There was so Can the crane move?”
”Ah, it can”
”Then, pull them up”
”Is that okay?”
”Nn I'll think of so, so please be prepared to act when the time comes”
”Understood”
After Felli said this, Naruki began issuing orders
Seeing theain spread Psychokinesis flakes around the roa, and the cableto wind upwards The roaainst the buffer bar, and the roof of the bus could already be seen
Now
Felli didn't say it
But, it happened anyways
The Psychokinesis flakes positioned everywhere around the roaht for open the bus This was a type of usage of Psychokinesisit out
”Wait!”
Naruki didn't knohat to say at Felli's sudden destructive actions
”What are you doing!?”
”Please be quiet and watch fro that you don't understand”
”How could”
Felli just ignored Naruki anted to say so, and looked at the bus
The bus in which a hole had been opened twisted because of its oeight, and the roof seemed as if it had opened up, essentially torn off The cable coravity, and the roof see of ith the hole continuously spreading wider
After this, solike substance
This was very si that Claribel had used recently on the battlefield
Passing through this blackjumped out
It was a person
One of the three
A younger person ju the other two At the saer person landed, he quickly released the two people, taking up his weapon
”Uhat, what, what the hell!”
One of the two people released, probably the driver, yelled out
”Shut up!”
Afterwards, the other person got angry
The proble person
”No way”
Naruki forgot to continue giving orders
The blackbus moved as if it had a life of its own, and then for person
In the blackperson [3]
The young person didn't say a word, just flowing Kei into the weapon in his hand Though it seemed like a knife that was a bit overdecorated, after his dense Kei was flowed into it, it becaeous Dite
”Go, beat theirl shouted
The City Police led by Naruki basically stood blankly watching the two people The reason wasn't because of the extreiven off by the man with the blackthe blade
”Lay!”
The girl shouted at the young person
Theinside Felli's heart snapped
It broke with a crisp sound
After that, though Naruki looked at her with a strange gaze, Felli pretended not to knohat it meant
◇
Nina who hurried to a roo Naruki's report
”And then?”
After organizing her thinking for a long time, Nina finally said this
”What happened in the end?”
”Eh”
Everyone stared while listening to the auous response
'Everyone' included Felli and Naruki, along with Nina, and also Sharnid, Dalshena, Harley, Claribel, Meishen, and Mifi
Everyone was occupying an interrogation roo person
”Well, after being separated from everyone for about half a year, I left Grendan”
The young person spoke a bit weakly, as if he werewas Layfon
”We basically didn't run into filthreconstructed, and manpoas very sufficient, so I cao”
”And then what, ere you so slow?”
Nina asked as the representative of those present
”I heard that the number of filth monsters in the world had decreased, so the speed of the roa buses increased quite a bit If you went from Grendan to Zuellni, it wouldn't even need a month It's already been two months since Zuellni cahed deeply
Why was it like this? It see about that question
But, his attitude didn't show the slightest bit of answering
Bang!
Hearing the sound of the cheap table being kicked, Layfon raised his head
His vision focused on so
It was Felli
”Tell us all of it”
”Okay”
Layfon straightened his posture in ato speak
”Well In the first city I arrived at after leaving Grendan, when I was preparing to packto ht by surprise the sound of commotion came from outside, and then I opened the door”
What had charged in seeirl's naoes by Arute”
”That kind of thing is irrelevant”
”Yes, sorry!”
Being told off by Felli, Layfon felt smaller, and everyone persuaded Felli to calm down
But, in that case Felli was unlikely to listen
”That child she seeo, but, there was soh, it wasn't only hiroup that didn't want that girl to reach her destination, and they kept getting involved”
”So you helped her?”
”Things naturally developed like that, and I couldn't just let it go”
Seeing Layfon raise his head and look over, the audience sighed deeply
”I say, Layfon”
The first to open his h I pretty much knew already, you really also suffer froht about it before, but what's up with that name?”
”You don't need to worry, everyone other than you agrees”
”Uuu”
Because that was the case, she didn't kno to retort
”A, anyways!”
In order to turn things around, Nina raised her voice
”Anyways, right noe should celebrate because of his return”
”Ooh, not bad”
”Agreed, agreed”
”Then we'll have to go buy things soon”
”Great! A feast!”
”Hey Layfon, you've been outside for about a year, and you should have had quite a few interesting experiences, hurry and tell me”
Those kinds of voices surrounded Layfon
Everyone seemed very happy
They felt happy froain
Felli should feel that as well
It should bethe saation rooirl just now
”Do you want to come too?”
