朝を迎えた。
あと、20分後には馬車が出るという。
すでにルインさん達は居た。
「おぅ......アリム、もう少ししたら出発するぜ!」
オルゴさんがそう、俺に呼びかける。
「はいっ」
この場にはジーゼフさんとガーベラさんがお見送りに来ていた。お礼言わなきゃ。
「ジーゼフさん、ガーベラさん、お世話になりました」
ペコッと可愛らしく、頭を下げてみる。
二人はその様子をみてこう言葉を返す。
「ふぉっふぉっふぉっ......最初にアリムちゃんを見たときは本当にビックリしたのぉ......。実を言うとグレートポーションとか昨日の料理とかの方が驚いてたりするがの。......元気でな」
「いつでも、遊びに来るといいわ。記憶が戻っても。勿論歓迎するわよ!」
優しい、いい人達だ。あぁ、最初に触れ合えた人間がこの村の人達で本当に良かったと思う。
「本当に......ありがとうございましたっ!」
「いいんじゃよ。困ったときは、お互い様......じゃろ?」
ガーベラさんはルインさんたちにお礼を言う。
「セインフォースの皆さまも......本当に、ありがとうございました」
それに答えるのはリーダーであるルインさんだ。
「困った時はお互い様ですよ。また、何かあったら頼りにして頂けると嬉しいです!」
「ふぉっふぉっふぉっ、勿論ですじゃ。」
村長さんは髭をなでている。
顔をこちらにむけ、俺に話しかけてきた。励ましの言葉。
「あぁ、最後にアリムちゃんに1つ。お前さんはこれからたっくさん、人よりも辛く、苦しい経験をする時が来るやもしれぬ。だけどな、人生は一度きり。楽しみなさい。」
「そろそろ......出発しますな」
ルインさんは言う。
「みなさん!どうかお元気でっ!」
ルインさんの別れの言葉と共に御者さんが手綱を引くと、馬車が動きはじめる。
多数の人影が動いてるのがわかる。村の人達だ。
「ありがとう!」
「また来てください!」
「きゃー!アリムちゃん!可愛いっ!」
「竹とんぼ、ありがとー!」
「いつでもまたこいよなー!」
みんな、それぞれ別れの句を述べている。
俺ら5人はピピーの村の人達に向かって、その姿が見えなくなくまで手を振り続けた......。

ここから目的地、『メフィラド王国』の王都まで1日半かかるらしい。
俺は国に入る際の、門の前の審査などの心配をしたが、商人...アーキンさんがうまくやってくれるらしい。流石商人。
俺はリロさんとミュリさんにいじられたり、アーキンさんから王都のこと、王国のことを教えてもらった上に地図までもらい、何か売り買いする時は是非ここへと、アーキンさんが所属している商人組会の名刺ももらった。
これを見せるだけで商会の本部に入れてくれるらしい。完全に取引相手として認識されたよね。
後は、ルインさん、オルゴさんに冒険譚を聞いたり、ミュリさんとリロさんにいじられたりして1日を過ごした。
今後どうするかについても話した。
まずは役所等で俺のことを聞き、わかり次第、俺の頭にメッセージをよこすとのこと。
そんなことができるのか。電話いらないんだね、この世界。
ルインさんだけでなく、4人とも同じ考えだそうな。しかも、役場で話を聞いたらすぐに別れなくてはいけないらしい。忙しい人達なんだね。
今のうちに4人に、助けて貰った礼と別れを述べておく。
4人も俺に助けて貰った礼と別れを述べた。リロさんなんて、少し泣きそう。
ミュリさんも俺を抱きしめる。......リロさんよりは無いな。Bの上かCの下くらいかな?
オルゴさんは頭をポンポンと撫でた。ルインさんは、「ごめんね......どうか、元気で」ってかっこいいこと言いながら、俺のほっぺをプニプニしてくる。
そんなにいいの? 俺のほっぺ。でも、アリムは、痩せ型だよ?プニプニする場所あるの。あ、お肌スベスベなんですか。そうですか。
.........そうこうしてるうちにメフィラド王国の王都が見えてくる。その大きな外壁の中に、俺のこれからがまっているのだ......。
It was morning.
