Thus, the wise strive for light - to start over with a life in different worlds

"Come on! We're having a drink today!

Melchiades carries a beer in his right hand to his mouth on the balcony of the castle, screaming about it.

And one woman after another letting her samurai close by to keep the empty glass dry.

One after the other, it will be added.

... crap while I'm at it.

I can't drink for this body, so I sit near the walls and drink tea from Castle Town.

The situation in Castle Town is no different than through the window, with men and women eating and drinking and making noise thoughtfully.

"What do you say, cheerful guys? The people of this country."

"... oh"

"It was this land of witches that brought together drunkards who liked to drink and make noise. I lost my original world, but now I'm enjoying each other in this world."

Merchiades watches the castle town over the glass and smiles proudly.

And then I thought I'd drank up the beer in the glass again, and now I got up and ran to the walls.

"Hey, you guys! Are you having fun?

"Ooh!

The people raise one hand and answer the cry uttered by Merchiades.

To the good king, the good people.

From me, that's all I could see.

"Today is the special day the wise man wanted this country! Forget about work and have fun, okay! This is the king's order!

"Yes!"

Was Merchiades satisfied with the reply or walks back to the chair?

When I looked at him like that, my hand was accidentally taken by someone.

There was a brunette girl my age, a brown Alice, taking my hand.

"Would you like to dance with me, wise man?

"Huh? Huh?

I was suddenly surprised that I couldn't respond, but I pulled my hand like that and went up to the top of the balcony behind the balcony.

And I started dancing just like the folks down there, but it's hard at first.

But that was just the beginning, and I got used to it, and eventually I could dance on my own without having to fit in.

Merchiades looks at me like that and applauds me with a satisfying nod.

"Do it, wise man! I don't think it's the first time."

"... would you call me Lazareth?

"Bye, Lazareth! It's time to tell them downstairs and call them. Then they'll be happy too."

"Calling, how...?

"You just have to say what you think! Please, wise man, don't make me throw you a feast!

That's what Merchiades says and puts his mouth on the beer.

... the hurdles are too high to keep you from getting stuck?

When I descend from the castle to the castle town nervously, the soldiers lead me up to the high ground.

Then he sees me from the people and only quiets for a moment.

But from their eyes, expectations were certainly in place.

"Uh..."

"Look, hold on, sage!

If you're lost in what I say, the soldier behind you pushes you in the back.

I can't help it, I just have to mimic Merchiades here. I really don't want to call myself...

"You guys are the wise men I left in my introduction from the King!

When I call myself a wise man, the venue suddenly goes out of my way.

But I spoke to the people so loud that I couldn't beat it on purpose.

"Now I command you, wise man! Drink as much as you like tonight, have fun! Only on this night, it shall be forbidden to be caught in glitches!

People respond to my words with one hand and cheer.

... Good. I didn't have to let it slip for now.

When I got off the high ground with my chest down, Merchiades clapped and waited for me.

"I'm tired, Lazareth. How was it, on the stage?

"... tired. I'd like to go to bed now."

"Come on, Lazareth said it for fun, didn't he? We're going to have fun today!

When Merchiades says that and laughs luxuriously, he lifts my body up and sits in a nearby chair and orders two beers.

At the same time, the masses gather around to throw words at me.

But Merchiades, without stopping it, was just laughing.

But......

"... bad, Merchiades. I just need to talk to you for a minute."

"Hmm? Oh, okay"

Melchiades combines my intentions, and when I raise my right hand, the masses leave us with regret.

... the answer to this question will change what I do.

"You really don't intend to take revenge in this world."

"Oh. I'd rather be thankful to the people of this world for allowing me to live in this world."

"Next question.... How long do I have to stay in this country?

"... that's what I'm talking about, Lazareth"

"Don't you want to live in this country anymore?

... Seriously, he looked me in the eye and suggested.

Sure, this country is fun, and it's easy for me to live as a witch.

Well, I have a reason not to stay in this country.

"I can't do that. This country is fun, and it's not like I don't like you. But I have a promise to go back."

"... right"

"But I still want you to let me stay in this country for a while. I need to find out."

"What do you want to find out?

...... Dahlia and Zahr.

And Cyan.

If they're the witches of my world, they should be able to have someone who knows only one person.

Besides, we really need to find out if they're not trying to destroy this world.

"Well, you don't mind looking into it as much as you like. We have to close the door."

"... Speaking of which, Manica told me to open the door?

"Oh, that's enough. There's a guy who named me."

... the guy who named me?

"Is that Manica?

"No way. I'm just a girl. Maybe Lazareth is a stranger."

That's what Merchiades says, he hands me a beer.

... that you shouldn't drink, this guy's already forgotten.

But it's not a good idea to make me say no weirdly here.

I grabbed the glass and hit each other with Merchiades'.

The sound was so refreshing that it also reached the Rin and brilliant stars in the sky.
