To Deprive a Deprived Person

"Colette, did you just hear that? He said he was a brave man."

Rebecca, who was watching Yu's exchange from the receptionist, talks to Colette on the side.

"Mr. Rebecca, I'm at work."

"Say something tough. Because you're a maiden, you prefer a good man like a prince, don't you?

"Well, I, um... I don't have to be like a prince."

Colette points her gaze at the Yu and the others as they poke each other with their index fingers.

"I want about two or three kids. So, so what? It's a whole house, and it doesn't have to be big. I work for the Adventurer Guild too, so while the two of us have a normal life in a small family, we take our kids out or, occasionally, fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-

A reddish collet covers his face with both hands. "It's this way to be ashamed of me," Rebecca shrugged as she watched.

"In the first place, you have enough money to not have to work for the reward of the amount Yu deposits in the Adventurer's Guild, right?

"Ugh."

Colette, who was immersed in happy delusions, has a distressed look on her face as soon as possible. Because I was trying not to think about the rewards paid by the Adventurer Alliance as much as possible. I keep it in the Adventurer's Guild for safety, to keep it at home for too much money.

"Colette?"

And it came to pass that Rebecca turned her eyes to Yu, who had hardened like a stone statue, to the air of slaughter.

"So, we're gonna kill each other here? Or change the place?

"Do it...?

Roy, who was shocked by Yu's poor mouth, repeated to confirm Yu's words when he regained his mind.

"Are you mistaken?"

"Mistake? Then what are you doing here?"

Roy said he looked at Yu with surprise.

"Yu Sato, won't you be a brave man?

"Your husband..."

"... brave man?

In the noisy Adventurer Guild calmed down for a moment, and...

"Wahaha!

"Buha!! Did you hear that?

"I heard. I heard. Yu is the brave one? You can't do that."

"Kuck. Speaking of brave men, it would be the right thing to do. Isn't that the opposite of Yu?"

Simultaneously wrapped in a whirlpool of laughter. The adventurers who were eavesdropping on Yu and Roy's conversation laughed uncomfortably. Though not laughing, Adventurer Guild officials had a surprising look on Lena and Marifa. But there were only two unresponsive people in this. One is Yu, and Nina. Where did the usual rich expression go, Nina stared at Roy with a face like a noble face, as if any emotions had fallen off her face.

"Why are you laughing?"

Roy is confused by the reactions around him.

"Because you tell me to turn to me and be brave."

"Oh well... you haha"

In that language, Roy decides that Yu understands the circumstances in which he is placed. Then I knew that I would take an aggressive attitude towards myself, the brave one.

And Yu's impression changes in Roy. I can't say that mouth or attitude is a very favorable thing, but this boy lives without rotting in his own circumstances.

"No, there's nothing wrong with that. You should be a brave man."

"Are you okay with your head?

Despite all this refusal, Yu exposes his discomfort to Roy, who is turning a favorable eye.

"I'm completely sane.

I hear you've reached A-rank in just a few years. A-rank adventurers are not easy enough to be just qualitative. It is not hard to imagine that you have made an irresistible effort. We should use that power not as an adventurer, but for the powerless "

"Can you be a brave man and work for people?

"No nobility to the race. I'm a human race, but I don't discriminate against races. All the weak do the brave with the hope that they will be happy at all"

"I don't care what I use my powers to do."

"We should do the duty of those who have power. The power given by heaven is also a great evil if it is misused. It should be used correctly for powerless people, for justice"

The more he tries to contain his emotions, the more he talks, the more anger Yu will gush from the depths of his heart.

"Sacrificing yourself for someone else in red is what fools do. Who can be a brave man? A brave man is nothing short of shit."

Those around them accidentally swallow their breath in the words of Yu, who is too spicy.

"Yu today is always more radical. That's also the fascinating part. Well, you can't help it if they're brave."

Fifi back from the break stands between Colette and Rebecca.

"What do you mean, Mr. Feefi?

"Hmm?"

"I can't help it."

Feefi gives a troubled look to Colette's question and starts to think a little bit, "Ma, can I tell you something," he says in a light tone.

"Colette, take a look at the faces of the people who are watching those yu-chans faraway. Some of them look at brave men with feverish eyes, don't they?

When Colette looked inside the Adventurer's Guild, some of the adventurers, as Fifi put it, eagerly sent their gaze. It is Roy who is at the end of that gaze.

