Episode 52
Shoot ───
My eyes naturally opened as the warm wind swept through the grass in the field.
Every time the carriage wheels creaked, my body shook pleasantly. A sight I’ve seen once… … .
As I sat up, with a cool breeze caressing the cold sweat that had soaked my body, the heavens and earth were stained with twilight.
“Ah, you’re awake!”
A clear voice came from the coach seat. It was Sammy. She was leading two pack horses, holding the reins.
“This place… … .”
“This is the road to
This time, a voice came from next to me. With the heavy clanking sound of black iron.
“I know that stability is the top priority, but Rem said the holidays will end soon.”
“okay!
Rem, stability, holidays… … .
In the midst of the list of words, a headache that felt like it would break my bones suddenly came to me. Memories I had forgotten in my sleep awoke.
“It’s all real…” … ?”
If all those memories were true, then being alive and breathing right now was a miracle in itself.
Haaa… … .
As I let out a long breath and flopped down helplessly in the luggage compartment, Rem chattered.
“But your network is wider than you think?”
“huh?”
“I almost got into big trouble on my way out of the city because of that banned book you brought with me, but the special department just let me through.”
If it’s a special department… … Is this Doran Slade?
“A person with narrow eyes and an unpleasant smile?”
“uh. Just that feeling! “They told me to say hello to Lane Wijak and say, ‘This is an expression of affection from my future boss to Lane Wijak.’”
“Say you don’t want to receive it.”
He was a man with a knack for suddenly appearing here and there when he was bored. Thanks to that, I was able to come to
“Still, it is true that I received a favor. “I’ll say hello later.”
Grace… … If you think about it that way, isn’t there someone who should be greeted first?
These idiots not only followed me here because they were worried about me, but they even helped me by turning the warlocks into enemies.
Sammy also pretends to be fine, but cold sweat can be seen running down the Volga. Friede also suffered a lot after redeeming Amdok… … .
“… … “If it weren’t for you guys in the first place, we wouldn’t have even been inspected by that person.”
Therefore, he slowly turned his head and muttered in a hushed voice, as if he was complaining or complaining.
Will there come a day when I can honestly express my gratitude like Rista did? Will there come a day when I can honestly laugh and cry?
Bart and Sammy smiled as if they had reached the sincerity that could not be expressed.
“what?!”
But Rem jumped onto the luggage compartment and theatrically put his hand to his ear.
“I didn’t hear. Can you say it again?”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“What?! “If it weren’t for you guys, that person wouldn’t have been inspected, right?!”
“I heard you didn’t say anything!”
“and! Bart! Sammy! “Rain, who said he wouldn’t have been inspected by that person if it weren’t for you guys, has more to say!”
“Oh, don’t do it!”
“Ah, huz mlrg~!”
Rain stretched out his hand and tried to grab Rem, but there was no way that a mere wizard could keep up with the agility of a top archer.
As Lem imitated Lane’s voice while avoiding Lane’s touch, Sammy burst out laughing.
Although Bart stopped him from teasing him, there was a hint of laughter in his voice.
‘Well, I guess it’ll be okay.’
Sammy thought as he glanced back at Lane, who was playfully grabbing Rem.
‘If you’re that brave, nothing strange will happen if you read a banned book… … .’

It was late at night on Friday, and I was able to safely arrive at the west gate of
This too was close.
The gatekeeper was just about to close the gate, so if he had been a little late, he would have had to sleep outside.
“It’s this dark, isn’t the dormitory already closed?”
As we passed through the night-filled streets, Rem, who had been in charge of guarding the four pillars throughout the journey, yawned lazily. Lane shook his head.
“They said the dormitory is open until midnight during holidays.”
“okay?”
Then Rem scratched his head and looked at Bart as if he was slightly disappointed. At that time, I wondered why I did that.
“No~ That’s why I did such hard labor at
The news of
Rem, who was listening to that story, grumbled.
“If you want to get caught by the Inquisitors and keep testifying and become a target of the warlocks, you can confess that Rem beat them all up.”
“You’re noisy, man. Who doesn’t know? “It’s just that I feel a bit disappointed about something.”
After having such a trivial conversation, we were able to arrive at the front door of the dormitory.
By that time, my body had recovered so much that I was able to walk on my own. The pain and fatigue remain, so I probably won’t be able to do any strenuous exercise for a few weeks… … .
As I jumped off the wagon and relaxed, Bart opened his mouth heavily.
“Then I think we should part ways now.”
“Of course. “Is that what’s going to set the mood like this?”

“Rain, we actually followed you to say hello. “It would have happened that way if nothing had happened in
What a hell of a greeting.
He chuckled and shook his head.
“I said it was enough to say thank you.”
However, the atmosphere between the three people was somewhat subtle. I felt like my heart was shrinking from an unknown anxiety.
“That’s not true, I won’t be able to see you for a while now.”
