224 224 Eleven, Jill.

"Jicha, Duke's trying to get Jicha out of here."

I took a trip to a poor village and said so directly to the person.

Duke couldn't come to a poor village because of everything, and I was the only one who was supposed to come here.

"... well. Duke."

Jicha growls so with a look she seems nostalgic.

Duke, this is Hatsuya's nephew. I guess I have a lot of memories I don't know.

"Out?"

"But what happens to this village when the master is gone?

Rebecca opens her mouth before Jicha answers.

"Yes, how long do we have to swing by the nobles?"

Nate, next to Rebecca, also pinches his mouth.

Nate is the captain of this village. I learned of his strength when I fought Alicia before, but he's a pretty usable person.

In the first place, I was surprised there was a squad in this village.

... surely this village is getting stronger. Alicia Tochi changed this village. The village that was so obsolete now looks lively.

After all, Alicia is amazing. She gives all the triggers.

Still looking ahead to Jicha, who is worried without saying anything.

"I didn't want to think of a village like this as my home,...... but not now. It's all because of Alicia. You saved my life and got me out of this village.... healed Rebecca's burns and stopped the necrosis, giving her a chance to be the savior of this village. I gave Jicha my eyes, and made him the one who leads this village. It wouldn't have happened without Alicia. … so I want to live up to Alicia's expectations. Her endless upliftment gives me courage."

I put everything I had in my mouth at once. Everyone listened to me in silence.

I didn't think I'd talk so much myself. But when I think of Alicia, nature and words overflow.

I can't thank her enough. She is my hope.

"Jill, you've grown up"

That's what he said, he strokes my head gently.

I like these hands. [M] I'm coming back here again because you recognize me as a grown man.

"It's time for me to move on, too."

Jicha shrugged like she was ready.

"Let's get out of here, this village."

Only his voice echoes in the small room. Everyone solidifies into that serious word.... This day is finally here.

Nobody says anything, just waiting for Jicha's word to come out next.

"You can't change anything if you're afraid to move on."

"What's gonna happen to us?"

Nate stares sharply at Jicha.

"You're leaving, too."

"Us too?

"How do you do that? This guy may have some magic pills he got from the noble greats, but how are we supposed to get out of this village!

Nate, who exploded his anger, raises his voice.

I do get a pink liquid called Abel from Arnold, so I can come and go to this village. But of course there are more people in this village who don't feel comfortable about it.

I'll get it from the king.

"... you're just gonna go first, Grandpa."

"Will definitely come back"

"Why don't you just say that and abandon us? Everyone wants to leave this village. My grandfather is a former nobleman. There's no way I'm not jumping at such a good story."

Don't underestimate me.

The air changed in an instant with that one word of Jicha.

Pressured by too much majesty. Nate also opens his eyes and solidifies.

I don't know Konagi. I could see the essence of a former prince with an ambitious, calculated and genius brain.

Was Alicia aware of this majesty from the beginning?... I remain unbeaten by her from start to finish.

Listen to us with that in mind.
