Welcome to the Premium Alliance! ~ Billboard daughter's beloved elf soothes everyone's heart ~

The joy of life.

I thought it was unrelated to me.

"Gil, don't tell me to get along with everybody else.I'm in love with your abilities.At least I won't betray you. "

I still remember the words spoken by the chief on the day he sold himself a fight and mercilessly defeated him.

I was brought up with this ridiculous story of being one of us, and even though I said I was completely sorry, I followed the signs of a strong person that I felt on my skin."If you can beat yourself, you can join us."

I was thinking back then.It was a difficult match to settle, but I lost... to the leader who fought with the sweet idea of not letting me get hurt when he tried to kill me.

The leader said he almost won, but I knew then that for the first time in my life there were walls that I couldn't cross.

I think I've changed a lot.Even though you were told that you had changed since the founding of Ortus, you didn't come here, but now you can still recognize it.

I didn't trust anyone before I came to Ortus.

"Swear to God, you can say anything with your mouth."

I see. That's why we're going to spend a lot of time in the future knowing that's the truth.If you betray each other, I won't forgive you then.All you have to do now is put it in your head.Why don't you join me, Gil? "

You have no right to say no to a loser.

"... that's not how it is.Well, that's fine now. "

I thought it would be easier to understand the rule of no mercy if I betrayed you.But even if I betray you, I'm no match for the leader.

I didn't feel that way because I didn't have the advantage of betraying you in the first place, but I decided that if anything happened, I would be strong enough to be rewarded.From that day on, my goal will be to exceed the leader, and that has not yet been achieved.

"Oh, a new buddy?Nice to meet you. I'm Sauradite the dwarf.Feel free to call me Saura. "

I was taken to the base by the leader after the conversation that I would be one of them.The small eastern country is a despicable place that no one can stop seeing.I didn't know what it meant to choose such a place, but I thought it was much better than a big city with too many people.

Going further east to the edge of the small eastern country of Lille Torrey, there were five people gathered in a meadow that was nothing but vast.

The leader laughs that he plans to make a fine building here eventually.It wasn't supposed to be easy, but there was a strange conviction that he would do it if he said so.

The five gathered are said to have already been solicited by the leader.Seven of us here are about to start.It's a small number of people to become an Advanced Alliance, but at first it would look like this.

Honestly, I was relieved to hear that.I didn't trust anybody.The fewer people, the better.

The chief introduced me to five people.The first time Saura introduced herself, she approached me without fear and reached out for a handshake.But I struck the hand reflectively.

"Iiiiiiiiit!Hey, what are you doing?Don't lick the weakness of the dwarf!?

Happy to hear the protest.I immediately reflected that I had done it.I had a feeling of disgust towards people, especially women, but I didn't feel like attacking someone who didn't do anything.

"Hmm, you.I don't think so.It's not forgiven because you have a good face. "

"Face? Oh, really.It's pretty ready. "

"Nh, shut up...!

As soon as I slapped Saura's hand, Kai came forward and complained.I knew I had done something bad, but the remark was mine for me.The boss can stop us when we're about to kill each other with anger.

"Yes, stop. You guys aren't fighting face-to-face.The Ortus rule is that a real fight between friends is a bad thing, isn't it?

"What? That's the first time I've heard that.I mean, what's Ortus? "

"That's the first time I've said that.And Ortus is the name of the Alliance. "

The leader then began to talk happily about the meaning of the name Ortus.I often remember being innocent and letting out the poison.

"Ortus means dawn.The Dark Ages were finally over with the Demon King's runaway, right?The guild was born at the dawn of a long night.So, Ortus, this Alliance is getting bigger and bigger!

"You don't have a lot of confidence.Oh, thank you, Ludo. It won't hurt anymore. "

The leader of the dream was like a child.When I was told that I would eventually become a Premium Alliance, I thought it was a dream story.But I also understood at that moment that everything was serious.

"... I'm sorry."

"Huh? Uh, okay.I must have done something that bothered you, too.I'm sorry. "

Me too. You said something you didn't like.I'm sorry. "

An apology came out quickly. Neither of them pursued it deeply, and they apologized to me for what they had done wrong.

