I haven't always liked that person, the Note Athlon.

That's from living in my hometown of Changs.

I'm doing it.

A mean, unreliable place.

A place where I can't decide anything alone and just look at the complexion of a person.

Even if there is a complaint, it can only be stored.

There were many other places I didn't like.

I didn't hate it.

I didn't like that. This is the most comfortable expression.

There was no other child of the same age in the village where we lived. They were just two.

What will happen if we grow up as they are now?

There is no other boy of the same generation, so if you live in the village as it is, your marriage partner will also be a notebook.

When I was young, I was often worried.

As a childhood friend, notes are not bad people.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

He acts with me first.

However, I was a little dissatisfied to see it as a love subject.

After all I like people who are more dependable.

He liked a manly, positive personality.

So, young I decided to leave the village.

Finding the right boy to get married.

Become an adventurer. I decided that because my parents were adventurers.

I felt longing for the profession of adventurers.

Speaking of becoming an adventurer, there was also a calculation that parents would be allowed to leave the village.

Since I'm leaving the village, I'll bring my notes with me.

In the past I thought so.

I knew notebooks had always liked me.

I always followed. It was obvious from his attitude and language.

It seems like I thought the notes were hidden.

I couldn't do the cruelty of leaving one village with a good note and leaving the village.

I am a rather computational person.

She is a cunning woman who understands what others like and can act.

Even if I have been with me for many years, my notebook will be full of affection.

I didn't intend to marry Note, but I felt sorry that I couldn't find a partner for my lifetime.

So I wrote the notebook and gave him the same dream as me.

A dream of leaving the village and aiming for a top adventurer together.

I don't hate notes anymore.

There is no problem as an adventurer together.

Rather, it works as much as it works for me.

And sometimes we've been together for years.

It's much better than adventuring with a strange red guy.

Can the notebook be with me and really like other girls?

That was the only worry.

I can say it myself, but I think I am cute.

He has a bad personality, but he can try to show him well.

And I was confident that I liked notes.

If I make a lover, will the notes fall?

I'll be depressed.

Even if you are strong in your mouth, you should be shocked inside.

What if the notebook couldn't give up on my love for me?

What if you can't give up and find a marriage partner?

Notes can do nothing without me. Can not decide.

I guess partly because there was no other person of the same generation. I depended on me.

I couldn't imagine that the notebook would follow another woman.

What if your notebook doesn't want to marry a woman other than me?

Should I take responsibility and get married?

Surely, I can't give up my notebook.

You may sacrifice your happiness and prioritize the happiness of your notebook.

You may even be sorry and get married out of affection.

But that is not the future I want.

I don't really like childhood.

Past myself. Before I broke up with the notebook, I made such a stupid misconception.

When I think back, it's too stupid to laugh.

I need to be in my notebook. that's what I thought.

But it was completely different.

For Note, the human Meyer Line was just a childhood friend.

The first thing I noticed was when I said goodbye to my notebook.

That day when we said goodbye.

I didn't really think I would live separately from my notebook.

However, I was going to scold a notebook that was not relying on me to fight the monster at all, so I broke up.

There was a calculation that the notes would be impatient and that they would tighten their mind.

He may have been angry at him who had forgotten his promise to me.

So we took the brute force.

This time, I thought the notebook would convert my way.

But as a result, the idea was wrong.

For the first time in my life, I was shouted at a notebook.

It's not just after we start adventurers together.

All 15 years of dissatisfaction were hit.

It was my first rebellion.

I thought the notebook really liked me.

That self-confidence has completely disappeared.

So I was upset and said something I didn't even think of.

Unexpectedly, he chose a word that intentionally hurt him and released it.

In that case, it was visible that the notebook became more and more angry.

The quarrel has become unstoppable.

Eventually, the argument was over when I left and wept.

When I left, I didn't remember what I said.

"I can't do notes anymore"

I think I was saying that.

That wasn't really what I wanted.

It was the first time we had a fight, but tomorrow the notebook apologized, and we knew it was going to make up and everything would be resolved.

But no matter how long I wait, the notebook will not come under me.

In the meantime, I started to get a request with other appropriate adventurers.

For the first time, I realized I was limited.

I didn't mean to abandon my notebook.

I don't really like him though.

I need to be in my notebook.

Surely I would not live without me.

It seems pitiful to give up. I can't do that.

that's what I thought.

But it was wrong.

For the notebook, I was no longer necessary.

After realizing that fact, I could not stay in the city of Broad.

I feel betrayed on my own.

