490.
Beautiful flowers were in full bloom throughout the village.
The village, which had been full of autumn vibes just a few days ago, felt as if spring had arrived.
As Chen Xia explained, it was a resort town, but it was a rural village, but there was a large inn.
“Wow, you can rent the entire annex?”
Eiran, who was guided to the accommodation, let out an exclamation.
Since we rented an entire annex, we even had a garden.
There was a small pond in the garden.
“I can feel the atmosphere.”
Eiran seemed very satisfied with the eastern-style inn, which is rare in elf society.
Eiran went out into the garden, his eyes lit up as he looked at the ornamental fish in the pond, and he hummed as he picked the flowers that were in full bloom in the garden.
Chen Xia, sitting on the living room floor overlooking the garden, rested her chin on that innocent look.
“Miss Eiran is such a pretty girl.”
“Why are you talking like someone who has been through so much? “You and them are all the same.”
“… … “Captain Leo, who obviously treats us like children, is the youngest here, right?”
Chen Xia opened her eyes and glanced at Leo who was sitting down.
“Anyway, it’s amazing. “A scenery like this.”
There were fallen leaves on the floor.
Literally, spring and fall coexisted.
‘An elf girl and a flower field… … ‘It’s a beautiful picture.’
Chen Xia, who was looking at Eiran with her chin resting, smiled.
And then I looked at Leo again.
“… … .”
Leo was sitting with his arms crossed and looking at the ceiling.
Chen Xia, seeing that, sighed softly and stood up.
Then, he knelt behind Leo and massaged Leo’s shoulders with both hands.
“what? suddenly?”
Leo tilted his head and looked at Chen Xia.
Chen Xia looked down at Leo and smiled.
“I’m giving you a massage. how is it? “Are you cool?”
“The technology is good.”
Leo nodded at Chen Xia’s soft touch on his shoulder.
And he tilted his head.
“But why?”
“I think Master Leo has something difficult ahead of him… … “I want to.”
Chen Xia said, gently releasing Leo’s shoulders.
“I was surprised when they suddenly asked me to go see flowers, but I was also relieved. “I thought Master Leo was taking a break too.”
“I always get enough rest.”
“I’m not talking about that kind of rest.”
Chen Xia said in a slightly annoyed voice.
“I’m talking about forgetting everything and taking a good rest. Master Leo has always been involved in big trouble since he entered school, right? “I wasn’t in a mood to relax during this vacation either.”
I felt strength going into Chen Xia’s small hands.
“Wasn’t it always like that?”
“I guess so. “I’ve never felt like I really needed a break.”
“yes. But I think it’s very important.”
Chen Xia’s hand gently touched Leo’s shoulder again.
“Looking at your expression, I guess the reason you came here is because something happened, right?”
“that’s right.”
“I won’t ask what’s going on.”
Chen Xia lowered her posture and sat down next to her, looking up at Leo.
Leo looked down at Chen Xia.
“But for today, forget everything and rest well. “Coincidentally, this is also the place where shadows come to rest their minds and bodies when they are tired.”
“Indeed, no matter how good the natural scenery is, I thought it was quite large and had good accommodations for a village with few people. “It was for that reason.”
“yes. It is a place that boasts history and tradition. “It is also a place where Bihar took refuge a long time ago.”
“Bihar?”
When Leo looked a little surprised, Chen Xia smiled and massaged Leo’s shoulder again.
“Leo! Chen Xiyang! “Look at this!”
At that time, Eiran, who was in the garden, smiled brightly and called out to the two people.
When I turned my head, Eiran was there, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands.
Because she was wearing civilian clothes, her skirt was long.
So the hem of her skirt was full of flowers, as if in a basket.
“Isn’t it so pretty?!”
“I see.”
Chen Xia smiled brightly.
“Like you said, I’m going to have a good rest today, so you can go play too.”
“yes? “But the massage isn’t finished yet?”
“Thanks to you, I feel cool enough.”
Leo chuckled.

“Do you want to play together, Leo?”
“yes! Leo! let’s hang out together!”
“Am I going to make fun of you with flowers?”
