Volumen 06 Capítulo 61 - El Final del Viaje

1ª Parte

3 días después de nuestro encuentro con Orsted, llegamos al reino de Asura.

El lugar al que nos dirigimos se encuentran a la vuelta de la esquina, aunque no sería una exageración decir que ya llegamos. Y aún así, las expresiones en los rostros de nuestro grupo no muestran emoción por esto.

Estoy más que seguro que el incidente del otro día nos bajó increíblemente los ánimos; pero nuestros rostros contrastan en gran medida con aquellas personas con las que nos cruzamos en nuestro viaje.

Pero es normal, fue una derrota completa y sin posibles excusas, a los 3 nos derrotaron en apenas unos segundos y hasta llegaron a tomar mi vida.

No entiendo el volunto que le llevó a hacerlo, pero hizo algo poco propio reviviéndome después.

Aunque de no ser por este hecho, yo ya no me encontraría en este mundo, y sobre ese aspecto, soy incapaz de comprender la realidad de lo ocurrido.

Hasta para mí es extraño esto, pero lo que sentí en aquel entonces no era exactamente miedo; y aunque cuando me dio el último golpe, no puedo negar que pensé que no quería morir y no me extrañaría mucho que eso se pudiera haber convertido en una especie de trauma.

Pero en su lugar, cuando volví en mí, por alguna razón lo que pude sentir es que estaba completamente renovado... bueno no, eso no sería la forma correcta de decirlo, sino que lo acepté casi como si lo ocurrido fuera un sueño, como cuando te despiertas después de ver una pesadilla.

Quizás esa sensación se deba a que mientras me encontraba al borde de la muerte Hitogami me llevó al mundo de los sueños, dándome a entender que todo lo ocurrido no había sido más que un sueño...

Cuando pensé en esto, se me ocurrió que Hitogami quizás hubiera planeado algo así y que por eso me llevó a ese sitio blanco justo en ese momento.

Personalmente, siento que estoy bloqueando instintivamente los hechos en mi cabeza, pero visto lo que hizo por Ruijerd, me da la sensación de que podría no ser tan mala persona por lo que la teoría de arriba ganaría fuerza.

2ª Parte

Desde que pasé por esa experiencia cercana a la muerte, la distancia con Eris la noto extremadamente cercana. Hasta este punto, cuando viajábamos en el carruaje, por lo general había más de un pie de distancia entre nosotros.

"¿Por qué no haces conmigo este entrenamiento para el equilibrio, Ludeus?"

Eso dice, pero en estos últimos días, lo hace sentada. Justo a mi lado, estamos tan separados que nuestros muslos están en contacto y bien pegados.

Y llegados a esta distancia, hay varios detalles que puedo contemplar. Como por ejemplo, en un día concreto, pude ver sin dificultad la piel expuesta en el interior de los bordes de tanto su camiseta como su pantalón.

Viendo semejante escena, el débil corazón humano te llevaría involuntariamente a tocar semejante espectáculo, y dejándome llevar por el impulso, involuntariamente dejé que mi mano derecha fuera a acariciar esa piel, que al notarla, hizo que Eris me mirará enfadada con la cara totalmente enrojecida.

Si soy sincero, hasta yo sentía vergüenza de haber hecho algo así. Pero lo que tuvo que llegar, no lo hizo.

Básicamente, Eris no me pega como antes, y eso que he hecho todo lo que implicaba una reprimenda física hasta este momento, pero ha dejado de hacerlo. Tan solo me fulmina con la mirada con una cara totalmente enrojecida, sin hacer nada a parte de mirarme; y aun tras el acto, Eris continúa sentada a mi lado como pegada a mí.

Hasta ahora, cuando hacía algo semejante, se alejaba de mí durante al menos un rato; pero nuestra distancia actual no cambia aun cuando imito estos actos.

Si soy sincero, empiezo a tener ganas de colar mi mano por dentro de su pantalón, por lo que llegados a este punto, preferiría que se separara un poco de mí; porque hasta yo sé que hay cosas que puedes disculparlas como si fuera una broma y dejarlas estar, y lo que empiezo a querer hacer no son de ese tipo de cosas. Pero lo estoy soportando por el momento.

Y totalmente ajena a mi conflicto interior, Eris continúa a mi lado.

"..."

Si fuera a dejar a mi mano hacer lo que le venta en gana, acabará tarde o temprano alargándose hasta sobar a Eris, por lo que me encuentro en estos momentos, realizando un experimento en el que genero magia en mi mano izquierda y utilizo mi mano derecha para desestabilizar y cancelar el maná de la anterior, imitando la magia que Orsted usó conmigo.

