"Hey, Meyer. There's an important story ..."

On the way home after fulfilling today's request and completing the report to the guild. I called out to Meiya.

Of course there is Rosria next to it.

"What happened? What's important?"

Looking back at Meyer, he recalls his interaction with Eldrich this morning.

――Miya of our party is in trouble with helping you guys. I haven't been able to do any activity on the “Raiding Swords (Raiders)” in recent days.

He said: Maya is spitting at us.

Miya is a member of The Shining Sword (Raiders).

You really have to give priority to your party activities.

It's wrong to try to help your childhood friend, even if you're bothering others.

It's my fault that I've been helping me until I skipped my party activities.

She was so dissatisfied with me that she decided to get involved.

But she is kind. He doesn't have the ability to cut out things that hurt him.

So, first of all, I have to talk about past events.

"If I had to, I had to tell Meya earlier."

"What happened suddenly? I had a serious face."

Meya was laughing and waving.

In this case, you can run away as a joke.

If you do, you will be out now.

But it never helps her.

I decided to take a step.

"I have to apologize for the old days"

――Tsu

Smile disappeared from Meyer's face.

The bright atmosphere that had flowed into the place disappeared in an instant.

Roslia, walking behind, silently looks at him.

"The day we two broke up, I was so terrible that I made Meyer cry. Not only that. From the time she started to be an adventurer, she was relying on Meyer, and she was just skipping."

It's not just a farewell for that day. Including the lazy days until then.

Originally, he said everything he had to apologize on the day he was parted.

"I promised to fulfill my dream, but I broke. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

He stopped and bowed deeply.

I really had to apologize sooner.

I had to apologize first after meeting again.

Meyah wouldn't be involved with me anyway.

It may be temporary even if you help with the request. I will return to other people's relationships soon.

In the first place, Meiya should not be involved with me, so there is no need to break the feud between them.

I made an excuse like that and tried to pass it.

But that was wrong.

"I don't think I'll be allowed to do anything else. I hate me.

Not to be forgiven by Meiya.

Just so that she can come to terms with the past and see the present.

I just lowered my head.

"..."

For a while, silence flows.

She looked up as she sought her response, and she opened her mouth at the same time.

"What is that?-I was surprised because she suddenly had a serious face."

I laughed at my serious apology as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, don't apologize. I don't care otherwise. How much do you dig into the old days?

"What are you saying ..."

"I'm not angry anymore. I was emotional at that time."

"No, but-

"But not. This story is over.

"It's all good-"

"If I dig further, I'm going to get angry. I said I didn't care. If so, it's okay."

Without telling me, I apologize for this apology.

I never thought that this would happen.

My head turns white on an unexpected event.

"Is that just the end?"

"……Oh dear"

I could only respond with an ambiguous reply.

I have to say something more.

While this is impatient, Meyer proceeds with herself.

"I'm afraid Rozria-chan, even if she suddenly begins a serious apology."

"No, I don't mind ..."

"Once again, don't be shy. I'm in trouble in the first place."

Meiya continued with her arms folded behind her head.

"Let's talk more brightly. Tomorrow's lunch, where to eat--"

My full apology was overshadowed by Meiya's cheerful voice.

"It was good.

This apology was cut off as it was and after a talk without a body for a while.

When she left, Rosria laughed while saying that.

What is she talking about? The misplacement is enormous.

She shook her head slowly and answered.

"It's the opposite. I missed the opportunity to make up. Meyer refused to deal with the past because she was still suffering from the wounds I had."

"Why is that happening?"

Roslia, who hadn't heard from Eldrich, might not have been as good.

You probably think that Meyer really said he didn't care about past conflicts.

But I was sure it was .

she had been spitting so far proves it.

"Speaking of which, Rosria didn't tell me I met Eldrich this morning."

"Is Mr. Eldrich who has spoken to us in the guild before?"

"Yes, I had a consultation with that person. I knew that Meiya was vomiting."

"Is it?"

Rozria tilted her head with no apparent expression.

