At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"Ha... ha... it was really there..."

I was half-hearted just to hear rumors, but it really happened.

There is a house at the foot of the northern tree sea. In the house, one of the living heroes lives in hiding.

I saved the country about ten years ago, an elite unit under the King's command.

One of the eight heroes of the Wise King and his men, who has salvaged all the demerits of the former King, who was called the Fool King.

Alchemist, the Mansion where Lady Nehres is said to live.

"Yikes."

My arm hurts. I was attacked several times by demons by the time I got here.

Even though he hadn't entered the tree sea yet, he also ran into Ghosduert and fled with his life.

I thought I was dead then, but I managed to escape and it helped.

They found a prey other than me that seemed easy to catch and distracted me.

But because of that, my body is worn out.

I think it would be great to just come to this foot and live in hiding.

And there's a house like this. The rumors were true. This is worth the worn out.

Only breathe in front of the door, tap gently to call.

"Smitty, is anyone there?

Speaking up and waiting for a while, a boy came out of the house.

He is in good shape inside. Skinny but feels like I'm working out.

Was it Master Nelles' small use or his apprentice?

"Uh, what can I do for you?"

"I apologize for the indignation, is Lady Nehres home?

The boy puts his neck over my words. Wait, that reaction is no way.

I thought I'd die to get here, but I want you to give me a break about that.

"There's no one here named Nelles..."

They replied that I didn't want the best to happen right now.

It was pretty life-threatening on the road to getting here, but this...

But I can't help but be depressed here. Because he has nothing to do with it.

"Really? Sorry for the inconvenience. Bye."

"Oh, well, wait a minute"

When I try to leave with disappointment, the boy pulls me back.

What is it?

"You're hurt, aren't you?"

"Yeah, yeah."

"You can't keep it that way. Please go inside and treat him. From what I've seen, it seems to have been very difficult, so please take a break and go.

That's what the boy tries to get me into the house.

... will it be all right to be honest with you?

No, there's no such thing as a strange plan for a boy who doesn't even go this far.

Let's just honestly say I get a favor.

"You know all about injuries, where you're at?

The boy prepares tea and asks, creating an atmosphere somewhere loose.

You're hurt. You're hitting too many things, and you have a lot of abrasions. I haven't figured it out myself.

"I'm sorry, but there are too many things I'm not sure about"

"Then it would be quicker to do it all over your body..."

"What, the whole body?

Boy, are you gonna let me take my clothes off?

I'd rather not be naked in front of a guy, even though he's a boy opponent on a boulder.

With that in mind, the gentle light enveloped my body. Is this healing magic?

"Please just hold still for a moment"

That's what the boy says and heals me. I looked at it flashly.

This boy was unchanging and healed all my wounds as I saw him.

Can this child use high-ranking witchcraft as usual?

"Note... oh..."

"Is there something wrong?

The boy asks me, and I try to move things around to make sure.

I couldn't help but hurt earlier. My arm is completely healed. Who the hell is this girl?

Do you live alone in the back of this mountain?

No, isn't that in the boulder? There will just be no one but this boy right now.

There are signs that more than one person is living.

Wouldn't it be better to rely on this boy now than that?

There was no intended person, but if you can use all this sorcery, you should ask for help.

"Is the boy a magician?

"Hmm, what do you think? You don't really know yourself."

You can use all that magic, you're not a magician?

Is it that arm even though there is another main business?

No, let's not pry. I live in such a despicable place. I'm sure there are circumstances.

"But earlier healing magic was great"

"Thank you"

Praise the other day, a boy who laughs happily at Nicole. This girl is adorable.

No, no, not now.

"Boy, look at your healing magic, there's one thing I need you to do, will you listen to me?

Telling him so, the boy opens his mouth with his neck tilted after showing a little thought.

"Does that have anything to do with the person you were talking about?

Of course. I came all the way here because it's relevant.

Unfortunately, no one was looking for him.

"The man I'm looking for is an alchemist. I'm a famous man, don't you know?

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about you."

Doesn't he know Master Nehres? Is it because I've been living behind these mountains all my life?

