136 ◇ Demon King Castle today

It's a dream.

I'm sure it was the result of a conversation with Mr. Lemé.

Because it was my dream the day I asked your father.

"I've done a much more important job than a brave man."

As Lemme said, it would be a dressed rhetoric, but I guess [the indomitable brave] is not the man who gave up first place, but the man who didn't give up his family.

That's why I'm cursed.

Without me, the mightiest brave man would have proved it.

That......

Speaking of which, I think I told my father the same thing at the time.

What did your father say to my words?

In the end the dream didn't go that far and I woke up.

"Reis."

When I opened my eyes, it wasn't the ceiling, the wall or the pillow that showed.

Face.

"What the hell, Fran?"

"Morning."

"... good morning"

Pathologically white hair is stretched long and no emotional color is seen in both red eyes. With all the white skin and even neat nose and nose, it is still more convincing to be told that it is a doll created by a top-notch technician, rather than a person, at the best of his skill.

Beautiful by fantasy, this girl is my childhood tame.

I wake up, I scratch my head and look out for Fran.

He's still in a robe covering his entire body today.

"I've been wondering lately, why are you here to wake me up?

From about a few days ago, Fran started coming to wake me up.

You're gonna come wake me up, or I'll be in my room when I wake up. Is that why they didn't wake me up exactly? But she said she came to wake me up. I don't know what that means.

"Mr. Michelle."

"That guy?

It's Aeoji and this [wizard]. [Red Lotus Wizard]. Weird guy, but his strength is real.

"'A situ awakened by a childhood girl is a dream for all boys.'"

He seems to intend to imitate his voice, but he has no discouragement, and his voice quality hasn't changed.

"Did you say that?

Kokuri, nodding franc.

... What are you talking about?

"So you tried to make me dream."

"If Reyce is happy, so am I."

It's hard to guess from the look on Fran's face what he's thinking.

It's just that we've been together since we were walking, you know, just so you know.

It's no joke or tease.

"That's all."

"How are you?

"Look at your face. I've never felt better."

"Yes."

Oh, I missed my gaze. It seems illuminated.

"I'll get some rice."

"Yeah."

Nothing. I could eat with the rest of them downstairs, but there was a reason.

Go down to the dining room downstairs and approach the kitchen counter.

"Oh, Rayce. Good morning."

My aunt in the dining room notices me and smiles. I smiled back, too.

"Morning."

"Are you going to eat alone with Fran today?

"Well."

"You're close."

"'Cause we've been together since we were little kids"

"You're still small."

He said he was going to grow up.

In this country, fifteen are adults. Fifteen demands behavior and responsibility as an adult.

When the [position (job)] is found at the age of ten, it takes several years to train and study for the future profession.

Adventurers are training institutions (schools). [Cooks] are training in restaurants where meals are served.

Ten years old is young, but when you think of it as an adult in five years, it shouldn't be too young.

Still treating me like a child...... no, I wonder if I treat you like an immature person, many adults did.

In the meantime, this aunt seems to treat me like a child at first sight, but she respects me firmly as one person. Seems comfortable and nice distance not to step too far in.

"Well, wait a minute."

"Yeah."

Sitting in an empty seat and waiting, someone came and stopped in front of me.

"Reis."

He's a smart-faced man with leafy hair. Boy, I guess. Three more times than me.

I don't know what to say... I don't like remembering people's names.

"Morning...... Yuan"

I managed to remember. [The brave man of the disease].

"… I graduate from a training institution (school) with a second seat"

"What? Uh, yeah, well. Amazing...... yuansenpai"

I don't like these either. Do you mean the imposition of respect?

I'm learning about Skahacen pie, so I wouldn't dare to undermine the mood of my fellow fighters.

"... well. Better than that, you know? Today is the day."

"Yeah."

"We have little experience in action. Keep your mind on the attack so you don't pull your legs off."

I'm serious. I think it's good. By being precise, some people will show strength.

I just want you to know that it's not all that.

"Right. Certainly not the same in practice as in training, is it? Thanks, I'll be careful."

"... I don't think you're getting my word."

"That's not true."

"... To be honest, I don't like you. I guess I don't understand. such as refusing its protection while being recognized by the Four Spirits"

"He said he wouldn't pull his leg."

"What's the difference between being clueless and not being able to increase the power of a battle?"

"I'm not going up. This guy didn't sign up to give me a hand."

I asked if anyone was coming as a bystander and they just followed me.

But Yuan doesn't seem convinced.

"Reis, are you..."

Voice that breakfast was ready just at that time.

I'll see you later.

I don't answer Yuan's voice on my back, I take the food and head back upstairs.

"Thank you for waiting."

When I stand in front of the door, it opens softly. It's Fran. He must have been waiting in front of the door.

"Thanks for everything"

"Yes, sir."

We'll put a basin with food on the little desk in the room and start breakfast time.

The two of us have a reason to eat dinner.

Fran took off her robe.

Its right arm looks big and vicious, as if it had sewn a monster arm on a girl.

Only there, unlike her other skin, was red and black, with countless lines running, blue or purple, pulsating like another creature.

Born.

With this arm, I also struggle to lead a daily life. First you have to do the meal with one hand.

I know when I try, but this is pretty hard. If you just eat bread. Still, you often find it troublesome that you don't have the hand to hold down the vessel.

There are other things that I'm sure I don't understand.

In fact, she doesn't want people to see her arms. Exceptions are only made during battle.

That's why I'm helping her eat.

Sit next to him and carry the salad or soup to Fran's mouth.

"Reis."

"Hmm?"

I'm used to it, but Fran still seems sorry for the trouble.

"... nothing"

"Right. You're welcome."

"... yeah"

"I don't do things I don't want to do. You know that."

With that said, her anxious face - albeit faceless beside her - soothes slightly.

"If you eat this, it's the castle of the demon king."

"Yeah."

"I'm counting on you."

"Yeah."