He escaped hearing his name and escaped.

I wanted to go as far as possible from the city of Broad.

I don't know notes anymore.

You just have to realize my importance after you're gone.

With that in mind, I decided to head to the royal capital and have a party with someone else for the first time.

For the next two years, I tried to forget my best childhood friend.

Ungrateful. Unfriendly person. Let's do the traitor's worst.

Why do I have to be abandoned?

I'm actually in a position to abandon my notebook.

Well, I guess I need a notebook.

Pissed me off. Looking down the notebook, my pride was hurt by shreds.

I want to look back. I want to regret having forsaken me.

With that intent, I joined a party that was gaining momentum, the Shining Sword (Raiders).

Neither do I consider the people of The Raising Swords to be from the bottom of my heart.

For me, Shining Swords (Raiders) was just a way to look back at my notes.

So I had to be careful not to disguise my skills and disrupt the party like I did when I was writing notes.

However, I just need to dress up the brand of “Sparkling Swords (Raiders)” and regret my notebook.

When the Shining Sword (Raiders) climbed to the gold rank, I was really happy.

At last, I was disappointed with the notebook and rejoiced from the bottom of my heart.

So when I found him in the city's adventurer's guild, I couldn't stand my smile.

At last. At last revenge can be fulfilled.

You may have been chasing me, but it's too late to apologize now.

I will never forgive you. I do not forgive prostrate or cry.

That's why I just regret having forsaken me for a lifetime.

But the joy was completely misplaced.

The notebook did not come to this royal city in pursuit of me.

On the contrary, I saw me and tried to escape.

He called, but was ignored once.

Besides, take a cute girl next door.

I guess they were about to start off as adventurers.

It's different. What is that girl?

I suppose I should be there.

It's me who promised to be a top adventurer together.

Why did you pull out and try to leave?

My hands didn't touch me after I got older.

That's when you meet your eyes.

In the past, I was shy and looked away. Now, don't look away at all.

Cute?

In the past, you never said that. The only thing I couldn't say was the notebook.

Don't you like me anymore?

Did you switch to that girl?

As a matter of fact, could anyone be a girl who was nearby?

The dissatisfaction with such notes overflowed one after another.

Why are you so frustrated?

This looks like I was abandoned twice.

I'm sorry, and my anger is coming.

I decided to be mean.

I wanted to break between the two, breaking into a relationship between Noto and Rozria.

I showed Rosria-chan where the note flew over me, and decided to limit her.

So I decided to help them, but in the end I just showed them off.

For some reason Roslia has full trust in the notebook.

It wasn't a relationship that could break me.

……What that.

Why does Roslia trust him so much?

I can't beat monsters either. Not motivated to forget Dagger.

I can't decline people's suggestions, and there are many bearish remarks.

Why did you decide to follow such a person?

Where is he attracted?

I like notes.

There couldn't have been anyone other than me.

Unexpectedly, the whereabouts of a woman suddenly took me away.

Why did this happen?

This is not my desired future.

In that case, I didn't leave the village. I didn't become an adventurer.

If it can be abandoned. If you can taste such regrets.

It was better to spend the whole time in the village and grow up.

What was wrong? Where did he make the mistake?

Can't we go back like we used to ...?

Today I continued to regret.

***

"Hey, Meya. I'm going to stop accepting requests today."

As usual, when I went to help Noto and Rozria-chan, I got that out of my notebook.

"What happened suddenly?"

"I want to talk about the old thing again."

I don't want to talk about the old days.

I don't want to reconcile.

I just want to regret that the notebook abandoned me in the past.

"That's good. I don't care."

Of course, I can't say that.

I will laugh and parry.

However, the notebook ignored this consideration and cut further.

"Is that it?"

"That's not true"

"Well, why are you helping me out?"

For a moment, I wondered if my thoughts were found in the notebook.

But think calmly and realize that it shouldn't be.

Notes are dull people.

I've been together for fifteen years and don't even notice my nature.

You can't even notice the darkening emotions that are swirling in my chest now in a progressive way.

"Because it seemed that the notebook was in trouble ..."

"Did you skip the activities of the shining sword (Raiders)?"

"that is……"

I didn't think I was so far on the note.

It's a dull note. You can't notice it yourself.

Perhaps Eldrich told me.

"I guess I'm out of it. I wanted to be ranked up in the notes quickly, so I just took a break."

"Break your promises, do you usually get to childhood friends who said bad things?"

Today's notes seem to be hard to withdraw.

She responded with a smirk, while taking care of her.

