The sea plains that followed Heim were calm.
Spookily serene, all you hear is the sound of waves hitting the ship, plus the sound of two heads of El and Al swimming.
… and finally the ship with Krone arrives at the port town Round Heart.
"- Something you remember, though it's changed."
I've only had a few legs at a young age, but the panorama was memorable.
Most of them had collapsed in the war against Ishtarika, but the atmosphere had not changed.
But how should I get off the ship? No talap already, too expensive to jump.
And that's when.
"Cuh."
Elle gives his neck and sends a signal to Krone.
"... will you follow me?
Then Elle answers in a superior mood with a puckering mouth.
Krone thanked him, squeaking and putting his foot on Elle's head, he got off the ship in a cautious move.
"Thank you. El.... Al too, thanks for your help"
"Gah......!
As he stroked the heads of the nearer twins, Krone looked in the direction of the king's capital. There's a giant tree I've never even seen, and I can tell in a flash that's Ain.
"Well, how do I get there... It's tough, but I guess I'll have to walk."
"- Oh. Mr. Krone, did you get this far by yourself?
"... Dear Sylvia?
Then, at some point, Sylvia stood right beside him. She can't help it, she can't help it, and when she comes to her expression, she walks next to Krone and approaches the twins.
"These kids are the twins in the example?
"That's right. My sister Elle and my brother Al... are the twins of a sea dragon."
"Oh, yeah - come on, there you are. I'll give you the magic stone you didn't use."
"Cuckoo!?
"Gaw...... Gaw!
The twins, who have grown up with people in the Wang capital, receive demonic stones from Sylvia without alarm.
Instead of receiving it, I threw it and swallowed what was given to me.
"Hmm...? Oh, these kids, you just peeled."
"Skinning, is it?
Sylvia shrugged when she saw the clear scales of the twins.
"Yep. Because scales are transparent, right?
"- The twin scales have been clear for a long time, haven't they?
Pokan, seeing a clone with a pale expression, Sylvia grins holding her mouth down with her hands. Taking Krone's hand with the other empty hand, he proceeded with pleasure.
"Oh, uh - Master Sylvia?
Krone confused by sudden movements. But Sylvia still smiles and talks.
"Cain was originally a little skeleton kid."
"It's so Rin now, is it?
"Yep. He followed me a little bit, and he was so cute. And then it got a little bigger, and evolved... and after hundreds of years, it finally became Durahan."
"... hundreds of years"
It's a strange time interval from our own humans. It's natural to be strong, Krone convinced.
"These kids do the same thing. I'm sure you're growing to evolve."
"The sea dragon has evolved...... I'm just a little worried that you're going too far."
"I'm fine. Something much stronger for the owner. … Now let's get on the horse and go to Wangdu"
Sylvia must have come all the way to pick him up. Encouraging Krone, the two of us rode one horse and ran their horses to King Heim's capital.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Though how much we are, didn't you worry that there are still Heim soldiers...?
"... it's an earache story"
"Not at all. What are you gonna do? If you get caught, they'll strip you naked as soon as they... they'll decide, won't they?
It's not easy to just think about it. I can't deny it was frivolous, but more than that, my desire to go near Ain won.
"Maybe... if that's what's going to happen, Ain, you could have stormed out again and helped me,"
"Hey, that's a hard story to laugh at."
"Heh-heh. Come on, I got it."
We run horses from the port town Roundheart for a while and finally reach King Heim's capital - its castle gate.
"Damn, there's a sign of a sea snake..." Sylvia said, "but I really didn't expect to get in alone."
"... Dear Cain. Yesterday, really, about Ein."
"I don't mind. Even I feel a little responsible."
Cain kept his back on a rock that fell by the castle gate. When I realize what the two of you have done, I call out as I sit down.
If you look at that kneecap, there was a jealous dreamer who was drooling and sleeping - Archet the Demon King.
"Ku... Ka..."
Seeing that sight also makes me honestly nod that Archet was a pacifist.
When Krone is taken aback for a moment, he changes his mind and looks at Cain.
"It's quiet in the king's capital. Speaking of dangerous, it's about the time Ain woke up... but if it stays that way, it's fine."
"Yes, it is. I'll show you one person, so why don't you go to Wangdu with that guide?
"Guidance, is it?
"Yep. No more knights than his loyalty."
Two people getting off the horse. Then Sylvia took what she had cherished out of her nostalgia.
What did you take out...... from Krone, it just seems like a pale, pale gem.
"I give it to Mr. Krone. Take it instead of amulet."
"- Um, what is this? It sounds like a gem..."