“I can’t see you for a while?”
“I was called.”
I sucked in my breath in surprise. Because there was only one case where the adventurers said they were called.
Trident Point.
It was a cape spread out in the shape of a trident in the North Sea area on the northwest side of the continent, and was a sacred place for adventure where only truly skilled people could participate.
It is adjacent to the land of madness, Harbadonia, where ancient abyssal temples and labyrinths are concentrated, and it is said that more than 60% of the area is still unexplored.
The adventurers who worked there received several times the contribution and compensation, but because it was also twice as dangerous, it was a place where only those with at least a silver level or higher were allowed to operate.
“The Moby Dick Adventurers nominated us. It is ranked 3rd among adventurers. “I think it will be a stepping stone for great growth for me and Rem.”
Lane didn’t answer.
This is something that should be celebrated. This is something we should all be happy about together. But for some reason, my throat felt clogged, as if I had swallowed a lump of lead.
It was a strange feeling. Did I like these guys? I felt a little attracted to him, but was it to this extent?
“Sammy is not silver level.”
“Of course, because it is such a dangerous place, I am also planning to return to church. “Now I’m going to prepare for the priest exam in earnest.”
Sammy grinned.
Rem, who was looking at Lane’s expression, joked.
“Why are you scared because my cool brothers and sisters are going? “Do you want me to stay by your side?”
“… … “Wow, that’s nonsense.”
Lane slightly looked away and muttered with a pouty face.
I thought about telling him not to go. I wanted to say let’s stay together. But Bart said he hopes Trident Point will be a stepping stone for growth.
I thought that holding onto a friend who wanted to go to a place like that would be too selfish.
“I thought we could just say hello and part ways.”
At that time, Bart suddenly got down on one knee and made eye contact. Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on Lane’s head, stroking it.
Although it was a rough touch due to the nature of a warrior, I could feel the affection contained in it.
Suddenly, an old memory came to mind. The feelings she felt from Kies and Rista, who used to stroke Rin’s head when she was bored, came back to her.
“I’m so worried about this incident that I can’t stop going.”
For a moment, his eyes shook violently. Was it a shock reaction from a painful realization?
Ah, I see, I really like this eccentric trio… … .
It’s only when it’s time to break up that I become honest with my feelings. You’re repeating the mistakes you made in your past life.
– Lin.
What would Rista have done if she were here right now, and if I had told her I was leaving for my training?
“Don’t worry, just go.”
“hmm?”
“It’s funny, really. I am several times stronger than you all. “Why are you worried when you know it better than anyone else because you’ve seen it firsthand?”
It might have been softer and warmer, but it certainly would have said something like this. To make your departure feel lighter and less anxious, just a little bit.
Rem, whose lips were trembling uncomfortably as if she was not used to the atmosphere of separation, finally smiled arrogantly and crossed her arms.
“When we meet again, I’m preparing to greet you properly. “Because this world-famous palace, Rem, may be in the palace.”
“No, that’s impossible.”
It was an evaluation that came out in a playful way, but Rem reacted sensitively.
“Yumma! Why did you decide that?! Are you the next emperor? “Did you pick the Yellow River Affairs Ministry?”
Sammy laughed haha, Bart grinned, and Lane also chuckled. Rem also suddenly smiled sadly as if it was a joke and held out her hand.
“Then, Naughty Rain, stay healthy and take care of yourself.”
When I held his hand, I already felt lonely. But he didn’t show it. If it were Lista, it would have been like that.
“Sammy, lose some weight.”
“Haha, thank you for your concern, brother. Next time, you can’t tell me I’m too skinny and say that? Oh.”
Sammy, smiling brightly, came over and placed a heavy object in Lane’s hand.
It was a banned book, a book about Tureina.
Bart and Rem didn’t ask Lane about the banned book. I believe that Lane will explain it himself when he feels like it.
‘In order to gain trust from the other person, isn’t it necessary to trust them first?’
Sammy also followed that judgment. Because the two people rarely made mistakes.
The two did not ask Lane about the book, nor did they ask about Lane’s identity. Just like I did with Sammy before.
Bart, who was looking down at Lane, who was looking at the book with countless emotions, finally stood up.
“Then, Lane, this is our farewell for a while.”
After Bart finished speaking, the gang of oddballs turned around. As they walked into the darkness, their footsteps suddenly stopped. Because Lane shouted.
“again… … “I can see you again, right?”
Perhaps because the shout was quite unexpected, the group of oddballs were seen exchanging puzzled glances with each other.
They were actually smiling happily, although Lane couldn’t tell from the distance… … .
Finally, Rem made a hand trumpet around his mouth and answered as the representative of the geeks.
“Why are you asking the obvious? “We are friends.”
At that moment, Lane waved his hand vigorously, feeling the warmth stirring deep inside his heart. The gang of oddballs also waved their hands and walked away again.
