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

Minato Ward is often affected by storms.

It is an annual event that the underfloor is flooded by the rising river, and it is not unusual for buildings to collapse.

The residents of Minato Ward have given up trying to overcome the storm and have evolved to develop building techniques that can be easily built without having to last long enough to break in the storm.

This shop, which is located in a place with little traffic in Minato Ward, seems to have been partially destroyed by a storm three years ago. The old wall and the new wall are connected like a seam, and drafts make a noise.

The shop owner was a bent woman, and had a friendly reception with Nico Nico.

"Please, white fish soup."

"Thank you"

I carry two soups in a platter with floating fish fillets on the counter to my table.

There is no customer other than us in the store because it is a little off from the meal time.

"It looks good!"

Danang shone with his eyes.

"You always say that."

I laugh at such Danang.

This is a common complaint when Danang prepares a dish. Danang always shines with a decent dish.

I felt nostalgic for my friends' habits after a long absence.

"No, I'm less likely to say" it looks good "after you leave.

"Don't say shit at the meal.

"No, I told you Ares will do it."

"Oh, that's impossible."

I don't hear that Ales knows about cooking. Just before I kicked me out, I would have tried to do what I was doing instead.

It is unreasonable.

"I'm going to be frustrated if I leave it to the one who can't do it. I'll take turns and share that this isn't an easy task. And you know who you are best at. ''

"We just specialize in fighting."

Danang scratched her head.

"That's because you went somewhere on your own."

The arm on Danang's head blurred.

The next moment, Danang's finger is right beside my forehead.

I turned my head away and evaded Da Nang's Dekopin with a short break.

"I don't think my arm is dull."

Danang smiled grinning with her arms retracted.

I am not joking.

On the day when the finger is used to decopin, there is no pain for three days.

Fortunately it has been avoided now, but the movement is sharper than the previous Danang. Because it's play, it's terrifying how much you'll get if you get serious.

"There are only so many humans in this world who can avoid my deco pins."

"No, I still felt the difference in power. Danang is strong."

Although he has been overtaken before, the difference in ability between Danang and me is now isolated.

While I was living in the Zoltan, Danang had passed through the deadline on the front line with the Demon Army.

I'm only level, and if I'm even different, I won't win anything anymore.

"... I don't think so. Gideon, you're a respectable man."

Danang said in my words a little lonely.

I and Danang make noise all the time and drink soup.

With a simple flavor of fish taste and salt, vegetables such as potatoes and cabbage are cut off in addition to fish fillets.

Not an elaborate dish, but delicious. If your cooking skills are low, just use the taste of the ingredients. A good dish that follows that principle.

The grandmother who manages this shop seems to have been a singer against sailors in the past. After retiring from the singer, he became a landlady in a completely different job, a tavern.

"And why did you leave?"

Danang replied.

"... Are you hearing from Ares? I ran away."

I asked Ales to make sure she knew her, so she didn't bother the knights, but I heard from Tise that she was pursued and laid out that I had escaped.

Da Nang would have heard of course.

"Are you told that by Ares?"

"I have it, but ... I've acknowledged more than that. I felt painful in the fight against Desmond on the soil. I couldn't keep up anymore."

"Wrong!"

Don and Danang hit the desk.

The soup jumped and spilled a little on the desk.

"I understand well after you're gone. Gideon, you're strong. It's not just the strength of your braces. It's the battlefield without the boldness, martial arts, or magic that lets you make a cool decision even if you're fighting something stronger than you. You are the most powerful man with the knowledge to take the most effective action, you need to travel. "

Danang's eyes are serious.

But ... my heart is already determined, and I can't always ask questions here.

"Bad, I've found a place here. I won't be together anymore."

"I must defeat the Demon King to protect his whereabouts!"

"Yes."

Danang has hit this issue straight.

Albert's words come back to my mind.

"A powerful thing has an obligation to use that power."

Is it a sin for me not to fight, or is it obligatory to fight if the born blessing wants it?

Yes, I've been thinking about this problem all the while watching Lutie.

Little Rooty was born obliged to save the world. If Rooty doesn't want to fight, it won't allow people, the world, or even blessings.

We were staring at each other, but Danang first looked away.

