Chapter 95 (2/2)

To Kuon who crossed her arrinned, I did a wry smile

「Including the new co Hero Yashi+ro Yuu's travels would still continue on ……I guess that's how it should be?」

Stopping his hand that was playing the lute, Jean did a sh

Wishi+ng for the happiness of the friend that was on the shi+p that had already gone so far that it had becohed

At his back, the presence of a person grew near

「Kaka It certainly does look to be a fairly cheerful journey, that path that Yashi+ro is on」

She had a s about her, but she was definitely a young lady that could be called a little girl

Deep cri her green silver hair that was long enough that it touched the ground up, that little girl was a person that Jean, no, that Yuu also knew

The one that stood nearby Jean, as sitting on the roof of a tall building looking like he was gazing at the sea, was the little girl that was called 『The Witch of Tied in appearance since a thousand years ago, Norn

「I have been waiting for you, 『Witch of Time』-sama」

Norn returned with a smile to Jean who had only took a peek and turned only his eyes towards her

「Kaka, I have cast aside that name as well The current me is simply Norn」

That way of speaking that didn't match her childish appearance was her nor was out of place within it To begin with, those clothes that the young lady that was standing beside hireatly differed from what she normally wore

「Sierated formal dress」

Those clothes were neither an Elf outfit, nor her outfit as the Witch of Time

Winding a htweight equipment that had a dull red shi+ne

A large sword that easily surpassed that s on her waist

Lightweight equip out here and there, and a dull red ht equip ever could

That appearance of her wearing that ar more majestic

She had an appearance as if she were the small hero that had saved the world

And then, in actuality, that appearance was her original appearance

Saving this world, it was the appearance of the First Hero that brought about peace to the world

「Kaka Tis just the helmet and armored appearance of a senile old fool」

Jean

「『The First Hero』, 『The Witch of Ti upon reciting your lifeti to accomplish?」

Jean stood up While wryly save the illusion that er than hi that he couldn't help but ask about

「……Coratitude to you

Allow ive youto e it” only to you」

Self-important no matter when or where And then, no matter who prostrated before her, without a shy face nor trying to hide her ambition, she continued

「The 『Organization』……No, I guess it's the Church right now

How the Church isbehind the scenes, even you know about it, do you not?」

「Yes I have heard that Yuu's assassination is also one of those maneuvers」

Norn laughed scornfully at Jean's words

「Kaka Such a thing, tis but the te ……The problem, is its relationshi+p with the Luxeria royal family」

That was so that even Jean didn't know about

Norn laughed with a Kaka at the surprised Jean

「At present, the one at the furthest depths that cannot be seen is the Luxeria royal fa, even I do not know I do not know, but I cannot help but feel unease In order to ascertain that, I shall have you go to the Luxeria royal fah with no objection if you say that you wish to sing about the current generation of Heroes or the like」

Jean did a sinally, it was for that reason that he went around to various countries and came to this land after all

More importantly, what Jean wanted to hear was Norn's behavioral principle

「Kaka, you little dilettante ……Tis but a trivial matter, you know? This world had overcoe of peace ……Those people that threaten that, I cannot tolerate them tis all」

Her deep crimson eyes looked into the far, far distance

「Yashi+ro-san」

「Oh? So it's you, Bernadette」

Not having ht her the practice method that I usually do in my spare time since it could be done within a roo down like mud on top of the hammock in her room, alone and went up to the shi+p's deck Bernadette was on the deck

The sun had sunk before I knew it, and the setting sun turned the sea red

And then, Bernadette, as on the deck beforesun, and I saw an expression that was different from normal

「Where's Kuon-san?」

「Right now, she's within her drea from muscle pains tomorrow」

To h

Putting azed at the ocean

The gentle sea breeze and the sounds of the wavelets felt good

Maybe because Bernadette as beside ht so, she slowly closed her eyes

「Ah…………」

I thought that her gesture was, pure and beautiful

But, I wasn't fascinated by Bernadette's gesture for so rude

「? ……Is so?」

Seeingat her, Bernadette tilted her head

…………She resembled her

She really reseesture, resembled her's

「Although it was on an airshi+p ……Olivia also, had a habit of closing her eyes when she was feeling the wind ………That's why, I thought you resembled her」

I was able to understand, although it was sudden, why Jean said that she resembled her

It wasn't about the external features like the chest or physique

How she was honest with herself without any two-facedness……It was in that part that she resembled her

「Sorry about saying that so suddenly This kind of thing is……」

When I apologized to Bernadette who see, she shook her head and said 「That's not it at all」

「I was thinking that I wanted to hear about it About three years ago, about the journey that Yashi+ro-san and Saint-saht about, about what you fought ……If you don't mind, please let me listen to it」

Staring at , she powerfully looked at me

「……It'll probably bethan the other day, you know?」

「Fufun Yashi+ro-san, if you start crying, I can go ”there, there” again for you, you know?」

「Y, you little……Hmph! I'll let you hear a sentimental, spoken fondly of story that will ar from the mouth」

Retaliating to her way of speaking that made fun of me with frivolous talk, I looked up at the sky that turned into the night sky, and started talking about things one by one

「Olivia, she was a girl that like to roll things around when she ate and would say things that weren't very princess-like」

While looking up at the redin the sky, I sent my heart out
