Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Thirty years ago. Not long after I've decided to be a brave man.

I saw an army of monsters, stretching out over my sight.

The monsters were called the Demon King's Army.

They distinguish the human form from the devil, from the demon other than that, Zachri.

Demons are pushing by as instructed by the Demons.

The number of enemies is about 10,000.

The Royal Army has overwhelmed the Demon King Army in numbers, but the quality seemed different.

Also, the Demon King's Army seems to be launching simultaneous attacks from various directions.

They call it one of the trump cards of the kingdom, the selector, or a magician called "The Great Demon's Guide," who fights elsewhere.

It still takes time for reinforcements from other countries with alliances to come.

Apparently, the war situation sucked.

From all over, things like fireballs fly.

A man from the kingdom who came to the robe was preventing the fireballs with a transparent wall.

The demons are getting a little closer to fighting back, dropping chunks of water and lightning.

"Damn, the dragon breed is coming!! Connect!!"

"Bring the Selector back here!! We won't keep him for long!!"

"Ghaaaaaa"

It was hell.

People are dead.

Blood splashes, flesh bounces and flies.

The scream of the severed demon, the scream of resentment, was rising everywhere.

"Lord Brave!! Please make a decision!!"

"Are you going to kill us!?"

The knights around me beg me to fight.

But you can't, like...

I don't know how you can deal with that number of compounds...

"Mm... I can't, I can't. Because... there are so many of them!? How do I fight them!?"

I was scared.

There are alien monsters like the ones I've only seen in cartoons and movies, all over my sight.

There's no way I'm not scared.

I can't. I can't fight. Scary, I don't like it, I don't want to die.

"Ma, yummy!! The dragon breed broke through the line!!"

While I was in tears, trembling, there was a change in the war.

In the deepest part of the battlefield, where we are, demons have raided.

From there, it was one-sided.

A giant dragon throws out flames and wipes people out of charcoal.

Some were devoured, screaming.

Burning strongholds, people screaming.

When I got caught up in it, I was just out of my mind.

But gradually, the firehand turns, and there is no place to escape.

The demons attacked us relentlessly for losing our escape.

No, you can't.

It was when I thought so.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!"

A blonde knight was slashed by demons along with a scream of tears.

With overwhelming power, the demons vanish instantly.

Blonde Knight - Lucifina said.

"The junction has been completely destroyed. Unfortunately, reinforcements will not make it. Gentlemen, retreat now!

While she says so, the demons attack relentlessly.

In time, following demons, the demons came too.

I couldn't escape, and I would have stood in your way.

Lucifina stood up and sheltered me.

Lucifina keeps fighting as she bleeds a tremendous amount of blood from all over her body.

One of her people gets hit with another.

Instead of decreasing, the Demons increase their moments and numbers.

Some realized that they could not win, and fled.

Unexpectedly, Lucifina turned to me and said:

"Dear brave man....... sorry"

"Huh...?

"The truth is, I shouldn't have involved you irrelevant. We should have solved the problems in this world."

Lucifina continued, wounded all over her body in the fight.

"So at least I'll use the trump card now so you can get away from here. I think this will stop the Demon King's Army from moving for a while."

With that said, Lucifina put up a purple sword.

"So run away quickly"

Lucifina was scratchy.

Bleeding from all over my body.

Never, not a light wound. If you do poorly, it's life-threatening.

Yet I didn't skip it, and Lucifi was only thinking about me and my people.

"How can you... even so, you can fight without running away... You're not scared."

Lucifina answered my question with a bitter smile.

"I'm scared."

"Then! You should run, too!! You're so strong, you can run away!?"

Splashing blood, people's deaths, and monsters.

In a situation where I couldn't keep up with my brain understanding, I was screaming for a rupture.

To protect me, there is a pardon.

Lucifina can run away.

You don't have to fight it in here, if it's easy for you to flush it out.

But Lucifina shook her neck sideways with a gentle expression.

"I'm scared. But losing something important is more scary. If I can save someone by fighting, I want to keep fighting until the end."

Nothing, I couldn't answer.

Because I didn't have the words to give it back.

"Come on, brave man. The trump card is ready. Run quickly."

"Ah... what are you going to do... After using that trump card..."

"... while serving as my lord, I will escape, too. I don't want to die either."

It's a lie, I thought.