"Of course, it's a secret."
"... ok. Then I'll take your amulet instead."
It was Sylvia answering Nico, but Krone gives up, seeing as she doesn't seem willing to tell me.
Nearby, Cain is distressed with his hands on his forehead, but I'm sure he also remembers past hardships.
"By the way, who are you to guide me to?
"I'm in the castle gate. I know it's the Wang Capital, but I can't even walk by myself."
This joking interaction finally allowed Krone to smile.
Thanking him for bringing him this far, for stopping Ain, Krone bows his head before stepping into the king's capital.
"But I wonder who the hell you're talking about. Manipulating the right Heim soldiers?...... yeah. Exactly, I don't think so."
Hard to think of as someone else, too.
In the end, after a short walk, not knowing who it was about, Krone went for the Augusto residence, leaning her neck wonderfully.
"... I didn't expect you back here."
In addition to the aftermath of the war, Ain's rampage created a spectacular sight.
Heim Castle, which I thought was splendid at a young age. Knowing Ishtarika's culture, its consciousness has vanished, but its Heim castle has collapsed without a trace.
Because Ein is now the one who controls the capital of King Haim.
"- I've been waiting for you. Dear Krone,"
"Huh... so who... Huh!?
"Oops. I'm so sorry to surprise you with this. I am Marco… I am in the old knight who serves Ein."
"Serving Ain... Knight...?
Marco's appearance is clearly a monster. At least, I don't remember Krone subordinating the Demon Knight.
But the name sounded familiar.
"Maybe Master Marco, too, who was summoned by Ain...... what?
"Yep. Exactly."
Then don't worry. At least, it's not right for Krone to suspect more than that because Sylvia is a knight who pushes his heartbeat.
In a sigh of relief, Krone answers Marco by doing a cartesey.
"Nice to meet you. Dear Marco, my name is Krone Augusto. This time, I'm going to show you a woman like me."
"... no. Don't be so humble. Besides, you can have Marco about me. Dear Krone,"
"There is no such thing. Such disrespect to me..."
"I serve Ein. If so, it makes sense to be called away from Master Krone.... Come on, let's come."
The old Ishtarika Royal Group may be quite stubborn.
In retrospect of his recent interaction with Sylvia, Krone walked behind Marco with the look of giving up.
◇ ◇ ◇
But Marco's request continued afterwards. The next time he asked me to change the tone, Krone changed the tone, bewildered.
I tried to change it, but it was also different... and I tried to tone it to speak to my accustomed men, and Marco nodded satisfactorily.
"Dear Krone, How about a little bit of my old story, if you don't mind?
"... yeah. I want to hear it."
"I told you earlier that I was on a mission in Lord Archet's castle… Next, let's talk about what happened before that."
"Is that when the Old Demon King's Land... No, the Old King's Capital was alive?
Consider his feelings and re-call him the old King's Capital. Marco continues to speak brightly when he is in a good mood to hear it.
"Actually, this Marco. It was decided who to serve."
"- What? Didn't Marco serve Master Archet?
"Indeed, in a broad sense, he served Master Archet and Ishtarika. But there was no one else in charge."
Thinking about Dill was easy to understand. Dir serves Istarika and is also under Silvado's command. But confusing, the absolute master becomes Ain.
Given the position, Silverado is the pinnacle, but finally, it means including issues of the mind, etc.
"My name Marco was also something I didn't until I met that master. I admired her, and I gave myself a name."
"... so what happened to that master?
"A certain disturbance prevented me from leaving the King's capital, and I never dreamed of offering. And then... he said he took his breath off the lap of the woman he loved."
I guess it was careless for Marco, too. The more painfully the thought passes to Krone.
"But at the end of the day, you left something important for me."
"Important words?
"Yep. He was left saying this before he took his breath away." If you're ever going to be reborn, I want to be a demon king who can beat them. "I believed that word and waited for hundreds of years at Demon King's Castle with my mission."
"If you're waiting for the Demon King, you mean the Demon King Castle...?
"Ha... you're right. My memory faded because of the beast, but I was able to keep it as an obsession at the bottom of my heart"
What happened to Marco's carelessness afterwards? I was hesitant to ask any more, and Krone nodded deeply with a strange face.
"That's it for my guide. Everything you see is Ein, and I'm sure Ein's will is being fought inside."
Then stop right next to the Augusto residence. Already the Augusto mansion was swallowed up by Ain, and what was left was as small a garden.
It makes me solicit loneliness for this, but Krone is satisfied that he came beside Ain.
"Thank you, Marco.... I don't know what to do, but I'll talk to Ain."
