"Heeko, look at this!

Kasumi was visiting the room where Heeko was staying.

Kasumi, who works and plays his voice brightly, was spreading the drawings in front of Heeko. It's a huge mechanical arm drawing that thrived on the two of us a while ago to become weird tension.

"Bye! It's one of those secret blueprints I wanted to see before! How about that? Though I referenced your father's, I think it's pretty powerful, after all. Now I'm re-pulling the drawings again..."

In the sense of friendship, Heeko is Kasumi's closest opponent. I feel very comfortable and have similar tastes.

But Heeko couldn't make a scene with Kasumi, as usual.

"……… Ah."

Seeing the depressed heeko, Kasumi cheeks like he is in trouble.

"How are you, aren't you?

"…… Sort of."

The only thing Heeko could squeeze out was a deceptive smile.

Heeko has been pulling into his room for more than a day since he escaped from Kanyel.

"Mm, I'm sorry. It felt unreadable, didn't it, me?"

"No, that's not true. I'm sorry."

He bothered to come to the room where Heeko was staying and try to cheer me up.

It's bad for such a kasumi, but it never made me feel depressed again.

"Uh, Kasmin. I heard you're recruiting crab crusades in your guild..."

"Yeah. It looks like the Crusaders of the Fifty Hierarchy are recruiting in their guild and Mr. Serena is vetting the personnel. I was bounced. I had no choice but to turn to the defensive line. Our party is a thirty tier defense"

The guild also recruited fifty tier lords, Kanyel's crusade party. Kasumi seems to have courageously run for office, but he couldn't seem to pass Serena's review.

But Heeko knew it and couldn't meet the Alliance's call.

"What are you going to do, Heeko?

"We are……………."

Kasumi, who revealed their party plans, hears what Heeko and the others are planning. Heeko, who did not have the skill to respond to it, was annoyed without power.

"……… I don't know."

I haven't heard what Lil and Colo are going to do with Heeko in the inn. And Heeko couldn't even decide what he was going to do.

The sight I saw when Colo held me and ran away from Kanyel. That's when I noticed the wounds left in my chest that I remembered.

Kasumi smiles gently without looking distracted.

"Oh well. It's not that easy to decide."

……

"I'm going home now. I'll leave the drawings, so look if you feel like it. So next time, why don't we talk together?

A room where Kasumi, who tried to cheer up Heeko to the end, also left and became quiet.

Alone, Heeko takes out the pocket watch he got from Lil and sighs.

"……… ha."

The sound of the chains ringing out of the larynx. Heako closes her eyes as she clears her ears to the sound of a pocket watch that is activated by a built-in, elaborate movement and moves the needle.

If Lil gave me this, what would I do if I heard about Kanyel's crusade call?

"You don't even have to think about it."

She runs for office without hesitation. Even when they were letting him get away, he kept screaming that he wouldn't run away with squeezing his throat. There's no way that lil let revenge opportunities slip by. And undoubtedly just have the strength and willingness to be elected a member of the Crusades.

Even Colo should join if Lil goes. That's when I chose to escape from Kanyel, but Colo is strong in the first place. Even in Heeko's knowledge, his talent for combat is flattering. You won't get away with it when you're ready, not an accident.

More importantly, those two didn't get lost doing what they did even when they ran into Kanyel. Lil barked when he fought, and Colo didn't get lost running away.

I ask myself, therefore.

I couldn't do anything then.

With both the armor to defend himself and the spear to wield, I couldn't make one decision. All I did was tremble at flashback memories. He shoved his weakness forward and exposed himself to too much pity as he wrapped himself in the magic he was supposed to want to be strong.

How can I participate in such a thing?

At times of need, it may harden again. The traumatic effects I remember are not small enough to just contain them. Having become aware of such a heartbreak, Heeko was unable to resolve to fight.

That's how I heard a knock in Heeko's ear with a heavy heart.

"Heeko, are you there"

"……… brother?

Whoever it was, Heeko was surprised at the voice he could hear.

