After a brief introduction, Mr. Flair stabbed the killer in his hand into the holder that was enclosed in the belt string of his pants, and then looked up at me and opened his mouth.

"If you show me the dragon, it will be easy to understand, but it will make a lot of noise in the city, so let me take another opportunity. I'm sorry for the confusion I caused my comrades in the wrong order of explanation..."

"Ah, no, don't worry about it... by the way, who's your friend?

"Ah, what, once we fought in the same direction, different places and magic on the stage of the divine world... so we were all comrades."

I see.

The stage of the divine world that Mr Flair talked about is related to the trial that Mr Shiro gave me. I just heard from everyone later, so I don't know that much about it... but it seems that many people, including Six Kings executives, joined the fight besides my acquaintance.

And Mr. Flair is one of them... even if it's a coincidence, it might be a good opportunity to meet you like this. Either way, I thought I had to thank you.

"... Mr. Flair, it's getting late, but thank you so much for helping me at that time."

When I told her so and lowered her head, Ms. Flair had a flickering expression for a moment, then smiled gently before reaching out and tapping me lightly on the shoulder.

"I don't need a thank-you... but it's a word of hard work from my comrades. Thank you for this, I'll take it. But in that case, I'd like to thank you too."

"... eh?

"I would like to thank you for being able to participate in that battle and for seeing it with my own eyes, even though I have done only a small part of your great deeds. It was really impressive."

"No, I really got a lot of help on that one. Thanks to everyone who helped me win Shiro."

This was a truly sincere word. I won against Shiro, the creator of the world... to put it that way, the sole sounds like a great feat. But in fact, I wouldn't have been able to overcome the first challenge on my own.

Such thoughtful remarks were made, but Mr Flair shook his neck quietly.

"No, it's not, mate. What your Duke did, of course, had a wonderful result. But it wasn't because I won that my comrades called me great."

"... eh?

"It's not just about the divine world. From the time my comrades visited this world to the challenge of God... there must have been a lot of difficulty before you. I don't know the details, but there must have been a case involving the Dark Lord, a case involving a person called the Demon King, and many other difficulties."

Once the words were separated, Mr. Flair glanced gently into the sky. When I looked up at the sky, there was a beautiful blue sky with no clouds.

And Mr. Flair looks at the sky and says in a calm tone.

"... hey, my comrades. There must have been a 'compromise' option. There must have been a way to give up. Of course, there are times when you are never allowed to escape on the road you walk. But it's really a very small part."

……

"I could have stopped with that result. Even if I gave up and ran away, nobody would have blamed you. The many events that stood in front of you would have been too high a wall to challenge yourself."

It would be a lie to say that there is nothing unexpected about Mr Flair's words. For example, when I first met Isis, no one would blame me if I ran away in fear.

There were many occasions when I tried to escape, and many occasions when I tried to compromise and give up on the way, I was given up.

But I...

"... but my comrades didn't stop. Seeking the best results, I drank into my frightened mind and confronted it. That's why comrades were able to get a lot. That's why our comrades captured great results."

"Mr. Flair...."

So Mr. Flair turned his gaze back to me from the sky and looked me straight in the eye.

"My comrades, you are not great because you won. 'Challenged' is great. I would like above all to praise your father for his courage and his proud heart in reaching out for the best. You can be proud. That challenge was made possible because of you… a great act that no one else could ever imitate."

The words exchanged so far at least conveyed that Mr. Flair was a straight person. That's why I could understand that this compliment was the true heart of Mr. Flair, and I felt a little ticklish.

"That's why I'm so proud of my comrades... if I was able to help them a little. And it's an irreplaceable joy to see your comrades (both) win. That's why I want to thank you. I got you into a really good fight."

When I saw Flair laughing like that, I smiled unexpectedly. It's not amazing because I won a great result. I was really glad to hear Flair's words in tribute to his unspoiled and shrouded courage... because he reached out for a wonderful result.
