Gaiden: Meeting and Farewell
"Are you nervous?"
Behemoth asked, sitting on Bena's head with only his head down.
Like the question, Bena's expression was quite stiff, perhaps because of her nervousness.
Huh. It's a little bit exciting."
About a month has passed since I left Saint-Dermain.
Han, Azad, and Alex said they would go to the Frontier headquarters, so they broke up in the middle.
Braha was on the journey as a guide to the great Aryazad Forest, established by the Valkyries, and Behemoth, at Jamie's request, agreed to stay with her until she was settled.
said Braha.
"It's going to be the first time I've seen you in 10 years, so it's weird if you're not nervous."
"Would you like to eat an apple?"
Hehe. Thanks.
Behemoth offered an apple he was eating, saying that an apple was the best way to relax. Benna took it again.
Braha burst into laughter as she looked at the two seemingly simple faces.
Bena muttered an apple and asked Braha.
"How much left?"
"It will be about an hour."
"By the way, I heard that the Ariazad Great Forest is a very dangerous place Can I go without preparation like this?"
When Bena asked worriedly, Braha smiled and looked at her with a cute face.
"You really don't know anything?"
on?
"Well. It has been raised by human hands for 10 years. I have very few memories of my childhood. It will be unavoidable."
"What do you mean?"
"As you said, it is true that the Ariazad Great Forest is a dangerous place. But not for us."
Ariazad Great Forest, one of the six prohibitions.
It's a place you can't go in without.
There are a lot of monsters that are as powerful as they are banned, and things that are deadly to living things are all over the place.
A place so dangerous that even the expedition organized by the Sword Master was annihilated leaving only the Sword Master behind.
But it was only limited to humans.
"For forest races like you and me, the forest is just a home."
"A home?"
"Have you never been to the forest?"
uh I think it was once."
"How was it?"
"My body was full of energy. The condition was good."
"That is the most basic phenomenon. Elves and Valkyries are not nicknamed 'Forest Fairy' for nothing. Because we are the strongest when we are in nature, and we are the kind that nature loves."
" love.
okay. You've spent more time growing up in human arms than in the forest, so you'll need to get used to it, but it's okay with me. Humans are afraid of the great forest, but we need not fear."
"He is right. vena. Don't be afraid mans. I am there!"
Behemoth jumped down on Bena's knee and snorted triumphantly.
Huh!
Benna replied vigorously.
* * *
After about an hour passed, a large forest began to appear in the distance.
The trees were so densely stacked that the beginning of the forest had a very dark atmosphere.
Bena swallowed dry saliva in the background as if even a ghost would pop out.
Aside from that, I could feel my condition improving little by little.
"Are you over there?"
Huh. That is the beginning of the great forest."
"Huh. Quite a deb."
Behemoth looked at the great forest with a look of preparation.
The energy felt in the forest itself was considerable, and I thought I could understand why humans were afraid.
There were very dangerous creatures nestled there.
Go.
Unlike Bena, who was nervous, Braha held out her hand with a very relaxed face.
Bena nodded and took her hand.
A wind spirit appeared and wrapped around them.
As soon as the body floated into the air, the surrounding background began to pass by at a tremendous speed.
"Father, go ahead!"
"Uh-huh! This speed! Long time no see!"
"Aren't you supposed to get used to this? In the future, you should fly faster!"
They broke through the beginning of the great forest in an instant and rushed into the center with incredible speed.
Bena's eyes became dizzy.
The wind spirit was carrying it directly, so it was different from the speed when flying directly.
"Wow!"
Ha ha ha ha ha! Fly faster! faster!"
"It's cool!"
A screaming Bena, a cheering Behemoth, and Braha, who turns out to be a speed freak.
They crossed the mouth of the vast boulevard in a literal instant and reached the center.
* * *
"Wow!"
"Wait, are you okay?"
"I'm fine Whoops!"
Braha patted Bena on the back with an apologetic expression.
