"You don't have to worry..."
Mr. Philip was in tears when he realized who I was.
That would be due to regret.
And shut up for over five years.
Jump up the spear of the soldier who came at me and slaughter him where he became defenseless.
The opponent, apparently a conscripted peasant, was given a regular item of equipment, but did not possess enough skill to handle it. Thanks to that I was able to prevent spears by simply playing them lightly.
"I'm proud to be one of you."
I was ten years old when I first met Mr. Phillip and the others as' Illistia ', and my face was already gone when I was' Illis'.
That allowed me to work as an adventurer with you until now without being known that I was' Illis'.
"This is my vow. If you don't mind, don't worry about Mr. Phillip."
At the time of the war with the Empire ten years ago.
Me and my family, who lived in Krashel, were attacked by the Knight of the Empire, and my family was slaughtered before my eyes.
My father was quickly slashed to death in an attempt to defeat the knight who was about to be attacked by his family, and my mother, who held me with her back to the knight in an attempt to protect me, was slashed in the back and died, as was my brother, who was holding hands until just before.
As soon as I thought I'd be slashed too, not knowing what happened, the red flash rushes through and slashes down the Imperial Knight one after the other.
"I'm here to help."
What seemed like a red flash was a beautiful red-haired woman with her shoulders stretched out, using her sword to take down our family enemies from next to next.
And when you defeat them all, you see the family falling all around you.
"I'm sorry. I can't make it."
He had a sad look on his face.
You don't have to look like that.
Because everything bad is the Imperial Army that killed my family.
That's what I wanted to say, but I couldn't put my thoughts into words at a young age, and a red-haired woman went somewhere while I was silent.
The war will be a truce in a few days and the Imperial Army will turn back.
Then, losing my family and being unaccompanied, I am taken to an orphanage near a city church. The grief of losing a family, the unfamiliar environment. The first thing I did while enduring them was look for a sister who helped me in the city that became a battlefield.
I just want to say a word and thank you.
It wasn't hard to find your sister.
I found myself a famous adventurer in the city when I searched for "a very strong sister with red hair" with an innocent child.
But I didn't get to see him.
Sister - Tiana said the wound she sustained after she helped me had caused her death.
Ms. Tiana had defeated her enemies to the point where she continued to fight to drive back the Imperial Army despite such wounds.
But Mr. Tiana isn't here anymore.
The next time the Imperial Army attacks you, you have to fight without Mr. Tiana.
Who did?
Tiana helped me. I have no choice but to take Tiana's place!
I dreamed of working out desperately while waiting for my body to grow up in the orphanage to meet the Phillips, desperately begging them to let me into the party and acquire the power of Mr. Tiana as I taught them so much.
That's how I protect Mr. Phillip, who was a party member, as are the people in Krashel.
So...
"This is my vow."
Slash an Imperial Army soldier approaching to stab a stop at a wounded Mr. Philip in the middle of the battlefield.
I can't care less about wear and tear anymore.
"You stupid bastard!
I kept crying as I watched Iristia keep fighting to protect herself.
When I first met her, I was partying temporarily with a bunch of adventurers looking for a replacement member for Tiana.
But after five years, I couldn't find anyone to replace Tiana.
Let's give up now.
It was the rushing adventurer Iristia we met when such an atmosphere was drifting among the three of us.
The color of her hair was completely different in red and blue, but she was a girl reminiscent of Tiana when we met somewhere. That's why I welcomed him to our party without anyone opposing him.
The presence of the new girl who joined the party blended in uncomfortably with us.
He was an Iristian who only had enough power to fight a little at first, but he absorbed our experiences one after the other with just a little teaching.
It resembled Tiana as it grew that way.
It didn't mean one of us was in love with Tiana, but it made me feel like a father wondering if it would have been like this if one of us and Tiana had kids.
But now I regret it.
Instead of "resembling" Tiana, she told Tiana to "let it resemble" her.
I heard about Tiana where we didn't know it, and I was conscious of trying to be like Tiana because of her appearance and tone.
I didn't realize the mood of such a daughter.
I want to protect us instead of my mother.
It's disqualification of a father not to even realize that.
"Move, my body...!
About losing one arm.
You still have one arm left, so you still have enough power to help your daughter.
I get up with one hand poking at the ground somehow.
"Geez."
A blown Illistia pops into my nostalgia.
Take it with your chest and take it gently with your left arm.
"Are you all right?
"... Yes"
If you look in the front, a knight with a halvard stood.
Has he attacked my daughter?
"You rest here."
"No, it's impotent to fight even though you only have one arm!
"One arm will suffice."
How many times have you lost one arm?
I can't work as an adventurer in the future, and that doesn't change where I fled.
This time, a compulsory request was made to the adventurer because of an emergency.
Mandatory requests are suspended for five years if rejected by an intermediate adventurer, the B-rank adventurer. And it will be permanently suspended if the advanced adventurer, S.A-ranked adventurer, refuses.
Except for Illistia, the members are B-rank, but five years of disqualification for us, which has already passed its full season, means death.
Besides, we can't just run away with our daughter.
Standing forward ignoring Mr. Philip, who was about to rise, lays a sword against a knight with a halvard.
"Do you still stand up"
"Of course."
How much could you defeat?
I should have slaughtered at least twenty people, so it might be commendable if you think of it as an individual battle.
But much less than Mr. Tiana's results.
In the end, I could never reach Mr. Tiana's strength, although I tried to be strong.
"Don't feel bad. This is war."
"It's up to you."
Don't feel bad about attacking me on your own?
You can't be allowed to be on your own like that.
This is the life I've given up for a little while, but let's decide to scratch to the end to chase Mr. Tiana at all.
"I'll kill all the Imperial Army."
"... That's a good deal"
Hundreds of people are still fighting around, leaving more imperial soldiers in the back.
There are still enemies left to defeat.
A knight with a halvard walked forward as he renewed his determination...... his head exploded.
"... Huh?
It's not just the knight in front of you.
The bodies of the Imperial Army soldiers who were on the front line will explode one after the other.
Unharmed to soldiers on Krashel's side.
"What the hell is going on!?
That sounds surprising to someone whether it was from the Krashel side or the Empire side, but no one had that answer.
"Up?"
You can see that your body is being blown away by a shock fired from above as you try to find the identity of the object that is causing the Imperial Soldier to explode.
It becomes quite magical when it comes to shock enough to blow up the flesh.
If you look up in the sky, you can see that there are shadows in the sunlight.
The person lands right next to me when he comes down slowly.
"Well, the coat..."
A black coat worn by someone I've only met once.
How could he be in a place like this that's supposed to be in Alistair?
Him - Mars, turning to me,
"I'm here to help."
I said that.
Gender is different, height is high, and voice is low. Even the colors are different in red and black. I myself grow and stand, so I just have to look up. Approaching from height. Everything is different.
But the same word.
The moment I heard that word, I couldn't stop the tears from coming.
Joy and remorse.
I was delighted by the thought of saying the same words as when Tiana helped me and said 'I helped you,' and regret the fact that I was still a person on the side of being able to help, even though I meant to be strong.
"Come on, let's start fighting back."
The appearance of a young man who didn't look nervous in front of the great army was just admirable.
