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

I see, the Goblins are attacking from the west.

"Yes, I've never seen a distant goblin come to this village before... but the presence of the Demon King Army has made monsters active, right?

"Hmm... there are rumors like that."

Claudia told me, and I thought about it.

"You've never had one before, have you?

"I've never seen a tribe of goblins with blackdocks near the village, like the goblins who live in the woods or the mountains in the north."

I see.

Thank you. Don't get caught.

At that time.

"The ones who were looking west are back!

One of Claudia's associates spoke up.

Turning to the village, five people walk towards the village.

"Are these three people outside?"

"Yeah, someone I don't know."

Claudia answered my tweet.

When I left the village when I was young, I didn't know much about the faces and names of the villagers, but I still know that three of the five men are different from the villagers.

Gideon!

The woman from the village who brought the people outside looked at me and raised her voice.

"You're back."

I also walk about ten steps toward a woman with blue hair approaching.

Hi, Mom.

"I'm glad you're here."

She is my mother, Pirietta Ragnathon.

My mother held a spear that she could use with one hand in her left hand and smiled at me.

"Who are those people?

My mother looks at the men I brought in to answer my questions.

"The people who fled the village of the west."

"... do you know a village in the west?

"No, I don't know his face, but I don't have a chance to face the people of the western village in the first place... we'll be each other in trouble."

I see, I see.

I watched them run away from the village where the monsters attacked them, and they lay face down and said nothing.

A sword used for the waist.

"Oh, is this it? I got it from a peddler and used it all the time to hunt monsters."

"May I see it?

"What about it?"

The man raised his face and looked at me.

The face of a man whose skin is shattered by sunburn certainly looks like a farmer.

"... it's just cheap."

"No, I'm not going to take it. I can see what kind of monster I fought with with the sword."

"Ha, ha, you're kidding, right? Do you have that kind of skill?"

No, it's my stunt. I'm a knight.

For a short while, the men looked anxiously at each other.

Goblins attacked the village.

"Well, because it's what ordinary people see. Maybe there's another monster mixed up, just show me a little sword. Or is that why you can't show me anything?

"No, no, there's nothing like that...."

After he could swim his eyes, he slowly pulled out his sword and gave it to me.

You're being used.

"Ah, ahh, it's used."

"Handle him a little better, the rust is floating and there is a blade spill."

I return the sword to the man.

"Why don't I sharpen it?

"No, that's fine... that's enough"

Ah.

The man heals the sword in a relaxed manner.

Gideon, they're very tired.

Okay, I'm sorry I stopped.

"It's okay, I never knew what you were doing."

…………

The mothers went back to the village.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you....."

Claudia, who was watching me silently, said.

"Me and my mom?

"It's refreshing... I think my mother will embrace the situation when my son, who became a knight of King's Landing, returns... and I've heard that the amount of money sent is great."

"I only send the money that I deserve to live in the village, I don't know how to spend it, I just make the money unhappy."

Ha.

"... Mom and Dad don't seem to understand me and Rooty, so we have a bad relationship."

Unlike us who were born with special protection and destiny, our mothers have lived in the world with common protection.

The mother of "The Brave" is probably nothing but pain for ordinary people.

"Knights have trouble, too."

Claudia didn't seem to like my story... but she seemed a little sympathetic to me.

"Well, I'll check the west a little bit."

"I'm going to check...!?

"I asked you to protect the village!

"Gideon, what the hell!!

"I'll explain later!

Instead of answering Claudia, I made him run across the dragon.

We need to get this over with and get back to Rootie.

Two hours later.

Back in the village, I headed for a cabin with three people who said they came from a village in the west.

When I opened the door, the men who were facing each other and discussing something suddenly saw me.

Knock it off.

The man complained to me with his teeth blackened with cavities.

Instead of answering, I throw the sword I brought.

"Thanks for showing me your sword. I'll show you mine."

"This is it!!!

The colors of the men who saw the sword change.

"Do you know?

"No, I don't know!

"It belongs to a bandit leader who was hiding in a nearby forest. It's a miserable sword with poor maintenance, even though it's a good business."

"I see... those bandits..."

I cut them all.

In my words, the men were stunned.

"I told you, when I saw the sword, I knew what it had slashed... your sword had slashed a lot of humans."

"Ah, ah...."