There is no basis, but Lucifina is about to die.

"Wow... ok"

While you realize it, while you realize it.

I escaped the scene.

With our own cuteness, we did nothing and ran out abandoning Lucifina.

"... it always is"

Running, I got zero words like that from my mouth.

"Heavenly Moon Iori. You always do."

I just get flushed, take that as a good thing, and run away to the easier ones.

Haven't you ever run away in your life?

When you quarrel with a friend, when your parents die, when your relatives take you away.

I've always, always, just run away to the easier ones.

It still is.

- I want to keep fighting till the end.

Strengthen with a crying face and abandon the woman who said so?

You're saving my life twice, and you're gonna let me kill you?

Come to another world, and you run away again?

What do you want to do?

Such a letter came to my mind.

I answer.

I've decided that.

Save the world, I can't think of any bullshit.

I became a brave man because it was the result of being flushed.

But now.

I...

- I want to help him.

That was the day I started and fought.

Later, it was called "The Hero Amazu," the first line of a foolish man.

◆

"- Ri. Hey, Io"

With that voice, I returned it to me.

Looking next door, Elfi looked at me with a worried face.

Apparently, he's been thinking about it for a long time.

"... what's going on? You've been looking like a jerk since before, haven't you?

"No, it's nothing. What's wrong with that?

"... oh. We can see the Great Forest."

That said, Elfi pointed forward.

Beyond that, there was a blue forest stretching out over a cup of vision.

Looking down from above, we can see that there is a bond across the Great Forest.

I guess it prevents attacks from above and from being seen inside through the gaps in the trees.

"… this is the Great Forest of Aldrin…"

"Hmm..."

Looking down at the Great Forest, Elfi and Beldia look emotional.

The woods are so big that they don't.

'... how many subraces are there?

"I don't remember the exact number...... the typical species that live are fairy species (elves), earthly fairy species (dwarves), werewolf species (warewolf), human cat species (warcats), human dog species (wardocks), and small races (halflings)"

Quite a few species live in this great forest.

"If so many races lived, wouldn't there be many?

"I do think there is such a thing. However, the Great Forest has a 'district' for each species, which divides the dwellings."

Fairy species (elves) are divided into districts of fairy species (elves) and werewolf species (warewolf) into districts of werewolf species (warewolf).

As a result, disputes that come from differences in culture and habits seem to be becoming more difficult to arouse.

"Even if you live in the same place, you can still live together."

"Oh, the sharing of residence is pretty solid. It's not like we're gonna get involved at all, but we're gonna go over the precinct and hang out, and we're gonna work together."

Back in the day, there seemed to be some sort of territorial feud, but at the stage I came to this world, we had zoned each race and lived together.

Maybe we had to work together to prevent raids from humans and demons.

But even after the division of dwellings by compartment, the Great Forest did not seek to relate to humans or demons.

Because of its exclusivity, it belonged neither to man nor to the Demon King's Army, and the Great Forest was in a neutral position.

But the Demon King's Army does not allow it, and it also blows war on the Great Forest.

As a result, many casualties appear to have occurred.

So they made something like a truce agreement out of a relationship of interest with humans.

Still, as always, the subhumans did not actively try to engage with humans.

Such a relationship changed just about thirty years ago.

Our brave party saved the Aldrin Forest, which was under attack from the void labyrinth.

That was the cut, and the Aldrin Forest formed an alliance with the kingdom.

Nowadays, they are getting a little more involved, both with the Union and the Empire.

Although, in religious relations, it seems to be as beefy as it is with the Patriarchate.

"Then the humans and the sub-humans, thanks to Io, live together."

Elfi said that somewhere happy.

"... nothing. It just happened by chance."

"Still, the saved must be grateful to you."

"... Iori. Fine, great guy. Great. '

"... Shut up"

I get itchy and I turn away from Elfi.

"Oh, is it lit? It's lit, isn't it?

"... Iori, cute"

Ugh......

Ignore the two of you and look down at the Great Forest.

I miss the growing forest somewhere.

You defeated the demons that came down from the void labyrinth, working with the subhumans.

The sub-people who were staring at us at first also smiled and said, 'Come back.'

Will the sub-people I knew back then still be doing well?

... Thirty years after that?

For me, thirty years was an instant.

If I thought I'd been killed, I'd be in the world thirty years later.

