"I don't know. Even so, it was my situation that I wanted to rush."

I thought if I could just be first, I'd stop criticizing Phoenix's decision to put [Black Demon Instructor] in.

This guy didn't let me into the party because I'm his friend.

We're on the same page together, and it's no mistake that Phoenix invited me.

Yes, I wanted to prove it.

"... Anyway, I almost lost my bond with you in an unrequited way"

"You gave it back to me. Enough about Berito."

There was also her guidance, and Berito's movements were becoming more worm-like.

"... not enough. Even if I'm done paying them back, it hasn't happened since, and I'm trying to make a debt again."

Do you owe me this favor?

Lily nodded.

I laugh brightly.

"As many [hunters] as you can help defend. Thank you. I'm not selling you any favors. I'm not that greedy, am I?

Lily turned her eyes round and Phoenix smiled small.

"Or what? I don't know if I can help, but do you ask me to join you at the behest of a friend? Sure, that would mean lending one."

That much said, she finally loosened her lips too.

"... no. No, lemme. I'll make sure it helps. Give me a chance, and I will win over you."

"Nice. Then this is a reciprocal deal."

Again, we toast.

When I offer her a wooden barrel jock, she hits herself modestly.

Thus I gained a companion that I could count on, although I was only fighting Reid again. [M]

"... so why are you looking so happy"

I stare at Phoenix.

"No, I'm glad Lemme admitted it."

"You're disgusting."

"Leme, that's an overstatement. Surely Phoenix's friendship with you is that... too deep, honestly, I've been wondering about it for a long time... Nevertheless, something called fraternity is a difficult treasure. We misunderstood, but if that doesn't disrupt sober thinking, we should respect it."

Oh, people were putting incompetence in a party because Phoenix is their best friend, I thought.

If that premise had disappeared, it would mean that there was nothing wrong with my love for childhood.

"Besides, there's something I can tell. Remember, you're in a better mood when you hear about Phoenix's reputation?"

"... Lily? That's not true, is it?

That doesn't make me feel bad.

"Even those who are good at reading people like you don't know who you are."

"No, so..."

When I wonder how I explained it, I realize she's laughing when she dulls.

... Looks like they made fun of me.

"Lily laughs like that, too."

"I'm sorry. I'm not lost in battle or in earlier conversations, but when it comes to Phoenix, I get a little stuck in words..."

Grr......

It's complicated.

We're childhood friendly. I used to be my brother, getting rid of the jerks after Phoenix.

But when I was ten years old, [Position (Job)] turned out and the world changed.

My friends are gone, and the only remaining Phoenix is [brave]. [M]

Then we promised to be adventurers and did it.

Childhood friendly, best friend, sibling, companion, lodging enemy.

Well, I'd be angry if they made fun of me, and I'd be happy if they complimented me. Let's admit it.

It's just that when people ask me if I am because I'm close, I feel different.

"A little... a little, I think I know how Phoenix feels. You save people for real, not for right, not for kindness."

The smile Lily gave me at that time was as beautiful as a work of art, so I hardened up a lot.

It's not the pity of being healed like Kash, or the lustre of having your heart roar like Mira.

That was similar to when I saw the beautiful scenery. Nature takes away your eyes, and your sighs of admiration overflow.

"... well, I don't know"

"I'm surprised you don't understand."

"I know you're not surprised."

I grinned and scratched my cheeks to mislead the lighting. [M]

He then checked on Phoenix's demonic magic body (avatar), talked about when to summon the two of them and how to get them to move, and signed with Lily.

"Cold...... what is cold. I just can't do hella without meaning..."

The one with soft cheeks on the tabletop and bright red ears - Lily.

I've never seen her get so drunk.

Maybe I lost my mind somewhere because I could spit out Mr. Sulli's case, which I couldn't even tell my people about before.

"Oh, yeah. I think that's a good thing about Lily."

Lily dissatisfied about the public reputation. I won't change the way I am, but that doesn't mean I won't get hurt.

"... I hated your loving laughter"

"Yeah, I guess I didn't like that one either."

"But... earlier... sooo"

"Lily?"

Apparently, he fell asleep.

"... I'll take you home"

"Don't take me anywhere."

"Isn't that too harsh?"

"Well, that's as a joke. I'll follow you, too. You're gonna walk around the city with Lily on your back, or it's gonna be light tomorrow's news."

If you have perception inhibition, you don't need to worry about it.

"Oh, that would help."

I have a hand in sending Lily to the inn alone, but I don't think it's a good idea.

Specifically, "Mr. Leme, you smell like a woman. I guess you got close enough to smell who the hell you are. Speaking of which, you met [the hunter] Lily today or something...... hehe, hehe" feels like it, and I see a future where Mira gets in a bad mood.

Finished the bill, we went outside the store.

For a while, we were silent.

"Oh, speaking of which. You were about to say something when Rayce talked about it."

"... um, ah"

Walk side-by-side on a crowded boulevard, but nobody cares about us.

"I think he looks like someone, but he didn't come out. Didn't you notice anything?

Phoenix put questions to my questions.

"... Lemme, where did you first hear the phrase 'the last one to win is the brave one'?

No, that was the answer in the form of a question.
