The Former Hero Wants To Lead An Ordinary Life
111. Brave men capture ③
I took my seat, and I said, "Here you go," and I just reached for the sandwich in the box. From the plump, tender germ bread sticks out the stingy lettuce and the puffy, meaty chicken with a grilled color.
I hit a thick sandwich with a big mouth open.
The flavor of the germ fell through his nose, and the lettuce caught in the bread sneezed and made a delicious noise, and the fragrant incense of the smoked chicken spread all over his mouth. In my mouth is Miracle Wonderland.
... I mean, briefly, very equine.
"Do you like it?
"... sort of"
I answered that way with some honesty in my mouth.
But in all seriousness, he was already a sandwich captive (Toriko) in his hands.
After physical education, naturally, I'm also hungry. Who said hunger was the biggest seasoning? Anyway, good sandwich.
The fact that I haven't had a decent meal since last night adds up to thinking it might be the best I've ever had.
In addition to the sandwich, the lunchbox also contained fried skinned potatoes, minestrone soup and coleslaw salad. What a luxurious lunch menu. My usual lunch is more or less a bread meal, but I have often bought two or three loafers and confectionery breads. Even the same bread, much different.
Eat silently and obsessively, and in a flash, feel your gaze and look away at one.
"What the fuck?"
"No... you're gonna say hello before dinner,"
"...? You always do, don't you?
"Certainly at home. But... I never did (...) before"
……
I knew immediately that "before" was referring to a previous life, but I reached for the second sandwich in silence.
Honestly, that's a topic I don't really want to touch.
Different shapes, but similar greetings before meals in previous life...... there was a custom of praying to God. But I never went ahead and did it myself.
Of course, they sometimes only took shape in places where they were publicly invited as' brave ', but they did not pray for a meal, no matter how much the clergy blamed them, such as when they dined with their peers. It is a strange story to pray to God only at meals, because he hated worship itself furiously and avoided it in the first place.
It's just... it's almost customary for me now to hold hands with "I'll have it" before meals, and there was no more awareness of a special greeting.
I've been stuck with that by my mother since I was a young girl. It was me who accepted it comically, but for once, I asked who to pray to.
The mother thought for a while before answering "I'm not sure".
She laughed with her eyebrows in the letter "C" on me.
"I wonder if I'm thankful to be eaten rather than to who... It's obvious that you can have dinner, but it's not obvious."
That's what I added.
I was strangely convinced of the words, and since then I have been greeting people before meals without any resistance.
I do appreciate being able to eat.
"... you're totally Japanese."
"'Japanese', so it's obvious, right? … eat yourself now."
"I'm sure it's also your advantage not to look back..."
With a mouthful of depression somewhere, my brother zeroed in.
……… on the other hand, I don't even look back at all.
Fact is, last night, etc., I looked back.
"Hey... do you think Nezu is a fucking jerk?
I wanted to change the subject, so I asked my brother.
"... right, it's called using the Demon Mark, it's called the type of spell you cast, and it's also from the usage technique system... I think it's very likely."
My brother comes on board instead of showing dissatisfaction with my somewhat forceful change of subject, also with his hands on the sandwich set.
Seeing as the intrinsic noun went through with "fucking jittery," it would mean that my brother also had the perception that he was fucking jittery about him. Fucking tight is Sama, the royal magician who was one of us, of course.
"You know... even when I was a prince, I thought, isn't that crazy?
"What?
"What... why those guys...,"
Are you reincarnated?
Actually, first of all, that was the biggest mystery for me.
Being reincarnated means death in the world over there.
I know myself.
Even if I didn't know why I was' reincarnated ', I gradually convinced and understood that every time I was born, I was born again in this world, dying in battle with the Demon King.
I realized that this world was not the post-mortem world, the illusion world of the Demon King, or the virtual world I escaped into.
Strange story, but I think that meeting the Demon King has turned that feeling into something real.
As for my brother..., I didn't see him at the death of a cleric, I didn't get confirmation from him, but I feel like a dream I had before probably tells the truth as it is.
In his dreams, the cleric was... performing resuscitation to the brave in exchange for his own life.
