At the time, Hull, five, always went to the neighborhood woods to call it an adventure.

Though the adults around them weren't too worried lately either because there were few dangerous demons out there, they were nevertheless somewhat careful not to play in the woods when they saw them.

Still, the curiosity of the children could not be stopped, and the children, not just Hull, did not stop playing in the woods.

However, certain rules existed among the children and it was implicitly understood that they would not go deeper than the signs along the way.

Beyond that sign was an area where there were said to be dangerous demons, and the children had a thin sense of the danger.

Young Hull also did not leak into the example, and followed its rules.

- But Hal was only to break it once.

It is the story of a time when we were gathered together in a neighborhood child to play in the woods.

A three-year-old girl, two years younger than Hal, got lost beyond the sign.

She was the girl Hal brought in because she really wanted to follow me.

"What shall we do..."

The children were worried about what was going on with the girl's ribbon found near the sign.

The flirtatingly lonely ribbon indicated that the girl had gone ahead.

"... I brought you here, I'm coming! Everybody tell your father or mother when I didn't come back!

Leaving that behind for the children to hold back, Hal himself stepped across the sign and popped out.

After a while of searching, the girl was quickly found.

Apparently I couldn't find the original path of what I walked around without knowing where I was, and I was sitting on my way down looking soggily at the ground.

"Hey! Good, you're safe"

"Ah, Brother Hal! Go to Hal!

The girl, who raised her face all the way to the call, happy to find Hal, reaches out in tears and tries to rush over to Hal.

At that time, Hal's eyes, where he had hardened, showed a demon figure he had never seen.

The demon, with many times the giant body of a young Hull, turns toward us at the moment he meets his eyes, exasperating his ferocity.

The demon was looming from behind the running girl, and it was clear that she would be in the hands of the demon as it was.

The moment I thought about it, Hal's legs were rushing toward her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

I don't care what happens to me! Anyway, she's the only one who needs to make it home safe!

- That strong thought was erasing Hal's choice to escape from his head, making him the one to protect the girl.

Having managed to reach her before the demon reached her, Hal hugs her and points his own back at the demon.

If I get attacked, she's the only one who should be safe - it was the last act I thought about.

"Gaaaaaaaa!"

The demon wields his nails down vigorously for such a hull's back.

Hal was meditating on his eyes and taking an attitude to protect her from covering her up.

I looked softly back when I realized that the pain would not come upon me at all.

"- Hey, that's cool! I took care of your feelings!

Between Hull and the demons stood a man with a wave of sword.

Appearing refreshed, he couldn't see his face clearly in the sun's backlight, but Hal felt he would never forget the sights of that time.

The story I heard after he was helped was that he was an adventurer who had previously lived in the village of Hal's.

The children, helped by the adventurer, are sent by him to the village.

Parents who found out they had gone into a no-access place were greatly worried and would be forced to devour the big eyeballs.

The adventurer was greatly appreciated by the villagers and laughed as troubled that he had not done a great deal.

But even though he scolded me, Hal's heart kept thinking about him as an adventurer.

- One day, he wants to be an adventurer like him himself, too.

"... was the first time I wanted to be an adventurer when I was a kid."

Talking that far all at once, Hal mouths a drink. I was thirsty because of a longer story than I thought.

"Hmm, I see. So, even if Hal found out he didn't have any gifts, he could work his way to longing without breaking his heart! It's still important to remember your childhood."

Yeah, I'm convinced, Lunaria, but I shake my neck sideways with Hal smiling bitterly.

"No, this story is still going on. Listen..."

From there, the story proceeds and Hal learns that there are no gifts at the First Adult Rite.

"- I would definitely be an adventurer if I didn't have a gift!

I worked hard on that word on my chest, but by the time I was fifteen, I knew myself that the feeling would gradually fade too.

Hal, who thought he shouldn't stay like this, stepped into the woods where he first met that adventurer he admired.

When I was a kid I thought it was a vast forest, but the size of it wasn't as big as some things thought, and I was able to go lightly beyond the sign. Hal narrows his eyes that's all his body has grown.

Dangerous demons have been swept away by example adventurers, so that villagers and children can now be safely stepped on as safe forests.

"I miss you, I was helped trying to protect that kid here..."

