"... Laust, I have to tell you something"

"... why are you here?

I, Marguls, the leader of the party lightning sword that Laust was in, was suddenly told that two days after I fought the Wolf of Disaster.

The Marguls were waiting in the Adventurer's Guild, and they showed up shortly after Narsena disappeared.

Me and Narsena came to the Adventurers Guild today to deal with the aftermath of the Wolf of Disaster, and after all the trouble I had finally finished, I felt refreshed.

... But that feeling disappeared in the appearance of the Marguls, and I almost distorted my face unexpectedly.

There have been rumours in the Alliance that two days ago, I knew that the Lightning Sword had been stripped of all the authority granted to a first-rate party by the Alliance's direct adventurer.

And that's why I'm bittersweet about being reunited with the Marguls.

When I was on the lightning sword, Marguls and I were violently violent when we were in a mood for something.

And I thought that might be why I just showed up. [M]

"I'm sorry about what I've been through."

"I'm really, really sorry"

"... Huh?

That's why I couldn't hide my agitation against the Marguls, who suddenly bowed their heads to me.

But Marguls and the others don't realize how I am like that, and keep their heads down and their words going.

"Maybe you already know, we lightning swords have been demoted from the top notch.... but we can understand now that we deserved it. Anyway, he was banishing a man who was the greatest credit to his party."

"... I'm so sorry Laust. We had no idea how much you worked for our party."

I couldn't hide my agitation from those Marguls' words of apology. [M]

Whatever Marguls and the others say, that's all I've ever wanted.

... That's why I couldn't hide my distrust from the Marguls who whispered those words so conveniently.

"... If it's true, maybe you should think it's a disgrace to show your face this way too. But even in that shame, there was something I had to tell you. You're being targeted by adventurers for defeating the Wolf of Disaster! … so, to protect you, would you please go into the lightning sword again"

"The lightning sword is not another first-rate party. But I know his name somewhat. Then if Laust gets into the lightning sword, the adventurers might hesitate to attack, and if they do, we can fight together."

"Oh, thank you"

But that's how I thank Marguls and Serveria for telling me that with a truly worrying look.

It's not that I don't feel distrustful, but that's what I've decided that Marguls and Serveria are probably not enemies now.

"But now I have people I can count on. So you don't have to worry so much about me."

"... Huh?

But I don't care if Marguls and the others are hostile, I didn't mean to go into the lightning blade.

- I don't see the adventurers who are attacking me as a threat in the first place.

Seeing that we had defeated the wolf of disaster, me and Narsena realised that there were adventurers who were trying to attack us, whether they feared reprisals or could not forgive the man they viewed as flawed.

But to the extent of the adventurer, me and Narsena can do anything.

That's not confidence, it's certainty.

So I had no desire or need to take Marguls' suggestion.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

"Hmm?"

... but Marguls and the others blued their faces for some reason to my words, which I told them to reassure.

At the next moment, Marguls and the others opened their mouths to me in a hurry.

"Laust, your party members must be just women trying to use you. So I won't say anything bad. Cancel the party immediately and put it on the lightning sword..."

"What?"

Marguls desperately tries to convince me to return to the lightning sword.

... but the word was only counterproductive.

Anyway, the words turned my distrust of Marguls and the others into clear hostility.

"Ra, Laust?

Marguls blues his face to my atmosphere, which has obviously changed.

That was an impossible sight, given the relationship between me and Marguls so far.

But even that was nothing more than a matter for me now.

I opened my mouth to Marguls, driven by anger. [M]

Nothing. I didn't see the lightning sword as my enemy.

"If so..."

There is hope in Marguls' face in my words.

"My people are alone in Narsena. If you're hostile to his people, I'll crush the lightning blade."

"Huh!"

But I looked at it cold and threw it away. [M]

At the end of the day, after the Adventurer Alliance, Marguls and the others never followed me...

◇ ◆ ◇

"Oh, brother, you've come to take more care of me from the wolf of disaster thing..."

To Marguls, when your brother was revealing his anger, I, Narsena, watched as he blushed a little in the shadows.

It's not my fault these days, I obviously feel that my brother is being nice to me and that I feel stronger about taking care of my brother in me.

"What are you doing, Marguls! Come on, we're going after Laust!

"Ma, wait. Sometimes he looks..."

"You don't have to be top notch anymore!

"Huh! I'm not chasing you..."

... That's why I couldn't hide my anger when I saw those two pairs who like to say whatever they want to use your brother.

I confirm your brother is gone from the guild and open his mouth.

"What? Cancel the party. You must be the ones trying to use your brother."

"Oh? What the hell, you, we're busy right now...... ho"

In response to my words, which suddenly sounded, Marguls stares at this one.

But at the next moment, that face of Marguls, who saw my appearance, loosened to a lowly desire.

"It's disgusting"

"Damn!"

... and the next moment I was disgusted by that look, I stunned Marguls with one blow.

"... Huh?

Stunning on Serveria's face at the sudden event, she looks to the Alliance staff for help.

But the guild officials acted as if nothing had happened and never looked at this one.

No, on the contrary, the guild officials will behave as if they can't see the lightning sword and me.

Whatever, the moment I realized that Marguls and the others were looking at your brother, I talked to the guild staff and I set myself up to be in this situation.

"Huh!"

Serveria sees the reaction of the guild officials and immediately tries to escape.

"Don't wait!

"Hih!"

But grabbed my clothes and I forcefully held the Serveria to the occasion.

And whisper in that ear.

"Your brother is sweet to you guys who were ex-parties. But I'm not."

"Huh!"

Even my little, murderous voice makes Serveria bluish her face.

Does your brother appreciate you letting him in the party, which is pretty sweet against the lightning sword?

Probably even allowing myself to have been abused.

But I'm not.

I know that I tried to feed my dear brother a lightning sword and threw it away just to use it.

And there was no way I could have seen a party like that trying to use your brother again, looked past him, etc.

"If you get into trouble, your brother will have trouble, and I'll miss you this time. But there's no next time. If you try to use or deceive your brother again, you will not forgive me next time."

"Wow, I get it!

To my words, Serveria blues her face and nods again and again.

There were tears in those eyes, and I am certain that they engraved terror on the Serveria.

Satisfied with that attitude, I let go of Serveria and point and tell Marguls.

"Tell this guy too. There's no next time."

And at the end of the day I walked out to my brother...