Bena tried to shake her hand saying it was okay, but when her stomach started churning again, she quickly covered her mouth and ran to the tree to vomit.
"I thought it would be ok to increase the speed a little because I knew how to fly ."
I had so much fun flying.
I flew at the speed I normally enjoyed, but it seemed like I couldn't handle it.
"Tttttttt. What if it's that hard?"
Behemoth kicked his tongue and flew around Bena.
Bena was squatting and staring blankly at the floor, as if there was no time to worry about him.
However, as time passed, my stomach felt a little more comfortable.
"Drink some water."
Braha summoned a water spirit and slowly poured clear water over her lips.
"Whoa~"
Bena let out a deep breath, wondering if she would live for a while, and her complexion returned a little.
Braha apologized again.
Sorry If you just speed up, you can't be the subject."
It's okay. You arrived quickly though."
Bena smiled hard and looked around.
Unlike the beginning, which was full of trees, the center was not full of trees.
However, there were a lot of rare trees and plants that could not be found outside.
Among them was a faintly glowing white flower, but Bena was unwittingly so pretty that she tried to pick one.
No.
Braha grabbed her wrist.
"It's poison. No matter how we are, our skin melts the moment we touch it."
"Is it poisonous too?"
Huh. There are many plants here that attract and eat their opponents with their beautiful appearance and scent. The deeper you go, the more you get, so be careful."
" But why is he okay?"
Well?
Bena pointed behind her.
When I looked there, Behemoth was staring blankly at them and chewing on something.
It was the poison Braha had just warned of.
"Is the Behemoth okay?"
"What do you see?"
" ."
A small beast that casually chews a powerful acid poison that melts the skin upon contact.
Braha said to Bena, rubbing her forehead.
"This guy is an exception. So ignore it."
Yeah.
"Even so, it's not funny. Can you eat something like that?"
Braha took the lead, muttering with an incomprehensible face.
* * *
After walking for a while, an open field appeared.
Basically, it was a heterogeneous space in the great forest, which was formed as a huge forest.
said Braha.
"Only you can enter from here."
Me?
Huh.
"Can't I go too?"
"You have to wait here with me too. From here on, it's the realm of the Valkyrie."
An empty empty field is the realm of the Valkyrie.
I heard that Vena once heard that the Valkyries live in a place called the Fountain through which time flows.
But there was no such thing as Sam here.
"You will find out when you go. Everyone is calling you."
Braha was listening somewhere with her eyes closed.
"Go."
" I will go."
With a face full of tension, Bena took a step forward. Behemoth's cheering voice was heard from behind.
"Worry man! I'm here, so don't be afraid to go!
Huh!
Hearing the cheers gave me a little strength.
Bena took a deep breath and moved forward vigorously.
At that moment, I wondered if the space was shaking, and the pastel colors that seemed to come out of a fairy tale book began to flow over the empty space.
White trees were growing in the dreamy background, and the grass on the floor was swaying as if welcoming Bena.
And a small fountain not far away.
Little birds of various colors were sitting and singing on the branch of a slender tree growing in the center.
here ."
Bena walked towards the spring like a bewitched man.
Her pink hair slowly turned red, and the fairy's wings slowly spread out from her back.
[It's been a long time since I've been here.]
Philion, who had been quiet, opened his mouth as if waking up from a long sleep.
A loud laugh was heard.
Bena closed her eyes and listened to her voice.
- You're back.
- The princess is back.
- Let the queen know.
- Come on, let's go tell the queen!
When I opened my eyes, beautiful women like elves were flying around me, flapping my own wings.
Although it was the first time they had all met, there was no sense of unfamiliarity.
- Follow me, princess.
One of them held out his hand.
Bena held her hand without hesitation.
- The queen is waiting.
The place where she was led and followed was a space where a huge tree soared high into the sky.
There was a hole at the bottom of the tree, and it was decorated with various flowers.