"You said that 'Raiders' haven't been active recently, so you could come out to help us, but it's totally , even while Meyer is helping us here. There was an activity in The Glowing Swords (Raiders). In short, Meiya was skipping her party activities, and she talked to her about that. "

"Is that so……"

Roslia muttered with her hand on her mouth.

"Sure, it's bad to skip our party, is that so problematic? You just wanted to reconcile with Note because of help ? "

"If that were the only thing, I might have been misunderstood like that. I guess he might have forgiven me. But that wasn't the only thing that Meya was spitting. "

This is a fact that even Eldrich could not tell.

Because it wasn't spitting on me, but spitting on the Shining Sword (Raiders).

"Miya was trying to make himself appear weaker, declaring his skills to the members of the Raiders, declaring something somewhat inferior to his real skills."

――Because there isn't any adventurer who has physical enhancement and spirit skills in [bowing / large].

Eldrich told Meyer:

But that's wrong.

Meyer's real skill is [bowing / pole].

When Meyer was praying in The Gift of Giving, she actually saw the characters reflected on God's stone disk.

I can't be wrong.

Other skills are [Physical ability / Large] and [Mori spirit spirit blessing].

Both are very good skills, as one alone has promised success as an adventurer.

Eldrich used to express physical strength and spiritual skills, but he felt uncomfortable.

If he knew about Meyer's [physical ability / large] and [Blessing of Mori spirit king], he would have emphasized that point more.

Meyer probably lied about all skills.

"that's……"

It's no surprise that Rozria is surprised.

Some adventurers have values that make it a taboo to deceive their skills to party members.

Party members are each other's life.

It's all about impersonating the skills that are fundamental to your abilities.

In fact, what is being taboo is to overstate your skills.

I don't know what to do if it's an understatement like Meya.

In the first place, trying to make yourself look weak does not happen so much.

To be honest, it is too rare to judge whether it is taboo.

"From the beginning, I thought it was weird, because Miya with such a versatile skill was not so famous as an adventurer."

Meyer's skill mix has been blessed with more than a dozen adventurers in this world.

Nevertheless, it was strange that he had lived in the royal capital for six months and never heard of his name.

The same is true of the “Sparkling Sword (Raiders)”.

Its name is famous in the adventurer neighborhood of the royal capital, but all of its fame belongs to Eldrich.

No matter how good Eldrich's skills are, Meyer's skill structure is not half-baked enough to be buried in it.

"Miyah intentionally hid his abilities from members of the Raiders. Maybe that's true."

And I wanted to hide my ability until Meya deceived her friends.

"I'm sure it's my fault to do that. I've been unable to keep up with her and betrayed the dream I had made together. It shouldn't have happened that Meiya didn't care about that time." If you didn't care, I didn't vomit anything. "

She might have thought this when she entered The Shining Sword (Raiders).

I have to make the same mistake again.

I break others' hearts because of my ability.

I don't want that anymore.

So, hide all your skills and abilities and live as an ordinary adventurer.

That's the exact opposite of what I used to get to Arrivers.

It's the opposite of me, who promised to be unrestricted and hoped to change myself.

I met The Arrivers, trusted them, and decided to keep up.

Meyer came across the "Splendid Swords (Raiders)" and decided not to trust them and to go through one person.

I was saved by The Arrivers, but Meyer was not saved by the Shining Sword (Raiders).

Not that the Raiders are inferior.

I think Eldrich is as good as Jin.

I don't think the Force beats the members of the Raising Swords in personality.

It's a matter of timing and luck as to which encounter will save you.

Surely, if the gears were a little off, I and Meya were in reverse.

Meyer fully demonstrates her abilities with the Raising Swords, gaining her reputation as the best adventurer in the royal capital.

I can't keep up with the Arrivers, leave the party, and return to the dull adventurer life of carrying luggage.

Such a possibility was very possible.

"Miyah is still dragging a break from me. That's why I couldn't take my apology right today.

Meiya said. It's been over.

Because it was past, I tried to make it not even hurt.

I thought that if I could endure everything, everything would fit in round.

But that's wrong. We can't say we've overcome the past.

"What should I do? I want Meyer to face me now. Don't be pulled by the past. Otherwise, my life is still painful."

