Advisor to Adventurer Alliance All Purpose ~ [Magic Swordsman] said to be [instrumentally poor] and banished from the Brave Party, but I can teach swordsmanship and witchcraft [All-purpose Instructor], so I decided to entrust my beloved apprentice with the King of Demons Crusade

"I'll let you out!

"What? Don't be ridiculous! Pull my legs."

"Your instructions were bad. What can you do with a dagger like that"

Gustav and Sein were arguing at the stronghold of the [Holy Wolf Dragon (Ljuicaris)] and at the cliché in Dizar, Wang capital.

Elaine is not in the process of healing her injuries, and Dill stares at both of them with disdain.

"Lord Brave...... your party and your instructions are so naive that I don't think they are very S-ranked. You should think about why you went through so much trouble in that degree of dungeon. All the titles and S-ranks of the brave men are figs, that's what I decided. So let me pull it out."

"... through the sword, Gustav. You can't insult me."

Sayne pulled out her sword, shaking her body with anger.

"Hmm, if I can defeat a brave man and be a brave man, I'll deal with him as much as I want... but I'm not willing to argue with you. You're not even worth it."

"Are you going to run away?

"If that's how you wield your sword like a child, don't think anything goes by. Then no one will follow you."

"You!"

"Stop it, Sein. Gustav, you shut up and disappear. And don't ever let that face come out here again."

Dill stopped Sayne from trying to kill him.

It's such an ugly fight. I don't think very much of each other as the party members I belong to. This even lowers my taste.

"Hmm, it's also funny about this party that Aoyagi's sorcerer is a sage. Goodbye, then. I don't want a reward."

Yes, I threw it away and Gustav left the tavern.

"Damn!!

Sayne kicked the tavern chair. I just get extra angry where I did that.

"Sain. Obviously that dungeon offense was a failure. Fortunately, there were no dead, but Elaine... can't move for a while"

"I know. I'd rather have you and me."

"If there's no avant-garde or Elaine, I'll never go."

That's what Dill said without a nibble.

"... can't you trust me?

"Points out that it is not militarily sufficient"

"Enough. Now I know you're as timid as ever, and you haven't changed from the old days. I'll attack there by myself."

"... whatever you want. I think we should prioritize finding party members over that. Sein, you haven't even visited Elaine. I've just been drinking and being stupid ever since I got back."

"Enough. Shut up."

"In the first place-- nothing. I'm going to visit Elaine."

Sayne reacted to the dill clouding the words along the way.

"Wait, Dill. You —— what (...) did (...) say (...) I (...) did (...)"

The voice was low and resembled the roaring voice of a fierce beast.

"Nothing, I said. Anyway, repent a little. If you can't do that... stop being a brave man"

As it was, Dill left.

Sayne sat in her chair powerless, concealing the sword she had nearly pulled out.

"Damn... damn... why... what was wrong... damn..."

It was no longer possible to look directly at that fact to Sein, who kept turning away from what you knew.

Dill knocks on the door and goes inside.

It was a little private room there, with only one woman on the window bed waking up her upper body and staring out the window.

"Elaine, how you doing?"

I inserted the bouquet of flowers Dill had brought into a vase by the bed.

"Dill...... yeah, I'm fine. My injuries are healing so much, you know."

"... oh"

"Thank you for the flowers... they're beautiful"

"Oh."

I don't know what to do by the bed and Dill stays standing.

Elaine recommended the chair to Dill when she laughed small.

"What about Sayne?

"He's been drinking to me. Gustav said he was leaving the party today. You're not going to be able to make the journey for a while. Sayne was breathing when she attacked the dungeon by herself... I wonder"

"You have to stop it. Because Sayne tends to run wild now."

"It's not my job."

"Then whose job is it?

Elaine stares straight at Dill. Dill couldn't stand that gaze and turned away.

"At that time...... Elaine agreed"

"That's what they did when I said I was against it. You didn't ask me one thing."

"No! Either way, it's cowardly to say that now!

Dill raised his eyes and raised his voice. But Elaine returned nothing. All she did was stare quietly at Dill.

Elaine knew too. That (...) what (...) is now (...) more (...).

"... sorry"

"Yeah, I think so, too. But I wonder if there's anything I can't do all over again. So I hope Sayne sees the reality properly."

"You can't. He's just a kid swinging by the title of being a brave guy in S-rank. Neither my words nor those of Elaine are easy to hear. The only one... is Redo. He can only be fooled and guided."

"Right. I owed it all to Redo. Sayne was able to be a brave man, and we were able to get promoted to S-rank. When he's gone, all of us who realize the importance of Redo don't deserve to be named S-Rank."

……

Dill couldn't return anything to the word.

"I... am not sure I can go on an adventure, on a journey, as I am now. I can't do a demon king."

"... right"

"I want you to tell Sain that. Because you won't come. It's cold."

"Oh, I'll tell him"

Elaine stared out the window again. The king's sky is as beautiful as it used to be.

How could we have changed?

"I wonder what will happen to us."

Having said that, Elaine was not thinking about herself, but where and what Redo was doing by now.

In a corner of my mind, I showed up telling him to do it, as usual, and had a pale expectation that he would fix most of the problems that were happening right now.

But I knew that wouldn't happen. Even if Redo ever realized what I wanted to say or claim, he never realized how I felt until the end.

Really... I'm only incompetent against women...

Elaine was worried that somewhere far away, Ledo was making someone do the same thing as she did.
