Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

"... Endo?

Kosuke Endo, a black-coated boy who reacts like an enemy soldier in a game of "Hajime"! "and some cardboard favorite mercenary, looked around and started shouting like he was pissed off that he still couldn't find the person he was looking for.

"Nagumo! You there! It's you! Where the hell are you! Nagumo! If you're not alive, don't come out! Nagumo Hajimae!"

Too loudly, people accidentally plug their fingers in their ears continue. The voice seemed to contain more desperation than simply wanting to make sure that a classmate who should have died might be alive.

The gaze of the Jews turns toward Hajime at the same time. Hajime called out to Endo, who still calls out his name aloud, with the look of not wanting to get too involved when he scratches his cheeks crisp.

"Ahhh, Endo? Stop yelling out people's names because you're hearing me right."

"!? Nagumo! Where!"

Endo responds to Hajime's voice and turns his grinning face toward Hajime. In an overly desperate phase, Hajime unwittingly pulls a dong.

For a moment, Hajime and Endo had a gaze, but immediately distracted himself from Hajime, he began to look around again with a chirp.

"Damn! I can hear you, but I can't see you! Is that a ghost? I knew it came out turned!? You're saying I don't see you!?

"No, you'll be right in front of me, but dorky. Easy, easy, easy. Shadow Thinness Ranked # 1 in the World in Lifetime"

"!? Also, my voice!? I mean, who wouldn't even react to the automatic doors of a convenience store. Instead of a thin shadow, a man whose very existence is thin and who's about to disappear at some point! It opens properly every three times, like an automatic door!

"You don't open twice out of three... you're a boulder"

After exchanging so many words, he finally seems to realize that the man with the gray hair eyelids in front of him is the person he's talking to, Endo starts staring seriously at Hajime's face. To Hajime, who turned away with an unpleasant look because he had no taste for being stared at by a man, Endo called out with the face that no way.

"Oh, you... you're Nagumo... are you?

"Ha...... oh yeah. It looks like this, but it's a real Nagumo Hajime."

I observed it seriously from top to bottom and was still a half-hearted endo for the remainder of the difference from the hajime I remember, but it seemed that I had finally decided to believe it because I knew how to shape my face and how thin my shadow was.

"You... you were alive"

"I'm right in front of you right now, so it's obvious."

"Something's probably changed... the look, the atmosphere, the tone..."

"You crawled up on your own from the bottom of Naruto, didn't you? That would change things slightly."

"Is that what this is about? No, but, yeah... really live..."

He was endo confused by the blatant hazy attitude, but nevertheless understood that his classmate, who he thought was dead, was really alive, soothing his eyes as if relieved. No matter how jealous you were like any other man about being set in the fragrance weave, or pretending not to see the cypress mountains figs again, you can't possibly think it's horrible that you could die. Hajime's death was a huge shock. That's why Endo was purely happy with the survival of his classmates.

"I mean, before... you were an adventurer? Besides," Kim... "

"Mm-hmm."

Endo's expression changes gallantly in Hajime's response. From the look I was so relieved that my classmate was alive to the look I cut my feathers off. Again, if you look closely, Hajime realizes Endo is worn out. I twist my inner neck wondering what the hell happened.

"... that means you're strong enough to get the highest rank of adventurer on top of being able to survive from the depths of the labyrinth on your own, right? I can't believe it..."

"Well, yeah"

When Hajime showed his affirmation of the confirmation made with Endo's serious expression, Endo hung on his shoulder with the momentum of just jumping on Hajime and began his plea with a seeping voice of desperation more than ever, distorting his expression in sadness.

"Then please! Dive into the labyrinth with me! If we don't hurry up, we're all gonna die! One man needs a lot of power! Kentaro and Shigego could be dead! Please, Nagumo!

"Hey, wait a minute. All of a sudden!? I have no idea what's going on. What do you mean, you're gonna die? If there's a heavenly river, we can mostly figure it out, right? With Captain Meld, you'll never fail like you did in Behemoth again..."

Hajime asks in confusion how the usually discreet Endo's too chopped abnormality is. Endo then collapsed off his knees with a terribly dark look the moment Captain Meld's name came up. And he groans with a low, staring voice like he pushed to death.