Even so, it's not like I've lived here for a long time. Perhaps there are some circumstances.

Nevertheless, I still can't go in there and ask.

"Really? I'm sorry, I'm not willing to make a fool of myself. I was just wondering."

"No, never mind."

"Thank you. I'll get back to you. I came to the famous alchemist to buy medicine. My mother is sick and I haven't been feeling well lately. I came to the house of rumors with the thought of straw, but the rumors were rumors. There wasn't anyone else who could make drugs that would work for my mother..."

"Cheng Cheng, is this for your mother?"

"Yes, so your healing magic earlier was wonderful. Would you look at my mother if I could? Of course I'll pay the gratuity. I'll give you the money I brought you to buy medicine."

"Money... ah!

The boy looked at the money I gave him and raised his voice after opening the moment.

Would that have been a small amount?

"You don't know anything about the value of money or the market..."

"To?"

When I asked for more information, I was told that I had lived here all my life and had not had the opportunity to spend gold and that I did not understand the value of gold.

What an isolated life.

That means the boy's been living here since he settled down around here.

I don't think so, but I don't feel like a lie because I talk to you.

But for that, the technology at home looks like there's a lot of great stuff.

Most of them have magic crystals and sculptures in the form of Queena, and the owners of this house seem to be collecting objects made by Stelle.

No, I can't have a hero's own thing on a boulder. It would be a imitation of the craftsmen who got permission.

"Well, that's good, let's go"

The boy, who was a little troubled, told me so with a good smile when he turned back to me.

Sure, but can I snort that easily?

It seems like it would be nice to offer a variety of other conditions.

"Is that good?

"But maybe it won't help, will it?

"I don't mind, I got rumors. I just want to thank a magician like you for helping me."

At least, better than nothing.

I know that magic also has a great potential for temporary healing, except maybe for a user as good as him.

As he went outside and waited for the boy, he was wearing something like a big barrel on his hip.

Because of Queena's design earlier, this must also be from Steel.

But the boy didn't bring anything else.

"Well, let's go. Can you give me directions, please?

"... boy, don't you want to dress up too lightly for anything?

"Huh?"

The boy sees this one with the face that he doesn't know what he was told.

This is the one who wants to look like that.

"The village closest to here is my village, but it will take at least three days. Do you have any preserved food?

"Oh, right, right"

Oh, right. Shit. Didn't this boy just say that? He said he lived here the whole time.

Then I don't know that.

Regretting what he had told me to blame, the boy showed how he had come up with something.

"Then why don't we go a little early, and your mother would like to help you soon?"

When the boy said so without worrying about my words, he held me up. It's also lighter than usual.

I'm not the heavier one, but the boy doesn't look that powerful either.

Or suddenly I was surprised by it.

"Oh, sorry after I did it, I'll hold it for a second"

"Mi, I know when I see it. What are you going to do?"

All of a sudden he's hugged, and the boy's face is in a hurry. What are you going to do, this girl?

Confused, the boy suddenly jumped up and stood on a tall tree.

"Hey, hey."

"Oh, excuse me. We are putting on physical strengthening and protection for you, so let's go all the way to the village with this. Which way should I go?

"And physical strengthening, huh? Shh, that's amazing. That way. Go that way."

The boy asks me, and I teach him the direction of the village in a hurry.

Then the boy crosses the tree with a pimp and heads in the direction I pointed.

Occasionally, a gust of wind runs from the boy's back, accelerating.

"Ha, it's like a ninja"

And the boy was talking about something in words he'd never heard. Is that the magic word?

"That's awesome... in a flash"

As much as I wondered what my struggle was, I was able to come back to the village lightly.

To my surprise, I was a little flattered.

"Which house is it?

"Oh, yeah, this way"

Return to sanity to the boy's words and guide him home.

Open the door of the house and speak to my mother.

"Mother, I'm home. Are you okay?"

When I walked into the house with my words on my way home, my mother was resting.

"You were asleep?"

Maybe it's better that way. It always seemed painful these days when I was awake.

The blood color is bad, and maybe I can't wake up.

