"Tomorrow you should say hello to an adventurer I know in Narsena."

"Yes... I'm sorry, it's a corner break..."

"Never mind. I can rest enough just not to go into the labyrinth. Well, it's early tomorrow. Let's get some sleep."

"Yes, good night, brother!

After dinner, he greeted me like that and I broke up with my brother in the lodge.

Then I opened the door to my room and desperately kept my expression down until I went inside...

"Yay!

... but the moment I walked into my room, I shouted as I buried my face in the pillow of the bed at the limit of suppressing my emotions.

But even then, my joyful emotions will not heal.

I roll all over the bed with my face slackened loose.

"I wonder if you remember your promise to me, brother!

The reason I'm in such a good mood, that was because of the phrase "don't remember that kid" your brother told me on my way home from the city.

There is no certainty that the girl you were talking about is really me.

"Well, you've totally changed the color of your hair back then..."

If this turns out to be actually a mistake, I may not be ashamed to show my brother my face for a few days or so.

- But if your brother really remembered me, and he remembered me when he saw me.

That's what makes me so happy that I can't help it.

"Wow!

I can no longer stand that impulse of happiness, rolling around on the bed again with my pillow pressed against my face.

I am glad I have worked really hard already to convince my parents and become an adventurer.

With that in mind, I was driven again by the urge to roll over the bed...

"... no!

... but this time I managed to hold onto the urge.

If we keep making noise like this, we might make noise with the sound of it sounding like a nearby room.

That was something I would never have seen before.

"Your brother's in a room nearby too..."

Whatever, my brother and I are staying in the same room now.

I really had a lot of difficulty getting to this situation.

Because at any rate your brother cared about me and didn't shake my head vertically at all to the suggestion to stay in the same inn.

Somehow, at the end of the day, we were at a party... or we were forced to admit it by crying down.

"Eh heh..."

Aware that I'm in the same inn as your brother again, I unwittingly loosen that mouth.

Because it really took a lot of work to get here.

... Apparently your brother still only recognizes me as a junior adventurer.

How long the hell did it take you to live in the same inn if you didn't use the cry drop...

However, I did not intend to be satisfied with my current condition, and I was slowly trying to reduce my distance from my brother.

"But I won't give up... Yes, buy a party joint house someday..."

That's about it. I turn my face bright red.

Living in a house with me, that imagination alone made me feel terribly ashamed.

Of course, I think that if I could have a romantic relationship with your brother beyond that...

"Uh-huh!

... I can be too shy to hold hands even in my imagination.

Then for a while I fell asleep on the bed with my mouth loose but decided to go to bed already thinking about tomorrow.

Anyway, I'm going to the Adventurers Guild pretty early tomorrow morning.

"Besides, I have to go to the Adventurer Guild tomorrow, and something may go wrong with your brother tangling..."

Though I thought so, I began to get my bed in order to go to bed early, but a certain question arose in my chest and I stopped.

"And why is your brother so low on self-esteem..."

That was the question I began to have as I spent the past few days with my brother...

◇ ◆ ◇

From what I've seen over the past few days, your brother has never underestimated his own abilities.

I have a good understanding of that by myself, how far I can go in the lower levels in any condition, and even a general awareness that any Warcraft would be able to defeat me on its own.

... but your brother is grossly undervalued when it comes to his own worth.

In the case of healing magic, it is understandable that your brother was busted by the healers and that there are few healers in the first place, and you cannot see their activity, so there are no criteria for judgment.

But your brother's perception of his overall value is also quite low.

I do have to say that your brother's abilities are distorted.

Anyway, your brother's abilities are too professional.

If you stop as an avant-garde, you can't attack more than tow, and if you focus on attack, you can barely defend yourself.

I would have to say that the avant-garde is quite biased, given that it demands stagnation and high offensive power.

But you still have the ability to say you're okay.

Anyway, your brother has the ability to stop that Hydra by himself.

... Nonetheless, your brother assumed he was useless.

That brother's low self-esteem does not only affect his attitude toward adventurers, it also affects his attitude toward people in the city.

Your brother has a verse that he thinks was accepted by the people of the city because of me, but that's not accurate.

Anyway, the people in the city are breaking it down because I'm with your brother.

The people of the city have long noticed that your brother has been unwittingly warning the adventurers who are trying to behave violently towards the people of the city.

Apparently they hid their faces, but the city folks figured it out right away in their backs.

... but your brother assumed that he, the adventurer, was hated by the people of the city, and because of that he became able to interact with the people of the city so much later.

The brother's low self-esteem for himself was unusual.

That is all the more so because your brother himself is aware that he has some strength.

Understanding that I have strength, I don't know why I'm so low on self-esteem, and I twist my neck.

"... well, it's been lately, and I don't know what else to think about it."

... but there were no answers or anything like that, and I decided to give up my thoughts lightly.

If your brother still had a bad attitude, he's regaining a little confidence now.

The evidence came with a little confidence in the tone, and less self-inflicted.

"Well, it's not like I have to give you an answer as soon as possible right now."

Yes, I decided, and now it's time for me to fall asleep on the bed...
