Nankoufuraku no Maoujou e Youkoso

[Invincible Brave] Altreet.

About ten years ago, the leader of a party that, albeit only for one year, was ranked # 1 in the world.

Inevitably, it's been ten years since I last watched it, so I can feel the passage of time in its appearance.

Nevertheless, I'm so young that I don't think I'm past fifty. He's still working out adventurers, so I guess he hasn't missed the workout himself.

If they told me I was going to dive into the dungeon, my expectations would far exceed my worries.

If you look at it this way, it still looks somewhere like Rayce. No, the other way around.

But I couldn't tell that with one eye because my hair and eyes were different colors.

Rayce is a dark blue reminder of the deep sea, but he has the same color eyes on his brown hair.

"Hmm? Oh, Rayce is like her mother."

You guessed by my gaze, Mr. Altreet says.

I may have seen it too flimsy.

"Oh, no...... sorry"

"No, no. Anything. You noticed, not anyone telling you. Isn't that right? Does that mean that there are similarities between me and my son?

I don't think Rayce himself told me that. Does it feel like Rayce leaked it to Mr. Aerial, and from him to Mr. Altreet?

No one tells you, it's a mistake.

Because I asked Phoenix, but I did have a sense of ready-to-see. That's...

"On my face... a shadow"

"Oh no! I'm glad to hear that. I'll tell him next time."

He laughs at Nico like a child.

"Sorry about the excitement, but why don't you have Leme sit down first"

What we have now was a private dining room.

Unlike an open place where guests usually eat and drink, we see considerations such as partitioning to protect each other's privacy.

"! Right, sorry. Come on, hang up. Unless, of course, you don't like it."

"No way!"

I got a louder voice than I thought.

I sit across from them blushing. [M]

Mr. Aerial and Mr. Altreet sat side by side.

What is the situation with the old and new first place and meals......?

Not only are they strong, but they are both longing for each other. Something that makes me nervous.

"I'm sorry to bother you today. When I heard from Aerial that my son was obsessed with you, I wanted to meet him once if I could."

"No, it's an honor to meet you..."

"Haha, you're a good boy"

"Leme is not saying it in a rhetoric. He says he's a fan of yours."

I snort at Mr. Aerial's supplement.

"Oh? I'm glad to hear that. I didn't know younger kids like you knew that."

"When I was a little girl, I used to watch it."

"Ho. That's... that's sinister."

Sure, it's [the brave] who guns down flashy magic that makes kids like it.

Many children say that those who stand around in a muddy way are somewhat poorly dressed.

"I looked good. I always got the courage."

I looked fine in front of Phoenix, but my heart was always bugged by fights with a lot of people.

Still, you went in to help, so you can't lose.

Though he is not strong enough to rush refreshingly and defeat everyone in an instant.

Whatever you do, it serves the purpose of helping. Never give up and attack a dungeon, like [the indomitable brave].

Mr. Altreet took me seriously this time.

"Well... then it's good to be an adventurer"

"I'm the same with Leme"

"Haha, you've been very honest."

Speaking of which... Mr. Aerial used to say he was friends with Rayce's father.

Though I don't think there was any particular interaction or such information.

But this is how Mr. Aerial is calling me to tell him, and he's been close to me since earlier.

"Exactly, forget about when we just met"

"The boy who said, 'I'm not a brave man,' is now ranked # 1 in the world."

When Mr. Altreet told him to tease, Mr. Aerial scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"... you're no different."

"I heard they were friends."

"Oh, even if it's a friend. Now is the time to do the most powerful brave thing, but back in the day... don't stare, you don't want to break your junior image, okay?"

It may be obvious when taken for granted.

Everyone has more than one face. There's a difference between your face at work and your face at home.

Finer, my face when I'm with my lover, my face when I'm with a friend, my face when I'm with my family...... what a breeze some people can split into.

When I'm with a buddy, when I'm with a junior, when I'm on a video board (TV).

I've known for a long time, when I'm with an older friend.

It is very difficult to see that face of Mr. Aerial.

Because he is the top and the elderly among the adventurers.

"It's not an old story today, I guess I needed a lemme"

"Haha, you did. Sorry, I told you a little earlier about my son."

"Yes."

"That's a little... here's what you don't have to worry about"

I don't think I should talk about his problems. [M]

But with this, Mr. Altreet seems to be aware of it.

Naturally.

Because he's watching the whole process that Rayce is going to do now.

"... to himself about it?

"Of course. I'm just... sorry to hear that, but you don't keep your mouth shut."

"Ah......"

Reyce-kun's purpose is to prove its correctness by achieving success in the way he [the indomitable brave] does.

My presence made Mr. Altreet choose to retire. That's what Rayce can't forgive.

Mr. Altreet does not consider that retirement to be a mistake in the first place.

Opinions are in conflict, and Rayce has no intention of responding to discussion or persuasion.

As a result, my son is ignoring my father.

"Is this also a rebellion..."

Altreet is plainly depressed.

"No..."

Either that or I think it feels like I don't respect my father very much......

I think of my father as a strong, well-dressed brave man enough to deny myself.

"When I talk about Lemé, say, 'If you like the words of those earlier, you might have ears to listen to'."

Even if Mr. Aerial himself told me that I had noticed Reyce's father.

Apparently, he's not talking about the conversation that followed.

"Sometimes things like this, you see, can be extra complicated when you're a party, right?

"Yep."

Nod.