I was like this since I came to this city.

Dragging Jin's death. I threw away all the memories of the fun "Arrivers" and forcibly tried to walk a normal life.

However, life that has been dragged in the past should be aimed at happiness, but it is far from happy.

I think it was just painful every day.

"Isn't it impossible if you hurt yourself? What saves Meya?"

"I don't know. Your problem is yours. Even if I'm not the party, I might be misplaced."

"that's true……"

Rosria is right.

This is a problem for me and meya.

It's not a simple question to ask a third party and find the answer.

"I'm just giving you one piece of advice that may be off the point, but is there a serious problem with your misunderstanding?"

"eh?"

Asked at a fundamental question, he gets hungry.

"Nothing serious--"

"If you hear it, it's a quarrel that's everywhere. The motivation of the party has fallen apart, and we get lost. There are ten things I just know. The only worst thing about dragging each other is that it's special. ''

That may be true from an objective point of view.

Still, I will refute as a party who has suffered and suffered to death in the past.

"But I was the first time I told Meya that bad thing, so she was hurt-"

"It's my first time to say such a bad thing. Did you ever fight?"

"It's probably not. Speaking of which, even when I was little, maybe I don't have a memory of arguing ..."

Me and Meya grew up in a village called Changs.

We played alone in an environment without people of the same age.

It might be a nuisance to say good friends, but I was still trying to keep the waves off.

"That's why the fight was so tiring. I wasn't used to fighting, so I didn't know how to reconcile. I asked on the contrary. Isn't it unusual if you didn't have it? I guess you should have been fighting countless times, right? "

"that is……"

I could not refute.

I've always liked Meyer since childhood.

She lived avoiding clashes and hurt her.

I thought it was good. I thought it was right.

But that's a different way of engagement for young children.

So I made a mistake at that time.

And they continue to make mistakes.

"I see. I was wrong from the beginning. So I didn't try to behave like the old days. I failed."

We had a conversation as if the two had never separated.

He hid himself in the "Arrives" era, playing somewhere he was sadly weak.

If so, I apologized.

I totally admitted I was a bad guy.

Then nothing is different from us.

Even if we stay together in the wrong relationship, it only hurt each other.

"Thank you, Roslia. I woke up a little."

"I don't mean to say the right thing. Don't take it too true."

Rosria responded in humble words, in a way that couldn't be called an escape.

But now I didn't think her words were so irrational.

A ray of light came into myself that resolved Meyer's feud.

"I understand. I'll keep it as a hint."

"That's right. If I get more involved with my extra advice, it won't be a laugh."

"I don't have to worry about that, maybe because I'm going to be more stiff.

Now, what we need most between us is not to start over and get along.

Break all the relationships you have built up and liquidate all feuds.

You have to turn her ties down to zero and turn her forward.

That was fine, even if I wanted to completely break the relationship between Meyer and me.

"Eh, are you even more nervous?"

"It's already. Maybe you'll be cut off."

"Is it okay?"

Roslia asked with anxiety.

"Okay. It was kind of like being cut off. I happened to meet again and I had the opportunity to talk like this. Absent?"

"What does Note think about adventurers ..."

This time, I was looking at my eyes.

For some reason his mouth was laughing.

"But I think that adventurers would be a good match for Note-kun. I have that kind of character."

"Yeah? I think it's not suitable for adventurers."

It's delicate. I'll be depressed soon.

He is sad but unreliable.

"I have an adventurer-like personality that I think is exciting ..."

"Sure, Note-kun doesn't feel exciting--"

I added so.

"I'm a pretty messed up person. I may not have noticed it."

"I'm not going to do that at all ..."

I wasn't really aware.

In fact, even now, even when pointed out, the evaluation is not satisfactory.

There is no such thing as an adventurer like me.

"That's right. So I don't know what I'm going to do this time, but don't be so crazy."

"It's okay. I don't think you'll hurt yourself."

"I'm going to do that dangerous thing."

Well, what do you want to do in the future?

Is it OK to have one or two arrows stuck in the body?

What are you thinking.
