The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

It's been a week since Nin came to Avancia.

I was just finally starting to calm down, too, with my bulky routine.

Nin has the skill of 'Healing the Virgin'.

I thought she would know what caused Manichia's illness, but she couldn't.

It was the same with Luna's appraisal.

In the first place, there are not many but the world is full of children born and weak like Manichia.

It is recognized by society as something like… a birth disorder.

This town is a little bulky right now. It's hard to resume a labyrinth attack right now, but when you calm down, we need to find a new party and do a labyrinth attack.

Breakfast time.

Luna's cooking is lined up on the table. I sat in my seat with my yawn hidden by my hand.

"Morning, Manicia"

"Good Morning"

"... it's a beautiful day"

"Right."

I say one greeting to Manichia, who was across the street.

After Nin and Luna came, I bought a big desk round the corner.

The four of us are now able to eat at the same time, but the physical distance from Manichia is far away and we have little chance to talk.

I've been closer before...... I miss you so much just for this distance.

Originally, I'm not a good talker. Rather, I don't like it.

I don't like people, I just had to try not to make my relationship with Manichia any worse.

I just have to shake my tail desperately.

With Manichea's staring gaze, I've been remembering how comfortable I am lately.

This may be a feeling you shouldn't have.

"Luna, is Nin the usual?"

"Yes, I teach magic to my students in my study hall"

"Okay."

You're serious in the morning.

Because of her absence, the table was extra quiet.

"Master Manichia, don't you want to talk to the master?"

Luna cut it out like that.

Just a little bit today she had strength in her eyes.

I'm talking to you.

"... Dear Manicia. I believe that Master Manichea…"

"Mr. Luna. Thank you for doing the laundry this morning. In the morning, you also brought a wet towel and wiped your body. Can I ask you again tomorrow?"

"... Yes"

On purpose, Manichia ran out of words and spoke there.

While I envy the act of wiping Manichia's body, I was glad that Luna tried to do something about it.

Nearly a month has passed since she came home.

No wonder this house feels uncomfortable for Luna.

She tried to keep us company a few times before.

But all of that was a failure.

... our relationship is not that simple.

I just got my hands on a meal, and Luna's been looking at this one.

Earlier, it was similar to the expression directed at Manichia.

Now will you say something to me?

"What's up?"

"When we made the breakfast, we made sure there were few ingredients left in the magic cold warehouse. It's time to buy it."

It was something different from what I expected.

After it solidifies for a moment, I nod like, "Oh, oh."

"Well, let's go shopping today."

"I understand. Can you help me, Master?"

If you were to buy in at once, Luna alone would be tough.

"Right. Okay."

"Yes, please"

Luna smiles before eating.

Manichia eats the pieces of bread one at a time.

It goes perfectly with Luna's stew for me.

But the look on Manichia's face remains the same.

... Okay, here's your chance to talk.

It is also for Luna. And your brother wants to talk to you.

"Isn't it delicious?"

"It's delicious. It's delicious, Mr. Luna."

"Yes, thank you. I tried to make it like Manicheans taught me before."

"Really... Luna is remembered for a lot of things and it's amazing. It took me a long time to cook."

"I had basic skills. Master Manicia should have remembered that from scratch. Isn't that the difference?"

"Um, I hope so. I'm basically not good at remembering."

Yeah, Manichia naturally turned down a conversation with me and talked to Luna.

This is the moment when my low communication skills are exposed.

It's hard for me to break into other people's conversations.

When that conversation was over, the time for silence flowed again, and the breakfast was over.

But I was satisfied.

I spoke to Manichia twice today.

I haven't had a lot to talk about in a long time. Good. Good.

Luna takes the seats and takes the empty dishes to the kitchen.

She uses water magic and washes dishes.

"Mr. Luna, I'll help you, too."

"No. Master Manicia should rest in your room"

"You don't have to treat me like a sick person anymore. Because this is a mess."

"Fine, just rest. Haven't you been feeling very well this morning?"

"... I get it."

Luna pushed Manichia back into the room trying to help.

How's it going? Looks fine now, but I'm a little worried.

It just seemed a little nostalgic that Manichia was showing Luna a slightly peeled face.

He used to give me that look, too.

Manichia was weak, though. You always have the same hands, so I win in a row.

At that time, I have a slight tear, swelling my cheeks and staring at this one.

That looks really cute, and then a few times later, I'll deliberately lose.