Si no me equivoco, la llamó Ran Ma (Distorsión Mágica)...

Justo cuando le voy a dar forma al hechizo en mi mano izquierda, utilizo una cantidad de maná alterado para interferir con la ejecución y dispersar el poder mágico del hechizo para que no sea capaz de ejecutarse.

Es una técnica bastante simple y consume una mínima cantidad de poder mágico, pero es una técnica increíble. Es más, si me paro a pensarlo, la barrera de nivel Real en la que me encerraron seguramente usara una aplicación similar para anular mi magia en su interior.

Explicarla en palabras es sencillo, pero llevarlo a la práctica es considerablemente más difícil, aunque quizás se deba a que soy yo mismo el que lanza el hechizo en mi mano izquierda.

A menudo, el hechizo en mi mano izquierda se ejecuta pero de forma incompleta y seguramente, para anularlo completamente, como Orsted hizo conmigo, hace falta una gran cantidad de práctica.

Pero aun así, con lo que soy capaz de hacer debería valerme para restringir a otros magos... por lo que no puedo negar que lo que ese tipo me enseñó es genial.

"Eh, Ludeus, ¿qué has estado haciendo con las manos todo este rato?"

"Estaba intentando imitar una magia que Orsted utilizó."

Tras decir esto, Eris se quedó mirando fijamente mis manos, observando que mi mano izquierda hay una pequeña piedra deformada que acabé lanzando al suelo.

Otro fallo..... Es casi como si jugara a piedra papel tijera solo con mis 2 manos, dejando que siempre gane mi mano izquierda, haciendo este entrenamiento irrelevante. Casi seguro que existe alguna clase de ley fundamental que debo comprender si quiero que funcione; ya que como cualquier tipo de alteración no sirve, quiere decir que hay una alteración concreta que aplicar al maná para que el hechizo no pueda coger forma. En ese caso, si existe una ley, ¿puedo tenerla en cuenta a la hora de lanzar mis hechizos para anular la anulación de magia...? no lo sé, quizás... Pero el límite está en la imaginación.

"¿Qué clase de magia es esa?"

"Es magia que anula magia."

"¿Se puede hacer algo así?"

"Responder a esa pregunta es el motivo de este entrenamiento."

"¿Cómo se te ha ocurrido hacer algo como eso?"

"Porque ha habido un par de casos últimamente en los que mi magia se ha visto bloqueada y he sido incapaz de hacer nada, y por eso lo estoy investigando. Y bueno, si volviera a encontrarme con Orsted y volviéramos a pelear, ¿no te gustaría al menos ser capaz de huir?"

Eris se quedó sin palabras al escucharme decir eso y el silencio se alargó. Por mi parte, pasado unos momentos, volví a repetir mi entrenamiento dejando escuchar como piedras caían y rodaban por el borde del camino.

"Dime, ¿por qué eres tan fuerte, Ludeus?"

Tras un largo rato en silencio, Eris me hizo esta pregunta sin venir a cuento.

¿Soy fuerte? No... es imposible que lo sea. No es por chulear, pero en estos últimos años, solo he podido sentir los límites de mi habilidad, ya que cada día no era más que una muestra más de mi impotencia, sobretodo en los últimos momentos importantes.

"Personalmente pienso que tú eres la más fuerte de los 2, Eris."

"Eso no es cierto."

"..."

"..."

Nuestra conversación se detuvo. Eris parecía querer decir algo, pero se mantuvo en silencio como si fuera algo difícil de decir.

¿Qué será? No tengo ni idea... bueno, se me ocurre de qué puede tratarse.

"¿Todavía te molesta el hecho de que te derrotara con tanta facilidad el otro día?"

"...Sí."

No había nada que hacer... el propio Hitogami lo dijo, Dios Dragón-sama es el ser más poderoso del mundo. Si hasta Ruijerd fue vencido sin dificultad... simplemente era un enemigo fuera de nuestro nivel, ya que en este mundo, existe un rango que no puede alcanzarse únicamente con esfuerzo.

Hasta en mi anterior vida tuve cosas en las que conseguí llegar a un nivel considerablemente elevado, pero jamás pude alcanzar el mayor nivel en ninguna de ellas. Supongo que si tratáramos algún juego relacionado con orgías podría haber sido invencible, pero siempre habrá alguien que esté por encima de ti...

