A Misunderstood Mentor

Seven Stories We All Really Knew We Were Gentle (Other Than Null Bees)

"You're banished from the party today."

Ten years ago, Rick the Warrior told me that on his way to attack the Great Labyrinth of the Desert.

An oligarchy, calmly sedentary leader presence. I couldn't finally see his face without taking off his black armor at all times.

As a member of the party, I always knew I was a handful. Instead, I don't have any talent. I think you used to party this far with me.

"Okay. I'm gonna pack up tonight and get out of here."

"No, leave now."

That's what Sasha, the monk, said from next to Rick. How many times have you been saved by the restorative magic she uses? Every time, he always cured me without complaining about me dying.

"At the end of the day I wanted to cook dinner for everyone, can't I?

When I said what I could do to everyone, it was chores, luggage, and about cooking.

"Oh, true, then...... yes, no, no! Get out of here now!

It looked like it was shaking for a moment, but Sasha tells me so strongly.

"Well, thanks for everything. Say hello to Alice."

Once inside the tent, Alice was resting in the corner. Will Alice cry when I'm gone? But you'll soon forget about me.

He shook his head and stroked it, and Alice smiled happily as she slept.

Pack your belongings in the tent in a bag. I decided to leave my sword and shield behind. I won't be using it again.

"Seriously."

I was stopped by a bandit bat just out of the tent. Excellent in crisis detection, he helped me many times when I was about to fall into a trap (trap).

"That collar is the property of Nurubee. Leave me."

It is unacceptable to remove it at any time. That's what I said. A collar with a bell that was given to Nurbee. But if you're going to get out of the party, that won't matter either.

"Okay. Remove immediately."

That's when I said it and put my hand on the collar.

All of a sudden, the bell emitted light, illuminating a side around it.

"Shit, it's metamagic, that bugger, bugged me"

Bats panic, take my collar off, and throw it to the ground. But still, the light doesn't stop.

"Damn it, he's coming back. Rick, Sasha, we're gonna buy you some time."

Things can't swallow, and I'm standing alone.

"What are you doing, you were banished, get out of here!"

Rick, who has always been calm and never shouted out loud, roughed up his voice for the first time.

"Yes, go quickly, you're for the adventurer."

Sasha is turning to the collar bell, releasing some magic.

"Guys, what the hell is this?"

I thought it was strange. It was all a bar-read line from everyone who gave out tough words to banish me.

Oh, and the light coming out of the collar bell swells.

"What are you going to do? You guys."

There, she stood.

The Great Sage Null Beech.

Real name, nu lucia hashtal tilt.

# 1 immovable in the rankings of adventurers that have been done for 100 years.

An immortal elf who is supposedly alive for more than a thousand years. On the long, pointed ears that characterize the elves, semi-long silver hair, grey eyes that seem to have slept a little, plump and swollen lips. With a beautiful face and perfect proportions far more neat than a human being, its appearance can only be seen in the early twenties.

Even legend remains that they manipulated so much magic as the ultimate art that they fought each other with ancient dragons (enchanted dragons).

Such a null bee was staring at us with an angry look.

"I banished Takumi from the party on my authority. Let him go."

"He's already at his limit, and I don't know if he can keep up with my treatment. It'll break like this."

"He's the weakest man in history. I can't keep up with such a high level party. You know what I'm talking about, motherfucker."

Guys, you were thinking about me, trying to banish me from the party in the gaps where the null bees went out.

But even if you don't do that, I don't think you need a null bee for me to be so weak. Couldn't you just go through the party normally?

"I won't allow that. Takumi lives with Nurubee all the time."

Nurhachi calls himself by name.

It was also Nurbee who picked me up and forced me to pass the adventurer exam and put me in the party. Why Nurhachi would take care of me until then has always been a mystery. Nurubee tries to get close to me.

But the three of them got stuck in front of it.

"Get out of my way, you three won't beat Nurubee."

You're absolutely right.

Even the Ricks at the top of the Adventurer rankings are about as different from the null bees as the heavens and the earth.

"Why not? We can party without Takumi."

"Yes, not a millimeter less as a force."

"My legs are gone and I'd rather be strong."

I can't see my front getting bogged down with tears.

It's an act. This must also be an act to miss me.

"What do you know about Takumi when you only see power on the surface? Why has it ever occurred to you that Alice, with mighty power, only nostalgic for Takumi?

Why would Alice miss me only?

It's just not because I picked her up first?

"... run, Takumi. I can buy you some time."

"Thanks. The rice was always delicious."

"Go, and don't look back"

The three of them do not answer Nurbee's question.

"Did you know that? Still, let Takumi go."

Nurubee's magic grows.

I don't know what it is.

But don't waste the thoughts of your people trying to get me away.

"Thanks, guys. Me, go."

I entered this world admiring the adventurer.

I have no talent whatsoever. It was all thanks to my dependable friends that I got here. When I was an adventurer, I put all of that down and run as hard as I can.

"Well, Takumi. Don't think you can get away with it. You three and more in an instant...!? Alice"

For the first time, Nurbee raises his upset voice. Looks like Alice woke up and came out of her tent. Only for a moment, look back at Alice.

"Hey, where's Takumi?

Are you still asleep, looking around rubbing your eyes.

"Alice, Takumi was abused by a null bee and escaped"

"Oh, yeah, it's all this guy's fault."

"Do it, do it, take down fucking Baba"

"Ki, you guys! Hey, come on, Alice, calm down. Null bees aren't bad, don't cry, don't cry."

"Huh."

There was a huge explosion behind me, but I keep running without looking back.

"Takumi."

From there, the noise of the null bees clings.

"Wherever you go, I'll find you."

Then for ten years, with little to no descent from the mountains, I lived, and I would never see Nurhachi again, I thought so. He was alarmed that he was giving up looking for me. But she's been looking for me for ten years.

"Takumi, I've felt this decade longer than the thousands of years I've lived."

I am reminded, as I did yesterday, of ten years ago, of the completely unchanged appearance of a null bee in front of me.

"Nurubee will never let Takumi go again"

Face the determined past again.

A confrontation of causes with the great sage Nurhachi opened the curtain.
