65. Your Match (9) - Friendship between Ariake the Wise and Vivian the Brave

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Prara's scream echoed in the colloquium.

At the same time, there's a sound of something coming out of Prara... well, I don't need to tell you any more about flowers.

Regardless, there was a scenario that should be rejected, such as the concept of human dignity being broken in front of us.

The screaming of the audience is also a relief.

"Ahhh, it can't be helped anymore. Calm down, calm down ~"

Alicia uses healing magic when she looks stunned. The wounds of the worn-out brave party healed.

"Ugh... oh... what are we...? Ugh, ugh, shit...."

But it doesn't seem to be a perfect cure. It's only natural that we're in the middle of a match. The fact that your consciousness is at a certain level, but you can't move.

They can hear us and see us, but they don't seem to be able to speak satisfactorily.

So this voice of the masses (...) is also in your ears?

"Whoa, it was all terrible... Especially what was the last one? Are you sure you're breaking up in the game?

"Isn't that totally worse than a monster? I've seen monsters, but monsters don't break up.

"I can't believe the following monsters are the Kingdom-nominated braves and their allies...."

Speak of disgust and contempt deliberately.

Eventually,

"What the hell is the king going to do?

"Are you okay in this country?

"Instead of defeating the Demon King, don't you want to destroy him from within? I can't believe you're such an incompetent kingdom."

Beyond this level of bravery, doubts about the country grow.

The brave men's battle must have been terrible, ugly, and traumatic to people's hearts.

In just one day, I destroyed the good sense of the trusted kingdom.

Any capable enemy spy can't do this kind of work. Even with me, it was a terrifying effect that only made me roar.

Criticism of the kingdom, which in some cases is a crime punishable by severe punishment, has now led to the loss of the kingdom's authority so that it can be forgotten.

"Ggigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigi..."

Based on the honest feelings of the masses, the brave man stood up with regret and scratched his teeth.

But a brave man who can only keep consciousness can't even contest them.

(But as it stands, the authority of the kingdom is lost. Because the match in front of you, a symbol of authority by the brave, has become an ugly circus... Do you have to get it back somehow?

When I saw the royal audience, I saw the king making the traffic.

Enhance your hearing with a little skill.

(Bad, I can't face the nobles who have just lost the support of the people and have come all the way to watch today's battle....!

(Er, what is Walder doing? Where did he go?)

(... no, if you think about it, you don't need such a brave party in this country...)

(The people seek true heroes. Besides, the King responds....)

I thought you said something you didn't understand, from the audience seat,

"This battle was amazing! That's a true hero.

That's how I said it in a voice that people often hear.

What are you talking about?

I bend my neck purely.

Vivian the brave was the same, crawling on the ground, looking up at the king's seat with his neck, his face pale and his mouth slapped.

It's only natural that Vivian is a brave man.

And then all of a sudden they told me I was a true brave man, so I couldn't be surprised.

But even if I protest, Vivian can't speak right now.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..."

And I'm just moaning with resentment like I did in the game before you.

But the king again shouted,

"Well done on defeating the fake brave! That is the true heroic party that our country has recognized!

I told him to declare it so.

Naturally, the masses are surprised.

It was declared by the king that he was a fake brave man who had always thought he was a brave man....

In addition, I was banished from the brave party because I was clearly declared the true hero of the world, Ariake Mihama.

"Eh? Ariake is a real hero."

"Isn't Vivia-sama a brave man?

"Ah, ahh... I bet you did....!

On purpose, the masses groan. Sometimes it would be easier to accept a situation where a brave man is replaced.

A brave man is Vivian.

I thought so.

"... well, that battle is convincing!

"Wow, that's what real hero fights are about...!

"That was cool! True brave Ariake! Well done, you've defeated the fake brave!

Snap, snap, snap!

A round of applause came to the colloquium and poured into our true heroic party.

I don't want a title like that, but someday, this happened.

But on the other hand,

"Compared to that, I wasn't a brave man... The battle of the fake warrior Vivian is terrible."

"And his people!

"It was a fight inferior to that of the bastards. I can't believe I fought like that in front of the royals...."

"Besides, you were so weak! It's a shame I've been supporting them my whole life!

Die!

Goddamn trash scum!

Fake braves!

There is an unbearable scolding that can't be heard of.

"Ugigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigigi"

The brave man who was supposed to play a splendid role on the spectacular stage was now recognized as a presence to be spit on by the masses, and even the title of the brave man was stripped away, just like a deserter.

Besides, the brave man lost half his hair in that battle, naked and covered in geese.

It's only natural that the public should let go of him, but he looks just like a pervert.

But I...

"Oh, my God."

Yes, I shook my head with a bitter smile.

And he talked to the royal family and the masses. Everyone listens to me in peace and quiet.

"It's only natural that I'm superior. I also know that the country will depend on me. But I want you to listen."

That's what I said, and then I smiled pitifully at the fake brave man who crawled on the ground.

"It's only natural that a fake brave man can't beat me as a master! Even if you try to pick a 1000 year drill, you'll never be able to do it. He's not that good!

I first set out the facts.

But!

I'll keep going.

"The true hero is definitely this Vivian!

That's what I declared.

Hey, hey.

And he cried out unto them, and unto the people, and unto the king that had spoken publicly that he was a false brave man.

