Music and cheerful voices of people are flowing in the square in the forest.
ㅤ
A feast celebrating the end of the demon beast’s activity was being held in the hall.
ㅤ
Ten people gathered from the forest village, shoulder to shoulder without distinction between beastkin and human, laughing together.
ㅤ
And Luke and his friends were at the center of that circle.
ㅤ
“It’s been a while since I’ve had such a happy ‘end of the feast’!”
ㅤ
Bolz’s voice raises a roar of agreement from all around.
ㅤ
“It’s all thanks to this Luke-san! Because he was here, we are able to be here like this!”
ㅤ
Once again, cheers envelop the square.
ㅤ
“We were all over the place until now! We were suffering from poverty, becoming suspicious of each other and fighting with each other in the village. We were also being used by the adventurers in the city because of that. But it’s different from now on! Let’s cooperate with everyone in the forest! If we combine our strengths, we can do things that we thought were impossible, everyone should have felt that!”
ㅤ
“”””Oh!””””
ㅤ
A voice of agreement rises from the people.
ㅤ
“It doesn’t matter if you’re a human or a beastkin, we’re all friends living in the forest, right?”
ㅤ
Hikushin stands up.
ㅤ
“No more living while looking at the color of the city! Let’s live with pride!”
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Lord Luke, thank you very much.”
ㅤ
Namil sits down next to Luke and offers him a bottle of sake.
ㅤ
“All of us in the forest have come together thanks to you.”
ㅤ
“That’s not true.”
ㅤ
Luke shakes his head.
ㅤ
“I just did what I could do. The decision to make this happen was made by everyone.”
ㅤ
“Still, let me say thank you.”
ㅤ
Namil continues his words while tilting the sake bottle.
ㅤ
“As Bolz said, we were all over the place. I knew that it was important to work together in the forest to improve everyone’s lives, but. . . I couldn’t do as I thought and I accepted poverty as inevitable. And that resignation spread like a plague among the villagers. In other words, it was my responsibility to bring about the miserable situation in the village until now.”
ㅤ
“Namil-san. . .”
ㅤ
“But after meeting you, the young people in the village changed. Everyone started to have confidence in themselves, and even feelings of concern for the neighboring villages were born. This is the first time in decades. You did what we couldn’t do.”
ㅤ
Namil bows his head.
ㅤ
“No matter how much I thank you, it’s not enough. The residents of Crete Village will never forget what you did for us.”
ㅤ
“It’s okay. I wanted to do it. And I was able to learn about master in this village.”
ㅤ
Luke waves his hand and smiles.
ㅤ
“Thanks to you, I was able to see another side of master. I want to thank you for telling me about master.”
ㅤ
Releasing Iris, that was Luke’s goal, but there was a big problem in the way.
ㅤ
━Is Iris really a being that can be released?━
ㅤ
Iris, who is said to be one of the causes of the fall of the old empire, is feared and despised as the worst evil god by the humans.
ㅤ
There are religions that define her as the root of evil.
ㅤ
There is no doubt about liberating Iris.
ㅤ
However, it was well understood that extraordinary difficulties had to be overcome to realize it.
ㅤ
What is most needed for that is the backing to release it.
ㅤ
The clue was found in Crete village.
ㅤ
For Luke, this was a very encouraging event.
ㅤ
“By the way, you said you were going to release the Red Horned Princess.”
ㅤ
Namil stroked his chin with interest.
ㅤ
“If that comes true, I would love to meet her.”
ㅤ
“Of course, when I release master, I will introduce Crete village first. I’m looking forward to talking about it next time.”
ㅤ
Luke and Namil exchanged smiles and clinked glasses.
ㅤ

ㅤ
ㅤ
“Wow! What’s that?”
ㅤ
“That’s dangerous!”
ㅤ
When the banquet was in full swing, a running dragon suddenly jumped into the circle of the banquet.
ㅤ
“Natalia? Why are you here?”
ㅤ
Sicily was surprised to see the person who came down from the running dragon as if falling.
ㅤ
It was Natalia who was supposed to be in Mercapolis.
ㅤ
“I thought you were taking refuge in Mercapolis. . . Natalia?”
ㅤ
Natalia, who approached Sicily, fell down.
ㅤ
“Wait. . . this. . . it’s a terrible fever?!”
ㅤ
Natalia was sweating all over her body and was taking shallow breaths painfully.
ㅤ
“This is. . . don’t tell me. . . that’s ridiculous. . .”
ㅤ
Namil, who saw the situation, gasped.
ㅤ
“Natalia is. . . suffering from black spot fever.”
ㅤ
“Is that true?!”
ㅤ
Luke was surprised and his eyes widened.
ㅤ
Looking at it, there is certainly something like a black bruise on the chest.
ㅤ
I’ve heard about it many times, but this is the first time I’ve seen the actual symptoms.
ㅤ
It was a terrible deadly disease that once caused 80% of the deaths, and Natalia was suffering from that disease.
ㅤ
“Lu. . . Luke. . . and everyone. . . so. . . something terrible. . .”
ㅤ
Natalia opened her mouth in pain.
ㅤ
“The. . . city. . . black spot fever. . . is spreading.”
