I'll tell you again, I have the mark of a brave man
"I believe that bravery is not a sign, but the heart of it. A kind heart to help the animals in the mountains, and even helped me when I was attacked by thugs.
I'll help anyone who comes along.
"It's not true. This world is more complicated than you think.
Lunamaría says with a sigh, and Vandal nods in agreement.
It's true. People are colder than you think. Will will learn that on this journey. But--
"But?
"You get to know the warm side of the world. It's a shitty world, but rarely are there good people who give you the illusion that the world is not a place to leave.
I guess that means there are girls like Luna Maria.
Yes. Not many priestesses are this pure, but there are others like her.
And Lunamaria's face tinted, but she didn't argue. It's time to leave.
Well, I guess I'll be leaving now.
When Lunamaria said that, the gods looked at me with regret.
They don't move, but they still wave at me until I'm out of sight.
After we're gone, the gods murmur in a sorrowful tone: "Oh, little Will has departed.
Oh, sweet Will has departed.
Millia's disappointment is tremendous.
She is more depressed than the last time she had a grey hair.
Even the daring Ronin shrugs his shoulders.
"...... I'm burnt out.
But Vandal was the only one who kept a relatively cool head.
...... Well, what was a journey can't be helped. I just hope you come back with more.
Vandal sums it up and returns to the lab.
The two of them criticize the harshness of the situation, but Vandal doesn't seem bothered by it.
He just staggers off into the middle of nowhere. He looks quite shocked on the inside.
The two gods let out a light smile at the sight.
Milia carries Vandal on her shoulder and Ronin holds up a bottle of wine and says.
Hey, old man. Hey, old man. Let's drink today.
What do you mean. I've been studying--
The Vandal's words stopped as an unexpected person responded.
Even Milia, who doesn't usually drink with me, said, "Let's have a drink.
I have no choice but to drink, I thought to myself.
They're right, you won't be able to do anything today.
You'll return home and have a drink, but on the way, you'll notice that Milia has noticed something.
"Speaking of which, where's Reus? I'd like to invite him too.
It was the Vandal who answered the question.
"Leus is a raven circling in the sky. He will want to stare at Will until we leave the sanctuary.
"It's not fair. We're putting up with it.
Well, come on. We've been monopolizing Will for the past ten days.
Milia backs down as Ronin makes a rare defense.
"Well, okay, ......, Reus, see to it that Will is okay.
Miria grumbled and took a gulp of the House of the Gods' highest drink.
You are more than capable of drinking than Ronin, the drunkard.
Meanwhile, circling in the sky, Reus looks down at the earth, leaning into the wind.
There are two little dots.
Will and Lunamaria.
We've already walked quite a distance and it looks like we'll be leaving the godspace safely.
Reus was very tempted to follow them, but he stopped short.
Reus is the closest to the old god among the new gods.
The old gods must not leave the divine realm.
He should be in the heavens.
They must not interfere too much with the earth.
Hence the seclusion here at Table Mountain, where he spent his days meditating.
Remembering this, Reus circled into the sky and flew straight back to the mountain--
They followed Will and his friends without a hitch.
It is true that the gods had an unwritten law against interfering in earthly affairs, but there was no law against flying in the sky.
It would be permissible to watch your beloved son from above.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of this new law.
...... Ronin and Milia will grumble, but that's just one of the benefits of being the master of the mountain. You picked up my Will.
Leus let out a sigh and flapped his wings further and flew through the air.
