It's the first time I've seen Farga-sama since Mialak, who stopped by on Hinomoto's way back.

Other than that, I have come into contact with him in the form of letters, but it feels like the first time in a long time that I have been able to have a face-to-face conversation with Falga-sama.

Early in the morning, I go to the castle alone.

Nea wanted to follow me, but I was the only one who was called, so I had to stay home this time.

 

I've never seen a dragon other than a wyvern, so I'm excited."

"Please don't be too rude, okay?"

"I know, he's a benefactor to us."

 

After meeting up with my senior, Kazuki, in the castle, I head to the hall where Lloyd and the others are preparing to communicate.

Senpai seems to be as energetic as yesterday, but Kazuki is somewhat unwell.

…… After all, he seems to be worried.

 

"Kazuki, are you okay?"

"Hmm? Oh, yes. It's okay. …… I was indebted to Falga. yes, I have to say thank you."

 

Hahaha, Kazuki has a dry smile that he can't hide anymore.

I turn to him and turn to him.

 

"Senpai, Kazuki, it's not okay no matter how you look at it......"

"Oh, his inability to lie, combined with his poor spirits, is painful to watch."

"Senior, can't you do something about it?"

"Heh, I'm good at making people smile, but I don't have the ability to lead young people who are in trouble."

"Why are you bragging ......?" You're a senior, aren't you?"

 

I'm being reckless.

However, the senior shows a dexterous smile while hiding his voice.

 

"Usato-kun, have I ever shown you that I look like a senior?"

"So why bragging about it...... No, no, it's just a relationship of ......."

 

…… That!?

I don't know, ......!?

There have been many times when he has shown me that he can be relied on, but I don't remember him doing anything that was typical of my seniors.

 

"Usato, what are you talking about with your senpai?"

"Kazuki, it looks like your senpai wasn't your senpai to us."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

 

Kazuki looks troubled.

The senior points to himself with his thumb with a smile on his face.

 

"It's okay to treat me like I'm the same age, right?"

"Okay, Inugami."

"Aren't you being too frank!? Rather, club activity mate!?"

 

No, even if you don't look like a senior, a senior is a senior, so I will continue to call him a senior.

While exchanging such conversations, we arrive at the hall.

I let the guard Mr./Ms. who was standing in front of the door let me through, and there was already Lloyd, Mr./Ms. Welsey, and Leona waiting in Mr./Ms. hall.

 

"Oh, you're here."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come here."

 

Prompted by Mr./Ms., we move to the front of the hall.

Then, in one part of the hall, there was a fountain that had not been installed before.

The sole, which is made in the form of an extension to the wall, is made so that water is constantly circulating.

 

"It's still a work in progress, but this is the magic tool to communicate with Master Farga in Miarak."

"Wow, this is it...... It looks like a normal fountain...... but it doesn't."

"It's like a stylish interior......

 

When I looked into the fountain while listening to Mr./Ms.'s explanation, I saw our faces reflected.

It's always in the hall where Lloyd is, but it's amazing that it's not so unnatural.

 

"You can connect them with Mr./Ms.'s armor, right?"

"Ah, compared to the armor you have, my spear is more connected to Master Falga."

 

Mr./Ms. Leona turns the pendant into a spear with light.

After keeping an eye on Mr./Ms., she inserts it into a hollow in the fountain.

 

"After that, if Master Falga uses magic, we should be able to connect."

"I see......

 

It's like a key, isn't it?

It's amazing that this whole fountain is like a magic tool.

 

"It was at the suggestion of Master Falga that we decided to set up an opportunity to speak."

 

Lloyd glanced at the fountain and called out to us standing around it.

 

"To make sure, I once communicated with Faluga-sama through water, but it should work without any abnormalities, and at that time, I told you in advance about the current situation with the Demon King's army, so I should have a general understanding of the situation."

"Yes""

 

Does that mean that you have already communicated what you need to talk about from Mr. Lloyd?

Does that mean that Farga-sama has a story to tell us?

If there is a possibility, it is scrolling and ...... me?

 

"Magic, I'm going to activate it."

 

When I look at the fountain in Mr./Ms.'s voice, I can see ripples on the surface of the water.

The shaking ripples immediately splash and rise into the air as if defying gravity, shaping their shape.

Another scene is reflected in the water, which has changed into a smooth shape like a mirror.

 

"——— connected?"

 

In the mirror was a blue dragon with large wings and a body, Falga, and a woman who was peering curiously at him near the mirror -- Norn, the queen of Miarak.

He takes the form of a dragon that we can imagine, and he turns his clear eyes to us through the mirror.

 

"It's been a while, Usato."

"Yes, Falga-sama, it's been a long time since I've seen you, Norn-sama."

"Yes, I hope you're doing well."

 

He bows his head and greets Farga and Norn.

He shifts his gaze from me to Senpai and Kazuki next to him.

 

"Suzune, Kazuki, this is the first time I've seen you in this form."

"Yes!"

"Thank you for giving us armor in the last battle...... Thank you very much for giving me ...... sword!"

"Hmm...... hmm?"

 

Senior, don't you want to embarrass Mr. Farga right away......!

Personally, I'm sure he's just putting his gratitude into words.

 

"I've already heard the story from King Lloyd and Leona."

「…… Yes."

"Well, he's back alive, and even though he's lost most of his power, he's still a powerful Demon Lord. The fact that you survived and won against such an opponent with five bodies is nothing less than your undeniable ability.'

 

Receive pure compliments.

 

"Usato, Suzune, and Kazuki, do you have the armor I gave you now?"

「? …… Yes, I have, but ......"

"Now, hold it up in front of the mirror, and read the record engraved on the gauntlet."

 

As Farga-sama told us, we unfold each of the armors that Farga-sama gave us and hold them up in front of the mirror.

