"I'm surprised. I didn't know there was still a young man like you in this world."

In the shade of a nearby tree, three girls and one young man were lowering their hips and talking to each other.

"Hey, dokan a chunk of iron just now! What kind of magic is that?

A young girl dressed in white asks as she looks up with sparkling eyes. The young man frowned like a little trouble before answering.

"Uh... there's no other name or anything. Because it's my inherent magic."

"Object creation, or something like that?

"Summoning, to be exact."

"That's a powerful ability. Whatever it is, thanks. By the way, what's your name?"

"It's Ren."

"Well, my name is Hina. I'm from Sakura no Country and I travel to train in swordsmanship. Ren, I sincerely thank you for protecting me and my dear companions"

The girl, characterised by dark hair reaching to her waist, broke her hips deeply and thanked her. The abundant butcher's room, forced to tighten by exposures, shakes doped.

I have a lot in common with Mi, such as my country of origin and wet long hair. But the sadly raised beauty was Rin, with a slightly fat brow representing a strong will. If you think of Mi as a Japanese princess, is this like a warring samurai or something?

"I'm a mint. ♪ I'm from Machine Country, I play Medic."

Lori, a grey-haired girl named Mint, shakes the sleeves of a white coat that hangs down because it's not the right size and greets her energetically.

"It's great to travel even though you're so small."

"Hmm! Right ~"

Mint with a nostalgic grin like a puppy.

"Uh, I say linary. Travel to defeat the Witch..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!?

Ren peeled his eyes at the rushing shock remark. I had no idea that the girl who casually helped her on her way to the village where the brave man lived was the brave man of the goal itself.

You misunderstood the meaning of the shout of surprise, the red-haired girl leans down with a shun.

"Right, after all, I don't look like someone who can save the world."

"Huh?"

"I also annoyed Hina and Mint earlier because of my weakness, and I quickly almost wiped out my slime opponent... really, you can't"

"No, that's not true."

To the linearity dropping his shoulders, Ren had words of encouragement in his mouth if he noticed.

"I think you have so much courage to embark on a journey to save the world. Combat technology can wear as much as you want in practice, but not everyone can have a brave heart. Linary can be a fine brave man. I'll cover you."

"Eh heh, if you can flatter me like that, I'll cheer you up"

"I'm not flattered."

I wonder what the hell I'm running at, a little self-loathing has boiled down in Ren's mind. Being a fine brave man means kicking the Demons and killing Mi. There can be no such thing as a witch's husband guaranteeing that.

At the same time, however, he noticed that the conversation was moving in the desired direction. Youth continue to speak for the first step of the planned operation.

"Whatever, I'll follow you on the Queen's exorcism journey, too. You'd better have more company."

"Huh!? So, but"

Linary hesitates to make an abrupt offer. But the two buddies seemed to be on board.

"Hmm. You seem impeccable. Thank you for your help, Linary."

"Wow! Glad to have more company."

Linary had been thinking about it for a while, but eventually she bowed her head for a snack and said.

"Nice to meet you"

"If you're going to be one of us, you don't need to be respectful."

"Er... then Ren-kun. Nice to see you again."

"Oh, nice to meet you"

When I offered him my hand, he opened his lips slightly and responded to me shaking his hand. You'd be happy to have more powerful allies because you were anxious about strength as the leader of the party.

But, of course, Ren's not going to support them or anything.

I'll work with you as an ally for a while, build trust, and I'll betray you in the best place here. And do serious physical and psychological damage so you can never get back on your feet again. You won't make it more death than you have the inherent magic, "The Guide to Destiny," but the psychological damage should be enormous if it becomes a development that the companions you trusted were actually enemies.

(Break your heart anyway. And for that, I'll play a trusted companion and a treacherous traitor)

Behind a friendly smile, Ren was so determined.

……

Hina was leaving her hometown for swordsmanship training and drilling her sword moves day and night while living under an old lady in the village.

Mint was protected in the village where he taught medical care to his Android master in the kingdom of Chino and then got lost.

Each of them had a fighting ability that would not even draw on the Demons, and Linary herself could handle swordsmanship quite well. But as a party, it's still immature. Everyone wasn't sure they could really save the world.

