The Former Hero Wants To Lead An Ordinary Life
20. Brave men flee
I spent the first half of the summer vacation in the hospital, and even after I was discharged, I didn't play with anyone and I didn't see them, and I turned down all the invitations and pulled them home.
Having lived a complete Neat life, I was immersed in what a depraved idea Neat might not be bad either.
For the sake of world peace, I'm sure I should be Neat. In the room, I was ketching on Lanobe's brave men, going to knock down the demon king of the game, making harlems surrounded by two-dimensional beautiful girls - and I was sending a summer vacation opposite such a healthy elementary school student. This is so much fun. Parents will cry though.
"... Hey Sho, are you sure? Weird, aren't you using it? My mothers were going to wait another year and a half..."
My worried mother confirmed my intentions several times, but my resolve never turned.
- I already made up my mind.
Besides, I wasn't lost in this decision.
I believe this is the best.
One day the basin passed too.
I visited Uchi, who lives in the same company.
"Yo."
"Cookie...! Are you kidding? That's so white! Are you in the sun?
"You were so caged up in the house. You're black."
"I've been to the pool and the ocean! It's me this year, but next year we'll be together."
I laughed and shook it up, and went up to the Uchimura family with all the other people I knew.
There was no sign of anyone else at home.
"... what about your aunt?
Uchi's mother is usually at home because she is a full-time housewife. That's when I asked, "I'm shopping with my brother" returned.
I called ahead of time to say I was going to visit around noon in anticipation of that, so it was just as I thought.
"I'm sorry. Were you following me?
"Because it could have been either way. If you're going to come play cookie, heck at all."
"I'd like your room today, not the living room."
"Fine, but... what's up? I'm not feeling well. Are you still not feeling well?
Externally, I was supposed to be at home.
The wound was almost completely healed in front of the basin, and I would do something with my temper if I was injured to the point where I had a little crack in the first place. - No, in this world, my mother scolds me, so I make it big. I'm not as impotent as I used to be. That's why he's so scared when he gets angry.
I brought in the right snack treats and juice to Uchi's room (albeit jointly with my brother) and each sat in bed with reason. Uchi to the right. I'll take the left. A fixed position that has somehow been determined.
I read cartoons in this room, played games, and when I was younger, I played indoors and my aunt threw me thunder. Uchi and I grew up like brothers.
Because I was an only child and had no father, the Uchimura family really took care of me.
This room is packed with many memories.
It's a very important place for me.
Uchi was my childhood friend, my first time, including in my previous life.
"Me, I'm going to transfer."
I believed so for no reason that Uchi and I would grow up together.
"Is..., what? Transfer? Seriously!?
"Seriously."
"Ugh, why suddenly"
"My mother's getting remarried, and I'm moving to my stepfather. So since the second semester, I'm not at that school anymore."
At the end my voice shook just a little.
Uchi seems lucky he didn't notice, and he's staring at me.
"... that's it. Uh. A little shocked. I thought maybe remarriage was too much, but I didn't get that far. That's right. Sometimes you do."
Is it a sign of surprise to stretch the end of the story?
I find it kind of dazzling that Uchi is in blatant shock.
I thought I might accept the offer lightly because it was about this guy.
It conveys that Uchi feels that way just as much as I miss him.
However, the greater the joy, the more painful it was.
I'll shut up and wait for Uchi to change my mind.
I beat faster than usual because I'm nervous, not even on the pattern.
"So, where are you moving?
The question I had anticipated in advance finally came up.
- Probably, this completely cuts off my edge with Uchi.
"I can't teach you that. No place to move, no new phone numbers, no transfer, I'm not gonna tell anyone, and I'm gonna let the school side stop me."
"Huh... why?
I apologize in my heart to Uchi, who rounds his eyes like he's been eaten. But I don't apologize by mouth.
"Because I want to erase Sho Sato"
Erase the elementary school student named Sho Sato who was at Suzuhara Elementary School from this world.
As things stand, that was the only way I could do it.
I can't be beside the Demon King anymore. - You can't stay.
I will never see the Demon King again.
And to those who could lead to the Demon King,... I don't see him.
Among them is Uchi.
The same goes for the guys at school.
"Cookie, what are you talking about? I don't know what that means."
"You don't have to know. I just came to insulate you today."
"... it!
Uchi's face is red with anger.
... I don't know much about burning it in the day now, but Uchi's face turned red as soon as he got excited. He's like a monkey and he's cute. I must have loved this friend. No, I'm sure you'll always love it.
