It was almost noon when we arrived at the market due to a slight detour.

Litt and I buy the ingredients while sweating in the heat.

"Redou, we're all here."

"Oh"

The shopping was handed over by handing over the notes, and the two divided. The merchants in the market are not motivated by the heat, and there is no call for appeal, and a fan (hand fan) has dropped into the shadow behind the store with one hand. It's nice that I wasn't stopped or wasted, but I was bitterly laughing at Zoltan's market laziness.

The lit seems to be the same, and the lit who doesn't usually use the market is smiling laughingly.

"In my hometown, the market feels noisy even in the summer. I ate it every day, so summer batter was irrelevant.

"Because my hometown was rural, there were no markets. Bring what each house makes and barter."

"It was like Red's hometown. But when he was eight, Red was already in the Knights, right?"

"Well, I was only home when I was a kid."

So few people are close to home. I thought he was forgotten by Rooty, but ... when he went back several times a year, Rooty always greeted me at the village entrance faster than anyone.

"Well, I missed those days."

That it was making friends with Ares now.

I didn't notice at all.

"... I can't believe it."

"Hmm?"

"I can't imagine that Rooty's open mind to people other than Red."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm so scared, I don't know anything else"

"scared?"

I thought it was a joke, but Litt's face was serious.

"When I faced Rutey in the arena, I knew for the first time that my skin was awful and said this thing. ...... So, Red, dare to say the original name, but when I saw Luti spoiled by Gideon, I couldn't believe it. "

"Hmm, well, there are places where the expression is a bit difficult to understand."

"I can't imagine that that Rooty would be something Ales."

That's a good reputation, but Litt is seriously questioning.

I was a little anxious ...

"Well, Rooty is far stronger than me. I don't know what the hero's party is going to be, but he seems to have defeated the four kings of the wind, and he's doing well."

"... That's right! We're in Zoltan and we can't help but care."

Litt said to deny what he thought, and took my arm.

"Let's go home"

"Oh, let's go home"

We who are out of the battle to determine the fate of the world are already in a different world than the braves.

Danang, one of the brave parties, with the protection of a martial artist, snarled with anger.

"Let's do a good job, Ares! This is how many times!"

"If it's gone, isn't it just a matter of returning to buying?"

Ares, with the sage's protection, says without worrying about Danang's anger. But his lips shook slightly, indicating that he was a sage and was humiliated to be scolded like a child by ignorant Da Nang.

Now, the brave party is heading for weapons left by the former Demon King, who is in the Bloodsand Desert.

The aim is now to get or destroy it before being deprived by the modern Demon King's army.

However, this is the third time that water and food will be cut off and returned to the village. Despite not knowing where the weapons are, it was clear that supplies often grew shortly after Red Gideon left the party.

"I think we're spending days in this desert, going back and forth in the same place over and over again! You couldn't get the help of the desert people because you failed to negotiate!"

"It's a legendary weapon? It won't be easy to find. I did my best in negotiations, but the desert people are thieves who don't follow the king of the land. You do it. "

Ares shrugs. That attitude further offended Danang.

"In procurement and negotiations, I guess I'd say I would do it for Gideon! What is it!"

"Unlike Gideon, we can't just do the chores."

As always, Danes was angry at the trifles, Ares thought so.

However, seeing Danang's expression look straight, a danger signal runs over Ares' mind. But it was too late.

"Okay, I'm going to look for Gideon. I can't move on as it is."

"Wait a minute. I'm going to the secret facility of the predecessor Devil !? It's hard to get out here!"

"This is annihilation. I thought I was the fastest way to defeat the Demon King, so I just entered the party. If it's no longer short, there's no point here."

Danang is serious. At least it looked to Ares.

She looks at the sitting Crusader Theodora asking for help, but she closes her eyes with her arms crossed as if she were not involved. Gideon's replacement for Assassin's Tise is faithful to her client, Ares, but is useless in this situation.

"It was irreparable that Gideon was kicked out, Ares.

"As I said many times, I didn't get rid of him, he did."

Danang still sneers at his scarred face.

At that time,

"Danang, are you looking for your brother?"

Even Danang's sneering sound was frozen.

