"I'm a person who doesn't turn away from frustration. Not all people are the same as you. You're not here. You can work hard while having good magic skills. I am a helpless human who keeps fleeing life to the easier ones. ''

I had no idea who was Erin Fottroad.

Erin Fottroad, I know, must be winning, losing, and confident in myself.

The girl in front of her was weak, brittle, and empty.

The genius mage, who should have been respected, has disappeared, leaving only a crying girl.

"I was bullied a long time ago. I was talking about going to school to become a wizard ..."

I cannot hide some embarrassment from the story cut out suddenly.

However, in her head, it is likely that it is the topic above.

I decided to listen to the rest silently.

"What's the reason? Perhaps it's such a personality. It's something you say yourself, but you have a disgusting personality. Just say what you thought and talk about it because you hated it."

I couldn't see Erin's face snorting anymore.

I liked Erin's confidence in herself. I respected him.

However, it seems that his thoughts are being polluted one after another.

"At first, it started out in the shadows and gradually became a direct swear word, turning into harassment when I noticed. I was blown away from the class, ignored, and even lost. It was gone and the treasures that I valued as children were destroyed, sometimes being beaten or kicked. "

My emotions are probably selfish.

Perhaps, the image of the person I envisioned, Erin Fottroad, was wrong from the start.

I thought from her mouth that she was a strong person.

"Of course I told my teacher because it was me. I can't help but complain. I've reported many times that everyone is bullying. Of course, every time I'm a teacher, He was careful to his classmates, but that teacher's words wouldn't stop bullying, because the underlying cause was that my personality hadn't changed. "

But she was actually weak, and if hurt she would hurt her.

"I have a cause for bullying, so I can't help it. It's not like my personality changes all night long.

Her patch has been stripped, and there is a wounded girl.

I didn't know how to call out, so I opened my mouth to say something, but before that I was interrupted with "But ----".

"It was a tough day, but it wasn't all that hard. I had only one friend in a class that was full of enemies. It's amazing. I wasn't familiar with my classmates.I started to hang out on the sad common point of not having the same friends, but I was still good. "

Her tone, which tells a happy memory, is sad for some reason. His face was full of sorrow.

"I had a good time talking with the child. I forgot about the painful and dying days. I talked a lot about magic. I competed in school performances. Share the joy with each other and maybe I was the happiest at that time now. "

that's enough. You don't have to say anything. I thought so.

From her face, I realized that what followed was a sad affair.

"The days of pain and a little happiness from bullying lasted until I was fifteen, and it ended at the moment I was given a gift and gained my skills."

Still she keeps talking. Go under your own heart.

Carefully tear out the invisible fatal wounds one by one and spread them out.

"Obviously, having two of the best skills in a wizard has changed the environment around me, probably because I promised to succeed as a mage. Mate suddenly took out a friendly attitude, and the teachers were serving like a proud student at our school, a student who was just a bully a few days ago. What do you think of me in the past to those who have fallen into love? "

I am puzzled by the question that was suddenly thrown.

I hurry and say, "Is it cold?"

But my answer seemed wrong. Erin shakes her head.

"No, note, reverse, reverse. We were welcomed. We talked during breaks, teamed up with invited people in group work, and played with them after school. I was one of my friends, and I lost my connection with the girl.

I thought Erin's regret was here.

But contrary to my expectations, the story still continues.

"It's strange that a group of people is strange, and it doesn't seem to work unless we create one common enemy. Since my common enemy has disappeared from the class, the next development is easy to understand. I was able to get bullied by the girl who was alone, maybe because of the child who was closest to me from the beginning. "

Erin's tears have withered, and the droplets flowing through have already become white marks.

But the voice was crying as if this was the greatest regret.

"And I pretended to see him being bullied. No, in fact I was complicit in bullying. I couldn't turn down the instructions of my classmates who were bullying me. Well, refuse, if I get bullied again, I thought I didn't want to go back to that hell-like routine anymore. "

She was snarling while sheeping.

"I still remember the last irreparable word I said clearly, 'I was with you and I wasn't happy at all. So don't get me wrong, and don't get used to it. ' Yeah-"

"Why!" Erin screams.

"Why do you thank you! Why do I have to apologize! Actually I have to apologize and I should be grateful! So I thought I would apologize to her the next day. I said nothing, but I might not be able to forgive me anymore.

Erin spun his voice to squeeze everything out of himself.

"At that time it was too late. She stopped coming to school and immediately quit school. I couldn't meet her who had left her distant parent and went out of the dormitory. I can't apologize if I want to apologize. ''

I couldn't blame Erin's outrage.

Because that's what I told you.

It's the same thing I did for my childhood friend.

We betray and hurt our loved ones, and we are living today today.

"She loved magic so much that she turned down the path of magic because of me. I wish I had gone! I was happy without me!"

Everything that made one girl say such a cruel thing seemed hatred.

What she did may not be a permissible event for everyone to judge.

Only I wanted to forgive.

I couldn't tell if it was a companion, a person with similar circumstances, or because she seemed to have suffered more than the justice she needed to confess.

Perhaps all of that is the reason why none of them are enough.

"So I hated everything and I quit school, and I went into the Arrivers as it flowed. There was no clear purpose in dominating the dungeon. However, I took away the magical path from her, and I had a little sense of duty that I had to make great progress on the magical path, so I said, "Prove yourself to be the world's best mage." I guess, I wrote my own goals that I didn't even think of.

