Master of the brave.

Winn and Leticia decided to stroll through the streets of the Imperial Capital when they had lunch and filled their stomachs.

Walk by chilling the dewstores selling accessories, peeking at dewstores selling accessories other than accessories, etc.

In the meantime, the two found a large tent in a square different from the central square.

The tent is so big that it fits perfectly as long as it's about the size of a lodging in there, even if you just stare at it.

"What is that?

"Could it be some kind of spectacle? Want a peek?

Speaking of which, Leticia recalls that the lovers who were sitting next to her at the store earlier said so.

A large crowd gathers at the entrance to the tent.

Apparently it was the tent of a troupe playing a play while traveling.

"The act... What!?

Leticia speaks up after reading a performance written on a sign put up in front of the entrance.

"What's the matter with you?

"Eh, that's" The Sadness of the Prisoner Prince and the Beautiful Brave - Confronting the Wicked Wizard! ~ 'It's an act... "

"- The sadness of a captive prince and a beautiful brave man...?

"A story is usually a classic way for a prince to save a captive princess..."

"Is this beautiful brave man, after all, about Letty?

The two face each other silently.

Your play is apparently a big one.

The popularity of Mavis, the brave man who defeated the Demon King, is overwhelming even among ordinary people.

"Somehow, I knew there were a lot of stories made about me, but when I actually saw it this way, I was a little embarrassed..."

I dive in my voice so I can't hear my surroundings and whisper to Winn.

"Is that true, too? I'm a little interested..."

Winn stares jiggly at the letters written on the sign.

"... what do we do? You don't mind if I peek, do you?

(Brother, maybe you care about the place "sad love"?

I'm so glad if Winn thinks that someone called Leticia and her prince has fallen in love and she's jealous of me for that.

Most of all, those things are never going to happen.

"If your brother wants to see it, let's see it. It's been a long time since I've had a play."

"Right. It's a story. I'm interested in seeing Letty as a brave man."

When they lined up in a queue that was made in front of the entrance, they bought tickets and went into the tent.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Though much could have been predicted from the number of people lining up in the queue outside, there were large numbers of people in the tent overflowing with packing enthusiasm.

There was a stage in the front when I came in, and a cloth lay on one side of the floor on its front.

Guests can sit in thoughtful places and watch the play.

Winn and Leticia could also find an empty place.

Apparently, they have restrictions on admission, so I didn't have to feel cramped.

"Wow, that's very popular."

"I was a little surprised. Looking forward to it."

Guest seats are already full.

Everyone is looking forward to the start of the play, now or now.

Inside the tent there was enthusiasm due to expectations of the play.

"Brother, it looks like it's going to start"

Guest seats were closed to darkness when the magical light source that was illuminating the tent disappeared simultaneously.

and at the same time only the stage is illuminated brightly.

Apparently, there are multiple magicians in this troupe.

Looks like a pretty big troupe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting! Ladies and gentlemen of Shimrug, the Imperial capital, it's been a year. Welcome to the Le Rooms Troupe!

Behind the stage, when the man from the captain who came out of the darkness gives a bowl of grace, there will be great cheers and applause as the air vibrates billibly.

"What we are about to lead you to is the story of Mavis, the brave man you all know, when he confronted an evil exorcist in a certain kingdom and saved a prince who was brilliantly imprisoned. Now, gentlemen, please indulge and enjoy your journey into the world in a temporary story!

Once on the front porch of the regiment leader, Shin, and a quiet guest seat were again wrapped in applause and cheer.

And when the curtain came up, the play began.

The content of the play is that Mavis, the brave man petitioned by the king at one hair, rescues an evil wicked wizard who kidnapped a prince of a kingdom, where he performed the ritual of the resurrection of the evil god who sacrificed the prince and sought to overthrow the royal family and rule the kingdom.

The prince, rescued at the height of his absolute destiny, falls in love at first sight with the poor brave man and applies for marriage, but the brave man chooses to part with the heavy destiny of having to save the world.

In a scene where Mavis, a brave man played by a beautiful actress, and an evil magician (who was the chairman of a single seat) confront each other, the stage was effectively enlivened by the light and sound magic performed by a single magician, and Winn was also accidentally drawn into the world of stories.