Speaking of which, Gigan had been contacting me a while back that she was coming back to this city. I hadn't heard until the exact date, but I guess that was today. He hurries up, opens the door, and invites Gigan.

"Brother…… Long time no see"

"Wow. It's been a while since they called me that."

Short hair pruned to a forged, muscular body. To his unchanged appearance, dear, Gigan replies with a smile of welcome on his face.

"It's been about six months since you've been to Wang Du, but it sounds like you're in some kind of trouble,"

"Ha, I will."

The information on the demonic runoff is not hidden from the public. Kanyel's crusade is the only thing that has succeeded in containing the demons of what has failed, so the city is only somewhat obsessed with the extent to which the upset has run.

"So what's wrong with you?"

Gigan sitting face to face just cuts in.

Heeko's forcibly made smile is about to collapse into the phrase "what's wrong" to ask about the situation instead of asking about the recent situation.

"Duh, what is it, what is it?

"Don't deceive me. Why are you being such a jerk?

"hahaha...... I knew, you know what I mean"

"Then you'll see. We've been away for a while, but we've known each other for a long time."

I'm told, Heeko drops his shoulder in mindfulness.

He was worried about Kasumi, but he was quite obvious. Even if not, Gigan and I have been dating for over three years. You'll find out soon enough.

Encouraged to talk about the situation.

Hearing everything, Gigan nodded, uh-huh.

"Don't worry too much about it. This time it wasn't compatible and they weren't good enough. Even if I could just go home alive, thank you for the colonel. I can't. I need to fight again."

"I hate you!

Gigan, to the denial that came back strong, I think, whoa.

I meant to say the obvious as Gigan. The management of the risk was well tapped.

Deny it outright.

"Sister Lil and Colo are definitely going to join us. I don't want those two to leave me. Yikes. I... want to be strong!

Seeing Heeko desperately recruiting with a serious expression, I think Gigan has changed.

When I was with myself, I probably accepted Gigan's advice. That objectively conflicts with a common sense Gigan opinion.

That is so, one more thing.

"Ho. Lil 'sister'? Sounds like you're doing a lot better."

"Ugh. Oh, don't say much. You're so close now, and you honestly respect me."

"It's surprising. I would have disobeyed you. I mean, I didn't make the wrong decision."

"Brother, you're mean..."

"Ha. Maybe a little bit."

I make fun of Heeko for being dug up and messing with myself only six months ago, and then I throw a question to him asking if he could help this sister.

"You want to be strong, huh? Speaking of which, why did Heeko express his magic in the first place?"

"Well, I wanted to be strong."

"Right. I made you an adventurer because you said so. So, in fact, you're stronger."

"It's not enough yet."

"Heh. For what, it's not enough? I don't just want to be strong, I want to be strong for what."

At the age of twelve, Heeko, helped by Gigan, began to follow him as he was and became an adventurer.

Heeko's magical source is his desire for transformation. But why did you want to change? A little impurities are shredded with Q&A with Gigan, reminding me of my roots.

"I am……"

I remember when I wanted to be strong.

When I saw the platoon scattered to let the Heekos get away. When I saw Gigan cover me wide open with her always scratched palm. When my father showed me his back to protect myself.

I thought about it all the time.

I don't want to be protected and left behind.

I wanted to protect someone like them who protected me.

I wanted the power to be who I could protect someone, not just who I would be protected. I wanted to be strong enough to protect someone and be proud. It was the power I sought for it.

"Brother, I have to go to the guild."

"Whoa. Go.... This will be the last time I can help you and push your back."

Seeing Heeko's face with determination, Gigan laughs.

"Because you're much stronger now."

An admirer says he has gone beyond one admiration.

Heeko opens his eyes to the fact that he notices. I used to be happy with that word of someone who stood before me and protected me, and there was more loneliness than that.

But also through the loneliness, Heeko laughed and moved on.

"Right!

"Ooh, that's right. You look good now, Heeko."

"Oh? Could you marry me?"

"Say silly."

Gigan smiles bitterly.

"You're a waste to me."

"Uggie, no, no!

