Three years have passed since the invasion of the Avalon continent by Taraxon, the angry demon king who controls the dark continent.

In just three years, four nations were destroyed and half of the continent fell into the hands of the Demon King.

It seemed that there was no way to do it for humans anymore, but God did not abandon people.

Prophecy of the birth of a hero.

And a girl who commanded a local unit with almost no defense strength and repelled the Demon King's advance team.

The hero Luti Lagunason appears in the Imperial City with the evident evidence of the blessing of the hero.

The King was convinced that the girl was a legendary hero through various activities, such as fighting and reconciling the underground bandits in the royal city, and obtaining the testimony of a hero sleeping in the ruins of an ancient elf.

And the hero, with the cheers and blessings of the people, set out to save the world.

Zoltan is a remote and remote area, both from the hometown of the hero and from the front line with the Demon King's army.

There are plenty of water sources, but the path of the storm coming from the South Ocean, and the north and east are blocked by unexplored great mountains called the "end of the world". In addition, the development of the land where the wetland spreads is slow, and the development is slow.

It is a land of no strategic value.

Zoltan has abundant water resources, fertile land that is replenished by flooding of rivers due to storms, so that crops can be harvested to some extent in well-drained arable land just by sowing seeds. However, serious farming was often blown away by storms, and the people here were naturally lazy and reluctant to work.

A shift to Zoltan, a land of laziness that everyone in the center fears. Even a criminal is an abandoned land where they will not be able to stop until they earn.

Travelers who come here are fugitives, hermits, or weirdos.

But for me today, this kind of land was better.

"3 kg of Hyos grass, 2 kg of rich leaves, 1 bag of whiteberries ..."

At the window of the adventurer's guild's collectibles purchase, I put the collected herbs on the counter.

"Mr. Red, who always struggles ... 130 perils in total."

The receptionist finishes the weighing and weighing in a familiar manner and hands the price to me.

"Also thank you"

Looking at me off the counter, the adventurers around me grinned grinning.

"You Yo Red, get herbs, what if you go to get rid of the goblins sometimes?"

"Bad. I'm in sexuality."

"But, I'm sorry, that copper sword is so cool. If you don't have a steel sword, you're embarrassing as an adventurer."

I shrugged.

I don't feel like being stupid, but it's nothing better than that.

These adventurers are not serious just because they are tapping lightly, because they are also lazy Zoltan adventurers who receive only easy requests.

Why do adventurers in such places ... before I became a medicinal herb expert?

In the past, a year has not passed yet, but I was at a brave party.

The name at that time was Gideon Lagunason.

No matter what you hide, the brave Luty Lagunason is my sister.

In this world, people are born with blessings. It was given by God to show the way for the person to live and to empower, and was therefore called blessing.

Blessing will give you the power and level and skills that are appropriate for the type of warrior or wizard.

I was an unprecedented blessing of "guide".

Its power is +30 at the initial blessing level.

I'm level 31 by nature.

Had a Royal Guard Knight class level.

He was pampered, and in fact he went to fight monsters at the age of six, and was scouted by the Knights at the age of eight. And at the age of 18, he was promoted to Deputy Commander.

If the younger sister proves to be a brave man, it will have lost the twin wings of human hope.

After finishing the frontier battle with Luti, when I left the royal capital to defeat the Demon King, I naturally joined the party.

At least at that point I was stronger than my sister and a five-fingered knight in the royal capital. Nobody opposed joining the brave party.

Except for Ales, the only one who also joined the party.

In the end, Ares was right.

My blessing is "guide". Blessing to protect the hero's journey.

As the level of the heroes rises and other companions acquire powerful skills, the problems of the "guide" become apparent.

Skills for heroes are provided for blessing of heroes, skills for sages are provided for blessing of sages, and skills for warriors are provided even for common blessings such as warriors, but skills for guides Does not exist.

The only skills I could choose were common skills that anyone could wear.

I was strong at the time of my departure, but I was gradually overtaken by my friends, overtaken, and became party luggage.

My role was to help an inexperienced brave in the early days, but to be "a fellow before midfield".

"You are not a true companion"

One of the four kings of the Demon Army, Desmond on the earth, was killed in a fierce fight and a celebration was being held at the house of the lord, and I was called out by a fellow sage, Ares, and said that.

"What do you mean?"

"A true companion is a companion who can share their hardships and fight together."

"I must be so?"

"Don't you even know yourself? To put it plainly, you're on your feet. What were you doing in this battle with the four kings, Desmond on the earth?"

"... I would have fought with a sword too."

"No, your sword wasn't doing any decent damage to Desmond, because you would have been ignored from Desmond. I've never had one. "

That's true.

I was ignored by Desmond.

"You weren't considered a threat, but you couldn't avoid a range attack that didn't aim at you. I wasted one move. "

"……that is"

"Your presence is the weight of Rooty. Don't you think it's worse than just limping?"

"I'm trying to help a little."

"Effort? Are you stupid?"

"What!?"

"Efforts are justifications for success, but they are not an excuse for being able to do so. Would you allow them to do so? After all you are not a true companion! "

I could not refute anything.

It may be at the tide. I thought so.

That's what I've been thinking about ... Is it that time today?

"But I am deputy commander of the Knights of Bahamut, and when I came back, I was hurt, and the honor of the Knights was hurt ..."

"Knights honor before the crisis in the world?"

"So I'm going to search for the Demon King Army alone ... and never came back. Please do that."

"I see, it's good. I'll talk back and forth."

"... I'm saved"

I tried to leave while looking down.

"Hey"

Ares stops it.

"Keep the equipment, it's what we got."

“…………”

I remove all the equipment, such as the treasure sword "Thunderwayker" on my waist, my mental defense ring, and the dodge coat, receive a little road bank and cheap copper sword from Ares, and walk away.

But there was a lack of skill.

The next day, I wanted to see my sister's face only once before leaving the party.

My brother, my brother and my younger sister.

Of course, I'm a lot weaker now, but I was worried that my sister was going to be alone, and that ... I was worried that I would be gone ... Was.

But ... I sneak into my eyes, looking out of the window, was my sister's shoulder held by Ares.

"What's that ...?"

I don't need it anymore. It turned out clearly.

As he said, I was not a true companion.

Damn, somehow tears came out again.

I don't think you need a big brother anymore, but I'm glad if you remember me sometimes ... I ran out of town in the morning, muttering something sad.

Then I changed my name to Red and flowed into this abandoned Zoltan as a dull adventurer specializing in medicinal herbs.

"It was hard at that time."

When I was alone, I already cried in a man's habit.

After being kicked out of the party, she was motivated for a while, killing a band of bandits, who had made a noise near the town where she was staying, to steal money and escaping to unfamiliar liquor for about a month.

But doing so is noticeable.

If my identity is lost, it will be a terrible trouble for the leader and lord who took care of me.

So I fired up and I traveled to the remote Zoltan as Adventurer Red and decided to have a new dream here.

"Opening a medicinal herb shop in this Zoltan and slowly slowing down my life! I have no fighting talent, I will live peacefully in the future!"

I'm worried about my sister, but I can't help if I'm weaker than my sister.

I'm not a true companion anyway, so leave the Demon King to them and I'll live for myself!

For this reason, he paid for collecting herbs and saved the distribution of herbs in each season on his own map.
