After that, while I was busy fighting, she’d traveled to the Superd Village. After hearing what was going on, she used the teleportation circle to evacuate the residents and others to the town near the border… It was a close one. If Roxy, after returning to Sharia, had prioritized the ordinary teleportation circles rather than summoning the Magic Armor Version Zero, it would all have been for nothing. Luckily enough, Aisha had ended up covering Roxy’s mistake.

After hearing what was going on, she used the teleportation circle to evacuate the residents and others to the town near the border… It was a close one. Luckily enough, Aisha had ended up covering up for the teleportation circles after the fact... And it wasn't like it could've worked out any better.

From the street, I turned down a back alley. This alley, too narrow for carts, provided a tiny shortcut that I’d used often. Coming out of the alley, I could see my house. Byt was coiled tightly around the gatepost and opened the gate for me as I drew closer. I passed the garden and the slightly neglected garden. Dillo the armadillo spotted me and came to rub himself against my legs. I crouched down to rub his head, at which he rolled over to show me his belly. As I rubbed his tummy, he purred happily. He was a cute little guy.

Then, I heard a loud noise from the entrance to the house.

“Dada!” A little girl with hair the same color as mine came running out. It was Lucie. She came sprinting over like she was going to tackle me around the knees, so I crouched down to meet her. With a sizable thud, a ball of softness and warmth threw itself into my arms. This was unusual—she was always hiding behind Sylphie.

It was the day after the end of the battle had really sunk in, and I couldn’t relax. The battle with Geese was over, which was to say, the contract I’d made with myself was over, too.
We were done fighting. I only really came to appreciate that a day later; I was still as antsy as ever. The battle with Geese was over, which was to say, the contract I’d made with myself was over, too.
