I Was Kicked out of the Hero’s Party Because I Wasn’t a True Companion so I Decided to Have a Slow Life at the Frontier

It was a stormy day.

It is rare for a storm to come to this village.

Therefore, many houses were not strong enough to withstand the storm, and we all gathered and evacuated to the meetinghouse, which is also the village mayor's house.

The sound of the wind blowing. Something is skipped outside and makes a noise. A violent thunder roared, and the children who had evacuated also screamed.

I am 8 years old at this time. His sister Luti was 6 years old.

Both were much older than their children, due to special blessings.

"Okay, oh, oh!"

A girl the same age as Luti, sitting a little further away, began to cry and rinsed at her mother. The mother seemed to care a little about her eyes, "I'm six years old!", But she gently stroked the girl's head that stuck to her arm.

“…………”

Rooty always looked at the situation with his usual eyes ... cold eyes from around him, but it wasn't, he just stared at the situation with his emotional expressions just confusing.

When I looked around, I found that many parents and siblings were holding hands in the same way.

Everyone is scared.

"Rooty"

"What?"

"Are you scared?"

"... A storm? A thunder? Or a possibility of a building breaking and everyone crushing?"

I gently stroked my sister's quiet, beautiful eyes, asking what he had heard.

"Everything is scary right now?"

"No, because I'm not afraid."

“I am not afraid of anything.” Luty once had a great fight once when he hit a 13-year-old general with the same line.

Despite having the blessing of the hero, a precocious boy who became a `` warrior '' of blessing level 3 in a child's rootie who does not have armed nor fighting at blessing level 1, furthermore it is a weapon even though it is just a stick He had a thick cloth armor, and even an old wooden shield, his opponent was difficult and returned with a stick.

Rooty simply said that he was born scarce and that there was nothing scary.

…… Of course, I hurt the kid in general afterwards …… I guess I hurt 1.5 times …… 2, or 2.2 times, maybe maybe that much, and apologized in front of Luti .

That forced me to be treated as a general brat for a while. Because it was troublesome, he ordered another 11-year-old boy with the protection of another "Cavalier" to return to his original condition.

Since then, the former general has seemed to be quieter and less violent. His violence was not an urge to bless him, he just had no experience losing in a fight.

"Is there something scary for Rooty?"

"You know, too."

"Yup"

Luty shook his head and told me that he had no idea what he wanted.

"Actually"

"?"

"I'm scared"

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. Are you surprised?"

Rooty shows a little annoyance.

At this time there was no immunity to confusion. So I think it was surprising.

"I'm not surprised"

"Well, are you surprised?"

"Yup"

"Well, when I get to the main subject, I'm scared ... Would you hold my hand?"

"my?"

"Oh, Rooty's hand"

"OK"

I hold Rooty's hand.

No matter how much blessing you have, it's the little girl's hand.

"Are you scared?"

"Yeah, I'm not scared anymore"

"Was good"

Rooty smiled. But other people ... even mothers and dads don't seem to understand this cute smile. It is a waste.

That's why I'm monopolized. Until Luti meets someone who understands this smile someday.

"I'm sorry it's a lie"

"Is it a lie?"

"I'm not scared at all"

"so"

Lutey tilted his head, increasingly uncertain.

"I just wanted to hold Rooty's hand."

"my?"

"It was disgusting?"

"I don't hate it, but why?"

"It doesn't make sense"

"No?"

"Yes, I sometimes want to grab Ruti's hand for nothing."

"……why?"

"It makes no sense ... but humans do meaningless actions."

"Meaningless action"

"Yes, I held Rooty's hand without any particular meaning, so if you want to hold my hand without meaning, you can do it anytime."

"so……"

Rooty stares at my connected hand.

"brother"

"Yup?"

"I like my brother."

rare.

Isn't this the first time that Rooty has a verbal favor for something?

"Thank you, I'm glad"

"why?"

"e?"

"I like you like me? Why do you thank him?"

I gently stroked Luti's hair.

Her awakening blue hair, when stroked, reflects the light of the candle and glitters.

"Rooty, I like you."

"Yup"

What I like about Rooty is a word that has been repeated over and over.

In fact, I'm sorry for this sister.

"Routie, I'll laugh when I say that."

Ruti touches his face petapeta, astonished.

The gesture was cute again and I smiled.

"It's nice to laugh, right?"

"Maybe so."

"That's what I mean, I'm glad I told Rooty I like it. I'm laughing now."

"Yup"

"Thank you so"

Rooty tried to understand the meaning of the words.

"Do you get it"

"Did you understand?"

"My brother, can I do something meaningless?"

"Well done!"

Rooty has released my hand.

Oh? Did you not like it?

But Lutey turned behind me and hugged her neck and stuck to her back.

"Is this better ... was it okay?"

"Oh, this is always good."

"so"

Your arm is tight. Rooty's warm body temperature was felt from his back.

"brother"

"what"

When I turn my head and look back, it is natural, but there is a face of Luti.

"Thank you"

Rooty showed a "full smile" that only I knew.

Anyone who knew this smile was so cute that she would absolutely fall in love.

The one who gets married to Rooty is happy. I'm jealous now.

"Does your brother stay with me forever?"

"... I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"so"

If this storm passes. I head to the town of Andal waiting for the knight who scouted me to become a knight.

As we know, the monsters around this village cannot grow well. He began to hunt monsters in earnest from the age of six, but still only climbed from level 31 to 33. It is not enough to talk about Owlbear.

I have to be stronger for one day to travel with Routy.

I don't know how long we can fight together ... until Routy can walk with many friends. I have to be able to fight, even if my opponent is the best demon.

"But always call me if Luty has something he doesn't want to do. I'll do it instead."

"I know it"

"Is that so?"

"I told you something."

"Is it troubled if you forget it?"

With small ears attached to my back, Luti stuck still.

"I'll come back if I have a break. What's good for souvenirs?"

"Honey milk"

Rooty muttered on my back.

Journey to the Demon King and slow life in the remote Zoltan.

It seemed that the road they would cross would never cross again. But

"Are you looking for Gideon?"

The young man with dark hair and dark skin told Danang.

Originally not good at pursuing, Danang is unable to take any steps and is at a loss, drinking at a bar in a town separate from Gideon. No information was found for Gideon.

"What is it?"

Danang, who is drunk with good feelings, glares at Girori and the young man. No, I don't mean to stare, Da Nang's "Intimidating Eyes" skills often get outbursts. Rather, if you don't use it consciously, Intimidating Eyelight will automatically trigger.

But the young man was calm.

"Oh my god!"

"Not as good as you, but with a little sword."

"Hoo"

"You're looking for Gideon, right?"

"What then, do you know where Gideon is?"

"No, neither, just because I was looking for Gideon."

"What?"

Danang's sickness awakens.

Shake his fist lightly and glare at the youth ready for battle.

"Would you like to find them together? I think it would be more efficient to find them together."

The young man remained smiling.