When Heeko visited the Alliance, a dear companion was crying out.

"Please let me go. Please let me go! I don't want to go to hell!

It was Colo who was screaming with noise and attracting the attention of the human being in the guild.

Usually cheerful moodmaker's girlfriend raised such a voice and other horrible people appeared, but Heeko was also the old man who knew he was in charge of the colo.

"......... What are you doing?

"Oh! Hee, please help me!

Speaking up, he was asked for help by Colo, who brightened his face that salvation had appeared. But Colo is just in the shoulder of the circle, and if he's serious, he can't get away with it. Heeko's eyes only seemed to have parents and children close together.

"So, what are you doing?

"Hmm? I'm going to give you special training."

When he shifts his gaze to the circle without a choice, he laughs at the evil side.

"I'm taking you because I'm trying to re-slap the sexual roots of my sweet little colorful boy."

"I don't like it. Why do you need violence to change your mind -! There must be more peaceful, more humane means!

"There's nothing more than tapping to get the impurities out, is there? That's right, do you want to do Heeko's lady too?

The second half of the invitation was exactly, with a mild tone that I uttered my thoughts.

"If it's the least of you three, it's definitely because you're a lady."

"Mm."

I had a cock. I don't know if he was a substitute for Colo, but he wasn't a heeko who didn't know much but told me that by his old man and kept quiet.

"Fine. It's like training, right? I don't know what it's like, but why don't we do it!

I'm not doing adventurers or anything unless I'm willing to lose. Heeko cuts his way straight into the circle.

"Hee! They train with me."

"Mochi! I'll beat this old man up with you."

"Thank you very much! I knew you'd understand the pain of being one of us together!

"Naturally...... hmm? Hell?"

I find myself uncomfortable with Colo's line emphasizing the part of smiling and suffering that I would be happy to do, but it's too late.

was grabbed by a crest and a collar.

"Ha ha! Young people don't want to be healthy!

"Hey, what the fuck! I walk normally...... I can't resist this!?

Desperately trying to escape, I can't do it for some reason. The feeling of power being let go. But I don't understand how they do that.

To this end, I realized why Colo, who is mounded on his shoulder, wouldn't run away. It's not crooked, it's not really getting out of here.

"Oh, that's a good move. I don't mind. The lady also seems to have a tendency to work out, which is pretty good."

In recognition of Heeko's resistance, Krull gently drags the two geniuses. Serena will be sitting at reception on the way.

Serena sitting at the reception counter is glaring at me. Even though he leaves the defense to the 'Path of Glory (Gloria Road)', the heart and effort that the demonic rampage is giving her is enormous. There are no more people stopping by than usual because of the killing, and there are no people around Serena.

There, the circle approaches without fear.

"Serena's lady. We'll rent the training room."

"Please. Please use this time as a matter of priority under my authority given in an emergency. Of course it's free and I'll make sure you can spend as much as you want."

Serena is now in an important position in dealing with demonic outbursts, which means she has more authority. Colo and Heeko are the bearers of the power that would definitely be incorporated if they ran for this crusade. If those two are going to be strong in training, I don't even wish. Selena, who is hungry for war, lends the key to the training room.

"But it's a wonderful and delicate technique of control. Worked out moves, worked out fights, impressed."

"You shouldn't be an adventurer these days because you're putting technology behind you. Even if you lose your mind and body, you'll always be a half-baker of strength. Unless you have a special magic trick like Lil 'Doll's lady, you must have the skills to move your body."

"I agree wholeheartedly with you. I have also recently failed due to a lot of force pushing, unknowingly cluttered. I'm savvy."

Serena and Krull, who talk and talk about things like martial artists' hearts and minds, and Kolo and Heeko, who are caught, have a secret conversation.

"……… Who is this old man?

"I don't know much about it either, but I'm fine. Hee, if you're with me, I'm sure Uncle Crukle will be able to take a blow too......!

"Even between me and the two of us, that's a lot of refinement. Something!? Seriously what the fuck is this old man!?

Heeko raised a shout of amazement at the strength of the circle that Colo talks about.
