What’s Wrong with a Great Hero Being Jobless

Lesson 19: You don't have to be a big hero.

I don't know why I have to do this. But Majory says he wants to, so, well, I guess he'll have to.

Marjorie's a strange kid, she's so weird, but I kind of can't stay without Marjorie anymore. I wonder why. Because you mixed your skin? Because you did all sorts of things? Because Majory did it for you? There could be that, too. Did I, one day, do that to a girl other than Majory? I don't know because I don't remember, but somehow I don't feel like it's the first time. I don't know, I feel like I'm used to it. So it's the first time you've ever forgotten? I don't think so. More probably, what, spiritual? I think that's the part.

Majory, maybe because he's a weird kid, but there's something strong about him. I mean, it doesn't shake, it doesn't shake. I'm stuck in it, leaning over, getting my support, and I can't leave. Probably, but like that. When I'm by Majory, I calm down. Something's making me feel okay. That you're going to figure it out.

That Majory said, "I'm going to see a zombie," and I said, "I disagreed," but Majory was going to go alone, so I decided to follow him. I just had to do that anyway.

Then, from the day after that happened, Majory opened a fortune teller. I mean, opening up, all of a sudden in Altana, I just called out to people on the road and said something that sounded like fortune telling.

But this seems to hit me a lot, and every time Majory said something, they were usually surprised. How do you know, like, uh, lie, how? So, when the fortune had ended the whole way, Majory got his hands on it all the time. Still, not to say how much, the opponent put on Majory's hand, bronze coins and occasional silver coins.

I'm not opening a store, walking fortune teller Majory, was quite remarkable and quickly gained a reputation. Looking for Majory, the person asking for fortune also came out.

Majory handed me the money he'd earned, silently. I, to the extent of that money, ate dinner with Majory and found an inn to stay with. I carefully washed and carefully loved Majory's entire body. I'm not sure if Majory feels good. But the more I thought about it, the more Marjorie stubbornly caressed me after that. I've been there many, many times. I was about to go crazy at the end of giving it to you, and in that case, I thought I loved Majory so much that I could die, so much that I really, really didn't have any more. Apparently Majory enjoyed doing so. I was so happy that Majory enjoyed it and did.

That's what Majory says, so I have to go, no matter what, no matter where.

Majory took a fortune around the market from noon, made more than five silver because of what it was, and left there in the evening. Majory doesn't talk extra. I'm just following.

I was walking over to the North Gate, or something, and I was called from behind.

"Kazura!? Majory!? Not Kazura and Majory!? Right!?"

It was a voice I knew. Turning around, a girl waving her legs out as she wore a clasp.

"... Amro?

"Wow. It's Kazla and Majory!

Amro looked much like the last time I saw him, but he hung a helmet on his hips, and then, he wrapped something like a stall of white feathers around his neck. Besides, Amro wasn't alone, he had company. Five. All, a woman, with a white feather stall wrapped around her neck after all, or white feather embellishments on her hat.

"Hey, I need something..."

And Amro said something unto the women, and came running unto us.

"Long time no see. But don't you? Something, but it's been a long time."

"... right. Yeah. Something."

"Huh... Huh..."

Majory pointed to the women with Amro who were about to leave.

"Wild Angels......"

"Ah. Marjorie, you know?

"... huhuhu..."

Majory just gave Amro a little nod to surprise. Wild Angels? I have no idea what you're talking about, but Majory listens to a lot of people in fortune. I know a lot of things I don't.

"Yah..."

Amro looked all the way around.

"Is that it? Are you going somewhere?

"Yep... huhuhuhuhu..."

Marjorie walked away and me and Amro took the form of following nature.

"Something."

Amro spoke with a dull laugh.

