Outside the tent, Mr. Nooga was preparing breakfast.
āMorning, thanks for the soupā
āNo.ā
Yesterday, apart from the soup for dinner, I made the soup so I could eat it the next morning.
Mr. Nooga is cutting the dried meat apart as he warms the pot of soup.
āGood morning!
I hear a cheerful voice from behind in the morning, and I can gently stroke my head with a pomp.
Mr. Ratlua feels a little more in contact since he found out I was being targeted.
I know youāre worried about me, but I feel something a little different from that.
Itās just not uncomfortable or uncomfortable.
I just feel a little bit, so I canāt figure out what that is.
āGood Morningā
Mr. Seiselk and Mr. Sifal also immediately come out of the tent and start having breakfast for everyone.
āYes thisā I feel strange as I receive the black bread I was given all the time.
I think Iām an outsider, but everyone in the blazing sword accepts me without any discomfort.
Eat with me as a matter of course and have my bread as a matter of course.
⦠stare at the black bread in your hand.
Iām worried about the organization, but Iām a little upset that I have company.
āThatās right, Seiselk. Iām off today.ā
āHa⦠ahhh, well, I canāt help itā
I wonder what it is?
Mr. Ratlua, are you off today?
Is that what happened during the crusade?
Iāve never heard of it⦠well, Iāve never been involved with a top adventurer before, and I wonder if I do.
āYou did it. You can stay with Ivy.ā
Could this be for me?\n
Iām glad to think about Mr. Meera, but I donāt think so.
āWell, Iām fine.ā
āThatās okay. I got permission from Seychelles.ā
Looking at Mr. Seiselk, he doesnāt seem to withdraw just shrugging his shoulders.
Is that okay?
You sure about that?
āI have nothing to worry about. Ratlua, weāll go get permission from the leader later.ā
āCopy that!ā
To Mr. Nougaās words, Mr. Ratlua seems happy.
Somehow, I bowed my head toward Mr. Seiselk.
Mr. Seiselk raises his hand lightly with a bitter laugh.
To be honest, Iām scared of Mr. Meera, so Iām comfortable with Mr. Ratlua being with me.
Ho, my strength fell out of my body.
He seemed more nervous about what was to come than he thought.
After some time after breakfast, Mr. Nouga and Mr. Ratlua head to explain to the crusader leader.
Are you sure? I drop him off at the back with the thought.
Ivy, Iām sorry.
āNo, Iām sorry Iām the one. Itās like putting Mr. Ratlua to rest.ā
āThatās not true. Rest is for Ratlua.ā
Huh?
For Mr. Ratlua?
ā⦠well, a lotā
āWhat?ā
For some reason, Mr. Seiselkās expression, which is always sober, turns into a bitter thing.
Iām surprised at that, and I stare.
You noticed my gaze, that look disappears and gives me a bitter laugh.
āWell, what do you say?⦠I was a little unstable knowing Ivy was being targeted by tissue. So Iām sorry, but you have to stay with me today.ā \nāReally? It helps because Iām comfortable with you too.ā
⦠From the look on Mr. Seiselkās face, I felt like maybe there was something there.
But it wouldnāt be a good thing for me to step in, as a child as soon as I knew him.
I donāt know if itās getting unstable, but Iām touching my head more often.
Maybe thatās for peace of mind.
āYeah, but if it gets hard, you can hit me.ā
āHit him, is it?
āYes, yes. Itās all right, because Ivy canāt snap as hard as she punches him.ā
I mean the look on Mr. Seiselkās face.
You said it was unstable, but itās something you can hit me with?
āIvy. What, my story?
āWhat kind of leader?
āI was sighing so big, but no problem!
That easy?
āIvy, youāre with me today!
āYes, Iām glad.ā
Drop off the Seiselks on their way to the crusade and clean up after breakfast.
Similar to yesterday, we head under the slime where we collect and dispose of garbage.
Collect trash from other adventurers along the way.
Then I felt uncomfortable around my neck.
Before checking around today, Iāll explore which direction the gaze is from.
⦠itās hard to understand.
The discomfort had disappeared when I let my gaze run all around me.
I was squeezed in the hand.
When I give you my gaze in surprise, Mr. Ratlua is looking at me and laughing.
āItās gonna be okay.ā
\nEasy, now theyāll notice.
Relax, itās okay.
Many times, chant in your heart.
Exhale for a long time and turn your gaze softly towards Mr. Meera.
āItās okay.ā
āHmm? Whatās going on?
The words in my heart seem to have spilled small.
Shake your head to the side and head under Mr. Meera.
Itās all right.
āGood morning, Ivy. I wonder why Ratlua is here.
