“Did your sister send it?”

Ronan opened the envelope. Soon after reading the letter, he smirked. Adeshan let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the anger had completely disappeared from his face.

“thank god. You seem to be feeling a little better.”

“It’s a letter from my older sister, but I can’t read it frowning. Thanks for telling me.”

Ronan’s eyes were dripping with love. It was an expression he rarely showed except when he was with himself. Adeshan, who was watching this, smiled involuntarily.

“You really like Irill.”

“sure. Why, as Adeshan knows, I have no parents?”

For a moment, Adeshan was speechless. I didn’t know how to react to these words. Even though Ronan himself was talking casually. When Adeshan was silent, he opened his mouth.

“When you think about it, it’s a pretty damn good seller. My mother died when I was young and I have never seen her face properly, and my father is asleep at the edge of the North with the secrets of the world. That’s why I don’t know much about maternal love or parental love.”

“Yeah...”

“But I never felt dissatisfied or lacking about it. Because I had an older sister. Even though I behaved meanly as a kid, it wasn’t because I didn’t receive much love, it was because my natural temperament was dirty.”

Ronan giggled. Adeshan also raised an eyebrow. After confirming that the protection of the stars had disappeared, the second team was entering the mountain path.

“My older sister always raised me with love and sincerity. I felt it from the moment I circled Nimburton on the back of a swaddle. He was too much for a bastard like me.”

“That’s until you say that.”

“no. Really.”

Ronan shook his head. He told me a few anecdotes from his childhood with Irill.

“Once, I used a group because I wanted to see Orsay, the magic dragon from the fairy tale. It was okay to say that we could meet in a dream, but my sister didn’t. What do you think he would have done?”

“Um...well? Did you draw a picture for me?”

“It was similar, but a little different. My sister made a really convincing Orsay makeup while cutting down on her sleep throughout the month. And he surprised me by wearing it and walking around.”

Recalling the memory of that time, Ronan smiled. Even if you think about it by adult standards, it was a makeup with great care. The four wings were made from real raven feathers. Adeshan covered his mouth in admiration.

“wow.”

“And I went into the room without pretending to be surprised. At that time, my interest in Orsay had already cooled. Even after that, I never paid attention to that makeup.”

“...wow.”

Adeshan admired once again. A little different feeling than before. Seeing her expression, Ronan smiled bitterly.

‘He really was a bastard.’

The more he looked back, the more he realized that he was a Holo child with no answer. I couldn’t understand why I was bothering my sister who changed poop diapers.

He had never done anything pretty, but Iril always gave him infinite love for free. Until right before he ran out of the house without saying a word.

I’m so glad you’re back. Ronan, who muttered in his mouth, continued.

“It’s a little wordy. I guess he just wanted to show off his favorite tee.”

“huh. It feels good enough.”

“Thank you for saying that. Anyway, that’s all. I want to make her as happy as she is.”

Ronan concluded. In fact, Iril’s happiness was one of the biggest driving forces behind his decision to save the world. Tragedy was out of place for my lovely sister.

“Oh, can I go to Jedo for a few hours tomorrow?”

“huh? That’s fine, of course, but why?”

“I didn’t know, but I guess tomorrow was my birthday. My sister said let’s spend it together for the first time in a while.”

Ronan showed the letter from Iril. On the parchment, there were letters that wriggled like bugs.

At the bottom of the specialist’s message to return home because tomorrow is his birthday, there was a postscript that he had already prepared a gift. It’s been a long time since I forgot about birthdays, so I completely forgot about it. Adeshan nodded.

“That should go. After all, if you occupy Felgrand, you will have a break. I’ll tell you well.”

“I’ll be back soon. Is there anything wrong with you, senior?”

“huh? Mmm... that’s...”

“This is too much.”

Wow! Flames covered the citadel with the sound of a thousand forests burning at the same time. The fire, which decomposed organic matter in the blink of an eye, penetrated the interior of the building and burned up all the troops and supplies that were evacuating.

Not even a scream remained in the place where the dragon’s fire swept through. As a cold wind from the north swept across the mountains, a pile of ashes mingled with fire erupted. The Felgrand Mountains, which were in charge of the northern pillar, fell into the hands of the allied forces.

It was a crisp noon. Clouds like flocks of sheep were drifting in the sky over the islands. An early summer breeze was blowing through the half-open windows.

“It’s finally today.”

The temperature was high, but it was not hot because there was no humidity. Iril smiled as he looked out the window. It was the perfect day to celebrate the birthday of my beloved brother.

“I want to see you soon. My little brother.”

Erill murmured. I couldn’t see Ronan’s face because he’s been busy lately. Even friends like Asher and Schlieffen.

A lot of food was laid out in front of her so that her legs would break. Twenty dishes, including the potato stew in the center of the table, were all made by her herself.

It took a lot of work, but considering Ronan’s face, it wasn’t difficult at all. Besides, today was not an ordinary birthday, so it was right to give more strength than usual.

The gift she prepared today had a much deeper meaning than usual. Wiping her hands on her apron, she suddenly snapped her fingers.

“I almost forgot the most important thing.”

Suddenly realizing that he hadn’t taken out his present, Iril went into his room. She stopped in front of the bed and bent her back as if she were lying face down. Deep down there, I saw a box containing blood needles.

“Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?”

Iril reached under the bed and gritted his teeth. No matter how hard I tried, the box barely touched my fingertips, but I couldn’t catch it. After struggling in that position for a while, Iril finally got up.

“Whoa... Did I put it in too deep?”

She muttered, wiping the sweat from her forehead. It seemed that the entire bed had to be moved. With her sleeves rolled up, she was about to get back into action.

smart.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door from the front door.

“Yes, let’s go now!”

Illil exclaimed. The light knock on the door was familiar. You said it might be a little late, but you came rather quickly? She smiled brightly and opened the front door.

“Ronan! Come on! I’m very hungry... Huh?”

Erill’s eyes widened. There was no one outside the door. Only the strangely deserted street remained, lying face down in silence.

“...what?”

Illil tilted her head. I definitely felt the presence, but I guess I was mistaken. thud. It was the moment she turned around after closing the door without thinking.

“I heard wrong...Kyaaaaaaaa!!”

A shrill scream escaped from Iril’s mouth. The whole house was turned into a sea of blood. Dozens of men in black were lying on the floor, headless corpses.

“This... what the hell...”

The smell of blood stung his nose. Lily covered her mouth with both hands. All of the men’s clothes had the Balon Empire’s pattern drawn on them. At Ronan’s request, they were elite agents directly under the imperial family who were dispatched to escort Iril.

No one was alive. The blood gushing from the cut in the neck was unrealistically red. She was breathing heavily and was about to sit down. A man’s voice came from the table.

“nice to meet. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.”

“omg...!”

Irill, who hastily turned his head, froze. Someone was sitting at the table, obviously empty. The white-haired man was deftly eating the potato stew she had made.

“You are good at cooking. It’s good that there’s no bleeding so far.”

“Oh Dad...?”

Iril dragged his horse by the tail. The man’s appearance was very similar to the father she remembered.

However, there was a difference in the fundamental feeling. I couldn’t find the gentleness of my father in the eyes of the man who resembled the sunset. Illil, barely breathing, asked.

“...no. Who are you all?”

“As expected, he was my brother’s blood relative. If so, this must be a historic encounter. You may already know, but I’ll introduce you formally.”

The man who had been eating the stew suddenly stood up. Scratching his head, he approached Illil and opened his mouth.

“My name is Abel. ”