"... it is."

"What? I can't hear you. What?"

"... I said he was dead! Captain Meld, Mr. Alan and everyone else! All the knights who were diving in the labyrinth are dead! To get me out of here! Because of me! He's dead! He's dead!

"... right"

Like a child who had eclampsia, Hajime just said one word, so to Endo, who repeatedly said "dead".

Because Hajime's vocation was non-warlike, Hajime had not so many contacts with Captain Meld. But still, I remember that Captain Meld was a good man, and that day, the day Hajime fell into Nara, he believed in his "incompetence" self in the last scene. If they heard he was dead like that, Hajime might have ended up with "Ahsoo" when he was just out of Naruto, but now, a little shame comes through his chest. At least not enough to pray for blessings in your heart.

"So? What happened?

"It's..."

To ask Hajime, Endo tries to tell her how it depends on keeping her knees down. And there was a repression by a servile voice.

"Shall we continue the conversation in the back? You look like my guest."

The Lord of the Voice was a powerful man with a big scratch in Gatai's good left eye, about sixty years old. From its eyes can be seen the depth that would have been polished over the years, and the hegemony is overflowing from all over its body.

Hajime hit that he would also be Guild Branch Manager because the receptionist earlier was beside him. And because the disturbing atmosphere of Endo's crying cries began to fill his guild again, he decided that it would not be appropriate to talk about it on this occasion, and he decided to obey it with great admiration.

Perhaps Endo has already made the same noise here, exposing the brave and the Knights to something that happened. The unusual atmosphere when you enter the guild is due to that.

The Guild Branch Manager and the man took him to the back of the Guild without saying whether or not to grab Endo's arm and force him to stand. Endo seems pretty emotionally unstable, and now, he's losing power.

Hajime and the others followed with unpleasant anticipation that the story would not be busy.

"... Demon Nation..."

Hajime grunts in the reception room of the Adventurer Guildhorad branch. Roa Bawabis and Kosuke Endo, branch directors of the Holad branch, are sitting on the opposite couch, Hajime on the front of Endo, and Yue and Shea are sitting next to Shea on both sides of it. Mu is on Hajime's lap.

The first voice of Hajime, who finished hearing it depended on what happened from Endo, was a whine earlier. Both Endo and Lower had serious expressions of that story about being attacked by the Demons and having a brave party in distress, and the interior was filled with a harsh atmosphere.

...... but on Hajime's lap the toddler girl cheeks the treat as she swells Mosha and her cheeks like squirrels, so she wasn't able to get any worse. To Mu, it seemed a little difficult to talk about the Hajime, but he still felt the disturbing air, and Hajime gave him a treat when he saw him looking anxious.

"Tsuka! What the fuck! Why are you eating sweets? Do you understand the situation? Guys, you could die!

"Hih!? Dad!"

Endo finally grows angry at the presence of the mu that breaks the atmosphere of the venue, pointing his fingers in a bishy manner. I was surprised at that and hugged Hajime as Mu screamed small.

Naturally, an out-of-town level of killing that blows out of Hajime. Dad doesn't forgive his daughter's enemies.

"Holy shit... what, you're hitting the mu, huh? I'm gonna kill you?"

"Hih!?

Endo drops his hips that were floating screaming just like Mu's. I hear from both neighbors, "... already, totally daddy" or "I just had a careless" son of a family "or something," at the end, can your husband be separated from you by Elisen? "but I ignore Hajime. It's more important to forgive the frightened mu than that.

I broke into the conversation when Loa gave me a frightened look as I fell on the couch and shivered Endo on my ass.

"Well, Hajime. I know a lot about you in a letter from Ilwa. Sounds like you've been in a lot of trouble, huh?

"Well, it's all going to be"

I didn't say no to what could be accomplished with a mindset to the extent that it was accomplished, but Lore caught the edge of her lips looking funny to Hajime, who shrugged her shoulders in an impenetrable manner.

