Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

One day at noon.

As usual, I put a beach chair out in the garden and relaxed.

Relaxing, he played with his dog in the garden as he fed him and threw the ball.

That's how I kill my time.

Looking up at the sky for a moment.

From the position of the sun, is it still in the morning?

Today, I kind of feel like time is running out -.

"Hermes."

On top of my head, I think I've got a face.

"Whew!"

I raised my voice and accidentally fell off the beach chair.

Immediately a dog came running by me and licked my face with a pepper.

"Oh, are you okay, Hermes?"

Don't be surprised, sister.

"I'm sorry about that. More than that, Hermes, what's wrong?

"Huh? What?

I sat on the ground, tilting my neck and looking at my sister.

"Unlike usual, you seem to be softening up a bit, don't you?

"Sort of?"

"Yes, you look like a boy when you're on your first date with her, but you never came to the rendezvous place no matter how long they stood"

"What a face!

I accidentally raised my voice, and I stuck it in.

And I was a little relieved.

to your sister's observation.

The analogy is strange, but my sister essentially said the same thing.

And that can't be what it feels like to take a sister for a fling or a mackerel.

Take a good back, I'm telling you with certainty, my sister.

... even though you're making fun of me.

Anyway, I decided to keep an eye on it and talk.

"Erica's not here yet."

"Master Erica?

"Oh. I heard you were coming this morning, but you haven't come yet."

"Oh, so annoying?

The sister put her hand on her mouth and looked as happy as she could.

You look like a schoolgirl the moment you hear about Love Bana.

When I stuck there, the story slipped away from the side in a grand way, so I went through.

"It's not. This has never happened before. Erica comes when she says she's coming - even if she doesn't have to. I've never been late when I said I'd come the other way."

"Sure. As far as I know, Erica seems desperate to make time to meet Hermes."

What do you know, I decided not to ask.

Because it feels like a dragon is coming out instead of a snake if you stick to it, sister's.

"If you hear from me when that comes, you'll be here on time no matter what. Is something wrong?"

That's what your sister said, turning her back.

In a direction, where there is the Kingdom of Karamba - where Erica is coming.

"Yes, Hermes"

My sister turned to me and put her hands together as if she had come up with a plan.

I have a bad feeling.

"Why don't you pick him up?

"Pick me up?

"Yes."

"Pick me up, huh?"

I thought about it.

Pick me up, huh?

I had a bad feeling about it, but it wasn't such a bad suggestion.

"Yeah, I am. Hermes took care of Erica last time, so can I have that much in return?

"It's..."

Maybe so.

Maybe, but that's what's making me more and more in trouble.

And that doesn't make sense to your sister.

Besides, I know you usually thank me there.

I'm not sick, but it's pretty much the same as nursing, so I'll thank you for that.

"... no, that's fine"

"Oh, really?

"Oh."

I nodded, went back to the beach chair, and fell asleep.

My sister looked up at the blue sky as she stood beside me, holding onto her wind-blown hair.

Me trying to relax in the wind the same way.

……

…………

………………

I got up.

"Oh, what is it, Hermes?"

My sister turned this way.

"Hey - I'll get you some more"

"Yes, please go"

I was from the mansion, flirting with my sister's smile as if I could see everything.

Out of the garden, as soon as I left the grounds, I jumped up into the sky feeling like a papune.

In a flash he left the city of Pindos and flew directly over the street.

Even as he was flying, he found his eyes like a plate on the road below.

The carriage originally stared with such momentum that Erica would not miss it if she walked or disguised herself.

About enough, I left Pindos completely to get to the unpopular outdoors.

"-!"

I took a breath.

Because a familiar carriage found itself being attacked by monsters.

Monsters surround the carriage all the way.

An escort is fighting that monster.

Several escorts have already been hit, and the war is not good.

I sped up and flew away, landing in front of the carriage, between the escort and the monster.

"Backup."

"Don't wander off, I'm here"

"Oh, you are."

"Darling!"

Erica came from the carriage.

With tremendous momentum, he held on to me with as much momentum as a tackle, clinging to his neck muscle.

Oh good, I'm perfectly fine.

No one's hurt, he's safe.

I'm a little relieved.

Still, I asked just in case.

Are you okay, Erica?

"I knew you'd come! That's why I love darling!

I didn't answer the question, but I found out that I was fine and that the injury didn't seem anywhere, so I did it for now.

"Dear Ka, Kano. Please just take your majesty away."

Erica's escort said in a chopped voice.

Even at a time like this, it's the loyalty I've seen.

I'm guessing that's why you were given an escort when you came to see me with patience, a private person in private.

"It's okay."

"Huh?"

I looked around.

Far-winded monsters, five of them with twenty are defeated escorts.

If I did it normally, I'd just be twitched and wiped out by the difference in power - well, no problem.

