Heibon na Watashi wa Tonikaku Hibon

The two of you who have emerged from the magic formation are royalized before me.

"Rio, what have you been doing for the last two weeks?

"What... I had a normal life here"

"Why didn't the metastatic magic activate for two weeks after I was living normal lives?

"Uh, that's..."

He turned his attention to Arf, who was setting aside behind me to ask Lady Ray.

So for the first time, I noticed that Arf's red eyes were turning blue.

"... that? Ahf, your eyes..."

The spirits fly around me squeaking like that.

He seems to be telling me not to touch the color of his eyes to read from the gesture he was desperately told.

I don't know why, but the horn on the rabbit. He wanted to hide the color of his own eyes from the two of us, so I decided to draw it from him.

"Who is that?

Master Ray asks me if you were suspicious of me for stopping moving while I watched Arf.

"Oh, he... uh..."

I got stuck in words trying to introduce you.

In the first place, I know very little about him either.

I don't know how to introduce you...

"It's Arphalt."

……

"Uh, uh, he's been helping me where the demons attacked me the first day and I'm dying, and he's been coming to see how things are going ever since."

……

……

Please, I don't want you to shut up feeling like three men staring at each other.

I can't stand being caught between them.

The spirits also fly around worried, and the demons who live there look this way from the window.

"Are you hurt?

"To?"

Unexpectedly, Mr. Tonic asked.

"Though I told you I was dying of demons on my first day. Are you hurt enough?

"Oh, that's okay too, because Arf cured me"

He laughs at me that I should have nodded and returned it.

Lady Ray approached us with a small breath watching us interact like that.

"Well, I have a lot to ask, but if Rio was safe, that's fine. You've worked hard for two weeks here."

Pong, and unexpectedly opens his eyes to the hand on his head.

Oh, yeah.

They... they were the only ones who were kind.

You've always been sweet.

Whether they said tough things or made me do tight things, they were still kind.

He waited for me until I stood up, even as I twitched.

He never gave me a hand, but he never left me.

Even if I mocked someone else for being reckless, only they believed me.

As clumsy as they were, they were still kind.

I finally realized after I left that I was so happy.

"It's not bad to live here."

For the first time in this world, I said with a heartfelt smile.

I couldn't help but feel glad that Lady Ray and Tonic, who had so slightly opened their eyes to me, still smiled and laughed at me like that.

Uh-huh.

- I'm sorry.

"I do think there was a literature that said that demons like sweet things..."

"You were such a great guy to put that into practice and be successful."

The demons (cohabitants) who decided that Ray and Tonic were not dangerous people came inside and stopped moving when they saw that they were starting to relax in their thoughts. They told me that they were impressed.

"Most of the demons in these woods seem to be of a less ferocious kind, which is why Arf said they must have succeeded."

"You know more about demons?

"Not that I'm familiar with it, but, well, you have some knowledge."

"Where do you live?

"I live in a small village near here. I used to go here to procure food."

"So you ran into Rio occasionally (by chance)?

"Oh. I tried to abandon him at first, but I didn't have to ask him if he was going to live. I couldn't help but pick it up."

"Oh, there's something about him that's so persistent in vain."

"And I won't give up inside"

"Indeed."

"Hey, are you praising that? Derogatory?"

First full table for four.

It's just a brief afternoon, but if you look calmly at the members who are here right now, it can actually be outrageous.

One or the most powerful magician in this country.

One or the deputy captain of a group of combat fanatics.

A powerful man who sees one or the Spirit.

visitors from one or another world.

And the demons and spirits that surround us.

I wondered if I could take the country with this face, and I really thought half of it.

"Were you listening, Rio?

If you look at the three of us talking all the time, Master Ray accidentally turned to us.

"Heh?... heh,"

"You didn't hear that, did you?

"Smitty"

Now I get pushed back to listening properly.

"A month later, an army of demon king crusades headed by a goddess was to be formed. Me and Tonic will be chosen as its members, too"

So, for a month from today, we're gonna stay here and give you some final guidance.

"The last one..."

"If you can't take command of me or Tonic, it's the same thing."

"Me and Ray have turned down all the invitations, but in the end it's the goddess who says that Masaka or something that decides the members. There is no doubt that Ray, the top magician, and I, the frontline pioneer, will be chosen as a crusader member. but among them, the magicians are entrusted with pointing out the decorative top magician, Halloween Lycrall, and the knight commands the greenhouse-raised King's Guard captain, Lunas Iran. If the commander fails, the battle will be lost."

"If either of us, Lord Kleehardt, can take command, there is still hope, but this Demon King crusade will end in failure."

"Is that what you're going to do?

"We're human beings in this country, too. No matter how little loyalty you have to the king, I don't think that's why you're doomed. At least there are a few people who don't want you dead."

"That's what I'm saying. Because you're one of them."

"Huh?"

"It would be obvious. That's why I came here to push all my men to do their jobs. If we're gone, we can live alone."

……

He spends his time grasping his fist at the chunks of emotion that are racing up his throat.

Yeah, I wonder what I can give them back what they got me.

I don't have anything. I don't know what they can do.

He taught me how to fight.

It gave me the art of living in this world.

But I can't give anything back.

He said he was helpless.

I thought I was so helpless that I couldn't save him.

I was so powerless that I had to ask them to teach me to go to the dead, I was so full of myself, I felt sorry for myself.

But that's why let's make everything they tell me my thing.

Wear them without a shred, so that they can travel a month later and focus only on protecting themselves without worrying about anything.

That's the only thing I can do.