"The letter stated your request for approval for promotion to the rank of" Kim "and that you wanted it to be as convenient as possible. For once, I've got a brief overview of things too... the annihilation of nearly 60,000 demons in just a few people, the destruction of the back tissue that nests in Furen in half a day... It's hard to believe, but I don't think Ilwa's guy bothered to send me a letter to tell me the proper thing... I'm not surprised you're actually the Demon King anymore"

To Lore's words, Endo opens his eyes wide and reveals his astonishment. I thought I might have gotten so strong about Hajime, who escaped from the depths of the [Orcs Great Labyrinth] on his own, but I still thought he was weaker than me.

At any rate, Hajime's vocation is a non-warlike profession called the "Smelter", formerly known as the "Impotence", and even though it is called the "Golden Rank", it is not comparable to those who have been summoned because it is the standard of adventurers in different worlds. So it was precisely enough to repair the devastated transfer formation and to recognize that as much as the support of the battle would have been possible.

Originally, Endo was in the Adventurers Guild to get high-ranking adventurers to help rescue Hikaru and the others. Of course, I can't take him to the deep end, but I wanted to leave him at least as much to guard the transfer formation. Some Knights were garrisoned, but they had things to do, such as reporting to the kingdom, and most importantly, the level was too low to protect a precisely thirty layer transfer formation. Protecting the seventy tiers of the transition required at least the power of the "Silver Rank" or higher Adventurer.

With that in mind, we jumped into the Adventurer Alliance, exposing ourselves to the current situation on the second floor, and asked the Adventurers to cooperate, but the Knights' elite was wiped out on top of the desperate braves of the human race, and besides, the request was for the security of the Transition Formation on the seventy levels, everyone turned away, and at the same time, anxiety spread about what would happen to the human race.

And a receptionist with a Hajime status plate came running in as he noticed the disturbance as he grabbed Endo's root and dragged him into the back room for a situational inquiry.

That's why Endo is stunned compared to Hajime in the past when he realizes he underestimated Hajime's prowess and maybe has more than he has.

Even while Endo is surprisingly stiff, the story of Lore and Hajime goes on.

"Don't be silly... you're not going to be that weak to be the Demon King, are you?

"Huh, treating the Demon King like a miscellaneous fish? That's a lot of bullshit... but if that's true, I want you to take a nomination request from me, Adventurer Guildhorad Branch Manager."

"... the rescue of the braves, huh?

Endo takes me back when he hears the word rescue. And as he rode himself out, he curled himself up into a hajime.

"Oh, yeah! Nagumo! Come with me to help! If you're that strong, I'm sure we can all help!

……

It was an endo that sparkled my eyes at the hope I could see, but Hajime's reaction was not fragrant. Looks like he's looking far and thinking of something. Endo, naturally, thought Hajime was on his way to the rescue together, so he is baffled not to respond immediately.

"What's the matter with you! He could be dying right now while he's doing this! What are you lost for? You're one of us!"

"... buddies?

Hajime undone his gaze, which had strayed for thought, and stared back at Endo, who heated up with a chilled look. Endo unwittingly retreats into the excess cold that dwells in his eyes. Reminds me of earlier killings and butts in, but still, I can't miss the precious power of Hajime, so I return the word half willingly.

"Ah, oh. You're one of us! Then we're going to help..."

"On your own, don't be one of you. To be clear, the only perception I have of you is that of a" fellow citizen, "not more or less. It's no different from the others."

"Become!? Oh no... what are you saying..."

With Hajime's unexpectedly cold-hearted Endo on his ass, Hajime considers the downside of continuing earlier thinking, that is, helping Kohinoo and the others.

As Hajime himself said, for Hajime, classmates are already perceptions of facial familiarity. Now, there is no desire to bring this from the past to avenge it, or vice versa to help as much as possible. Really, I was the one who didn't care.

However, that's why, if you ask me if I'm going to trump it without question, the answer is NO. Because I think the answer leads to what Dr. Aiko calls "a lonely way of life."

Besides, Hajime was remembering that story under the moon. The girl who came to the other world and said to Hajime, "I'll protect you, Nagumo." In the end, as she felt anxious, Hajime disappeared into Nara without help. I promised to "keep" her to remove her anxiety, but in the end, the promise was not fulfilled. At that last moment, Hajime, who for some reason frequently remembers her reaching back into this town with a sad, fragile look on her face.

