A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

……

Bell remembered. Ten years after that. Ten years have passed. Are you able to do this well? Have you been able to become the Major's imaginary Premium vs. Mage?

Since then, Bell has become a superior anti-magician to succeed him. And we got to second place in the same sequence. Now it's number one in the sequence. In addition, there were two names: Sword Princess. And the greatest swordsman in human history. Indeed, Bell's battle in the "Cross Range" at super close range is the highest of all mankind. In addition, the number of demon tribes slaughtered is certainly among the top among mankind. Not only did he defeat the Magus, but he even killed the Magus in the next decade.

From her track record, she is humanity's most powerful swordsman. That's what they say. She knows that, too. However, the sword that remained in Bell's brain belonged to the Major.

"Major... I..."

Twoosh, tears spill out. Until now, I've never felt so sentimental. Three years after the Major disappeared, he was just a samurai, and five years later, he became accustomed to his death. Rather, the days without him became normal. And now, 10 years later, what do you think...

Belle arrived where he could not reach. With a firm will to tackle this twilight, mankind began to advance. His death is by no means in vain. Her heart supports her, and his swordsmanship continues to live in Belle.

But... Bell was comparing. The Major back then and myself now. Are you sure I'm ready to approach the Major? Are you able to properly guide the following anti-magicians?

……

Once again, when she asked herself, she left silently.

"Yulia-san! Good morning!

"... yeah, good morning, Ariel."

I stayed at Ariel's house again. [M] A week has passed since then. We were exploring dusk hazard zones from Level 1 to Level 3. In order to progress to level 4, we need to scrape off some of the surrounding demons. However, the numbers are unusually small. There are no monsters, as if they had gone or died.

The upper judgment was that we would not march yet. But I can understand that. This situation is too heterogeneous.

In the meantime, our First Platoon called it an inspection in the village of Elves to observe their lives. But that's the name, but the truth is, we find the truth behind it. Originally, I, Bell, Senpai, and even Noah, who are superior versus magicians, don't have to do such a job, but I'm here just in case.

Just in case the elves betray us... After that, we humans have become particularly sensitive to it.

"Can I have a light one in the morning?

Yeah, thanks.

"No, it's what I do all the time!

So why am I staying at her house, but this is also one of the inspections. Nominally. But the truth is, it's her investigation.

Ariel. A girl with one of the best magic powers in elves. Later, I spoke to the village elves, but it seems that this overwhelming magic power was born. Elves can measure their talents to some extent with the amount of magic in their possession at birth. She seems to possess the highest magic element in Elf's history.

--Rationale, I can understand. But....

I was still suspicious. She's not the only one. All these subhumans named Elves. If this ends with worries, that's fine. But I need to stay here until this suspicion is dispelled.

"Yes, it's simple."

"Thank you."

When you serve breakfast, you will also get it. Human food has already been supplied to some extent, so that we can eat as usual in this village.

"Still, are you okay?

"? What are you talking about?

"Julia is staying at my house. Don't let Eira-san get angry again....."

"Oh, it's okay. Yeah."

"Really? That's fine then....."

……

Away from my eyes, I eat breakfast as it is. [M] Actually, it wasn't easy until here. Senpai Eira and I, well... we had a lot going on.

◇

"Hah!? Julia's staying at that woman's house!?

"Yeah... this is a decision. I've already told the other side why..."

What's the reason?

"Visiting face-to-face... cultural exchanges afterwards"

Really?

"Her investigation. And I can't overlook the possibility of betrayal of the entire elf... and that... magical power..."

Senpai Eira, and Bell and I were summoned to a second base to share our future policy. And senpai got angry. Well... but I think that's the best. I mean, no matter how much research it takes, a man stays at a woman's house.

"Okay. I see why. So, why Julia?"

"She's most forgiving... because it's Julia..."

"Hah!? You don't know that unless you ask him!?

"I heard...."

"What about it?"

"If anyone comes, Julia... will leave... with her permission and that of the village chief..."

"Isn't that woman after Julia? You said Ariel. Aren't you feeling a little cute?

"Senpai, that's not who Ariel is...."

"Julia, shut up. Because it's about the world of women that men don't understand."

"... yes"

All at once. My opinion seems to be rejected. [M] Well... I can't do anything because senpai can't lift his head... and cheeks...

"Ella... you know... in the worst case scenario, Julia... can deal with it for sure."

"Kill him?

"... not so much as a boulder... but... if anything happens, I might be restrained..."

"Well, I don't think there's anyone out there who can beat Julia..."

Senpai looks at me again. [M] Stand still and look up at me to remind me. [M]

"Julia, good thing. Don't do anything."

"Nothing...?"

"That's right. You know what that means... right?

"Does that mean... don't touch me?"

"That's right. I can still stand that beauty. Good thing."

"Of course. We are here to attack at dusk. I can't afford that."

"... if you know what I mean."

"Yes, I will order the liver."

And finally, "You really know that, don't you? hey?", I nodded firmly to the question. Senpai must be worried that I'll be okay alone. [M] But I can do it alone, and I have to do it. Because that is the zero position of the Premium vs. Magus series.

◇

That's why we're still here. The other side accepted me, and now I remember the faces and names of the villagers, and I help them with the work they're doing.

Agricultural work, animal hunting, etc. Is there not much influence of dusk in this boundaries? Plants grow well and animals live. Many things are invaded by dusk and demonized, but that's not how it seems here.

"Ariel, I'm so glad. I didn't expect such a good man to come."

"Yes! Julia is such a good person that I'm grateful!

"Ha ha ha. That would be great."

The elves around me seem to be welcoming, and even if they say something like that... I felt it. It's a gaze. It's not like hunting a prey. Sympathy, compassion... such a kind of emotional gaze.

I've spent about a week here, but I didn't feel like I was doing anything more than betraying you. But I have something to hide. It was like that.

I spent my days here trying to find the discomfort.
