I straightened my posture

「I summoned you this time to help you This is the second tio, when you were 16, your master betrayed you and nearly killed you, and this tiht it was over this time! If I was even one second late you would have died you know!」 (Astrea)

「Is that so」 (Izayoi)

「When soht?」 (Astrea)

「Thanks」 (Izayoi)

It's not like I said I wanted to be saved or anything If I returned, I'otten a lecture

Astrea is fundaood, but tiresome as well

She s for my benefit

It took me about two years from when I was summoned to understand that

I was still a child then, so it couldn't be helped

「Wait arude recollections, are you?」 (Astrea)

「」 (Izayoi)

「Say soot it already Astrea-chan will explain everything, so listen carefully I won't say it twice! I really won't!」 (Astrea)

Astrea's only able to chatter idly, it would be good if she learns fast Have you changed a bit since we last met?

「I said it before, I summoned you to help you, with no ulterior motives Astrea-chan knows that Izayoi is here in front of her now, and these past 5 years Izayoi andering around! I don't know any more than that! All finished!」 (Astrea)

No different from what I already know, huh Then there's no need to say any more

「Got it My job here is done, so I'll be returning now」 (Izayoi)

「Eh, you're going back? Wait! Astrea-chan summoned you here with her power, so won't you stay and chat for a while? So, so don't let the conversation end quickly」 (Astrea)

「Let it end quickly?」 (Izayoi)

「Let's quickly get to the pink adult night with the adult Izayoi—」 (Astrea)

「You're tired froht? Let's relax」 (Izayoi)

Narrowing my concentration, I noticed a source of noise in the pure white sky

「Wait! Don't go! I don't want you to go!」 (Izayoi)

As Astrea's voice faded into the distance, I had the sensation of

With the sensation of returning tosound of the waves

Awaking fro exposed to the sea breeze, I dusted myself off and headed towards the withered forest under the ht

As thein the withered forest

The seed of life A strange fruit grew from the barren soil The fruit was packed with nutrients inside of its hard walnut-like shell, and had e from five years prior told me that this wasn't a dream

Searching a bit, I gathered four fruit They will be good to sell

After spending an hour gathering, I e the sun rising in the sky, I had a vague idea where I was I didn't know the na inland, I began walking and saw so

『Izayoi! Can you hear me?』 (Astrea)

Because I'm on break, wouldn't it be fine to not respond for now?

『I thought it would be bad to get a hint while on break, so I investigated the surroundings』 (Astrea)

(I generally knohere this is But which way is the town?) (Izayoi)

『The town is right over there, you know Not good, it's impossible』 (Astrea)

(That’s a relief It would be good to rest for half a year) (Izayoi)

『Resting for a day is plenty!』 (Astrea)

She spoke not intothe spirit of a dead person in a body is quite inconvenient

Turning in the suggested direction, a splendid townbut not seeing any signs of life, I was suspicious of it being an oasis e

Putting on my half-dry jacket, I turned towards the town

Many carts were parked around the entrance of the town, and people were busy running around with their luggage On a carriage was the syhts Why were they in a remote place like this?

To find out why, I called out to the squad's captain

「'scuse me What's the reason for your travel?」 (Izayoi)

「The reason for our travel? By the grace of the king, we knights have come to the town of Arona for supplies」 (Squad Captain)

「Supplies, is it」 (Izayoi)

「Yes There seeoods here, so please help us out」 (Squad Captain)

「I see One question though, is there a guild in the town?」 (Izayoi)

「A guild? Yes; it's in the northwest section Shall I guide you there?」 (Squad Captain)

「No, I'll be fine Thanks」 (Izayoi)

I saw the captain off before entering the town Now that I knohere the guild is, what should I do?

In athered earlier I had none of my equipment from before I was executed, and only had my wet clothes now

Wanting to exchange the fruit, I had no choice but to go to the guild

I had a reason to hesitate going to the guild though

I was su out brave deeds, and sealed the ra demon lord

And I was betrayed My master and coth On the verge of death, Astrea returned ain And now I'ain

If there are any documents left, they'll find out that I'm the hero

My death was uncertain, but I need to find out what has happened in the past five years Wait Five years? If I reuild member information is removed after five years if it's not updated My information may have been removed

Shall I take the chance? If it doesn't work, I'll think about what to do then