Y parece que Orsted encima sufre una serie de restricciones, y aun en ese estado superó a Ruijerd en un combate cuerpo a cuerpo, se deshizo de Eris con una mano y a mí me dejó completamente bloqueado. Por si fuera poco, nos incapacitó de una forma que, a Ruijerd y Eris, los dejó totalmente inutilizados sin bajarles los HP a 0, salvo en mi caso; y aun así dio la impresión de que lo hizo sin apenas esfuerzo. Soy incapaz de imaginarme como sería si peleara en serio, aunque por lo que dijo Hitogami, no puede por culpa de una maldición... Pero también dijo, que aun sin ponerse en serio, ese tipo es invencible, y casi seguro eso no cambiará por mucho que me esfuerce en superarle.

"No se pudo hacer nada, simplemente nos tocó un mal oponente."

"...Pero..."

Comprendo la preocupación de Eris, sobretodo por el hecho de que fue vencida de un único golpe, siendo lanzada por los aires por una palmada en el lateral de su espada.

"Eris, todavía eres joven, si te sigues esforzando como hasta ahora, cada día serás más fuerte."

"Me cuesta creer que eso sea cierto."

"Pues créelo, ¿no te lo dijeron tanto Ghyslaine como Ruijerd?"

Eris de improvisó alzó su mirada, mirándome directamente a los ojos.

"Ludeus, ¿sabes que estuviste a punto de morir, no? En ese caso, como puedes... ¿Cómo puedes hablar del tema como si nada?"

Porque... porque realmente no ha dejado una impresión tan real como debería, aunque no tengo la menor intención de pelear contra Orsted. La próxima vez que le vea, pienso salir escopetado, o como rata gris que soy, me esconderé en algún agujero oscuro o algo similar; si no pudiera, en esta ocasión, seguramente ruegue que me perdone la vida, y si tengo suerte, me gustaría que tú, Eris, no estuvieras delante para ver algo así. Pero decirte abiertamente algo tan patético como eso, me da vergüenza.

"Porque no quiero morir la próxima vez."

"...Tienes razón, nadie querría morir."

"Pero estate tranquila, si te viera en peligro, Eris, me aseguraré de al menos ser capaz de escapar llevándote conmigo."

Fui incapaz de comprender la expresión de Eris ante mis palabras, pero tras eso, apoyó su cabeza en mi hombro. Si fuera a acariciar su cabeza en este momento, es probable que algo en mi despertara, pero el evento fue evitado debido a que mi mano derecha estaba entrenando el hechizo Ran Ma.

"Bueno, en cualquier caso, como ahora soy incapaz hasta de eso, tendré que hacerme un poco más fuerte."

Un poco más... exactamente, porque no podré convertirme en el más fuerte de este mundo, sobretodo viendo como el límite está tan increíblemente elevado, ya que tampoco pude convertirme en el mejor de mi anterior mundo; pero aunque no posea ni una pizca de talento, debería de conseguir algo a cambio de mi esfuerzo. No sé cuánto talento debo poseer comparado con el resto de seres de este mundo, pero no puedo confiarme mucho en ese aspecto y pensar que con eso será suficiente.

Porque al menos me gustaría ser capaz de escapar si acabo encontrándome con algún tipo extraño que me ataque de repente.

Enterré mi cabeza en el pelo de Eris y olisqueé su aroma mientras pensaba en todo esto.

3ª Parte

After it became night and Eris fell asleep, I started a conversation with Ruijerd.

Since that day, the number of things he was saying had decreased even more than usual.

He was never all that talkative in the first place, but became completely sullen and silent.

It seems he's bothered over that time.

He's a man with a strong sense of responsibility after all.

Even though he promised to escort us home safely, he might think he wasn't able to protect that.

It's stupid.

Even though it was rough luck, I'm as healthy as I look.

"That man known as Orsted was the Dragon God it seems. The second of the [Seven Great World Powers]."

First I entered using those words as a jab.

It can't be helped since the opponent was strong.

While holding onto that sort of nuance.

"I see, that does explain it..."

"He sure was strong wasn't he, after that, I was done in without being able to do a thing as well."

"The last time I realized with a glance that I had no chance of winning hasn't been since the time of Laplace."

According to Hitogami, it seems that Orsted is stronger than Laplace.

It seems even including the fact that he's under restrictions that won't let him become serious...

There's no point in telling Ruijerd about that.

He was dealt with using just physical techniques while being taken down easily.

That fact might have been a shock to Ruijerd.

