Unnamed Most Powerful Mage

The day after I asked Mr. Yankle where the limestone was, I was coming to the place.

They're barely far from the village there and rarely leave demons and wild animals.

The surrounding area is exposed to dirt by a cut cliff.

If it was a rainy day, it could possibly collapse, but lately it was just a sunny day, so it would be fine.

I pick up and collect about 5cm to 10cm of limestone rolling around.

We were collecting limestone until sundown, but it's going to take quite a few days to secure the amount of cement covering all of the kitchen floors in the house.

I went home that day with as much as I could hold.

And from the next day, I sent every day back and forth to the grasshoppers around the house until lunch, to mow the occasional growing grass in the fields, and then to where limestone could be taken without going to the river.

When I woke up in the morning rubbing my eyelids, I heard my father say, 'It's going to rain today'.

I walk to the front door and look out.

Then it was dark outside and the sky was covered by black clouds.

I'm really sorry to hear that I might have been able to secure the amount of limestone I needed after two more trips.

Well, you won't even have to hurry.

If it rains, it's dangerous where limestone is rolling.

I don't think it would help if the cliff collapsed.

No matter how close you say to town, it won't help you if you get buried alive.

While I was doing that, it started raining,

"I'm glad I didn't"

One shrugged and I decided to spend the day in the house.

Gobbling around in the room and crushing my time, I heard a knock at the door of the house.

My dad goes out to see what's going on in the field, and my mother cooks, so naturally I'll deal with it.

I'll leave the door open when I get down to the kitchen.

Then Mr. Yankle stood there.

"Yuma, you or just great. Has my daughter Lilina come to see you?

I lean my neck.

I've never seen Lilina come to see me.

"... no, you haven't come?

"Well, I knew..."

"What's wrong with you?

"Actually, my daughter is a familiar girl and doesn't like to put emotions on the table. You want to be friends, but you try to talk with your fists without being honest. That's why I haven't had any friends in forever."

"Really?"

You're not good at putting emotions on the table or anything, are you? I'm such a victim of something like that.

I apologize and they told me until I lost it? You can't be my friend.

I thought it was more or less a fist-talking or some bloodthirsty protagonist...

"So my daughter said she was going to visit Yuma at your house to worry about me and my wife. Normally, I wouldn't believe it, but Yuma, I promised you, so if I was reassured that maybe..."

Uh, I see.

Indeed, you had Mr. Yankle tell you where the limestone was falling on the terms of getting along with Lilina.

I hadn't even been to the river at all, so I hadn't encountered it and forgotten.

"... Yuma, do you have any idea where my daughter is?

I remember seeing Lilina several times in the river.

Maybe Lilina's in the river.

"Well, I've been on the river with Lillina a couple of times, so maybe I'll be there."

"Right! Thanks for your help."

Mr. Yankle immediately ran towards the river.

And instead, my father came back home.

"What's up, Yuma? You're gonna get wet standing here, aren't you?

My father thought something about going inside the house.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yankle's daughter headed towards the valley, but Yuma made any promises?

I shake my head listening to my father.

I didn't make that promise. First of all, I haven't even seen him here lately.

"Well, that's good, 'cause I've been watching you hold something similar to the white stone you're collecting for the last few days. I just thought we were hanging out together..."

I stood up in the middle of my father's story.

In this rain, headed where the cliffs are?

That's... pretty dangerous.

Whatever, I don't know when the soil will collapse on the peeling cliff without the roots of the plant.

"I'm going out a little bit!

I'll leave the door open and go outside the house.

The wind isn't that strong, but the rain is getting pretty strong.

From behind: 'Yuma, what's wrong?' My father asks me, but I cannot tell you to gather more adults than I have no certainty.

First of all, it would seem strange for a child to be able to predict danger.

"Damn! ……

I run to the valley where the limestone is falling in bad shape.

And I found Lillina.

"Yuma-kun..."

Lilina had limestone in both hands.

And dye his face bright red.

"Lilina! This place is dangerous. We'll be back in the village in a minute!

I grab Lillina's arm.

Was it abrupt? The limestone Lilina was holding fell zero over the ground.

Lilina tried to pick it up, but I pull Lilina.

"It's dangerous here, I don't know when the cliff will collapse. So more than that stuff." It's not like that! ……

I was flabbergasted by Lilina's unusual reaction.

Because Lilina in front of me was pounding tears.

"... because... I've done a lot of terrible things to Yuma... because I thought we could make it up to Yuma by giving her the white stone she's been collecting so hard..."

I lay my eyes down.

I tried to get along with Lillina in the form of a contract, but Lillina wasn't.

I guess Mr. Yankle was just as clumsy as he said.

Still, I'll have to pursue the throwaway line about apologizing and losing it later......

"I get it. From today on, we're friends. So let's just go back to the village."

Lilina finally nodded to my words.

And as I tried to get out of the valley, the snuff and unpleasant vibrations came through my feet.

I turn my gaze toward the cliff.

At the same time, the cliff collapsed.

"Lilina!"

I scream Lilina's name and thrust Lilina full of force out of range of unreachable dirt and sand crashing from the cliff.

Then Lilina looked at me with a surprised look, but I swallowed up and lost consciousness in the massive amount of soil that had been falling apart as it was.
