The “brave" of the kingdom I am in, the kingdom of Hendir.
I was surprised and convinced by the shock Rifa gave me. [M]
She knew my name faster than anyone else because she was chosen as a brave man and heard directly from the kingdom about her neighbor, Shishihara, and the man she was looking for.
But I was still upset.
No, no one will be able to keep calm here.
Even Shif is hardened by unexpected words.
"Wait here. I'll be back as soon as I finish my secondary exam."
"I need to talk to the Guild Leader," added Rifa, leaving the room with a suspicious Guild employee woman.
The rest of me sits in the seat where I was stunned and holds my head. [M]
At that time, let Schiff hear your conversation with Mr. Berse.
"What the hell is going on..."
"Cu...."
"I'm fine, Lime. I'm just a little confused."
I give back a powerless smile to the lime rubbing my body, caring for me in my head.
"But in a way, you've been good at it."
What is it?
"She's the real Rifa."
"Who is she? Have you ever been a hero?"
To my question, Shif shakes his head sideways. [M]
"I had a strange feeling from him. It's probably mixed up."
"Mixed? What do you mean?"
"The power of monsters is mixed with humans. I don't know if I was born or not... but the rough side I showed you during the exam was probably due to the fact that my impulse as a monster was unleashed in battle."
"... I thought you were a normal beast."
"I don't think you're mistaken. It looks like it belongs entirely to the Beast."
Could it be that Rifa is not a beast, but a man with the power of a monster?
It's not strange because it's different worlds, but it's not strange after all.
"Is it unusual for someone to have the power of a monster mixed with them?"
"I don't know, but I think it's unusual. After all, there is a monster's power in the body that conflicts with humans. I don't think they're there."
If so, is that why you hid your face?
She's not a beast, she's a monster. I shouldn't feel cheap, but I don't think I should be wrong all the time.
"---I knew you'd find out."
Ugh!
Sif and I tremble in that voice. [M]
After the interview, Rifa stood in front of the table and looked down at us.
"Is it over?"
"Yes, I also revealed to the Guild Leader that I am a brave man."
"... how did you react?"
"I was surprised. I was even more surprised when I talked about other things."
What the hell did I tell you?
It's not about me, is it?
From the flow, it feels like that.
So, can you tell me what you're talking about?
"Before that, tell me how much you know about me."
A leaf sitting opposite me.
To her words, I tell her what I know. [M]
"Not a beast, but a man with the power of a monster. All I know is that you're a brave man."
"... you're right, I was born with the power of a monster."
"By birth, one of your parents was some kind of monster?"
Shif reacts to Rifa's words.
"My parents are ordinary people. Maybe because there was a monster in my bloodline a long time ago, it might have made me a monster."
"Hmm, you mean the blood of monsters has been passed down from generation to generation. In other words, half-man and half-man?"
"Call me whatever you want."
Surprisingly, I'm not that interested in myself.
"Did you know my name because you were chosen as a brave man?"
"Yes. When I was summoned to the castle and told that I had the qualities to be a hero, I heard that the hero summoned in the neighboring country came from a different world. Together, I heard that there were people who were involved and summoned."
Did Shishihara-san's kingdom focus on finding me?
However, Sif talks to Rifa, wondering what happened there.
"Why are you looking for Kite?"
"... I heard that in less than three days since I was summoned, heroes from other worlds are growing unusually. Maybe they're flying us here in a neighboring country... so I thought I'd find them for my own purposes."
"No way, I didn't think you'd really find me," Rifa murmurs at me.
Were you looking for me other than me? [M]
If so, why was she taking the guild test? The brave men of the kingdom don't have to, but I feel like they're going in.
When asked that question, she distorts her mouth slightly.
"I'm immature as a warrior... I told the Queen to keep it a secret until she gained some experience and strength. I can learn how to handle my own powers in an alliance of talented people...."
"Is that to fix the rough way you fought Rick today?"
Rifa nods softly.
The battle with Rick was rough from my point of view, but it seemed reasonable anyway. [M]
However, once they attack, they attack as if the tag had fallen off.
"I don't know if I'm immature, but in battle... my powers as a monster inside me cannot be suppressed. My body moves on its own... and I just think about defeating them."
I can't control my strength.
Doesn't this child have the qualities of a brave man enough to understand how to treat him?
... as the castle people, does it feel like they're watching her grow?
"But when you were nearby, the power of the monsters inside me was surprisingly quiet."
"Me?"
"Yeah."
Pure magic?
Animals hate it, but it is a favorite magic for monsters, but did its secondary effect work on the referees?
"With you, I can fight without instinct."
Um...
"I can do my duty as a brave man."
"--- Wait."
When she keeps trying to throw words at me in trouble without knowing how to judge me, a siff splits between me and her.
Sif, the black cat, is staring at Rifa with more vigilance.
"Indeed, Kite's high-purity magic is pleasant for us monsters. It will also calm down the power of the demonic cunt. --But that's no reason to ask Kite for help."
"....."
Sif speaks in a tight tone, and Rifa reveals her agitation.
"Were you listening to Kate's conversation with the Guild Leader? I heard from Kite later, but it was supposed to be about moving Kite to the brave man in the neighboring country. Immediately after the conversation, pretending to ask Kate for help... meant that Kate had a reason to want her help anyway."
……
"Don't think you can use my Lord without saying anything. If you want to gain trust, tell me everything. Otherwise, we'll consider ourselves enemies."
"Cu...!"
As I noticed, even Lime slipped between me and Rifa, moving and intimidating her body.
From my point of view, Sif and Lime are more adorable to intimidate with their small bodies than to be scared, but it doesn't seem to be the case with the face-to-face Liefa.
"... it's true that I want to do something about my power. But as a brave man, it doesn't matter."
A leaf that murmured.
What do you mean the brave don't have anything to do with it?
Isn't heroism that important to her?
"I'm looking for my sister. The twin sisters who disappeared two years ago."
A leaf who hesitated to say so.
I wondered how much that word meant, and her expression seemed to be desperately pushing in the emotions coming from inside.
