“A kid like me, unite the world…?” I muttered. “You must be crazy.” “Tch. You are so stubborn.” He uttered. “The same goes for you.” I retorted. He’s so stubborn to make me king. “I will cook yours now, Restia— you must be hungry.” The conversation we had made me fed-up, that’s why I find this chance to leave. Leaving him alone, Restia and Felix followed behind. ………………………………… As I’m cooking some fried rice, Restia, who has been staring at me from behind, finally speaks. “……Big brother, are we really going to leave…?” Restia asks. “…this island.” “…You know we can’t stay here. Our supplies won’t last long.” “…what if papa really came back?” “We could leave a message behind. You are my precious little sister, Restia— I can’t let anything happen to you.” “…did you forget about Ruby…?” “I would never. I will definitely find her, no matter what.” “Big brother…” Restia s

"Restia…!!!" While desperately calling my little sister's name as I woke up, I find myself lying on the sofa in the living room. "HAH— I can't breathe— HAH— HAH— Phew— HUFF… HUFF…" What's wrong with me…? Why am I this exhausted…? While looking around on the sofa, I repeatedly did some quick and shallow breathing to recover from the fatigue that occurred on my body. "Huff… R… Restia…" …My throat is so dry that I couldn't shout. Where is my little sis…? Restia, where are you…? "Guh…!" THUD! Mustering strength on my body, I did a flip to turn myself over— falling on the floor. "B— BIG BROTHER…!" 

"I'm sorry for not telling you about this, my daughter— your mother's death… is because she couldn't accept the death of your brothers and sisters." After hearing the story… Dómr's daughter— didn't feel as sad as I expected. Her expression feels more like something has finally been lifted from her. "…Ég skil ... faðir. Þakka þér fyrir." (…I understand, father. Thank you.) With that, she leaves the graveyard. "…Sigh. My daughter grew up so fast…" Dómr murmured after she left. "Thanks for letting me hear this story as well, Dómr," I said. "It's really important…" He then looks at me with a puzzled expression. "Why… is it that you think everything I've said is the truth…?" "Be

When I returned home at 3.49 am, I went to check on that man’s condition before going to bath.  His breathing, pulse, heart-beat, and temperature does not feel unusual. However, he had cold sweat all over his body that night.  A nightmare…? That’s good. His liveliness means he should be able to wake up by morning. With that, I took away the magic sealing knife that I placed on him. He feels better afterwards; I wondered why. I went to bath afterwards, washing off Ruby’s and Dómr’s scent on my body. I don’t want Restia to know that I went to meet them. Well, I don’t think I could hide it from her, though… At 4.08 am, I crawled into Restia’s bed and slept next to her. This way, she should be able to sleep better with me, giving her a sense of security. ……

"My, if it's isn't the weak little boy who fainted two days ago." The Snow Leopard Queen said to me. "Did you come here to bother my lady again?" Getting into the White Snake's territory is easier now ever since the last time. At least, we let the Snow Leopards know that Dómr's daughter is not here to play this time. Under their custody, they bring us directly to their queen. "Well, it's just as what you guess, haha," I replied. "…?" Seeming confused, the Snow Leopard Queen tilted her head and stared at me. "…Your face is the same, but your tone and speech… who on earth are you?" "Erm… what are you talking about?" I replied with an innocent look. "Don't try to play dumb." She uttered. "You are not the little boy I talked to two days ago." She's not buying it.