"Yu, brave. This is ..."

Danang, whose whole body is wrapped in muscular armor, shrugs in front of a girl in fear. It's almost like a herbivore caught glaring at a large carnivore that couldn't beat it and panicked and shut down.

Brave Rooty. A girl with a small body wrapped in silver armor, a sacred sword of demon on her waist, and a look at a large, expressionless Da Nang.

But she is God's strongest. He is a hero who has acquired extraordinary power to save the world.

The instinct knew that even a warrior who could cut through steel with his fingers, he could never beat the brave.

Danang's throat roars.

"This, if you leave it to Ales anymore, the party will be annihilated. We need your brother, Gideon. Even the hero ..."

"Why?"

"No, no, that ..."

No. Danang bowed down and was able to withstand the urge to escape her gaze. Alone, the spirit of a man who has survived hundreds of killings wears out.

Perhaps it was a little silence, but it seemed tens of times longer for Danang.

"Forgive me. Go."

"e?"

"Da Nang, you go to find Gideon. We continue our journey."

"No, no, that"

"I'm over."

To put it simply, Luti turned back to his own tent.

We use personal tents as party leaders, but the real reason is that even Ares can't stand being together with Luty in a narrow tent.

At times other than during the adventure, Rooty was acting alone. Only one, except Gideon.

"Cho, wait a minute, Rooty!"

Ares followed in a hurry.

As she exhaled long, Danang sat in front of Theodora with her eyes closed.

"So what do you do?"

"I have no choice but to go."

Asked by Theodora, Danang drops her shoulder.

"I still knew the key to the party's attack."

"It will be next to the hero"

"Well, the brave is exceptional. I can't believe that there was a time when the brave was weak."

"If the level of blessing is low, there are times when everyone is weak ... but I agree. I guess Ales knows because he was at a party from an early age."

"Hey Ares ..."

At last, the tone of Danang has returned to the usual irreverent state. Danang whispered a little while stroking the scars on her cheeks.

"Is it true that Ares killed Gideon in the way?"

"HM"

"There is no doubt that Ares wants to marry the hero. His parents' home is a duke of the fallen family, and his revival would be a longing. Become a couple of heroes and wise men who saved the world. It is not impossible to have a nation as a principality ... I can't deny what Yalandrara said? "

Around Gideon, the brave party had another friend.

A woman who was a high elf named Yalandrara and had the blessing of manipulating a plant called "The Tree Singer".

About a week after Gideon's escape, she blamed Ales for killing Gideon. She used a plant to gather information for a week, but there was no sign of Gideon leaving the city.

This is because Red knew Yalandrara's abilities and took countermeasures, but Yalandrara would not know.

Ares broke his promise with Gideon, even saying that Gideon had escaped and escaped himself, but Jalandrara left the party without belief.

Her ability to manipulate plants would not have been able to demonstrate her full potential in the desert, but if Yalandrara was here, the search would have been much easier.

Danang didn't even think that Ales had killed Gideon, but he was going to look for Gideon and was reminded.

If Gideon is killed, Da Nang's journey will never end.

"Gideon was a combat proficient. I was impressed that common skills alone would be enough to fight that far."

"Me too. Gideon was a respectable lawyer."

"Isn't that often blaming the blunder in battle?"

Danang shook his body. An irreverent man drops his shoulders ashamed.

"I have this kind of personality ... I have to blame it for failure ... I swear to my blessing, but I swear I don't need Gideon at the party, much less like a footstep I've never done that. ''

"Then I'll tell you that."

"... I mean, do you think Gideon left me?"

Theodora folded the branch at hand and threw it into the bonfire.

"Gideon is one of the greatest martial arts masters in the world, Danang, and I, the sculptor of the Knights of the Knights of the Basilica, have acknowledged me. Is the swordsman lagging behind one-on-one? "

"Yes!"

Theodora's words had a reverberating sound. Danang understands that.

Gideon should be alive. He is a fellow who left his back and died in the deadline. Gideon is alive if we are alive.

I can't die alone.

"I was glad I went to find Gideon early, so I didn't have to worry about this desert."

"Well, if I had spoken earlier than Danang, what I could look for."

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.
