Rei yahile rubbing his neck, he then stands up and stretches

He looks around and then perforht exercise

「Today is the last day… huh」

Rei goes out to the back yard and mutters sadly

「Still, how on Earth is it so deep…?」

Rei looks down the hole and looks at the bottom, but all he sees is darkness

He picks up a stone and throws it down the hole to measure the depth

If I' a stone down could measure the depth

Rei stood up while thinking so and prayed silently towards the hole

Teacher… Please rest peacefully…

Yesterday, the dragon which replaced me reduced the maddened Lelia to ash

「Thank you very much」

I wanted a little more, but that luxury is not possible

「Also, Ani's birthday present」

Ari quickly returns to the living rooer rucksack

When Rei received it, he wanted to check the contents immediately because the rucksack was quite heavy, but Ari stops him