And from the courtship of a rescued prince played by a beautifully shaped actor, a scene where brave men continue to grip in the narrow between love and mission.

The two swinging minds were painted by the actors' emotional festivities, so much so that inspiring sobbing could be heard from all over the guest seat.

The prince rescued the princess, the royal road development of the story, and the two were not meant to be sworn together for eternal love, but content that still struck me very hard, although there was a slight difference between the side where the brave man is saved in a woman: the prince.

Moreover, it shook the hearts of the guests all the more that the two were the end of a sad love that they would never be united and would be separated.

Eventually, when the play was over and the curtain was down, huge applause and cheer were presented to the actors of the troupe.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Letty, is it really what happened to the play I just saw?

Winn spoke to Leticia walking next door as she walked along the stream of people returning satisfied after watching the play.

"Yeah, I wonder if they're mostly foot-colored..."

The protagonist, Mavis the Brave - his contemporaries, Leticia, tilts his neck and answers.

"There was no such thing as talking about love with a prince. In the first place, it was Liara who was about to be sacrificed at this time."

"Liara?"

"Liara Sain. Sister who was one of mine. So I'm not in love, and don't worry about it, okay? Brother!"

"Oh, what's peace of mind..."

"Hehe..."

Looking up at Winn's face, which turned slightly red as he scratched his cheeks, Leticia saw him laugh small, and Winn stroked Leticia's head slightly raggedly in the light.

"But, you know, just because it wasn't the prince who was about to be sacrificed, it was Liara, that the contents of this play were really what happened, right?

"It is."

"But you're also distorted to be an evil wizard. He was actually a very good man, a very sad man..."

Leticia, who turned off her smile, is stained with deep colors so that only her eyes look somewhere far away.

"May I ask what he was like?

"... right. It's going to be a long story, so let's go into the store and have some tea."

The two enter looking for an affordable tea shop.

I got excited about watching the play for one second, so I moisten my thirst with tea.

"The play was actually connected to the birth of the Demon King."

"Demon King!?

And Leticia speaks up.

It will continue to be a legend and a true story that only the person who ran through the world of stories as a brave man knows -.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

- It was about forty years ago to go back in time.

In the northern part of the Alfana continent there was a small kingdom named Sein.

Almost all year, it is a country where much of the national territory has been covered by snow.

A country that makes fine crops over short springs and summers, ships out to the goats, sheep, and the sea to take fish, taken together and without industry.

A poor country that eats dried fish, meat and preserved vegetables in long and harsh winters, sometimes with frozen and starving deaths, but just endures spring coming.

Surrounded by spiritual peaks Severes and harsh mountains, in winter the harbour and freezing and other poor transport routes are the kingdoms to such an extent that they are ignored due to the ambitions of the great powers located in the south.

But the travellers who went to this country said, with their mouths shut.

- Proud kingdom, Sain.

To survive the harsh natural environment, people were nowhere near thinking about strife.

We could not live without supporting each other and working together.

That is no exception with the royalty of this country.

The king, himself, stood at the head of the people to plow the fields and graze them.

For the people of this country, royalty is by no means a man on the cloud, if you will say so, the great black pillar of the family.

He was like a father.

But all of the people honored the royalties of this country, who together felt very familiar.

Melvic IV, a young king with the title of [Kensei], a dragon killer hero in particular, was a proud king for his people.

In his poor financial situation, he invested sparingly for the people the money saved little by little by generations of kings.

They sent promising young people to foreign schools one after another.

"I don't have the resources. No crops either. Therefore, we cannot develop the industry.

It's an endless country without, but it still has wealth to be proud of.

Those are the people of our country. Smart people who can withstand the harshness and nature.

People, learn!

Now, our country is a small and weak country on the border, but we rise to the great power with the power of men. Grow a wealth of people with learning and knowledge!

Politics, Economics, Religion, Architecture, Metallurgy, Archaeology, History, Architecture, Agriculture, Water Treatment, Spiritualists

It sent young people into all fields of learning, magic engineering and all kinds of fields.

And they spread the knowledge that they had brought back to the people.

Literacy rate improved.

Using the power of the Spirit in conjunction with magic, it succeeded in increasing crop yields until they exploded.

