"Uh... this is the adventurer story of my acquaintance."

"... Huh?

You didn't think what you wanted to talk about was about acquaintances, and Narsena surprises me in the face.

But I ignored it and pretended not to notice.

I'll figure it out anyway, and I guess I'll just have to get into it eventually.

Still, to keep the embarrassment at bay, I dare to continue talking with a body called an acquaintance.

"He's got a girl who's helped him twice in his life."

"Twice, is it?

"Yeah. Both times, I got it soaked up from the bottom."

When I fought goblins in the meadows.

And that you came into my party when I was banished.

I keep thinking in my head of each of those things that I still remember clearly, and I keep talking.

"The first time, when I really don't know what I'm worth anymore. I was going to die, and that person was helped by a girl. And he gave the girl a chance to live."

Narsena listened to me seriously. [M]

But the look in my eyes made me laugh at why I was telling this story.

Turns out you're not thinking about the girl in this story at all.

So I'll give you some details to make it easier to understand.

"My acquaintance wasn't very good, even as an adventurer. No, I have no talent for excellence, and I only have the strength to be flawed and flawed."

"... Huh?

It was then that Narsena raised her voice in dismay.

Pretending not to notice that, I go on.

"Yet the girl told an acquaintance. When you grow up, I'll come into the party."

"... Huh!

At that moment, Narsena's reddish eyes, finally understanding everything, turn round.

But I'm confused as to why I suddenly told this story in a body called acquaintance.

Well, maybe it's something I can't help but tell her that I still know the girl I was with was Narsena.

"Apparently, the girl was noble, so an acquaintance at the time thought it was impossible for an adventurer. Maybe the girl was a better wife than I thought."

"... be!

Then, in a prank, Narsena blushes so much that she can tell in the dark.

Apparently, it's an embarrassing memory for Narsena, too.

But I was definitely saved by that word.

The strength not to be ashamed of that girl, to the point where just thinking so makes any hardship unrivalled.

So I say thanks. [M]

"But that word became a big, very big support for the acquaintance in his life from then on. I didn't expect that girl to be a real adventurer."

I recall.

Yes, I didn't believe that Narsena was coming.

Because it was so easy to imagine that it was not an environment where you would be allowed to do so.

─ Still, that had nothing to do with it.

"But even so, a girl might come before herself one day, just thinking about it made the acquaintance work hard. Without it, an acquaintance would have died a long time ago. So that's the first salvation. That's when the acquaintance's life changed dramatically."

Narsena listened to me silently. [M]

But it was obvious that Narsena was grinning when her mouth tingled.

I'm gonna laugh at that. [M]

Now I know it's only a reaction because you think I haven't noticed.

… but Narsena will also know that I am aware of the next story.

That's what I think, separating words for a moment. I decide to be ready.

Trying to tell you everything.

"And the next time an acquaintance was saved was a few years later. Until then, acquaintances were desperate to make an effort. Still, they banished me from the party I was in, and I was actually very tired at the time."

From now on, I can tell that my self-assessment was really weird then.

But I couldn't afford to notice that at the time.

Anyway, I was hitting the wall at the time, and there was no one around me who appreciated me.

Even then, when I was banished from the party, my heart was badly broken, even though I took it for granted.

So I remembered clearly that time.

- Brother! Would you let me into the party?

The second time my life changed that moment.

It hasn't been a long time since then.

Nonetheless, I laugh as I think of my environment, which has changed incredibly dramatically at that time.

"You can still go into a party of acquaintances that was said to be flawed then, what a girl showed up then"

"... Huh!

Narsena's complexion changed when she said the words.

I guess Narsena is already starting to notice.

With that understanding, I dare not touch it.

"Since the girl came, the world of acquaintances has changed dramatically. Recognized for his hard work, he affirmed his ability to use it. When I realized that the girl was the one who had kept my promise. The acquaintance got a second salvation."

Words that cannot be escaped anymore.

Hearing that, Narsena's eyes opened wide.

Of course, even Narsena might have known what I was aware of.

But this is the first time I've made it clear that Narsena can't hide the confusion.

Still, after a while, I manage to calm myself down and open my mouth.

"... since when have you noticed"

"What are you talking about? This is about my acquaintance."

"Become!?"

But without answering that, I fall in love with a shield called an acquaintance, knowing I don't mean anything anymore.

Narsena looks at me like that with her eyes that don't try to hide her dissatisfaction, but I turn a blind eye.

... Honestly, it's not like I don't think it's bad.

Still, I have no choice.

I think of the stories I'm going to tell now, and I laugh so bitterly.

They may say it's a heck of a story, but it's too embarrassing to talk about it as yourself.

Feeling the heat gathering on my cheeks, I whine so, internally, as an excuse.

"Anyway, the acquaintance was saved twice by the same girl."

And Narsena looked disgruntled at me forcefully, but she never complained.

As far as the thinning and reddening of that face is concerned, I'm probably looking forward to an outside story.

... I open my mouth with even stronger shame in that attitude.

"So, to an acquaintance, the girl is a very important person. For an acquaintance, the girl gives a reason to live, with a benefactor who gave her purpose"

So, I say it for a moment.

Because that's how I understood what the next word meant.

... but not anymore.

Having made that decision, I look straight at Narsena and never tell her my intentions.

"─ More than anyone else, because that was what made him more important and irreplaceable than the world"

"... Huh"

In response to that word, for a moment Narsena opened her mouth pompously.

"Hey!?"

After a beat, Narsena's face dyed bright red in an instant, understanding the meaning of the word.

"Oh, yeah!? Oh, yeah, yeah!

Narsena, whose ever sinking attitude is like a lie, behaved suspiciously, turns her brightly red-stained face to this side, as she asks what the words mean.

