Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

S-ranked adventurer...

Zakke mumbles when she sees my face, whether she feels something.

"I've told you a lot, but even if you learn the sword, don't be alarmed." Do you understand? "

»» »Yes!» »

Kevin summed up the conversation and the children finally started practicing the sword.

"No. I'm sorry. I put you in the wrong place."

Kevin comes to me as the kids fight each other with their wooden swords.

"No, I understand what Kevin is trying to say, and this job is very deadly.If you want to keep your children from dying, someone will have to talk about it first. ”

If children make a living with swords, their biological parents will talk about it someday.But it's too late to talk when you've grown up and your thoughts have hardened.Kevin would have liked to tell it now that he was a child.

In that regard, I'm a fugitive, and I'm going to leave this place someday.That's not too far into the future. In that case, it doesn't matter if you think it's the scary adventurer's uncle, but it doesn't matter if it's irrelevant.

Kevin's relationship with his children is close to his friends, even though he is a teacher.Even if you do the same thing as me, it's possible that you won't take what Kevin says seriously.No, I've bothered to ask the extra person for me, so I tried several times, and I guess I couldn't tell them well.So he asked me to do it.

"Chronicity leads to death..."

Kevin said while stroking the wound on his left cheek with his right hand.

I may have experienced such a situation and retired.As far as I'm concerned, Kevin is a good caretaker, so I don't think it's bad to be waving a wooden sword with children like this.Maybe it's a vocation.

"It's the same thing whether it's S-rank or D-rank."It's dangerous to think like you're getting on your nerves. ”

"Yeah. At least I want to make sure the kids I teach don't die."

I can't help but admire you for being cool.However, few children can turn their attention to the situation of the admirer.I think if I could tell you a little bit about it... it would be...

"Good guy, Kevin."

"Ugh, shut up."

Kevin shyly scratches his head and looks away. He's a really nice guy.

"...... Mr. Kaido."

It was a dark-haired boy who came into this conversation between me and Kevin. It was Lark.

What's the matter?

Lark comes in front of me with a wooden sword in his hand.

"Please teach me the sword."

Lark looked up at me with a serious look, and after saying that, lowered his head.

Me?

Yes!

Lark is a very clever type to look at.Even though Kevin taught me, you don't know that asking me to teach you is almost a betrayal of Kevin...

You're telling me that to Kevin, right?

"Yes, but...."

Lark has something on his mind and has come to beg me to teach him.

Looking towards Kevin, he squeezes his shoulders with his palms facing up.Kevin thinks Lark has no choice but to do that.Then the conversation should be between me and Lark.

Why do you want me to teach you the sword?

"... my parents were killed by a bandit... so I want revenge."

Lark makes a slurping bomb statement.Kevin nodded tinyly as he looked toward him.

Even if you say you want revenge, you don't know who you're dealing with, do you?

"When it comes to bandits around here, there's only a handyman."It's up to them. "

“What are you actually going to do about revenge?”

"Kill him!" Kill all the bandits! "

Lark, you mean you're going to crush a handyman by yourself?

……………

I'll do it. But I'll tell you what.

To be realistic, it's impossible, isn't it?

"It's not about impossibility, it's about doing it."I will definitely avenge you. ”

"I don't think I can do anything just because of my temper."

But if you learn the sword, you can kill it!

Lark shouts out loud.Then we see what happened to the children who were meeting the wooden sword.

"Hey! You guys are practicing!"

Suddenly, Kevin clapped his hands and called out to the children.

Lark!

While the children were returning to practice, only Zakke and Yana rushed towards Lark.

What a nuisance!

Zakke stands next to Lark and points his wooden sword at me.

"Stop it, Zakke!"

Lark was the one who stopped Zakke.

Lark?

"I asked you to teach me the sword."Then they asked me why I wanted to know, and I told them I wanted to kill the bandits.Then I was told it wasn't realistic... "

"Wasn't Lark being bullied...?"

Yana whispers to Lark.

"Yeah, that's all. Besides, that's not the kind of person Mr. Kaido is.He saw me as a man and listened to me.That's why I'm so annoyed. "

"Revenge is... no good...?"

Yana freaks out, but she asks me that.

"No, I didn't say that.Revenge is also a good cause.You can be much stronger than vaguely learning a sword.However, it would be too unrealistic to root out all the handymen by yourself.

It's much more difficult than aiming for a S-ranked adventurer, and it's not realistic. "

"You're not saying revenge is no good...?"

Yana looks at me strangely and says:

"Are you saying you don't resent me for killing my parents?"It would be too trivial a word to think of.I take resentment for granted, and vengeance for revenge is a matter of course. "

…………………

After seeing my face, Yana looks at Zakke and Lark's.

"I didn't think any grown-up other than Kevin would say that.Khado-san is one of us. ”

Zakke says that.Looks like I'm one of them.

