I start to see the head of the sun snugly on the horizon.

Early in the morning we gathered in the courtyard of the Williams family. It's Henri, Duke and me.

Today is the day Tototsuki comes out of that village.

Happiness, I have a little anxiety with excitement. If the king does anything, I don't have the power to protect you now.

"Duke, promise me you'll protect Ji-chan."

I said that looking him straight in the eye. Duke nods quietly.

The truth is Duke also said he wanted to go to a poor village, but I stopped him. The situation is not yet fragrant for him to go. There are still plenty of people who hate the nobility furiously.

Of course, Alicia is also a nobleman, but she is unusual. There's a lot of difference between Alicia, who rebuilt that village, and a prince who's never been to that village.

I know that just because Duke never came to a poor village doesn't mean he didn't do anything, but everyone in the village doesn't think so. And Duke figured it out, too.

"Nice to meet you."

I nodded deeply at Duke's words, and Henri and I looked at each other before I left.

Getting to a poor village takes a lot of time.

When I think Alicia was running with this distance with a book, I'm freaked out. What kind of punitive game was she playing on her own? No matter how much I care, I often come to poor villages as I do every night.

I walked forward thinking about it. [M]

"Ji-chan!

When I got to the village, I rushed to my place. [M]

Everyone was out early in the morning to see him off. Everyone doesn't seem to want to let go of this village hero.

But we have to get out of here. To free everyone from this village...

"Drink this, let's get out of here"

Jicha answered after taking a breath.

"Shall we?"

From my hand, I took the bottle and drank Abel all at once. A slightly thinner and pink liquid remains at the bottom of the bottle.

As for you, you'll be free. We can finally get out of this village.

My heart beats loudly with dokundokun. I was excited about my liberation. [M]

I am not looking forward to seeing how it will change the situation in this country.

"I'm a little nervous to see him..."

That's what I say, move your feet toward the fogged wall. I'll follow you. [M]

That guy, that probably means the king.

I wonder if it's the first world outside in years. Unlike me, Jicha has come to this village since she found out about the outside world.... You know how to live a royal life, but you've often endured such a life.

I stared at your big, successful back with that in mind.

Everyone feels the gaze watching us from behind. It would be a lie to say there was no resentment jealousy gaze, but most people seemed happy.

More so than before, but this village is cloudy in the air, always dark, with a strange odor to nose.

Once you're out there, most people won't want to come back.

Jicha returned to a world with the sun for the first time in decades.
