The strongest swordsman was disappointed with the world's too low level and reincarnated into another world.

Me and Celia were in the captain's office with Faraes.

Sona was here too, so they are all assembled.

"Faraes, so, I'm talking about Mr. Cannon..."

So, I'll get to the bottom of this.

Then, Sona tilts her neck.

"Mr. Cannon, the deputy captain of the Fifth Squad?

"Oh, yeah. There's a lot going on, I'm looking into it."

"Right, well, fine. If you don't want to talk about it when I hear it, why don't you take a seat off?

"It's something I don't really want to spread the word about, so why don't you just shut up?

"Absolutely. Your mouth is stronger."

You told me everything, but I decided to tell Sona too.

It may not be a good idea to spread the word about Mr. Cannon much, but it's not sneaky to kick Sona out either.

I apologize to Mr Cannon, but I shall let him speak. I just have to apologize.

"In conclusion, I had no idea why Mr. Cannon had come to avoid Faraes... sorry"

"... well. Well, that won't help either."

"I just got a lot of information. From that it is possible to make some assumptions. First, actually, Mr. Cannon is sick."

"Sick?"

To my words, Faraes turns his eyes round.

After all, it seemed like something that Faraes hadn't even told me.

Well, he was the only thing Captain Zagil told me, so I guess that's natural too.

"Oh, I don't know what kind of illness it is, but it sounds like it won't be able to get out on the front line"

"Oh, you did... I had no idea..."

"So it seems that Mr. Cannon is now in charge of all the paperwork."

"I see... then is that why you started avoiding me?

So Faraes asked me that.

Sure, if I only heard about the illness, I wouldn't be forced to think so either.

However, I'm sure that's one end of the reason, but that shouldn't be all.

"But I don't even know if that's true. Even though it's such a disease, the paperwork seems to be more than normal..."

"I see, but maybe it's the kind of disease that keeps your body from moving, so isn't that weird there?

"Well, I can think of that too..."

That's what Faraes said when I told him what was going on.

Sure, if you're sick enough to keep your body from moving, you might be convinced that it's just paperwork. I don't know, but there will still be a lot of harmony in Mr. Cannon's actions.

"But Mr. Cannon is hiding that he's sick. This information was only known to Captain Zagil. How could that be?

"Is that... because I didn't want them to know?

"Right. But I wonder what it means to keep that disease hidden."

"Sure, you are..."

Mr. Cannon told Captain Zagil that he was ill and asked him not to tell anyone else about it.

Why, I don't know, you hid that you were sick. But I can deduce some reason to avoid Faraes from it.

"I see, when you think about it, you're uncomfortable with Mr. Cannon's behavior..."

"Oh, I guess so. Besides, I still need to talk..."

So, I get lost for a moment.

I wondered if I could talk about the Dead Butterfly "Shubi Le".

But it wouldn't be the same to say and hide it so far. I thought so, and I decided to tell you everything.

"I met Mr. Cannon in the library."

"The library?

"Oh, there, Mr. Cannon was watching the Dead and Sick Butterfly in the Insect Atlas,"

"Dead butterfly" Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh "...!

To my words, Faraes turns his eyes round.

Apparently, Faraes knows about Dead and Sick Butterfly "Shubi Yo".

"Really... that doesn't make a very good impression..."

"Oh, anyway, it seems certain something happened to Mr. Cannon..."

"... right"

Now we have all the information we have.

After everything I've told you, Faraes' face feels a little depressed.

There seems to be a lot about Mr. Cannon, so that won't help either.

There's just one thing I know.

"Faraes, Mr. Cannon didn't start avoiding you because he hated you or because of his position, or because he said so. I'm sure there are other circumstances. Then you can fix it."

"Slade......"

"Let's do something about Mr. Cannon's situation. That's how we get back to the two of us."

"Oh, thanks......"

Faraes laughed at my words.

I'm sure I'll get Faraes and Mr. Cannon back to normal.

I was so determined.

◇ ◇ ◇

We were back home after the Knights base.

I made up my mind, but the consultation led me to start moving tomorrow.

Now, I usually come home and relax.

Celia and I were on our way home from work, so we were so tired that we wanted to take a break.

Come to think of it later, I defeated the demon on assignment in the morning, and then I met Mr. Cannon, and from there, I looked into Mr. Cannon, and it was quite a hard schedule for the day.

While I was doing that, I didn't feel tired or anything, but when I'm done, I get really tired.

"Slade? If you want to sleep, you can sleep."

"Oh......"

"And Celia."

"Ah, yes..."

And I have Faraes, Celia has Sona, each with a knee pillow.

Faraes told me and Celia that she was tired, and that Sona was on it.

By the way, Cretta is cooking me dinner.

Various things happened, but Faraes' soft knees are awesome. I'm going to fall asleep like this.

However, I wanted to avoid sleeping because it was almost dinner. That's why you have a strong will.

"Hehe, Slade......"

So, for some reason, Faraes stroked my head and started.

I was suddenly surprised, but this is good inside. It just accelerates my drowsiness.

I hear Faraes is really trying to get me to sleep.

"Su"

"Celia? Oh? Looks like you slept..."

Celia next door seems to have already gone to the world of her dreams.

Most of all, Celia would have had difficulty fighting drowsiness because she was also tired.

Me too, I think I'm about to lose.

By the way, is Sona's knee pretty comfortable, too?

No, not if you care about that.

……

"Slade......"

Faraes squeals my name in the partition. Its slow and gentle voice color is very comfortable.

And that brings relief to my mind.

In addition, that reassurance further accelerates my drowsiness.

Really, I'm going to sleep like this.

……

"Slade......?

So I'll see how Faraes is doing.

I'm in a bad position, I don't really see my face, but I don't seem that depressed right now.

Today, there was a lot going on about Mr. Cannon, so I'm a little worried.

If it feels like this, maybe it's okay, but I want to stay on your side as long as possible today.

That should calm Faraes' mind for a little while.

"No, just for a little while, get him to sleep... this knee seems too comfortable..."

"... well, then, you should get some sleep. Good night, Slade."

"Oh, good night......"

That's what Faraes told me, and I meditated my eyes.

Let's just let him sleep for a little while.

This is how I traveled to the world of dreams.