Because she had received Nina's invitation, the girl and the driver also came to participate in the festivities
It was particularly lively today in a dilapidated heart far from the center of the city
Because an old friend had returned, and a co for had returned
Right now, those kinds of happy feelings were constantly overflowing fro it
But for some reason, Felli didn't have that kind of joyful appearance
Though she had escaped from the first floor of Meishen's shop, she could still hear their voices
”Really”
Her sighs hadn't stopped, even now
Though Felli nor, the happy sounds today were twice as hard to bear
”U out thefor a while, a voice sounded
It was Layfon
”Isn't it bad for tonight's guest of honor to be goofing off in this kind of place?”
”Hahaha I was kicked out by Sharnid-senpai”
Saying that, Layfon sat down opposite Felli
”Well”
Because she couldn't face Layfon as looking for words to say, Felli aze
”Anyways, sorry”
”For what?'
”I came late”
”Didn't you have your own reasons?”
It was for that girl
”Well, uh”
”Speaking of which, what's with that Dite?”
”Ah, it's a Heaven's Blade”
”Didn't you refuse it?”
During that battle, Layfon had refused the Heaven's Blade that Leerin brought Felli also witnessed it, and had supported Layfon
But, right now Layfon held it
”Well, I already also talked with the city police The thing inside that case was a Heaven's Blade”
There had also been two letters inside the case
One was from Leerin, and another from Alsheyra
”Leerin's letter said 'Her Majesty said to give it to you, and you don't have to be a Heaven's Blade successor, is that alright?' Her Majesty's letter said 'It's not necessary anyive it to you, I'll just act as if it disappeared during battle' ”
”That's really doing whatever they want, both sides”
”That's right And since I use it, I' to certain things?”
”Though I was troubled at the start, I already carried outto be that stubborn is a bit childish”
”Moreover, it's much more convenient if I have a Heaven's Blade, that's the truth”
”True”
Layfon didn't have the Heaven's Blade in that battle because he had been excluded froed
The battle had already ended now, so it would be too shaed
”Truthfully, it has played a big role”
”Well sorry”
”Why are you apologizing?”
”No, well, you seem mad”
”You don't even knohether I'ize first?”
”Uhhh”
”H the cowardly Layfon, Felli scoffed
”Actually, I’m the same”
”Eh?”
”Actually, I felt happy froh to cry”
”But, I couldn't do it Because, I knew, that your return here wouldn't continue on to anything afterwards”
”That”
”You'll leave, right?”
”You'll leave In order to let that girl coain”
Layfon didn't have any way of negating Felli's words
Maybe if he didn't look at Felli, he could think of soaze from Felli
”I know that this isn't Nina Disease It's because you're that kind of person, I understood long ago”
”Felli”
”You can't give up on troubled people, and if your strength is enough to help others, you'll go try There's no one who can stop your actions”
”Felli”
”You don't need to continue staying in Zuellni anyh if you do that There will be many people around who need you in the future”
”Felli”
”The world will constantly change after this Pollutants will disappear, developments outside the city will continuously take place, and the world will change During those changes, calls for your help will be heard everywhere Though there will be things that you feel annoying, you'll definitely do so that you feel is correct”
Because that was Layfon
”Felli”
”Live your life like that, and do what you believe in”
”Felli!”
Layfon's hand reached to the trerabbed the hand that wanted to support Felli's shoulder
The hands of the two tightly grabbed each other
”I knew you were going to turn out like this, but wasn't able to stop you Because I feel happy that you became like this”
Felli put her face by his hand
A rough hand suitable for a Military Artist
Felli had already been held a countless nuh the battlefield
But, those days would no longer happen
”Because I can't stop you fro what you want to do”
Because she didn't want hi tears, Felli brushed off his hand and ran back to her roo since known that she would be ht she would cry”
But, he hadn't thought she would have that kind of response
Layfon sluggishly returned to his senses, seeing Arute and Hotep standing there Hotep was the driver of the roalasses and nicotine wherever and whenever, he had a cigarette in his hter, Arute deftly stole it
”You can't s Hotep, Arute walked to Layfon
Her movements seemed extremely uneasy
”Uht, this is a decision I made myself”
He would protect Arute, and send her to the place she wanted to go to
He had already promised her
”But, Layfon, you actually want to return here, right? And, the person just noas alaiting for you”
”Then you really should stay here! Don't worry about my business! Didn't I always persist before even when I didn't have you!”
”How can that kind of thing be alright”
Arute's hard work in persuading Layfon was turned into a wasted effort by a sentence frouys have already noticed you You can't escape just relying on us You know, right? I' like fighting”
”But!”
”It's necessary to have a Military Artist companion with power like Lay In the first place, the abilities of Military Artists are beco lower and lower because of the decrease of Aurora particles Don't think that a Military Artist like Lay is easy to come by”
”Uuu”
”Listen, Arute I' other than drive a roa bus But I definitely will send you to the Gate of Aluhard In order to reach that goal, I'll use whatever e the life of a youngster”
”H, Hotep”
The driver's deter Arute feel nervous
”It's alright, Arute”
”Lay”
His chest hurt, and even now he hadn't been able to organize his thoughts
But, this was definitely alright
He had already seen Felli's face
”Ah there's soht of so to say since the beginning but lacking an opportunity to say it, Hotep interrupted with some difficulty
”It seeain”
”Eh?”
