The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

"You know, I've been thinking..."

In a curtain building made of thick cloth, thirteen people looked at each other surrounded by wooden tables - Utano and Yuichiro, who knew the circumstances, and Yuichiro, who told them in the commercial city (Merdiole). Ryu opened his mouth, trying to represent nine people except the four who added me.

Now, Anastasia and Knight, Mr. O'Brien and the others are out of their seats. The only people who are here are those who have been summoned by Japan.

"- You're actually an idiot, aren't you?

"I don't want fools to call me stupid"

"Then you're an idiot."

... I can't say it back any more, so I mumble my mouth.

To tell Elle about his death and turn it on me that he would be angry, it was too... somehow, isn't it a mild word?

Looking back at Ryu, the person exhales and sits deeply in the chair.

Outside, it's raining. Rain grains descending from cloudy skies hit the curtain building cloth and the May fly.

But it's like that time. Killed Naifer, and Elle died. Similar to that time - that's why I felt so sad, nostalgic and frustrated when I was told that I was stupid even though I told Elle about his death, a subtle feeling.

Ah, and. Big, deep. I exhaled.

"Regardless of Yuichiro, whom I recently heard, Yuko told Yuko. You, too."

…………

"I have no words to give back."

"Don't dress up till this time, you idiot"

Angry...... are you there?

He was hiding the truth about Elle's death. But Ryu's reaction is more like being somewhere frightened than angry.

Moving his gaze, Kyushu and Fujido, who are similarly sitting in a chair looking at this one, are silent as they listen to Ryu, and Kudo and Soichida are surprised that they don't know what to do with the youth group.

"If you think you suddenly disappeared, because you hid Elle's death? Because you brought Ermenhilde back to life?

"Oh, oh."

"Tell me then. I was worried. This one sounds stupid."

"... but"

"Because Elle said he wanted you to laugh, huh?

Reply to the words.

El's, last words. Last wish.

He wants me to laugh. He said he likes to smile.

So I hid Elle's death from everyone. I couldn't hide it from Utano or Kotaro, who were there at the time of his death, but to Ryuda... to the children, I hid it.

Because it was Elle's death, and I didn't want you to cry.

The battle is over, because I didn't want to cloud that smile.

But Ryu sighed again after hearing my thoughts like that.

"Idiot."

"... asshole, don't say it, idiot"

"Ugh, you big idiot"

"In the meantime, let's not talk like kids"

Nine Seasons opens his mouth so as to get between me and Ryu, who almost got into a fight and talked.

I always have a soft grin on that look, and this one doesn't look very surprised either. Well, in his case, iron skin or poker face, the expression doesn't work unless there's so much going on.

But I agree with Ito.

"... nine seasons."

"Maybe everyone here... Yuichiro, what do you think?

"I... do you have any idea how Mr. Lotus feels?"

The brown-skinned young man with long stretched gray hair looks at this one once as he tends to lay low and squeaks like that as he strays from his gaze.

"Me too, because I lost Mr. Celestia... just a little bit, I get it"

"So, you too... if we hadn't gone to help, if we hadn't seen Mr. Ceres die, would you have hidden it?

"It's..."

"Yes, sir. Yuichiro, I don't want to embarrass you, Taka."

"Who's Taka!?

Kudo teases Ryu, who is about to have a strong tone, and changes the direction of his spearhead.

I know it was meant to be, but the guy who used to be a drawer changed a lot, even if he was just in front of us.

"Well, but. I think Yamada's a fool, too."

"... Kudo too"

"'Cause you're misthinking about El's will."

"What?"

To that word, turn your gaze to Kudo.

Utano and Kotaro say nothing. Yuichiro sighed, as if Kudo knew what he was trying to say.

"Are you seriously unaware?

It's like they say I'm the only one who hasn't noticed, Ryu says in such a voice.

"Yamada was a straight line, I suppose."

"Are you fooling me, Fujido?"

"Didn't you hate the fool, stupid?

Guru, and. I try to argue, but I close my mouth without being able to argue because I don't know what Kudo wants to say.

Even now, I can remember the sight of El during his death.

But it was also true that that sight, which I had dreamed of before, was fading now.

Wounds are healing.

Time heals me.

No flesh wounds, no heart wounds.

However... Kudo's, Ryuda's words ignore the time spent in healing the wounds. That was a word, too.

Because.

I was hiding it.

I was lying.

I was cheating.

Even so, they don't beat me or yell at me.

He's an idiot. They say he's an idiot, but that voice isn't angry from the core. Either that or when we were traveling together... when we were talking stupid. No, voices.

"Don't fall in love until after a year, you idiot"

"... what?

"Elle did, I liked your smile. Not us."

In that word, the body hardens.

I'm stuck breathing.

"You're the one Elle wanted me to laugh at. You're the one who didn't want me to cry. It's not us. Not even the kids."

Loud. Loud, Ryu exhales.

And I slapped Fujido's shoulder sitting next to him.

"I already... wish you'd say it to the end"

"I've never liked people. I can't tell you it's love."

"Then I wish I could leave it to Mr. Nine Seasons..."

"Because I'm not experienced enough to talk about love and love to people"

"Not even me... not at all"

And Cohon, and one cough.

