"okay."

Without asking why, Xia Qing nodded.

"Philo, follow this road and turn inland."

"Good~"

The destination was reached shortly after.

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

Wellheads where no one draws water, houses without roofs, and burnt-out homes... The ruins of dilapidated buildings tell people that there used to be a village here.

Abandoned in the distant past... or something, 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 looked at the appearance of the village silently.

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

It is said that the man who was competent in internal affairs died during the first wave, in this territory.

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

Four months ago, there was a sub-human village here, but thinking about it now, it makes people appreciate the turbulent tide again.

"Sister Raphtalia, where are you going?"

Sakura asked.

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

"Well, I know~"

In the rickety carriage, Raphtalia quietly watched the village where she used to live.

"Obviously it was still like that at that time..."

Whispering like this, the girl's eyes turned red.

"Let the queen restore this place to its original state. Although those people may not be able to retrieve them all, they may meet 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 to come to a steep cliff with a view of the sea.

"Here it is."

Xia Qing said.

"So fast……"

Raphtalia lamented that the waiting time was so short this time. After being tenderly in Xia Qing's arms for a while, the raccoon girl reluctantly jumped out of 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, Raphtalia lost her family here about four months ago.

"I……"

Raphtalia muttered softly.

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

"Then let's go."

Xia Qing said.

"Sorry to trouble you..."

"What are you talking about, Raphtalia's matter is my matter... Then, it's time to go."

"Yes! . . . I'm leaving, father, mother!"

Raphtalia waved to the grave and got into the carriage.

"Let's go."

The brave men gathered at the port town to board the ship.

Of course, the time for the ship to set sail had been fixed long ago, and in the end everyone boarded the ship together.

It seems that it will take some time to sail, and people waiting to board the ship are lined up on the breakwater.

The people at the front are looking around idly.
