Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

I wonder what makes you stronger.

Waking up with the sunrise, Colo thought of that as he looked out still dim in bed.

Colo always wakes up as the sun rises as a habit. It's a common habit for a colon who grew up in a coarse hut in the mountains from the moment he felt comfortable. Wake up early in the morning, take a bath in the nearby river, and get prey on the hunt. That's what I always lived like when I lived in the mountains alone.

Recently, he had bent the habit and dared to sleep twice to fit the lil, so he was not awake.

With a clear head even when awake, Colo thinks.

I was taught to be strong is to live.

I was taught that in order to live, you have to be strong.

It was the first person Colo met and the way the world was taught by the hunter who taught Colo how to fight and gave me the sword.

"There's a system in this world that looks like shit that can only be strong enough to fight and win, fight and defeat, fight and kill and dust and pile up corpses."

Or maybe that person, who thought Colo was a hunter on his own, wasn't a hunter. The man, who hunted better than the colo, was lighter than the colo, and much stronger than the colo, was probably an adventurer now.

'So be strong. Don't be a jerk. Don't get caught in the system. What a shitty level to go up to. What a scumbag the numbers you see. You can be strong for the first time. "

A forty too many uncles, hand-finished with a colo that was close to the beast of a child, and brought me back to man only a little.

Half of his words were perfectly clear about what he was saying, but I don't think the teaching is wrong. In order to live alone, I did have to be strong. It was a teaching that was well familiar to Colo, who had lived hunting the beasts around him.

But you can't just be strong when you need it from someone else.

My uncle, who whimsically let Colo regain his shards of humanity, turned out to be gone at random, and Colo had a mountain of loneliness.

For the first time in public, Colo realized he wasn't humane enough. I learned about human society that crossing swords with someone and fighting isn't about living. No one in the world of men was fighting anything he couldn't see, and sifting the sword to solve it was all trivial.

But that's why there was no one to tell Colo what to do.

Colo had nothing but to fight for. It was even worse to be able to live with that alone, though bent. So Colo reached the king's capital, not knowing, but still trying to flow.

That's where I met Lil.

You shouldn't be able to fight, but still walk in front of the colo on that back. Its like you acquire all the humanity but fight, but even if you can't, you try to fight.

There was a radiance there that was completely different from what I had only been able to fight and what I had only tried to do.

That was a sight for Colo.

"That was beautiful."

I narrow my eyes, remembering a light that is much gentler and brighter than the light of the sun that brightens up a little bit.

Probably, Colo didn't count on Lil in battle.

I've known it since we met. Because Lil had seen that he was not strong in terms of struggle. For Colo, even Lil's fortitude in trying to fight was still preferable. I was going to let you protect this very human person. I thought that fighting was what I needed.

But I wonder what you meant.

Colo lost, Lil won.

Lil was strong. I had nothing to ask for from Colo and still showed Colo a lot of stuff.

Magic says the strength of thoughts is the source.

Then I'm sure Lil's thoughts were stronger than Colo's. It wasn't the strength of the battle, it was the strength of the thoughts that made it stronger.

That must have been the strength the hunter said.

……

Colo gently looks at Lil sleeping next door.

Lil has been doing this for the past two days.

He slept with a painful face so that he could be cornered by something. Lil was always suffering from something, though he was grand not to show it when he was awake.

When Colo stroked his head, he eased only a little, so he went on for two days and slept holding Lil's head.

Tonight, though.

"...... heh. What do you think? I can do it too……………………………."

Coro's cheeks dull in the twinkling sleep words along with his proud sleeping face.

"Yes, Master Lil is amazing."

From the bottom of my heart, I gather the strength of a lil.

I want to know more about this man, weak or strong. That's how I want to be strong myself. Such a desire came to a boil.

So let's get some more sleep. And let's get up properly so they don't stick their cheeks together.

That's what I decided. The colo creeps back into the futon.

I don't even need to give up today. Close your eyes because you think so.

"Hehe..."

"Ah, that......?

Maybe it was bad that you replied to your bedtime remarks? Lil's hair takes the form of a vertical roll wrapped around Coro's body that somehow tried to sleep.

I know a mountain-grown colo. How to strangle the great tree with the sight of snake predation.

"Ri, Master Lil............?

"Taste it, this is my vertical roll………"

"Uh, yes. I get it. It's Lil's vertical roll."

It won't be tightened like this, or I sweated cold, but this is the longitudinal roll of the lil.

Unconsciously alert and deflect the power.

Rather than tightening it, the soft, wrapped vertical rolled cradle had the warmth that the colo would experience for the first time. The human being experiencing the vertical roll cradle itself would be the first in the world, but it is. Lil 'vertical roll entangled in the colo, was gentle.

"I am to Lildor, who shines in the world…………."

"You can be Master Lil, definitely"

All affirm the crushing lil.

Full confidence in the lil, the colo slowly wandered away, wrapped in gentle vertical rolls.
