In the first place, it was weird to be carefree even while goblins come attacking.
“No. That time, we didn’t have such leisure.”(renji)
I remembered the journey which was painful, agonizing and made me cry so many times.
Now, it only feels nostalgic—–it has become a precious memory of mine.
“That makes me relieved.”(elf)
“Relieved?”(renji)
When I questioned, this time the Elf shrugged his shoulders.
“If you said that you travelled with this mood and had killed the Demon God…….I would have been at a loss for words.”
“Well, that’s true.”
At that time, we were at our limits every day. We had never done such journeys, we weren’t even used to walking for long times.
After being summoned to this world, we were trained by the Knight Orders and were entrusted with the hopes and expectations of everyone.
“But, it’s fine now.”(renji)
“Is that how it is?”(elf)
“To laugh happily, for such a world, we had worked so hard after all.”
After saying, even I felt that it was a foolish line to say. If my former comrades were here, they’d all say that it doesn’t suit me saying that at all. I realise that.
I know that there are still many that still cannot laugh.
There are too many orphans in this world. Too many who have lost their loved ones. We saved the world but there are still people that have not been saved yet. But still.
“—–I see.”(elf)
[umu. That’s right.]
On Ermenhilde’s words, I started laughing.
Yeah, that’s right. That’s exactly how it is.
Right now, at this moment, finally, I felt that it was great that I came to Magic City. I was glad to have met Souichi and others. I felt that from the bottom of my heart.
