I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist

After the training I was visiting the training grounds of the Knights of Chevalia. To ask about the woods near the King's Capital, which I plan to head to tomorrow.

It's supposed to be the Knights who know the best about the current situation - and I hope they came bravely, but on closer thought, there are only two face acquaintances in the Knights. One would currently be in the Flaglia garrison, Mr Oliver, deputy commander. And the other, he'll be going around the place, Captain Veik. - I mean, I don't know any of you in this right now.

To the first person I met, it was hesitant to speak to someone who would also be in training, I approached and spoke softly to a member of the group who seemed to have no choice but to take a break.

"Um, excuse me. I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the woods near Wangdu..."

"Mr. Laura?

They call me by my name and I give you my face all the time. Coincidentally, it seemed like the one I spoke to - was the new magician Flor, who was supposed to be traveling around with Vake right now.

I feel relieved to lose my shoulder strength to reunite with an unexpected facial acquaintance.

"Ah! Good evening, Mr. Flor. You were going home."

"Yes. I haven't been able to get around everything yet, so it's like a break or something."

That's what I said and laughed at. Flor's expression is much more serene than he is in “me” memory. But I guess that's natural. “I” know Flor because he is the one whose body is being taken over by the Demon King.

Nevertheless, the fact that there is a Flor that I didn't think was in the King's Capital after all, could be...

"Oh, isn't that the lady!

The voice I was hoping for rocked my eardrum and I look back in momentum. There stood a formidable man - Veik, the chief of the Chevalier Knights.

"Mr. Vake! We're out of time."

"Oliver told me. You look better than anything."

I was well looked after by both Vake and Mr. Oliver, including the Fralia case. I bow my head in haste, however, as we were busy with each other and naturally would not have had a chance to thank each other if we hadn't had a chance to face each other.

"Really a lot, thanks for your help"

Vake didn't say anything just to shut up and nod with a smile. I think it's an adult man, full of inclusiveness to make.

"So, what are you doing in such a nasty place?

I opened my mouth reflexively to the question thrown at me, but I recall.

The forest I am about to ask about is where it is strongly linked to the raid on the Demonic King's Capital, which caused Vake to lose his right eye. Asking him about the woods was somewhat hesitant.

"Uh..."

"What's up?

You were worried, Vake's right eye peeking this way is wrapped around his eyelids.

Would it be an insult to him in itself to think of this to Vake, the Knight Commander? He himself, in "Last Brave," spoke of wounds as if they were an injury to honor.

Breathe small and deep. And I made up my mind, to be as natural a tone as I could be - it's never more natural than I think it is - but I asked.

"Actually, he plans to visit those who live in the woods near Wangdu tomorrow, and those who live in the woods will guide him, but he wants to keep an idea of what's going on. Do you know what the Forest Demons look like these days?

Vake didn't respond particularly well to my query, but he answered even smoothly.

"I've been reinforcing my sights since the raid, but few demons show up now. I put guard soldiers on the entrance for once, but armed adventurers don't stop me in particular.... Wasn't it?

Wake looked at Flor to make sure. Then he smiles and nods.

I guess trust would still bud if we acted together for a long time, it was an instant exchange, but I felt the comforting air flowing between Vake and Flor.

"Lady on the boulder will stop it alone, but I don't think you can stop it if you have a man hand with you. Sometimes the king's capital was close, and the demons weren't that close. It was a forest, and it was just different then."

"Really...... thank you"

Iris says that the two brothers - the silver-haired young man and the blonde young man who stood to the left and right when he met with his master, Mr. Leenhardt - are coming to pick him up. He said he lived in the woods all the time, and as a matter of course he makes poison for his protection, does he have to be that vigilant?

"Do you want to escort me from home?

"No! You can't take care of me that much!

If he shook his head hastily at the sudden suggestion, Vake wrinkled at the root of his brow in disgust. He seems a lot worried about me. I'm very grateful and glad about that in and of itself, but let's just decide to disperse before I worry any more.

"Thank you," he said, bowing his head wide and leaving the Vakes for a few steps.

"You'll be busy, so rest easy.... Take care, Flor."

Vake was somewhere dissatisfied and Flor nodded with a gentle smile. - Will that gentle smile fall into the hands of the Demon King in a few years?

After the resurrection of the Demon King, it is not known where and with what hand the Demon King took over Frol's body. I just don't know, I can't take care of anything.

On his way home, he glances back at his back. There were no more of them there.

- The next day, led by Iris, we were waiting to be picked up in front of the castle gate of the king's capital.

Apologies and thanksgiving confectionery folds for the sudden visit, as well as restorative and poisonous drugs for what if ever. Iris doesn't need that. Okay, Kerakera was laughing, but seeing her junior father and brother - maybe not exactly, but it would be like family - is quite nervous.

"Oh, here we go! Leon! Sieg!

Raising my gaze to be invited by Iris' voice, as I imagined last night, a silver-haired youth and a blonde youth were about to walk over here side by side. The outfits were very similar, and they had the appearance of being consciously made to contrast, from coloring to facial appearance, once again.

How much silver-eyed youth and fish-eyed blonde youth. A silver-haired young man with a gentle grin and a blonde with a wrinkled and rugged expression between his eyebrows. Silver-haired youth in white based clothing and blonde youth in black based clothing. I got the impression that it wasn't even the opposite, but it was designed so that the elements wouldn't wear it.

The blonde brutally stroked his head as he walked to Iris. Iris, shaking his head all over the place, said, "What!?" He shouts out his voice and waves away his hand.

"Damn, we're in too much of a hurry, Temehe."

"Yep! I can't wait to call the Laura's!

"You said you made it yesterday. Not today!

The blonde young man - indeed, it was Leon - and Iris say he has to be is like a real sibling. I don't know much about Iris and his relationship, but I'm sure he's close.

But suddenly, when Mr. Basilio and I had nothing to do with the exchange that took place in front of us, the silver-haired youth - indeed, was Zeke - cautioned the two with a slight wrinkle between their eyebrows.

"Hey, Mr. Laura and the others will be surprised.... sorry for the noise."

"Yes, no, thank you for taking the time to pick me up"

"This is why you say you can't do it, so it's only natural."

That said Mr. Sieg loosened his mouth. Then tighten the amber eyes to the shape of the three moons. And

"My master wanted to talk to you slowly for once, so he's twitching by now."

I said it in a mild tone to sing.

A red-haired man floating in the back of his brain - Mr. Leanhardt. I'm honestly interested in him, the master of the genius girl Iris. Probably a good cook.

And most importantly, the "amber” eyes that Iris and the others have in common. Eyes the same color as "Last Brave" heroine.

It's just a coincidence, and nothing may matter. But maybe we can get from them to heroin.

As a conditioner and as a single person named Laura Ampere, I wonder if I could grab something on a day called today - I took a step with a soothing feeling of restlessness.