"At first, the guys who were making fun of the brave guys are starting to get carried away in just a few moments. Don't you think that's scary? Brave men attract people, no matter how unconscious they are. How many adventurers have lost their lives so far because of it. From the Adventurer Alliance, it's not a hoard. So as far as I'm concerned, I want the brave Roy Buom to get out of Cummer as soon as possible. But Yu is just fine, right? You'll be fine if it looks like that."

Feefi speaks happily as he does the counter work.

"If Mr. Yu was attracted to the brave, what was Mr. Fifi going to do?

I'm curious, Colette asks Fifi.

"You want to know?

Feefi asks Colette back with a face that she can't imagine from her usual lazy appearance.

"Yes, no...... forget it"

"Colette, remember. There's no such thing as brave men."

Rebecca, who had listened in silence, glanced at the Yu.

"Undo it."

Roy's words contained obvious anger.

"Revoke what?"

"Given your predicament, I'm still going to understand that you have no choice but to dislike me. But I can't forgive you for saying things that unfairly discredit the brave."

"What if I can't forgive you?

Roy takes the kill without pulling a step against Yu, who releases an intense kill. The adventurers watching at a distance took themselves away from danger.

"The brave men of history, who endured the heavy pressures of bravery and kept their faith to the end, fought for their lives without regard for a powerless people. Stop insulting me without knowing anything."

"Ethan, twenty-three," the brave man of Shuangxun. "Mountain Tsunami Brave," Fergus, twenty-nine. "Windy Heaven," Ernie, eighteen. "Flower Burial Sword," Zoe, sixteen. "Artillery Fist," Garrett, thirty-one. "Sacred Axe Brave" Gaston - "

One after the other Yu describes the name of the brave man and his age at his death.

"You think I don't know anything? I know more about brave men than you do. He's always been crushed by the country and died prematurely. A brave man is no different than a war slave. No, war slaves are still decent for inevitable reasons. You're a crazy big idiot to let me tell you who they call a brave man who likes himself and becomes a war slave."

"No. It is true that brave men do often die prematurely from their harsh lives. But it hasn't been used by the country. We all live on our beliefs."

"You sound like you're telling yourself,"

"Become"

Roy couldn't say it back right away.

"Anyway, I'd like to discuss it again somewhere else, not in this kind of place"

"Don't be rude. This is where adventurers come together who are so proud of what they do."

"As much as I didn't say in the sense of insulting the adventurers, you would know."

"I don't know. Maybe he's trying to trick me into being honest."

"I am such a despicable imitator."

"Then tell me how many adventurers died of deceit in the Third Holy Demon War, believing your words. A lot of adventurers have listened to your words and challenged the army of the Demon King with adventure."

Unexpectedly Roy clenches his fist.

"I'm not fooling you. They all fought for peace in the world. There is a world today because of that honorable sacrifice. Satoh, I want you to believe me."

"For the sake of peace in the world... you're lying"

"I..."

At that time, lightning and thunderous roars echo within the Adventurer's Guild from the sword on Roy's hips. An Adventurer Alliance official was loud enough to hold his ear in a hurry. Roy gently attaches his hand to the sword so as to keep his anger under control.

"Aside from Pandora's Brave, and Tragic Brave, they call you Thunder Brave."

"Is that it?

"Two names given from the defeat of the Thunderdragon in the Tonaire Mountains are" The Brave Man of Thunder Rings ". It was a famous dragon, wasn't it? Why did you kill him? A dragon with a name. Didn't I tell you the words?

"It is.................. In order to protect the people from the invasion of the Demon King, we really needed to cross the Tonaire Mountains. But she (...)..."

Roy says.

"She? Thunder Dragon was a female and protected even an egg? Or was the young dragon hatching?

Totally Roy gets silent. The look also seemed distorted somewhere in pain.

"If you can't tell me, I'll tell you. You killed Luo Gorenica, the Thunder Dragon who was protecting his eggs, to cross the Tonaire Mountains."

"Ki, you know..."

"Oh, I knew. I told you I know more about brave men than you do. And you can kill thunderdragons that were protecting eggs a lot. I don't know what to do with a thunderdragon egg without my parents."

"The eggs… are kept in a country you can trust"

"Do you keep your parents dead and keep your eggs? There was also a great brave man. You made that sword out of Thunder Dragon Ruo Golenica material, didn't you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? The roar of that sword sounds like resentment to me. Yeah, I forgot who it was earlier, but there was this guy who was out of the beauty of being without a nobleman in his race."

Without saying anything back, Roy silently accepts Yu's curse.

"I wonder what you did to Thunder Dragon. It's not discrimination, it's distinction? Believe me. You lying bastard."

Just shut up, Roy squeezed his fist hard.

"Get out of my sight."

