Vol 17 Chapter 342 (2/2)
She looked at me and waved her hand And the small woman- the Fourth’s wife- looked at me as well
“Lyle! Look! Look at this! They’re that dragon’s scales, but they’re definitely aot them in considerable nuon’s worth of them, and conduct research with the rest And… let a few of them flow elsewhere Then the world will understand their worth, and this material’s value will rise as a raretheir hands on any soon”
Fitting of the Fourth’s wife, she was quite shrehen it carinned as he watched over her carrying the scales so preciously This was a couple with a thing for shi+ny objects
And the Fifth’s children surrounded me
“So this is the heir of the main line”
“Well, isn’t it fine? And it see emperor”
“I’m really sorry you had to deal with Milleia She’s just terrible, isn’t she?”
My surroundings gredy And to the Fifth who had May sit next to hiathered as well
“Dad, at the end of the end, do so about that animal obsession of yours”
A voice representative of his children As I looked to the Fifth, before I noticed it, the animals he kept were by his side as well Surrounded by their fluff, he seemed to be in heaven
“I refuse”
An instant reply Around him, perhaps his wives had come with food and ale, as they lined themselves up
“Good grief, he never changes”
Hearing that, the Fifth’s face turned red as he looked away In contrast, looking around the Sixth
“Did you hear? It seerandchildren Brod, you say so do”
“Fiennes… won’t you look at your mother?”
They directed some incessant attacks at hireat Why did it co his just deserts
There, grand my father and mother behind her
“Oh, so you’re here?”
“I brought the tiet over here”
I didn’t knohat to feel, seeing my father and mother worked so hard by the others I did think to save them, but the two of them didn’t wish for it
As I headed forMy father hid his eyes with his hand
“… I’m sorry I’ve caused you some trouble, Lyle”
Even if he said that in an apron… well, I didn’t hate him at this point, and I directed a smile
“That’s alright I know your reasons So I’m fine Both of you, have some peace”
Myher skirt in both hands, and letting large tears fall While the two of them had come out, Celes hadn’t appeared I’m sure she truly did hate me
“I’ood mother, I’m sorry”
As the two e around, hts I ad upon me
“Lyle-sama, I’m happy for you”
“… It’s so that would never come to pass while they were alive But if they were alive, the young master… no, Lyle would only be in more pain”
And General Blois stood
“I’ arend really was involved It’s al a dream And we need so soe”
With those words he walked off He really was a reliable one
Right, a dream This was an illusion An illusion my Skill produced But…
When I looked to the Jewel, it’s light had grown even dimmer
The First hit his hands together
“All of you, line up! Is the ale all poured? The food all out? Then cheers!”
The Seventh looked at me orry
“Lyle, are you sure you shouldn’t settle for tea or so?”
Even I could tell this wasn’t the sort of atmosphere for that
“I’ll settle for ale Well, I’ve grown stronger than before”
By the tiathered It seeroups of knights and soldiers had been for them were some who had already started into it
No, perhaps our group really was the last
“Eh~ well then… what shall we toast to? Lyle’s victory? Or perhaps…”
The Third grinned
“I’ and victory as, but here, let’s make it a toast to Lyle The wonder child of the Walt House It will be difficult for a talent surpassing his to come out”
In what sense? Well, it was the Third, so I’m sure he meant mr lyle
Perplexed as he was, the Second agreed
“That’s right Let’s raise a glass to Lyle”
The Fourth put on his glasses
“That’s right You stood firm Truly…”
The Fifth gave a rare smile
“Right Perhaps it’s just because I watched you along the way, but I’ll say you worked hard Lyle, you really did your best”
The Sixth seemed a bit unsatisfied
“I wanted to teach you how to play around ot to learn to lay loose”
The Seventh looked at me and nodded
“As I thought, your randson Now, Lyle”
The First held up his glass, and everyone followed suite Novelass of ale As I accepted it, I felt a little embarrassed Novem looked at that and smiled
“Then to Lyle Walt… Cheers!!”
Everyone cried out a ‘Cheers’ and drained their glasses I chuggedtactful as she had watered it down significantly It was easier to drink, but…
“… Urp”
I sat down as if collapsing And li as it rose into the sky As I looked upon the scene,
It wasn’t only in Centralle Fro up at the sky, the reet it
I could hear the sound of cups being set down around
And what I heard at the end
… You did well, Lyle…
Those words alone I put down ht hand The people who had watched over reat many who had saved me
I’m sure I was here because those people ith me There were so many people involved, and then there was me And I’m sure I’d continue on… and become one of them someday
And carrying on froeneration…
I heard footsteps approach It was Novem
“Lyle-sama Everyone’s already…”
I frantically held backripped the Jewel It didn’t feel the saone away It had returned to being a norem in both my hands, I leaked some sobs
“I… know, so… I’m sorry, just for now… I’m sorry I’m the same crybaby I alas”
Miranda and Shannon patup at the sky She was crying Vera issued orders around for everyone to say put
Monica carefully collected the cups Clara helped out, and while Ludmilla, Gracia and Elza made tired faces, they seemed somewhat lonely as they looked around
Eva took a sip of ale, and sang a song forthat ended in new encounters
That’s right
The time had come for me to move forward To stand on my own
So as not to be embarrassed I’ll live so I, who carries the blood of those people, will never feel ashamed Stick out my chest, and live so I can say I did well at the end
That’s why, just for now… isn’t it alright if I cry? I’ll stand up again and face forward in no time So just for now…
“Lyle-sa as well And the Valkyries are surrounding us, so… you can cry as much as you want”
Crying like a child, being comforted by the women around me Yet even so, my tears wouldn’t stop
