Towards me who was being stubborn in my opinion, Dy raised the corner of his lips with half-opened eyes.
[Rei is also saying it like this, we’re going to Yodelia Kingdom. Isn’t it fine for you guys to stay in a safe place and tremble?]
When he sneered provocatively, Alf looked as if he was going to raise his voice again, but Ciel intervened and expresses his mind.
[Diremolo, I’m also going. If we leave things as it is, I feel that something unbelievable will happen. I want to confirm the truth.]
Ciel who saw the severity of the situation if the monster zone disappears, tells us that he’s going with us. The Dragonian will also accompany us.
[…I’m going as well.]
[Ragna-dono!]
Why even you, to Alf who looks shocked, Ragna quietly speaks.
[Rei’s decision is firm, and I want to protect those who Rei wants to protect. I will also lend my strength.]
[Ragna, thank you.]
Perplexity and worry spread on Alf’s face, and he looks at me asking me why.
[Rei…why won’t you understand?]
[Come with us, Alf, let’s go and persuade your older brother.]
[But it’s too dangerous, your safety can’t be guaranteed.]
[Even if it’s dangerous, you will definitely regret it if you don’t go. And won’t it be even more dangerous if a war breaks out?]
[We can just hide in a place where it’s safe.]
[I don’t want that. After coming to this world, I don’t want the people who took care of me to be slaughtered.]
Unable to move each of our opinions to the same wavelength, heavy silence once again fill up the room.
That’s when the married couple returned and Cis started pouring tea. It seems she was serving a nice-smelling herb tea, our feelings slightly calmed down.
After serving us, who aren’t having a conversation, tea, Cis asks Ciel in her usual tone.
[Ciel-chan, have decided to leave again?]
[That’s right.]
[Of course, Ciel-chan is already an adult, after all, you’re not going to stay at home forever, huh.]
It wouldn’t have been weird for Ciel to be treated as a child considering the elves’ age, but Cis lonesomely but proudly recognized his growth.
Cis hugs Ciel and Darrel is watching his wife and son lovingly.
[Please come home again whenever.]
[They will definitely come back. Then show us your lively face and make mama feel assured. Of course, together with Rei-cahn and companions, too.]
[Yeah, we’re going, Tou-san, Kaa-san.]
Seeing Ciel’s solid determination before his eyes, Alf’s expression wavered.
[Ciel…]
The golden-haired elf who was called shrugged his shoulders. Ah, his movement just now was just like his father.
[Even you understand, don’t you? Nothing will change even if we stay here. Especially because you have a connection with the royal family, there’s a high chance that the place you run to will be involved. If so, it’s better to leave this place.]
On Ciel’s deduction towards Alf, I also add some words.
[Let’s go, Alf. I hope Alf will lend me his strength.]
After a very long silence, closing his eyes as if he has given up, the indigo blue-haired swordsman solemnly nodded.
[I understand, I will be your strength.]
[Thank you!]
[However, please promise that you will never leave our side no matter what. To not disappear again without telling anyone like yesterday.]
[I promise you! I will absolutely not act on my own.]
Thus, we’re on our way back to Yodelia Kingdom.
