『Yo….』

『It’s you again huh』

I’m wrapped up in a feeling as if I’m dreaming, even though I shouldn’t need sleep. I don’t know how many times I’ve got this, but I’m getting used to it. At least I’ve experienced this situation enough to not be distraught.

The place was the familiar white space. Standing there was a man I recognized. He was a stout man with silver hair, and was dressed in a kimono-like robe.

『Come to think of it, the Moon Festival was coming up huh』

I’ve heard that there’s a big Moon Festival held every year in the royal capital, but now it’s on an emergency. This year, it seems that only a simple ceremony will be held.

『Hey, who are you? Is the mysterious spirit inside me, is you? What are you? Are you Fenrir?』

『Sorry. I’ll get back to you on that next time』

『Didn’t you say you’d tell me the next time we met?』

『Whose fault is it you think it is…..? Anyway, things have changed a bit. It’s not safe to give you information about me. If I’m not careful, my memory will be…..』

『What do you mean?』

『Anyway, for now, listen to me』

『….Okay』

Hearing the serious tone of the man’s voice, I understood that it was some kind of urgent matter.

『But you look really tired, don’t you?』

The man, however, looked a little different from when I had met him before. I’m sure he looked a little more domineering or spirited expression back then…….

The man was now incredibly exhausted. He looked pale and had terrible dark circles under his eyes. Did he have hollow cheeks too?

『It’s a lot of things. Including the fact that there’s something unusual going on with you』

『What?』

『You know about it yourself, but you’re in a bit of a–No, it’s quite dangerous information』

『The, uh, mysterious voice huh?』

Something inside me were screaming at me to devour everything. Heaven and earth, gods and demons, people and beast, devour them all for nourishment, was it?

『That’s not all』

『Is there anything else?』

『Too many of it. I just don’t have the power to solve it right from here』

Then why did you bother to show up in here.

『Anyway, here’s what I want you to do, come to the Plains of the Demon Wolf within 20 days』

『….Do I have to go to the altar? In 20 days?』

『That’s right. Because in that period of time, the moon’s magic is still powerful』

The moon’s magic huh. I wonder if she’s a member of the Silver Moon Goddess’ family, since her power increases during the Moon Festival. I know it’s not the goddess herself, because he’s a man.

『So, that time, I’m going to reveal myself. And a whole lot more things too』

『Ah, Wait――』

The man just says it and disappears.

And at the same time as the man’s figure dissolves into the void, my vision became clearer. The white space disappears in an instant, and I’m back in our room at the inn.

Or rather, I’m not moving at all to begin with, and only my spirit is being called into that white space.

『Good grief! It’s so one-sided, every time!』

Nevertheless, I’ve heard some important information this time.

『The Altar of the Plains of the Demon Wolf huh』

It was the place where I first woke up in this world. I knew there was a secret there. Not only for the sake of Fran’s training, but also for myself, I now have a reason to go to the Plains of the Demon Wolf.

「……Master?」

『Fran, did I wake you?』

「….Nn. Something weird」

『Actually――』

I told her everything that had just happened. I’ve already told Fran all about the mysterious voices and the Fanatics when I cannibalized the Fanatics.

She was pretty worried, but I appeased her by saying there was nothing wrong about it…..

「We have to get to the plains!」

Well, this is what’s going to happen huh. After this, we planned to go and say hello to the head of the court physician, but I’m afraid she’s going to ignore that too.

『Wait a minute, we still have 20 days. We can travel to Alessa in a few days, and the Plains of the Demon Wolf are not that big. There’s no need to rush』

「But it’s dangerous, right?」

『That’s what he told me, but if it was a urgent matter of minutes and seconds, he would have said something more urgent. He’d say, Come to the altar right now』

So, I think we need to hurry, but we don’t need to rush.

『Besides, it’s better to say something to the higher ups first, right?』

「……I undertand」

She managed to understand me. I thought so…….No, I didn’t expect her to cut off the meal with the court physician so quickly. There were some important people here too, like the chief of the court physicians and the chamberlain, who praised Fran’s achievements, but they were almost completely ignored.

Maybe the meal was about 30 minutes long? I never thought for that Fran, would leave her meal……When asked why she was in a hurry, Fran told him that she had to go to Alessa, but for some strange reason, he was convinced.

Apparently, he had received a secret message from the adventurer’s guild, and they thought she was heading to Alessa to help prepare for Raidos Kingdom’s attack. Well, I didn’t dare to clear up the misunderstanding because it was better to be misunderstood than to offend them.

「Master, we’re going to Alessa!」

『Yes yes. I know』

Nothing will stop her anymore.

「Urushi, go for it!」

「Woof!」

With Urushi’s legs, we would be able to reach Alessa in four days without straining ourselves. However, we didn’t set off immediately. When Fran jumped onto Urushi’s back in front of the main gate, a voice called out to her.

「What’s wrong?」

「You know……Well. I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I really appreciate your help this time. On behalf of the adventurers on the royal capital, I would like to say our gratitude for you. Thank you very much」

Then Eliante bowed deeply, and the others too, one after another, shook Fran’s hand and bowed their heads.

Then, for some reason, a crackling sound began to rise from the surroundings. It was the sound of soldiers, adventurers, and civilians clapping their hands as she left the royal capital.

「Saintess-sama! Thank you for saving us!」

「Come back again!」

「Saintess-san! Thank you!」

Isn’t this the first time she had so many people blessed her on our journey?

「Fran, come again! You’re always welcome here!」

「Come back and show me your equipment too!」

「You’ve saved us!」

With these blessing, cheers, and bittersweet words at her back, Urushi begins to run under Fran’s direction. She is nonchalant, but I know she hides her embarrassment. I can see a faint smile on her face.

『A lot has happened……. I hope they recover soon』

「Nn」

『Next up, the nostalgic Alessa huh』

「Looking forward to it」

「woof!」

Although, it’s actually not even been six months.

「Urushi, Let’s go!」

「woof woof woo-f!」

『Aah, Don’t push yourself too hard』
