Celebration

"There goblins in the lake?" Ernalt said, surprise.

After they carry the goblin to the village, they go toward the village's gate.

Ernalt is there with some of the other knights playing the king's game.

The king game was like shogi in Takeuchi's world.

But the rules were added more complex as there were mages in there.

Seeing it surprised Takeuchi as there was another shogi-like game, but he didn't know there were mage pieces in there.

Now they were here with goblins in tied.

The other knights just stopped playing and listening to Raphael's story.

"Yeah, I was surprised too," Raphael said, seemingly uncomfortable that they were listeners.

After hearing Raphael's story, Ernalt said, "Alright, don't worry about it. You both can go home now. I needed to go with Raphael to the place where you found the goblins."

"Sure," replied Takeuchi, even though he said he was curious about what Ernalt would do.

"Are you okay, Raphael?" asked Lucy, worried.