The moment she saw it, Bena felt tears flowing naturally.
And the forgotten memories began to come to mind one by one.
-vena. my cute daughter
- Your mother prepared a wreath for you.
- Our daughter. Take me into this mother's arms.
-Even if one day you succeed your mother and become the queen, you will always be my daughter.
- My dear daughter. Sleep well.
My face was blurry, so I couldn't remember it well, but I used to sleep in that hole in someone's arms.
At that time, his hand was very warm, and he always slept comfortably.
The one who loved you more than anyone else.
All of a sudden, tears were running down my cheeks.
Bena covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders.
" Mom.
"My daughter."
The moment I heard that voice, my blurry face started to get clearer.
Bena called the beautiful Valkyrie with red hair slowly descending from the sky.
Mom!!
vena. My lovely daughter."
Bena ran straight towards her.
How did you forget the precious memories of your childhood?
Unable to hold back her crying, she was embraced by the queen, Hippen.
Hippen said while gently stroking the daughter's hair.
like this I met you again like this like this ."
She also shed a tear and hugged her daughter tightly.
The mother and daughter, who had been forcibly separated for 10 years, remained silent for a while, embracing each other, as if they would never separate.
* * *
"My daughter, have you grown a lot?"
A somewhat genuine hippen said, wiping Bena's puffy eyes.
Bena sighed and nodded her head.
"Yeah It's grown a lot."
okay. 10 years. 10 years."
"I forgot all about it for 10 years. Mom and the other Valkyries."
Bena was flying around the two of them as if to bless the queen and princess.
Once the memory started to come back, there were quite a few familiar faces.
"Are there no broken spots? where are you sick? Are you okay?"
Although the Valkyrie were known for being a warlike race, they were warmer than anyone to their own blood and kindred people.
Bena had a terrible past, but she didn't want to talk about it.
"There is no pain. Everything was fine."
"It's good. I'm really happy. How to find you... ."
Hippen clenched his teeth as he recalled the past.
Not wanting to show it to her daughter, she bowed her head, and Bena wept and wrapped her arms around her shoulders.
"Everything is fine. You're back."
okay Let's not fall again.
"There are people I can introduce to you."
"The children out there."
I was already aware of the report.
An elf and a beast resembling a bull are with Bena.
You can't pretend you didn't see the benefactors who guided your precious daughter all the way here.
"Bring them."
- Yes, my queen.
One Valkyrie went to pick up Braha and Behemoth at the Queen's command.
After a while, as soon as Braha, who had been guided, saw Hippen, he politely bowed his head.
"I see the Queen of the Valkyries."
"Which forest elf are you from?"
"My name is Brahara of Sepid Forest."
"If it's Sepid You are Mulan's child.
Yes.
Mulan was a high elf from Sepid Forest.
Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to see my daughter like this again."
"Of course it had to be done. It is the providence of nature that forest fairies return to the forest."
"That is right. But who are you?"
"Behemoth Party."
Unlike Braha, who was politely polite, Behemoth introduced himself in a confident tone.
Even in front of the Queen, I spoke comfortably without being polite, and the other Valkyries stared at the Behemoth terrifyingly.
Hippen raised his hand and said to the Valkyries.
"He is my daughter's benefactor."
-Sorry.
At those words, everyone relaxed their boundaries.
The queen was said to have absolute power, and all the Valkyries acted as if they were her marionettes.
"You are a strange being."
"Then you look exactly like Netis."
All the Valkyries, including Hippen, looked surprised at the word Netis.
Hippen asked.
" How do you know Netis-sama?"
"Who is Netis-sama?"
Bena asked Hippen with a surprised face again at the reaction of the Valkyries.
Hippen frowned slightly and replied.
" You are the first queen. You are our forefather."
What surprised me this time was Bra.
The history of the Valkyrie is as long as the elves, and if not the first queen, it was the Valkyrie of the 'forgotten history' era.