In doing so, Manichia makes her face shine and laugh all the time. That's just an angel, no, a goddess.

To get her back with such a smile, I became an adventurer.

Not if you're looking back at your past memories.

Line up next to Luna to help with dishwashing.

"Don't you think the master is close to Master Manichia?"

"... we're not close, are we? At least, more than average siblings."

And I think.

I don't know if that helps, but the twins from the previous party are so close.

Luna looks like she thinks, and cleans up the dishes.

When that's done, shop as promised.

Just take the money and leave the house.

The wind blew and Luna loosened her cheeks as she held her hair back.

It's just the right day for a walk.

Spring is the season now. This continent is a rare region with well divided seasons.

It's easy for me to spend and I like it.

"Has Luna walked all the way in town yet?"

"Once, you asked Master Manicia to guide you."

"... Was it"

Were you two out?

I was just helping out with the vigilante's work, so I didn't know what was going on at home.

If I worked every day, I'd be forced to give you a 'rest' and a holiday, actually, today.

Manicia and Luna seem to be doing well, good.

As I stretched out and showered the light all over my eyes, Nin returned.

She says she teaches magic in her study hall, but to observe from a smile, she seems to be having fun doing it.

"What, you guys. Shop Friendly?"

"You know exactly what I mean."

I'm just still out there. Well, without weapons and shields, you know what I mean?

"Huh?... uh, sort of. So, what time are you due back?"

"Do you know what time it is? I can't believe I'm shopping."

I'm due home at 12: 00.

Homncrus is decent around there, and if she says so, you can't go wrong.

"... well, yeah. You can't just shop and eat outside."

If you keep exposed to the sun, fresh vegetables are no good.

I don't like to get long hours of sunshine either.

"Oh well. I get it. Bye."

"Oh, wait a minute. Nin, how's the school building? I was thinking of going to the sword audition this afternoon."

"You're off all day, aren't you? Rest once in a while. I don't want to do your audition."

"... Oh, really?"

Well, that might have been a tough part...

Was I hated?

"It's half a joke. I didn't say that much, but it's tough. He said he was going to study."

……

Think of everyone, but it's hard to teach.

I'll see you later.

"Oh, okay"

I think as I watch Nin go into the house.

Maybe we should remodel that house, too.

Nin will be home one of these days, but it's narrow when it's the three of us in the end.

I still have the money.

If Luna's going to be around in the future, you might want to seriously consider it.

I get a lot of voice when I'm walking around town.

I also got a lot of service for getting rid of the demons and for helping our kids before this, which made it so painful to hold them with both hands.

I was able to buy the ingredients pretty quickly. I'm so sorry. I got it.

... I shouldn't have come.

With that in mind, I walk away.

When it ended earlier than planned, Luna pulled the hem of her clothes.

"I'd like to take a look at the town, would you mind?"

It's pretty heavy......

Nonetheless, it's Luna's favor.

There's always a thank you for taking care of Manichia.

Not bad if you think of it as a workout.

"Right, right. Shall we walk a little?"

Walk away, without any particular purpose.

It's a sloppy, holiday-looking way to kill time. Not bad.

"There aren't many people in this town, are there?"

"Right. They say this is a country.... sooner or later, the town itself may be gone"

"Really?"

Luna rounding her eyes like a surprise. My eyes were laying down a little sad.

"Young kids rarely move to this town. It's a town with nothing. Without a playground, there's no labyrinth nearby. But I'm calm."

So I like this town.

I often live in the city after a labyrinth attack.

As far as I'm concerned, the country is calmer.

"... right"

"What about you?"

"Me too... I like it,"

That's what Luna said, and she's turned to me.

That's a little spooky.

"Master. I want to ask the Master something"

"What's going on?"

It's a serious look.

I don't know what the hell, I can't imagine.

"Master and Master Manicia. How do you think we got along so badly?"

... I can't answer that question.

I don't want to answer.

"I don't know."

When I tended to lean down, she exhaled small.

I wonder what that look is.

Rather than grieving...... he looked angry.

"... Really?"

"Oh... well, maybe a little bit back in the day"

Luna won't know much about us.

"Old story, is it?"

"Did Manichia tell you that?"

Luna did her hand to her jaw as she thought, then nodded small.

"A little, I heard. The two of you, in the small part of the world... said that it had been abandoned."

I smiled back at her that seemed hard to answer.