It also produces one high-quality tool after another, comparable to the ancient magic tools that are excavated from the ruins by magic engineering that imports and independently develops resources from foreign countries.

export and moistened the national treasury.

On the periphery, the small poor countries, which were likely to be forgotten by the people, built up their mingling power within a short period of just over a decade.

And finally, a big country that was targeting scholars, engineers and bordering on the border invaded.

From youth to grandeur, and hanging on to old age, the king fought with the magic sword he had created in his own country.

In this small country, the king himself must take the lead in the fight.

But the opponent is a neighbor counted as one of the continental powers.

The foreign countries anticipated the loss of the Kingdom of Sein.

But...

It was the Kingdom of Sein who overthrew the predictions and won.

Harnessing the interests of a land called the harsh mountains, the King himself, a dragon killer hero, took the lead and inspired.

The knights and soldiers of the high kingdom of Sein overwhelmed their neighbors, who prevailed in numbers.

In addition, the people from the Kingdom of Sein, scattered in various foreign countries, supported them from behind.

who are at the heart of a leading chamber of commerce.

Or those who have their own chambers of commerce.

He who took office in a foreign country and was born, and received the title.

They poured in the enormous sums of money they had saved, as sparingly as hot water for their distant fatherland.

The Royal Sein Army, dressed in powerful equipment with magical powers and forged in harsh terroirs by unprecedented and abundant funding, even said to have been screamed by the minister in charge of finance without running out.

They were undoubtedly strong enough to be counted as the strongest corner of the continent.

In just a few months, on the contrary, the neighbouring country, which was attacked by the Wang capital, surrendered.

The King's capital of the Kingdom of Sein rejoiced in the victory.

The people greeted with cheer Melvic IV, who decided to win and returned to the country one foot away.

The day of the fold was the birthday of the princess, a grandson of Melvic IV.

To be precise, Melvic IV returned home just in time for his birth.

Melvic IV, along with the queen he married as his late wife, was waving from the balcony of the royal palace to the gathered people from all over the country to celebrate the victory of the war and the birth of the young princess.

In the arms of the samurai girl, the newborn princess laughs cackly as she stretches her puffy arms to heaven.

The Kingdom of Sein was precisely at the height of its prosperity, when, together with the royal family, to which everyone admired, it dreamed of happiness to tomorrow and cheered - when a faint flash emanated from the body of Melvic IV and attacked the people.

The Kingdom of Sein has perished.

Only a few survived.

(Unable to protect His Majesty, only the eagle survived...)

At the time of the demise of the Kingdom of Sein, he was still a young man, and now he was already about to go into old age.

At a young age of late teens, he was called a genius who graduated in magic with a chairman at a university in Emerdia, unable to protect the great-great-grace Melvic IV.

As a court magician, I refrained from being right on the side of Melvic IV, but could only see the king transformed into something (...) in front of me.

From his presence, which was Melvic IV, a vast amount of power swelled up - he put up a barrier at once.

I got stretched out. Because of genius...

When the flash subsided and he noticed, there were only piles of debris left around.

I don't see anyone alive - no, the newborn princess who sleeps with Suyasuya in the wrap in the arms of the samurai girl he attracted aggressively.

He seemed to shelter a samurai holding a princess unconsciously.

He himself had lost his left arm and left leg.

He healed with simple healing magic, and took the princess with a few survivors who remained only a few, leaving his country, which has become a land of death.

Then I learned that the presence that entered that body of Melvic IV was the legendary Demon King.

From then on, he devoted everything to destroying the Demon King.

He examined all literature from the East and West now, examined weapons to be excavated from all ancient sites, and also conducted studies that were considered contraindicated.

And more than thirty years pass...

(Your Majesty. The eagle is already older than His Majesty then. But it was worth the wait. necessarily, let His Majesty go and let him see it)

Floating in a man's mouth is a laugh of joy.

The results of the research piled up before him - it's just crazy stuff if a regular person sees it.

The extremes that genius was finally able to reach by reaching forbidden means after crazy and falling into the outer path.

I have no regrets.

What dwells in a man's eyes is a clear and ruthless strong will everywhere, not madness.

With a finite body called Man, it was necessary to abandon everything to challenge the immeasurable being of the Demon King.

(Hang everything now -!)

I took a long time to prepare the magic formation.

