(Did I... lose?)

Alessio already knew when he woke up.

The fighter won the battle against the demon, and the world moved towards peace.

It proved to Alessio that the world did not need the power of a brave man.

(What am I supposed to do now?)

For him, who was born and raised as a brave man and fought as a brave man, it was also a denial of his existence.

May I die here like this?

If you don't move like this, the monster will eat you to death.

Otherwise, he will starve to death.

If I were going to die anyway, I'd want to fight the demon king and die, but that won't happen anymore.The Demon King who was collecting the Demon King army was about to get in the way, so he was defeated first.

Neither the fig joe with the power of the Demon King nor Miri, the rebirth of the Families, will kill him.

(Then, if you can be eaten by the next monster....)

And Alessio thought,

Wow.

With warm saliva dripping over him, Alessio woke up unexpectedly.

Even if I wanted to be eaten, I didn't like being salivated.

Huh?

It wasn't a fierce monster that was there.

The salivating lord was a lazy slowdunky, and two pairs of red-haired men and blue-haired women were with him.

I know Slow Donkey.

The Holy Beast that sealed Métias and brought her doll, Milemia, to Alessio.

But I don't recognize the two adventurers....

(Is that it? I think I saw these two somewhere....)

I didn't think so, but I feel like I've seen it before somewhere.

He thought desperately and remembered.

Like a boy and a girl who used to be guided around the world in some town to save people suffering from the Demon King.

That was more than ten years ago, so it's not strange to grow up to this point now.

It is likely that it is the person in question, but I don't remember the name, and I don't remember where I met him, so I can't confirm it.

"You're awake, brother!I'm Joffrey. What's your brother's name? "

"Nice to meet you, oniisan. My name is Elise.What's your brother's name? "

Doesn't knowing who you are mean you know the figs?

"I...."

Alessio tried to name it.

It's Theo.

and used a common pseudonym

I didn't want anyone to know I was a brave man.

I didn't want the brave man to know that he had lost.

"Really, Theo? It's a simple name!"

"Yeah, it's a simple izzavest!"

"Well then, let's go home!I'm hungry.I just want to put some intestines in the mornings service. "

"Yeah, go home! Ah, if we don't hurry up, the mornings service in the cafeteria will be over!"

"What! That's important!We have to hurry back. "

Joffrey realized that.

Alexio won't stand up.

"Theo, what's going on?Does your stomach hurt? "

"Oh, my God, when you have a stomach ache, you should put plum dried on your temples."

I've heard from Daijiro, but isn't that the cure for a headache?Alessio thought.

In addition, plum raisins are not available in the western continent.

"No, my stomach doesn't hurt. I'm just tired.Fighting monsters. "

So let me die - I tried to say that, but when I heard it, Joffrey and Elise somehow smiled and told Alessio.

"What, just like us!We've been fighting a lot of monsters before!Thousands were cut with swords. I'm tired. "

"Yeah, I've fought a lot of monsters too!I'm tired because I punished a thousand with a whip! "

It doesn't seem so strong, but it is true that it came to the bottom of the monster-ridden labyrinth.

Alessio thought maybe these two had abilities they didn't know.

"Well, are you adventurers?Then I'd like to ask you something.An adventurer fought for the world.But people all over the world stopped thanking their adventurers as soon as the world became peaceful.What if you were the adventurer? "

Joffrey and Elise thought without wonder about the unexpected question.

Joffrey and Elise opened their item bags on their own, and only the chewing sound of Centaurs eating the vegetables inside was heard in the room.

And Joffrey and Elise give answers.

"I miss no one thanking me."

"I miss no one thanking me."

Alessio thought so.

Nothing is so painful that no one understands what they do.

People are admired by someone and get a sense of accomplishment for the first time.

That's the same for the brave.

However, Joffrey and Elise overturned the idea more easily.

"Because if I do my best, Ellis is always watching.Did the adventurer have any friends to admit to? "

"Because if I work hard, Joffrey always sees me.Does the adventurer have any friends who would be happy with each other? "

That's what Alessio remembers.

No matter what I did or what I did, I knew that there were people on my side who were watching me.

But right now...

"For the adventurer now....."

No one - trying to say that,

"The adventurer has stupid companions who can't abandon the adventurer and follow him to the bottom of hell.Hey, um, was that a theo? "

The hug suddenly appeared in front of me and I couldn't say anything.

Alessio stands up with a hug on his shoulder.

You've kept me waiting. Damn it, I'm flashy. "

"No, I just wanted to see you.It was each other. "

And Alessio says.

"Are you all right now, Theo?If you like, I'll take you to town. "

"Morning service will be served, too, won't it?"

"You guys, the town's in a state of emergency, so there's no morning-service."

Hug told me that he was stunned.

The town continues to have a rationing system, and most of the canteens are closed.

Joffrey and Elise thought the store was already open because the monster incident had been solved, but just because the incident had been solved, the store didn't open immediately.

"Really... why don't you bake some meat?"

It's the meat of a dragon.There are so many of them. "

The hug was amazed at the meat of the dragon.

I wonder if these two have hunted a large number of dragons that they don't want to deal with even in the rare event of an amazing adventurer.Then I can be convinced that I've reached the bottom of a labyrinth full of monsters.

Actually, I only got the meat from the figs.

"The world doesn't know. Come on, let's go, Theo."

That's what Hug said and took out the transfer tag.

"Oh, yes, it was Joffrey and Elise.We're staying for a while in the famous town of Kussa, a hot spring in the North Continent, if you want an adventure.You guys are welcome. "

"I see! Ah! Please do it then!"

"Journeys are pathetic!"

What kind of proverb is that for two words?I thought, when Alessio noticed, he was at the observatory near King's Landing.

"So, what do we do now?Are you really going on a hot spring trip with me?How can a brave man travel to Yuji? "

"No, Hug. Now that I've lost the Demon King, I'm quitting calling myself a brave man. That's right."

Alessio looked down at the king's capital, which was illuminated by the morning sun.

"I think I'll relax as an unemployed person for a while.That way, the world might look a little different. "

Hearing that, the hug laughed small.

"I wonder if the world was so peaceful when brave men were unemployed."
