Rakugo in Another World

Lucca was dreaming.

That's the Great Plains.

The sheep are grazed, the birds dance, the flowers sing, and the wind soars.

Lucca is lying on the grassland bed feeling good.

You can hear a gentle sound coming from nearby.

--What the hell are you hearing?

Thinking about it, Luca doesn't know.

Talk to Pete nearby, buried in the grass.I tried to ask what I heard, but Racca's mouth let go of words that had nothing to do with it.

"Hey, Pete. I guess I have to save the world."

"What? Why?

Pete's soft chestnut hair catches the wind.

"Why... am I brave?That's why we have to save the world. "

"Hmm...."

Pete opens his mouth after a careless reply.

"But I also want to save the world.I'm not a brave man. "

"I suppose that's because... you're such a savious-loving person."

That's what Luca laughed at.

Pete was not angry, and somehow laughed illuminatingly.

"Yes, I'm not a brave man.But I... "

When I woke up, it wasn't the Great Plains, it was Lucca's room.

I had a nostalgic dream.

No, that's not a dream.That's the actual memory of Pete and his adventure.

Is that why you couldn't talk as you thought?Aren't dreams freer? Racca smiled bitterly.

It was the most fun of those days.Four years ago, the demonic invasion was still less intense, and Racca and Pete traveled around as heroes, killing evil monsters in flashes.

And when I rescued the nomads from the basilisk on the great plains that came out of my dreams, and then stayed in the village for a while, I was really relaxed.

I spent lazy days lying on a bed of fluffy grass.

--Well, what did I hear then?

Waking up from a dream doesn't remind Luca.It may be natural. If I had remembered, I would have been clear in my dreams.

And it's the same with Pete's words.

"I'm not a brave man.But I... "

--What did Pete say after that...?

Looking at the ceiling of his room, Lucca was thinking vaguely for a while.

Luca still remembers the first time she met Pete.

Raqqah was four years old when he was recognized as a brave man by the prophet.

Father and mother of the aristocratic Sinsa clan, who fell into the throne of Lucca, cried and rejoiced.I got a throne, and I got a lot of territory.In an instant, everything I wanted, both wealth and honor, came into my palm.

- Instead of offering my son.

My father and mother were never lost.And since Lucca was deposited in court, they've never visited.Racca quickly understood that she had been abandoned.

And Raqqah was waiting to train in Hell's sword for days.

When I was born, I never touched a sword.

The master was tough anyway.I cried and vomited again and again.It's not like blood seeps... it's actually bleeding many times.

There were no convenient miracles such as promises that Racca originally had hidden talents or the prophet's announcement that unknown forces were boiling and swordsmanship rose to an extraordinary level in one day.

All the responsibility for being a brave man lay with Racca herself.

The days of authentic effort and research.

Lucca couldn't exist without being brave.

When I cried, no one helped me.

You're a brave man, so take it for granted.

If you can't, you're not a brave man.

The word "brave" was the same as the word "curse" for Racca.

During the break from training, he sat on a bench in the courtyard garden and stared at the ground.

Everyone just looks around at Lucca and doesn't come by.

Adults are treated like incarnations of God, carrying only too heavy and great an expectation.

I couldn't possibly do it with friends my age.

Why should I be the only one with such an eye?

What exactly is a "brave man" that needs to be done?

I was just thinking about that.

One day in such a lucky place, a boy spoke to me.

"Hey, what are you doing there?

Standing in front of him was a gentle smile, a boy who seemed to grow up to see.

Racca was deeply surprised by the sudden call, but at the same time she felt a rebellion.Fate had taunted him, his parents had betrayed him, and his heart had been ravaged.

"What are you doing?Don't talk to me like that. "

"Oh, sorry, sorry.Um... I'm Pete. "

Lucca feels even more frustrated by the unpredictable weather response.

"I don't know your name.I'm a brave man...Go away. "

Complete rejection. Racca was in deep human distrust.However, Pete doesn't mind the words, but he keeps his distance.

"Yeah, I know.Brave men are amazing. Hey, you're gonna be my friend. "

"Friends?"

The conversation doesn't work.What the hell is this guy?Are you just a lover or a fool?

... friends? Did you just say "friend"?

"Me and... friends?

Pete opened his mouth as he nodded many times more forcefully than Racca's weak words.

"Yeah, that's why I know 'The Brave'.Could you tell me your name, please?

Pete was the son of the then Knights of the Royal Palace and lived in the court with his family.

It didn't take Lucca long to forgive Pete.Racchar realized that Pete's personality, which was devoid of any spikes or poison, was ridiculous.

After that, I was with Pete to do anything.We study together and sometimes play.Of course, the training was painful and I was dying.But life was more fun than ever before.

Is this how it changes with just one friend?

For Lucca, Pete Bruce was the youth itself.

But that Pete is gone.He's dead.

I lost my motivation and everything became better.

Yes, maybe Lucca is back in her depressed mood now.

--That's why I told my husband that.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Lucca was still walking around the castle town today.

This has always been the case lately.It's hard to get into a super easy tavern even if you pass by nearby.

I pushed my own selfish thoughts and approached ICHIBUKU as a "Savior".Isn't that just like the ones who put up the "Brave One" lettering that they have hated for years?

You can't face each other.

The quote is rolled onto the ground...

It was a complete defeat.

Why did you say such a thing?

I never told anyone that.

Maybe because I felt like I was being denied my life.

Life as a brave man.When I took the stance of freely, slowly, herahla, and doing whatever I liked, I felt like I was seen by the prophet who could not escape from the rail called the "brave man" pulled from the royal palace.

Of course, it was just a paranoid paranoia, and after all, Racca did what she liked and thought "cheating" by seeing a blessing that was also protected by people around her.

― ― Even though I struggled a lot because I was branded a "brave man," Hanashika, the "Savior," he wondered if he was a leisurely and comfortable raccoon.I don't have Pete anymore...

"... it's dreadful. It's too rough."

Exactly the perfect eight.

There was no reason not to fall into self-loathing.

Walking with such a vague thought, I bumped into a kid running around the alley at a good time.

The opponent snapped his butt mochi.

"Hey, be careful.Look ahead. Walk. "

Lucca puts out her hand and makes the child stand up.

He was about four or five years old.

So Racca realized that she knew the boy.

"Oh, you're a kid, aren't you?

"... Uncle Luca?

"Hey, what's up, kid?That's what it is. "

Ren's clothes are all dirty and torn.You can also see small scratches on your body.

"Did you fall somewhere?Want someone to cast healing magic on you?

…………

Without answering Racca's question, Len turned to her wet eyes and said:

"Uncle Luca. You're a ghost in my town, right?