"That's why I don't care. It's natural to help if you're having a childhood friend, right?"

"If you didn't care, why were you spitting out on Eldrich?"

"It wants to help notes-"

"I'm not that. He's the one who falsified his skills. You're underreporting your skills, right?"

"..."

I didn't think it was so bad.

I realized that my face was twitching because of upset.

"Miya is still worried about being betrayed by me, so he's hiding his ability from everyone in the Raiders?"

"Well ..."

"It's okay. Don't hide it. I know it."

The notes do not know anything.

If you know, you can just break up with Rozria and rely solely on me.

Now it's time for me to throw away my notes.

"What do you want to say to me? There's a lot of dissatisfaction, right?"

It is decided to be. There are too many words to complain about.

But when I say that, the notebook is no longer attached to me.

That is not what I want.

"It may be a bit, but not enough to complain."

"I can't tell you honestly ..."

The notebook drops his shoulder.

I want to drop my shoulder.

that's enough. I don't want to talk about the past.

Move as I want. Like in the past.

"Hey, Meer"

"……what?"

"Why not fight?"

"……What do you mean?"

I am confused by sudden unknown meaning.

"Why is that so?"

"We've been fighting very little until now, that's only when we were parted by Meyer in the city of Broad."

"That's right ..."

"I don't think it was a good thing. Even Miyah must have been complaining to me for a long time. Even so, they accumulated each other, so I guess that would have happened."

That kind of thing might mean the event of a parting day, where each other bumps into dissatisfaction and hurt each other.

"I understand what the notes mean, but I hate fighting. I hate hurt and I don't want to hurt."

"If I can do it, I don't want to be hurt or hurt. But, we're not at that stage anymore. I guess the relationship is so tidy that we can't solve it cleanly anymore."

I know. Such a thing.

So I'm giving the notebook the same suffering that I've tasted, and trying to forget all about the past.

That's it for the end. You don't have to fight.

"Isn't it really about fighting?"

"That's right ..."

"What do you quarrel with? Just complain?"

"No ... let's talk about it with a fist like an adventurer ..."

"Do you fight to talk with your fist?"

Did the notebook go crazy?

If we fight, the one with physical strengthening skills will win.

Can be bumpy.

"Well. Of course, we can have weapons and arts. Wouldn't it be better to fight with all your might?"

"If you do that, you'll be hurt."

"There's Roslia for that. Can he use recovery spells?"

"You can use it, because the priest also did it."

Roslia, who had been silent for a long time, raised her hand.

"That's how it is"

"But no matter how much healing spells you have, you may die if you do your best."

"That's just to be careful ..."

The notes laugh.

Look, I'm not thinking at all.

It's just an idea to fight.

"Then I can't fight with all my might."

"Do you misunderstand one?"

"Well, what did you misunderstand?"

"If you've just heard it, why are you talking on the premise of winning the fight?"

"Why ..."

"I'll tell you, I'll do my best, because I won't lose."

――Tsu

Inadvertently grips the fist.

Calm down, me. This is just a provocation.

I'm just banging just to make me quarrel.

I don't really want to win.

"I'm dissatisfied with Meya. I won't bother trying to lose."

So don't take the provocation, me.

"And when I saw Meiya fighting the monsters, I thought it wasn't growing at all.

Those who are not growing are the notebooks.

Don't fight monsters.

"Maybe you're afraid? Will you lose to me?"

"It's bad, but don't complain if you get bumpy."

...... I got on it.

That's an idiot, me. What are you doing?

But it can't be helped. I didn't seem to be able to control the frustration.

"I must come so"

"I ask, but can I use bows and spiritism?"

"of course"

"I would say, if I had no handicap, I would never win."

"It's this line."

――Tsu

"Let's fight in the woods as a handicap. Let Meya get 120% more power."

"... I don't know if I regret it."

Why is my childhood friend so good at irritating people so far?

Now, I hit my face with all my might. I was confident.

"I'm looking forward. I can beat Meya."

"It's only now that I can afford it."

"Yes, please do your best."

Why am I like a downgrade?

The challenger is the notebook, right?

decided. I'll never do anything. Absolutely win.

This wasn't what I wanted, but this might be fine.

If you knock down your notebook, you will feel good. The crossing may be in the past.

That may be the idea of the notebook, but I'm sorry but I can't get on it.

***

"Isn't it just right for fighting here?"

The place taken by the notebook was a wasteland in the woods.

At first glance, it's the perfect place for a duel.