"Still want to talk to you, Yu Satou"

"Now you want to talk about killing me, not Thunder Dragon?

"You are."

"What's the approximate eye? Are you finally willing to kill me? Don't get on with it as much as you defeated the demon king of the disputed thing (...)"

Power fell out of Roy's fist as he was squeezing, his eyes opened and he stared at Yu.

"Again (...)... Do You Know"

If this only makes the relationship worse, Roy takes one envelope out of the item pouch.

"I want you to check the contents later"

"I don't want it"

Roy whispers in Yu's ear not trying to receive the envelope.

"Waiting"

Roy lets Yu hold the envelope and leaves the Adventurer Guild as it is.

"What the hell. That's it."

"I thought we were going to do this."

"Uh, but pretty funny. - Whoa."

"Hey, what is it? Hey, this is first!?

Running adventurers sit out of their hips on the spot. The middle-aged adventurers jump back into the shadows of desks and columns, and some advanced adventurers gaze at Yu with surprised faces.

It's not like Yu let me kill you. It's just that I was driven by the urge to stay away from this place as soon as possible.

"Yu?"

Even if Nina speaks up, Yu doesn't react. From what I saw, I was crushing the envelope Roy gave me.

"Yuba."

".................. ah? What the hell."

Again, in the voice of Nina who called, Yu finally replies.

"Is it not time to go to the labyrinth?

"I'm not going."

"Eh, you said you were going to" The Labyrinth of the Demon Garden "to see how the Agaphons were doing."

"Abort."

Bu bu, say Nina approximate, Yu thinks something. What I could tell from that look was that I wasn't angry.

"Master, I will dispose of it with me"

With that said, Marifa offers her hands to Yu, who holds the envelope.

"No, fine. More than that, we're breaking up today."

Yu sticks the envelope into the item porch and heads straight to the exit of the Adventurer Guild.

"Please wait. I'll give it to you too."

Marifa hastily tries to chase the rest.

"You don't have to come"

There is no way Marifa can defy Yu's orders, and Marifa stands up on the spot.

"Mr. Nina."

"Ah, I remembered something important."

Without asking for Marifa's favor, Nina leaves the Adventurer's Guild in a light foothold.

"Lena. It's not too late now. Go after your husband!

"... there are times when Yu wants to be alone"

"Knock..."

Only when this happens, Marifa bites her lips off wondering why there are no Namari and Momo that always follow her.

That's when Marifa did hear. Roy's in Yu's ear.

Don't you want to go back to where (...)

- I whispered.

"Welcome! Come on - there's fresh Big Bo meat in there today!"

"Take a look at this magic prop. Retrieved from the Eastern Republic of Set-"

"Brother, how about some juice made from app fruit? Eighty Madokas a cup now."

Yu was still walking down the boulevard of Kammer, a city many people go to today. I'm not aiming for somewhere, I'm not aiming for anything. You're walking in the middle of a mess to sum up your emotions and thoughts.

"Ugh."

A man wrapped around one robe speaks to Yu. The unfamiliar man was Yu who tried to ignore him.

"Grantor's old man."

At the entrance to "The Labyrinth of Gorgo," I recall being the man who was magically making change granting adventurers to their opponents.

"Sorry, I'm busy right now"

It was Yu trying to get past the side of a man.

"Grantor's old man (...)? You still call me that, apparently Stella's eye hasn't broken yet."

- Yu's leg stops perfectly. Keep the man - staring at Answer Fod.

"Oh, don't be afraid."

"It's a really frustrating day."

"Don't say that. Somewhere quiet, let's talk over dinner."

Ansugar grinned at Ni, under the gaze of a hostile Yu.

"You were a much scarier boy than I imagined."

Roy shrugs as he touches the steel gauntlet with his right hand.

Roy, who left the Adventurer Guild, remained outside the north gate of the city Kamer. Roy's destination on the road leading from the North Gate is the Buerko Basin in the Kingdom of Zimbabwe as originally planned.

After a while, the road is branching out along the way. Most pedestrians and travellers choose the right path that leads to the King's Road, but Roy chooses the left path that leads to the King's Road rather than the one that leads to the less crowded. The figure of people diminishes in a pompous way, and eventually only Roy will be walking down the road.

Furoy stops at the smell he could smell. Smells like blood. There was a mixture of rotten and dirty odors. A big man stood there over two meters as he went off the road and towards the direction of the woods where he smelled blood. At least ten or more hands and feet were scattered around the big man.

- Mr. Joseph.

"Oops, you finally made it."

"What does this mean?