I knew the Behemoth was a very old beast, but I didn't know that the first queen of the Valkyrie would know.
Hippen looked at Behemoth with alert eyes and asked.
"What are you?"
"I have no intention of telling you that. However, I will only say one word on behalf of my master."
Behemoth spoke in an unusually serious voice.
Queen. The time will come when we will fight again. Then will you be brave like Nettis or hide behind like a coward? The choice is yours."
Hippen couldn't say anything at those meaningful words.
Behemoth shrugged and said to Bena.
"And Bena."
"Yes, Behemoth."
"Stay healthy. And don't neglect your efforts. You are born with a mission to protect his back someday."
Do not worry about it.
"Then we'll go all the way."
Behemoth blinked at Braha and began to leave without looking back.
Bena teased Behemoth, who was about to leave too soon.
"Hey, are you just going? Behemoth! Behemoth!"
However, the appearance of Behemoth was gone.
Braha also bowed his head to Hippen and said goodbye to Bena.
vena. Be happy."
"Mr Braha!"
"I'll see you again if we get to know each other."
The figure of Braha also disappeared.
Bena ran as hard as she could to their place, but could not pursue them.
She cried and muttered.
"Where is this vain parting? ."
Hippen came up to her and rubbed her back.
"I'll see you again, so don't be sad."
still ."
Behemoth and Braha were savage.
I could stay a little longer.
Holding back her tears, she shouted into the empty void.
"Next time, next time we meet, we will be stronger than we are now! exactly! It's a promise!"
* * *
"Is it okay if I just go like this?"
"What else is wrong? Where there is a meeting, there is also a parting. And it's not like I'll never see you again.
"But that's it."
Braha saw the bull walking in front of him, twitching his ass.
Even if he spoke like that, seeing him walking more droopy than usual, it didn't seem like he was sorry.
I feel so sorry for myself, but to break up with Bena, who I've been close with for a month... If not, it would have been worse.
"Come on, most. It's a frontier or something."
okay. Let's go fast."
Braha smiled and summoned the wind spirit.
The two of them disappeared with the wind.

"I'll see you again, so don't be sad."
still ."
Behemoth and Braha were savage.
I could stay a little longer.
Holding back her tears, she shouted into the empty void.
"Next time, next time we meet, we will be stronger than we are now! exactly! It's a promise!"
* * *
"Is it okay if I just go like this?"
"What else is wrong? Where there is a meeting, there is also a parting. And it's not like I'll never see you again.
"But that's it."
Braha saw the bull walking in front of him, twitching his ass.
Even if he spoke like that, seeing him walking more droopy than usual, it didn't seem like he was sorry.
I feel so sorry for myself, but to break up with Bena, who I've been close with for a month... If not, it would have been worse.
"Come on, most. It's a frontier or something."
okay. Let's go fast."
Braha smiled and summoned the wind spirit.
The two of them disappeared with the wind.