Erica, stay back.

"Yeah! You're looking at the cool part about Darling"

Erica honestly left me.

Unlike an escort, he believes in me.

I pulled out the bolt sword of my hips - the sword of my first emperor.

Keep it up, the monster slashes you.

Do not destroy monsters without yourself.

He took a method of warfare where he saw gaps from the side and defeated the guards and monsters he was fighting and where he was meeting.

Too many witnesses.

If this knocks you down normally, you'll get another rating.

So I dared to take down the monster, like a hyena.

After a while, the monster is swept away.

When that was over, the escorts were taking a breath or starting to take care of their fallen companions.

"Yay, darling, wow"

Erica hugged me in the meantime.

I look at the escorts for a moment, about half, disgruntled.

"Stay on the sidelines teasing me," he says.

All right, all right, that's it.

I wanted that kind of flow.

It's true that I defeated him, but it's no big deal, rather cowardly, because it was a hyena act that used my allies.

Perfect flow.

Later on, they would raise their frustrations on their own, so I left you alone and turned to Erica.

"Is Erica okay? Are you hurt or something?

"Not at all. Thanks to Darling."

"Right."

Erica's "thanks to Darling" also collected the frustrations of the escort in a good way.

All right, all right, that's it - the next moment I thought.

Things have even turned around.

Shortly after the noise, the white smoke exploded from the ground.

The last thing I saw was the sight of a whole bunch of monsters bursting and smoke blowing out of it.

"Is this... hypnotic gas!?

I inhaled a little smoke and understood that yes (,).

A little late, he coughed up geese around or fell one after the other.

Standing guards, fallen guards under guard.

Everyone is equal, getting hit by gas and falling asleep.

"Rin."

Erica was no exception, letting go of consciousness.

"Oops."

I can hold Erica's body before she falls to the ground.

See how it goes - yeah, I'm just sleeping.

It doesn't seem to have any secondary effects or anything, it just seems like it's really normal hypnotic gas.

Relax, gently lower Erica to the ground.

"Well, doesn't that work?"

There was a man's voice.

Turning to the voice, one man appeared out of the smoke that gradually cleared up.

The man - he was leading the monster.

"Who are you?"

"Rathless Meal"

"I don't know, it's the first name I've ever heard."

"Duke of the kingdom of Karamba - the man"

"The Duke of Karamba?

I kind of saw Erica.

You mean the Duke of Karamba, under Erica's command?

No, wait. That's crazy.

"What a Kalamba nobleman can obey a monster. And why did you attack Erica?"

"Hermes Canoe. You're in the way."

"Huh?"

What the hell is that?

This guy hasn't answered any questions either.

All Kalamba humans don't answer questions. But you have one? I thought for a moment.

The man stares at me with an even more hateful gaze.

"If it wasn't for you, Erica would have been mine."

"... oh, that sort of thing"

Somehow I was convinced.

That's the thing.

He's got a grudge of love.

"I thought, Master Erica is still young and hot. Whatever you say now, you won't listen to me. If so."

Rathless made fun of me more and more.

"You just have to get rid of the other guy,"

……

I don't know - yeah.

You have a high level of rebellion.

So I'm bringing in the other guy's elimination - the monster, so I guess that means elimination from the world, or annihilation.

Kicking off your love rivals is a common story, but it's hard for your thoughts to leap to "annihilation" there.

"So you brought the monster"

"Yes, because if I find out I've put my hands down, Master Erica will be more and more solid. An accidental accident of being hit by a monster. Then we'll all be happy, me and Erica."

Uh... what about me?

Or normally there, Erica would be sad first.

Like, I thought a lot, but I didn't say anything.

Because I clearly realized that this guy doesn't make sense.

"Come on, that's it for the chat. Let Master Erica die before she wakes up. What, I've chosen a highly murderous monster, I'll give you instant death without suffering"

"Are you going to take me down with those guys?

"Don't be strong. I tried fighting these guys earlier. Without that amount of strength and meat walls, it's time to go."

Do the hyena act yourself. What, did you come with the meat wall?

"... is that your fault too"

"Yes."

"To lure me out?

"Uhm."

"... right"

From the bottom of my belly, my quiet anger rose.

"I have to punish you."

"Ha, don't rush"

Russless smiled.

"It's a man who can only give a degree of strength in an occasion where Erica can show you good things. I'll get enough of you with these guys."

……

"Come on, do it!

With the decree of Rathless, the monsters came under attack in unison.

Flash.

Flashing a sword that remains unplugged.

Then I put together about ten flying monsters and cut them both up and down from the middle.

"Become... then, silly"

"Sorry to hear that."

"Huh?"

"I wasn't serious yet."

……

Russless was stunned.

I lost my word on my face that we were talking differently.
