"Felid! I didn't expect you to defeat the SS Ranked Monster!

"Oh no, I didn't expect a brave man from our village!

"I'm so happy! I'm so happy! Be sure to attend the party tonight as the main character in this village!

"You're our pride!

"I knew you'd do it one day!

SS Rank Bahamut Crusade.

It was immediately informed by the confirmation of the country and the direct arrival of the goddess Mokoshi-sama.

Felid will be a brave man, and his hometown will be welcomed from all over the country, of course.

It is the achievement that Felid has always wanted to be recognized by others.

Even the childhood acquaintances who were so far away from him approached Felid like close friends.

Towards the capital, a large number of adventurers and brave qualifiers who had previously been ignored speak up and take a gentle attitude.

When asked, many of them treated Felid like a friend.

However, when they arrived at their preferred position, Felid noticed the shallow emotions of those who approached him.

"Felid, actually, I need a favor. Recently, a dangerous monster appeared near the village. Can you do something about it? Hey, it must be nice in the same village."

"Felid, if you don't mind coming to our party? Just because you're a brave man at the party, we're gonna get noticed."

"Felid, I'm actually aiming for a hero, but I don't really get the points. Would you mind teaming up with me and splitting the record a little? Now that you've become a brave man, don't you need any more brave points?

"It's Felid. Would you like to come to this castle banquet next time? Not only that, but I also want to give you the title of nobility. I don't mean to be a substitute, but if you don't mind living in this castle for the protection of our country?

Oh, I see.

Having become a brave man, Felid finally found out.

That getting people to admit it was just complacency.

I want to make friends. To achieve this, we gain a social status and position.

But when you're in that position, nothing makes you a real friend.

A lot of things rub against a high status self and try to use that position.

He finally realizes such a natural thing by going there.

But that's not all he felt wrong about.

By becoming a "brave man," the people of this country gave up on aiming for a "brave man."

With Felid, we can handle it.

"He defeated the SS Rank alone."

"He'll be fine by himself."

"We can spend some time together and ask him for anything."

"He's a hero. I was born brave."

Evolution of the world. In order to do that, people must grow on their own.

But Felid reached one of the goals of the world, the Dauntless, and everyone else “gave up."

If there's one brave man in the country, that's enough.

Felid has stalled the evolution of the country and, no, of the world for his own shallow ends.

People ask Felid to remain brave.

Ferido, who was asked for it, cannot refuse it.

Because it was he who chose this path.

Above all, he became a valiant man by paying a great price: Mime.

Then I can't easily discard this position where I became a hero.

Above all, what people want. That should have been what I wanted.

And even though Felid was a mighty man, he continued to fight alone.

Let people ask you, let them rely, and let them throw you away.

What have you fought for?

What made you a brave man?

A man who has lost his purpose returns to his original self.

It was still when I was laughing. I remember when I was happy.

What was that?

It was when I lived in the woods with Mime and the monsters who adored her before I was a hero.

The people of the village despised me and had no human friends.

Still, Felid was happy at the time.

There was a warm "family".

I wasn't alone, but I had friends called monsters.

And why did he abandon it and leave?

The answer is simple.

Because I couldn't stand the gaze and voice of people around me.

If you are a human, you should have a human friend.

Living with monsters and witches is unusual. That's funny.

Because I can't stand such a so-called public voice anymore.

At last Felid's own weakness did not have the courage to sit there.

Oh, my God.

As a brave man, Felid realized his weakness.

Felid, who visited the woods of his native home, the hut where he once lived with Mime, saw a decaying abandoned house.

Once there were no monsters gathered there, and now the moment I saw myself covered in monster blood, the monsters in the forest did not approach as one.

So Felid travels a long way alone.

There is no purpose.

Even if you become a brave man at the expense of Mime, you can't grow the world.

There is no longer any point in trying by yourself.

In that case, he meets Kyo.

What was there was a life with a monster that Felid had once abandoned.

He was laughing in such a life. I looked happy. Above all, there were friends around him.

Oh, what an envy.

This person has become something he could not be.

There was more dazzling sight than being a brave man.

Then, after breaking up with Kyo, Felid met Semargul, who was considered the guardian of the goddess.

He said.

Kew growth is the best way to grow the world.

He and those around him hold the key.

When he heard that, Felid realized that it was his turn to be like Mime.

For the evolution of the world, and above all for his role as a brave man, Felid asked for it.