"Yep. Give it to me that way. I'll be waiting for you away, so call me if you need anything"
"... ok. Thanks."
When the two split the word into cuts, Krone took a bad footpath and approached Ain's roots.
I almost scratched my leg many times, but I endure it where it is in inches.
"-But where can I call you from?"
Touch these thick roots? Or, while keeping your body in the trunk? Or climb on a tree?... Unfortunately, none of them flatter.
Krone thinks about what's going on as he walks around. But today is the day she is blessed with the help of others.
"Wow, wow!
"Wow... there are rare creatures! It's rare! Wow!
"... Yes?
A glowing ball that suddenly came down...... if you look closely, you can see that there is a small human form inside.
Repeating in the same way what happened in the elf, Krone was puzzled by the two balls on his shoulder.
"Isn't it rude to have a creature who doesn't know where it is but suddenly makes people rare?
"What? But it's rare, isn't it?
"... so what's so rare"
That Krone gets a little irritated, too. Making that look a little bit more on the look, the two balls winged with cackles and laughter,
"I'm your sister!
"... sister?
"Yeah! Me, this kid's sister!
"So, so! I'm your sister's sister!
Well, if my sister is down there and she's a woman, then she's my sister.
Krone held his head with a frightened look at what he was talking about.
"Hey, why...? Why do you have a demon stone outside your body?
"Eh! Get it out! Get it out!
"Ah - hey... stop it!
Two glowing balls clung to the krone.
Then, when I went into Krone's clothes better to name her sister, she showed herself in her hand what she had received from Sylvia.
"I got that from Master Sylvia......!
"Hey! Why? Why are you alive even if you let the demon stone out of your body?
"It's a rare creature!
"... that's because I'm human"
But I guess I didn't like this reply.
The two lights tread the ground waste in the air,
"I hate liars! This is your demon stone (...)!
"Rare creature liar! You're a liar just like the World Tree!
"Is... eh...? Oh, that's not true, is it? I'm human, aren't I?
"A rare creature! You're pixie, but you're human! So liar!"
I know you're saying something meaningful, but they're just saying what they came up with.
When Krone gives a tired look, he remembers the world tree...... and what they said, and speaks with a stiff face.
"Hey, both of you? Ain't... do you know where the World Tree is?
Even so, I guess everything I see is a world tree, but Krone spoke only with Ain's intention.
But it seemed right to rely on the two of you,
"I get it! You lying world tree, you're sleeping over there!
"This way, this way!
"... I'll tell you what."
Following the light that flew away freely, Krone moved forward lightly in his footsteps.
After a short period of avoiding the roots and snails of the trees, Krone arrives at the place of destination with guidance from the two of them.
It was closer to the border between the trunk and the roots, and there was a large space.
"- Here! World Tree, I'm off now!
"You can't wake me up! Shh! I have to!
"... I know. Thanks, both of you."
Who the hell are the two of you? I can't help worrying about that either, but it would be something like a fairy... Krone decided to think this way.
And to the sight that spread in front of her, she smiled like a goddess.
"Nice seats, Ein"
The day Ain and Krone first met...... the evening tea party Olivia and the three of us went to.
The same terrace seats as that day were intimate with the trunk of the bulimic world tree. The chair and trunk have been assimilated, but Ain sits on that seat.
Covered in thick tree roots and twigs, this is a sight where day leaks are not bad. When she checked the many star crystals rolling at her feet, Krone sat in the seat next to Ein.
"-Come on, let's start the tea party, shall we?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The sea plains that followed Heim were calm.
Spookily serene, all you hear is the sound of waves hitting the ship, plus the sound of two heads of El and Al swimming.
… and finally the ship with Krone arrives at the port town Round Heart.
"- Something you remember, though it's changed."