"There are rumors that monsters are active because of the Demon King Army, but not this time. You raided Goblin's quarters, drove them out, raided the village."

Here's the truth.

The bandits used the rumors to come up with a way to loot the village.

First, we raid the village by chasing the monsters and luring the village's power out.

Bandits can chase away monsters, but the villagers feel more threatened than the rumors that monsters are being activated by the Demon King Army. The villagers assume that there will be monsters that will continue to attack even a few monsters.

We infiltrate the village as a fugitive from the next attacked village and work to make it easier to attack from the inside. I told you to set it on fire or leave the gate unlocked.

And finally, a bandit squadron of nearby bandits was planning to raid and loot a chaotic village.

"The bandit leader's name is Wammer, and he's got a prize for 800 perils."

I put my hand on the handle of my sword.

"Oh, you're going to kill us!

"There's no court because this isn't King's Landing, and if it's a bandit who kills, it's a death sentence."

Bandits reach for their swords.

But the first one raised his hands and screamed.

"Do you have proof?

"Evidence?"

"You're right, we're bandits!

"Hmm, don't say surprises."

"Hee, hee...."

"There's no evidence. I just decided it was like this."

"Well, then you can't cut it off!

Have you ever worked for a merchant?

Smart.

No, I'll kill him.

Huh?

"I have decided that I am the enemy, and that will suffice to slay it."

"Eh, ah, don't joke! That's impossible....."

Bandits talk about lawlessness.

When I laugh, the bandits say back angrily.

"Without proof, you're not a bandit!

"Haha, it's totally sweet."

Sweet?

"There's no judge here, I'm going to gather evidence and ask who. I'm a knight, do you go all the way to collect evidence to kill your enemies on the battlefield?

"Ah, ahh...."

"You tried to attack the village where my precious sister lives, and I decided that."

I pulled out the knight's sword.

"Then I'll slay you, without hesitation."

The bandits hurried to pull out their swords.

But it's too late.

"Let the best opponent pull out the sword first, it's too much to lick as a member of the wooden bandits."

"No, stop!!

My swords slashed their bodies before they begged for their lives.

I kept it to the smallest wound so it didn't bleed much, but it still spreads from the collapsed body to the floor.

"... can I take care of the body?

When I speak out, a little pale Claudia comes in from outside.

"I wonder what Gideon is trying to do...."

"I'm not angry, I'm pretty much like a human being out there, and Claudia would certainly care to protect the village if she was acting suspiciously."

"The Knight is not like us."

"... maybe."

Claudia closed her eyes and opened them.

"I'll take care of the bandits' remains, their belongings...."

"Whatever you want, you don't have much, but it'll be a waste."

"I will, because I wanted to reward my friends for their hard work during this uproar."

That's a good idea.

"... I'm just a village girl. I don't feel like a knight just because I can use a bow."

I see.

"But when we defended the village, I decided."

Claudia said that clearly to me.

Nice eyes.

But it's dangerous.

Her determination depends on the part where "we” protect the village.

Perhaps what's really important to her is her friends... and that irregularity can cause her to go the wrong way.

But there's no point in me pointing that out here.

My words as a human being outside the village do not reach her beliefs.

"Good luck."

That's why I had to say it.

I finished what I had to do, and I went home to wait for Lutie.

"Welcome home."

"I'm home."

"Fufufu"

"Why are you laughing so happy?"

"Today's a good day to say welcome back to oniichan a lot."

I see.

I was saddened that I had lost time with Rudy because of the bandits, but I was happy to hear Rudy's words.

"It's a good day for me to tell Rudy a lot of things now."

"Good, oniichan, I'd be happier if it were a good day."

I wanted to be stronger because one day Lutie would be traveling.

Now that the Demon King army has begun its invasion, that day will be a near future.

If that day comes, Routi will continue to fight unwanted battles for others.

I thought it was sad... but from that day on, I'll be able to stay with Rooty.

I'm just looking forward to it.

"I was cooking dinner for oniichan."

"Did Rudy make it for me?

"Yeah, oniichan worked hard outside, so I worked hard at home."

"I'm looking forward to it."

I'll be right back.

That day, Luti and I had a very pleasant dinner.

I'm going back to King's Landing the day after tomorrow, so I'll stay with Rootie all the time tomorrow.

Then a year and six months later.

The Demon King army finally arrives at Angel Village.

And that day will be the day of the journey of "The Brave" Luti.