I asked the villagers to take care of me while I was away, but they seemed to be doing me well as far as the house was concerned.

"Is this the one?

"Yeah, can you please?

"I'll just do it"

The boy has a serious look and begins healing magic on his mother.

When it was about ten minutes later, my mother's blood appeared to be getting better.

I don't know if it's easier in person because I'm asleep now, but at least I can see it's better than it was earlier.

"Ugh, I just tried to do what I could. At least I think it's better than earlier."

"Thanks boy! Look, I can tell! It's been a while since I've seen a mother with such a good complexion!

Enough, even if it hasn't completely healed.

I originally relied on rumors. I don't even want any more.

"Boy, are you sure? You did your job, didn't you?

The boy has said he doesn't need a thank you. But the boy's work is not as far-fetched as doing it for free.

I told her about it, but she told me she didn't need it on top of it.

"You don't have any use for it, do you?"

"But there's no trouble with money, is there?

"I know that. Well, if you find someone named Nelles, keep the money for when you buy medicine for them."

"Yes -"

When I tried to sincerely thank the boy for his words, I heard Cancun and the alarm.

It's not something as splendid as it is in the city, it's just the sound of metal thumping. That sounded dizzy.

I went outside, saw what was causing the escapees, and it solidified.

Such an idiot. Why is he coming down the mountain?

Never before has Ghosduert come out of the sea of trees.

No, yeah, I was attacked by that one right in front of the tree sea.

That's never going to happen given that.

Maybe I've just been lucky now and then.

We need to evacuate the boy and his mother.

"Boy, you're quite the user of magic, but that's dangerous. If you live in a tree sea, you know it. That is a demon that the Knights defeat in a group. I run away with my mother. You run away, too."

Stuck in words.

I was surprised that the boy took the blade out of something like a cartridge on his hips.

There is a pile-like object in the center, and the blade is spiraling toward the hand about the outward direction.

Is this a tech sword?

No, it's not, it's light and magical. This is a magic guiding technician sword!

"I'm going for a minute. I took that down once, so maybe I'll be fine."

Did you take that down? Oh, that's stupid.

That's not the kind of demon you can defeat on your own. That's not such an easy existence.

You must not let me go. That's a real monster.

But still, I wondered if this boy could do it.

A sword held by a boy. Magic guiding technician sword.

This is a hell of a weapon that's just activating it, falling down if you're a man in line.

At least that's what I hear.

The boy activates it without precautions and sets it up as normal.

Yes, the boy lives in a tree sea. You can't possibly not know that exists.

Yet this boy lives in that tree sea.

Doubts that didn't come out of the rush when we got there now come to mind.

"Boy... you..."

What the hell was that, before I uttered that question, the boy was already approaching the demon.

The demon tries to crush an imminent enemy. The boy cut it with a sword from the front in contrast.

"Mawale! Gakrasenken!

Words I had never heard sounded and the demon's arm blew away. I see the sword roaring around.

But still, the demon is not frightened and beaten by the boy with his remaining arms. But the moment I thought that fist hit the boy, the demon elbow jumped like a blast, his arm ripped off and flew.

The boy had at some point dived under his arms and poked his hands up.

Did you do that with your bare hands?

The demon still releases the kick without rest of the attack, but the boy is not on the spot already, and from where the boy was, several spears of dirt grew and broke the demon's leg. To that, I put magic through that demon.

I pass magic through demons who are said to be incapable of passing magic without so many magicians, causing considerable damage on them.

The demon jumped with his remaining power and tried to devour the boy with all his last uplift.

"Ugatte! Gakrasenken!

When the words were heard by my ears, there were no more demonic heads.

Later, it was the remnants of a magic blade that stuck its sword out where the demonic head was and a blade that fitted perfectly in the central pile, and from which it stretched, even the clouds pierced.

The boy left abruptly.

When he made sure the demon fell and wouldn't move, he waved at me and went back to the mountains.

I wonder what the hell he was. I feel like I was dreaming.

When I see that boy again one day, I want to say a proper thank you for the nagging.

I want boulders to give me a break already for going to that tree sea, so let's hope that boy comes to this village someday.
