"Hello"

The woman who came into the room greeted her calmly, with a gentle grin.

He feels calm.

It has a soft atmosphere and a gentle smile fits well.

Am I as old as I am?

No, about one or two up there?

The glowing golden hair as the sun's light had been gathered was long and stretched to her waist.

They are put together in thin, long ribbons for easy movement.

Tall for a woman, not much like me.

You can see that you are well worn and forged.

Do you value ease of movement, armor is just a light thing to guard the steeple.

I'm wearing a cape on top of it.

And... on my back, there's a shield of truth.

"Er...?

"Hello"

Confused, he greeted me again.

So I return it to me.

I don't know what a woman is, but this one is rude if she doesn't respond to that, too, beyond being greeted.

"Hello"

"Yes."

Returning her greeting, the woman grinned, feeling somewhere happy.

"Are you Mr. Rain Shroud?

"Ah, yes. Are you...?

"Nice to meet you. I'm Chiffon Knox. Feel free to call me Chiffon."

"Chiffon......?

Chiffon's fine.

"... Chiffon?

"Yeah. Nice to meet you, Mr. Shroud"

Chiffon bowed with a pepper and rushed to bow this one as well.

I don't know... someone with a unique vibe.

If you're aware, you're swallowed up at her pace.

"You can talk about me, too, Laine."

"Then... with you, Rayne"

Copy that.

You know, it was kind of awkward.

"Suddenly, I'm sorry. But I really wanted to say hi to you, Rayne."

"Greetings? Sorry. I can't swallow the situation..."

"Oh, right. If I do, don't give me a proper explanation... no. Because once you decide to do this, you'll stick around too much. I..."

"Master Chiffon."

I was just about to give an explanation, and Mr. Kayes showed up.

You look like you're in a hurry.

"You were at Mr. Rain's, weren't you? All of a sudden, I'm surprised you're gone..."

"I'm sorry, Rayne. When I heard you were here, I couldn't stand it."

"It's not forbidden for the two of you to face each other... but we haven't been officially notified about Master Chiffon yet, so what's not to behave very lightly..."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry. But this is how we looked at each other, so we had no choice anymore, right?

"Not at all... are you a convicted criminal"

"Go ahead."

Mr. Kaise shrugged his shoulders, and Chiffon made him laugh like a child.

At first, he seemed calm, but some of it seemed childish.

"Excuse me. It's time for you to explain, I'd appreciate it..."

"Oh, yeah. Sorry, stick around"

Chiffon corrects his posture and introduces himself again.

"I'm Chiffon Knox. He's the brave next generation."

――――――――――

Chiffon acted as an adventurer until not long ago.

A veteran who reached A-rank at a young age of only twenty.

By the way, he had two names: 'Golden Blade'.

Helps weakness and screws evil.

That's what they used to call it because they were remarkably active in embodying those words.

Such a chiffon will one day be recalled to the King's Capital.

He was summoned by King Argus.

Could I be promoted to the S-rank of my dreams?

Or were you unknowingly doing something that would touch the king's scales?

Half the anticipation, half the anxiety, Chiffon went to Wang Capital.

And... Argus asked me to be the next brave man.

Too unexpectedly, at the time, Chiffon fainted, not standing too surprised.

It's too embarrassing a case.

I want to completely erase my memory if I can, but I still can't forget it, and it's firmly engraved in the back of my brain as the black history of Chiffon.

After returning it to me...

Chiffon was briefed by Argus.

Arios, a former brave man, was stripped of his title after causing a fatal problem.

That there is not only one person who can be a brave man, but several, present.

That one of them is a chiffon.

I got that explanation.

Chiffon is an A-rank adventurer.

Strength is impeccable, given that it will grow even further in the future.

Its character is straight, and if you find someone in need, you can't help it.

He also gave me the assessment that he had no complaints about his personality.

Therefore, his name was given as the next brave man.

Chiffon, who heard such a story... fainted again.

There's no way that I'm going to be chosen as the next brave man.

Yes, this is a dream.

It must be a dream.

With that in mind, I let go of consciousness.

Of course, there's no such thing as dreams...

After Chiffon returned it to me, Argus proceeded.

As a brave man, I want you to embark on a journey whose purpose is to crusade the Demon King.

I will spare no support for that.

No matter, there is no imposition.

For one thing, wouldn't you think about it for a week or so?

Having heard such a story, Chiffon replied on the spot.

If it's okay with me......

Chiffon is a woman with a strong sense of justice.

A certain circumstance led me to have the idea that evil was inexcusable, and thus, an adventurer who could relate to and help a variety of people.

The Demon King, who threatens people's peace, is nothing but 'evil'.

If it's a mission to discuss it, I'll be happy to take it on.

This body, this soul.

Even if it decays, at the end of the day, I will always try to accomplish my mission.

Chiffon told Argus that…

And a new brave man was born.

――――――――――

"... I see"

When I heard how Chiffon became a brave man, I was convinced.

It hasn't been long since we met...

Sure, this guy seems to have a strong sense of justice.

Unlike Arios, he seems worthy as a brave man.

Because there was a failure called Arios...

In order not to repeat the same mistakes, the candidates must have been made with caution.

As a result, Chiffon was chosen.

I can't say anything easy...

I want Chiffon to be a fine brave man, as everyone admits.

"Since I became a brave man, with my people, I'm going to have a lot of good luck. I've had more busy days than adventurers, but I've also enriched them."

"What's that gear?

"The legendary equipment that the former brave men were collecting, they were kept tight, so I could have it. Initially, it was thought that the traitor knight had stolen it, just in case the king kept the real thing somewhere else."

"I mean, did the female knight get a fake?"

"That sort of thing"

That's right, he's a king with no loose eyes.

"By the way, what's that lady knight...?

"Monica, that's who I am."

"Again, that name..."

That name's on the table in a lot of places, and don't make connections in a lot of places.

My head hurts.

Share your information with Chiffon...

You should also report back to the guild later.

"By the way, any other gear?

"The other gear got a little greedy because I got a lot of support"

Chiffon said so with his tongue out all the way back.

Though I had a calm impression at first...

When I talked to him like this, he felt so casual.

"By the way, why to Krios?

"Heard the stampede is occurring continuously. Sounds like he was actually just gonna send in the Knights, but it doesn't matter what you think about the stampede more often, does it? I thought it was my turn, so I said I couldn't."

"You were... awesome"

"Huh? What?

"Because I know a lot about the former brave man, it seems like Chiffon's actions are outrageously great..."

"haha......"

They know some about Arios, and Chiffon laughed bitterly.

"But it didn't seem like my turn. Rayne, you were working it out."

"Bad. I didn't mean to sidestep the handle..."

"Yeah, there's nothing to worry about. I don't care about the handles. More than that, I wonder if I'm happy that the people of Krios have been saved."

Chiffon said so with a very clear grin.

From the bottom of my heart, I think I'm thinking about the people of this city.

If there is a Virgin, is she like her?

"So, uh... this is how I came to say hello to you today, Rayne, for a reason."

"Why?"

"Uh, the... can you sign it for me?!?

When Chiffon turned his previous attitude around, he sparkled his eyes and offered him colored paper and a pen.
