On the way home, the entrance to town is kind of noisy.

There is a crowd on the road and something seems to be waiting to pass.

I want to ask someone what it is, but no one will tell me from what I've heard.

Well, I passed by saying it had nothing to do with me. Arrow tip, I heard a loud cheer from behind.

Looking back in surprise, what was there was a line called the brave man now rumored to be.

"Oh... I see"

The brave man I wanted to be.

His face was filled with confidence, and his figure was picturesque just by walking. Anything. He seems to use great magic.

My buddies seemed pretty good, and they were now attracting the attention of the world.

Such a brave man is asked by everyone to shake his hand, responding to a cheer that won't stop ringing.

I honestly didn't want to see it.

Because I'm just gonna be miserable.

I wish I knew enough with the information paper, but I think what would happen if I was in front of you?

"Why am I..."

I guess I'm incompetent.

You don't have to be a brave man. I wish I could at least use magic normally.

If so, even with Asna. Maybe......

At that time the brave man was stopping unexpectedly and speaking to one woman.

I don't know why.

There was just vague anxiety and strange chest noise.

And I was stunned when I approached the distance I could hear the conversation.

The brave man was talking to...... Asuna.

"I knew it was you... sorry for all of a sudden, could you join me?

"What? Wah, is that me?

"Oh, yeah. I feel so powerful from you. [M] I was led this far by that power. Let's go together."

Ugh, you're lying... why Asuna...?

Sure, Asuna's magic is amazing, and she's the best user in this town.

That's why, why would a brave man go out of his way to solicit you until you get to this town?

How the hell do you know about Asna?

Brave and Asna talk intimately.

I never saw Asuna's happy face like that.

So, but Asna should care about me...

Plus he said he liked this town, and he hasn't decided to go yet.

It's okay, I'm sure it's okay.

But behind my thoughts like that, Asuna's cheeks staring at the brave were clearly reddish, staring at the brave with her moist eyes with a tranced look on her face.

Stop it...... don't look brave on my face like that!

When Asuna's gone, I...!

"Yes! Please!

A, Asna......

"Good! I knew Lilith's detective magic was amazing. I can't believe I'm meeting someone with such great magic."

"It's not natural. Who do you think I am?"

"Ha! Yeah, you did. Oh, I'm sorry. I still didn't say hello. My name is Roy. They call me a brave man, but I'm still in training. Let's stick together!

"Wow, my name is Asna! Best wishes! Ah, ahhh! I don't care if you see my parents..."

Please don't...

"Sure. We'll have to talk about it later."

"It's okay. Because if anything happens, I'll protect you."

"Thank you very much! I want to dream...... I'll do my best!

Looks so happy......

"Shall we go then? Guys, again!

The whole town was blessed.

I can't stop applauding and cheering.

All I could do was stand up on the spot.

――――――――――――――――――――――

I was at home when I realized it.

Apparently, he was walking home before he knew it.

I don't care about anything anymore.

If it was a dream, I'd ask you to wake up. It was me, but that's when I saw the braves and Asuna coming out of the house next door and talking to each other for fun.

I knew it... it was real.

"Then we leave tomorrow. Get ready."

"Yes! I get it"

"See you later."

The brave men are leaving.

Asuna stared at it with sparkling eyes.

I've never seen that look.

Don't show that smile to the guy who just had it today that I've never seen...

I glanced at Asuna, and I noticed this one. Asuna and I met each other.

He rushes over here as usual.

With a full smile that's not always the same.

"Hey Lord! Listen to me. It's amazing! Me, I was invited to a brave man's party!

Already......

"Oh, oh... that's right. That's amazing, I'm glad."

"I'm surprised! All of a sudden you stopped right in front of me! Would you like to be one of us? 'Cause it's cool!

Forgive me......

"Congratulations, Asna. Asuna will make it... good luck."

"Yeah! Thanks Lord! Oh, good luck with the load. Bye."

That's what Asna said and went back home.

Don't look back.

