The battle was now over and everyone was returning.
A big event had ended, and it looked like we were breaking up as a result.
It was somehow lonely.
“Alright.”
As I pondered such things, the lumbering of the woods was finished.
In front of my eyes was a clean, stretched-out ground.
The trees that were pulled out from their roots were neatly lined up using Earth Magic.
I had done a nice job if I say so myself.
“Now then, Aisha is......hm.”
When I turned, I could see Ruijerd and Norn walking towards me, just at the right time.
“Ah, Nii-san.”
“Norn! You’ve come at just the right time. Won’t you tell Aisha that the lumbering has been finished?”
“Yes, I understand.”
Norn turned on her heels and quickly ran towards the village.
Ruijerd who was left behind was now walking up to me.
“Rudeus.”
“Ruijerd-san.”
“Sorry. I’ve burdened you with various things.”
“You’ve promised that you wouldn’t say that right? Dad.”
“I don’t remember making such a promise.”
“Right.”
Ruijerd was engaged in the reconstruction of the Supard village.
After that, he would probably come and go from our office, or be placed as the Biheiril Kingdom’s negotiator.
Norn was clinging to Ruijerd.
She too, until this village had finished rebuilding, intended to help Ruijerd.
“After the village’s completion, please do visit our house in Sharia.”
“Yeah, even I want to see your children.”
“They’re super cute.”
“Your kids are just like that.”
Ruijerd laughed and then eyed me.
His height hadn’t changed very much.
“.....You became really strong, didn’t you? I never would have thought that you would become one of the Seven Great World Powers.”
“If it’s the you right now then even you can become one, Ruijerd-san. If it’s you, I would be done in by just one punch, in just one punch.”
“Don’t joke around.”
“But I’m certain that I didn’t become one only on my power alone.”
“That power might be yours as well.”
“I wonder.”
“..........”
Ruijerd looked at me a little, gave out a little laugh, removed the pendant hanging from his neck, and held it out towards me.
It was Roxy’s pendant.
“I’ll return this back to you now.”
“But, this is.....”
“You should hold onto this after all.”
The pendant I gave to Ruijerd when we first parted.
Roxy’s pendant.
Unaware, this pendant had become my mark.
The pendant which was my motive for setting out into the world.
“I understand.”
I accepted that pendant.
Before, when I handed him this pendant, it was over a trivial matter.
When we parted, I never intended for him to give it back to me. I hoped that he would hold onto it.
Or perhaps I wanted to have a link with him.
But he had returned it now.
Because we were already brethren.
Because we won’t be parting for quite some time now.
“Ruijerd-san, Please take care of me from now on.”
“Yeah. Though I might lack the ability.”
“We’ll just have to compensate for each other’s mistakes.”
“Pfft, that’s right.”
I laughed and Ruijerd too smiled.