Then, a magical pattern appeared in Mistress Farga's eyes, and it was directed at the two gauntlets and the sword.

 

"Usato...... You're really a crazy person.'

"Yes......."

 

I'm supposed to have read the memories of the three of us, so why am I the only one?

The first thing you say is a mess.

I'm aware of it, but when I'm told it to my face, I feel uncomfortable.

 

"Don't be so depressed, I complimented you, didn't you?"

"I don't feel like I'm being complimented......

"The resurrection of Kannagi, the correction of dark wizards, the possibility of parallel worlds, and ...... Fight him. It was all so bizarre that I almost burst out laughing.'

 

I feel like Falga-sama is laughing out loud and that's quite a bit.

The Norn-sama who is casually beside him is also drinking and wrestling, "It's still the same."

 

"But I don't know that Kannagi was sealed in those ruins, perhaps to prepare against the weakened Demon King and other threats...... He wouldn't have imagined that something would happen to the sword that sealed Kannagi.'

「…… After all, Mr./Ms. Nagi's behavior was unexpected, wasn't it?"

 

While sealed, the ego sprouted in the sword of the hero.

It was at this time that he was going to make me a light wizard to kill the Demon Lord.

In the end, it was combined with Mr./Ms.'s soul, but it was really hard until then.

 

"Either way, it's good for us that Kannagi has awakened from the seal, because he's so strong. It should also be a deterrent to the current Demon Lord.'

 

I don't ...... what a strong call is.

I wonder what Nagi's Mr./Ms. would look like if he heard this......

 

"From the memory of your gauntlet, I know how many words you spewed out in battle, and I thought I would say at least one of the small words if I chose to take such a course lightly...... It doesn't seem to be the case.'

「…… Yes."

"I guess that's one of the possibilities for you to walk."

 

I thought they would say something, but it seems to be different.

Possibly, ?

Maybe there's a "what if" world where I choose to go back to my original world.

There seems to be a world where I lost my seniors and Kazuki, and it's hard to say that it's impossible.

 

"It's time for me to take the stage."

"I didn't expect it to be ...... front stage."

"From now on, I need someone to keep an eye on the Demon King, and I think it's time for me to reveal my identity as the Divine Dragon Falga, not as a bystander."

 

Falga, who has been watching over Mialak in the shadows, reveals her true identity...... Is that what you mean?

 

『…… There are some disturbing movements, so it's better to be cautious.'

"Are you ...... careful?"

『…… No, I don't have to worry about it now. It's more than that. I have an important story to tell.'

 

Mistress Falga looks down at us again.

 

"In the not-too-distant future, there will be an opportunity for representatives of each kingdom to gather to discuss the future of the Demon Tribe, and of course the Demon King will also be there."

「「「!」」」

 

We are surprised by Falga's words.

It seems that it is almost decided, judging from the fact that Lloyd and the others are not surprised, but are you going to tell that Demon King to come all the way from the Demon King Domain?

 

"We don't have an exact date yet, but we can't avoid talks with representatives of each country. That's all I need to know now.'

「……」

 

Silently nod your head.

If we were to do such an important thing in the future, where would the venue be?

Could it be Luxvis again?

No, it's not dangerous to bring the demon king himself to that place where the children gather.

 

"Now, let's move on to the next story."

 

As I was thinking about it, it seemed that Mr. Farga would move on to the next story.

When he regains his mind and tries to be a listener, Falga-sama lowers his gaze at an angle and activates his magic.

What appeared with the light was a sheet of paper with a golden glow -- a scroll.

 

"It's about the scroll you received from the Demon Lord."

「…… Yes."

"If I just say the bottom line, it works fine."

"Oh, really?"

 

At the sound of Kazuki's voice, Falga-sama nodded.

 

"Currently, this scroll is engraved with the coordinates of the "world" and "time" engraved on the body of the previous hero, Hisago. If you activate it at this point, you will be able to return to your original world, but you will be transported to the time when Hisago would have been summoned."

"Then it doesn't make sense, ......?"

 

From Mr./Ms.'s words, he seems to have come from a time when war was commonplace.

Besides, when he was summoned, he was covered in bloody armor, so there could be a line in the Warring States period.

 

"All you have to do is initialize the information engraved on this scroll and inscribe new information about your world."

"Is it that easy?"

"It's not difficult to do, it's probably one of the easiest ones...... Here's the problem.''

 

If you just want to inscribe information about our world into a scroll, it won't be that difficult, right?

 

"——— have a limited amount of time to scroll through the information of your world."

「…… Huh?"

 

Kazuki's stunned voice echoes in disgust.

My seniors and I look at Farga-sama with wide eyes, wondering what is going on, but he looks down sadly as he weaves his words.

 

"If I were to compare the world's information...... it would be a smell. From the moment you come to this world, the coordinates and time of the other world that have been engraved on your body will be filled with the "smell" of this world as you spend time in this world.

「…… How much time do you have left?"

"About three months, and after more than that, you will lose the opportunity to return to your original world for the rest of your life. You can also keep the coordinates of your world engraved on the scroll...... Anyway, there are many parts of the Hero Summoning Ceremony that I don't know. If you want to engrave information, it is preferable to do it on the spot when you return.

 

——— to be honest, this story doesn't really matter to me.

My heart is shaking, but it's not an easy decision I've made to overturn what I've already made.

But-,

 

"Kazuki ......"

 

When I saw the conflicted expression on his face next to me, I didn't know what to say.

Three months.

The specific amount of time to force him to make a decision was enough to push him into a corner.

__________________________________________________

The condition for receiving or stealing the scroll from the Demon Lord and returning to the original world is within about a year of transfer.

 

…… Looking at it again, it was ridiculously difficult.

If you kill the Demon Lord, you won't be able to get the scrolls.