"... Well, yes, you quit the journey on your own will."

"Even if it was Ales, it was my intention to quit the journey."

We were silent for a moment.

The eyes of each other intersect with complex emotions.

"I don't understand anyway. I'll show you what you're doing with this Zoltan for a while. Then think about what to do."

"It doesn't matter ... but there's another problem."

"what is it"

"Routy is also here."

"What?"

Danang was surprised and stopped.

"Why the hero?"

"... If you hear this story, you might get angry with Rutey."

"I'm the hero? I don't mean that."

Should I tell Danang the truth? To avoid hassle, I could have dared to shout Da Nang away from the problem of rooty.

"But Da Nang. I'm going to talk to you as much as I know. What Luti was thinking and what she was suffering. You're a friend of Luti."

"Does the brave suffer?"

Why did my brave friends fall apart just by leaving me? When I first said that, I didn't know.

What I've done is a chore that doesn't require skills. To put it simply, everyone can do it with their efforts.

It would be hard work if it was gone, but it wasn't a task that couldn't be done "by sharing with friends."

But in fact, Ares broke down trying to do everything alone. The parties were dissatisfied and the party broke apart.

Ares the cause?

Certainly it will. If Ales couldn't help by himself, it might not have been the case.

But that's not all. If you know that Ales is no longer able to cope with Ales alone, help him out.

That may be due to the distrust of Ares who drove me out. Yalandrara and Da Nang were dropped because they did not trust Ales.

"A true companion?"

As Ares said, ironically, this is probably what caused the party to collapse.

"I think you are a true companion."

Danang responded to my words and said:

I'm glad to be told that, but I'm glad ... no.

I started talking to Da Nang about Luti.

He had been suffering from being swayed by the brave blessings.

Losing a lot of humanity in exchange for immunity.

And use the devil's blessing to curb the urge to bless you ... that you may quit the brave.

Despite being with him that much, he couldn't understand Ruti's suffering.

Rooty is a hero who plays a role in pulling parties. That's because blessing has decided so.

The party goes well if everyone is able to fulfill the role given to the blessing. That may be the true companion of Ares.

But it didn't work. We are not slaves of blessing.

"Do you suffer from blessing? I never thought about it."

Danang was shocked at what I spoke.

"I'm a martial artist and I'm well-trained. It's fun to train, I'm excited when I fight against strong opponents. ... I was that kind of person. "

"Yes."

"... I don't know. I don't really know."

Da Nang is a person whose fundamental sense of struggling with the urge of blessing is unknown. None of the people I have seen are as loved by my blessing as Danang.

The proof is that the blessing of the "warrior" is far superior to that of the top blessings such as the "Crusader" and the "sage."

"I don't know, but I know they all don't! I can only fight!"

"It's brain muscle."

"So anyway, if the hero is acting for something, fight for it! If the hero quits the hero, then think about that time!"

Oh no. Danang is really Danang.

"Once you decide, I don't have time to relax here! Gideon, our role is to help if the hero is struggling!"

"Wait wait, my story is good, but your story is not yet."

"You should talk while walking, it's not a big deal about me!"

I think losing your right hand is a pretty big deal.

The feeling that Danang's face couldn't stay or stand was clearly apparent.

"OK"

It's been a long time to see such places in Danang.

This lovable brain has always practiced action rather than thinking. He was a man who did not worry about stopping in any situation.

Occasionally, I felt that the simplicity of Danang seemed dazzling.

The doors opened and noisy Red and Danang left the store.

"Do you have to follow?"

A man with a bandaged face sitting away from the seat where the Danans were sitting ... Albert said.

Theodora, with a spear on her back, does not answer and looks at her hand, sitting on the table.

Theodora is also one of the highest peaks of humanity as a lawyer. If Teodora seriously uses the magic of shutting off, it will be difficult to recognize the hostile Teodora, even with a combination of Danang and Red.

(Did the brave give up the Demon King?)

Theodora is not as simple as Danang.

Theodora didn't even see Albert, anxiously listening to herself, and was still worried about what to do.

Emotionally, I want to cooperate with Rooty and Gideon. I want to help if that Rooty is suffering!

Theodora never felt as remorseful as Danang's lack of simplicity.
