An A-Ranked Adventurer’s “Slow-living”

"Are you off today?"

The next morning, Flora asked while bringing tea.

"Yeah, yes, yesterday today."

Originally, I was planning on exploring the mountain today, but I'm off because Lauren was injured.

Although the injury itself has been healed neatly by the recovery magic of Kourne, rest after working hard on the body. He himself tried to go hunting without worrying about Kyle, but Martha seemed to be beaten again and stopped.

He said yesterday that he had been forced out of the house, but today seems to be the opposite.

I can't see Lauren complaining, but being happy to be worried.

Flora sitting in front of me was worried as she was drinking tea while thinking about why.

"Is it OK, Kyle?"

"I'm a little worried."

Loren was hurt while she was protecting herself. The shock at that time will be great.

If you're injured by the demon's murder, it's more shocking than usual to get injured by others, or even by close people.

Loren and Martha who came back also encouraged me, but what about?

It's entirely possible that fear of a demon or Lauren's injury could result in a trauma and prevent him from entering the forest again. I've seen a number of them during the adventurer era.

... I'm worried.

Kyle is a 12-year-old child, albeit calm and mature.

You may be blocked by a shock.

"Mr. Aldo, can you see me a little bit?"

"Yes, I don't know if I can do anything but I'm worried so I'll go see him."

Even though I'm older, Kyle is a brother. You can't let go of the same hunter.

If so, today's schedule is decided.

When I drink tea, I get up and get ready.

After preparations and returning to the living room, Flora was carrying a small packet.

"This is a sandwich made from the rest of the morning. Take it to Kyle."

"Thank you. I'm sure Kyle will be happy."

"I really want to go and encourage me, but I have never fought monsters ..."

"No, the feeling of Flora is surely transmitted."

Yesterday, Flora took care of the fallen Kyle and snuggled up.

I'm experiencing how well I'm grateful that someone can be with me in times of pain. So, Flora's feelings must have reached Kyle.

"Then, let's go."

"Yes, come on."

◆

I was sent off to Flora and came to a square in the center of the village.

I've never been to Kyle's house, but I don't get lost as I go to the house many times in the process of transporting the hunted prey.

I walked a little north over Elgis's house and arrived at Kyle's house.

I've been here, but don't get a little nervous if you ask again.

After breathing in, I knocked on the door and heard a cheerful reply, "Yes!" And the door opened.

Out came Kyle's mother, Fonda.

He has the same golden hair as Kyle, but his bright tone and rich expression do not look very similar to his son Kyle.

I've never met, but I'm sure he's like his father.

"Huh? Aldo, did you go hunting today with Kyle?"

I thought I was sorry, but I felt that my body was soothing to Fonda's embarrassed words.

"Hey, I'm going to the forest! Fonda is waiting here just in case!"

"Wow, I understand!"

Hearing Fonda-san's voice on my back, I run back the way I came.

Probably going to hunt at this time is probably a revenge to a unicorn.

If Kyle had no psychogenic trauma, he wanted to try again sooner or later, but he wouldn't go to fight again yesterday today. That alone.

I thought it wouldn't be any faster if Kyle was calm, so it's unexpected.

Did Kyle feel so terrifying about the murderous demon?

Or did the teacher, Lauren, feel injured by trauma?

Either way, you can't go alone by now. If you don't bring Kyle back right away, you might not be able to do just that.

Looking at me running at full power, the villagers around me came out with strange glances and voices, but I have no time to worry.

After passing through the square, drive along the west straight road, even over the Kourne's mansion and even your own house.

And when he approached the forest behind the flower garden, a boy who seemed to be Kyle stood.

"Kyle!"

"... Mr. Aldo"

Kyle ran as she shouted, looking back at her relieved expression.

It's like I'm relieved to find me. He looked like that.

Kyle's outfit is not the usual plain clothes, but the same as when he goes to hunt. It is equipped with bows and quivers.

"Are you going to defeat one rabbit alone?"

"... Yes, but as soon as I came here, yesterday's event was revived and I couldn't move on."

Frankly, Kyle confessed without deception.

After all, yesterday's event seems to have planted a big trauma in Kyle's heart.

"It's a hunter disqualification not to enter the forest"

You cannot hunt for prey unless you enter the forest or mountains.

As Kyle put it, it was a deadly problem as a hunter.

But I didn't think of any good words that could comfort Kyle right now.

I'm still desperate to say something, but my brain and tongue don't work well and I can't speak.

For me, who had no choice but to defeat the monsters to survive, they couldn't escape if they were afraid of them. It was like leaving an adventurer = losing money and leading to death.

We can teach you many ways and attitudes to defeat the demon, but you don't know how to get up from the wound.

If you're in contact with more people, you might have come up with at least one sensible word or a way to deal with trauma.

"... I'm worried, so let's go home."

"Yes, sorry for the inconvenience."

What came out of my mouth as a result was plain language.

Before being able to leave it to Flora, I couldn't help myself because I couldn't encourage it.
