― ― The monster invited me to join Fontarpune's boundaries as a party member of "Last Brave" and a best friend of the future of the brave.I can't believe we met in this way.

I stared at the face for a few seconds in surprise.

(And we have to treat it anyway!

Return to me quickly and remove the healing medicine from the pouch.And I put a container in the teenager's mouth.

The young man's eyebrows glittered.Have you regained consciousness?

"Uhh..."

I poured the healing medicine gently into my slightly open mouth.That way his throat will go up and down a lot.

My eyelids slowly opened.And then appeared, as “I" remembered, beautiful green eyes.I peered into the unfocused eyes and asked.

"Are you okay...?

"Where is this...?

"It's in the woods near Flaria.You're being chased by a monster..... "

You gradually understand the situation in which you are now in my words, or the light comes into your lying eyes.And the young man uttered the word.

"Ah, brave man!

Huh?

Did you say brave?

The young man wakes up in front of me with his eyes round.However, at that time, I raised my voice and held my head as if it had caused anemia.

I hurriedly put my hand on his back and put him to bed again.

"Hey, are you okay?

"Malta"

Malta walks in with her daggers - Lou and Tar-kun, for sure.It seemed that the monster chasing the young man was completely burned.I don't know much about the prototype either.After stabbing her with a dagger, she probably baked it magically just in case.

Malta murmured as she looked around.

"The monster has been destroyed, but I wonder if the loose boundaries are back.Maybe you should ask Avel. "

That's right.

Yes, what bothers me is the boundaries that have been erected here.Inviting young people and even allowing monsters to enter meant that the boundary was temporarily relaxed.After inviting the wounded in, the natural loose boundaries will return to normal - but what is happening in the present situation?Honestly, I'm worried.

I agree with Malta's words.Just one thing, I'm worried about going back to Flaria now.Maybe there are more monsters out there.

"Is it okay to just get out of the line right now?

"Hmm... you know, there were a lot of monsters around you that were attacked?Does the city get attacked by monsters?

Malta crouches down and peeks into the young man's face.Still lying still, he shook his head loosely in that position.

"No, they were after me earlier, and I don't think there were any other monsters."

The tone is getting clearer and clearer.When I saw it, I was relieved that it probably wasn't infected with strong poison or paralysis.

But carelessness is forbidden.The healing medicine prescribed just now is only a first aid, and you must ask for more symptoms and take the right medicine for those symptoms.

Now that we know there are no monsters out there, we'd like to go to the Flaria branch as soon as possible.

"Then maybe you should go back to the city once.I haven't been able to treat it properly yet. "

As he nodded at my words, Malta stared at the young man's face from above.Then, he observes his face from a variety of angles.

I wonder what happened to the confused young man.A few seconds later, Malta's murmur dispelled my doubts.

"... the monsters don't turn into monsters, do they?

Apparently, this young man suspects that the Demon King sent him to break the border.As for me, knowing "last brave" is likely to make me trust it unconditionally, but it is also possible in case.Until then, you might want to be on your guard.

Malta reached out to the young man's cheek and pinched him.Is it to see if it is decayed or not?

"There he is! Jesus Christ!

"Ah! That's your attitude toward saving lives!?

He was a young man who blamed Malta aggressively, but when he stroked the word with the savior of his life, he grew up.If you say so, you won't be able to say anything.

He apologized honestly while taking Malta's hand off his cheek.

"I'm sorry.Thank you so much. "

Thank you very much.

Apologizing, Malta seemed to have forgiven without any particular concern.

I feel nostalgic when I see two people talking lively like this.These two were a big part of the brave party.It's not once or twice that I've gotten tired of talking to them with a good tempo.

I can't believe I met the "Last Brave" hero twice in Flaria.Though I felt the bias of the event, I was overwhelmed by the expectation that the strength of the brave team would increase.



Then me, Malta, and my wounded best friend Charlie came back to the inn to calm down for now.As soon as you enter the room, Malta speaks up.

"Avour, aren't the boundaries of Fontarpune loose?Are you okay? "

"What happened?"

A red ball of light that appears from nowhere.I found a young man breathing next door.

"It seems that the Spirit invited this person who was attacked by a monster, and then the monster came in together.I don't think the Demon King knows where he is because he defeated the monster, but I want to make sure the boundary is properly stretched. "

Avour murmured 'I see' to Maltese words.And just in case, it is suggested to check.And Malta nodded without hesitation and tried to get out of the room where she had just entered.

"Well, then, I'll go check it out with Avour.Laura, say hello to him. "

Ah, yes.

Leave that word and the door will close.I left the young man alone in no time.

Glitter and look up at the youth.Then the green eyes closed my eyes.But soon.

I'm distracted.

--I wonder, it's awkward.

"Well, for now, let's go to the Fralia branch to get the antidote."

Love laughs and calls out to young people.Then he put his hand on the door knob of the door to leave the room without asking for an answer - he was summoned from behind.

"Before that! My name is Julius Houeling.Thank you so much for saving me. "

Looking back, the young man, Julius Howelling, lowered his head towards us.