We prepared a rare catalyst, made a friendly sacrifice, and also performed pre-rituals for spell chanting.

And prepared a girl to be sacrificed.

The girl is inherently the mainstay for the man, but she had to sacrifice herself to accomplish her purpose.

And then, activate the magic formation.

So it is possible to destroy the Demon King and free the beloved Melvic IV.

At that time.

Later, one girl stood before a man who raised his face just to chant a spell.

"Where did you come from, little girl? There must have been some apprentices and escorts here?

"I'm sorry, but I let you sleep"

"Who is it? Kisama..."

In a trembling voice, the man questioned the girl's name.

No, the truth is, the man knew about the girl.

I was ready to fight the Demon King.

The man was able to touch both the position and the hidden information.

You will reach her presence every step of the way in the process of examining it.

A neat face by the horror.

Golden hair, still about one or two out of ten. Age you can call a child in the public.

And by the magic overflowing from his whole body, he was glowing pale and golden.

"Mavis."

Brave Mavis.

"You... you!

"I'm here to stop you"

"Stop it!? You! You mean stop this weasel!

The man exclaimed as he squeezed his voice away.

"Why now? How could it be now! Why..."

I have seen frustration and despair many times.

Studying enough to spit blood, the Demon King barely even stood his teeth in the high-ranking Demon clan under his command.

I was insanely worried, and finally got my hands on contraindications.

I abandoned people's hearts.

Such a man - in front of the brave girl, the bully and everything, cried and cried without a lid, and yelled and scattered.

"Why! How could it be more! More!

I really knew.

That's something I can't help but tell the girl who is a brave man.

Because there's nothing she can do about it.

Still, the man had to say.

"How could you not be born sooner..."

Crying.

Signs of being released from a girl who is a brave man.

That day - the opposite of the signs I felt from Melvic IV.

Now, the force to the overwhelming point where the dimension doesn't even take a pull.

- A brave man is one who exchanges against a demon king.

Now, there was undoubtedly a presence before the man to arm himself with the Demon King.

"How could... more, faster... Huh!

Collapse, man gets both hands on.

"I can't turn back anymore. I've already... sacrificed a lot. Do you want me to waste it? Waste of time..."

Hearing the man's monologue, the girl's eyes shake slightly, a brave man who had lived in a pitiful light until then.

"I can turn back. Surely what you've done is never forgiven. But mistakes can be made right. I can atone for my sins. You don't have to sin any more."

A girl who is a brave man talks.

"I... tried to sacrifice even those I had to protect myself. A sinful being with many lives in his hands. Such a eagle wish... could you please listen? Can I entrust it to you?

Wet faces in tears, the man looks up at a brave man his own grandson's age.

"Can you save his soul?

"It's okay. I'll try to save everything."

Hearing the words, the man cried out without merit.

With a tear of remorse and joy...

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Leaving the shop where she was drinking tea, Wynn sent Leticia to the dorm where she lived.

Leticia at the parting really enjoyed it, she had a very beautiful smile on her face.

And Winn doesn't go straight back to his own room in the Knights School dorm and is walking down the main street in Imperial City again.

The sun had already set on the other side of the horizon, overflowing the streets of the city that had begun to twilight with people returning to their homes or to their temporary places of abode.

The restaurant that serves food is crowded with guests pounding their tongues on the dishes with a cup of liquor in one hand to close the day.

I can't get the story Leticia told out of Winn's mind.

The spectacular life of a man who has stayed with the Demon King at the moment of his birth, losing the Lord and his homeland, and who has been unluckily survived.

The past of Liara Sain, even called [Virgin], who supported Leticia's journey and made her do many miracles.

And Winn couldn't find a word for the brave Leticia Van Mavis' - harsh journey he had taken over four years since his childhood familiarity broke up - with only a few glimpses of what was carried on his back.

I guess there's a Leticia figure as a brave man I don't know yet.

Leticia had a slightly troubled grin, either because she had made the scene heavy with her story.

But when we broke up,

"It was fun, brother!

I gladly waved to Winn and dropped off Leticia, who had returned to her own room in the girls' dorm, hoping that she would never again have the chance to wave her strength as a brave man.

(Also, let's go see a bunch of things together. Because there must still be a fun side to the world that Leticia doesn't know)