Is what I thought, but,

"Even I never thought I would stand a chance against the upper ranks of the [Seven Great World Powers]. Those guys are true monsters that are beyond comprehension. I can't call it anything but bad luck that we would run into a guy like that just walking along the side of the road. And then I can't call it anything but good luck that we managed to survive. Rudeus if you ever meet a guy like that again, never pick a fight with them. There's no way to match them. If you don't want it to end up like this time at least."

"Yeah. Well, next time I'll probably avoid eye contact and pass through."

I was scolded by him.

Well, if I hadn't called out to him then it would have ended with nothing but passing by one another after all.

Let's go with reflecting on that.

Although, from the start he really didn't look like that much of a dangerous guy to me...

No, Ruijerd and Eris were showing that much of a reaction, I should have been more cautious.

"Then, what are you worrying about?"

After asking Ruijerd looked over at me.

"What is Hitogami?"

Oh. That matter.

"That guy had intended to overlook us at first. Even while scattering his blood thirst, he wasn't even taking us into consideration. However, the moment the name Hitogami came out of his mouth, his blood thirst was entirely focused on you."

I closed my eyes.

Should I tell him, or should I not.

I think I used to have the answer decided but...

It seems that despite how he looks the Hitogami isn't all that bad of a guy, even after such a thing happened I'm still hiding it.

It is also true that I don't like that fact.

Since that's the case, I decided to tell him.

"Actually, Hitogami is..."

Even though I worried about it that much, after I made a decision it quickly came out.

And then my mouth smoothly moved.

The fact that since the time of the teleport incident, an unknown individual calling himself Hitogami has occasionally appeared in my dreams.

The fact that individual gave me advice to help Ruijerd.

The fact that more than that he granted me a variety of other pieces of advice.

The fact that many of my strange actions were due to following those advice.

And then, the fact that Hitogami and Dragon God have a relationship of hostility.

My conversations with Hitogami are hazy and I think there were many things I was forgetting.

However, I think I conveyed all of the general parts.

"Hitogami and Dragon God... The seven gods of the ancient times huh... It's suddenly turned into an unbelievable story."

"I'm sure."

"However, there are parts where I can understand."

After saying that Ruijerd went silent.

Only the sound of the fire wood crackling away ruled the place.

The shadow created by the fire swayed from side to side, a single older warrior's face came to mind.

Thanks to his race Ruijerd looks young, but that expression has something that shows of its long history.

Suddenly, I remembered touching on the matter of the curse about Ruijerd in my last dream.

"Come to think of it, Ruijerd-san. It's about the dishonor of the Supard race, but it seems that was a curse."

"...What?"

"Putting it precisely, Laplace transferred his own curse into a spear and then had those spears given out to the entirety of your race...that sort of thing it seems."

"I see... a curse..."

I intended to bring it up as good news, but Ruijerd continued to think about it even more with a gloomy face.

"I had never heard about him transferring the curse, but if it's Laplace then it's possible. That guy was a man who could do anything after all."

I'm not really sure on the details, but I'd imagine Ruijerd would be more familiar with things regarding curses.

It seems like he thought about a variety of things for a short while, but finally he laughed weakly.

"If it's a curse then there's no method to remove it."

"Is that the case?"

"Yeah. Curses are curses because there's no method to remove them."

So there's no method to remove curses, huh.

"I've never heard about curses placed on the entirety of a race but... If it's something that god said, it might be the truth."

I laughed in self-derision, that I might have said something pointless.

I thought it was just the light, but I slightly saw tears welling up in the edges of the eyes.

"But."

"What is it?"

"The Human God said that the curse in the spear was different than normal, it seems it was about to disappear after the passage of time."

"What?"

"He said that the remaining curse is in Ruijerd himself, thanks to cutting your hair it's started to rapidly fade."

"Really!"

Ruijerd suddenly said that in a large voice.

Eris moved a bit and raised her voice with a "Hnn..."

I wonder if it would have been better to let her hear this conversation as well...

Well, it's fine if I tell her when she wakes up.

"Yeah. It seems that it's just the remains of the curse now and the prejudice received from the start of the curse supposedly. Depending on the effort Ruijerd-san puts into it from here on out, the popularity of the Supard race can slowly recover."

"I see... I get it, so that was how it was."

"However, it's something Hitogami said, I think we can believe what he says to some extent, but it's better not to swallow the story whole. It's better to keep going with caution just like up until now."

"I understand. However, it's plenty for me just hearing that."

Ruijerd went silent.

It wasn't just the light playing tricks on me anymore.