I also thought about disappearing without telling anyone anything, but I still just wanted to tell Uchi. - Even if it's a fight breakup.
My tear glands sucked, so I cut off my untrained when it fit just in time, and I lifted my hips.
"Bye, Uchi.... Be well."
I'm sure he'll be fine, but I hope you're healthy. Wherever you are, stay away.
"No kidding!
"Wow!
Uchi came screaming and tackling me as I tried to get up.
And I rolled over unsupported, horseback riding over me, grabbing my collar and shaking it hard.
"Hey...! Shit! Shit...!
"Don't say run away! You're too selfish!? At least tell me why! I don't know!
"I can't tell you, and I won't! It doesn't matter to you!
"Huh!? Stupid! It doesn't matter!! Bogus! Only good! Yum only!"
"Normally, say silly!
"I mean, you're more of an idiot than an idiot!
"You're rude to horses and deer!?
What do you say to fancy ingredients? Apologize to the horse and the deer.
"Anything - that's not true!!
- Sure.
No, horses and deer aren't any good.
We got a little chilled out.
Uchi said, holding my voice down with both hands gripping my collar tightly.
"... the Demon King has gone awry. I miss you so much. If you're a caretaker, take good care of him till the end."
My chest hurts.
"You're already... you're gonna be okay"
I thought it was pitiful.
"There's as much money in my place as there is."
"If you're serious, I'm really mad."
"... you're already so angry"
"more. i get so angry that my hair stands upside down"
"That's what I call angry hair."
I've grown my Mandarin skills a lot, too. It's more vocabulary than a genuine Japanese Uchi, isn't it?
"Why... Wake up."
"... sorry"
"... can't we see each other anymore?
"Yeah, I won't see you"
"Never?"
"Absolutely"
"... you really suck. Like crying down...... seriously sucks"
From both my eyes looking up, a clear Shizukuishi passed through my eyeballs.
"I'm sorry. I can't do this. Step aside."
of sleigh and utchy out of my way.
I woke up and wiped my tears with the back of my hand.
I can't really pity you for crying or anything.
I didn't think it would be so hard to not be able to see Uchi or the rest of them.
I think I was happy here.
I'm sure this is what it's like to lose it and find out.
It was a feeling I hadn't experienced much in my previous life.
In the previous world, loss was in a way routine, so I had some mindset. Because it was Zara's world that the life I had by my side yesterday was no longer there today.
But not here.
I never thought I'd leave with Uchi.
Not to mention the fact that he wasn't even as smart as Dew that he was going to decide to break up his whole life like this.
My daily routine was so peaceful, peaceful and mediocre that I couldn't think of anything like a sudden breakup.
- Not until the demon king shows up.
"Oh, don't do it."
Uchi doesn't even sound like him, he makes a throwing voice.
"No problem, okay. I don't know about flirtatious childhood anymore."
……
"Be my guest."
"... ah"
'Cause I'm on my own, too.
…
"I'll take the liberty of searching to see you. Besides, maybe we'll meet again by chance, right? Then I'll sneak up on you to your house."
- What the hell is that?
"It's a stalker declaration."
"Tell me if you don't want to be."
"Oh, my God."
"So what do we do?
Uchi's face is too handsome to laugh at and he's going to fall in love.
What do you mean, he's a monkey and he's handsome?
(This guy really is no longer...)
This is what happened to me when I hit him in the head with a sword in nursery and made him cry.
You were crying so hard, when I apologized, you forgave me so much, I laughed in the face that I had no choice. Uchi and I started playing together because of that. We've been friends ever since we were little kids.
- Thank you for forgiving me.
Have unspoken words been passed down again with zero fallen tears?
You were my friend, and I enjoyed it.
If I see you again, - will you be my friend again?
I broke up with Uchi with such a long wish.
* * *
I relinquished all responsibility for being a brave man and fled the Demon King.
Whatever the force majeure element of family circumstances is, if you don't want to completely cut off the edge,... it would have worked out.
In fact, there are only a few things that I can do right now in elementary school.
The contact tool would be a home phone call, a letter or so.
Still, I didn't try to do what I should have managed to do with my efforts, but disappeared from before the Demon King.
Using parents remarriage just for convenience......
At that time, I believed it was the best.
He said that if he left himself, the Demon King could be "human".
Without being killed by the Demon King, - he said he could stay without killing the Demon King.
Without even thinking about how that might affect the Demon King.
Don't even know you'll catch up with yourself later.
I swung it all off and ran away from the Demon King.