Fujido, told the story, turns a solid gaze at me. I didn't know, my heart rattled nervously.

"Elle said to Yamada, Only to Mr. Yamada. Not us. Yuko, but not Kotaro... Yamada wants me to laugh. He wants me not to cry."

Fujido tells me, as chewed up, gently and slowly.

That was, like, a year ago. That time Elle died. - I don't think she liked us, just the words she liked me...... is it?

When I realized, the gaze of everyone surrounding the table was right for me. That gaze suddenly embarrasses me, concealing my mouth with my right hand and lowering my face.

"Baaka"

To me like that, Ryu says.

Everyone laughed.

Bright. Gentle laughter.

"It was just a love affair if you came because you wanted to talk about something important."

"Totally."

"After this battle, you made a good drink dish."

"I've already decided to drink..."

Nine seasons and Ryu, and Fujido are laughing and talking.

Other faces, too. Though the Soichita youngsters still have a hard expression, I guess the reason they're not as surprised as I thought was because Ryuda is bright.

"Is that all we're talking about?

"Oh, oh..."

"Then we're going back. I'm busy forming a team."

"Me, too."

I have to get ready for lunch.

"I want to sleep again..."

"You're oversleeping. Move your body a little or you'll get fat."

"Me, no matter how much I've eaten for a long time, I'm not fat."

As usual. The guys walk out of the curtain building talking brightly.

Well, yeah.

I don't have time to be dark. If you feel depressed, your sword muscles will become dull, and it will be you who will die.

But we're heroes, and we're not allowed to die.

If we try to die, the people around us will take refuge. In our place, another dies.

So I can't stay depressed.

We have to laugh, we have to be bright, we have to fight, we have to survive.

"Lianshi"

Ryu tried to get out of the curtain building, but looked back at the end.

"You're too worried. Think softer - and trust us more."

That's all I'm saying, I'm leaving.

All that's left is the youth group and Mr. Utano - Kotaro is gone at some point. Did you escape with metastatic magic because you couldn't stand the atmosphere on this occasion?

"Hmm."

Exhale, exhale.

It may also be rude to Elle that the shoulder load has fallen, but I was finally able to tell her. Is it right that it is open?

Hidden things, lies... I think I've just realized that it's tremendously stressful to build that up.

"Brother, just now, it's true"

"Hmm? Oh, well, what? I'm sorry I kept it hidden."

And the feeling of emancipation, or the back of my chest is lightened, I can't even speak to myself like that, poking a single elbow at my desk and dropping items.

Love. Love. Ah... I didn't mean to. Somehow, when they say that to me from the adults, I can't help but think it was the content of a story that really couldn't help being received that way.

I am ashamed to see Soichi. - And he held his arm vigorously as it was.

When I looked up surprised at the sudden, Ami's face immediately to the front. In the corner of his sight, Soichi, Yayoichi and Masaki looked surprised by the sweatshirt.

"Mr. Lotus."

"Yes, sir"

…………

They call me by my name and respond.

But then words that are supposed to leak are not spinned out of its mouth until hours later.

Just on the front, there's a neat Ami face.

I've never known you and been summoned to this world to be so close to your face. Close enough to say whether you're here or not. Fishing eyes that represent the strength of your chi, so much so that you're likely to even see your face in those black eyes.

"I'll never make you cry again."

"Ooh?

"I will never make Mr. Lotus cry."

That's all I said, Ami leaving early enough out of the curtain building with the hands I was grabbing. In doing so, why did you grab Soichi and Yayoichi's hand?

Keep the three of us out of here...

"Hey, why are you leaving me there? Hey!?

"Shah!?

And Masaki, who was left behind, pulls her hand and leaves the curtain building.

It's raining outside, but it's fine.

"What ah...?

"Be that girl, words of encouragement, isn't it?

Couscous and Utano were laughing as they hid their mouths with their hands.

"Inspiration?"

"Because Elle died and made you cry... I think it's a sign of intent that I'm not going to die"

That's what they taught me, and I finally got good at it and raised the missing voice between "oh" and "oh".

If Ami were here, she would surely be admired for bluntness.

"Good for you."

I don't know.

Responding with a distracted voice, Utano also rises from his seat.

"I'm coming, too."

"Oh."

…………

I'll go, I won't move as I say.

Your mouth looks tense enough to say something, wait still without saying anything.

"Hey."

"Yeah."

"... Yamada, do you like this world?

"Oh."

I wonder what the intent is on that question.

With that in mind, mouth the answer as you wish. I'm not talking about earlier - no more lies, no more secrets, no more punishment.

"I like it. If you don't like it, you don't have electricity, TV, the Internet, you don't have a car, you don't have a plane, you don't want to live in this other world."

"Right."

Kusuri, and.

An adorable laugh leaked out of his mouth, unusual for Mr. Utano.

"Me too."

Solid voice.

Step aside. Two, three steps - stand in front of you, drop your hips. As close as Ami was earlier, her face is.

"I like it."

Always the 'wise man' on the top of the Buddha said so with a full grin.

"So why don't you just die?

"I know, I know."

I'm not dying.

I was laughing.

Everybody was just like always.

So I won't die.

What Elle said to me.

I...

"Because I don't want everyone to cry, and I want you to laugh"

- Turn it on everyone.