The carriage finally arrived after 20 minutes, Preparation for the journey has already been finished.
Ruin-san and the other were also ready and waiting.
[Oou... Alim, we will be leaving soon!] 
Orgo-san called out to me.
[Hai...!!] 
Then I went into the carriage after being called. After that Jizefu-san and Gerbera-san went over to see us off. I also said my thanks and farewells.
[Jizefu-san, Gerbera-san, thank you for taking care of me!!!] 
After saying those words, i lowered my head.
They looked at me and returned a few remarks.
[Fufufu.... You know, I was really surprised when I first saw Alim-chan.... not to mention the Great Potions, even the dishes you prepared were so great, it was shocking....All I can say is take care of yourself out there ok?] 
[You may come and visit us anytime, even when your memories have returned, we will always welcome you.] 
They sure are gentle and kind people, well I think met some really good people for the first time, especially them in the village.
[Really... Thank you very much for everything!] 
[When in trouble, isn't it natural to help each other.... right?] 
And then, gerbera-san gave her thanks to Ruin-san and the others.
[Also for everyone at the Seinforce ... ... Thank you very much!] 
It was Rain-san, their leader who went out to answer it.
[As we have said, we only did our best to help, we were also helped by everyone. If something happened again you can always count on us.] 
[Ufufufu... why of course...] 
The village chief responded while combing his beard.
He turned around to face me and gave me some encouraging words.
[That's right Alim-chan, there are times when things get quie tough and troubles are around, but always take care and live through it, you only have one life so be sure to enjoy everything it can offer] 
[Alright everyone... We will be leaving now] 
Ruin-santhen said.
[Everyone! Take care! Till we meet again!] 
And then the driver drew the reins along with Ruin-san's words of farewell, the carriage then started to move.
As the carriage leave, a lot of the villagers came to watch.
[Thank you!] 
[Please come again!] 
[Kyaaa! Alim-chan! Kawaiii!] 
[For the Bamboo dragonfly! Thank you very much!!] 
[Come again whenever you want!] 
Everyone was saying their goodbyes.
We were waving our hands to everyone from the village until the village is out of sight.

It seems that it takes 1 day and a half from here to our destination, the "Kingdom of Mephilad".
I was worrying about what to do when I pa.s.sed by the gate when entering the country, but then the merchant... whose name seemed to be Arkin-san would handle it... As you would expect from a merchant.
I got caught by Lilo-san and Myuri-san again and was played with. Arkin-san then handed me a map of the kingdom and told me about the kingdom and everything that surrounding it. He also said that if I am about to do some transaction, then I should see him to talk about it. And then he gave me a business card like belonging to the merchant organization for doing business with him.
It seems that I will be accommodated by the company just by showing this to them. Well I guess I'll kindly accept the offer and use services of the company at that time.
After that I listened about adventurer from Ruin-san and Orgo-san and then was played around all day by Lilo-san and Myuri-san.
I also talked about what I want to do in the future.
First to do will be to confirm about my ident.i.ty from a government office etc. After that, they will inform me about the results at a later time.
I wonder how will they do it, I don't recall have anything like a phone or the like in this world tho.
And then after that, I wanted to be together with everyone for a bit, but it seems impossible. Not only Ruin-san but also everyone else seems to have something else they have to do. Well as soon as they confirmed the information from the office, they will to go to various places it seems.
Well for the meantime, I'll give the four people my thanks for helping me out and then part with them.
The four people also give their goodbye and thanks for helping them. Lilo-san seemed to be sad about it tho.
Myuri-san also joined in, but it cannot be compared to that of Lilo-san I guess, it's probably just around B or before C.
Orgo-san then ruffled my head, and Ruin-san pat me saying [Sorry... about this] and started poking my cheeks while saying cool things.
Hey stop poking... What? what's wrong with me being thin?... My skin is so smooth really? Hey stop that already!...
As they keep doing that, I can finally see the walls of Mephilad Kingdom. Inside that big outer wall my "Future" awaits.
