Middle-aged Adventurer Kein's Good Deed

That was twenty years ago in Kuko Mountain.

"Altena!"

Kane and Altena, who were unfamiliar rookie adventurers, are unluckily surrounded by a herd of goblins.

Altena stood up aggressively to cover Kane, who was about to be stabbed with a spear that one goblin shook up.

Common story if you're an adventurer.

But for them, too cruel a tragedy.

Kane waved an iron sword and managed to bring down a flock of goblins.

So, I rushed over to Altena, but the chest wound stabbed with a sharp spear was fatal, and it was no longer too late.

"Good for you Kane, you're safe..."

"Altena, don't talk. I'll take care of it now!

With handheld bandages and medicinal herbs, he manages to stop the blood, but from the wounds on Altena's chest there is no more blood.

In Kane's arms, Altena's life was about to run out.

"It's all right now. Thanks........."

"What do you want!

The wound is deep and I can't stop bleeding.

Kane on his younger day wept, still holding the wound in a bandage trying to stop the blood.

"I, forever, will keep an eye on Kane... from..."

"Altena! You're lying...... Altena!

Kane's screams echo on Mount Kuko.

Then Kane ran desperately to find a way to resurrect Altena, but it was an impossible story for a new adventurer.

The remains of Altena became irreversible and were generously buried in the church, where the two grew up.

A suicide note was then discovered from Altena's luggage.

Since we decided to be adventurers with Kane, Altena has been ready for what if.

The letter even spelled out words of appreciation for Kane.

That the time I spent with Kane in the orphanage was always a lovely moment, a day that shone like a gem.

That I can be an adventurer, that I will continue to be with Kane, and that I am very happy.

If I were dead, the kind Kane would surely blame myself.

But that's not Kane's fault, so he wants you to never blame yourself.

That Kane wants you to keep up the good work and help those in need as adventurers.

That no matter what happens, Altena was happy to have an adventure together.

And that Altena keeps an eye on Kane the whole time.

Then twenty years later, Kane continued to hunt even herbs on Mount Cuco.

Perhaps Kane didn't have the talent to be an adventurer.

I couldn't get promoted all the way from the D-rank, and eventually became a "herb hunter" and other adventurers.

Still, Kane continued to hunt even herbs while helping people he met in the mountains.

That's how Altena's soul stayed on the ground all the time and kept an eye on Kane like that as promised.

The turning point came when Kane picked up a thin, dirty statue in his twentieth year.

It was a statue of God forgotten and breathless by men.

Kane washed the abandoned statue beautifully and set up a small temple to worship it generously as a mountain god.

Altena's soul kept an eye on Kane the whole time.

Remember your promise to Altena, Kane continued to do well on Mount Kuko.

The twinkling thoughts of those two eventually reached beneath Audia, the Lord God who unites the gods.

And Altena's soul was endowed with power as a god of good.

"Well, it was Altena who helped me so far"

Kane found the 'Resurrection Fruit', the sword stuck in the head of the dragon, the massive fall of nuts in a crisis of absolute desperation after being attacked by the Cars, and the fact that he was safe against numerous monsters...

It wasn't a coincidence that Altena watched over Kane as a god of good.

"Kane, Kane!

Calling Kane gently, the nostalgic voice of Altena, its beautiful figure is divinely shining.

Does this mean that I have become a god?

Altena's redhead hair had turned to a clear golden color, but her gentle smile staring at Kane remained Altena unchanged.

Oh, so much on the side, I can feel Altena.

"Altena. Thank you for helping me!

Kane hugs Altena hard, keeping the tears flowing from her eyes.

Embracing her so hard that she would never let go again, Kane was finally able to convey to Altena the words she couldn't say on that day twenty years ago.