Julius, a chest-haired young man who became a protagonist friend at Last Brave and finally recognized as his only best friend.While using fists and legs to overwhelm monsters with quick movements, I was good at healing magic and was well helped.Yeah, well, he's good at healing magic for a reason.

No, now is not the time to think about your previous life.I think I'm close to running out of MP when I see that I haven't recovered myself, and I have to go to the Flaria branch to get the healing medicine anyway.

"My name is Laura Ampere.I'm a blender. I just prescribe a healing medicine, so thank you to Malta... to her earlier. "

Say hello and you two head to the Fralia branch.Julius told me that it was not a long distance and that it would still not be good, so there was no conversation between us until we got to the branch.

I have a lot to ask you.Why are you here now?I thought you were looking for a hero, but what can I do for you?Is the village safe?

"... who's that guy?"

It was Arnold, who slightly rounded his eyes, who welcomed us into the mixing room at the Fralia branch.Is Iris taking a lunch break?

I'll introduce Julius to Arnold, who's staring at us with his confused eyes.

"I protected it in the forest of Flaria.I'm Julius Howelling, a traveler.Fontarpune or other spirits invited him into the realm. "

"Thank you....."

Julius looks at Arnold, but interprets lightly.Arnold looked down at Julius and asked him if he had approached him with a big crotch.

"Did the monster attack you?"

Um, yes.

"The numbness of my hands and feet."

"Just a little."

Afterwards, Arnold took a healing pill off the shelf and pressed it against Julius, asking questions about the symptoms several times and understanding the approximate situation.And he appeals with his eyes only to "drink" without words.

In response to being too unfriendly, Julius started taking the healing pills he was given without saying anything, because he could not say more strongly than he was on the side being treated.Arnold came looking at us next to him, so I grabbed his arm and brought him to the corner of the room, thinking it was rude.

I have to report the status quo.

"Julius seems to have been attacked by a monster. To help him, Fontarphne-sama invited him into the realm, and at the same time the monster came into the realm.I don't think the Demon King knows where it is because Malta has been exterminated, but it may happen. "

When Julius told him in a small voice, Arnold sighed and put his arms together.Deep wrinkles are engraved between the eyebrows.

Honestly, it's not a very good situation right now.

"It's been quite a few days since Lukash and the others left.We have to strengthen our forces and wait for them to return. "

"That's right. That's all we can do..."

"- Hey, did I just say Lukash?

"Heh!?

I suddenly heard a voice from behind and jumped up a little in surprise.Looking back, Julius apologized and asked us.

"Lukash is the name of the brave, isn't it?You guys know the brave ones?

"I think I know you....."

He didn't hear the details, but he heard the name Lukash.Nevertheless, I don't know how to answer Julius' question, and I look up to Arnold to ask for help.

He opened his mouth with an unfamiliar face without upsetting him.

"Greetings were delayed.It's Arnold, the cook. "

"Arnold... black hair... ah!You're a black-haired sorcerer!

Julius's face became brighter.The rumored black-haired sorcerer.Although it was fairly well understood, Arnold seems to be quite famous for his abilities.

Wherever the previous vigilance against Arnold went, Julius took Arnold's right hand with a smile of\ 28290;.Then he said hello forcefully.

"Oh, good luck.I can't believe I'm meeting a brave fellow here.Does that mean the brave are here now?

"There is no reason to answer the questions of others in red."

Arnold shook Julius's hand in disdain.It's been a while since I've seen Arnold's harsh attitude toward others.I thought it had become rounded, but it was only about the ratio of the person in the past, and Arnold is still a generally disliked person.

With Arnold's strong rejection, Julius tones down a little.I lowered my eyebrow buttocks and asked again.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry.I'm getting a little excited... hey, does it feel like it's my fault that the situation isn't so good?

…………

Arnold doesn't answer. Actually, yes, but I couldn't easily nod against Julius, who didn't know about the spirits.If you nod, you have to explain the situation.

Julius said to both of us with a serious look.

"Don't be alarmed.I want to help.... no, I want revenge on the Devil. "

"... revenge?

An unexpected word popped out of Julius's mouth and I leaned my neck unexpectedly.

Julius of "Last Brave" had nothing to do with words such as "vengeance".A royal best friend character who is always bright and excites party members with Malta, and worries with the hero when he is troubled.When I was kidding, I was serious in a serial setting, and the gap was attractive again.

(He joins the journey because the brave men helped his home village be attacked by monsters.....)

Yes, when a brave man visited his home village, he was in the middle of being attacked by a monster.Thanks to the help of the brave men, he will join the brave men.

--Because I knew the flow, I was a little concerned about what was going on in his home village.But Julius from the "Last Brave" is a very common village in Austria.If that's the case in this world, I thought Captain Wake and new magician Flor were strengthening the village's boundaries.

Julius leaned. But it took only a few seconds for him to fall down, and he immediately raised his face.--At that time, there was definite “hatred” in the green eyes.

"I want to take the enemy of my homeland destroyed by the monster."

- Oh, no.

It stops breathing. My fingertips tremble.I held my fist tightly.

In a series of unexpected developments, my head was just confused.