(I wonder why I'm the brave one...)

The fate imposed on the fifteen girls is too harsh.

He woke up camping, realizing that the familiar ceiling was not there, and Linary felt unspeakable anxiety many times. I used to tremble scared of the fact that I ended one life with my own hands, even if it was an enemy, while wiping the blood of the demon I killed. But the girl did not smile healthy and acted as a leader.

Hina and Mint are moving on to help me with the role I have to carry on my own. Even if you may accept their weak sounds, the opposite must not happen. That's what I was stomping on.

But since Ren joined his crew, I feel just a little easier. It's because he's a stranger, or only he could show himself weak.

"Ren-kun told me I could be a fine brave man, but I knew I wasn't a brave man."

"Linary......"

"I'm afraid of killing and hurting people, and I'm more afraid of hurting myself"

……

"I don't want to travel. I want to throw everything out and go back to the village. If I realized that, I'd think about it."

Brave disqualification, isn't it, me? The young man softly held the shoulder of the girl, who shrugged and laughed powerlessly.

To warm body temperature, a hard chest plate unlike your own. Feel them and your heart will suffer as if they were tightened up to see why.

"I can't take your place on Linary's mission... but I'll do anything I can to support Linary. Even Hina and Mint must be thinking the same thing. You're one of them, so don't try to hold it all by yourself."

"Ugh, yeah."

Gently whispered words dyed the girl's ears red. My heart aches get worse.

He was shaking Ren's arm off almost reflexively. I regret seeing you look surprised and wonder if you've offended me.

"I'm sorry I made you hear about stupidity. Let's go. We're both waiting."

That's what Linary said and ran out to escape. I can't believe my heart bounces because I ran with all my might, with a strange excuse for myself chronologically.

But her heart abnormality became more and more frequent as she traveled with Ren.

"There he is! He's attacking the village, Trent."

Hina screams sharply and releases the Japanese sword smoothly.

Even though defeating the Witch Queen is the ultimate goal, it is also in the job to help if anyone is in trouble along the way. Doing so will sharpen the Devil's power into tunnels, and also have the advantage of getting used to battle and being strong, getting food and roadblocks from villagers in return.

"Mint, can you use the magic of flames?

"Mm, I can't. Except for healing magic, I'm out of expertise, and I just manage to use light magic."

"Then we'll have to attack normally."

That's what Ren said and reached for the void. The next moment, an axe emerges from nowhere is gripped.

Kicked the ground, the four ran out. The tree man who senses this approach strikes with a whip of a branch, but he gives himself up and dodges it, forcing his enemies to flesh.

"Ya ~!"

Pocon, and Mint's wand hit, followed by a Japanese knife, an axe, long swords carving deep cuts in Trent one after another.

A loose linear appearance to the success of a series of strikes, but the next moment is strong. I can't get out of my prick. On the back of a girl who struggles viciously to regain her weapon, the whip of a tree that works so well is pischamp! and get knocked in.

"Ahhh!

He raised his distressed voice as he turned his short torso back to such a severe pain that his vision dawned.

I feel the illusion of losing power from my legs and Trent getting bigger. The mossy earth touched his cheeks, and Trent didn't get huge, when he realized he had collapsed, his ni eyes were flying in as he cut through the air.

"Dangerous."

That moment, when I was ready for a painful beating and meditated on my eyes, the fuzz and my body rise.

"Oh, when you do, you have to throw down your weapon and run away."

If you open your eyes, there's a young man's face peering in at close range.

From the successful arms felt on her back and knees, her cheeks rose as if she was holding the princess or no or Bohun exploded. My heart beats a dodgy and early bell.

"Oh, oh, put it down! Uh, hey, we have to fight!

"It's okay, see"

Hina laughs invincibly as she pierces the Japanese sword deep into Trent. Apparently he hit the steeple this time, and Trent stopped moving as he did.

"You were taking one shot, weren't you? Back, pain?

My heart hurts more than my back, I can't even tell you what to do. The red-haired girl repeatedly puffs her mouth like a goldfish and says she's fine.

Hina had helped me in the same way, but this didn't happen then.

Rarely born of his parents in this world, Linary knows who this emotion is.

I was trying not to admit it, but this...