When I was supposed to leave the Phoenix party. Of course Phoenix pulled me off, and then even emailed me to follow up.

But it wasn't the words of my best friend that saved my depressed heart, it was the healthy smile of a fruit shop girl.

Sometimes things get better and feelings are saved thanks to people who have nothing to do with a problem.

"It's just..."

I say. [M]

That's all, Mr. Altreet seems to have understood.

"Oh, you couldn't."

Maybe I expected half of it.

"Sorry I can't help you"

"No, no, it's not like I'm supposed to ask people to do it. Looks like he was already involved, and I'm sorry."

"Rayce..."

I say it, and I think it might be something I should say.

"That's okay, why don't you talk to me?

"Rayce is... Rayce, but as you're wrong. I think it's hard to change that in words."

"I'm stubborn."

Mr. Altreet is grinning powerlessly.

"Reason can be twisted or bounced. Because people can have their own. But the reality is different. Of course, people can say how to capture it, but losing, for example, is losing. If you change your view, you win, and you don't. Because we have a clear decision to make."

"Yeah."

"I guess I can only make you realize that not being able to do it in that way means poking at the reality that that way doesn't make sense."

"Ho. I mean, if I lose the Reid fight, my son will look back at his actions, huh?

He strokes his jaw intriguingly.

"If you lose the way you think you're right, or..."

"I see. But my son doesn't give up badly. No matter how many times you lose to Aerial, you'll end up winning."

"If his purpose is to be [the indomitable brave], I think exit is a very heavy one. The Battle of Reid, in particular, has no choice but not to deliver."

"... right. Maybe you're right."

I can't achieve that I will always win at the end.

I'm not the kind of kid to underestimate that. Characteristically or with a purpose in mind.

For a moment I felt a shade in Mr. Altreet's expression.

But in the next moment, he's clapping his shoulders.

"Then there's nothing we can do. I can only count on all of you at Demon King's Castle."

"Come on, what about a father who expects his son to lose"

"Ultimate happiness is more important than winning or losing right now."

"Hmmm... I want to do something about it, but I really need to get to the offense"

"Haha, of course that is. I have to ask you to challenge me with the intention of attacking me completely. What Leme is saying is that if he ever loses on top of that, it could be an opportunity to review himself, right?

"Yes."

"Yeah, right. I can't help thinking of anything I can't do as a mess. Let's keep an eye on him until the day comes when he'll have his mouth shut again."

So to sum up the story, the next topic moved on to the tag tournament.

At first, I was nervous, and I was able to listen to my favorite strategy videos along the way.

Dreamy time passed quickly, when it was time to dissolve.

"Leme."

It was the right time for Mr. Aerial to stand in the bathroom.

"What is it?"

Say hello to my son.

…………

"Uh, if there's anything I can do. But I can't go to his party."

He has a gentle smile.

Lord Lucifer is blessed to succeed you.

――――

That's the master's dungeon name.

[Demon King] Lucifer is the name of the most powerful demon.

Sometimes the inability to act aggressively here is an unexpected line, but proof that I'm still immature.

"After all, you're a good boy. I'm honest, I don't lie."

"... why"

"I'm sorry, it's almost a conjecture. I don't want anyone to notice, so don't worry. Of course I won't say anything else."

Hatterly, you mean you got caught?

But I don't want to blame you for that.

"Magic, is it?

Earlier, Mr. Aerial had associated Lucifer with me when he first met me.

"No... signs, I guess. For once, I've fought him. I was surprised when I saw you. I didn't know it was over the screen, but when I saw it in person, it freaked me out. When I confronted that demon king, a similar tremor ran. I don't know what's going on, but if you're the heir, it's a terrible thing. I salute the strength of your will."

If it's not rational, there's nothing I can do.

There are people who are equipped with what should be called a special feeling.

"I guess I shouldn't tell my friends and my son's enemies, but I'm hoping so."

"... Rayce is a wonderful brave man"

"Right."

"So I'll knock you down. I'm sure you'll be a better brave man."

"Haha, as a single viewer, I'm looking forward to it"

Just, that's where Mr. Aerial came back.

Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Yeah, but it's a secret story.

That being said, he put his standing index finger against his lips and closed one eye.

I snorted small, smiling bitterly.

◇

"How'd it go? You must be a good girl, Leme."

When Leme, who broke up in front of the store, turns the corner and becomes invisible, I speak to a distant friend of my age.

"Oh, I can snort that you invited me. You're amazingly good at hiding, but you're working out."

"His upliftment has no end. And besides, its heart will never break."

"Sure, if you get kicked out of a childhood party where you've come to fourth place, don't break your heart normally"

"Be them, there must have been circumstances."

"... well, especially in this day and age. It will often be hard just because [Black Demon Instructor]"

[Brave Man] But even spirits have or don't have, and public interest is out of step.

The impression I get from [Title (Job)] is quite handy.

"Still, he's going to come up. Me, too."

"That's good. It's a good thing we have competition."

"Right. One more piece of fun."

"I'm a little jealous."

That line released like a joke, but it seemed like it was meant to be.

"Speaking of which, you know Lord Fellow, right?

"Well, you're Jen, who made his son a man of time."

"He said you had an interesting story to tell too."

"Come on. Such an old man."

"It doesn't have to be right now."

Usually he would have laughed and turned down that he was already retired.

But that day was different.

"... think a little"

"Ah."

Perhaps thanks to Leme?

With that in mind, we walk out.
