"I'm happy. Very happy." He looked at himself honestly and bluntly. Those words made Nia feel lighter.

But because of this, it also made her feel painful.

"Please make a promise."

Keping held his hand, waiting for Nia's words.

"Don't leave before me."

Kaiping's eyes widened in surprise. To be honest, this is an impossible request. No matter how you look at it, even if Nia lives to the end of his life, Kaiping will die before him.

It was a childlike plea.

Kaiping laughed: "I will try my best."

"No! Promise me!"

"Haha, okay. I understand."

Nia smiled innocently. That smile made his heart warm.

“Please take good care of me in the future!”

"Yes, please take care of me!"

What is childlike innocence?

Is it a heart with unfinished dreams?

Is it an unshakable belief in the future?

You may not find the right answer anywhere in this world.

But even so, if you can catch a glimpse of part of that landscape, you might be able to find your own answer. Ordinary, mundane landscapes can be even if they are not glorious things, even if they are not filled with wonder.

As long as I can stand next to this person and look at the scenery together.

Just that, is enough.

Kepin and Nya held each other's hands and laughed loudly. They faced each other, laughing loudly, and the nurse rushed over to scold them, as was natural.

"——After that, Mr. officially accepted me as his assistant, and it remains to this day." Kaiping and Noel sat down facing the cushioned sofa, drinking coffee while talking.

After finishing speaking, Kaiping took a sip of coffee: "Although it's not a very interesting story."

Although he said that, Kaiping couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Noel's happy face: "Nothing, it's very interesting." Hearing Noel's answer, Kaiping smiled bitterly.

It's nice to be praised, even if it's a compliment, for meeting Nia.

"We love each other deeply, I already understand." Kaiping smiled.

"Yes. It may be a small thing to others, but it is a very important thing to me."

After a slight pause, Keping continued: "To me, Sir is everything to me."

The original determination became a matter of course over time and became part of his daily life.

I don’t have any regrets, but feel proud.

Noel said softly "That's great."

Keping suddenly realized that Noel was the being who had been deprived of his importance.

Kaiping was looking for words to say, but Noel spoke: "What about me, can I find it again?"

Kaiping's eyes widened, and then he laughed: "Well, it must be possible. As long as you believe in yourself, you will be able to find it."

Noel is carrying a heavy load and has a long road ahead of him.

In short, in this life full of dead vines and old trees, we must continue to carry the burden on our shoulders. Even this little bit of happiness is worth it.

Kaiping stood up: "I've been talking for a long time."

Noel also stood up suddenly: "Yes. I'm sorry. I forgot the time. Do you want to hurry up?"

Kaiping shook his head and replied: "No, there are no special arrangements today. If I have to say something, just go to the research institute and show up."

Hearing this, Noel's expression became stiff: "That means, is there still time?"

"Eh? Yes. There is still time, but..." Kaiping frowned, and Noel lowered his head shyly.

"Well, uh..."

"What's up?"

Noel is acting a bit unlike himself. Is there anything we need to discuss?

For a moment, Keping remembered what Nia had said to Noel that morning, "If you aim -", but he immediately denied that possibility.

So, what exactly is it?

"It's not easy to say it out loud though."

"Um?"

"But, can you show me the wound on your back?"

Silence, Noel's cheeks flushed. Kaiping was stunned and his thoughts stopped.

"Ah, well, I can't control myself when I see other people's wounds..."

"what are you saying?"

"Especially male wounds make me..."

"No problem at all."

"In order to listen to you, I have been patient..."

"Miss Noel, why are you getting closer? Why do you spread your hands to prevent me from escaping?"

"It's okay, just looking at it..."

"It's just that people who look at it don't have their pupils widened."

"Stop rambling. Ah, wait a minute, Noel..."

While being attacked, Kaiping thought to himself, I hope women like this can also be a little considerate.

The bar is very lively at night. While looking at the usual bustle, the store manager looked at the seat opposite the counter with some loneliness.

In that position that has become a fixed seat, Renault usually drinks hot milk while happily watching the commotion of his companions.

"——Did you hear that? Mr. William!"

When he was called, Lunéval was holding his drink and his face was red. He grumbles endlessly, seemingly more so than the other adventurers. But because he looks so handsome, it always feels a little out of place.

"Sorry, sorry. What are we talking about?" the store manager replied:

"You didn't listen!" Runeval looked angry, "So, I hope to be more active and more handsome. I -"

The store manager smiled bitterly and said, "Yes." This was all he could say.

Suddenly, Lunéval shouted: "You don't understand at all! Mr. William!"

"Um?"

"You should at least realize that even though you are no longer an adventurer, everyone still respects you!"

What consciousness is he referring to?

"Well, are you complimenting me?" The store manager looked at him awkwardly, and then a female voice came from the door of the bar: "Ah, it is indeed here."

The store manager turned his head and curled his lips to express disgust as he watched Sachi running over.

"I'm sorry! Really..." Thatch said, grabbing Lunerval's shoulders.

"Let's go! Bordeaux and Grimm are waiting."

Lunéval said: "Ah, it's Sachi", replying incoherently.

The store manager listened to Sage's speech in confusion: "Grim? Is he here?"

"Well, he told me that he wanted to see Renault again, and then he came to Luke's funeral and then hurried back to Hanova."

Through Saatchi's answer, the store manager understood that Renault was no longer in the imperial capital. He was really a person with very bad timing.

"So, he said that he would meet up with Ryan in the Misty Mountains on the way back from the Empire. I think it's best for you to go there."

The store manager frowned again: "I think it's best not to go."

"I thought so too, but when it came to the Misty Mountains, Grimm's mood became very high."

Hearing this, the store manager thought of Nia who was happily studying, and he felt that the scholar was somewhat similar to him.

"Well, maybe catch up with Ryan? I think that would be better."

"Okay. I plan to leave immediately."

The store manager nodded, "Really?" Luneval rolled his eyes and said, "There are many Sachi."

Sage said helplessly: "Really, oh." Luneval stood up.

The store manager looked at this scene and expressed sympathy: "It's hard for you too."
