I've been banished from the brave party, and I'm glad to see that you've left the nest from me. I won't be able to help you in the future even if you ask me to, but I'm sure you'll be fine. I can't have you coming after me, Grand Saints.

Lakkarai Perspective

I was in a run-down state.

Both mentally and physically, you're being pushed to the limit, and you're unexpectedly crying.

There are a lot of scratches on my hands and feet, and my hair and face are covered in mud. The hand with the spear is trembling. Her breath is also rising.

But that's all I need. Because...

"Hey, I'm going that way."

Where the hell are you hiding?

"Hehe, you stupid kid, you just stepped right into our Ajito cave! As soon as they see you, I'll be thankful for your life and that fine spear!

(Hyi......!

I trembled. There is an imminent premonition of death before our eyes.

A horrible bandit was after my life and St. Spear Brunak.

Thirty... no, there might be more.

I'm in the middle of a mountain hunt to catch a prey called me. My life was just a headlight.

"Uuuu... ugh..."

That's why I suddenly start to cry. My body hurts and my heart is breaking. Without knowing it, my throat leaks.

How did this happen?

I was told I had too little talent and banished from the brave party.

But it's only natural.

I really didn't have the talent to handle spears.

I still don't know why the Holy Spear chose me to be in charge...

So I had no choice but to say that I was too reckless a challenge to escape the plight of these bandits.

In the first place, I got lost without knowing which mountain this mountain is and the natural direction of sound, so I couldn't see the way back.

"Where are you! Boozy! Stop messing around in the unfamiliar mountains and get out of here! That'll make it easier. Gyahahaha"

The lowly laughter of the bandits echoes.

But I have no choice but to bite my lips and admit the truth in the words. I'm not used to mountains.

No, I never held a spear... or a weapon until I was chosen as the spear's user.

If I were flat, I wouldn't have been able to shake my weapon in an irregular terrain like a mountain.

Besides, this is their territory. They must have some idea where I am.

I had no chance of being saved.

"But I...."

... no.

"But I won't (...) be silenced..."

I swallow my teeth to suppress fear and hold the spear in my chest.

The famous Bumon Kelburg clan as a family of spear fame. It was a pleasure to see the spear of the Holy Spirit from the family.

But I was a woman. My youngest daughter, of course, never held a spear.

That's why the master of Kelburg... my father started treating me like a boy from that day on.

I shortened my black hair, which was said to be long and silky, and made my speech look like a boy. The dress that was usually worn became a simple armor.

But I didn't hate that in itself. Because I, my last daughter, can take charge of the pride of the family.

One thing I'm sorry about...

I close my eyes and breathe.

(No one saw me as a woman with shorter hair)

That was a bit unfortunate.

It's not that I don't like being seen by men. That was necessary.

But I felt a little lonely about the fact that no one would see me when I cut my hair.

(What if I could meet someone who would look at me...?

What will I do?

Would you be happy? Would you like to thank me? Or can I be a good friend? Do you want anyone to touch your hair that you've never let anyone touch?

While I was thinking about it, the phase of total extinction was imminent.

"Is this the only one left?"

"Come on, get out of here, so you don't have to feel any pain at all ~"

Jahahahahahahahahaha

It's only a few meters away.

Shortly before, the rough voices of the violent bandits shouted.

At the very least, reward him with a shot. To defile the last seat of the Bumon Kelburg clan.

But, at best, that's it.

My spear's arm is no big deal. After all, I was about to become an apprentice and be banished from the brave party sooner or later.

Lorelei used valuable healing magic when she left the heroic party, but it's going to go to waste soon.

Ko... ko... huh ~?

"Haah!

I poke my spear aggressively at one of the bandits who approached by accident.

"Goddamn it, he fought back!"

"Hahahahahaha! You're eating me!

"Shut up! Damn it, I won't forgive you! I'll kill you after I hurt you."

"Kh...!

Not at all! The customer's shoulder was slightly damaged and the customer felt tingling.

"All of you, surround yourself! So slash them all together! Don't hurt your grip!

"Wow!

Besides, bandits who were hanging out there narrowed the siege net.

(I'm still used to it....!

"That's right!

Ahhhh...

Gaggin! and I play with my spear several swords slashed from behind. However, I could not play the sword from the front or side, and was at least struck shallowly to avoid fatal wounds. Still, the blood was scattered, and it bled from my stomach and arms.

"Kh... or... my body..."

Why? The wound was supposed to be shallow, but my body couldn't move well.

"Oops, it's already working. Immediate paralytic toxicity. What do you mean, you can't even move anymore, and you feel like dying? Hahahaha!

"* giggle *... So far...?

Am I destined to be tortured and killed by a burglar in a mountain I don't know?

She was said to be a spear user, but the fact is that she is just a little girl with no talent.

It may have been natural for this to happen.

I slowly closed my moving eyes with such a sense of abandonment.

Behind my eyelids was a picture of my mother stroking my long black hair in the wind by the window of the mansion.

But...

It was then.

Doo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

If you open your eyes to such a shock,

"" "Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" ""

Exactly... I saw a few bandits trying to wave their swords at me.

What, what happened?

And...

"Why am I alive?

Tilt your neck.

And to such words,

Are you okay? But why is there a girl here?

From behind, a man answered.

A girl?

He saw me with a stunned expression.

"Oops, you surprised me. I'm Ariake. Ariake Mihama. Who are you? And why are you here? Oh, no, can you stand above that?

The man... Ariake took my hand and made me stand up.

I wonder why.

The fingertips seemed to have a bad fever.

"Are you okay? Shut up... does it hurt bad somewhere?

"No!

I wonder why. I'm asexually glad to be working. I wasn't supposed to make people worry and be happy...

I wonder why. I felt asexual about not having that long hair in the past.

So what's your name? Why are you alone here?

"La, it's La Carai. I got lost....."

I see. Lakkarai. Well, I'll ask you about it later. I have to cut through this place now. "

That's how I took my wand out of my cape.

I wonder why.

When this person calls me by my name, my heart sounds terribly high.

What the hell is this?

While desperately hiding such a strange feeling,

"Yes, Mr. Ariake!

That is how I replied.