Hull was tracing to that place where he was about to be attacked by demons, blurring and whining without telling anyone.

Nostalgia, admiration, and remorse for who I am now with nothing - and can't I be an adventurer? The sense of incarceration dominated the mind.

"Oops, are you sure... the boy you used to help?

It was the example adventurer who called me that.

"Hey, why?

Why are you in a place like this? I wanted to say that, but Hal didn't get the word out well.

Hal was upset that there was a presence in the woods where he happened to stop by in an attempt to give up his future as an adventurer and he yearned to be an adventurer - what a situation he was too capable of.

"Oh, I used to take down the demons here, but this is how I come to see how they are now and then. I don't know when a new demon will arrive. Well, there's always nothing left, so I'm thinking it's time to take it over to someone else, huh?

Looking happily around the forest of peace itself, he thought it was time to stop coming to check the woods.

It was therefore a miraculous time to reunite with Hal today.

"No, but you've been splendid too, yeah, yeah. - How could you be in a place like this?

He asks questions because he was happy that the boy he helped was getting bigger, but the look on his opponent's face made him feel less energetic.

"Uh..."

Hal wasn't sure what to say anymore.

That I don't have a gift, that I'm about to give up being an adventurer because of it -.

Can you tell those who yearn for such pity? and grinding.

"Hmm, I found out there was some big problem. That must be hard for me to say. Then we don't have to talk about it. But even if you have troubles, it's just hard. Anyone can ask.... I'll be there."

I was not chosen by the person who would listen to Hull's troubles - the adventurer who thought so would not listen deeply, but turning his back on Hull heads to confirm the woods.

He said he might stop looking around in the woods - then if he stays like this, he might not get a chance to meet him.

"Ah..."

If you think so, you have a lower voice.

"... hmm?

Hal's voice reached his ear and turned with a gentle look.

"Oh, that! Talk, what! I, um... I want to be an adventurer! You helped me, I want to be an adventurer like you!

The adventurer was firmly taking and listening to Hal's words, one by one, screaming to overflow the emotions he was trapping.

"But... hey, um...!

Hal can't put words together because emotions are ahead of him.

"Fine, yeah. Calm down and speak in your language."

Hurray if we don't talk soon, hal with a painful look on his face. The adventurer who sees it, when he returns a little, puts his hand on his shoulder and speaks out to teach him with a gentle look.

"Huh... can you be an adventurer without a gift? Can I be an adventurer like you!?

Hal's voice, which gave the adventurer a dazzling look, was a voice coming out of the bottom of his belly, a word that seemed to echo into the woods.

This Hal word has always been something caught in the back of my mind.

Words I've always wanted to hear from my admirers. Hal thought he would have an answer to this question.

Hal, who squeezed it out, felt tired, but also thought he could finally say it.

"- It can be easier,. I can't say."

Taking Hal's words all over his body, the adventurer chooses the words after thinking about them. The sound is stiff and heavy.

I can't say I can be - Hal shivers his body bikly at this word.

"But I don't have a big gift either. That's not a good gift for a combat system.... but I didn't give up. I kept trying. Even when my heart was about to break, I smiled through it..."

The adventurer talks as he looks down to remember something.

And now I say it with a refreshing laugh as I look Hal in the eye and show him more teeth.

"So, I don't know you can be, but if you keep trying what you can do to yourself without giving up, like me, no, there's a chance you can be an amazing adventurer than me! Everyone has a chance!!

The words of an adventurer who spread his arms wide and stood still struck Hull hard through his heart.

I was struck by the feeling that something was going through my body like the wind blew heavily on me.

Nature and tears streamed down from Hal's eyes as he looked at Hull crying and the adventurer was upset that he had done so funny.

"... there was a time. And then I kept trying to keep his words in my chest."

"Wow, that's amazing. That's exactly what you owe Mr. Hal."

Hal nods joyfully at Lunaria's words, which sparkled his eyes.

"I owe you my life, and I owe you my dream."

"... who's that now?

What's going on? Hal stares away at Lunaria's question.

"Oh, you should still be doing adventurers somewhere. As the world's first SSS ranked adventurer."

Hal's longing is at a far height.

But Hal had a two-cup, refreshing smile like that adventurer used to show me that his goal should be big if he was to overtake him because of it.