I remember thinking it wasn't uncomfortable.And there was a strange feeling that the leader and the talent that the leader had gathered could be trusted a little.

I was going to live by myself for the rest of my life.

I thought I could trust people twice.

It was really weird and disgusting that this kind of thing wobbled my determination, but I thought I was finally out of my mind.

Nevertheless, when it comes to whether you can actually be trusted so easily, that's not the case.

For about a hundred years afterwards, he was vigilant towards any member, and had only the minimal involvement required with the leader.The old senators recognized that it was me, so it was a particularly unusual attitude, but I also knew that the new members were distancing themselves so as to be afraid of me.

"Hey, Gil. Only in Ortus, take that hood and mask off."

"Why? I don't feel the need."

Such a suggestion was made by the leader one day.I am aware that I have a good look.That's why it was so depressing for the crap to come closer.Severely uncomfortable and unbearable pain.That's why you're hiding your face in self-defense.

The leader should have understood, but he struggled to understand why he said such a thing now.

"You don't have to be merciful when a weird guy comes by.It's easy to understand, right? But it would be helpful if you didn't take your life because you're one of us. "

"... why do you go so far?"

The chief answered my question with a smile.

"I want you to relax here alone."

I didn't understand what you were saying.It took me a few seconds to understand that Ortus was supposed to be a place to calm down.

That's ridiculous. Rather, the proposal is the opposite of relaxation for me.Besides, I can always calm down when I'm in the shadows.I didn't feel any need for it. I immediately turned it down.

"You're stubborn.Well, this is an order as a leader.Don't hide your face inside Ortus. "

/(adv, adv-to, vs) (on-mim) (on-mim) feeling better/feeling better/feeling better

"If you don't like it, take me down.If you can beat me, you can (...) forgive me for hiding your face (...) "

It soon became clear that you were provoking me by imitating my lines that day.With blood on my head, I immediately applied to the leader for a duel and lost.

As a result, the humiliation of that day, when it became a feather to expose his face in Ortus, could not be exhausted.It was only a few decades later that I realized that it had had a good effect on me, but it was quite rough inside at the time.I just get distant requests to try not to return to the Alliance.

But then I realized.By showing his face every time he returned to Ortus, he was able to switch on and off.Without knowing it, my shoulders began to relax by returning to Ortus.

And the eyes of my fellow Ortus turned soft.

After I realized that, I began to recognize members of Ortus as "associates."When I thought it was something to protect, even if I was betrayed, I didn't think it would matter because I was winning with power.

Then you can trust your allies completely at first.If you betray me, it's the last time.The first rule the leader told me fell into my heart for the first time.

And even that consciousness, the encounter that turned into a rattle, came that day.

Too weak a life falling in a dungeon.I didn't know how to deal with it, but the moment I thought it was my life that would die soon if I didn't protect it, my sense of purpose that I had to protect it no matter what.

I mobilised all my knowledge and experience to deal with young children.Be gentle and not scared.Don't scare me.I didn't know how to tell you to trust me.I wanted to swear I'd protect you.

I swear to you, I've kept you away from it.I didn't think the word would be born in me.But it was an incredibly natural feeling.Perhaps from the moment I first saw Meg...

I guess it's because I met Meg that I've changed rapidly.

Meg, who trusts his opponent unconditionally and completely if he is gentle, is dazzling in the opposite direction to me.It's too dangerous, but I think I should be the one who deserves this kid's trust.

I've already put Meg in danger twice.There is only one thing I can do against Meg who will show me a smile that will save me every time.

Whether you fail or fail, I swear many times.To protect you.

"Mr. Gill! Well done on your work!

When I returned to Ortus and took off my mask and hood, Meg welcomed me with a smile today.I pick up Meg, who rushes in joyfully, and I come up with something.I haven't made any plans or adjustments yet, but that will be fine later.I will tell them first now.

"Meg, can you give me time for the next holiday?"

Without thinking about it, I invited Meg.
