4. ~ The gossip. By then, the brave Vivians were ① ~

"Ha, boy, it's clean! Goddamn it, he left without saying anything seriously. Hey, guys!

"It really is!" "He's a little upset!

I, the brave Vivia, respond to the words of the boxer Delia and the wizard Prala.

Elgar, the big man who is the shield of the party, is quietly nagging.

"Alicia, you'd think so too ⁉"

I keep my silence and point water at Alicia, who has no reaction whatsoever.

Then,

"There's no point in a party without a brave man, is there?"

That's what I say and laugh at Nicole.

"Ooh. Right! Oh, as long as this brave Vivia is here, there's nothing wrong with this party!

Virgin Alicia affirms me too.

When I first heard it, I didn't know a bit what it meant, but in short, if I were there, it would be okay... i.e., I could have kicked Ariake out and it would have been clean.

That's what I think. I'll lower my drink.

We grew up in a cold village called Rittonde Village. We've known each other since we were little. I was the best of them. Leadership, sword skill, judgment, everything was excellent. And when I was chosen as a brave man and summoned to the castle, it was certain that my destiny would be gloriously colored.

"And yet, when you're Ariake, you're gonna give me an opinion! I don't have any unique skills, I'm just a clever poor cunt! I was just putting him in a party for the sake of childhood training!

Besides, I didn't like those glaring eyes. It certainly remained a mere coincidence that he would hit his mark. But I just happen to be lucky. And yet you make a face that just doesn't make sense!

"It's a hell of a thing to give Vivian an opinion! Lord Vivia is the lord of the party!

"Really! If it was true, you could have kicked him out with a stripper. Come on!

"Ha, you'd look pathetic if you just got there! I did it with pity!

"That's Vivian!

"Brave and awesome! That's lovely!"

You will, you will!

I'm satisfied with the ladies' compliments. The Virgin hasn't got any expression on her face, but, well, it's the usual. What a great saint.

But, oh, yeah. I am the brave one, the one who saves the world. I'm right. That's why Delia and Prala seem to fall in love with me, naturally, and even Alicia must be my woman sooner or later. I can see that you're saying "I deeply trust you about the brave man" just by not putting it on your face.

No, these aren't the only ones who should admit me.

I laugh inside out.

Sooner or later, the princess of this country will be mine. That way I'm the Lord of one country... the King!

Become kings and rule those who descend. And that glorious future is coming soon!

I completely forget about the unpleasant Ariake. Feelings restore calm and I am once again convinced that I am the best person in the world.

All right! And I'm in the mood, and I decide to head to the dungeon's offense as usual.

But I'm not alert to being wise.

"Today, after one member has fallen out. Let's just say we go to the 'Curse Cave' we used to attack to get used to our shoulders."

Sure, it's easy to attack there.

"It's a solid and appropriate decision."

"Instead, you might be able to attack smoothly with no more interrupters!

"Wahaha, for sure!

Laughing at Delia and Prala's words, we started getting ready to leave.

"Hmm? Alicia, what's going on?

When I realized, Alicia was looking out the window as if she hadn't heard our conversation or something.

The eyes felt like they were looking terribly far away.

It's like we're not here...

"No, it's nothing. I'm just running out."

Whoa, what are you thinking? I...

I shake my head sideways with a boom.

That's not true. I'm a brave man. I keep talking under the guise of calm.

"Not enough? Um, what's the item? Holy water or potion?

They should still have been in stock... Yeah, shit, you only know exactly what Ariake is. Damn, I'm gonna take care of you till this happens.

"No, it's more, it's always been important. My... ingredients..."

The Virgin said something. But I can't hear you very well.

"? ma, well. I don't know what item you're talking about, but thank you very much."

Honestly, I never even thought about a detailed item.

It is up to the other Members to think about that.

Besides, not much prying and damaging the Virgin's mood was a good idea. My authority as a brave man is recognised by the Holy Sword regardless, because there is a shield behind the kingdom, but on the other hand, there is also a great deal that this Grand Virgin is one of us.

If the Grand Virgin ever seemed to discern me, my authority would be lost.

Well, that's not possible.

The Virgin nodded worryingly, "Yes" to my words.

I was curious as I had never seen such a Virgin before...

"Hey, Vivia. About the map of the cave..."

Elgar talked me into it, and I never thought about it in depth.

Anyway, we're going to dive into a dungeon that was previously cleared with an easy win in the last three days. It would be an easy quest, never risky, ideal for arm getting used to.