Erin tells you of the shock.

A self-introduction in "Arrives (Arrivers)" where I found a goal to advance from a vague life.

Even those precious memories were mixed with lies.

I felt a bit sad that I was betrayed.

But her confession does not stop here.

"There are other s, especially in the notes ..."

"me?"

"Yes, you. I wanted to get you out of the party in the past ..."

"In the old days ... not when Erin was lazy and angry ...?"

"No, from the beginning, from the moment the notebook enters the party-or, more precisely, before you enter the party."

Looking into Erin's eyes, the contents are hollow.

Emotions were almost exhaled and nothing was left inside.

"I hate humans like classmates who have sold themselves to me. I don't have much skill, so I'm humbled by people, who are jealous and hurt someone. I thought I wouldn't want to be involved anymore, so I thought that if you were a top-level adventurer, "Arrivers", you could manage to spend some time. A note came in, so I wanted to get rid of it. "

"Exclusion ..."

"Did you know? I must have told you in the kitchen the day I first met. You said you wouldn't enter the party. Even when you were kidnapped and caught. I finally found an excuse to get kicked out of the party and tried to force it out. ''

The memories with Erin change colors little by little.

At that time, did she think this way? Did you think about this? Did you feel like this?

I seemed to know Erin and didn't understand anything.

He looked only at her superficial parts.

"That's why I kept my cold attitude, but I was wrong. The notes were different from my classmates. On the contrary, I was much more decent and stronger than me, who tried to fall again."

"I am a decent and strong person?"

He opened his mouth to refute, but was stopped by Erin's words.

"Yes. While I was lazy, running away from guilt, the notebook was trying to face my flaws and try to change. I started spelling in" The Arrivers " Note was practicing arts all the time, even though he was no longer sharpening, and now you have changed, and I have not. "

"I'm not such a compliment. If Erin fights, he'll be much stronger."

"I'm a weak person. Even if you win in skills, it doesn't make sense to lose in your heart. Humans need talent, but they need more effort. But you have to work hard and it's wasted. ''

It seems that all plating was finished.

I spit out everything I had in my heart and ended up saying I had finished everything I wanted to say.

"You have the talent. The talent of the effort. And the talent that keeps moving forward. I'll surely make a big difference. I assure you. So leave me and get out of this hierarchy. I'm okay with myself, maybe someone without me could get out of it easily. I don't want to die alone in this darkness, but I'm patient, but I'm a death worthy of me who continued to hurt the people involved. "

"Why do you say that!

"I can't do it anymore. I've broken my heart. So leave it."

Seeing her eyes begging, I must have been able to know her nature for the first time.

At last. At last I was able to understand.

The feelings she had and the truth she had in me.

I gently opened my mouth to answer the question.

"No, I was just lucky, I could change when I met 'Arrives', and that's it, and Erin didn't meet 'Arrives' I am. "

Erin is an old self.

It's just like me, who regrets having hurt Meya before encountering The Arrivers.

"I used to be exactly the same as Erin in the past. He was a weak person. He refused to face himself. But when I met The Arrivers, it changed and that's the only difference. "

"I didn't change when I met 'The Arrivers'! I didn't change! I remained a weak person! I'm different from you! I changed you because of yourself. It was my own fault! "

"That's different! Erin isn't bad! People change for the better or worse by meeting somebody. However, it's up to you to see who you are and how it affects you."

He stared deeply into Erin's eyes, which became emotional.

"It's just a story that salvation for me was 'The Arrivers' and salvation for Erin wasn't 'The Arrivers'. It's like a bit misplaced button If the situation and timing were a little different, each other's position might have been reversed.Erin would have changed, and a future where I didn't change might have been waiting. "

I was betrayed my childhood friend by being given a skill to come off.

Erin has gained a fortunate skill and betrayed his only friend.

I was able to change a bit from my disgusting self when I entered “Arrivals”.

Erin hasn't changed anything since she arrives in Arrivers.

We were alike similar. It was similar and proceeded in the opposite direction.

It was asexually sad.

She is still frustrated. I have not escaped from suffering.

I know because I'm a similar person.

The suffering eats away the heart without hesitation.

I denied myself and I almost disappeared. Vivid, unbearable pain.

In such despair, Erin, who was dying without any salvation, felt poor. I wanted to save.

Don't let her die with her grudge for her life.

I never want to die in such a place.

The wish was there because she could understand her despair.

"That's why Erin will surely be able to meet me like" the person who reaches (salvation) if she lives in the future. I hope she will do that. "

In a world where such a small wish cannot be fulfilled, salvation is too much.

A world where one girl must die without being admitted is wrong.

At least, I never admit.

"I'm gonna stay alive ... I can't get out of this hierarchy. I don't have the confidence to come back alive ..."

"Okay, even if you don't have the confidence. I'll take Erin out of this dungeon. No matter what kind of hand you use, no matter what you sacrifice, you should trust me. I got Erin's approval a while ago, even a strong person. "

Forcing me to laugh, Erin is entangled and lifts .

It was the first real smile she showed at this level.

"I'm not stupid, you ..."

"It's ridiculous, so let's go back together. Everyone is waiting, in the city of Purif."