Ruijerd let tears flow.

"Then, it's about time for me to sleep."

"Yeah."

I decided to pretend as if I hadn't seen those tears.

The Ruijerd-san that we rely on is a strong man who would never let tears flow.

Part 4

And then one month after that.

We were aiming straight north.

Rather than going in the direction of the capital, we travelled further north along a thin road.

We moved from point to point along small rural villages, continuing north with fields of wheat, water wheels, and small huts along the sides.

We never even bothered collecting information.

With the fastest speed possible, we aimed north.

I thought we would understand all of the information once we arrived at the refugee camp.

However, more than that, it's just a bit more, the thought that I wanted to hurry and arrive.

We arrived in the Fedoa region.

We came to know there was nothing left.

No, we had already known about this matter.

Just, in that place which there used to be something, there was now nothing.

The field of wheat, the flower garden of Batirusu, the water wheel shed, as well as the livestock sheds it was all gone.

It was just a grass-covered plain spreading out.

A vast, vast grassland.

While holding a sense of loneliness from that spectacle, we arrived at what you could call the only current town in Fedoa region.

We arrived at the refugee camp.

The land of our final objective.

Just a few steps before the entrance of that place, Ruijerd stopped the carriage.

"Hn? What's wrong?"

Ruijerd descended from the driver's seat.

I looked over the surroundings wondering if a monster had appeared, no shadows of an enemy.

Ruijerd walked around to the back of the carriage and said it.

"I'll be taking my leave here."

"Eh!!"

The words that were suddenly declared.

I raised my voice in surprise.

Eris's eyes were opened wide as well.

"Wai-wait just a minute."

We got off the carriage as if we were about to fall over and went to face Ruijerd.

Isn't this too fast?

We only just arrived at the refugee camp.

No, we haven't even arrived yet we're just standing outside of it.

"At the very least how about taking it easy for one day or so, No, at least come together with us into the town?"

"That's right, after all..."

"There's no need."

Ruijerd looked at us with those blunt words.

"There's no need for a warrior here. There's no need for protection."

"..."

Eris went silent in response to those words.

Honestly.

I might have forgotten about it a bit.

Ruijerd came along only just to see us up to our hometown.

Now that the objective has been completed, it's only natural for us to separate.

Even though I thought we would be together forever.

"Ruijerd-san..."

After opening my mouth I hesitated.

If I try to detain him, will he stay I wonder...

No, after re-thinking it, I have brought a heavy amount of troubles onto this man.

There were certainly plenty of times where I have troubled him, but the times when I showed him my shameful parts were common.

Even though that's the case, he recognized me as a Warrior.

I don't think I can depend on him anymore than this.

"If it weren't for Ruijerd-san, I'm sure we wouldn't have been able to make it here in three years."

"No, if it was you then it should have been possible."

"There's no way that's the case. Since there are places where I'm lacking, I think I would have stumbled somewhere."

"As long as you can say that you'll be all right."

There were quite a few situations where I had no solution.

For example, the time when I was captured in Shirone, if it hadn't been for the existence of Ruijerd, I would have panicked more, I'm sure I would have been more distracted.

"...Rudeus, I said it once before, but."

Ruijerd looked over me with an even more peaceful face than usual.

"You've already accomplished yourself as a magician. Even though you possess that much talent you haven't grown arrogant. You should hold self-awareness that you were able to do that much at such a young age."

I received those words with complicated feelings.

Even if you say youth, the age of my experiences has already gone over 40 years.

The reason I haven't grown arrogant is because I still have memories of that time.

However, even if I said it's 40 years, if I look at it in comparison to Ruijerd's age, then it would enter into the category of young.

"I..."

Here is where I should I have started to talk about my bad portions.

However, I had a feeling that would have been just too shameful.

In front of this man, I want to stand a bit tall.

"No, I understand. Ruijerd-san, we've really depended on you quite a bit until now."

After saying that and lowering my head, I was caught and stopped.

"Rudeus don't lower your head to me."

"...Why?"

"You might think you've been depending on me, but I think I've been depending on you. Thanks to you, I have the feeling I've been able to see hope for the recovery of my family's honor."

"I haven't done anything at all. I couldn't really do much at all."

In regards to the Magic Continent, I think we did end up making the name Dead End into something agreeable, but that was limited to just the framework of Adventurers.

Since our established reputation couldn't be used in the Milis Continent, while I was thinking about different methods to approach it, it just kept being put off.

In the end, since the time we came to Central Continent, we haven't done anything.

