“Oh, and you can rest more in Hiraria. “I’ll give you free lodging for a week.”

Matapju, who was chewing on the cake, suddenly brought up such a story.

Lightly, as if it was no big deal.

Dawn laughed. The old man’s unique, plain, yet obvious kindness was always enjoyable.

But fun is fun, and Dawn shook her head.

“Thank you for your kindness. Tower owner, but we will leave as soon as the train is repaired.”

“what? “So quickly?”

Tomas was startled. Hiraria’s station was scheduled to return to normal this morning.

Unlike the West, which was half devastated, it was thanks to the Knight Commander and Sancho’s hard work.

“if… But what about aftercare? If that’s the case, don’t worry. “I’m not tactless enough to ask a customer to do something like that.”

“No, no. That’s not the case. I resolved all my personal reasons for coming to Hiraria, and most of all… “Because the Olympia preliminaries are right around the corner.”

As Dawn waved her hand and talked about Olympia, Tomas tapped her forehead.

“Oh, look at my mind. Now that I think about it, he was your student, right? I forgot about it because of the fight… .”

He paused, glanced at Seti, and then quietly said, ‘Young people these days…’ ‘ he muttered.

Immediately after, Seti gave Tomas the reaction he wanted. So, I giggled and leaned my head on Dawn’s shoulder.

This is a completely different look from when he raised his voice over transaction costs just a moment ago.

This was thanks to the conclusion of the transaction on terms that both parties were satisfied with. She invested her surplus funds left behind by Dawn Quini Cowan into the restoration of Hyraria, and in return she agreed to receive an elite kaiju in Vinberya’s Orb.

It was a bonus that I personally provided the dwarves’ contact information to prevent the Korean government from interfering with the restoration project and benefiting from it.

Anyway, after smelling the dawn for a moment, Seti changed the subject.

“I’m telling you just in case, don’t prepare a farewell party.”

Tomas was shocked and narrowed his eyes. It was such an obvious reaction, and so was the tone of speech that followed.

“What is this farewell party? Do I seem like such a thoughtless person? Even if we put all our effort into normalizing the city, it won’t be enough… ! “We will hold a memorial service for the victims tonight.”

“I saw a lot of alcohol and ingredients piled up in the kitchen.”

“Oh, that’s it… Well, it’s not a party for you, it’s a party for all of us who won.”

“I helped move the liquor boxes, and Gasol said it was a party for us, right?”

“what? It’s not enough to ask customers to do things, so you blew it all? These idiots… .”

This time, Seti and Dawn smiled at the same time. Tomas gave up trying to maintain his dignity and sighed deeply.

“Anyway, I’m thinking of holding a party in the evening, so come and make a toast and leave.”

“… .”

“You couldn’t even reveal that you saved everyone… “If I can’t do this, my conscience will prick me and I won’t be able to sleep.”

“Then I can’t help it. “I’ll see you in the evening.”

Just as Dawn was about to get up from her seat with Seti, the Mage Tower spoke one last word.

“Oh, and before you leave, go see Ekemo. “I thought I had something to tell you.”

***

Dawn walked straight to the room where Ekemo was. When he arrived at the door, he tried to knock first. But before that, the door creaked open and a voice was heard.

“Please come in.”

What are wizards? Dawn gave Seti a look telling her to go to her room first, then she went inside alone.

I saw Ekemo diligently writing something, relying on the sunlight streaming in from the window. On half of his face is a black tattoo that I hadn’t seen until last night… There was a label for criminals.

As Dawn stared at the brand, Ekemo put down his pen and stroked his face and said.

“… It is a tattoo symbolizing a sinner. I asked you to engrave it. “It may be primitive, but there is nothing more efficient than this to remind us of our sins.”

“… .”

In times like this, what should I answer? Goes well? Are you sincerely apologizing? Either way, it was strange, so Dawn just stayed silent.

And perhaps understanding those feelings, Ekemo smiled slightly and said.

“First of all, let me say thank you. Dawn, thank you so much. Thanks to you… There were less than 100 casualties. “This is nothing short of a miracle.”

About 100 casualties. Among them, the number of dead was only double digits. Thanks to this, Magic Tower was able to minimize the incident…

“… “If it weren’t for you, no one would have been hurt or killed.”

Dawn pointed out as she sat across from Ekemo. Ekemo did not deny it.

“Yes, it’s all my fault.”

Although he could have blamed fate, he did not do so. It was a good sign. Atonement begins with facing one’s sins.

Dawn did not judge him, but quietly looked into his eyes.

As silence grew between the two, Ekemo took out a small leather bag from under the desk and spoke.

“Open it.”

Dawn accepted the bag with a puzzled look. She then carefully checked the items contained within her.

A book titled [3 lines of modern electric current magic], a small notebook, and a tightly sealed letter.

Before Dawn could ask what all these were, Ekemo explained.

“The magic book was written by Tomasi himself. “You’ve already seen it, right?”

Unusual electric current magic, including Ampere’s Light. As Dawn nodded, Ekemo added.

“Originally, Tomasi was going to give it to me… He said he couldn’t give it to me because he was embarrassed. I had no choice but to tell it to you. “If you find it difficult to write, give it to Salome.”

“… .”

“And the notebook… I wrote about what I know about fate. “It will be useful to you.”

Dawn secretly checked her notebook. Inside was written something similar to the future notebook written by the author.

If you compare the two, you might be able to get some useful information… After taking her books and notebooks into her inventory, Yeomyeong asked, holding up her last remaining letter.

“Then what is this letter?”

“that… This is a letter I really want you to deliver. “A letter from a foolish student to his teacher.”