But deliberately from that gaze...... he would be as red as Narsena. Off his face, I open my mouth.

"The acquaintance said that for some reason, the girl is incredibly hard-working and strong, but she has a low self-esteem. Do you need time to defeat the super difficulty Warcraft together, even though it is definitely top notch in strength? Oh, my God, they're saying something obvious."

"... Ugg"

When I say that and look at Narsena, she has a similar experience by chance, Narsena leaks a creaking voice.

As I stared, half-eyed, Narsena looked back at me with a bright red face.

"... I'm so sorry. So, but, like, right now, could you say something more! Tease!"

"Hehe."

"Ugh!

When she accidentally laughs at the way that Narsena looks, Narsena pushes her face against her knees as if she were obstinate.

I tell you gently, stroking Narsena's head like that.

"In the first place, it doesn't matter, Narsena"

You've been totally obstinate, and you haven't responded to my words.

I still don't care. [M]

"It doesn't matter if you can fight, but you can't. Because to me, that girl is important and the only one."

Tingling, Narsena's body reacted, coming from her hand stroking her head.

"I tried to fight like this, I started talking to other people, I wanted to fight Fenrir, all because of Narsena, because of Narsena."

At that moment, Narsena looks up slightly.

Don't miss that gap, cover both of those cheeks with your hands, secure them so that they don't lie down, and tell them as you stare directly at their faces ripe in bright red.

"So don't bother with the boredom of needing it. I can fight to be recognized by someone because Narsena will be there, and the happiness I want is to be with Narsena."

At that moment, I think as I look at Narsena's face, which is becoming even more reddish.

My face now and the face of Narsena.

I don't know which one would be more red.

My heart is annoyed to complain that it is no longer a confession but a proposal.

I managed to get my hands off Narsena's hot cheeks in the guise of calm, and I stood up.

"... ha"

The exhalation out of my mouth was more feverish than I could have imagined.

Now while I'm at it, I really feel like I've said too much inside of myself.

Still, I managed... I barely exposed my feelings, but I didn't say the key thing.

It's almost useless, but I still have to avoid just telling my thoughts in the middle of such a labyrinth rampage.

The only calm self that existed was desperately putting a toothpick on me.

But it's not strange when you can't stand it in this situation anymore.

"Well, that's what I'm talking about. You really don't have to worry about it. After the labyrinth rampage, let's talk again slowly. … I'm going to chill my head a little."

Having so decided, I told him so and tried to get off the spot, but the robe was fixed to something and I couldn't walk away.

"... hmm?

I look down behind me wondering if I got caught up in something.

Soon, Narsena grabbed my robe.

As it was, I couldn't move, wondering how to talk to Narsena... it was then that Narsena looked at me with her moistened eyes.

An upbeat cheek with an expression that can't hide the odor and eyes that just heat up ignoring its lighting.

The moment I was spotted, my heart was pounding and I couldn't say anything.

In the dark, but now Narsena was so colourful that she couldn't keep her eyes open.

I could easily imagine what Narsena was going to say from now on.

But I can't say anything but shut up. [M]

"... sorry, dude. I can't do it anymore. Because I've been desperately patient, too!

Narsena opened her mouth, as she had decided to be ready, after a few rounds.

"Wow, I'm talking about your brother..."

... It was then that this one, and something sounded like it had fallen.

At that moment, when I was able to move as if the bondage had been broken, I turned my eyes slowly towards the sounder.

"Oh, that."

So what got into my eyes was trying to get something that fell to the ground in a hurry, covering my mouth with Mr. Lyla behind it and looking like Armia.

Lila, who solidifies herself in a way that cannot hide her haste and upset, and Armia, who is keeping her face in stark red behind her.

With that in mind, I understand the whole thing.

Perhaps Lila has something to say about the adventurer she's been pushing.

The last time Armia looked at me, she must have guided Mr. Lyla.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!?"

─ ─ Yes, it was at the same time that I judged, and Narsena, who was ashamed or tearful, stood up in a voice.

"Yes, since what time, since when!

Desperately trying to hide his face, Narsena lowered back with her hands up, making a huge noise on the wall behind her and hitting her head shortly after I stopped.

".................. whoa!

And Narsena nods on the spot, screaming silently for a moment.

... We can't say anything about what Narsena looks like and we shut up.

But whether that, on the contrary, inspired Narsena's shame, the Narsena ear, which rose as she leaned, was bright red.

Narsena screams desperately in the unbearable air.

"Oh, yeah! Me, there was something I had to do to get there, so excuse me here!

Was it too painful to say that in tears, Narsena showed her physical ability and quickly left the scene beyond the walls......

Afterwards, all that was left was me and Armia, still nestled in a red face, who had no time to say anything.

And he seemed very uncomfortable, Mr. Lyla.

"... I'm so, so sorry"

That's what I apologize for. Lyla's words included a very sorry sounding voice.

Feeling it, I imagine.

If I hadn't gotten in the way like that, I would have been confessed to Narsena.

The moment I thought about it, I answered naturally.

"No, never mind. On the contrary, it helped."

"... Huh?

I was laughing at Lyla when she looked at me.

Though I think it's bad for Narsena, still, I squeal.

"He wanted me to give him a confession."

"... Huh!

Narsena saved me and gave me all sorts of things, I think because I'm aware of that.

At least you want to know from me when you tell me your thoughts. [M]

Of course, that's not how I could have returned what Narsena gave me.

─ ─ But I want you to let me return what Narsena gave me, about that declaration.

"... thirty days later"

There will be various obstacles to enduring the labyrinth rampage.

Still, I swear.

Absolutely trying to get through all of that.

... I don't know what the hell awaits me in the future.

As if to enjoy our fate, the barrier that covered the labyrinth city looked down on us.