Up until now, I feel that the influence has started to come around a bit.

However, that is limited to just a bit.

Putting aside the largely remaining history of persecution in the world and of course the prejudice towards the Supard race, we weren't able to do anything.

"No, you were able to achieve a variety of things. You were able to teach someone like me who only knows how to honestly save children that a variety of methods exist."

"However, all of them had weak effects."

"However, it certainly has changed. I remember everything. According to your scheme in the Town of Rikarisu, the words of the old woman who said she didn't fear the Supard race. The happy faces of the adventurers who laughed without fear after hearing the name Dead End. The closeness to the Dedorudia race warriors who came to recognize us even after hearing the name Supard race. The Shirone soldiers who thanked me in tears after being reunited with their families."

Putting aside the first two, the two after were all Ruijerd giving it his best effort.

I haven't done anything.

"..That is Ruijerd-san, your own power."

"No. I couldn't do anything myself. It's been 400 years since the war, I moved around alone and I wasn't able to advance even one step forward. The one who allowed me to take that step forward was you, Rudeus."

"...However, that was always under the advice of Hitogami."

"Things about a god that I've never seen don't matter at all. The one who actually saved me was you. I don't know what you think, but I feel a debt of gratitude towards you. Therefore, don't lower your head, you and I are equal, rather than thanking, look with your eyes."

While saying that Ruijerd faced me and held out his hand.

While I was looking at him in the eyes.

Without averting my eyes from there I grabbed his hand.

"I'll say it once more. Rudeus, thanks for the assistance"

"We as well, thanks for the assistance."

While tightly holding onto his hand, the strength of Ruijerd was conveyed.

The inner corners of my eyes got hot.

This shameful I, this I who made nothing but mistakes, Ruijerd recognized me.

After a short while, we quietly released our hands.

That hand moved to the side and was placed on top of Eris's head.

"Eris."

"...What is it?"

"Is it fine if I treat you like a child in the end?"

"It's fine, really."

Eris bluntly responded.

Ruijerd lightly smiled and caressed Eris's head.

"Eris, you have talent. You should have enough talent to become far stronger than me."

"That's a lie, after all... That guy..."

Eris linked her lips together in a frown and made a sullen face.

Ruijerd suddenly laughed a bit, normally, he would have said words about training.

"You fought against someone with the name of God, and received their technique. The meaning of that..."

Understood?

Eris was definitely glaring at Ruijerd.

Before long, she opened her eyes wide.

"...I understand."

"Alright, good girl."

Ruijerd patted Eris's head and then removed his hand.

Eris continued with her lips shaped in a frown and grasped her fist tightly.

It looked like she was on the verge of crying but desperately tried to endure it.

I asked Ruijerd without taking my eyes off her.

"Ruijerd-san, what are you going to do from here on out?"

"I don't know, I intend to search around for survivors of the Supard race in Central Continent for a short while. If it's just me alone, then recovering the honor is just a dream within a dream after all."

"I see, please give it your best. If I have any spare time, I'll try playing some kind of hand."

"...fu...Then I as well, if I have spare time I'll look for your mother."

Ruijerd said that while facing me.

Preparations for a journey are unnecessary for him.

He can live and walk on with just the clothes on his back.

However, he suddenly stopped.

"Come to think of it, I still needed to return this."

While saying that, Ruijerd took off the pendant that was hanging around his neck.

The pendant I received from Roxy.

The Migurd race pendant.

It was the only item that connected Roxy and I.

"That is, Ruijerd-san please hold onto it."

"Is it fine? Isn't it a precious item?"

"It's because it's a precious item."

After saying that, Ruijerd nodded silently.

It seems like he'll accept it.

"Well then, Rudeus, Eris... Let's meet again."

While saying that Ruijerd left us.

The time when he decided to come along with us, he talked about all sorts of things, but during the time he leaves, it's in an instant.

I had a lot of things I wanted to say.

Meeting in Magic Continent and coming together with us to the Asura Kingdom.

Really a lot of things happened.

Enough that you can't even put it into words, a lot of things, a lot of feelings...

The feelings towards an ally who I don't want to part with.

"Let's meet again."

I summarized those feelings with just those words and watched Ruijerd's back disappear into the distance.

That's right, it's fine if we meet again.

I'm sure we'll meet again.

As long as we're both alive, definitely.

Eris and I watched Ruijerd's figure until we could no longer see him.

Just quietly, packed together with our thanks until now.

---

Just like this, our journey came to an end.