My brother was born faster because I've heard stories about him being a little uncomfortable, but my brother was born prematurely, so I guess that's why. My brother and I haven't been away for a month on our birthday.
If you think that the starting point of reincarnation is not the time of childbirth, but the time at which life resides, a time lag can also be created depending on the pregnancy period of the mother.
The princess and the guardian knight, who apparently reincarnated one foot away, broke up on their way to the Demon King's Castle and left them before the Four Demons who were said to have second power over the Demon King in the Demon Nation, so they could presume to have lost their lives in that battle. I left them behind and went for the Demon King.
"Whether you're a prince or a fucking jerk, you're not the one who dies easily."
They were both alive at the time the Demon King and I met.
Then, after defeating the Demon King, you failed to escape from the realm of demons?
"... Impossible"
In the first place, before reaching the Demon King, the already powerful Demon Clan was almost extinct.
It was the last powerful demon tribe left to the princess and the guardian knight.
... If both the princess and the guardian knight fought for their lives, the opponent couldn't be unharmed. Probably perished or should have been good and dying. No matter what I thought, I couldn't think of a demon clan that could kill a returning prince and a prince. Whatever I say, my companions in the previous life had the power to do it with most demons for a thousand or even one, and they reached an unrivalled level when it came to demons around the final showdown.
The princess and the guardian knight, the four demons who took care of the two, are the dumil of prison flames - Yaichi Seo.
I'm sure there's a rebirth discrepancy between the princesses and Seto. Actually, he was strong, and I can't even think of a surviving Dumil... but he was uncomfortable in me. They said. "Go ahead," "I'll take care of this place," "I'll catch up with you soon," he said. Now it's a "death flag!" "But I believed in the princesses, and left them behind, and hastened ahead. There was such an exchange that it might just be unacceptable for the princesses to be defeated without a single arrow being rewarded by Dumil...
Is my brother feeling the same discomfort,
"I think I'm confused about that, too.... His Highness is just trying so hard to keep his mouth shut about what happened after the crusade, and he doesn't try to tell me what happened"
He seemed to be a former cleric and had a sinking face somewhere.
With that said, now seems to be the time to become alienated, but in the previous life the clergy and prince were intimate relationships. Enough for the two of you to wander around and come all the way to the castle's jail to see the braves.
... I felt that the sandwich that I had been feeling delicious earlier suddenly turned into something unsavory. I'm not talking about eating at meals, but I keep eating without stopping. In my previous life, I was Zara eating while talking about the smell of blood. Surrounded by a large crowd of demons, he has also continued to fight in insomnia. Fighting is about skill, but more importantly, it's about having the guts and strength.
At that time, I had to take turns taking meals and breaks, and naturally I didn't know what it tasted like when I put it in my mouth in such extreme conditions. Anyway, the taste was secondary, and I ate it just to nourish it. But it's frightening, but if you get used to the situation, then you're really hungry.
"There must have been something (...). I don't mean I'm here..."
"Right. - Perhaps something will change His Highness's nature."
"... it doesn't seem like a busy thing."
To be honest, I didn't really want to know.
This is what killed the prince and the sorcerer.... disturbing signs bind.
Besides, it's not there that matters when you hit it.
Whatever their cause of death, as a matter of fact, they have fulfilled their reincarnation and are in this land.
Prince, Mage, Cleric, Princess Knight, Guardian Knight, and Me.
- It was a matter of great importance and attention to me once that the key members who participated in the Demon King's Crusade were almost everywhere in this school.
If it's just the Demon King, it's still gathered in this school up to the other Demons.
They're reincarnated as human beings now, too, so maybe they don't even care.
... If it's just a concern, that's fine.
I would rather it be a struggle to get over it.
It's like...
It was as if the two had been gathered together to contend with each other again.
... I want someone to laugh and deny that such absurd thoughts are absurd.
But I can't purposefully wipe away my anxiety and suspicion behind my chest.
"It's not just about princes and jerks. It's riddled with mysteries from this island. - Tell me all about it. What the hell is this island..., this school?... Why did you call me to this island?