But I kept going.

"His movements today were not bad. He also showed me how to fight to the end of my life. It is also certain that fighting is not just about the right path. Even in the fierce battle against the Demon King army! Certainly there may be disqualification and poor character in the game before you. But under this wise man Ariake, I want you to forgive Vivian for being a brave man! I may be a fake brave man, but I want you to admit it to me as a brave man! It's Vivian the Fake Brave! Still, you're a fake, but keep encouraging me to recognize you as a true brave man! I'm here to cheer you up!"

That's what I said, inspiring Vivian in the center of the game before me, and at the same time pressing the King to withdraw the deprivation of the kingdom's named brave man.

Is the brave man impressed by my words? He looked up at me lying on the ground with his teeth stirred and his bloody tears pouring down.

"Ah, goooo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh."

A voice of gratitude is raised in a low voice.

The public didn't seem to accept my words right away either....

"You're a fake brave man, but you're a brave man...."

"Even with that garbage, if a true hero, Ariake, says, well, it can't be helped...."

I see. I'm Ariake's apprentice. Believe in Mr. Ariake and admit it. Good luck, fake brave man! Someday you'll catch up with your master and admit you're a brave man!

The voice gradually grows louder and eventually becomes a fake brave call.

It seems that the king can no longer reject my words in the voice of the masses.

"There's no way... Admit a fake warrior as a temporary warrior! However, order the liver to do so with the approval of Ariake!

Wow! The crowd boiled.

It seems that Brave Vivian has managed not to deprive himself of his status as the Kingdom-nominated brave man thanks to me.

It's because I asked for it, and because a wise man named me admits it... This will also be the role of those who stand up.

Hang in there, Vivian.

That's what I said and laughed about it.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!?"

Vivian also agrees with the words in the heart of the king and the masses with a moaning voice.

(Well, apparently, the brave man's position was protected. I was about to become a brave man just by taking it a little seriously)

I wiped out my cold sweat.

I did not intend to gain a troublesome position as a brave man.

Fortunately, Vivian seems to stick to his position as a brave man, and I don't depend on him, but I'll leave it to him.

Because I don't need a position even if you ask me.

Oops, so to speak.

I just think of it.

As a master, I thought it would be better to tell him this. It will also lead to Vivian growth in the future.

"I have one piece of advice. Looks like you banished Lakkarai for being incompetent. It seems you haven't reached the level to raise people yet. As usual, I'm still immature at seeing people. Of course you can brush your arms, but in parallel, you can better identify and nurture the talents of others. If you can raise people, you'll catch up with me a little bit. That's the homework I'm giving you!

The people who were listening to me,

"Yes, False Brave couldn't raise that Mecha strong Raccalais?"

Ariake-sama is stronger and has the talent to raise people.

"It seems Raqalai is stronger now than the fake brave who was my brother."

"If the false hero Vivian doesn't grow up, if he grows up to be a true hero, he will grow that much. After all, it's completely different from person to person."

That is how words intersected.

But, well, it's funny to defend this point.

Rather,

"Poor thing, but it's true. But I'm not depressed. Based on these regrettable experiences, people grow up."

That's what I'm talking about.

That's what I said and smiled at Vivian to grow up.

- Hero Vivian Perspective -

Cuz!

Garbage!

False brave man.

(Damn it! Garbage is a waste! I'm a brave man! They're different from ordinary people. They're chosen. Oops.)

I keep screaming in my heart. But I can only moan from my mouth.

"Poor thing, but it's true. But I'm not depressed. Based on these regrettable experiences, people grow."

(Ariake, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Only for fuck's sake! The only thing I can say is (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

Yu "Ru" sa "ah" ah "ah" ah "ah" ah "ah" ah "ah" ah "ah" ah "ah!

He interrupted the stage where I was supposed to be gorgeously active and branded the fake hero!

Besides, I can only be in that position because of the approval of Ariake.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

Scream, grudge. Screaming after grievances.

Your heart is covered in pure thoughts that you want to lose this world.

The mind is covered in darkness.

Of course not.

The world of the brave should perish without me! I'm not wrong about anything!

... at that time.

Vivian the Brave.

I heard Chancellor Waldark's voice coming from somewhere.

"Prime Minister!? Well, where did it come from...?"

It doesn't matter. Rather, you have a trump card, don't you?

Kiri... fu...?

Listen to the trump card......

This... eh...?

I'm naked.

But I only lowered one of my waist bags. Because I won't let go of Waldark's trump card.

Listen to the trump card.

I heard a voice.

Do you want power...?

"Ho, I want..."

I will answer immediately.

"Whatever you lose?

I'm thinking...

"Ariake, the people around and the royal family! Whatever it takes to kill a crowd!

I answered immediately without thinking about it.

"You deserve my vessel... Comfortable, black... the bearer of the soul... Let me... entrust you... to the chosen one..."

When the knot of the bag opens all by itself... a strange, meaningless object with strange eyeballs on the gripping green stone... that creates cheats and tentacles and crawls out.

And then...

Surri...... Gokuri......

In an instant, with the strange sound of swallowing my throat,

Gakri

My body burst into the ground as if it had suddenly cut its thread.

And....

"Vivian?... what happened to your body (...)?"

That voice came from under me (...).

Comfortable, absolute, and versatile.
