Gear Drive

My name is Torne Krieger.

This, Cardiff's city, the gatekeeper's old man.

Grandma the gatekeeper, speaking of me (Tornay).

Speaking of me (Torne), I'm the gatekeeper's old man.

Hmm.

I've been in this city for a long time, but since this city was created, there's been a big case.

Bergbear's been sighted.

Four years ago, even when Wolf broke into the city, it became a commotion.

At that time, I was able to crusade relatively quickly, working with our guys and the idiosyncratic lightning users who happened to be in Donios. We weren't very helpful though.

But in this case, the degree of vigilance is different.

Of course Wolf is a dangerous demon when herds.

Because I'm weak, I flock. That's the trouble.

But Bergbear is different.

He doesn't flock. Because it's strong.

A C-rank Adventurer is a bakemon enough to defeat him at a party.

Would it be easy to understand if I said that my strength would not reach the critical D-rank? This is still the best way to stand up in this city.

What was witnessed appeared to be a bush along the street at the northeast entrance.

... Dude, 400 Mertorte isn't it?

There was an immediate circular and today's doors closed, about two zica faster than usual.

With the protection of the city gate and the response of a merchant who was able to do so temporarily from the outside, it will be all night today. Damn, I couldn't do it in the daytime, but I should have eaten it in Derek's dining room.

I've known Kinkira Derek for a long time. We've been friends since he was in a charcoal pit. I didn't know he was going to shoot Sora...... On the other hand, as a friend, I was stunned by the difference I made with my own wife. My daughter-in-law is like a round slime, because she's a potcha type... well, he's an array, a pretty adorable good woman.

Rumor has it, it's not a shadow, it's Kinkira's parents and children.

Derek is coming this way.

If it was always this time, I would be sleeping or eating knobs at home. The planting must be over.

It's rare to see them outside. In the moonlight, those blondes stand out.

With my only daughter, Anne, who?

Don't rush me...

"Whoa, what's up, Derek!... Anne, and Log? What? Take two kids."

"Torne, two kids, they're out there. Utah and Anna."

"... tell me it's a lie, Derek"

The moment Derek spoke, his head turned white.

This guy never tells lies that hurt people.

I knew immediately that Derek wasn't joking.

... but it was still something I couldn't care less if I hadn't eaten it.

"The gate must have closed! No one!!

"They used a water pulling gate. Log is asking."

! Holy crap......

"Fuck off!! Konovo!! Bring me just to be out of the jar! And oil! We're searching!!"

As soon as I'm a young apprentice, I speak up.

The water pull gate does check the lock at the end.

By then, you're out of here!

From the first confirmation, three or four jikas have already passed. Yabe, you could be pretty far away.

─ ─ ─ It was time to think about that.

...... gooooooooooooooooo......

Berg, it's Bear.

"Stop it, stop it. I'm not drinking today."

This is a bad dream.

"The search is aborted."

"Translate."

Derek urges you to answer.

"The search from now on uses fire"

"What's wrong?"

"If it's about Wolf, run away with fire. Well, he's not. Fire is only a landmark. We'll be eaten before we find Utah."

"But..."

"That's why"

It was Antti, beside Derek, who covered his voice.

"That's why! Two kids! I know you're out there and you know it with the gate closed!! Granny! Grandma's a gatekeeper, isn't she?! So! Is that okay!?

I cried in tears, and I was screamed.

This guy resembled Derek and his roots grew straight up.

But I'm a gatekeeper.

Make your heart a ghost. But you have to make a choice to protect people.

I explained.

Bergbear said that with the fire of the pine lights, he would find the city.

Once he finds a place to eat, he'll make a mess of it.

Which way, at noon, the gates and the currents of some will be seen...

"So, so..."

"What are you going to do?"

Derek has asked for a response.

"Exploring the woods only stimulates him. And we're weak. If you see him, he'll just eat you. Send Donios a use. The voice now comes from a hill in the back of the forest. The streets should still be a long way to go.

From the sighted northeastern streets we circled into the northwestern woods...

Now I might be able to send the use without being informed of the city entrance.

Can we search in the morning?

"... difficult. The best armor in this city has only two hampers of oak leather armor. I can't tell my men to go to the one who dies if I see them. I want to pray that Utah and the others are hiding until we call the adventurers of Donios."

I said it myself, and I thought it was embarrassing.

Even though I'm a gatekeeper, I've been protecting the city here the whole time.

Prayer, etc.

What kind of excuse does Hedo have?

I'm weak.

My remorse was probably detected by Derek.

He immediately called out to his daughter.

"Antti, log, go home"

"But!"

"Go home!

Anne said she said something, but Derek's expression made her go with the log.

"... Derek, I'm sorry. I..."

"Torne. I trust your arm as a gatekeeper. No one died that day four years ago because you were in this city. Induction of Wolf, instructions on evacuation routes. The right way to hide yourself. This city is full of people who thank you."

…………

"There is only, there is"

Even Derek, Anna and Utah know each other well.

Ever since I was a baby, Antti and I grew up like brothers and sisters.

It's like family. Damn, damn it.

"Sorry......"

"... to Donios, let's use it"

I'm helpless. When I was younger, I went everywhere for adventurers. And I was frustrated. To this city, honestly, I may have escaped.

But even I couldn't make my dreams come true, and with all the knowledge I've had, when there are people I can protect, that's what I came to think...

"... torne"

"Oh, my God, Derek"

It wasn't worth the age, it was depressing.

We need to decide who's going to Donios soon.

That's when Derek called and pointed.

"Look at that..."

"! ------Burn, you jerk!"

I saw a fire in the middle of the mountain, sure.
