Heibon na Watashi wa Tonikaku Hibon

"Yes! 5500 guillotas!!

"Hey, nice to see you again."

Tonic, who received money for the meat from his uncle at the butcher shop, joins him.

"Okay, so we're going to go sign up for Rio's contractor."

The next day you defeated the bear demon.

It is the King's capital that the five of us have come as declared.

It's Main Street that takes the five of us standing up and walking.

A lot of people go out and a lot of shops line up.

"I always thought this place was very busy,"

"Even though the Demon Clan's marvels are that far away, huh?

"Yeah."

Ray, who is at the end of his anti-lost arm, looks around with a small smile.

"To them, the dispute with the Demons is still other personnel. Whether the territory on the human side is a third, that marvel has not yet reached this point. Even though the evacuees are pushing in the town, which went five days from here, they still think that the people who live here 'have nothing to do with themselves'. It's silly, but most of them are. Even the heavy towns of this country finally performed a goddess summons when the territory became a third. We magicians have been talking for a long time..."

"Other HR..."

"Well, that's why I don't have to bother telling them about the danger. If you don't feel surprised, that's fine. Peace, mediocrity, peace. That's fine with them. That's why we're here."

"... do you risk your life for people who don't know your face or your name?

"No, I'm not. Risk your life for those who want to protect you. I told you before, didn't I?

"Yeah, but Ray's title doesn't protect them alone."

Being a "superior magician," he has to fight for people he doesn't even know because of his title.

"I wish I'd quit..."

"... right. Will you quit after the next battle?"

"That's boring."

"Oh, not at all. I'm glad to hear it."

"Huh?"

"At first, I went for a magician just for me. I wanted the world I was seeing to... recognize the Spirit, so I went for the highest rank of magician. Well, even if it did, they were never admitted. I've been going on because there's no reason to quit ever since, but now that the battle that would be the last is approaching, I can tell. I think I have only a few, if any, loved ones in this country. Tonic and sister are important, naturally, but there were others who wanted to protect them. What a pleasure. So until this battle is over I will continue to carry my present title. To protect those who want to protect them. Well, it doesn't matter if the people who don't even know their names help them."

A head that is stroked with the opposite hand from the arm combined with words that are soft and spinning.

Pale eyes and silver hair with gentle colors peeking from the robe worn just like mine.

Ah...

"Sounds like the moon."

"What?"

"Master Ray is like the moon."

……

"Softly wrapped, it feels like you're watching me softly. After that, the color of your hair, too, moonlight?

I'm blocked in the mouth with my hand I was stroking my head.

Ray's face was bright red when he looked up.

"Hey, huh? Master Ray? What's the matter?

"Nothing. Don't look at me."

If you peel off the hand that was blocking your mouth, you can turn away.

I thought you said something that might bother you.

No, but that blush seemed more illuminating than angry...

The silent time lasted for a while, and Ray's face, who finally turned to me, was as usual.

If I had tilted my neck wondering what the hell it really was, the arms I put together would have been gently pulled.

"Let's go."

"Oh, yeah."

Soon my legs seemed to have stopped, and a little further away, Mr. Tonic, Mr. Emu, and three Arf are waiting for me.

Well, if he didn't say anything, it wouldn't be a big deal, and me and Lady Ray walked out.