But Sylvia still smiles and talks."Cain was originally a little skeleton kid.""It's so Rin now, is it? "Yep. He followed me a little bit, and he was so cute. And then it got a little bigger, and evolved... and after hundreds of years, it finally became Durahan.""... hundreds of years"It's a strange time interval from our own humans. It's natural to be strong, Krone convinced."These kids do the same thing. I'm sure you're growing to evolve.""The sea dragon has evolved...... I'm just a little worried that you're going too far.""I'm fine. Something much stronger for the owner. Now let's get on the horse and go to Wangdu"Sylvia must have come all the way to pick him up. Encouraging Krone, the two of us rode one horse and ran their horses to King Heim's capital. "Though how much we are, didn't you worry that there are still Heim soldiers...? "... it's an earache story""Not at all. What are you gonna do? If you get caught, they'll strip you naked as soon as they... they'll decide, won't they? It's not easy to just think about it. I can't deny it was frivolous, but more than that, my desire to go near Ain won."Maybe... if that's what's going to happen, Ain, you could have stormed out again and helped me,""Hey, that's a hard story to laugh at.""Heh-heh. Come on, I got it."We run horses from the port town Roundheart for a while and finally reach King Heim's capital - its castle gate."Damn, there's a sign of a sea snake..." Sylvia said, "but I really didn't expect to get in alone.""... Dear Cain. Yesterday, really, about Ein.""I don't mind. Even I feel a little responsible."Cain kept his back on a rock that fell by the castle gate. When I realize what the two of you have done, I call out as I sit down.If you look at that kneecap, there was a jealous dreamer who was drooling and sleeping - Archet the Demon King."Ku... Ka..."Seeing that sight also makes me honestly nod that Archet was a pacifist.When Krone is taken aback for a moment, he changes his mind and looks at Cain."It's quiet in the king's capital. Speaking of dangerous, it's about the time Ain woke up... but if it stays that way, it's fine.""Yes, it is. I'll show you one person, so why don't you go to Wangdu with that guide? "Guidance, is it? "Yep. No more knights than his loyalty."Two people getting off the horse. Then Sylvia took what she had cherished out of her nostalgia.What did you take out...... from Krone, it just seems like a pale, pale gem."I give it to Mr. Krone. Take it instead of amulet.""- Um, what is this? It sounds like a gem...""Of course, it's a secret.""... ok. Then I'll take your amulet instead."It was Sylvia answering Nico, but Krone gives up, seeing as she doesn't seem willing to tell me.Nearby, Cain is distressed with his hands on his forehead, but I'm sure he also remembers past hardships."By the way, who are you to guide me to? "I'm in the castle gate. I know it's the Wang Capital, but I can't even walk by myself."This joking interaction finally allowed Krone to smile.Thanking him for bringing him this far, for stopping Ain, Krone bows his head before stepping into the king's capital."But I wonder who the hell you're talking about. Manipulating the right Heim soldiers?...... yeah. Exactly, I don't think so."Hard to think of as someone else, too.In the end, after a short walk, not knowing who it was about, Krone went for the Augusto residence, leaning her neck wonderfully."... I didn't expect you back here."In addition to the aftermath of the war, Ain's rampage created a spectacular sight.Heim Castle, which I thought was splendid at a young age. Knowing Ishtarika's culture, its consciousness has vanished, but its Heim castle has collapsed without a trace.Because Ein is now the one who controls the capital of King Haim."- I've been waiting for you. Dear Krone,""Huh... so who... Huh!? "Oops. I'm so sorry to surprise you with this. I am Marco I am in the old knight who serves Ein.""Serving Ain... Knight...? Marco's appearance is clearly a monster. At least, I don't remember Krone subordinating the Demon Knight.But the name sounded familiar."Maybe Master Marco, too, who was summoned by Ain...... what? "Yep. Exactly."Then don't worry. At least, it's not right for Krone to suspect more than that because Sylvia is a knight who pushes his heartbeat.In a sigh of relief, Krone answers Marco by doing a cartesey."Nice to meet you. Dear Marco, my name is Krone Augusto. This time, I'm going to show you a woman like me.""... no. Don't be so humble. Besides, you can have Marco about me. Dear Krone,""There is no such thing. Such disrespect to me...""I serve Ein. If so, it makes sense to be called away from Master Krone.... Come on, let's come."The old Ishtarika Royal Group may be quite stubborn.In retrospect of his recent interaction with Sylvia, Krone walked behind Marco with the look of giving up. But Marco's request continued afterwards. The next time he asked me to change the tone, Krone changed the tone, bewildered.I tried to change it, but it was also different... and I tried to tone it to speak to my accustomed men, and Marco nodded satisfactorily."Dear Krone, How about a little bit of my old story, if you don't mind? "... yeah. I want to hear it.""I told you earlier that I was on a mission in Lord Archet's castle Next, let's talk about what happened before that.""Is that when the Old Demon King's Land... No, the Old King's Capital was alive? Consider his feelings and re-call him the old King's Capital. Marco continues to speak brightly when he is in a good mood to hear it."Actually, this Marco. It was decided who to serve.""