“Brother! Listen to me now!”
I was buying the necessary potions at the general store, but this time, he came to me again, knowing how to know my location, and repeats what I said before in the forest.
“Miru? How did you come back?”
He sighed with a hint of disgust and expressed his dislike for her, but her words were the same as if they had been decided.
“Now, you have to leave this country! Otherwise it’s really dangerous!”
Panting as if he had run all the way to here in a hurry, he was gasping for breath.
“Please trust me just this one time…! Oppa is in danger!”
Even though it is clearly a place where other people exist, it attracts other people’s attention by screaming as if it is resonating in the ear regardless of such things.
For some reason, I, not her, felt drowsy, and I had to hurry up to comfort Miru before I received strange glances from the public.
“Calm down for now, since people’s eyes are on us, at least we’ll finish our work here and do it outside.”
I didn’t reject her offer like I did before, but I try to calm my excitement somehow by pretending to listen…
“I don’t have time, if I don’t follow along now, it might be sooner—”
He wanted to say something recklessly, but then he felt embarrassed and shut his mouth.
Even though I’m still crazy, I couldn’t listen to the last words she said loudly in the general store.
Maybe you’re saying you don’t have time…
“Erina… Try to convince yourself too.”
I was so tired of her reckless attitude that I couldn’t stop her, and I reluctantly asked her for help.
“Wait a minute, Harold… I think you should hear something from her.”
Strangely, it takes Miru’s side and makes me even more troubled.
He looked at her with wide eyes, as if Moore had been possessed, to see what intrigued her.
“Erina?”
“Let’s hear her talk, something bothers me.”
If even Erina said these words and delayed it any longer, interest would spread not only to those inside the general store but also to those outside, so I had to reluctantly follow Miru’s advice.
“Ha… Okay, for now, let’s calculate what we bought and move around. There are too many eyes to see right now.”
As the words of affirmation fell from my mouth, she smiled faintly as if she had done it, and only then did she quickly turn her head and look around when I told her to take a moment to look around.
“I’m sorry bro…”
Thinking that he had harmed me, he lowered his head with a sad face with a sense of self-doubt.
“But I’m in such an urgent business…!”
I was seriously confused about what he really wanted to say to me, and now I am confused as to what happened.
If a creature was really urgent, it often had the characteristic of not paying attention to its surroundings while concentrating on the task.
As such, the fact that I, who is currently procrastinating, is finally starting to become conscious of the surroundings that I am finally accepting my will, seems to be obsessed with the fact that ‘I have to leave this place’.
There was still a sense of lack, but I had to pay the price for the items I had packed in a hurry and take Miru outside.
Recognizing that I am out of sight of people in an instant, I haveten my steps and fall into a relatively quiet alley with few people.
“Well, then, why do you want me to leave this kingdom by saying that?”
As I entered the dark road, I stared at her without saying a word, wondering what she wanted to say so much to me.
There must be a reason for saying such a thing, when she first brought up this story, she mentioned Morione and believed it, but in the end it was not convincing.
“Really, what did you hear from Morione-sama? You’re the kind of person who usually doesn’t tell anyone’s fate.”
The reason is that, to believe Miru, the existence of Morione is different from what I know.
It was a little weird at first, but in terms of the setting, I have a strong conviction and try to protect it almost absolutely, so Miru couldn’t hear my fate carelessly.
“Ugh… you’re right, Morione is definitely not like that.”
what..?
It was so easy to admit that there was a flaw in his logic, that he lost his pulse.
Then why did you come here again?
“But, did you just say it with your brother’s mouth? ‘No matter what,’ you don’t tell the fate of others.”
However, for a moment I had heard such thoughts, the words I spit out caught the pod.
“What?”
“Morione doesn’t tell anyone’s fate under normal circumstances, but it’s only ‘normal’, doesn’t it mean that she absolutely doesn’t tell you anything about it?”
It was only a little bit, but my body trembled with goosebumps and I felt a little chill in my bones.
“The fact that I was able to hear about your brother is that right now, this situation is just as dangerous, as I have said before, if you do not leave this kingdom now, your brother will be in danger… you may lose your life…”
Hearing that, Erina opened her eyes and grabbed Miru’s shoulder with a face that looked like she was about to lose her mind at any moment, shaking it in random motion.
“You’re losing your life?! Why?!!”
Embarrassed by Erina’s sudden action, she desperately tries to stop her.
“Now… Wait…!! Calm down…!!”
