Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

Keeping walking for a long time and not knowing how far he was going, Kosuke was occasionally anxious, but he was able to express anxiety that he was not alone, as Horn, who perceived so much anxiety, turned his face to care. There was also the glory of not wanting to show pity. Although anxiety had been spotted, it was a less meaningful look.

I would naturally be hungry if I walked. In that case, Horn found fruits and such in the woods and indicated that Horn would be fine by eating and showing them first. There is so much food in the woods that it rots because the beast cannot eat it.

I was thirsty, and there were occasions when Kosuke was surprised by the transparency of the water in the found creek. Horn didn't seem to know why I was surprised.

They rest when they get tired, and the two move on with the pattern that Horn will solve and move on if they have trouble.

And seven hours after they started walking, the two of them down the mountain discovered a small village.

Horn stops Yusuke from trying to get there with a relief look on his face if you ask him to stay overnight.

For the first time, Kosuke looked back at Horn's troubled face. I could also find feelings of anxiety.

Kosuke honestly follows Horn, who walks like that from the village. Somehow, I knew I didn't want to go to the village.

Two more walk. Thanks to the fact that I had been walking through all this time, the mountains I could see looking back were smaller.

Eventually the sun went down.

The moon is illuminating the night sky today. It's just a little hard to walk if you're walking on the plains, but the place you're walking now is in the woods.

Horn is also anxious to walk in the dark, illuminating his surroundings with the art of light. A small grain of light is dancing around the two of us.

I remember Kosuke's reaction when I saw this, and Horn leaked a small grin. It was amazing to shake. Not uncommon. He gave me my first look today with this technique. Seeing Yusuke still trying to grab the grain, Horn lost his strength from his shoulder.

After a short walk, Horn spotted a small fountain and decided to call it a wild spot. There are dead branches in my hand that I have picked up so far. When you put it on the ground, Yusuke also places a branch. That was like a child imitating his parents, and he leaked a grin again.

Where a small fire is flown and burned on the dead leaves taken from the branches, the dead branches are added and set on fire.

As a matter of fact, Horn was new to Nojuku. I don't know what to do, but I decided it was better to have a fire and I made an incineration. I don't even know that if there's a fire, the beast is hard to get close to, and I don't even know I should burn it for when the night flies and cools down. I created the fire because I was just relieved.

Dinner is a fruit that was brought from the mountains. The flavor is thin but the hunger can be filled, so the two eat one another.

I stopped trying to finish my meal. I could have enjoyed the conversation if the words made sense. We have a lot to ask each other. If we could have had a conversation, that's what we would have talked about all night.

But that's what it is. The current situation must be quiet.

Horn's eyelids grew heavier as he heard the sound of the bonfire and the birds and worms blurring. Originally there was a lack of sleep, but I was magically recovering my fatigue to get here and I was mentally and physically tired. It was impossible for Horn to keep walking this far without magic. Seeing Horn keep walking silently, Kosuke mistakenly thought he was physically fit.

Seeing Horn fall asleep while sitting down, Kosuke thinks he's going to fall asleep as he is, and brings Horn's head to his thighs.

"I guess this makes it a little easier to sleep.

I thought you were physically fit, but you couldn't.

I don't think I can return this much for what I've depended on, but I could have returned a little. "

I whispered to keep him awake.

Yusuke slowly falls asleep. Over my head I could see the stars from the gaps in the trees. I've never seen a beautiful night sky so far in my life, but now Kosuke can't afford to enjoy it.

"And where am I? I can think of other worlds as possibilities, but no way?

There is a world here that is unknown to ordinary people on Earth, and I just happen to get caught up in that sort of thing, I want it to be.

I hate that, but it's better than being thrown out of the world. "

Heavy heavy sighs are exhaled.

"I guess there's something about this guy, too. Otherwise I would have gone to the village.

Where's the place that people who can't get to the village are looking for? I'm starting to feel like a yawning place.

But this is the only person I can count on. I'm not a bad person, and I'm not unhappy with following you. "

Heavy sighs were exhaled again.

"There's still something I don't know.

Something's wrong with my health. I shouldn't be so physically fit. You can keep walking, but how about no fatigue?

What is really going on? I was wondering if anyone could tell me. "

There was no response, as a matter of course, to the whining that I did not expect the answer to return.

Kosuke, who was blurry as it was, started to get some sleep sometime.

The fire goes out and it gets cold, and it only takes two hours for the horn to wake up.

The two with gaps are the food of outfits for beasts and demons. But they never came close. I rather lurk my breath away from you.

