Chirp, chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp-chirp.

The birds in the trees were singing a clear, bright song.

The shadowed forest was strewn with morning dew.

Through the shade of the forest, sunlight fell in thin, scattered shafts.

Today would surely be another scorching day.

I lifted my gaze toward the distance.

——It seemed I had already walked a very, very long road.

Travel.

I am traveling.

No matter where I go…… a long journey.

I have walked through dim, shadowed forests, and looked upon a boundless sea……

I have crossed the Country of Wind, the Country of Water, the Country of Fire, and the Country of Earth,

a journey made alone.

I love to travel.

An instrument on my back, I pass from one city to the next,

traveling like a migratory bird.

——And yet.

I always feel that something is missing.

Something I lost on "that day."

"That day," when I lost my memory,

which people further call the center of this world's faith in the angels.

An aimless, long, and never-ending journey.

My time has stopped.

Keeping a pure, flawless white radiance……

Taken from a bird that does not exist in this world,

so that the hollow in my chest, left by the loss of memory, might be filled.

Even after all this time, it is still just as it was the first time I saw it,

living, over and over, the days of a wandering exile.

Ageless, undying……

…………

It is certainly no ordinary feather.

…………

Strange to say, this city is not on the map at all.

…………

【Mage】

In search of what brought my time to a stop,

yes, it was from that moment on……

an uninterrupted journey.

They say it lies in……

A beautiful sunset dyed the whole sky red.

The weather was this fine,

and yet a plague was raging through the city.

As for me, though,

my condition right now was still fairly good.

Just as the girl in the dream said……

Could my relationship with Rusty

affect the state of my body?

Mm. It's about time I slept.

The barrier elixir for keeping bears away……

Huh?

The barrier elixir is nearly used up.

This is bad.

It's something I use every day.

I have to restock it before it runs out.

The first thing to do tomorrow

is to go see Shaliya.

【%n】

"Shaliya should be in, right?"

Clack.

【%n】

No matter how much medicine I make, it still isn't enough."

The elixirs made by the Welles Magic Shop,

【Shaliya】

"What's wrong? What is it?"

"And besides…… I have even busier things to do."

【Shaliya】

I can't ask Mom to go……"

【%n】

From the way Shaliya told it,

【%n】

this was absolutely a fine chance of success.

There's simply no time to go looking for materials."

%n, come in first!"

【%n】

【%n】

【%n】

"Is Shaliya making them all alone?"

"……Eh? Ehh?"

Is she a bear?

"Yeah, it's really a bother……

"Yeah, the barrier elixir……"

"What on earth happened? What's going on?"

Meaning, the kind used by the church headquarters in the royal capital.

Welcome."

【Shaliya】

"Busy, are you?

【%n】

"Auuu~ is %n angry?"

I'll just ask her.

"A-wa-wa-wa……

【December 4】

What I heard Fia say last time—

the power of angels…… and that illness with its fixed pattern.

What she described…… sounds like me.

Through the power of angels, time can be brought to a stop……

Someone once told me that.

This city…… seems to be hiding something more.

That person…… must know all of it.

I'll go to the church.

I'll confirm it with the pastor.

I climbed a very long flight of stairs,

making for the church at the far end of Fodiyou Town.

The church.

I hope I can see the pastor.

【Clavis】

"Excuse me, is the pastor in?"

【Pastor】

"Oh, Clavis…… I've heard the rumors."

【Clavis】

"Rumors……?"

【Clavis】

I never prayed for eternal life!"

【Pastor】

Because a wish someone made has already come true,

then Fia and Rusty……

The angel's feather that can make any wish come true."

A miracle guided by the power of God…… what is that supposed to mean!?"
