"Afraid to fight," that's the weak word that popped out of Kazuki's mouth.
Normally, it would be natural to react that way. Not to mention the summons. We were high school students in the original world. Apart from Senior Kazuki, I could have expected Kazuki to think so.
Because he is a very ordinary man, not a heroic character in the story, not a side-by-side drone protagonist.
"When I went to train outside the kingdom...... when I fought monsters, I was really scared. My first monster I've ever seen made my feet seem limp."
……
"But when I was attacked, desperately... desperately resisted... when I defeated him. I realized once again how optimistic I was about this world..."
"... calm down, Kazuki"
Kazuki is too sensitive, unlike senior dogs.
On the other hand, Kazuki, in the case of Senior Dog, has thought too much than necessary because he has vaguely become familiar with this world, and he must have been crushed by his own imagination.
In fact, Kazuki in front of him is raising his emotions, illuminating his surroundings so that his light magic can leak out of his hands. He noticed my words, put away the light, but his expression remained dark.
"Even the Demon King's Army should be attacking me with the intention of killing me... I'm afraid of that. But the people of this kingdom were kind to me when I was cowardly, and they supported me. Expected me...... that's harder than anything for me right now"
A brave man, but a misery of the late. Just to say brave, people look and worship with envious eyes. I'm not sure how much that weighs on Kazuki, but the weight won't be unusual.
So there's only one word I can say to him.
"Kazuki doesn't have to fight."
"... what?
It is irrelevant at this time how much damage this conversation will cause to future forces.
We don't have to fight for this country. No matter how ruthless that is, Kazuki has the right to do so.
"Because... no one wants to die. I know very well."
"Hey, wait a minute! What would Usat do if I didn't fight!
"I'm leaving. It's hard for me to die."
There are other reasons.
The lifeguards, Mr. Olga, Mr. Uluru... for later Rose?
"That's not what you're talking about!! Even Usat isn't afraid to die!!
"You're good about me!
"Huh!?
I accidentally got a rough tail, but let me keep going.
"What do you want to do, not what I am!? You're afraid to fight!? Then you can run away!! Me too...... maybe no one will blame you, Senior Dog, King, Sergio, Welsey, Siggles, Celia!!
"..........................."
Shit, did I say a little too much?
I'm covering my eyes with my hands while I lean down.
What a pity I am.
I can't believe I didn't see so much around me... I only saw myself after all. I don't know what to do. I was just doing the same thing to myself as others as a good. That's what happened at all times.
Everyone wanted to be vice chairman. Because everyone wanted to fight the Demon King's Army. I've always lived, always lived, always lived, all around me. I was happy if everyone wanted to. I'd like to think that the majority of "everyone" was because of the high female ratio.
So Usat told me, "You don't have to fight it," and I asked about Usat first. If Usat said, "I'm not going to fight," I'm sure I chose not to fight.
But he asked me what I wanted to do myself.
"... I'm afraid to fight... but..."
At first I was angry.
I don't know if you can call me on your own and be a brave man and fight the Demon King's Army... but everyone in this country is such a good person.
The king, Celia... they're all warm people without backs. That's why I can't stand putting those people in danger.
So... it's too small a reason... but I...
"I don't want you to die."
To Kazuki, who was silent for a while, I could hear Kazuki squirming in my ear as she began to think it was time to apologize with a trembling heart. 'I don't want you to die,' you decided...?
"... after all, I'm scared. But... I'll try."
... I think I've made up my mind.
I'm not sure what kind of answer came out of him, but if that's convincing to Kazuki, I won't say anything. I don't deserve to say anything more than...
"Oh well."
"Thanks, Usato"
"You're my friend, don't worry about it"
".................. Oh!
Ha, shy, shy!!
If there's a hole, I want in, it's not my character at all! I feel like I was a much drier character. And Yamate, don't look so full, you won't be able to go back.
"Hehe, it's time to go back to the castle. Sorry to wake you up at night. I'll think about it later and give you an answer."
"Good luck with that."
"Well, good night"
Kazuki runs on a small run down a path illuminated by moonlight. The back looked harder than it had been before somewhere.
After dropping him off until he can't see him, he tries to walk out toward the quarters with a big stretch. I still have training tomorrow to prepare for the demon army invasion. We need to get some sleep.
"Huh... sleepy, go back to sleep"
"No. Is that a man's friendship? They let me see some good stuff inside."
A voice heard from behind.
But I don't look back because I know the Lord of Voices. For now, keep your voice shut.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you because I'm sleepy... could you make it tomorrow, Senior Dog?"
I hadn't noticed at all, but I wasn't so surprised because I thought it wouldn't be weird for this guy to be here.
"... that? Is there something wrong with your reaction? This place is called" Become, why is Senior Suzumi here?!? "or" Wow!! Suzuta. Ugh! I wonder if you're about to raise your voice!?
"Don't change my name to seniors on your own...... you noticed something strange about Kazuki because it's about seniors anyway..."
I've never called him "Senior Bell Tone" or "Suzutan" once.
From what I've seen, there's no way Senior Dogami, the student chairman, wouldn't notice what Kazuki is coming up with. Probably means they followed Kazuki, who jumped out of the castle in the middle of the night.
Totally, if you're there, just get out of the beginning... well, I guess you read the air in a way.
"Oh, it's kind of, Usato, kind of dry against me, isn't it? Did I do something to piss you off? Tell me if you can, I'll fix it right away."
"Why, are you so desperate... why don't you go back to the castle too..."
"... it's time to cry"
"Just kidding."
You think seniors cry?
No, I'm also thinking about doing a dungeon if I actually cry, but as long as I'm saying to myself, "It's time to cry," I'll be perfectly fine.
I thought I was going to walk out, but thanks to the appearance of Senior Kamikami, I was going to stop my legs again.
The senior sitting next to him squeaks deeply emotionally as he looks up at the moon.
"Looks like you blew it out, too, Kazuki. Because she lacked autonomy in a different way..."
"... I... really wanted you to run away. Kazuki has..."
The words I said to Kazuki were genuine.
If you don't want to fight, you don't have to. What makes you sad and have to let you go to a place where you are in danger of death?
With that in mind, as I look in Kazuki's running direction, Senior Dogami puts his hand on my shoulder as to what he thought.
"... Usato, don't you... want me to fight?
"Well, that's right. But you don't think seniors want to fight."
"... so if I say I don't want to fight, will you comfort me?!?
"What are you talking about, you?"
"Hehe, I'm finally out of respect"
I don't know who this person is anymore.
After all, Kazuki and Senior Dog are fundamentally different.
"I don't comfort you, because Senior Dog is not a senior. Seniors don't have to be consoled by younger people, do they?
"Well, the seniors have nothing to do with it..."
"Kazuki is a classmate and friend. That's enough for me."
Turn your back on Senior Dog and walk out toward the dormitory. Looking back a little, he leans down standing.
... I guess I said it a little too tight. Shall I follow you? I feel kind of bad.
"But..."
"Usat, you're a little too tactically challenged. Show me more dere....... hmm? Did you try to say something now?
"... nothing"
"Oh well. Me too...... Time to go back to the castle...... good night"
"Good night, seniors"
After breaking up with her, I return to my quarters as soon as possible, silenced by the words of my senior dog, who was put over my words.
... What the hell would Senior Dog want to do with me? I seriously care about you.