"Hi, these guys are Jardalk's intelligence agency, Broccoli."

It's Brosom.

"Ah? Was that the name? I can't remember anything I'm not interested in."

Roy unwittingly squeezes the steel gauntlet at Joseph as he approaches him scratching his head.

"What's up? You don't have to be so vigilant, but we were partying together for a while."

I don't care what you think, it's Joseph. But Roy didn't think the person in front of him was really Joseph Jolm he knew. So many different impressions. I've never seen Joseph smile at himself like this before when he was partying. On the contrary, I don't know how many times Joseph has half-killed me, so much so that neither finger is enough.

"Why did you kill him?

"Nothing at all. I am now mussed and taken care of at the nobleman's, but if there are Jardalk agents wandering around in that realm, then we'll find out, won't we? Well, as you can see, there's no way these guys are gonna talk honestly, so I just disposed of them."

"I really needed to kill you."

To Roy's reprehensible inquiry, Joseph seems less interested in whispering his ears with his pinky fingers. If it's the usual Roy, I'll tell you in even stronger terms from here, but the words don't last.

"Are you still saying such sweet little things? The only thing that's changed since you ate your age is your appearance? I wanted to ask you something more than that. These guys apparently had separate purposes. I'm staring at you for that purpose. What do you think?

"You have no idea."

I meant to answer naturally, but Roy gets anxious that his heart is not beating like Joseph.

"Ho. So, what brings you all the way to Cummer?

It was Joseph speaking casually, but the pressure increases as if it were inversely proportional. That is so much so that Roy leaves behind unexpectedly.

"Yu Satou -"

The moment that name comes up, Joseph turns his right arm around Roy's neck. Only then will Roy be unable to move.

"Oh, tell me more."

"For more information or anything, I just stopped by Cummer when I heard you had competent people. As Joseph knows, I'm on a wandering journey."

"So?"

"I asked him to be a brave man."

Only slightly, Roy felt the power fall out of Joseph's arm, which he turned around his neck.

"Ho, make Yu a brave man"

"Looks like Joseph has some knowledge of Satou, too."

"Whoa. I'm the cute guy. Is this the guy who's not being honest? I can't leave you alone."

Gahahaha laughing, Joseph slaps his chest with his right arm, which he turned around Roy's neck.

"Mr. Joseph was right, he was an untrue boy. He didn't seem interested in the brave either, and he said no."

"Wahaha! Right? Yu is not a brave man. Besides, he's creating a country, and he's doing kings. You're too busy to be brave."

"Created a country?

"What the hell didn't you know? Dwarves to beasts and corrupt tribes...... hey. Yes, I gathered demons and demons to create a country called Nameless. I didn't even know that until I asked Muss. What do you think, don't you think you could say something to me?

"Demonic to the Fallen, it is also abused by dwarves and dwarves"

"Sounds like something. Did you collect or pick up those people? You don't have to bother..."

Joseph's words go through Roy's ears. More than that, Roy is strongly shaken by the fact that the boy who was making such a fool of the brave, sacrificing for the sake of others, was creating a country for the weak. It was enough to make my touching less eye-catching hot.

"After all, I didn't make a mistake inviting Yu Sato to be a brave man."

He's not a brave man.

"What about that? People's minds change. Well, I'm in a hurry."

If we get rid of Joseph's arm, Roy tries to leave early.

"Wait."

Joseph speaks on that back.

"What is it"

Roy replies without even looking back.

"Yu didn't come to the kingdom of Oudon for a purpose from the beginning, did he?

"Yeah, what's that?

"You know what happened to the people who lied to me, don't you?

"I know you better than anyone."

Roy unconsciously squeezes the steel gauntlet hard with his right hand. The pressure released from Joseph was exploding.

The thing Roy is feeling from Joseph, it was something that should not have gone out of sight if it was meant to be, something that the brave had to face. i.e. 'fear'.

"Turn around and answer."

Slowly Roy looks back. Pay close attention, and don't let the slightest suspicion strike you.

"Is this okay?

In the guise of calm, Roy meets Joseph in the eye. It is unacceptable to show slight gaps or to divert attention. Because I knew that Joseph would judge by account, not logic.

"I'll go if you need me."

"Oh, I'm sorry you stopped calling."

Words are not evil on the back. When Joseph says so, he walks toward Cummer. Even if Joseph is no longer visible, Roy goes down the road without distraction. It wasn't until hours later that I breathed. It is also as it enters the woods off the road to hide, and is anointed with sweat dripping from the whole body.

"Ha-ha-ha... That guy hasn't changed a bit from the old days."