I feel like I'm close to my age, and these three are the trio I'm always with.I don't know what kind of situation Lark is in right now, but Jana and Zakke are running to protect him.Lark seems to have a good companion.

"Friends are good, Lark."

"... yes?"

"If you can't choose what you're trying to do, I won't teach you a sword."

………………

"I taught you, and I thought you could do it. I don't want Lark to burst into it recklessly and die."

"... I see. I won't be reckless." I promise. ”

It's about the children. I don't lie, but I don't know if I'll keep my promise.I want to believe you...

“Khaido, if you have time, can you tell these guys something?”

Kevin, who was listening to us, puts his hand on Zack and Lark's head and says:

Three of us?

Can't you?

Kevin nods and shows that I'm fine because I'm watching...

"... Okay, if Kevin says that, I'll tell you."

"Thank you."

"" "I did it!" "

The three of them are happy... but now, what should I teach them...

Nil and I are here to gather information, and we will leave the village once we have the information we need.After that, you will be taught by Kevin.In other words, if you put on a strange habit, the balance will break down and you will be messed up.

"That's right..."

I was falling at my feet, and I took a wooden stick.I wonder if any of my children picked it up somewhere.

"I don't know what to tell you, so I can't help it."

I put a wooden stick forward and told the three of them. [M]

Huh? But...

All I have is a wooden stick the length of a wooden sword.Much thinner and weaker than a wooden sword. You can't compare a wooden sword cut out of a tree with a stick of wood falling around it.

"Bring it in because it's good."

But that's enough.

"Um, yeah..."

"Ask me to tell you, what are you freaking out about!" Woah! "

Pasch!

It would be good for Zakke not to be reluctant at such a time.

It just feels like momentum, but it's a good thing.It was just a child. Just by lightly striking the wooden sword that was swinging down from the side, it was fluttering and deviating from its trajectory.

Hah, hah!

Me too!

Passepartout! Passepartout!

Yana and Lark, who followed Zakke, were similarly distracted by the wooden sword with a wooden stick.

Yana is a girl, and she has no power.Besides, I couldn't say that it was a personality suitable for rough times, and Zakke and Lark tried to learn the sword, so I guess they arrived together...

Lark is the type who thinks with his head and moves his body.He seems to be good at thinking about what is the best thing to do at that time.It was the exact opposite of Zakke's type, but it was exactly what it looked like.

Everyone is only taught by Kevin, and it is quite shaped for children.In terms of taste, Zakke and Lark took the lead one step at a time.Zakke was the type who appeared in front of Gorigori, and Lark was the center guard as the command tower.Yana... if she could use it, she might be better suited to magic than a sword.But if you dare to teach a sword, you should aim for a type like Heine and the others who specialize in back support... and seriously think about it to your child opponents.

"You seem to be teaching Kevin well."It's not bad for everyone. "

"I did it! Ah, heh...?"

……………

Zakke and Lark had a face that didn't float against Yana, who honestly showed joy.Looking at it, Yana leans her neck to see if she was happy.

Is it strange that such a thin wooden stick could not be broken after the meeting between the wooden sword and the wooden stick?

"Yes, yes..."

Lark nodded honestly.

Is it magic…?

Zakke's tone changed a lot.It seems that he uses an unfamiliar salute, which is somewhat uncomfortable.

"I don't use magic."Of course, the magic tools.

Simply, they're weak enough not to break a wooden stick. ”

……………

Zakke and Lark look rather regretful.A child with all his emotions on his face is interesting to watch.

If you're unhappy, why don't you try a little more?

Yes! Please!

"I'll definitely fold it..."

"I'll do my best..."

The three of them are coming at me at the same time.There is nothing more than being a friendly threesome, and it is linked to nature.Even though I am a child, I can't do advanced things.

Zakke charged, Lark moved along with it, and Yana moved one step later from behind.However, children are the ones who can't even think about others.However, Lark and Yana were able to do it.

Smiling at the three people waving their wooden swords, I continued to nibble at all attacks with wooden sticks.I might not be very popular, but... I promised to teach you a sword!We're hit! Even if they did, the three of them wouldn't be particularly convinced by Zakke and Lark.

”Haa... haa...”

"Haa... not at all..."

"I can't hit it... haa..."

"That's it, there's no need to force it."

All three of them sat down with shortness of breath.

To be precise, the wooden sword hits the wooden stick.However, it doesn't capture the core, so it doesn't hit.There are limits to what children can do with their power, and I didn't think I could do that from the beginning.

"Nuhahaha!" I'm getting hit! "

Kevin laughed when he came to see how the three of them were doing.

"Damn..."

What? Did you think you could suddenly make a good decision on an S-ranked adventurer opponent?

"I-It's not like that..."

Zakke looks me in the face.At the time of his regret, he admitted that he felt sorry for him, but he was cute.