Oh...... I just noticed.

Stupid. I am.

For Asuna, I...

――――――――――――――――――――――

He lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

My support will be gone tomorrow.

I'm sure you'll soon forget about me or something.

"I don't like it... but..."

Sad or painful or regrettable, she was the only emotion in my life dominated by such emotions that made me happy.

If she's happy with the support she's had so far, that's fine now.

God must have rewarded her for being so nice to me.

So let's laugh and drop it off.

And someday I'll use my magic too...

"Asuna, please!

"I'm not careful! There's a brave man out there, all right?

"Haha! Indeed!"

"Thanks guys! I'll do my best!

I could hear the blessing coming from the house of Asuna next door, either because I had the window open.

Apparently it's a farewell party today.

Let me join you from here.

I hear a pleasant voice in Shigera for the time being, and a laugh overflowing with Asuna's delight.

Gradually I couldn't hear it and apparently the party was open.

One by one, Asna's friends are talking about something at the front door with the last one as they go home.

Apparently the closest best friend.

I guess I'm sparing you a goodbye.

"But I'm really glad - before he does anything weird."

That guy...?

"Being near incompetence makes you incompetent, doesn't it? Don't you know?

Oh... you mean me...

Incompetence... that's what they say.

Well... you've been good to me no matter what you know around.

It really helped me to have Asuna. Thanks.

"Mm-hmm. Just the face. That incompetence. So I guess it feels like feeding? I mean, I'm really motivated to see that bottom line, I'm glad this didn't happen! Isn't that right? That's why I'm thanking you."

... Huh? Yes, Asuna now... Huh?

Hey, wait a minute... give me...

My heart hurts.

What is this... what is this!

I don't know. I don't know!

"Uh... I see. If I wasn't incompetent, I'd be a hot face. But I can't be incompetent. 'Cause you're not a person."

"I said I know! Ma, I won't see you again and I don't care. He died when I was gone. Wouldn't anyone be sad? He said he'd lost that incompetence."

Ah... oh...!

"You bet! I mean, I wish I'd died soon. Sure, I don't want to be, so I'm going to try my best, but I'm actually blind."

"Sure. Oh, but you could really die, right? My face was dead when I told him I was going with the brave man. I'm so desperate to laugh! Sounds like you misled me."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

"No, that makes me laugh. But you, when you stop in front of the brave, don't you?

"I know. Yo! Oh, speaking of which, later..."

There was no salvation in this world, from the beginning.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Let's make it here.

Outside of town, this dead ancient well has not been used for decades. If you go in here, no one will notice you and you will die.

Nobody would care, like she said where she died. But I want to die so they don't notice me from the start.

I just wanted to die without thinking about what anyone who saw my body would think, etc.

There is no hope in this world.

The sad look she had on me.

I had a lid on my consciousness that didn't happen, but I realized that if I think back often, there was.

He did have sad eyes.

However... my mouth was slightly loose.

That is a mockery.

Eyes on poor creatures.

I couldn't stand the truth anymore.

Give me a dagger on my hips and I'll go inside the well.

Sometimes water is gushing out again, although it was said to be a dead ancient well.

Anyway, I want to die for sure.

Hiddenly, he uses a dagger at the bottom of the well to kill himself.

Proceed downward with your hands and feet supporting your body.

There was no light at all in the well, and that darkness was just my life itself.

It's a good place to die.

"Ah!?

I fell to the bottom of the well when the stone I was putting my hands on suddenly came off, out of balance and slipped my legs.

"Gu..."

He was still quite tall, and although he fell off his leg, he fell and hit him in the head hard.

Same darkness whether you close your eyes or open them.

I was feeling blood coming from my head.

Gradually, the sensation of the hands and feet disappears, and more and more power falls out of the body.

Oh...... die.

What a meaningless life it really was.

Just vain, no salvation......

"I regret... hey..."

Tears and blood wet my face.

Gradually my consciousness became distant and I assimilated to darkness.