There is a ground with a radius of about 10m where only short weeds grow, and the forest is covered closely around it.

Is this narrow grassland the stage of a duel?

"Do you mean fighting here?"

"It's a good place with no trees and easy rays to pass through. It's in the woods, and it requires correction of Meer's skills."

Apparently, Note intends to begin the fight on really favorable terms.

What the heck are you thinking? I don't think I'm going to win.

"Are you sane?"

"What is insane?"

"No, if I'm going to be blurred. I don't know if I regret it."

"Yes yes"

Saying that, the notebook walks with his back.

I stopped about 10m away from me.

"Well then fight?"

The note holds a dagger.

As expected, he did not forget his weapon today.

"OK"

Hold the bow I was carrying.

An arrow was pinched by one finger from the waist tube.

"Where should I go?"

Lozria-chan, who followed, cried out.

The notebook answers that.

"That's right. Please stop by the edge."

"Well, did I need to come? Wouldn't it be a hindrance to your struggle?"

"No, you need it. I want someone who can use the recovery spell in case one gets hurt."

"I can use any spiritistic healing spells."

"Speaking of which, I could use Meyer too. Then, as a referee, take a look at the end."

"I see. I'll give you a strict judge."

Rozria declared, and walked to the edge of the wasteland.

Apparently, Rosria seems to take a neutral position in our struggle.

He left his back on a standing tree and folded his arms.

At that place, I wouldn't be hit by the bullets of my attack.

We can fight with confidence.

Look at the front. My eyes matched my notebook.

The distance between the notebook and me is 10m in a straight line.

At this level, arrows are effective weapons.

As long as you maintain the distance, you can win with the bow and arrow alone.

Of course, you also want to avoid deploying your notebook unilaterally.

Always approaching.

At least until you reach the dagger range, the notebook has no chance.

The scaffold is not bad. There are weeds, but they won't get in the way.

Opening haste, likely to run straight.

No problem. I have [Body Enhancement / Large].

All you have to do is process your approaching notes calmly, taking advantage of differences in physical abilities.

And in order for the note to approach, you must avoid the flying arrows.

At this distance, even if the notebook runs at full speed, I can shoot at about two shots.

Even without two shots, I was confident that I could make a single shot.

I can only see the vision I win.

"So, are you both good?"

Rozria raises her right hand.

And I and the notebook nodded and answered.

"The game has begun."

The fire of the war broke out.

At first I shot. Decide in an instant.

The face is useless. Notes die.

I will aim at my feet.

Predicted where the note would pop out, and shot the arrow.

`` Fake and shadow ''

It was only a moment when the shadows were cast on the notebook's body and disappeared.

-Yaba.

I felt sudden murder and jumped back with all my might.

A physical reflex that has been an adventurer for many years.

It is desperate to use the visual acuity to follow the notebook with your eyes.

--Not in. What happened?

I feel rushed.

Look closely and look around.

What was that earlier?

Arts? Is it an art that disappears?

He said, "Fake and shadow." I have never heard such an art.

Calm me. Keep calm.

If you get confused, it's the pot you want.

I'm not sure, but the notebook has hit the void with art I don't know.

Before fighting, it seemed that he was not like you.

She seems to really beat me.

But there is a skill difference between me and the notebook.

If you calm down and deal with it one by one, it will not be a fight to lose.

The first is where your notes are. You cannot attack or defend if you lose track of it.

Look around the wasteland carefully.

There are no shields and no places to hide here.

There is only me and Roslia.

So where are you? Up?

Wrong. Above the head, there are holes in the forest.

-Is it a forest?

Move your eyes to the trees surrounding the wasteland. There were many places to hide.

It is a complete miscalculation. I thought that the notebook would make the distance clearer.

But in fact, I chose the opposite.

I took a distance and hid in the woods.

Arrows do not pass through the forest.

That's what the notes were saying.

It is an effective way to neutralize my bow.

but it's okay. That means does not work for me.

`` Awareness

Activate monster hunting arts, a must for hunters.

With this arts, you can detect even the signs of people around you.

Not in. why? I can't find it at all.

Also try activating "Super Sensation" in search arts. However, it is still not found.

Are you not in the forest? That's not true.

So where did you go?

It disappeared suddenly.

"Roslia-chan, my notebook is gone. What happens in this fight?"

"Even if I tell you that ..."

Immediately, goose bumps appear on the body.

I could see the scene where my neck was cut off.

Also, my body moved reflexively. Roll away from the spot.

nothing. Place your hand on the body and make sure that there is no injury.