◇
Layfon only told everyone about the day of his departure two days later
He was going to leave soon The roa bus that had been ruined by Felli had been quickly repaired by the driver using the warehouse of old bus parts underneath Zuellni
His skillsof a God'
That kind of thing was less
Meishen was the one who told everyone the day of his departure After she had ended practice that day and returned, Meishen told her in the shop
She only made a response like 'I see', and then walked to her roo a worried expression
In any case, he would go, so it would have been better if he left without letting anyone know
She cli
She thought of various possibilities
She posed various options
But, in the end, she couldn't decide how to choose between two paths
”Hahh”
Like that, things had developed while she had done nothing, and she hadn't chosen anything
Just thinking about that, she felt that her chest hurt
But, everything Felli did was to no avail
Thinking of that, Felli opened the door to her room
This was indeed carelessness
At that ti attention to her surroundings
When she opened the door, she heard a voice that hadn't co overturned came from the room
Felli who noticed that sound stood still blankly, because that room was her own bedroom
A thief?
Moreover, in her own bedroom
Her wardrobe was there
That oal was
”Hurry”
”Ah, I got it How's this? It's pink”
”C, color doesn'tis fine, hurry”
”Uwah, there's even black Truly impressive, truly impressive~ Okay, let's put this in too”
”I said that anything was fine, hurry up”
”Ah, but Hotep said, 'Pure white is the only choice a uess we really should choose white?”
”Anything is fine for that kind of thing!”
It see sneaky
Restoring her Dite, she let her Psychokinesis flakes gather in front of the door Of course there were some positioned outside, and if it were necessary, she could demolish the entire apartment
”I will- kill these perverts- instantly”
With that kind of resolution, Felli opened the door to her bedroom
She already kneas inside by the voices
At Felli opening the door and standing there, thepair froze
”Well do you have anything to say before you die”
The people there were Layfon and that girl na of this?”
”This”
”What?”
”This is to prepare for our escape tonight”
”Huh?”
”For that, I need underwear!”
Arute raised her hand vibrantly
”Lay, he said that it was a bit weird toHotep do it would be even h I don't really understand what's going on, that orthy of evaluation”
”Ehe!”
”And then, what is this about escaping in the night?”
Felli had already heard that Layfon and the others would leave
So that shouldn't be the night escape they were talking about
That was a norht?
”Felli”
Layfon called out to Felli
He looked at Felli with an extremely serious expression
”Felli, why don't you come too”
”Eh?”
”I considered, and actually it would be the best outcome if Felli ith inally thought that Felli would probably be happier to stay in Zuellni, but”
That rong
Felli held it back and didn't say that
That wasn't correct, and staying in Zuellni definitely wasn't happiness for Felli
Felli's happiness was
”Of course I want Felli to be able to feel happy But but”
Hurry, hurry up and say it
Her heart was al
The sentence that she had alanted to hear
That her heart had always longed for
No
She had spread her Psychokinesis flakes every day in order to wait for Layfon to return, collecting various rumors
In order to chase after Layfon, she had kept spreading her Psychokinesis outside the city
She had spent every day silently in a sea of less information
Those days couldn't make her feel happy
My happiness is in front of ht here
So, please
”I think that my life should have Felli by my side”
Hurry, please say those words to me
”Yes”
Her body anized her feelings
”F, Felli”
Rushi+ng into his chest, Felli cried
She had long since wanted to do this
”Layfon”
”Nn?”
”This kind of situation is usually called eloping”
”Ah”
”Ah”
Layfon and Arute looked at each other
”Right, right No wonder I always felt it was a bit strange Really, you need to learn more, Lay”
”S, sorry”
”Ah, whatever, since it's already decided, then let's hurry up Right, hurry up and get ready to elope Sis, is this h?”
”Wait a bit for h her wardrobe again, Felli brought the two of the roo that had been placed in front of the sofa
”Ah”
”Ah”
The two of theaincase placed in front of the sofa
”What, you're already ready, Sis”
”I always expected this kind of development”
She said this, and then looked at Layfon His face was already red
”Then, the underwear that you personally selected is inside?”
”Why do you pay attention to that?”
◇
The two of them seemed to have sneaked in from Felli's
But when they left, they left nor case acco Layfon and Arute, Meishen's eyes widened But she quickly showed a tender s her hand at Felli
She walked next to Layfon Arute advanced with skips and juhtly ahead of them
They walked very naturally, hand in hand
”Thank you, Felli”
”It's nothing”
Layfon took the traveling case, and their gazes htly surprised expression
He also felt his face become a bit hot
Ah, just now, I sht this she felt that her heart also becahter