Gaiden: Meeting and Farewell "Are you nervous?" Behemoth asked, sitting on Bena's head with only his head down. Like the question, Bena's expression was quite stiff, perhaps because of her nervousness. Huh. It's a little bit exciting." About a month has passed since I left Saint-Dermain. Han, Azad, and Alex said they would go to the Frontier headquarters, so they broke up in the middle. Braha was on the journey as a guide to the great Aryazad Forest, established by the Valkyries, and Behemoth, at Jamie's request, agreed to stay with her until she was settled. said Braha. "It's going to be the first time I've seen you in 10 years, so it's weird if you're not nervous." "Would you like to eat an apple?" Hehe. Thanks. Behemoth offered an apple he was eating, saying that an apple was the best way to relax. Benna took it again. Braha burst into laughter as she looked at the two seemingly simple faces. Bena muttered an apple and asked Braha. "How much left?" "It will be about an hour." "By the way, I heard that the Ariazad Great Forest is a very dangerous place Can I go without preparation like this?" When Bena asked worriedly, Braha smiled and looked at her with a cute face. "You really don't know anything?" on? "Well. It has been raised by human hands for 10 years. I have very few memories of my childhood. It will be unavoidable." "What do you mean?" "As you said, it is true that the Ariazad Great Forest is a dangerous place. But not for us." Ariazad Great Forest, one of the six prohibitions. It's a place you can't go in without. There are a lot of monsters that are as powerful as they are banned, and things that are deadly to living things are all over the place. A place so dangerous that even the expedition organized by the Sword Master was annihilated leaving only the Sword Master behind. But it was only limited to humans. "For forest races like you and me, the forest is just a home." "A home?" "Have you never been to the forest?" uh I think it was once." "How was it?" "My body was full of energy. The condition was good." "That is the most basic phenomenon. Elves and Valkyries are not nicknamed 'Forest Fairy' for nothing. Because we are the strongest when we are in nature, and we are the kind that nature loves." " love. okay. You've spent more time growing up in human arms than in the forest, so you'll need to get used to it, but it's okay with me. Humans are afraid of the great forest, but we need not fear." "He is right. vena. Don't be afraid mans. I am there!" Behemoth jumped down on Bena's knee and snorted triumphantly. Huh! Benna replied vigorously. * * * After about an hour passed, a large forest began to appear in the distance. The trees were so densely stacked that the beginning of the forest had a very dark atmosphere. Bena swallowed dry saliva in the background as if even a ghost would pop out. Aside from that, I could feel my condition improving little by little. "Are you over there?" Huh. That is the beginning of the great forest." "Huh. Quite a deb." Behemoth looked at the great forest with a look of preparation. The energy felt in the forest itself was considerable, and I thought I could understand why humans were afraid. There were very dangerous creatures nestled there. Go. Unlike Bena, who was nervous, Braha held out her hand with a very relaxed face. Bena nodded and took her hand. A wind spirit appeared and wrapped around them. As soon as the body floated into the air, the surrounding background began to pass by at a tremendous speed. "Father, go ahead!" "Uh-huh! This speed! Long time no see!" "Aren't you supposed to get used to this? In the future, you should fly faster!" They broke through the beginning of the great forest in an instant and rushed into the center with incredible speed. Bena's eyes became dizzy. The wind spirit was carrying it directly, so it was different from the speed when flying directly. "Wow!" Ha ha ha ha ha! Fly faster! faster!" "It's cool!" A screaming Bena, a cheering Behemoth, and Braha, who turns out to be a speed freak. They crossed the mouth of the vast boulevard in a literal instant and reached the center. * * * "Wow!" "Wait, are you okay?" "I'm fine Whoops!" Braha patted Bena on the back with an apologetic expression. Bena tried to shake her hand saying it was okay, but when her stomach started churning again, she quickly covered her mouth and ran to the tree to vomit. "I thought it would be ok to increase the speed a little because I knew how to fly ." I had so much fun flying. I flew at the speed I normally enjoyed, but it seemed like I couldn't handle it. "Tttttttt. What if it's that hard?" Behemoth kicked his tongue and flew around Bena. Bena was squatting and staring blankly at the floor, as if there was no time to worry about him. However, as time passed, my stomach felt a little more comfortable. "Drink some water." Braha