I'm not afraid of fire. The cause is the scale of the dragon I brought. I'm not going anywhere near being able to smell a dragon. It's about humans who smell and don't know the danger, but the rough guys and bandits aren't here. Souvenirs were the amulet and protected the two of us.

After noon on the fourth day out of the mountain, the two finally reached Ellis' house.

Yusuke is not as fatigued as he is in thin dirt. Horn, on the other hand, has reached the point of being exhausted one step ahead. Because he didn't take the well-maintained path and came through the woods to avoid people.

Yusuke suggested bearing it in gesture several times, but the horn never nodded whether it didn't make sense or not.

Horn knocks lightly on the door. No reply. So without giving up, Horn slapped him again and again. As if you're sure you're there.

Eventually I heard sloppy footsteps from across the door.

"Perseverance! Who the hell is it!?

A woman who seems to be about the second half of the twentieth century came from a well-opened door. The glossy dark hair is not well done, and the clothes seem to have been chosen as a good addition. He has a neat appearance, so he would see it differently just by putting it through his hair and paying attention to his clothes.

At the time the footsteps were being heard, the horn was away from the door and never bumped into it.

"It's been about fifteen days, Ellis."

Ellis looks at Horn's face in a pocan manner. Sconces and dangers fell off my face.

"... horn? Why are you here?

"This is the only place I can think of to come."

"You've been running away?

"I'm so grateful."

"Did you help? Anyway, glad you're safe!

If you look closely, you look pale, get in the house quickly!

"Thanks. I thought Ellis would say that.

Koske. "

I look back to Yusuke, who was looking at the conversation between the two of them in wonder, and invite them to follow me.

With that trick, Ellis finally realized that Kosuke existed.

"Who is it?

"The Benefactor of Life"

Knowing that Yusuke did not do it with that word of horn, I take it seriously.

Keisuke gave a cozy look to her gaze as if to observe.

"You should go inside, too. Let's hear more inside."

"Cause Koske doesn't understand our language"

"... Really? Then how did you get here?"

"gesture by hand"

"Well, that's how we got here safely."

He's not a bad kid.

"A child is about fourteen years old, so from your nineteenth view, it's a child's range."

Yusuke is seventeen years old, but he will look young from Ellis and the others.

I have to go into the house if I can't help talking to you on the front porch forever.

"You're a mess"

Horn was right, the whole house was scattered as if it were in an empty nest. It's not overflowing with things, it's being knocked down and scattered all over the floor.

Fifteen days ago when Horn visited, he was cleaning up somewhat, so Ellis isn't out of order. This couldn't help the horn, it was rough, and it stayed put.

"... sort of"

"Shall we clean it up later?"

"I'll let Bordos do it when he gets back."

"I'll do it because I might be able to take care of you for a while"

"Really? I'll do everything I can."

Avoid the mess. The three enter the living room.

Drinking the tea and tea served, Horn and Yusuke exhale in relief. I didn't have any blades or pans, so I didn't eat anything warm. The twitching and warmth spreads throughout your body.

"I'd like to know what happened."

"Before I do, I want you to use the magic of an interpreter. We could've just used it, right?

"Oh, that's better."

Ellis stood up from his chair, by Yusuke.

Place your index finger on Kosuke's forehead and use magic.

Horn grinned when he took Kosuke's hand, who looked anxious to see what he was going to do.

Yusuke's anxiety clears to Horn's grin, which was helped many times. As I stood still, the heat pierced my head.

"This should do it. You know what we're saying?

"... I know... I know the words!

Horn looks smiling at Yusuke, who is happy to jump together when he finds out.

Ellis stuck her head shut up and stopped Yusuke like that.

"What the fuck!?

"The dust will dance. I might go in for tea."

"Sorry!"

Lose the power of sharp eyed Ellis and apologize instantly.

"With this degree of intimidation... are you sure it's dragon killer?

"Indeed, the dragon was dead, and there was a coursuke by his side. The dragon was injured and Koske was fatally injured.

The proof is that I'm alive and the country is still safe. And this scale. "

I put the scales I brought on the table.

"... the scale of that bucket thing?

"Yes."

"Can I touch it?

"Go ahead, because I was going to give it to you originally"

Ellis takes a piece of scales and looks up close. Oval black scale with a thickness of 3 mm, 10 cm (L) and 6 cm (W).

Confirm that the scales are the same color and shape as the dragons I have seen before, and tap gently to confirm sturdiness. Make a flame appear at your fingertips and see how it reacts.

"It really looks like that abominable scale of bucket stuff.

Can't you get so many if you're not dead?

Let me know what you said when you killed the dragon. "

"Even when it comes to the situation, I'm kind of refreshed about what too.