Erina, who was able to calm herself only after seeing Mir in pain and restraining herself, stopped acting, but with a worried expression on her face, she quietly waited for Miru’s next words.
“I haven’t heard the details… but the hint is probably in the ominous news from their respective gods.”
If I was talking about ominous news, it was probably the final quest of the first chapter, which is coming soon, the Battle of the Night of Doom.
At that moment, I was faced with a crisis to the point of losing my life?
It was only now that I began to have a little faith in the words that were sufficiently probable.
“So, brother, you have to leave this kingdom right now and go as far as possible, otherwise it will be really dangerous…”
“If you leave now, will you be able to live?”
I didn’t ask Miru politely with the feeling of running away, it was just a simple suspicion.
In the first place, no matter what happens, I have to stay here and overcome the night of ruin to progress the story.
That way I can go back to the real world I was in.
“No… I’m not sure, but I’m sure if you leave now, you’ll be fine for a while, so trust me!”
He desperately clings to me and begs me to leave this place as he pleases.
“I’m sorry, but that’s a bit overkill, because I have work to do.”
At that, Erina, including Miru, could not contain their astonishment, and Erina asked me a question before Miru.
“Hold on, Harold?! Your life is at stake! Don’t take it lightly!”
Her words were so reasonable, that I would face the fate of my death without escaping it.
“Why the hell?! Oppa is in danger!”
Miru also speaks to me in a cracked voice with a force to lose his temper.
“Honestly, I couldn’t possibly die if I was in danger of dying, and the news clearly said that the gods could die, so I can’t leave the goddess I serve.”
When they try to make a plausible excuse for their religious beliefs, they don’t understand what they are feeling, so they put on a somewhat sullen face.
“Everyday Goddess… Goddess… Do you like the Goddess that Harold has been serving until now?”
Then I shake my head as they drive me with a characteristic jealousy that is a little off topic.
“It’s for personal reasons, and as a believer, it’s natural to worship the god you serve, right?”
When he argues in a calm voice to make the goddess look as private as possible, he is a little skeptical, but reluctantly agrees.
“Anyway… I don’t intend to leave this country for now. I’m grateful for your heart for me, but it won’t change this time as I’ve been overcoming the fate that is a series of crises.”
When I speak confidently and confidently, I get a disappointing atmosphere whether I have given up on procrastination or have no desire to persuade me anymore.
“Okay… If you do, I’ll respect you…”
I leave those words behind and say a short goodbye.
“See you later…”
He immediately turns around and hides his appearance somewhere.
“……”

Naturally, it was only me and Erina left on this street, and she was still dissatisfied.“Harold, no matter how hard we go through, there’s something ominous about this… It’s not too late, shall we get the carriage?”
At that, I shook my head from side to side and thanked her for her consideration, but refused the favor.
“Thanks Erina as always, but I think this is the right path. It’s okay even if it’s the last, so I hope you understand me even if it seems reckless.”
At those words, Erina was still in trouble with an uncomfortable look on her face, and after a while slowly nodded her head weakly.
“Ummm… okay… if Harold said that…”
It was as if she was staring blankly into the air, wondering what she was thinking right now, and she could see that she was constantly conflicting with something.
◆◆◆
Time passes, Morione’s temple
“Is this enough to be called talent?”
Morione looks down at the little girl while her voice is sarcastic to someone.
“While arguing that this is really the last time and that I will definitely try to change it myself… What happened in the end?”
She raises her eyes sharply and sends hatred to Miru.
“……”
However, despite such fierce criticism, Miru just shook her head and continued to remain silent.
“I was twisted again by your failure… Although there is still one month left, thanks to your clumsy plans, your fate has been moved forward.”
After hearing that, Miru, who had been just listening to her swear words for a while, slowly raised her head and opened her mouth carefully.
“Then how long do you have left…?”
Morione sighed deeply and muttered as the powerless voice that had lost her confidence resounded through the temple quietly.
“one week…”
Years that have become ephemeral

Now Harold really didn’t have time.“Well, if you have a chance, if you want to block it, block it.”
He spoke in a light tone as if he didn’t care much and turned his head away.
‘I can’t stop it anyway…’
In order not to be heard by Miru, Morione mumbled inwardly and continued what she had to say.
‘It’s not long now.’
Morione, who was filled with anticipation in her heart, blooms a smile on the inside, recalling the anxiety and joy that lies ahead.
‘It makes you feel like you can have someone with a different fate by your side, right?’
