The Divine Power of Comprehensive Comics

"It's great to have a safe reunion!"

"Yeah, it looks like you're okay too."

Xia Qing nodded.

"……yes!"

The soldiers nodded happily.

At this moment, they looked at Xia Qing as if they were believers. After the [Three Yong Sect] was abolished, they either believed in the [Four Sacred Sect] or the [Shield Sect].

"Please take care of me if you have the chance."

"yes!!"

As the time progressed while chatting, the other brave men also left one after another.

Amaki Ren hung his sword on his back, and Kitamura Motoyasu could only carry a spear because he couldn't store the weapon. Speaking of which, he wouldn't sleep with that spear in his arms at night, right?

Then came the Kawasumi tree with a bow and an arrow. Due to various reasons, they had lost their prestige among their companions and could be said to have abandoned their relatives. The companions who were still in the team left one after another, but after that there were still a group of [Four Saints] Teachers joined one after another, so he was no longer lonely.

After waiting for Raphtalia and Philo to eat enough, Xia Qing took them back to the guest room in the castle.

After spending a peaceful night, we set off directly to the port town the next day.

You need to go there and take a boat out to sea. After sailing for a while, you can reach Kalmilla Island.

Because it has not been marked, there is no way to teleport, so we can only go there by carriage.

…………

"It shouldn't take long to reach the seaport town."

It has been half a day since departure.

Philo and Sakura seemed to be in a good mood. After all, it was leisurely time to pull the carriage.

"Ah, Lord Xia Qing...can we take a short detour?"

"okay."

Xia Qing nodded without asking for a reason.

"Filo, follow this road and turn inland."

"Okay~"

The destination was reached shortly after.

It was a village. Just looking out the car window, you could tell that it was a village that had experienced prosperity, but now it was just an abandoned village.

Wellheads with no one to draw water, houses without roofs, burned-out homes... The ruins of dilapidated buildings tell people that there was once a village here.

Abandoned in the distant past... It shouldn't be anything like that. The cottage wasn't decayed to that extent, but it wasn't abandoned just a few days ago either.

How long ago did this place become an abandoned village?

Presumably, this abandoned village is Raphtalia's hometown.

"..."

While walking through the deserted village, Raphtalia silently looked at the appearance of the village.

At the end of the village, there are countless tombstones.

I heard that the man who was competent in internal affairs died during the first wave, in this territory.

Considering what happened before the hero was summoned, it should have been four months.

Four months ago, there was a demi-human village here, but now that I think about it, people can appreciate the turbulence of the wave again.

"Sister Raphtalia, where are you going?"

Sakura asked.

"Please go to the cliff where you can see the sea."

"Yeah, I know~"

In the rickety carriage, Raphtalia quietly looked at the village where she once lived.

"Obviously it was still so..."

As she murmured like this, the girl's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Let the queen restore this place to its original state. Although we may not be able to find all those people, we may encounter them in the future."

Xia Qing patted Raphtalia on the back and comforted her softly.

Raphtalia nodded and slowly rested her head on Xia Qing's shoulder.

"Um……"

It didn't take long before we came to a steep cliff with a view of the sea.

"We're here."

Xia Qing said.

"So fast……"

Raphtalia sighed that the waiting time was so short this time. After being warm in Xia Qing's arms for a while, the raccoon girl reluctantly jumped off the carriage.

At the end of the cliff, there is a... tomb made of small stones.

Raphtalia picked a blooming mountain flower nearby and placed it in front of the tomb.

If you think about it carefully, Raphtalia lost her family here about four months ago.

"I……"

Raphtalia muttered quietly.

"I will live well for everyone's sake, and I want to help more people who have fallen into grief due to the wave."

"Then come on."

Xia Qing said.