I've always wondered if it's okay to say things with some blush that the bond is tight - I hit my brother with suspicion of nesting in his chest.
"You said that before, didn't you? Most reborn men are involved in the Demon King's Crusade."
"... oh, I forgot about a lot of things, but I was giving you homework? Did you find the answer?
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I was frustrated and pointed my gaze at me, and my brother gracefully pinched the wind and potatoes and carried them to my mouth. I wonder why my brother's potatoes look more fancy when he's supposed to be eating the same thing. For once, in this world, being born is different, but growing up is a hassle together.
"... I thought about it, but I didn't know if it was evil."
"That kind of reopening attitude doesn't impress me. I honestly said, 'I didn't know. Tell me, brother,' and if you beg for help, even though you're cute..."
He blurred into a sigh of sighing that he had no choice, and I twisted (ha) without putting my hair in.
"Who says!
My brother, who now put his mouth on Minestrone and drank this elegantly again, spills another sigh of "Phew."... Happiness escapes when you just sigh, brother Chang.
"... have you given any thought to why reincarnates gather in this school...?
"That's the one, why do you hate me so much? If you don't know, just tell me."
So stuck, my brother interrupted his meal and somehow removed some of the thin booklets from the wooden cabinet placed on the wall.
That was a school brochure I used to see when I took the exam.
Probably something for visitors who use the interview room.
"Look at this. Look."
The brother, seated again, opens and places the brochure he brings in the empty space at the table.
A full opening page showed the landscape of the entire school island against the backdrop of the sea and sky. The contents of the school are bizarre and heavenly, but its exterior will probably boast some of the best beauty in the country. Only there can I honestly praise you.
For once, I was looking through the street when I filed my application, so the brochure photo looked familiar.
... Well, you look somewhat familiar, it was only a degree of memory.
"... what the hell is this..."
Asking me if I don't know what it means, my brother starts to read out the wording on the top right of the page.
"Wangdong School keeps asking for its true value, figuring and challenging"
"It will lead the future of the world to a light path"
"My school is for you who are in charge of the world."
"Learn, encourage, train, and mend in the name of the king's cave."
"To those who believe in their own power, the door to the future opens"
Even so, my brother followed the full text with great precision and tied the last sentence. It sucks, but I'm a little overheard. My brother's voice is beautiful and powerful. The same goes for voice, but intonation is streamlined. It has been so since previous life. I don't know if it's a skill acquired as a 'cleric' or a born one, but it's a definite fact that it's a voice that fascinates those who listen either way.... I didn't like it or nothing, so I ruined the beauty of it.
The text my brother spoke of is a school reference for this school.
It was a fairly large, upper-level appeal sentence, but the wording printed in precisely large letters remains the image of Wangdong School.
... but I still don't know why my brother read it out.
arrow tips that I tried to question so much,
'He who desires power. Collected in my school.
Now the words of my previous life flow out of my brother's mouth.
My brother did not replace a sentence written in Japanese with a previous life word.
I found no such wording anywhere.
When I look at my brother with a frown that I seriously don't know what that means, my brother shows the last sentence at his fingertips.
"It says here. - It's a common letter in that world."
I drop my eyes there on the open page.
I didn't know it all the time, I didn't realize it, but I found something like a thinly printed letter in diagonally overlapping form under a letter written in Japanese.
I thought it was just designed to shadow the letters, and - I don't know the letters over there in the first place. Even if I could speak, I couldn't read or write the letters.
The letters there do not resemble Japanese… somewhere inorganic, they were shaped like a mixture of Roman numerals and symbols.
When my brother told me, I finally remembered that it was a letter I had once seen, even if I couldn't read it.
- Yes, it was a letter like this...
I never tried to learn, the symbol of the privileged class.
That humans who recognize letters were in equals, environments where they could learn about it.
It was a privilege given only to humans who were wealthy, had time to learn and had not had to work from an early age.
Put a lid on the bitter feeling that sprang up rapidly in your chest, and I'll check with my brother.
- I could understand just as well if it was suggested so far.
"You mean the ones who saw this are gathered here?