The two girls went to the garden without any hesitation at Leo’s displeased reaction.
‘No matter what happens, kids are still kids.’
Leo chuckled at the sight of the two having fun looking at flowers like ordinary girls their age.
‘It’s a break.’
5000 years ago.
From the moment I held Lisinas’ hand, it was a word that was far from Leo’s.
It’s not just Leo.
Other friends probably felt the same way.
‘Well, at that time, no one could forget everything and rest in peace.’
The same is true even after reincarnation.
I lived with the sole intention of subjugating Erebos.
There was no physical fatigue or mental wear and tear.
Personal care was thorough to maintain the best condition at all times.
But like Chen Xia said, I have never had peace of mind.
There are still many things that have not been sorted out.
‘This is a place where Bihar often came. And he read a memory of unknown origin through spirit magic earlier.
Leo organized the clues one by one.
‘Also, Stathis, which would have become extinct a long time ago, is in full bloom. And somewhere around here is Luna’s tomb that Lisinas and I made… … ‘There is my tomb that Berkia took care of and made for me.’
Leo picked out a flower petal that had flown in through the large door facing the garden.
‘This flower is definitely related to the flower that Lysinas gave to Bercia the night before the last expedition,’
Several clues confused my mind.
‘Did the Necromancer revive Bihar as an undead?’
I thought of a student who couldn’t give up his hatred for people.
But then he shook his head.
‘No, like Chen Xia said, let’s just rest for about a day today.’
I saw Chen Xia weaving flowers to make a crown, and Eiran clapping and laughing when she saw it.
Leo smiled softly as he watched the two people having fun.
***
‘It’s already become a rest trip.’
Leo, soaking in the hot springs, looked blankly at the sky.
The night sky was full of stars that seemed to fall.
“Looking at me like this, Miss Chen Xia is amazing. What can I say, it’s amazing.”
“Hehe, thank you for the compliment.”
A conversation between two people full of laughter could be heard beyond the wall.
“Master Leo, how are you? “It’s great, right?”
“okay.”
“Leo, the night sky is so pretty.”
“I see.”
Leo answered leisurely, affirming what the two said.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, Chen Xia pouted her lips.
Eiran was admiring the sky.
“Isn’t it a bit too much, Master Leo?”
“What?”
Eiran tilted his head at the slightly shaky voice.
“In this open-air bath, just over the wall, there are two beautiful girls washing up. “It’s so annoying.”
Eiran smiled awkwardly at those words.
“I’m not this nervous. “He looks like a worn-out man.”
Eiran scratched his cheek while looking at Chen Xia, who was grumbling in a somewhat dissatisfied voice.
The same goes for being treated like a child during the day.
Chen Xia was a little annoyed by Leo’s attitude.
‘Because Leo is definitely not a child.’
No matter what they look like on the outside, they are adults on the inside.
That’s not an ordinary adult, but a great hero from 5,000 years ago.
He is also the teacher of Berkia and Bihar, the progenitors of his and Chen Xia’s families.
‘No wonder we look like children.’
I put my lips in the water and exhaled.
Bubble Bubble-
Chen Xia said as air bubbles burst.
“We are sisters.”
“that… … “Isn’t that right?”
Eiran gave an ambiguous smile as he saw Chen Xia suddenly showing off his older man’s pride.
“Don’t you want to hear Master Leo’s flustered voice?”
“how?”
Chen Xia playfully winked one eye and said.
“Master Leo. Since I came here to have fun, would you like to take a shower together? “I’ll push your back!”
At Chen Xia’s bombshell remark, Eiran gasped and opened his mouth.
I said this because I thought Leo wouldn’t be embarrassed at all if it didn’t get to this point.
“Is that so?”
Sigh-!
But Leo remained calm.
I heard a sound coming out of the water and then approaching the wall.
Chabak-Chabak-
“Do you want to come over? Or should I go?”
Chen Xia was taken aback by Leo’s unexpected answer.
“yes? ah! Well, that is! No, it was a joke… … Yeah, it doesn’t matter, but I’m the only one… … no no! I was just kidding! Just to tease Master Leo a little… … .”
