“Why? Aria?”
“That, that… that… that…”
As she tilted her head and asked a question, Arya, who had been hesitant, offered something to me and slowly opened her mouth.
“Hey, this. Accept it…”
“…..?”
I looked for something, and saw a familiar-looking cloth in her hand.
No matter how you look at it, it looked exactly the same as the handkerchief she gave her about a year ago.
It’s a fairly improvised shape, so the surface is rough, except for the crooked silver cat in the middle.
Besides, when I was looking at the shape, Arya’s hand full of scars came into my sight.
Judging by the shape of the wound, I thought it was because I was knitting too hastily.
“Maybe… did you make it in a hurry right now?”
When I asked if she wanted to go, she nodded her head with a pale face.
“why?”
“Uh, that’s…”
When asked the reason with a pure question, Aria put out her handkerchief and began to look anxious.
“Ka, I heard everything from Kania unnie…”
“……..”
“Brother. Am I really following that strategy? Really…?”
“…yes.”
I didn’t want to tell a lie, so I quietly nodded, and Arya made a face that looked like she was about to cry.
“Hey, hey… I’ve just cleared up the misunderstanding.”
“……..”
“Now can I be nice to you…?”
Her slender arms holding the handkerchief were trembling violently.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come back.”
Saying that and stroking her hair, Arya, who looked up at me with terrified eyes, opened her mouth with a trembling voice.
“Brother… I, take me too…”
“no way.”
That alone is unacceptable.
you’re never alone aria.
“Ugh, then…”
Predicting my reaction, she quietly bit her lips, and then started trying to hold the handkerchief she was holding in my hand.
“Hey, take this…”
“……..”
“Oh, so that I can know the status of your brother…”
Starlight was leaking out of the handkerchief.
Can you tell me the status?
Could it be that all the mana engraved on the handkerchief was connected to me?
“…uh?”
With that thought in mind, when I took out the handkerchief I had originally, Aria’s eyes turned round.
“Oh, that… didn’t you throw it away?”
After a while, she helplessly dropped the improvised handkerchief she was holding in her hand and asked me with a blank expression on her face.
“Why am I throwing this away?”
To her like that, I answered by showing a beautiful and colorful handkerchief unlike when I first received it.
“You must cherish it for the rest of your life.”
A silver cat engraved by Arya, a black cat engraved by Kania, a red dog engraved by Irina, and a subtle moon engraved by Serena.
A golden canary engraved by Clana. A dove with a stupid expression engraved by Perloche.
And even the red ruby that the ruby recently put in as a decoration.
This handkerchief, in which all the colors are in perfect harmony, is my treasure number 1 that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
“Oh, brother aah…”
Aria looks at the treasure with tears in her eyes, and finally falls down crying again.
“I, I… always like a fool… The brother I wanted… He was always by my side…”
After stroking her back without a word, I immediately kissed her on the forehead and got up.
“I’ll go, Aria.”
“Ah, uh…”
Then, Aria got up from her seat at the same time.
“You stay here. I’ll be back soon.”
“……..”
I sat her down quietly, and immediately turned back with a smile.
“Let’s go and have a picnic together.”
“……..”
“Eat sandwiches too.”
After saying that and smiling softly, a low voice came back from behind.
“Really… you’ll be back soon, right?”
“I’ll promise.”
It’s a promise I made with my brother, so I must keep it.
“Oppa… Should I be careful…?”
“haha.”
“I’m not going to let it go, Young Master. No matter how much the strategy is… you have to be careful though.”
With that thought in mind, I left the mansion with Kania.
“…I’ll keep that in mind.”
Now it was time to move towards the end.
.
.
.
.
.
A few days after that, quite busy days went by.
“This is a warrior’s armor…”
“I’d like to try it on…”
“Come on, put it away. I feel bad for some reason.”
Serena, who was struggling to analyze the warrior’s weapon, Isolet, who looked at me wearing the weapon with a secretly envious look, and Ruby who pulled back with a terrified expression on her face without realizing it.
“Hello nice to meet you!”
“…is it going right?”
“I don’t know!”
Like being healed of the soul by Perloche, who is still in the process of merging two personalities.
“Bee…”
“”……..””

Every morning, when Miho, who is nursing Glare, eats the fox beads as much as he can, he wonders why he feels like he is living in all directions.
“Fray. Welcome. It’s time to check operations.”
“That… Hundreds of times already…”
“Come on.”
“…yes.”
Serena, who was very nervous, was called dozens of times a day and tried to simulate the operation together.
– Kugwagwagwang!!!
“What… I wore one, and I got really strong.”
“Is that also a warrior’s weapon…”
“Kicking…”
In order to get used to the warrior’s weapon, Irina, Ruby, and Lulu fight 3 on 1 through hell training.
“Did you lose all your strength? You did well.”
“Young Master. I’ve heated the bath water. Let’s go.”
“…churup.”
And after that, doing something masquerading as a stamina boost all night long…
Anyway, it was a pretty busy day.
– Shrek, sheck…
“Young Master, what are you doing?”
And one of the most memorable of those days.
“Oh, I’m writing a letter.”
“…a letter?”
It was to write a letter to everyone who had been with me until now.
“What are you using…?”
“Yeah, just… this and that. Miscellaneous stories I wanted to tell.”
At first glance, this may seem like an insignificant action, but to me it has a significant meaning.
It was also one of the top 10 things on my bucket list.
If possible, I would like to meet each person in person to talk and unpack the canvas, but I have no time right now, so I can’t help but be satisfied with sending a letter.
However, if you go, you should definitely share an open story with everyone.
“Shareholder, shareholder, master.”
So, when the letter I wrote arrived at the mailbox in front of everyone’s house.
“It’s floating, it’s floating, it’s trembling…”
On the hill near the mansion, I was facing each other with Lulu wearing the warrior’s armor.