For now, he was just killed. I wasn't really attacked.

Finally noticed. When he first disappeared, he also seemed to be killing.

Being killed means that notes are lurking nearby.

Apparently, there is a will to continue the battle.

I guess I had asked Rosria to see if he was going to fight, and he would show up.

Note seems to have taken the bandit fighting style (battle style) after parting with me.

I think the bandits had a stealth-of-the-arts art.

It seems that the art is still disappearing.

If you have Sensitivity and Super Sensation, you may be able to see through Stealth ’.

Maybe there is some trick.

There seem to be some "secret stealth" uses that don't even work for "beware of witnesses", and there will be exceptions.

Earlier, we turned our eyes to where the killing flew. It must have been from that tree.

Squeeze the bow. Stop before you release the arrow.

It is useless. Don't be impatient.

Note should have immediately moved to the hiding place after he had killed him.

I'm not there anymore.

Shoot an arrow to make a gap.

The notebook will be surprised if I can.

The notebook is waiting for me.

Hiding and looking at the opportunity, decide the game in an instant.

It's a fight as a bandit.

I may have to change my awareness of notes.

He has some of the basics of bandits.

He must have found a good teacher.

But just because you have the basics doesn't mean you can win.

In the end, it's the ability of each other to win or lose.

There are weaknesses in how to fight thieves.

"Evergreen Spirit (Esmeralda) ---)

Attacks with range-killing spells.

If you are lurking in the trees, you can clear this area.

More extensive than "Evergreen Spirit (Esmeralda), Using Wind (Vient), Generating Storm (Ulakan)".

Choose high power spells.

"I'm sorry, Rozria-chan. Protect yourself. You can do it, right?"

"Are you insane? If you shoot like that, Note-kun ..."

Rozria-chan is terrified by my magical powers.

Of course, if you shoot this, your notes will not be free.

So you should jump out to stop my blow.

Hit it there.

If you're just waiting for this chance, you just need to create a gap for the notes.

Bandits have no guard spells. It cannot be prevented like Rozria-chan.

Come on, come on. I'll settle it.

"..."

It does not come out.

The notes may also have this intention.

He probably decided that this spirit was a bluff. To pull yourself out.

If so, I will not forgive. Beat your notes with all your might.

"Using the wind (Vient)-"

If you don't, you just have to spell it.

`` Fall Wall

After confirming that Rozria had deployed the defense spell, I assigned the phenomenon.

"--Generate Storm (Tempester)"

The magic was converted into a wind vortex and exploded.

Top spell of << Evergreen Spirit (Esmeralda), Using Wind (Vient), Generate Storm (Ulakan) >>.

The highest spiritualism I can use at the moment.

That's Esmeralda, the Spirit of the Greenery, using the wind (Vient) to create a storm (Tempester).

Once this spell is activated, all that remains is to destroy it.

The wind becomes fangs and cuts through trees and the earth.

Plants and rocks dance and dye the surroundings with black swirls.

Is Rozria safe?

That child's Fallen Wall is very hard.

When I first saw it, I was surprised. There is no such defensive spellcaster in Raiders.

Roslia will surely prevent it.

I trusted it and chanted it.

Notes have no way to prevent this spelling.

He is different from Roslia. They have no.

Did you run away? During my chanting.

Otherwise, you could die.

It shouldn't be stupid.

If you're a faint note, you'll probably run away.

If you witness the power of this spell, you'll acknowledge that even notes are lost.

My victory was a fixed one.

The notebook had to jump out of my mind before I could invoke spiritism.

That way, only a few winners remain.

Looking at the trees that had been knocked down, I thought so.

It was after the natural threat had passed.

There is no single upright tree. It is no longer a sign of disaster.

Over hundreds of meters, no trace of life remains.

The storm was exhausting.

"Roslia, are you okay?"

Talk to the towering wall of light in the falling trees.

When the light went out, Rosria crawled out of it.

"I'm okay-"

With that said, Roslia looked around.

There are only the remains of nature. I can't find the note.

"Alive notebook!"

Place your hand next to your mouth and shout loudly.

Sound like a note that has fled far.

"If you're alive, come out!"

"Hey, you came out as you want."

Behind. I heard a voice right next to my ear.

I tried to turn around, but I felt the cold metal on my neck, and my body solidified.

"I'm fine with my win."

The notebook suddenly had a dagger on my neck.

Completely taken behind. There was a gap.

My life and death was completely up to the notebook.

why? I endured the question, and I declared.

"... Surrender"
