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

Four people are sitting around the table.

On the table is a bacon sandwich and mashed potato gratin, and a salad seasoned with lemon dressing using giant chicken breasts and onions, like a brown chicken called Dragon Chicken, bought at a butcher at a market.

And hot milk with honey that Rooty has always liked.

"I will do it"

Rooty started with honey milk first.

Take a sip and brighten your eyes, and half at a stretch.

The way he drinks was the same as his childhood, and he laughed unintentionally.

"Oh, this meat dragon chicken, isn't it?"

Litt ate a chicken salad and said:

Dragon chicken meat is basically chicken (for the sake of luck), although there is a slight difference in flavor, but it is a lit.

When I saw a smile on her face, it seemed to fit her mouth. I am a little glad.

"I heard there was a blessing for 'Beast' who escaped the selection on the ranch, and he ran away and ran away, and had adventurers defeat him. So a lot of unscheduled meat came to the butcher, so discounts It was sold at the price that I had. ''

Animal blessings are of less variety than humans and elves.

Like humans, they may have protections such as `` warriors, '' `` magicians, '' and `` grapplers, '' but only about 5% of them have such protection, and 95% are `` cattle '' or `` beasts. '' With blessing.

Cattle's blessing tends to be more cooperative and warm, while Beast's blessing tends to be less aggressive and more aggressive.

Of course, animals with cattle protection are suitable for domestic animals. Cattle, pigs, horses, chickens, and goats are more suitable for domestic animals because the blessings of Cattle are born much more than the beasts.

When it comes to pets, it may be possible to discipline them with the protection of Beast, but not so for commercial livestock.

Ranchers usually determine if they are a "cattle" or "beast" from within their children and dispose of the "beast" early.

You may be wondering a bit about this, but I don't have enough knowledge about livestock to be able to kiss me.

It's still good to just destroy the fence as in this case, but I also think that it is unavoidable to dispose of it at a young age because it can hurt other livestock and humans.

Hearing that the chicken had been disposed of in Beast, Lutey looked seriously at the dragon chicken meat and then ate.

I knew Lutey didn't have a lot, but he didn't have much.

Tise talks about what he needs and tells his will. For example, he tells him that the food is delicious, but then he just talks silently and eats nothing.

It seems that they pay close attention to their words and attitudes as far as their eyes move, but they do not seem to be talking about small talk or connecting places.

It's a type of speaking with a clear purpose when speaking, and words are a tool to convey when you have to convey your intentions.

Well then inevitably I'm lit with me mainly speaking on the spot.

Now they are explaining how they live in Zoltan.

Every day is quieter and more interesting than when I was flying around as a knight, fighting the Demon Army as a friend of the hero, traveling around the town, and solving problems in the town. I was listening with such a face.

"Roughly, I and Litt's day looks like this."

"Sometimes, there's no red for medicinal herbs, though."

Litt still called me Red.

Before Lutey, we talked about Red or Gideon before the night, but because we live as Red in this Zoltan, we decided to call Red and Litt as before. It is.

"brother"

"What happened?"

"Is there a northwest mountain where medicinal herbs are picked?"

"Yes, that's right."

"... I know where I am, so I'll pick medicinal herbs."

"Thank you, but is it good?"

"yep, OK"

"I see. I only need help when I'm not busy, please help me."

Rooty nodded with Kokuri.

Night.

Dinner was again eaten by four people, and Luti was expressionless and expressed a feeling of fun throughout the body.

"by the way"

I remembered and said.

"I have a bath. Will you go in before returning to the inn?"

"Take a bath, yeah"

When traveling, there are few opportunities to take a bath.

Cleanliness is important, so wash and wipe your body thoroughly, but most often with a water trough and towels. There was not much opportunity to soak in the bathtub.

In my home village, I turned a big old bell into a bath.

It's big enough for a small child.

Adults only washed their bodies with water and did not take a bath.

It is widely believed in my hometown that baths are less likely to get sick if I use them on a daily basis. The church bell was repaired and donated.

That's why both me and Rooty went to take a bath about once every three days when I was young.

"Bath, you used to be in the old days"

Lutey said nostalgicly, remembering the same thing.

In that bath, the bell was directly heated to warm the water.

Of course, the bottom is very hot, so float a wooden saw and, when you enter, be careful not to touch the bottom by riding it and sinking it.

I had one adult and my little child helped my parents take a bath, but in our case both were solid, so I was holding my rooty from about 2 years old I was taking a bath.

Rooty clings to me with a small hand, and immerses herself in the bathtub, and her parent says, "This child doesn't cry, doesn't make noise, and doesn't laugh."

