2 days later.
In front of Kyle’s house.
“Well then, farewell Kyle-chan. Don’t only eat fish and meat, okay? Make sure to eat vegetables, too.”
“Yeah yeah, I got it.”
Kyle, who had just finished packing, now had to deal with a sobbing Seraiya.
“Don’t worry, I will be with him.”
Lize, who had also finished packing, comforted Seraiya.
“Yes yes. Lize-chan. Take care of Kyle-chan, please.”
Seraiya was wiping away her tears with a handkerchief.
Kyle was tired of her crying over and over, so he was getting ready to leave.
“I’m going.”
“Try to visit, okay? Good luck.”
Seraiya blew her nose while waving goodbye.
“Do your best Kyle. And take care of your friends.”
“Yeah, I know. Wait. Huh? You were here dad?”
Lowell, Kyle’s father, was standing next to Seraiya.
“I came back the day before yesterday. I was at home all day yesterday, too…”
“I…I didn’t notice…”
Kyle remembered that there was food prepared even when Lize wasn’t home the other day.
“Honey, don’t you think it’s too early for him to go out on a journey?”
“I know you’re worried. But he’s our kid.”
“Well…. I suppose… He is our child. What will we do if we don’t trust him, right? I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, Seraiya.”
“I’m going. Rest well, you two.”
Kyle’s parents were slowly getting carried away into their own world. The last thing Kyle wanted to see was a love scene between his parents.
“We’re leaving~”
Lize stood beside Kyle. She waved to everybody.
“Did you tell your family?”
“Yeah, I told my aunt’s family and visited my parents’ graves.”
“Did you pack everything?”
“I’m all set. It’s much easier than when I stayed in the mountains for a month.”
“I remember… I still think you should stay home, you know…”
“Too late. You can’t stop me now.”
Lize had a huge smile on her face and Kyle knew that it was useless to try to make her stay, so he just let out a big sigh and gave up.
Seran and Ulza were already waiting at the meeting place.
“I can’t believe a beautiful lady like you is going to be joining our team!!”
“I’m just watching! I have no recollection of being in your team! I still don’t understand why I’m going with you guys….”
Ulza was clearly depressed about this, but Seran was extremely happy.
“Going on a trip with Kyle alone is depressing…and Lize doesn’t make me feel any better, either…”
“You don’t listen to people, do you…”
Ulza ma.s.saged her temples as if she was having a migraine.
“Ulza-san, it’s best if you just ignore him.”
“Yeah, it’s better if you just pretend he’s not there.”
Lize and Kyle were used to handling him.
“What did Master say?”
Kyle asked Seran.
“What? Oh. The usual. In fact, she was like, “What are you still doing here? Hurry up and go!””
Kyle let out a dry laugh. It’s what he expected Master to say.
“Let’s go.”
Kyle called out to everyone.
Seran and Lize looked eager to go, but Ulza seemed like she wanted to relax for a few more days here.
“Wait. The East Gate is this way.”
Lize called out to Kyle, who had started to walk.
They had originally planned to go to Mallad first, which was east of Rimaze, but Kyle was heading to the North Gate.
“No, we’re going this way. I’m changing the first destination. I had planned to go to the capital first to buy some things, but there’s no need for that anymore..”
“What were you going to buy?”