Was the black guy by your side a dragon?

Horn and Ellis face to face with this word.

The dragon that sat in this country is famous all over the world. I know as much as I look in the wind, even if I've never seen it in person. Anyway, so far, there was only one dragon of black scale. What do you mean you don't know that?

"Maybe I rushed to a conclusion too fast. Shall we keep the order?

Your name is Koske, isn't it?

Yusuke nods.

"My name is Eliseal. The one close to me calls Ellis. You can call me whatever you want."

"Bye, Mr. Ellis."

Ellis nods in an attempt to forgive.

"I'm a horn. Horn Corbeth Strach.

I'm finally officially introducing myself. "

"I'm Kosuke Wakase. Wakase is my family name, and Kosuke is my name.

Thanks for everything until I got here. "

That's what I say and I bow my head.

"This is the one who saved me, so I can't thank you enough.

And the fact that my family name was before me means that I'm from Honesing Continent? Someday in that continental country, my family name would have come forward. "

"... from Japan."

After hearing the continent's name, Yusuke sinks into wondering if he may have come to another world.

Horn and Ellis don't sound familiar to the country of that name.

"What kind of country is that? If you could tell me what the traits are, I might know."

Fortunately, I have come to the conclusion, but I think that those who came like me may have been in the past, and I will describe the characteristics.

Hearing Yusuke's words did not allow the two of us to think of the country in question.

"It's an island country, it's longitudinal, it's got four seasons, it's by the continent, it's secure, and it's a world renowned country.

It's not the Berele Islands that comes to mind when it comes to islands, but it's also known as a country. "

"Is Nihon a unique name for the Korske people?

"Even so, no other country is worthy of other conditions.

This could be. "

Ellis finds one word out of her brain.

Ask further questions to establish whether this is the case.

"Sevsic, Calhod, Ezembian, Honesing, Berele.

Do these sound familiar to you?

"None"

"Alleil, Plane, Terriston.

Do these sound familiar to you?

"None"

It makes Horn look amazed here.

The three things that Ellis raised are gods who support the world. Even children are told those stories once in their bedtime stories. It's impossible not to know.

Ellis was convinced in this reply.

Koske is not a displaced person.

An unfamiliar horn is tilting his neck.

To such horns and Kosuke, Ellis explains as he recalls a book he had read before.

"Displaced persons refer to those who come from outside this world. Three times in the past, it is said that such a person existed. They said they gave the world glory and chaos using knowledge and technology that this one does not.

Words don't make sense, naturally. Because the words I used don't exist here. You don't have to know the continent or the name of God. Because these only exist here. "

"Were you able to return to the world where the people who came to that past were?

Ellis shook her neck to the side in response to Yusuke's fearful question.

Everyone seems to have finished their lives in this world.

"... no way to go home?

"I don't know"

"There is magic and so on, the magic of the opposite summons"

"I am proud of one thing or another about magic, but I don't know what it is"

"Ellis is a known wizard all over the continent. That Ellis doesn't know, so maybe there's no magical way to get back."

"Uh... something else"

The two of them bowed their heads to Yusuke with a frightening look on their face.

"Sorry, we're not going to be able to help when it comes to returning"

"Excuse me."

Kosuke, who has lost hope, sneers.

Actually, it wasn't like Ellis had just one way of coming up with it. But that was unlikely to make it happen and could have ended in wasted time in jail.

The way I came up with it is to ask God. Unlike Earth, God exists here. Meeting that God and asking him if he can return is the way Ellis came up with it, but I don't know where I can see him, and I don't necessarily know how to return if I can.

Saying how to do this here inflated my expectations, accomplished a visit to the end of my struggle, and when I was told I didn't know, I thought it would be better to remain silent.

"You'll be tired in an unfamiliar wild boarding house, why don't you just rest?

Let's wait until we wake up. "

Horn also nodded to Ellis's suggestion that it would be difficult to continue the conversation any longer.

"Show Koske to the room. Keep the bath boiling in the meantime.

You'd want to get rid of the dirt, wouldn't you?

"It helps."

Thankfully, Horn takes Kosuke to one of the rooms.

Soon after falling asleep in bed, Kosuke thought about what was to come, sinking Ston and consciousness into the comfort of shaking the bed for a few days.

When Horn opened the door quietly to see how he was doing in the bath, Yusuke was asleep and asleep.

Horn calls out to Ellis and heads to the room he uses when he comes to visit. Horn was also tired the day after day and started to get into bed and get some sleep without a minute.

Ellis stays quiet so as not to disturb their sleep. Biting the joy of Horn being alive.