summoned a water spirit and slowly poured clear water over her lips. "Whoa~" Bena let out a deep breath, wondering if she would live for a while, and her complexion returned a little. Braha apologized again. Sorry If you just speed up, you can't be the subject." It's okay. You arrived quickly though." Bena smiled hard and looked around. Unlike the beginning, which was full of trees, the center was not full of trees. However, there were a lot of rare trees and plants that could not be found outside. Among them was a faintly glowing white flower, but Bena was unwittingly so pretty that she tried to pick one. No. Braha grabbed her wrist. "It's poison. No matter how we are, our skin melts the moment we touch it." "Is it poisonous too?" Huh. There are many plants here that attract and eat their opponents with their beautiful appearance and scent. The deeper you go, the more you get, so be careful." " But why is he okay?" Well? Bena pointed behind her. When I looked there, Behemoth was staring blankly at them and chewing on something. It was the poison Braha had just warned of. "Is the Behemoth okay?" "What do you see?" " ." A small beast that casually chews a powerful acid poison that melts the skin upon contact. Braha said to Bena, rubbing her forehead. "This guy is an exception. So ignore it." Yeah. "Even so, it's not funny. Can you eat something like that?" Braha took the lead, muttering with an incomprehensible face. * * * After walking for a while, an open field appeared. Basically, it was a heterogeneous space in the great forest, which was formed as a huge forest. said Braha. "Only you can enter from here." Me? Huh. "Can't I go too?" "You have to wait here with me too. From here on, it's the realm of the Valkyrie." An empty empty field is the realm of the Valkyrie. I heard that Vena once heard that the Valkyries live in a place called the Fountain through which time flows. But there was no such thing as Sam here. "You will find out when you go. Everyone is calling you." Braha was listening somewhere with her eyes closed. "Go." " I will go." With a face full of tension, Bena took a step forward. Behemoth's cheering voice was heard from behind. "Worry man! I'm here, so don't be afraid to go! Huh! Hearing the cheers gave me a little strength. Bena took a deep breath and moved forward vigorously. At that moment, I wondered if the space was shaking, and the pastel colors that seemed to come out of a fairy tale book began to flow over the empty space. White trees were growing in the dreamy background, and the grass on the floor was swaying as if welcoming Bena. And a small fountain not far away. Little birds of various colors were sitting and singing on the branch of a slender tree growing in the center. here ." Bena walked towards the spring like a bewitched man. Her pink hair slowly turned red, and the fairy's wings slowly spread out from her back. It's been a long time since I've been here. Philion, who had been quiet, opened his mouth as if waking up from a long sleep. A loud laugh was heard. Bena closed her eyes and listened to her voice. - You're back. - The princess is back. - Let the queen know. - Come on, let's go tell the queen! When I opened my eyes, beautiful women like elves were flying around me, flapping my own wings. Although it was the first time they had all met, there was no sense of unfamiliarity. - Follow me, princess. One of them held out his hand. Bena held her hand without hesitation. - The queen is waiting. The place where she was led and followed was a space where a huge tree soared high into the sky. There was a hole at the bottom of the tree, and it was decorated with various flowers. The moment she saw it, Bena felt tears flowing naturally. And the forgotten memories began to come to mind one by one. -vena. my cute daughter - Your mother prepared a wreath for you. - Our daughter. Take me into this mother's arms. -Even if one day you succeed your mother and become the queen, you will always be my daughter. - My dear daughter. Sleep well. My face was blurry, so I couldn't remember it well, but I used to sleep in that hole in someone's arms. At that time, his hand was very warm, and he always slept comfortably. The one who loved you more than anyone else. All of a sudden, tears were running down my cheeks. Bena covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders. " Mom. "My daughter." The moment I heard that voice, my blurry face started to get clearer. Bena called the beautiful Valkyrie with red hair slowly descending from the sky. Mom!! vena. My lovely daughter." Bena ran straight towards her. How did you forget the precious memories of your childhood? Unable to hold back her crying, she was embraced by the queen, Hippen. Hippen said while gently stroking the daughter's hair. like this I met you again like this like this ." She also shed a tear and hugged her daughter tightly. The mother and daughter, who had been forcibly separated for 10 years, remained silent for a while, embracing each other, as if they would never separate. * * * "My daughter, have you grown a lot?" A somewhat genuine hippen said, wiping Bena's puffy eyes. Bena sighed and nodded her head. "Yeah It's grown a lot." okay. 10 years. 