"Our adventuring group... ends today."
"Depressing words? This is not a depressing statement, it's just stating a fact."
"Heh~, you are still too young..."
"Well, this kind of thing happens all the time. With people like us, one day we'll disappear quietly into some dangerous corner."
"Don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. No one could have predicted such a sudden change here."
"They won't blame you for their own deaths."
“… …”
"Haha, that's really sharp~!"
"But you're right. Even though I said it nicely, I'm still a little unwilling..."
"How long have you been with us?"
"Has it been that long? I remember back then, you were just a nobody, yet you brazenly wanted to join us. Haha, haha, it's been... so long."
"...You asked me if there was anything I wanted to do?"
"Who knows? I rarely think about this question. Don't be fooled by our superficial appearance, but we are basically people who follow the crowd. If you really want to say it."
"When I first started, I dreamed of buying imperial citizenship one day, living the most enviable life, and never having to wander again..."
"Haha, I was really young back then."
"Oh, I'm really going to die, right? I'm starting to talk too much."
"you?"
"No... You've always been different from us. If any of us survive, it will probably be you."
“… …”
"If you can survive, don't do this anymore and find a stable job..."
"Alright! Now that I've said my last words, it's time to give it one last try!"
In the strange light, a blurry figure walked into the depths of darkness. Behind "him?", the back of a woman followed closely.
... ...
“… …”
Hulim opened her eyes drowsily, her brain still seemed to be in a dream, and she was not awake for a long time.
I just stared at the ceiling for a few seconds.
"Are you awake?"
A voice echoed in the room.
Hulim slowly turned her head and saw a beautiful elf sitting by the window, leisurely sipping scented tea.
If you can ignore the fact that this is your bedroom, it's a nice scene. If you can ignore the fact that this is your bedroom...
"Good morning~, Hulim, you're still staying in bed today~." The beautiful elf said with a smile, which seemed like a greeting but was actually a teasing remark.
“… …”
Hulim sat up from the bed slowly.
I casually smoothed my hair which was a little messy from sleeping.
Then he sighed leisurely:
"Ah... why?"
"Hmm~?"
The elf smiled and a question mark popped up.
"Why do you always come into my room so early in the morning without permission!?"
“Is this some kind of banquet hall—!?”
“Hey~.”
Irus looked "wronged".
"But, but Hulim's defenseless sleeping face..."
“Ahhhhh!”
Hulim covered her forehead with her hands, not knowing what to say.
Although I had experienced them breaking in early in the morning and disturbing people's sleep before, it was not too bad. However, the situation has completely changed since they came back from the east this time.
Every day!
Every morning, when I opened my eyes, there were people making noise in the room! Sometimes there were several people there at the same time!
Especially the elf in front of me!
Every day, there are new and different appearances!
"That's enough... Do you have anything important to say? If not, you can leave now."
"Hey, how boring~ Who said Hulim is so cute now..."
Irus grumbled.
"Would you please leave?"
"It's business!"
“… …”
"Ahem, the headquarters has officially decided to relocate."
"Yeah?"
Hulim got up from the bed.
He said this while indifferently rejecting Irus's request to help change clothes.
"We're still getting ready to leave."
"Well, what a pity..."
"?"
"Ahem, no! After all, the threat from the Demon King's advance corps has been eliminated, so recovering the lost territory is naturally on the agenda."
"There will probably be a large-scale cleanup operation that will take two or three months. Ah! We don't have to participate. It will be handed over to a few brave men for training anyway."
"Is that so? Looks like I'll have a long period of rest then. Oh, and the new headquarters should have been decided on, right?"
"Still Bangisto for now."
"Bongi..." Hulim's voice paused.
"There's nothing left there."
"Well, this is indeed a problem, but considering the strategic location of Bangisto, it is indeed the most suitable place."
"Besides, if it's just a matter of a city being destroyed, we just need to rebuild it. Don't underestimate this coalition that has gathered the power of the entire continent. It only takes three days to build a city."
"snort... ..."
Huh~!
A gust of magical wind lifted Hulim's messy hair.
When the wind stopped, her hair had become shiny and neat again, which made the elf next to her have his eyes sparkling and look eager to make something happen.