“””……..”””””
And unlike usual, the heroines who kept their mouths shut and watched us with an anxious expression.
“Hey, the lies have increased. Is this a surprise party? Are you trying to make fun of me?”
“…ha.”
“…sin, sorry.”
After hearing about the operation only today, Miho breaks the silence without noticing, and everyone’s gloomy eyes are on her without mercy.
“Ugh…”
Thanks to that, Miho started to wiggle his fingers and look at me with an anxious expression.
“…Then, let’s begin.”
I smiled at him and then quietly raised the sword I was holding in my hand.
“master…”
Then, with a still very nervous expression, Lulu hugged me.
“Keep in mind, Frey. Once you’re in spirit form…”
“…Please take care of yourself.”
Also, Serena, who started the final briefing with a nervous expression on her face, and Ruby, who holds hands with her and hides her fluttering feelings, leaves a congratulatory message to me.
“”……..””
And, the rest of the heroines still holding their breath and looking at Lulu without even speaking a word.
“…Young Master, do your best.”
As I smiled as I looked at them in my eyes, I gave Kania’s words a signal that echoed in the silence and gave me strength.
– Sureung…!
“ah…”
Lulu felt a cold blade piercing his back and his eyes began to shake.
“…cool.”
“……..”
She, like that, begins to stare blankly at me, who is shaking and staggering in the same way.
“…Ehehehe.”
Then, Lulu started licking my cheeks with a slightly sleepy expression.
– Whoops…
The next moment, Lulu and I both knelt on the floor at the same time.
– Jer…
The sword that passed through Lulu’s back, pierced my stomach, and came out again was glistening in the sunlight.
“”……..””
So, time passed.
“master…”
At that time, as the blood in my body drained out without mercy, chills all over my body and I was slowly losing my mind, Lulu, who was shivering and draining blood from her mouth, hugged me and whispered in a low voice.
“I trust my master…”
As soon as those words were finished, Lulu began to turn into grains of light.
“…me too.”
Realizing that my body was also starting to become a grain of light, I looked at Lulu and everyone who was disappearing and left a message in a low voice.
“…I trust you guys.”
the moment the words are finished.
– Grip support support…!!!
A huge pillar of starlight began to cover the whole hill.
– Coo!!!
Finally, as the heroines who had been watching us withdrew one by one at the end of that relentless destructive power, Lulu and I quietly closed our eyes.
– Kugwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!
and.
Thus, the Hero and the Demon King fell in vain.
.
.
.
.

several hours after that.
“Really… I did.”
“…..Ugh.”
“Wait, will you be okay…?”
As the pillars of light that swept over the hill completely dispersed, the heroines who had retreated began to gather with a disgusted expression on their faces.
“Don’t worry, everyone. The operation is perfect.”
Among them, Serena still smiles while holding hands with Ruby.
“Now we just have to wait for Frey’s signal, right?”
“Yes…”
“So, let’s go back now. We have to prepare everything so that we can respond at any time.”
“That’s right.”
After a while, the heroines who quietly nodded at her words began to follow Serena to their home on the shore.
“Se, Serena-sama. May I know when you will be contacted?”
“Well…? My guess, at least within a week.”
“Ha. Frey will contact you in a day or so.”
“…Would you like to place a bet?”
“Is it a game? It’s good. I’ll accept whatever you want.”
And, their waiting began.
day.
“…Umm. Frey you idiot. You’re late.”
“Look. Did I say one day is unreasonable?”
“But I’ll be back in two days.”
Two days.
“…Umm.”
“Look. It’s only been a week?”
“Say, I’ll bet again in three days.”
three days.
“Did you lose again? Whoops…”
“Ugh…”
four days.
“……..”
“…I think I’m going crazy because I’m slowly worried about Frey.”
“It’s okay, everyone. We’ll be in touch in about a week.”
So, more and more slowly than usual, time passed.
“”……..””
The long-awaited week that came like this.
“Hey, that’s weird…? Hey, I can’t do this…?”
It was at that point that the heroines who were waiting for something felt strange.
“Hey, in a week… I should call you…?”
Serena, who had been stroking her tummy while listening to prenatal music all day, got up from her seat with a look of bewilderment unlike hers when the hand of the clock pointed to the right time.
“””……..””””
“…ah.”
Then, she made eye contact with the heroines who sat around the desk all day and watched her reaction with breath.
“Haha, ha… Well, there must be a variable that I didn’t think of. I’ll probably have to redo the calculation.”
She looked at the heroines with pale eyes for a moment, and then continued her conversation with a relaxed smile.
“That, and just in case you don’t know. Maybe you’ll get a call right away.”
“…you’re not coming. Contact me.”
“I’ll be here in a week at least. Boo, sure.”
So, time began to flow again.
“Ah, it seems that there is a variable… Well, it’s still within the expected range. Frey will definitely solve it…”
this week.
“Is it strange? Irina-san. Come here for a moment. I need to review some formulas…”
Third week.
“Fray…? Why aren’t you coming…?”
and one month.
“Why……? Why…? Why…?”
Serena’s smile, which had never lost her composure even by force, had completely disappeared, and by the time she shook her head for the first time.
– Smart…!
– Ding dong! Ding Dong!
Laughter and conversation had long since disappeared from the hut on the shore, where the number of people who had received Frey’s letter had increased.
Of course, Frey never returned.
– Dang…♪Dang…♪
Time passed, and even the moment the bells rang everywhere announcing that the sun had changed.
And only then did the heroines become aware to some extent of the terrible fact that they had been denying and denying.
“””……..””””
The place they belong to is not a banal fairy tale world.
“Did Frey… lost?”
In a world revived with sunlight and vitality, the darkest story was unfolding before them.
