"Once the braves have defeated the Demon King, they will soon return to their original world. So I was wondering if we in this world would have any interest, but he responded to my thoughts."

I remember the old days, Tina's face broke.

"You mean you've become a lover with that brave man?

"Yes, I managed to make love to him using all sorts of hands. The days of adventure with him since then are still the best memories in me. But the good times also ended with the defeat of the Demon King by his fellow brave men."

Tina's voice darkens.

"... can't a metastatic brave man make the choice of staying in this world?

"He did a lot of work, too, but it didn't seem like he could do anything about it"

The Transfer Brave seems to be forcibly sent back to the original world the moment he defeats the Demon King.

Tina removed the pendant from her neck and placed it on the table.

"This is something he made with special magic so that he could protect me. When the Demon King was defeated, he disappeared from this world. It's the last treasure he left me."

Once and for all, this pendant contains the magic of absolute defense that no matter what happens to the owner, he must be protected.

I feel so guilty for being such a precious and letting Tina use her thoughtful magic trick.

"Well, from here on out is why I admire Master Hurt. I believed that Hart was the rebirth of that brave man."

"What!?

─ ─ It doesn't.

Hart is the rebirth of the Shijo Yao man, because the Yao man has no experience of coming to this world as a brave man.

"Ten years ago, one day, I felt a child born into this world with the same magic as you."

"You mean me?

"Yeah, I'm still a good magic detector, and I can't possibly go wrong with his magic. So I searched for the baby and negotiated with the Count, who was his parent, to become Hart's squire."

I wonder if Tina should know I'm someone else. But I feel like I have to tell you now.

"Tina, I'm sorry, but I..."

"It's not that brave man. Isn't that right?

"... you knew"

"Yeah, five years ago, I somehow noticed someone else reincarnated into Master Hart's flesh. I wanted it to be you... but who else are you (...)?

"Oh, I'm certainly a reincarnator. But I don't remember ever coming to this world or having an adventure with Tina."

"Really, yeah, right? If he was born, he'd say something."

"Sorry."

"There is no need for Master Hart to apologize. To tell the truth, I was disappointed at first, too. Sometimes I wondered why it wasn't him. But seeing Master Hart do his magic training so hard every day, I began to overlap his shadow, who was doing everything he could."

Tina hugged me.

Wrapped up in a very good smell.

"I've been watching Master Hart. Before, I wish it was his reincarnation. But now I'm looking at Master Hart."

"... am I okay?

"Master Hart would be nice."

This Tina's words got me to my decision.

"Tina, I'm gonna be strong. More than that true brave man. So protect Tina and this world. The absolute defense pendant is broken, but I won't. I'll be the absolute defense shield to protect Tina from this world."

"Dear Hart..."

"So will you keep me (...) and (...) with you?

"Yes! I'll be with you all the time"

My goals in this world have been set.

Be strong.

Stronger than metastatic braves with cheat abilities.

Like the brave man Tina loved, strong enough to protect Tina and the world.

I can't level up because of the curse, but there's plenty I can do.

You will gain strength and be recognized by the world as a wise man.

Go for the strongest Wise Men of Level 1.

And be Tina's brave man.

─ ─ ─ ─

The next morning, when I woke up, Tina was gone.

"Good morning. Dear Hart."

─ And then I opened the door and Tina came into the bedroom.

"Breakfast is ready"

"Yeah, I'm coming now"

"Dear Hart, may I?

"Hmm?"

Tina kept her face close.

Something very soft hit my lips.

"Eh."

When I look at Tina, my cheeks are red.

"I'm a bummer, but thank you for coming. My brave man."

That's what Tina left the room for.

I kissed him.

With Tina.

Her lips were so soft.

Tina's face I saw nearby was so beautiful.

Tina was cute too, looking a little lit up.

Once again, I decided to be a brave man who could protect Tina.
