On the way to Platonovena, I stopped by a small town called Petania.
I arrived in town in the evening.Sometimes it was a wild boarding house, and today we decided to take a break at the inn in this town.
It's been a long time since I've been in bed, and I was at the front of the inn feeling excited.A strange boy called out.
"My friend who went to pick herbs in the cave won't be back for three days! Help me!"
I heard from boy Leo that his friend Nike went to the rumored cave three days ago alone when he was picking unusual herbs.However, I did not come back all the time and consulted with the adults, but now that the monsters are frenzied, they seem hesitant to send a search party out of town, and there is still no movement.When I was in trouble, a team of brave men appeared in a timely fashion - and so on.
(Something similar happened at the sub-event....)
Next to me, Lukash nodded loudly.
Apparently, he took on a request from Leo, the boy, and he was going to the cave.
After the boy left with a relieved face, Arnold asked in a harsh tone.
"Do you have time for that?"
Lukash shut up for a moment about Arnold's query.
--This world is different from games.If you do not complete this “Sub-event”, the boy's life may end, and if you take time for this “Sub-event”, there may be some major movement on the Devil's side.It's in the game that you wait for the hero to arrive.
A few seconds later, Lukash said with a strong tone of response.
"But I can't abandon you like this!"
Should I put it on a balance? One life and this world. "
"Why are you talking so much?!I just want to help someone in trouble right in front of me....! "
The clouds of the conversation became more and more suspicious, and I found Malta sighing next door.
I know how Lukash feels. I want to help you if I can.But Arnold's sober judgment also made sense.We must help the Spirit and obtain the Holy Sword as soon as possible.The future of this world depends.
"Hey, what are we gonna do if we break up?Lukash, you said you'd help, so you can leave now, right? Let's get some rest. "
Vake goes to arbitration. Lukash nodded as he stared at Arnold.
"All right, Arnold, you rest.You are the overwhelming number of night shifts.While you're resting, I'll do my best.Will you break it? "
Arnold sighed at Wake's compromise.Then he replied briefly, "Okay," and went up the front stairs to the room by himself.
The remaining companions looked at each other - one of them, Julius, raised his hand.
"I'll help you, but I agree with Arnold.The purpose of our journey is to defeat the Demon King, not to help those in need. "
"Cold guy."
"But isn't that right? I helped people all over the country and as a result I couldn't stop the Demon King ~ I fell.Well, I know how Lukash feels about wanting to help you, so of course I'll help you. "
Julius laughed and said he would help after clearly stating his opinion.Malta's cold side is Lukash, to say the least.
I travel for the same purpose, but I think naturally differently because I am a different person.It may have been a matter of time before such a conflict of opinion arose.
Heavy silence falls. Arnold glanced up the stairs.
"Anyway, let's gather some information.If we're going to the cave, we need to find out how far we're going. "
It's always Diona who calmly prompts me to do the next thing.I nodded at her words and decided to visit Leo, the boy I had asked for.
--Because of the small town, Leo Boy's house was quickly found.Talking to him again, he said that the reason why the boy Nike didn't come back to pick herbs in the first place was because of his sister Nana, who had been poisoned by the poison.
"Nana used to go to the cave to pick flowers.It's a local specialty that sells to merchants.Nike and Nana's house is missing their father, and Nike's mother... Aunt Nell is working on it alone.Nana said she could pick flowers for her mother, just like every day, by herself.... "
Leo boy occasionally tells me how things are going while clogging his words with tears.
"But lately, the monsters were stopped from going to the cave because they became violent.So the house became bitter, and Aunt Nell, who had increased her work, collapsed... and Nana sneaked to the cave to pick flowers for money to buy her medicine. "
My chest hurts. I can't believe that the resurrection of the Demon King has made the monster violent, and not only has people's lives been threatened by the monster, but it has had such an impact.I didn't have enough imagination.
"So Nana was bit by a monster.The poison... The town's cook said the antidote needs rare herbs grown in the cave! "
It seems that Nike, my brother, went to the cave alone.
Comforting the boy Leo, who spoke with tears, we decided to split up.The group that stays in town and looks after the poisoned girl Nana and the group that picks herbs.
The rest of the team in town, they're with me.
I'll take care of Laura's escort.
Julius's two.The remaining four, Lukash, Diona, Wake and Malta, leave town in a hurry as they gather herbs.
After we dropped them off, Julius and I visited Nike's house, the missing boy, under Leo's guidance.That way, a strange woman will welcome you.
She's not Nike and Nana's mother - she's Leo's mother, the boy who's been asking for help.
"This way, please."
