Sendai Yuusha wa Inkyou Shitai

Ten days have passed since I stayed in Nordjord for labyrinth attacks and more.

That was an arrow tip where the unusual weather had healed and I thought it was time to leave.

"I can't go to Gallarier. Take it!? Explain what you're gonna say!

Quon's roar echoes in the harbor. Take it, the captain of the merchant ship we were on freaked out.

"Su, suiyasu lady. But you can't just sell off quite a few shipments of food on this island and go to the gallery like this. Come on."

"Mmm... that's not how it works. It's the sailors' implicit rules to do that when they might ruin the load."

But then, once we get back to Be Io, we'll head to Gallarier from there.... He won't make it to the demonic act in time.

"Can't you have me on another ship?

Looking around, we still saw some boats, though less than we had initially come to this island. It is Bernadette's idea to have him on board, but the captain of the merchant ship gives a reluctant face to the proposal.

"There's no one left to go directly to Gallarier on the boat. Come on. They're going to the Gallery, and the storm clears or they're going to sail right away."

"Rest in peace?"

With such a renunciation mood drifting around our ears, a voice as bright as it seemed to be loud.

"Oh no, looks like you're in trouble, brunette!!

Angelica screaming out loud and waiting behind her to beat the waves, Knoppo and the little one. Angelica seems to be in a good mood, she's a doorman.

"What can I do for you, three idiots? I'm sorry, but I can't afford to deal with you guys right now."

"I can't take you, brunette. We broke through the labyrinth together."

I answered slightly in a bad mood, but Angelica approached the crossing of her nose as if she was in such a good mood that she didn't care about it.

"Whatever... you can put him on the ship of Atashi and the others, right?

Angelica laughing niggardly. If you're going to put me on a flying airborne, I'd appreciate it... but I don't see it coming from good intentions, no matter what.

I wonder if they will issue some kind of exchange condition.

"... what are the terms?

"It's quick and helpful.... How about an empty journey to Gallarier at 20,000 f per head?

20,000...,

It's not expensive, it's not cheap, it feels like I said aptitude price? No, a ship is still a flight away.

You can serve a little more if you want to take customers.

"So? Is that all you need?

Yes. These guys are pirates, even if they rot. There's no way it ends at such a price of conscience.

Angelica grinned when I asked her about the evidence.

"It's helpful to know."

Angelica unbuttoned one of her blouses and took something out of the valley of her chest.

Oh, it's a black bra.

"A piece of paper (gear paper) from the contract. I need you to sign this."

It was a parchment scroll.

"Paper pieces of the contract... you got Liang-kun"

Paper pieces of the contract. It's a magic item about a contract as the name suggests, an easy ability to say it activates with the consent of both parties to the contract and makes them comply with the paper-based contract.

But the piece of paper in this contract is so powerful.

First, as soon as the contract is signed, this parchment is granted magic and curse resistance.

It cannot be destroyed by half-breed magic, nor does it accept the reduction of potency by the curse.

And if you think you've been able to destroy it, this time a penalty will be activated against the contractor.

Few magic items have been so far enforceable and are especially treasured by those involved in national politics.

Now this magic item, because of the strength of its abilities or because of its high price.

But I think parchment, the market value of hundreds of thousands of f is a piece of crap.

"If you sell the items you pick up in Nordjord, you'll get a good amount."

Do you want some dust?

"Uh, what?...... 'Prohibition of hostilities against Angelica von Bolteny on board. Angelica von Bolteny's Guardianship and Attacks on Hostiles in Combat Operations Occurring on Board'?... what the hell ah"

I thought they were going to make unscrupulous demands like 'be a slave' because they came out with powerful magic items like paper pieces of the contract, but that's a much more important demand than I expected.

"Insurance during what if. They're pirates in the sky. They have many enemies."

"Well, I know that, but I can't use a piece of paper from a contract..."

I almost said that I would normally help... and I noticed Angelica sweating on my forehead.

"... be honest, what am I to be fought for"

Even though I felt a bad feeling, I asked Angelica if it was going to happen or if she took her gaze off of me and looked up in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"... Ri, Dragon Knight (Dragoon) or something?

"Dragon Knight (Dragoon) is an army!

Dragon Knight. As the name suggests, a knight with a dragon as his partner.

Driving dragons and flying through the sky, pioneers of the sky.

While its absolute number is small, dragon knights are deployed in almost every country except some.

That should do the same. Because dragons that can fly through the sky and attack powerful braces can be a great force in a few.

"Well, nothing always means a dragon knight shows up.... just"

"" It was on this island that the Dragon Knight attacked me and it was untimely, wasn't it, Mr. Tsubaki!

"Son of a bitch! I wouldn't have called you Captain about Atashi!

I sighed as I watched Angelica yelling at the little one and Knoppo.

"It's not like we absolutely have to do anything together, is it?

"Well, yes. But what if there was one?

"Good enough to help sprinkle"

"Let's hit it with our hands."

Angelica rounds up a piece of contract paper and turns it into the valley of her chest again.

Why are you in the valley of your chest? Should I not ask?

"When can you get a flying airborne?

"The Black Rose is ready to launch right now. If you don't have a lot of plans, just get on it."

We don't have the kind of baggage we need to carry, and most of the baggage is ready to board because Zulva carries it.

I have finished greeting Ahat, and I have nothing to do on this island.

Then I'll be glad to give you a ride.

"Yong"

That's what Fiona called me when she tried to walk out to a place with a flying airborne.

"Then say goodbye here."

Somewhere lonely, Fiona cut it out.

"Uh... Fiona's not coming?

"When did you say I would accompany you on your journey?"

Fiona, who tells you like you're scared. Well, so is that. Fiona's been investigating the ruins on this island since before we first arrived.

……

……

We have words for each other, we can be silent. It was Fiona who broke it.

"I wish the Demon King was a world where there was no such thing as a brave man"

That way, I control Fiona with my hand.

"I had no regrets about that trip three years ago. In the end,...... I don't regret it now. I don't want to regret it."

……

"I know you can get involved in battle, but I'm still walking away at my stride. I don't like being pulled."

Did you hear somewhere? Great power involves great responsibility or something.

That's what Fiona said several times about responsibility.

If you have the power to save someone, if you have the power to save the world.

But...

"Besides, a brave man can only defeat a demon king.... do something else on your own. I think so, brave man."

Brave men are not mediators. No matter how hard you try, you are only there to defeat the Demon King.

"Yes.... so my advice was superfluous"

I answer Fiona, who laughs at herself.

"No, it guided me.... Sorry."

SEE THE WORLD...... I felt core in Fiona's words for the purpose of such a vague journey......

"What the hell..."

I let Fiona do something like hate.

But I'm not saving anybody as a brave man.

Brave men are the ones who defeat the Demon King.... If you take that off, you can't call that a brave man. I'm not going to be a messiah.

"See you later."

"... Yep. Again."

That said, we broke up with Fiona and headed for the airborne.
