38 Journey, Journey, Life, Mercy.
- Tendar, Duke of Neumont, Kingdom of Radius.
Just now, looking back at the place she had just left behind, Aina exhaled.
The sky is blue, the wind is calm.
The sun is warm and a great day to travel.
But there's a little melancholy in that mood.
"- Mm-hmm. My seniors are saying it's more suspicious over there!
"That's what my brother would say, I'm sure! I'm offering you, too!
Well, it goes without saying again that this idiot brother and sister is responsible.
Or was it worse since the trip, although I was in a more rushed mood than I was?
Or maybe even that one weighed itself down, but either way, I'm only sure it's a source of Eina's headache.
"Here, you two idiots there! I told you I don't have time to stop by today, though!
"Hmm... I see, they did ask, but I don't remember the hatred and my life nodding at it!
"I don't either!
"Weird!"
Put your hands on your head so you can have a headache, exhaling a total sigh.
It's been an exchange that has been repeated over and over again, and each time Aina largely loses, but that's not how it all goes this time.
"You said by the end of the day that if we don't make it to the next realm, we're gonna be in trouble, right? I think the loss is going to be bigger as a result, and time doesn't mean you can afford it."
"No... you're right... I feel somewhat suspicious over there...!
"That's what you always say. It's nothing! No, sometimes it really does... but in the end, magic isn't all about shards."
"No, that's why it is. Being off all this time means it should be time for a hit......!
"That's not human thinking, is it?
With those words exchanged, if we walked out on the regular path, the Somas, who were about to head in the direction of the day after tomorrow, arrived reluctantly.
Apparently, just this time, he understood.
Truly, at all.
Aina, Soma, Lina and.
As the three of us continued our journey, the year would have dawned if we had noticed.
Despite all that time, I haven't left the Duke of Neumont yet because of what I've been seeing.
In other words, somas - or mainly somas - will do as they please.
I guess there's no choice given the purpose of the journey, and at the point of Soma's purpose in the first place, that's an unprecedented substitute.
Normally you can't find a way to do that where you searched, if you ask me, that's true... but there will be a lot of impotence in following the survey to find out what looks suspicious for now.
Lina gets on with it, so she loses by a majority where Eina disagrees... well, I guess Eina also has a problem acknowledging that behavior while saying something.
Besides, if they say that journeying is such a thing, they even think it might be such a thing.
... Although Eina's journey as she knows it wasn't like this.
"Oh, yeah, it's Lina... Lina"
And I called on the girl in the rear, saying a name I couldn't yet call, because I had remembered.
Mindful of Soma, who was naturally leading the way if he noticed, he lurks his voice slightly.
"Hey, you sure you don't want me to tell you?
"I think it's good. Your brother doesn't need it, and it's enough to know when it's necessary."
Speaking of what, this is Duke of Neumont territory... which means that Soma's family name is Neumont and his own house is the Duke's.
Yes, it seems that Soma still doesn't know that.
Eina and I walked through the territory to crush it, but even if we need to know where we are in the city now, we don't have to bother talking about which territory it is.
That's why I've come so far without even being particularly talked about.
Sometimes that means that Soma doesn't care, and some people aren't trying to tell me that Lina doesn't need that like she does now.
Of course it's something Eina should teach me, but that makes me feel different.
Nevertheless, what Lina did not try to teach seemed to avoid becoming a burden by teaching rather than by repelling her own house.
Aina, too, can be described as out of the house there, so I can see that that sort of thing is somehow.
And while she was doing so, Lina walked toward Soma, just saying she was done talking about this.
Aina is slightly dissatisfied with it.
Sure, there won't be a problem without knowing... but that sounds kind of lonely -
"Hmm...? I see, I wonder what you were talking about... that you miss Eina sleeping alone, huh? That's certainly a problem..."
"Hey, I didn't say a word about that......!?
Maybe it's to delude you about what's going on, but what a blow in nonetheless?
Or in the meantime, those two, I know, stop looking at me like I'm raw and warm.
"Then I didn't think of that at all, did I?
"I don't..."
It was this morning that I remembered unexpectedly.
Essentially, the Ainas often fall asleep wrapped up.
One of the reasons why there are so many wild lodgings is that it also means saving money.
At least Aina and Lina have been together so far... but yesterday we had a lot going on and each one of us was going to sleep separately.
A small, but widely felt room.
When I woke up, the sight of no one else.
That's enough to remind me of almost two years ago, when I was traveling alone.
"... Oh, there isn't!
"What is it now?
"It's gone."
"Ugh, shut up!
Aware of the redness of your cheeks, deflect your face.
I was unconscious.
Maybe that's not what I said appropriately.
Perhaps we both noticed.
Things were just a little weird with Eina.
Because for Aina, the journey was harsh in itself.
I'm alone, traveling alone on a path I don't even know if it fits, and I don't even know if I can trust anyone I meet.
I couldn't even get out of my mind when I went to bed... I was exhausted and tried to give up and get to that village.
I don't know if that's enough, with that in mind.
Maybe that's why Eina was simply human distrust back then, but that's why she just seemed so.
But for Aina, the fact that the journey is harsh is an unmistakable fact... but the journey with Soma and Lina was fun.
That day, Soma forcefully pulled my hand.
Right after that, Lina came.
That's true, it was fun... but no, that's all I thought about, Aina shook her head.
Because it's still fun.
So I spoke out, like blowing up extra thoughts.
"I mean, say that, isn't Lina the one who misses sleeping alone? When you sleep with me all the time, most of the time, Lina's diving into my futon sometime?
"Ho ho...?
"Oh, hey, that's a secret......! Yes, eh, coincidence... yes, it is coincidence...! I fell asleep and made a mistake!
"What you're saying is so strange..."
I exhale at all, saying that.
The sky is blue, the wind is calm.
The sun is warm… it's a great day to travel, with nature and a grin on their faces.
Located at the southernmost point of Duke Neumont territory.
Until the next territory, it was not long ago.
