119 ◇ The words of a brave man

"You..."

Lily trying to stop Reis reflexively, I control with my hands.

It is certainly difficult to grasp the situation with one eye.

But this Race is helping the victim and punishing the perpetrator.

"Why are you stopping? It's too dangerous, like magic in children's fights."

Exactly. Lily is right. I say with a voice that only she can hear.

"... he's [brave]"

"Become -!?...! of the lake...... What is this..."

"Boy."

I give him a voice.

"I'm taking it in right now. It's floating. I'm passing through. I'll explain the rest later."

Reyce's description is concise. I don't even look this way.

"Ha, help me! This guy's suddenly got me. - Whoa!

A boy floating in space with wind magic increases his altitude even further. If this is any more, it will cross the height of the surrounding buildings. You must be under tremendous terror.

"Wait, wait. Don't you think it's strange to help me? I did hear that, didn't I? Take the kid there, push him against the wall, take his wallet away, you said." If you don't like it, go against it "or" It's your fault you're weak ". Look, if you don't like it, turn it against yourself."

"Yu, forgive me!

"What? What do you forgive? You're not guilty, are you? Because it's bad to be weak. The only thing that's bad is the kid there, not your theory. Oh, or are you talking about now? But isn't that strange? You attacked him without forgiving his weakness. Why do you think you can just be nice to yourself?

"Oh, it's me, because I was bad!

"I know. It's your fault. I made a mess of that, and if I made a mess of it, I wouldn't have it. The worst part is that logic. If it's bad to be weak, it's right to be strong. If you think so, be thorough. If you put a guy stronger than you in front of you, you're a jerk that you're bad for no questions asked, idiot. You resisted first, didn't you? I hate people who change their way of life."

And Reis solves the wind magic.

"What, ah, ah, ah, ah!?

The boy falls. To be drawn to the ground. And on the verge of a clash.

Fluffy floated again, pounding to the ground.

"Above all, abuse and purse thieves are bad things," he said.

On the boy's trousers, black stains spread. I seem to have incontinent with too much fear.

Reyce takes the cyph the boy stole and returns it to the child of the still grumpy victim.

"You don't have to be scared of such a leaky bastard. If anything happens again, I'll be in this city for a while... uh, yeah, I'm staying at the World Tree Pavilion, so you should come any time."

"……… Ah, yes, thank you"

"You're welcome."

Reyce's smile was an innocent one for the year.

After the kid with the sieve disappears from the alley, Reis finally turns this way.

"You didn't stop it. Why?"

"Lord Reyes, so I wonder if that would be the answer."

"No, you won't. I don't know."

Apparently, he hasn't noticed us.

"Even those who have Mr. Aerial in their division will not drown in power. If he's that immature, there's no way he's gonna admit to the Demon King's Castle offensive."

If it is not a runoff, it will mean the exercise of rational magic.

First, if it hurts and gives fear, there are many others to do.

He hasn't hurt the fig's body in any way. I just had a pretty rambling 'high and high'.

Without harming his body, he threatened to carve out a lesson.

Even the magic of killing shocks was available before the fall.

Considering all of that, I still don't think it's too much.

Because I was a victim, I can see that.

On the part of the perpetrator, he doesn't give up to the extent of squishing on the spot. So how many times has Leme been hurt?

Reis said, passing through. In a half-baked bailout, didn't you think the victim would suffer even more at a later date?

He follows his own rules and does not miss out on bad deeds.

But did you attempt to put your mind to the possibility that the act would end in hypocrisy and even prevent recidivism?

Besides, dealing with the victim earlier.

He is not comfortable exercising his powers. A child who prepares himself for his righteousness.

"... you talk like you know your uncle in person"

I took the hood.

"You're late to say hello. I'm called [Flaming Brave] Phoenix."

Reis rounded his eyes.

"Oh, you do. Speaking of which, my uncle called me. You're good at hiding magic."

"Exactly, if you've been an adventurer for years"

"Haha, well. Is she the one behind you? Enthusiasm?"

"Chi, no. [Hunter] I'm Lily."

"Intra-party romance?

"You're saying it's not."

"Haha. But good. Thanks for your help. I was on my way to the rendezvous point, and I got lost."

"Well, no, but..."

He seems to think me and Lily have the same destination.

But actually, no.

I can't let it go, though.

"We have another purpose today. I'll show you along the way, if you want."

"Heh? Yeah, okay. Thank you, Sempai. Please."

Reis then woke up an incontinent boy. Before Rais says anything, the boy escapes.

"I still think it was too much"

We're going out onto the street and headed to Reis' destination.

"If it's an elf, how does a jerk punish you?

"Those who sin will be locked up in a tree cell, facing their sins."

They say it's like a wooden void, locked in a space where you can hold your knees and manage to get in, and lock them up.

"I see. When there's no time or place like that?

"... not envisaged"

Since the relationship is complete for each settlement, the elves say it is rare in itself that there are strangers and strangers outside.

Assuming it becomes a dispute with another settlement or race, it becomes a whole settlement issue, not an inter-individual issue. Then again, I can't solve it by myself.

"Heh. If you're going to make it around, it's amazing."

……

Lily looked subtle. I have something to think about, but I guess I'm not going to say it.

"Earlier, how are you?

"Come on, I just came to this city."

"That's not what I meant"

"Haha, I'm sorry. I know. Yeah, I've been using magic lately. I'll do it well. You call that weak stuff abusive? Oh, I mean, it's annoying. It's a bad story, though, that in the end a stronger guy has to stop them. I can't believe I'm using my powers for such a boring thing."

"So what do you think you have the strength for?

"It's proof. Because I have the power, I can win. Because I have the power, I can protect you. Because I have the power, I can do what I thought was right. That's why I'm here."

"Yeah, right."

"I like being strong. I like to be sure to win at the end. The most correct form of bravery is that. I don't care what kind of spirit you have on you, or your face, or your age, or your gender, or your hua... I think, haha"

His voice, which had a serious flavor all the way along, turned purposefully bright.

"... have we met somewhere?

"What, with the phenycen pie? I don't think so."

"Right.... Phew, Sempa?

"Because you're hiding your face now. You can't call me full."

With us, Reis is walking with his face hidden.

"Oh, yeah"

I feel like someone else.

I will always win at the end of the day.

That's Leme's favorite phrase. But I think that was someone's word rather than his original. It would be the word of a brave man.

Is Reis a fan of the same brave man?

"Reis."

A girl with white hair appeared, completely covered with a robe from the neck to the bottom.

"Ah, Fran."

"Looked for"

I was lost.

"... Reis is directional tone deaf. I don't want you to walk alone."

"I'm not directional tone deaf. I just get my feet where I want to go."

"... there's nothing I can do"

"Besides, you always come, that's all right."

"... yes"

Girl with unchanging expression, but like slightly up the edge of her lips.

"Thank you, Lilysen Pie on Phoenisen Pie. You'll be fine by now."

"Sounds like it."

"Um, what happened with us..."

"Yeah, I'll keep a secret. I'll keep my love in my chest."

"So you're saying no,"

"Haha. Oh, yeah, Phoenixen pie."

"What?

"I don't know why, but you dumped Mr. Lemme."

――――

"Don't worry. That guy will be number one at my party. I will never abandon my people."

"... Leme has already found his way"

"... makes me think this road is going to be more fun"

That said, he left smiling.