- What? Didn't Marco serve Master Archet? "Indeed, in a broad sense, he served Master Archet and Ishtarika. But there was no one else in charge."Thinking about Dill was easy to understand. Dir serves Istarika and is also under Silvado's command. But confusing, the absolute master becomes Ain.Given the position, Silverado is the pinnacle, but finally, it means including issues of the mind, etc."My name Marco was also something I didn't until I met that master. I admired her, and I gave myself a name.""... so what happened to that master? "A certain disturbance prevented me from leaving the King's capital, and I never dreamed of offering. And then... he said he took his breath off the lap of the woman he loved."I guess it was careless for Marco, too. The more painfully the thought passes to Krone."But at the end of the day, you left something important for me.""Important words? "Yep. He was left saying this before he took his breath away." If you're ever going to be reborn, I want to be a demon king who can beat them. "I believed that word and waited for hundreds of years at Demon King's Castle with my mission.""If you're waiting for the Demon King, you mean the Demon King Castle...? "Ha... you're right. My memory faded because of the beast, but I was able to keep it as an obsession at the bottom of my heart"What happened to Marco's carelessness afterwards? I was hesitant to ask any more, and Krone nodded deeply with a strange face."That's it for my guide. Everything you see is Ein, and I'm sure Ein's will is being fought inside."Then stop right next to the Augusto residence. Already the Augusto mansion was swallowed up by Ain, and what was left was as small a garden.It makes me solicit loneliness for this, but Krone is satisfied that he came beside Ain."Thank you, Marco.... I don't know what to do, but I'll talk to Ain.""Yep. Give it to me that way. I'll be waiting for you away, so call me if you need anything""... ok. Thanks."When the two split the word into cuts, Krone took a bad footpath and approached Ain's roots.I almost scratched my leg many times, but I endure it where it is in inches."-But where can I call you from?"Touch these thick roots? Or, while keeping your body in the trunk? Or climb on a tree?... Unfortunately, none of them flatter.Krone thinks about what's going on as he walks around. But today is the day she is blessed with the help of others."Wow, wow! "Wow... there are rare creatures! It's rare! Wow! "... Yes? A glowing ball that suddenly came down...... if you look closely, you can see that there is a small human form inside.Repeating in the same way what happened in the elf, Krone was puzzled by the two balls on his shoulder."Isn't it rude to have a creature who doesn't know where it is but suddenly makes people rare? "What? But it's rare, isn't it? "... so what's so rare"That Krone gets a little irritated, too. Making that look a little bit more on the look, the two balls winged with cackles and laughter,"I'm your sister! "... sister? "Yeah! Me, this kid's sister! "So, so! I'm your sister's sister! Well, if my sister is down there and she's a woman, then she's my sister.Krone held his head with a frightened look at what he was talking about."Hey, why...? Why do you have a demon stone outside your body? "Eh! Get it out! Get it out! "Ah - hey... stop it! Two glowing balls clung to the krone.Then, when I went into Krone's clothes better to name her sister, she showed herself in her hand what she had received from Sylvia."I got that from Master Sylvia......! "Hey! Why? Why are you alive even if you let the demon stone out of your body? "It's a rare creature! "... that's because I'm human"But I guess I didn't like this reply.The two lights tread the ground waste in the air,"I hate liars! This is your demon stone ...! "Rare creature liar! You're a liar just like the World Tree! "Is... eh...? Oh, that's not true, is it? I'm human, aren't I? "A rare creature! You're pixie, but you're human! So liar!"I know you're saying something meaningful, but they're just saying what they came up with.When Krone gives a tired look, he remembers the world tree...... and what they said, and speaks with a stiff face."Hey, both of you? Ain't... do you know where the World Tree is? Even so, I guess everything I see is a world tree, but Krone spoke only with Ain's intention.But it seemed right to rely on the two of you,"I get it! You lying world tree, you're sleeping over there! "This way, this way! "... I'll tell you what."Following the light that flew away freely, Krone moved forward lightly in his footsteps.After a short period of avoiding the roots and snails of the trees, Krone arrives at the place of destination with guidance from the two of them.It was closer to the border between the trunk and the roots, and there was a large space."- Here! World Tree, I'm off now! "You can't wake me up! Shh! I have to! "... I know. Thanks, both of you."Who the hell are the two of you? I can't help worrying about that either, but it would be something like a fairy... Krone decided to think this way.And to the sight that spread in front of her, she smiled like a goddess."Nice seats, Ein"The day Ain and Krone first met...... the evening tea party Olivia and the three of us went to.The same terrace seats as that day were intimate with the trunk of the bulimic world tree. The chair and trunk have been assimilated, but Ain sits on that seat.Covered in thick tree roots and twigs, this is a sight where day leaks are not bad. When she checked the many star crystals rolling at her feet, Krone sat in the seat next to Ein."-Come on, let's start the tea party, shall we?
