Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

It looked great, but Heeko said he was not going to maintain a vertical roll.

"Why not? I think it would be very gorgeous and lovely if the three of you were in line."

"No, he's really lost his mind………."

"Don't waste your time talking about such a lost cause. Let's do it as three daughters in a vertical roll."

"Give me a break..."

Heeko, who says so, has already declared defeat. He covers his bright red face with both hands and slams it against his desk.

"I'm not... I don't want to be stylish or imitate my lil sister, but maybe if I roll vertically, I can increase my power... that's really all I'm gonna do. So Lil, please don't tell my sister I'm begging you......!

If it's a vertical roll, it's a terrible excuse for powering up or something, but I'm afraid knowing Lil is going to inadvertently convince me.

Serena slightly loosened her mouth to a smiling heeko, and I'm going to leave this about it. You said how many warriors Heeko was in the past, and you were a maiden of her age. We have to keep it to ourselves to make fun of the pranks.

"Aside from that...... I hear the battle with Krook Looper was a fierce one

"Yeah…… I think so."

Change the story on the occasion that the beverage I ordered arrived at the table.

Serena and Heeko were moving the place from the barber shop to the bar. When, the place next to that Krook Looper.

Death fights after death fights. Kruk Looper's principles of action kept killing the world's heroic candidates. Serena had heard the truth.

Because of his best friend he once lost, he kept killing.

Seeing the death of a human being who could also be called his partner, Krook Looper sank into madness.

The way of life is easy to understand even though it is distorted. Serena also had something to feel.

"Mr. Heeko. Am I a flirtatious man?"

"Something, all of a sudden"

Not all of a sudden.

Serena was ordering. A sip of sweet, palatable alcohol, not very strong.

"I am…… laughable right now"

After 300 years of living, the man still didn't forget about his best friend. I kept my best friend angry when he was murdered.

That must be with Lyla, who was invited by Krook Looper.

Serena reminds me of her first battle with Krook Looper.

He boasted of his rough moves and, more importantly, had a stronger heart to support them than anyone else. The man was definitely crazy, but still had an unshakeable core everywhere.

What about myself compared to that?

Honorable Clanmaster, Doha. who was a master and grandfather.

One of the people I lost in the hundred layers was my own grandfather. I slapped my monogamous martial arts into Serena, but that's why I taught people not to kill. He was a harsh and bigoted man, but he's Serena's only flesh parent.

The other Toja was a friend. Lyla and Toja. Those two were my first friends to reach out to Serena with an odd background.

They were important people. I can still assure you that I'm the one who meets you in three fingers in Serena's life. You said you lost those two at the same time, but you never went mad.

Serena's answer to her self-derision was answered with Lila's expression at that time and her subsequent actions.

"Maybe he was right."

The new encounter was fun and the oblivion was pleasant. I'm too tired to keep my anger. It feels barren everywhere to keep in pain.

Serena was that kind of person.

"That's normal."

No, Heeko returned it.

Not to console me, but the tone that makes things too obvious, rather, made Serena Kyoton.

"He was amazing. He was super strong, and most importantly, he couldn't shatter the hardness of his beliefs. But you can't be an apprentice."

Heeko, who talks about it, also lives a long way from a mediocre upbringing. I was once struck by a disaster like losing my hometown. The twitching of wandering life from there is also engraved in the body and mind of Heeko. How much would you have lost someone close to you? How hard would it have been to see?

The pure desire to be strong was sharp and hard sharpened to the point of magic. It's not even twenty years of Heeko's life, but still she should have a very untold story sleeping in her chest overnight.

Hold that, and still, Heeko speaks.

"Surely the pain and anger may have turned us into memories. But I didn't forget."

Krook Looper barked. What are you laughing at? I yelled at you for being out of your mind.

It's just that those who still live today have to laugh.

That's also the strength of people, Heeko tells them.

"The dead are the dead, the living. We are alive. We are. We had nothing more to do with each other, so we just had to move forward with an empty hole in our chest."

Some people listen to you. It sounds cold. Blurry claims.

But it is. What Heeko is saying is certainly only true. My friend has died before. I have lost my parents and brothers. Knowing the sense of nothingness and lack of heart like the Nara you know when a close person dies, people still live.

People can live with laughter the day after an acquaintance dies.

Because that's normal.

Naturally others die. It is also natural for me to die. It's just too obvious and more scary than anything else. That's common in this world.

"That's right."

The weaker they are, the less people can live without laughing.

No matter how hard it is, no matter how sad, no matter how vain, you have to laugh. To deceive, to get over, to forget.

So people laugh the day after people die. I laugh lovingly at work, receive a friend's joke and laugh. I laugh even if it's hard. I laugh even when I can't.

Krook Looper broke it off as a sin. That's never a bad thing. It's more necessary. People who move to live are not allowed to keep stopping. The reality is not so tiny as to sway with the death of every person. As long as one person dies, the world does not mourn. Society doesn't even shake small. Not even one of the houses will fall.

The madman who couldn't forgive it was too strong to say that weakness was his fault.

"Exactly."

Serena accepts her weakness.

To that extent, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

I didn't forget. I do have an empty hole in my chest. It may be in a corner of my memory, but it still does remain as an indelible memory. I can tell you that there was definitely a dead person.

So let's go see him. I stopped myself, but it may be a slow resumption of my steps, but I'll walk to see you.

"Next exploration, may I join you?

"Lil, ask your sister."

You're absolutely right. There was so much rudeness in skipping Lil, the party leader.

"Ma, Lil, I think my sister will accept you instantly."

"I'm glad so.... Ah. Should I roll vertically too?

"Give me a break..."

They smile lightly bitterly at each other, sounding the glass properly against each other that once lost something important back in the day.

Go with a grand chest. Now it's time to reach out and join hands with a friend who's drawn to a hundred layers.

Maybe it's not a clean hand, it's a dirty fist with blood all over it. But this time I won't get lost.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Heeko."

"You only said the obvious, I am."

Saying so, we both drink out the contents of the glass together.

A cocktail reputed to be preferred by women and children, backed by the strong alcohol that Krook Looper liked to drink.

The fact was that Selena and Heeko, a woman and child, thumped at it and smiled that it was nothing bitter to intoxicate people.
