The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

Lillifer's expression solidifies in Mr. Envi's words.

"What do you mean, fight with brothers?"

"It stays that way. To put it plainly, it was almost every day something like a fight called a power comparison."

"... how was Timeo?"

"Boy... he was sometimes the slowest born of his brothers, and he was a lot different from his brothers. So… always, the…"

Mr. Envi was clouding his words, but we had roughly an idea of what Timeo was being treated like.

"... terrible. Even though it's family."

"Before I was a family, I was noble."

"... I'm not sure."

If you were born as a civilian, you'd have little involvement first.

There's a power struggle and all kinds of troublesome stuff.

"Boy, I see you've met some sweet people."

Lillifer is honestly lit up by Envi, who seems happy.

"... did Timeo get kicked out of the house?"

"Yes, your boy, torn by a successor feud, has enrolled in the Knights School"

Knights School? Then how did you become an adventurer?

With that in mind, Lillifer tilted her neck.

"How did you get into school?"

"Normally, a son who can no longer inherit a house is often a knight."

When I tell him, Lillifer snorts so much.

"So you don't really have anyone who can be a civilian and a knight. You mean noble and full of frames."

... Well, maybe that's the part.

"Boy, ever since I enrolled in Knights School... I've been looking forward to it. I was also a dedicated butler to your boy, and I was so glad that he laughed more heartily."

"... I've never laughed, I've never been there"

Pompous and drinkin shrugged.

... It would be quite stressful not to be able to behave like yourself in your own home.

"It's just that that life is over soon. My brothers, who didn't care that your boy was enjoying it, used the power of the house and put pressure on him. Because of that... your friends are gone."

... all those attending school will in the future become the lowest ranks of the nobility called knights.

If getting involved with Timeo is going to cause more trouble, it's not strange to think about getting rid of it.

"… so what happened to Timeo?"

To Lillifer's words, Mr. Envi tied his mouth tight.

It turns out that Mr. Envi's expression is compelling and that he often has anger for Timeo's family.

"My boy has changed. I stopped engaging in anything with others, and my mouth went bad. It was as if someone else was deliberately trying to hate me"

That's the look of Timeo I'm used to seeing.

I've been looking at this one. I nodded small at Lillifer and Drinkin.

Mr. Envi has been bowing his head.

"I'm sorry. Your boy seems to be bothering you. I'll do anything I can. Forgive him!"

I don't want an apology from him.

"Give me your face, Mr. Envi. Now it's enough to hear what he's holding."

Mr. Envi was still bowing his head sorry.

When I saw Lillifer and Drinkin, they shook their heads too.

"... as long as you say so. I'm so sorry I was late at night. I'll be staying in this town for a while now, so call me if you need anything."

Mr. Envi folded his hips in a pissy manner before leaving.

"You've got a lot going on."

Lillifer didn't look too concerned.

Drinkin 'stiffened his fist and then opened his mouth.

"I had something similar."

"Drinkin 'too?"

"... oh. I've been awesome, weak and timid for a long time. I used to get bullied in the village. At that time. I've had a bad feeling, I've run out of tips to bump into, and I've bumped it into my family... I can't help myself. Still want to do something... maybe Timeo was trying to protect himself too."

Maybe.

When I was spending time in the slums, I thought everything around me was the enemy.

I didn't mean to get deeply involved with others. The others only used it.

I have to tell Timeo.

I turn to Lillifer and Drinkin, and then I bow my head.

The two raised their voices like they were surprised.

"What is it, Master?"

"Can you work with him for a while longer? I'll talk to Timeo properly. Then why don't you join him again as one of us?"

"I'm not. Originally, it was Lillifer who had a lot to say."

"Nano! Ha, I may not have had a lot of drinkin 'and Timeo making up their minds... but let me take care of you!"

Lillifer pounding her chest and laughing.

Thanking them for that, I'll see the cranhouse.

The room where Timeo is is is dark. I don't use demon stone lights...... have I fallen asleep yet?

"Timeo and I are going to talk"

"Okay. Drinkin ', let's have an ops meeting too!"

"... right"

Make sure you two start talking to each other there, and then I'm going into the cranhouse.

"Timeo, do you have a minute?"

Knock on his room and then speak up.

Please, a little cold came back.

Open the door. It was no different from what I saw from the outside, the room was dark. He was nodding over the futon, and I've been staring at this one.

"You heard the story, right?"

"... oh. Sorry about that."

"... it doesn't matter"

After that, he exhaled.

I was laughing to mock myself and it was a little unusual.

"I came here because I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry. I'm leaving the clan tomorrow. I've caused a lot of trouble."

"If you want to leave the clan, that's all right. It's not really in there yet."

Tell him that, and then I'll shake my head.

"But that's it?"

……

"Are you leaving here and going into another clan, or are you going to do it alone as an adventurer? What do you want to do?"

……

He should have avoided engaging with people.

But still, I made the choice to join the clan.

"Didn't you want to join the clan and make friends?"

"... right"

Timeo shrugged pompously. But then he shook his head.

"But I'm scared. Another day, my friends might be gone from around me. Being betrayed by the people you believed in is already a dustpan. If you don't get involved with anybody from the beginning, there's nothing."

"I won't be gone. As your companion, I can stay with you forever."

Timeo opened his eyes and then nodded his face.

Finally, you conveyed your true intentions.

Grab that head as you approach him.

"If we're going to do this here, we'll work together. Apologize to everyone and then we'll start again. I apologize with you. I've pushed a lot on you."

"Hello. What would you do if our stupid brothers came to this clan?"

"I'm sorry, we're adventurers. You're free to live."

If it doesn't matter, when he looks at it, Timeo wipes his eyes clean.

And, at that time, the door banged open.

It was Lillifer who was there. Arm and face.

"Timeo. I heard all about it. You're weak."

"... Shut up"

"It's payback for what I've been told. Drinkin 'too, come on!"

"... weak man, no"

The drinkin seemed unfamiliar with that, dyed his cheeks slightly and ran out of words.

I laugh when I dull at that look, then Lillifer puts her arms together and laughs good at it.

"From now on, we won't feel comfortable talking to each other. That's how much easier we are."

Lillifer nodding Yeah, yeah, how convinced I am of my words.

Timeo smiled bitterly once when he heard that.

Then, stand up and face the two of you.

"I'm sorry. Until now, I've caused trouble. From now on, I'll be careful."

Timeo turned bright red to his ears and lowered his head.

"Nothing, it's fine. In fact, I was weak, too. So keep on pointing out what you care about, bang!"

"Me too... thanks to you, I know what I'm missing."

Lillifer and Drinkin smile.

Timeo returned a clumsy grin when he saw those two.