Chen Xia, who doesn’t even bat an eye at most things, was taken aback.
My face turned bright red, and I stammered and hurriedly answered.
“Don’t play around with things like this.”
Leo’s laughing voice and the sound of a plopping sound were heard again from beyond the wall.
‘eww… … I got hit. ‘I’ve never actually lost.’
Chen Xia buried her face in the hot spring to hide her red face.
“Ah, that’s a shame.”
“yes?”
Then, he was startled by Eiran’s voice and raised his head.
Eiran was shocked as he looked at the dumbfounded Chen Xia and hastily made an excuse.
“I read in a book that in human society, there is a culture where unrelated men and women bathe together while traveling! I guess you could say it was an opportunity to experience culture. I thought it was a good opportunity… … .”
“What do you think of humans? There is no such promiscuous culture. No, what kind of book has that content written in the first place? Unless it’s a strange novel, that kind of content… … .”
Eiran quickly turned his head and avoided eye contact.
Looking at that scene, Chen Xia muttered blankly in her mind.
‘She’s an innocent-looking girl with a dangerous taste in reading.’
***
Gooooooo-!
The world was full of black flames.
The great primordial evil spewed out a flame that seemed to carry everything.
bang-! Flash!
The golden aura soared high into the sky, as if it would cut down the gray sky.
The gray-haired man holding the sword flew away with his eyes flashing.
“Ka, work! “Not alone!”
Luna urgently called Kyle.
“Luna, shoulder treatment comes first. “Kyle will buy you some time, so hurry up.”
Lisinas ran to Luna.
Luna gritted her teeth and healed the pierced wound on her right shoulder.
Left-!
Meanwhile, a sword strike that seemed as if it would split the world was struck towards Erebos.
Buwaaagh-!
The golden auror cut down the giant who was emitting black flames.
Kyle’s gray eyes and Erebos’ dark red eyes became entangled in the air.
[indeed.]
Erebos muttered softly.
[Are you prepared to die, a hero who survives?]
Erebos laughed at the determination reflected in Kyle’s eyes.
Sigh-!
Erebos grabbed the golden aura embedded in his body.
He then lifted his other hand, pulling it away from his body.
Grumbling!
A black flame sword was created.
Kyle saw that and raised the sword in his hand.
Flash! Quagga-ga-ga-ga-gang-! Grumbling!
The sword swung by Erebos crushed Kyle.
Quagga-ga-ga-gang-!
The ground Kyle was standing on was destroyed and he fell.
Kyle, who was blocking the sword of Erebos, was so small.
It looked so unstable that it wouldn’t be surprising if it were crushed and disappeared at any moment.
But Kyle’s gray eyes were not stained with despair.
On the contrary, it fueled even more fierce killing intent.
Grumbling!
Black flames poured down from the sword of Erebos like waves.
A black flame burning with a force that seemed as if it would turn Kyle into ashes at any moment.
Kyle’s hand holding the sword was swept away by black flames.
I saw his face distorted in extreme pain.
Luna shouted after seeing that.
“Now is not the time to tend to your wounds!”
Luna, holding a cane, ran out.
Jump up!
Leo stood up.
“dream?”
Leo’s shoulders were rarely shaking.
My whole body was covered in cold sweat.
It was a dream as vivid as real.
Leo, who remembered the contents of his dream a moment ago, took a deep breath.
‘The third battle of the last expedition.’
It was the battle in which none other than Luna died.
‘It’s no big deal. ‘I had a vivid dream back then.’
It was as vivid as if I had been on the battlefield a moment ago.
The moment when Leo stands on his right hand and tries to raise his body.
“Huh?!”
I felt a burning pain in my right shoulder and my strength went away.
Splat!
Leo fell down and felt that the blanket was damp.
‘blood?’
Leo placed his left hand on his right shoulder at the smell of fishy blood.
I felt hurt.
But the wound healed quickly.
As if it never happened in the first place.
The pain also disappeared.
Only the soaked blood proved that Leo had been injured a little while ago.
Leo looked embarrassed.
“What on earth?”
