I was banished from bed with my lover by a brave man, but my 'XP Savings' skill broke and

A few days away from the front line.

We made it to the capital of Greyfield, and we were walking to the palace.

It is the king of Greyfield who sits on the throne.

Still in his forties and young, his eyes are rising with strength.

"- Are you saying the brave have betrayed us!

"I saw it with this eye. Sain, the brave man was taken by the Demon King to the Dark Realm."

"I didn't expect those to be taken in the other way! You did a hell of a job!

The king fisted his elbow.

Heavy air lies between the sights.

As far as I can tell, the brave men who have joined hands with the Demon King have not been alone in looking at their long history.

Maybe they just erased their existence, but the certainty is that there has been no betrayal for the last five hundred years or so.

I have already included a report in King Arman's scroll of messages.

Within the early days King Barseille will also receive the betrayal of Sein.

"But what is it? Every country is now absent enough heroes to possess holy weapons. Plus, I don't have enough troops on this side to fight the Demon King. If only we had at least a little more time."

"If it's time, we'll make money. The demon king and the brave must be defeated."

"Hmm, was he an ex-best friend to my ex-lover? Are you really prepared to kill those two?"

"Yes."

I say it out loud.

Honestly, it's not for the world or for peace.

It's a complete personal grievance.

Sayne tormented Nay and Soara.

Lisa who killed her parents.

I just can't forgive these two.

If you don't put a bullet in my hand.

"Great. Now let's give your lord the title of brave man."

"... what?

I don't know exactly what I'm talking about and I expose my asshole face.

I'm the brave one?

What's that, a new joke?

"That said, it would be Arman country to give the title. More than this has happened, we must fill the seats of the brave as soon as we can reach them. If possible, your lord was a brave man."

"Hey, hey, come on! I can't believe I'm a brave man!

"It's about morale in every country. If a brave man were to betray him, there would come out those who pessimist him. I want the Cartoon Brigade to carry that role, not to crush my hopes."

Wait, don't take it personally.

I didn't say yes.

Let's give up a hundred steps and accept the hero, but no brave men.

Once you are, you will continue to be noted for every move until you die.

I've told you many times, I don't like to stand out.

You'll never be a brave man.

"You seem to find it hard to accept."

"Naturally. I'm sorry, but the brave men will be spared."

"I know it's a great honor to keep your name in history, but I want you to let me know what you're unhappy with"

"Meh, I hate the first one..."

It's a little embarrassing because it's the reason.

Well, I'm honestly glad to be chosen as a brave man.

But I haven't been a good star for a long time.

More or less, I'm not human enough to carry a lot of responsibilities and duties.

I was born and raised mediocre in a small village and became a warrior admiring the back of my best friend who could do anything, he's an ordinary man everywhere.

So there's not so much you can carry.

A brave man is too heavy for me.

"Let's say, then, that the title of brave man is given to the Cartoon Brigade. Wouldn't that keep your name down and still be able to operate?

"Oh, not again."

"Don't refuse that. It has already been whispered that the Cartoon Brigade is a true brave man in the alley. We're just talking about giving the rumor a tattoo. If you don't want to be a brave man, you just have to break up the party once."

I see, should we dissolve it and reconstitute it under a new name?

That would free us from the title and allow us to return to our former free lives.

But can I be a brave man even though I don't have a brave man's job?

I understand that it is only a substitute, but I can't believe that a warrior is just a brave man...

"And I want you to wait to step into the dark realm. Although the fort has been dropped, the protection is still precarious. After spending a lot of time in this city, could you please leave?"

"Okay. So, what do I do while I wait?

"Bath."

Huh?

◇

The inhabitants of Grayfield are bath lovers and famous.

The ultimate thing is called a mass bath, the existence of a bath for anyone.

Says the mighty take a bath three times a day.

Says the milk after getting out of the bath seems exceptional.

Says the guy who doesn't take a bath in Greyfield is an idiot.

On the rabbit and on the corner. This country revolves around the bath.

It's a feeling I don't understand from the rest of us.

"Wouldn't that be great?"

Soak in the hot tub and drain your body.

Strangers are similarly soaked in water and look sloppy with a towel on their head.

Do I look like that too?

But I feel good enough to think I don't care about that.

I guess I've been too tired of all sorts of things lately here.

Soaking in water seems to dissolve fatigue and weight.

"How's the water in our country?"

"Wow!? How did you get here!??

At some point there was a king on the side.

Is it okay for you to come here?

You're the king. It's like a bath for civilians in here.

"Never mind. Several escorts are lost here. Besides, it's not the first time the rest of us have come here. About once a day."

"Not every day."

Are you working, this king?

I'll take a look around, but no one seemed uncomfortable having him.

It's more like looking at him and saying, "How are you, Your Majesty?"

What kind of country is this?

"By the way, aren't you willing to move to our country?"

"That."

"Be a Greyfield hero. No, in this case I should say brave."

All he wanted to say was that he would return Arman's title and be awarded it again in Greyfield.

There's nothing you can't do, but if you do, you will surely buy King Arman's wrath.

Me too, King Greyfield.

"I'll stop. I want to get along with Arman, and I want to return the title of a hero."

"Abnegation."

"It's not. I like freedom. I know you forgot, but I'm an adventurer. Go wherever you want, do whatever you want, and eat as good as you want. Rather, he thinks he's greedy."

The king said, "I see. Certainly greedy," deposits his back on the edge of the bath.

"Do you think you can defeat the Demon King?"

"I don't know, I'm going to do that on the feelings, but you wouldn't actually know it unless you tried relative. Strength has a lot of openings, so you can't talk about it without filling it in first."

"You're an honest man. I like honest people the rest."

"Thank you."

Maybe the king came all the way here to find out what I meant.

Anyway, the demon king and the brave men who betrayed him are the ones who knew him well.

It's normal to be wary if you're going to betray me.

Well, I'm worried for nothing.

"I hear you have two slaves."

"One of us, though."

"Then you should go to the two temples of holy weapons in this country. If you have the strength to do so, you will also be able to strengthen your battles."

You mean let Kaede and Frau unplug the holy weapons?

Come to think of it, it was time for Kaede's iron fans to come to a place that needed repairing.

It wasn't originally a weapon made of that strong material.

If you two can be owners, it's definitely a huge boost.

"And I'm going to talk to you, but I'm going to give your lord's party a guide for a while. He's very familiar with our country, but what do you think?"

"I appreciate that. I'd love to."

"Then I should have. They're just waiting outside."

Zabu, the king gets up with a smile on his face.

"Ha-ha-ha, nice to meet you! It's the First Princess Luna!

…………

Waiting outside the bathroom was a beautiful princess in a pink dress.