Ekemo seemed embarrassed and could not say any more. Dawn asked, silently taking her letter and placing her hand on the armrest of her chair.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“What more can a sinner like me say…” Oh, no. “I have one favor to ask.”

“… “Please?”

“I’ll live to my heart’s content.”

“… ?”

“Follow your own will, not according to someone else’s laws or demands, freely… “Live like that.”

I said something. Dawn didn’t answer right away and got up. And as she left the door she answered:

“I’m already living that way.”

Just – the door closed. Ekemo stared at the spot he left for a while, then picked up the pen again.

[Dear friends, dear leader of the Holy Knights… ]

It was something fate did not call for.

***

The Dumea family’s victory party, which started with Seti’s toast and applause, was not fancy, but peaceful.

The food was delicious and the drinks were sweet.

No one was drunk and shouting, but no one was hiding their joy.

A simple but memorable party.

Except for Salome being scolded by Yeo-myeong while giving a speech that applied Goebbels’ speech to show the dignity of the family heir – she protested that Yeo-myeong seemed more like a Nazi when she understood this – the party went on without any particular problems.

And by the time the drunk Gasols returned to their rooms and Tomasi, who had received an emergency call, ran to the magic tower.

So, after the party that started in the evening continued past midnight, Dawn and the others got up.

He greeted everyone he met and headed out of the mansion.

“… Are you leaving without even saying goodbye?”

Salome, who followed him late, asked in a low voice. Dawn shrugged her shoulders.

“We’ll meet again anyway, okay?”

The answer to those words came not from Salome’s mouth, but from the old woman’s mouth.

“You sound just like my father.”

Current head of the Dumea family. She was waiting at the entrance to the mansion with Gasol, as if she had expected Dawn and her party to leave like this.

“He doesn’t know the feelings of those who stay and wait.”

“… .”

Dawn said nothing. What would he do between her father, who had gone into hiding because he did not want to be seen in tatters, and his daughter who was waiting for him?

And the current head of the family, seeing that dawn, smiled slightly.

“Looking at your reaction, fortunately, it looks like you haven’t achieved Buddhahood yet.”

“… “Yes, you don’t look fine.”

That explanation was enough. The current head of the Dumea family did not pry any further, but quietly looked at her daughter and her granddaughter in turn, then placed her hand on his shoulder.

“If you bring tears to my granddaughter’s eyes… know?”

“… grandma?!”

Regardless of Salome’s fright, the matriarch’s eyes as she looked at the dawn resembled her father’s. Wisdom and deep understanding hidden beneath slyness.

Facing that, Dawn smiled and answered without realizing it.

“yes. But when you need it… “I will especially admonish you if you follow the Nazis.”

“Oh, that can’t be helped. Please take care of me.”

“yes?!”

Then Salome was even more surprised than before. The matriarch nodded her head as if satisfied.

“See you next time.” “Benefactor of the Dumea family.”

Dawn and Seti bowed their heads and then led the embarrassed Salome out of the mansion.

In front of the main gate, Sancho, the knight commander, and a familiar magic carriage were waiting.

The wizard in the driver’s seat of the carriage waved his hand as soon as he saw Dawn.

“Oh, it’s good to see you again! “I’m glad you’re alive.”

Yeo-myeong, who knew what he had done in that mess, grinned and got into his carriage.

“Yes, nice to meet you too. “You’re still alive.”

“Oh my, of course I have to live. How much money do you have saved? Oh, and. The waiting fee is $150. “I waited at the entrance to this mansion for three hours.”

“… .”

I’ve never called you before? One step before he could answer, the carriage window opened and an unexpected person stuck his head out.

“I called you.”

A man with a sallow face… It was the blue execution coffin of the Magic Tower, Balmak. Not only Dawn, but also Seti and Salome looked at him with bewildered faces.

“… “Aren’t you busy?”

“I’m busy. Cleaning up the bodies, organizing documents, filling the empty seats in the Senate… But now that I think about it, there are two more executioners besides me?”

“… .”

“So, I decided to see you off to the academy.”

In the end, it was said that they were going to use Dawn as an excuse to fool around.

While the knight commander, Seti, and the others were shaking their heads and getting on the carriage, Balmak added another word.

“Oh, and I’m sorry, but will they pay the waiting fee? “I left her purse behind when I ran away.”

“… .”

While Salome was muttering obscenities clearly in German, Dawn took out money.

***

A building used as a temporary magic tower owner’s room.

“You’re leaving.”

Sabina, who was looking out the window, muttered as she saw a train ready to move in the distance.

Tomas, the magician who was drinking coffee like water in front of her, turned his head to follow her gaze.

I could see the train and station sparkling through the darkness of dawn. Perhaps it was because of the time, but the sound of the train before departure seemed to be heard up to here.

“Is it okay if I don’t see you off?”

Sabina asked. It was a voice full of emotion, just as it was during the revolution.

Tomasi looked out the window for a moment and shook his head.

“What about seeing off? We’ll meet again anyway.”

“… “You don’t know fate.”

Tomas opened his eyes wide when he heard the answer, but then shook his head.

“No, we will meet again. clearly.”

A magic tower lord who believed in fate and became corrupted, and a magic tower lord who lived without caring about fate. The two people felt a certain comical emotion at the change in each other’s positions.

“Do you believe him? “You didn’t even believe in fate?”

“No, it’s not like that… “In my experience, people who invest money never die easily.”

After making a meaningless joke, Tomas watched the train depart.

And until the train turned into a dot and was no longer visible, I quietly and silently said goodbye with only my eyes.
