The Ansyrium-Lakeside, which would have become a sea of fire, was unaffected, which made Riley, who returned to Ansyrium through the portal, breathed a sigh of relief.

“I thought that the character of Abyss would have made Andal’s heart disturbed. Isn’t that so?”

After pa.s.sing through the portal, Riley saw Abyss and Andal were standing side by side and stared at him. He felt that he might have thought wrong, so he couldn’t help but laugh.

“But it seems this little guy is saying what to do while jesting about it?”

“…”

Riley could only immediately stop his teasing manner.

“No matter what happened in his past life, it was over. How can the guy under the age of 20 talk so much here?”

Although Riley didn’t know what they had said during the period when he was absent, it was in accordance with his expectation to some extent. Looking at Andal, who was angry with Abyss, Riley sighed and walked over there.

“I will be back soon, please give me a sec.”

In order to introduce Abyss and Andal, Riley intended to bring them both here. But every time Riley moved, the six people who followed him began to sway their heads and whispered.

“Is Andel the two over there?”

“Definitely not! I’ve said explicitly that Andel is one person. I think it may be one of the two.”

“The young boy who looks younger than Iril… Shouldn’t it be him? I think Andel is definitely older than him.”

“Is it the red-haired one?”

“Wait a moment, the red-haired one… I used to see him in the mansion… Who is he?”

Sera looked at the red-haired person with a puzzled expression. Nainiae thought if it would be better to tell the truth earlier, so he said with a sigh.

“He is actually the one who has come to the Mansion last time. He is the doctor who has healed me in Rainfield, do you remember?”

“The doctor? Ah! I remember it!”

“Doctor? Did the doctor appear for the first time?”

“Exactly.”

Sera, who was suddenly enlightened, clapped his hands as he exchanged his eyesight with Iril, who nodded frequently, and Priesia, who had recognized Andal. Nainiae, who was watching them, briefly adjusted his breathing and pointed to Andal.

“As you have a.n.a.lyzed when you pointed at the first person, it is actually the red-haired one over there.”

“Oh, what a pity.”

“Why? Just because there is no reversal?”

“Commander, were you niggling us before?”

“No no!”

“… cough cough!”

Interrupting Iril and Nara’s quarrel with a cough, Nainiae began the introduction with the name of the red-haired man he had just pointed at.

“That is ‘Andal’.”

“Andal?”

“What a strange name.”

Crossing his fingers, Iril put his hands on the back of his head and murmured to himself with a smile.

—

“Well, this name, I seem to have heard it before? Where did I hear it? I have known it clearly…”

Because of this familiar name, Iril smiled and began to frown to try to figure out when and where she had heard the name. Very soon, she seemed to think of something, her expression hardened.

“… Wait a moment.”

Iril remembered where she first met Nainiae and Riley, and soon she looked palely at Nainiae, who introduced the name “Andal”.

“Could it be…?”

Nainiae nodded and affirmed her thoughts.

“…it’s that Andal.”

“…”

Riley had been looking at Nainiae who was introducing Andal to the rest five people with a pity, now he walked over to Abyss.

“You are here.”

Over Riley’s shoulder, Abyss saw the five people becoming excited due to the show up of Andal. He felt very interesting, smiling as greeting Riley.

“Riley.”

Riley pushed Abyss’s shoulder hard, and then Andal, standing aside, began to frown and glared at Riley.

“I have heard your story.”

Andal’s words made Riley, who stood next to Abyss and gave Abyss a glance, sigh shortly and shrugged.

“So, it would also be fine for me not to introduce him to you.”

“You owed me a debt at that time.”

“Debt?”

“You said you would offer me a drink.”

Abyss, who was pushed to Andal by Riley, smiled and said that he would drink a cup of wine to repay him. Meanwhile, Riley also shook his head with a smile.

“Forget it, that guy may have heard the general explanation. I will go straight to the point…”

Riley had wanted to ask a question, but was interrupted by Andal, who was clutching his fist tightly.

“…when?”

“Eh?”

“The world you lived in! When to go there?”

Riley, on the other hand, seemed to be angry because Abyss was too aggressive in asking questions. He replied with sweat.

“Today, definitely.”

“Today? Are you sure it is today?”

Looking at Andal, who was as excited as a child, Riley looked at Abyss doubtfully. And Abyss just shook his head helplessly.

“I understand what you have said before now. I… I know what c.o.ke is as well.”

“What?”

“Cars, airplanes, high-rise buildings… Why didn’t you say that the world over there has a civilization that this world hasn’t?”

After listening to Andal’s question, Riley knew why he was so excited. Then he couldn’t hide his tired expression and replied.

“You should calm down first.”

It occurred to Nainiae sometimes, and the same also happened to Salvation… The desire to study the novelty encountered for the first time seemed to dominate the rationality of the Red Dragon once again .

“The little guy is not interested in the story of you and me.”

Watching Andal turned the target of the question from him to Riley, Abyss was very pleased, once again looking at the five people who hadn’t calmed down from the impact yet.

“Are these six people you brought then?”

“…Yes.”

Riley pushed Andal away, who followed him closely and kept asking about the civilization of  “past life”, and answered Abyss’ questions.