But not for the others.

I can only imagine.

The weight of this thirty year month, which passed in an instant.

…………

My head hurts.

The more I feel like throwing up, the worse I feel.

"But if it's about thirty years, do some people know about the time? Maybe someone I know in Iwo..."

Elfi is saying something, but the headache didn't make it sound good.

Elfi still peeks at me with a worried look.

"Are you all right from earlier? You look a lot pale."

"Oh...... I'm fine"

"Don't push it too hard. Are you drunk? Shall I rub your back?

"Thanks, I was just doing a little thinking. … and it's time to get there."

Looks like an entrance, I see an open place.

I don't really remember the terrain because I was just following the guidance of the kingdom at the time.

If I remember correctly, there would have been a section of some race around here.

A short distance away, Beldia went down to the ground.

Immediately, let it return to its human appearance.

Elfi also firmly changed into a human figure.

"Some subhumans have the sharpness to spot lies. I think it's all right, but be on your guard. I'll negotiate."

Together, they approach the entrance.

After a while, I began to feel the gaze of multiple people.

It grew stronger and stronger, and it was time to come just near the entrance.

"This is the entrance to the Aldrin Great Forest and District III! From what I've seen, I don't seem to be a person in the kingdom, but which country are you from!! '

Somewhere, I hear a man like that.

I don't see him, but he's got a pretty tingly vibe.

They're quite alert.

"... I didn't expect you to be so vigilant. Maybe something happened."

"Hmm... apparently in a tight situation"

"Tie him up and do what?"

Urgently.

Elfi makes me lose my strength.

Refreshing my mind, I uttered a pre-prepared wording.

"We are the adventurers of the Union! I'm here to investigate the void labyrinth!

"United States......?

Surprising man voice.

'We have not received such a reward!

"We're moving in secrecy! This is proof that we are adventurers!

That's what I said, I put up my guild card.

Elfi is making it look the same.

Alliance cards are made in a special way and cannot be easily counterfeited.

It's a good enough substitute for an ID.

Besides, we're A-rank adventurers.

If you are the highest-ranked among adventurers, it would be persuasive to say that you are moving in secret.

Besides, I'm not lying.

Who's that?

"He's not an adventurer, but he's our collaborator! I'm asking you to help me fulfill my request."

Here's an excuse when it comes to Beldia, who doesn't have a guild card.

This is not a lie either.

…………

The Lord of the Voice was silent for a while to contemplate,

'Right now, we are in a pressing situation! I'm sorry, but you can't let me in right now!

After a while, I answered that.

Urgent situation, huh?

After all, something seems to have happened.

"So how long can we wait and have them inside?

"I can't answer that! I have to talk to the district manager, and there's no guarantee I can get him inside!

…………

More than I thought, I didn't get a stingy attitude.

But it's a hassle not knowing when to get in.

Did something go wrong inside, or the Great Forest was raided... something is going on, I hear.

The timing of our arrival is problematic... is it good to take it as a coincidence?

This also has the potential to block the signs and force us into the Great Forest.

Nevertheless, it seems better to leave here once.

It was when I looked at the Elphis and tried to open my mouth.

'Eh, that... Wait a minute.'

Unexpectedly, I heard another voice.

Now it's a woman's voice.

"Uh, uh, huh?

'Hey, what's up!? What are you doing!?'

Along with such an upset voice, one subman emerged from the gaps in the trees.

I stabbed a sword in the back, a brown-haired woman.

I had two ears growing from my head.

Probably a man-dog breed.

The woman of the human dog breed approaches us, sniffing her nose at Sung Sung.

"Uh... lying. Oh, no."

Yes, right after I whined about something.

Suddenly, the woman of the human dog breed has dashed with fierce momentum toward this one.

"Mm!?"

……

Elfi and Beldia stand up.

But I can't feel any hostility or homicide from this man's dog breed.

……

And I saw the woman's face at close range, and it hardened.

In that gap, a woman of the human dog breed made a tackle.

Strengthen your body to withstand the shock.

The woman rubbed her face happily, regardless of me.

And here's what I called you.

"Mr. Amatsu, Mr. Amatsu, Amatsu. Come on!

I know this woman in front of me.

Ku Raimel.

Thirty years ago, she was the daughter of a man who was the district chief of the human dog breed.