Mother and daughter were lying in two beds lined up in the bedroom.While her mother is resting in peace, her daughter is sweating on her forehead and moaning bitterly.She seems obviously ill.
I rushed to my daughter Nana's pillow to see how she was doing.She also had a fever.
Pop out the necessary herbs in your brain.I always keep a single herb, so it is a first aid, but I think I can quickly prepare a healing and antidote.--But since Arnold and I have the medicinal herb separately, we need him to give it to us.
I asked Julius to see the two of them and hurried back to the inn - before that, I visited the town's blender's house.I wanted to talk to you about the medicinal herbs you need to detoxify.
Ring the doorbell.But there was no reply.
(I wanted to talk to you if I could, but... I'm not here.)
I checked the condition from outside, but there was no sign of anyone.There was no time to wait for my return here, so I went to the inn in haste.
When you arrive at the inn, you run up the front stairs and stand in front of the room where Arnold would rest.
For a moment, I hesitated to knock on the door.
(... it's a waste of time, not if you hesitate)
Never knock on the door.I was a few seconds late and replied "in."
Slowly open the door. Arnold sat on his bed and looked out the window.
Turning away from the door, I said briefly.
"Prescribe the antidote as a first aid to the poisoned girl.I came to get the ingredients for that. "
Arnold looks at us in slow motion.I stared back at the black eyes, wondering why they should not be diverted.
Eventually Arnold sighs small.And he stood up slowly.
"What house? I'm on my way."
With his bag in his hand, Arnold looks down at me.
--I knew you'd help me out.
I nodded loudly and hurried to the house where Nana, a girl suffering with Arnold, slept.
"Ah, I knew it."
When they returned, Julius looked stunned and said so.It's as if Arnold was sure he'd come with me.
Arnold stared at Julius with wrinkles between his eyebrows.
"Are you complaining?"
"No, I'd rather feel comfortable.I was just laughing because I thought you might just come. "
"I'm not gonna buy a fight."
"I'm not selling it either."
Arnold and Julius laughed nicely to prove that there was no hostility.After a few seconds of staring at him, Arnold sighed deeply and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"My selfish feelings made me feel bad."
"If you want to apologize, it's not me, it's Lukash.And I agreed with you. "
Steal and listen to Arnold's conversation with Julius as he dispenses the antidote.
"To be honest, I still don't think we need to help the kid face to face until we sacrifice our vacation.I can't say this out loud because I think you might question the ethics. "
I think Julius in this world has a calmer side than "Last Brave" because of the influence of the past of losing his hometown.Julius of "Last Brave" was also a person who could make a cool judgment when it came to trouble, but basically he was kind, and I remember that these help events were the first to call for the cooperation of his friends.
Arnold also blends and spills.
"Brave men should be equal.If you're going to help people all over the world, if you can't, you shouldn't reach out only to those you meet halfway through the process. "
Without stopping the blending, Arnold keeps pale.
"Otherwise, they blame me for being unfair.Reasonable hatred appears as to why they did not help us.... and it's nothing else to suffer from, isn't it, Lukash himself? "
I unexpectedly stopped cooking and saw Arnold.
There was nothing else he disagreed with this time - he was thinking of Lukash.
Arnold turned towards us.And then I returned to myself and resumed the concoction.
"I should have told Lukash himself that.Wouldn't you have had such a fight? "
Arnold cannot respond to Julius's straightforward words.The sound of mixing the poison with a glass stick while it was being prepared was heard in the room.
Why didn't Arnold honestly say so?Some of you may have learned the illumination from his personality to be honest, but more than that - he still cares about Lukash.
What you think you're doing may give rise to unexpected hatred.Arnold doesn't want Lukash to realize the possibility.Even if you realize it, no one will blame you for being child-friendly, but it will only hurt your heart.If you were angry at me for being unreasonable, we could be saved.
I'm sure you don't want the brave to despair of the world and the people you have to save.
"Nothing, I'm not going to hold a grudge against Lukash for not saving my home.Because brave men are not gods.Without God, we can't save everything. "
Julius spills a dry laugh.
"But people who don't know that don't know that."
Prescribe a formula of antidote to Nana and sweat her forehead.Just a little, I felt like the girl's breathing was getting deeper.
As he breathed, Arnold opened his mouth unexpectedly.
I'm sorry, Amber.
I look up at the sudden apology.That way, Arnold and I looked at each other with distorted faces that seemed painful.
--He was thinking about Lukash more than anyone at the time.I feel kind of happy when I think about it, and my chest feels warm and warm.
I think he's a kind person. And even more clumsy.
I shook my head small.
"No, thank you for thinking about Lukash..."
Smiling, Arnold relieved his slightly stiff expression.