"How about that?" All the kids. ”

This is what Kevin told me.

"I can't say anything because I don't know the general level of children, but I don't think it's bad for my feelings.I think it's shaking like that. ”

Well, I'll teach you!

Kevin laughs happier than a child.Where does the first silver Kevin go... maybe it's a good thing, but... I wonder if it's because of my feelings.

"So, what are you going to teach me?"

Is that why you came all the way here to ask Kevin?

"Ugh... well, that's good!"It's not going to decrease, is it? "

"I don't mind, but please be honest."In this case, Lark is more solid. "

It's Kevin.

"I don't think it's good to cheat..."

"I'd rather... Mr. Kevin."You should think about it a little bit. "

"...... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Kevin leans up and falls from his knee.

"Please... let me see..."

Kevin murmured louder than Yana.It seems that his spirit has broken down.

"It's okay, there's nothing to lose."

"Yes..."

I'm only good at dealing with children, and I don't have time with Kevin.Children also know why they miss it.Kevin will forgive me for this.

"Even if I tell you, it's a very basic thing, and even if Kevin asks, I don't know what that is."

"Eh?!"

That's all you can tell me?! Lark's face.

Even though you haven't even done the basics, you think you can do more than that?

……………

“If you say the basics are perfect, just show them.”

I'll take the wooden stick and set it up for Lark.

"The three of them will pass if they break my stick."What do you say? Can you do that? "

"" ""...... ""

I was just attacking all of them, and I said hahaha, so I know I can't.

"Ah, what's so basic about that?!" Is that it?! "

Zakke's words have become something that is not a salutation.

"No. I'm sure of what Khaido said."Hit the core with the sword. Isn't that the basics I've been telling you so many times?Zakke doesn't remember because he doesn't honestly listen to me. "

"Ugh..."

"I see. You guys. I'm telling you that the Corner S-Rank Adventurer will deal with you, so don't complain about it."

"... please!"

"Anytime is fine."

Haha!

From the results, the three of them tried until their strength was exhausted, but they were not able to break a thin stick of wood.

And this became the morning routine, and from that day on, the attitude of the people of the village changed sharply.

Simply put, my eyes softened so much that they could talk to me.They told me that the kids were good people about me and Nil.I didn't want to teach the sword, but it turned out to be Owl.

In the next few days, while fulfilling our request, when we are looking at the children, we will get information from unexpected places.

Khaido-san came all the way here to find a job as an adventurer, didn't he?

Since I became so close, my children have also become normal with me.In particular, Zakke, Yana, and Lark treated me differently.

Zakke was strong at first, but he nostalgically misses me the most, and he is very happy to put it on something.

Yana stopped eating and her voice grew a little louder.Once, when I showed you the example of whether it was good to swing this sword in a simulated fight with Nil, Yana was always trying to be close to Nil because she had a sense of respect for Nil.With regard to slavery, adults may look disgusting, but it seems that the child is not equipped with a sense of slavery, and it seems that she nostalgically feels like a normal strong sister.This is the village, and the absence of slaves will be great.

And Lark is pretty aggressive, trying to teach me something.Lark was the only one who was quite greedy to hear anything.And it's Lark who's still listening to me.Now, during the break, Lark and I are hitting the wind.

That's right.

”If I kill the bandits and give you the money... will you kill me?”

A kid around the age of ten would say something like this... and hate bandits pretty much.Or did you see your parents die, or was the body damaged?Either way, there must have been something so small that she wanted me to kill someone.

Lark, do you want to kill the bandits so much?

"... yeah. I'll keep my promise and I won't do anything reckless."But... if I had the same power as Mr. Kaido, I would never forgive the bandits. "

"If I go in alone, I'll definitely die first."

"Eh?!"

"Although I'm an S-rank adventurer, I'm a single person."No matter how much power you have, you can't live with hundreds of opponents. "

There are people there, and depending on how you do it, you can do it, but there's a limit to how much you can do it alone.Holy Soul Magic is also powerful, but not universal.I will shoot the magic of the Holy Soul, so I have gathered here.What did I tell you, and you can't get together?

"But... bandits..."

"That mindset is dangerous." I don't know who you're talking to, but there are bandits who are strong.I don't think they're murderers, and I'm fine with the tricks.It's even more troublesome than the guards who come right from the front. ”

Well, bandits and trained guards have different terrain, so the guards are more scared of the same number, but that's not what I want to tell you right now.

"Even Khaido-san..."

"I know you want to root out the bandits, but to do that, use your head first."What's the best thing to do?Don't forget that, no matter how critical the situation is. ”

"I'll... use my head..."

Lark could do it. You're still a child, and you probably can't do much, but there are many ways to root out the bandits, other than slashing them with your sword.Lark would have noticed that.

“Where does Lark live now?”

I'll change my mind so you don't think too much.