10 years." "I forgot all about it for 10 years. Mom and the other Valkyries." Bena was flying around the two of them as if to bless the queen and princess. Once the memory started to come back, there were quite a few familiar faces. "Are there no broken spots? where are you sick? Are you okay?" Although the Valkyrie were known for being a warlike race, they were warmer than anyone to their own blood and kindred people. Bena had a terrible past, but she didn't want to talk about it. "There is no pain. Everything was fine." "It's good. I'm really happy. How to find you... ." Hippen clenched his teeth as he recalled the past. Not wanting to show it to her daughter, she bowed her head, and Bena wept and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. "Everything is fine. You're back." okay Let's not fall again. "There are people I can introduce to you." "The children out there." I was already aware of the report. An elf and a beast resembling a bull are with Bena. You can't pretend you didn't see the benefactors who guided your precious daughter all the way here. "Bring them." - Yes, my queen. One Valkyrie went to pick up Braha and Behemoth at the Queen's command. After a while, as soon as Braha, who had been guided, saw Hippen, he politely bowed his head. "I see the Queen of the Valkyries." "Which forest elf are you from?" "My name is Brahara of Sepid Forest." "If it's Sepid You are Mulan's child. Yes. Mulan was a high elf from Sepid Forest. Thank you. Thanks to you, I was able to see my daughter like this again." "Of course it had to be done. It is the providence of nature that forest fairies return to the forest." "That is right. But who are you?" "Behemoth Party." Unlike Braha, who was politely polite, Behemoth introduced himself in a confident tone. Even in front of the Queen, I spoke comfortably without being polite, and the other Valkyries stared at the Behemoth terrifyingly. Hippen raised his hand and said to the Valkyries. "He is my daughter's benefactor." -Sorry. At those words, everyone relaxed their boundaries. The queen was said to have absolute power, and all the Valkyries acted as if they were her marionettes. "You are a strange being." "Then you look exactly like Netis." All the Valkyries, including Hippen, looked surprised at the word Netis. Hippen asked. " How do you know Netis-sama?" "Who is Netis-sama?" Bena asked Hippen with a surprised face again at the reaction of the Valkyries. Hippen frowned slightly and replied. " You are the first queen. You are our forefather." What surprised me this time was Bra. The history of the Valkyrie is as long as the elves, and if not the first queen, it was the Valkyrie of the 'forgotten history' era. I knew the Behemoth was a very old beast, but I didn't know that the first queen of the Valkyrie would know. Hippen looked at Behemoth with alert eyes and asked. "What are you?" "I have no intention of telling you that. However, I will only say one word on behalf of my master." Behemoth spoke in an unusually serious voice. Queen. The time will come when we will fight again. Then will you be brave like Nettis or hide behind like a coward? The choice is yours." Hippen couldn't say anything at those meaningful words. Behemoth shrugged and said to Bena. "And Bena." "Yes, Behemoth." "Stay healthy. And don't neglect your efforts. You are born with a mission to protect his back someday." Do not worry about it. "Then we'll go all the way." Behemoth blinked at Braha and began to leave without looking back. Bena teased Behemoth, who was about to leave too soon. "Hey, are you just going? Behemoth! Behemoth!" However, the appearance of Behemoth was gone. Braha also bowed his head to Hippen and said goodbye to Bena. vena. Be happy." "Mr Braha!" "I'll see you again if we get to know each other." The figure of Braha also disappeared. Bena ran as hard as she could to their place, but could not pursue them. She cried and muttered. "Where is this vain parting? ." Hippen came up to her and rubbed her back. "I'll see you again, so don't be sad." still ." Behemoth and Braha were savage. I could stay a little longer. Holding back her tears, she shouted into the empty void. "Next time, next time we meet, we will be stronger than we are now! exactly! It's a promise!" * * * "Is it okay if I just go like this?" "What else is wrong? Where there is a meeting, there is also a parting. And it's not like I'll never see you again. "But that's it." Braha saw the bull walking in front of him, twitching his ass.