"Shirazaki is... is she still safe?

Hajime asks the wolfy Endo a potpourri. Suddenly I asked the question, "Huh?" For a moment, though he leaks a voice of doubt, Endo rushes to talk about Kaori, wondering if Hajime would not cooperate without daring to talk about something.

"Ah, oh. Mr. Shirazaki is safe. I mean, we wouldn't have been safe without her. I think both Heigo and Yae Oak were dead in the first raid... Shirazaki, seriously, that's awesome. There's no such thing as healing magic... since that day when you fell, is there something pressing about it? I'm so into training that I want to stop this one... has the atmosphere changed a bit? I mean, he's grown up a little bit, or he's always been thinking about something, and he's lost his puffy vibe..."

"... right"

Hajime said so back to Endo, who also desperately talks about what he hadn't heard. And I see my dear partner staring at me beside me, scratching his head crunchy.

"... like I want to hajime. I'll follow you anywhere."

"... yue"

With a loving look, Hajime gently takes Hajime's hand and says such a thing to Yue, Hajime returns a kind and appreciative look as he holds his hand back.

"Wow, me too! I'll follow you everywhere! Mr. Hajime!"

"Hmm, of course the concubine will follow you. Your husband."

"Huh, uh, uh, mu too!

Hajime and Yue started making the world of the two again, so the sciahs rushed to claim themselves. Mu insists similarly with a hug because he didn't seem to understand it very well, but I don't like being out of company.

face-to-face, with a stunned look, "Huh? What's this harem..." Hajime told his people his will, with Endo on his ass whining.

"Thanks, you guys. I don't want to go out of my way to get involved with a brave man chosen by God, and I don't like to get you guys involved... but I have someone I want to do my job with for a bit. So I think I'll just go help. Well, it's about them, so I think we're gonna figure it out ourselves."

As for Hajime's heart, it was not what Kwong Hsi and the others knew what was going to happen, and beside the brave people were not the ones who wanted to go out of their way because they felt like they were going to be close to a crazy God at the same time.

But I wanted to show my face to Kaori, who was probably sick and impotent about Hajime. Finally, if it's really a pinch, I'm going to help. That's what I mean when I want to fulfill my brother-in-law for what he tried to protect me and for what he believes in survival and is crushing my heart.

I am not particularly concerned about the degree of danger. According to Endo's story, there seems to be a fourth wolf who has already fought, but even for chimeras and the like, if it is the labyrinth of Nara, it would be less than ten layers of strength. There's nothing wrong with that.

"Uh, uh, in the end, you're going with me, right?

"Oh, Lower Branch Manager. For once, externally, I'd like to make a request..."

"Because you don't want the guys up there to think you can help me unconditionally, do you?

"That's right. Or one more thing. Rent me a room for Mu until I get back."

"Oh, I don't mind that much."

In the end, Hajime proceeded with a sarcastic conversation, ignoring Endo, who exhaled deeply in relief that Hajime would go with him.

I'm not even taking my kids to the boulder or the depths of the labyrinth, so I'm going to keep the mu in my guild. At that time, he showed intense resistance to Mu being left behind, but managed to forgive everyone, and then decided to leave Tio as a babysitter and escort, and Hajime and the others were finally able to leave on Endo's guidance.

"Oh, just show him around, Endo."

"Wow, don't kick your ass! I mean, you're a lot too different!

"Funny. Just go away, one day... no, I'll finish it in half a day. I don't know what else to do, but I'm leaving Mu behind. I need to go home soon. I'm also worried that we're perverts together."

"... you're really a father... you're even making a beautiful girl Harlem... what the hell is going on, that Nagumo cloud is going to be like this..."

Endo mutters unconvincing about Hajime's attitude and environment as he sickens toward the depths of the labyrinth. I seem to have regained a little room in my mind for a situation where I have a powerful helper. If he had time to talk, he was told to run faster, and Endo wished his best friends well while crushing the confidence he had regarding the height of his agility.