It was so cute that they were taking a bath together until they could not physically enter the bath.

I want to believe that Rooty didn't hate ...

"Can't we go in today?"

He didn't seem to hate it.

"I can't go in with you at this age.

"so"

Rooty looks serious and disappointed. Hmm, it's okay if you're a brother or sister ... not really.

"Then I want to go with Ritt."

"e?"

Litt was sitting on the chair and listening to our story, and was surprised and exclaimed.

"No?"

"... Yeah, yeah, good. I also wanted to talk slowly with Rooty."

Litt smiled and said so.

Rooty smiles a little and nods.

Certainly, Lutey and Litt haven't had much conversation so far.

Litt was once defeated by Routy in the arena, and he may be weak.

Rooty doesn't talk very much if he can't talk to him because he's originally a small person.

It might be a good opportunity.

"Well, we'll prepare hot water."

"e?"

Next up was Tise.

After moving both hands lightly,

"Can I go with me?"

It has been said.

Three people seem to be small, but then do you add hot water to the attached small bathtub for one person?

"Then we're ready, so relax yourself."

When I said so and tried to get up, somehow Tise closed her eyes and looked like she was ready.

Offshore. Rapid sailing ship Sylphide. The first class rooms.

"I don't know what mission I'm trying to fulfill, but without this sage, Ares, there's no way to defeat the Demon King! The hero Luti!"

While exhausted by the use of high-level magic throughout the day, Ares shouted with his arms spread, shining his bloodshot eyes.

Theodora casts a recovery spell on Albert with a pale face.

Blood was splattering on the floor under Ares' feet.

When Ares concentrates his mind, his blood moves and draws a pattern, pointing in one direction.

"No doubt! The hero is in the direction of the end of the world!"

"If you go beyond the edge of the world, it's awkward. The edge of the world will be a voyage that will not be replenished, even if you bypass it by sea. That's a journey we can't keep up with without a flying boat. "

Theodora uttered a damn word.

Ares doesn't seem to answer, laughing at Albert's splattered blood.

"This blood has the power of the contract of the contract demon! There is a contract that says he wants to go to the hero! This blood has the power to point to the direction of hero Luti! If you draw that miracle! I Still catch up with the hero! "

"I don't know."

Theodora muttered, watching Ales shouting with cold eyes.

Ares looks back at Goryori and glares at Theodora.

"What is it?"

"The Hero left us on his own initiative, so what makes sense to follow him?"

"I need the power of this sage, Ares, to defeat the Demon King! I'm just doing my best to save the world. Why are you here? I wish I had escaped. ''

"You alone were killing this man, Albert."

Ales distorted her face and walked with a large leg at Theodora, grabbing her chest.

"I can use recovery spells! More than you do! Remember that you just want to do it!"

"Are you different?"

Theodora looked compassionate.

It is increasingly frustrating for Ares.

"It's no use just to have the skills to heal people. You can't heal anyone unless you can snuggle up to the injured person and know the pain.

"Hah! Puppy! I don't understand the meaning! Are you going to stand above me with such vague words ?!"

Nothing will be told to Ares now. Judging by this, Theodora shook his head with no force and removed Ales's hand gently grabbing his chest.

"If this isn't about human life, it's a good reminder to look at the painful eyes ... but leave the healing and health care of Albert to me anyway. I will keep it alive until I find it. ''

"I wouldn't mind being able to give me that much."

"I'm just not doing anything. I'm just doing what I need to do as a clergyman and as a fellow hero who saved the world. And I'm not fighting to be grateful, I've been fighting because I wanted to save the world, at least for me. "

Ales stared at Theodora with a terrible expression, and left the room wildly, as if she would not want to be in the room anymore.

Theodora sees the blood splattering on the floor and, as usual, tries to fetch water from the bucket to clean up.

"me……"

Albert, who had lost his blood and slept, woke up and whispered.

Theodora returned to Albert.

"Did you notice?"

"Is it helpful for the brave guys?"

Albert looked at Theodora with depressed eyes, but pure eyes without malice.

"I don't know. But thanks to you, we're approaching the hero. Whatever happens, we will then be able to choose the result at our own discretion, without leaving any choice. Albert, something I couldn't do without you. Thanks. "

"Is that so……"

A gentle smile came to Albert's mouth.

"Was good"

Theodora knows nothing about Albert's past.

But in such a life-threatening situation, this kind of laughable Albert might be more worthy of being called a hero than those who have fallen apart just because of Gideon's escape. Had been.

(I can't die from this)

Theodora was so determined.