"Party over here, devastated? Shit. When the spider dashes and chases it, it's a hole rat, so maybe the mushroom and Michio are dead. Uh. I don't know what happened to mushrooms, but I think Michio's dead for sure. Hisaya and Keita will escape. - It sucks. Haha. So me, when I came back to Altana alone and I was confused, the Wild Angels people called me, and I had some sympathy? I know they made me do it, but if I clan in, they invite me, come in. So, it feels like. What about you?"

Marjorie seemed unwilling to explain, so I told her about the upside of it. Amro laughed, haha,

"There's nothing we can do."

I said. I agreed, so I just laughed a little too.

"So, Kazra, where are you going? If that was it, would you like some rice? But it's the North Gate, right? It's time for the night, isn't it?

"Yeah......"

Zombies.

I couldn't even say, and the North Gate approached me while I was clouding my answers. There, wearing glasses and cleric clothes... Hisaya and then, silver-haired... grew a beard and it had some kind of rustling vibe, but I'm pretty sure it was because of my back, there was a keita. Ah. It's not Keita, is it Johann?

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh......!

Amro pointed to Hisaiah and Johan.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......!

"... why Amro"

Hisaya is awkward yes, but Johann is flat. Something's so cloudy in my eyes, it feels like it.

"Hmm... you were alive"

"You're not alive!

Amro swept his cheek, wondering if he was going to pack it for both of us, but, uh... sighed and dropped his shoulder.

"Ma, yiya. I can't help it now. I'm not dead, I'm alive."

"... okay?

I was flashy.

Amro nodded with a creep,

"Yeah. 'Cause it's hard."

"... well"

"Well... let's go...... hufu..."

When Majory walked away, I was like a doll that would follow me automatically, and Hisaya and Johann were also attached. Amro followed me, too.

"Huh...? Are we all going?

When I asked, Hisaya turned around and fixed the position of her glasses.

"... the witch told me to come."

"I could have done it myself."

Johann is smiling lightly.

"I'm interested. Zombies. That's what you wanna see."

"Zombies......?

Amro didn't seem to know what it meant, so I briefly taught him. That this mortal who died in Grimgal, if left alone for five days without cremation, would become a zombie because of the curse of the Immortal King or something.

"Huh? Well, Michio and stuff could be zombies, too. Wow. Oh, no, that."

"... Amro doesn't have to come, does he? Don't push me."

"Mmm. But I was wondering if I'd stick with you."

"Why?"

"Speaking of which, do you care?

He's a light kid.

But it's easy to talk to, and the squeaky legs are cute.

We, or Majory, left the North Gate and headed northwest. I could probably see a damlaw in an hour or so.

It's almost sunset already and it's a lot darker. The ruins were creepy.

If we get too close, it's dangerous. We were first sniped with arrows by a species called Goblin who lived in Damrow. Then another goblin beat down Musashi and made it bumpy.

I think Majory stopped his leg more than where we were that day, maybe, fifty meters ahead of him.

"... there he is... huhuhuhuhu..."

We breathed.

I see a moving figure at the ruins. It's not goblin. I can tell from the back-to-back. That's human.

Majory accidentally turned to Johann.

"You... lure those zombies this far"

"Why would I have to do that?

"If you don't want to, fine..."

"You didn't tell me nobody was gonna do it."

Johan spit, pepper. Something like this...?

"Johan."

When I spoke, Johann lowered his face, chipped, and pounded his tongue.

"Don't call me by that name. I'm Harold now."

"... Haruru?

"That's right. Harold Glenford. That's my name."

I don't know, Johann... but Harold got so close to the ruins.

"What's wrong, that guy?

I asked Hisaiah. Hisaya shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know. That's not what I found out. I magically cured him where he was dying in the sky. Ever since, yeah."

"Heh..."

While I was hammering, I thought Hisaya had changed. He seemed like a better, more like this before. My attitude is throwing now, and the pattern is bad.

It hasn't been that long, but people change.

What about me? I don't know.

But Majory hasn't changed, and I feel like he's never gonna change.

Keita, for God's sake, Johann. For God's sake, Harold has come a long way to the shadows.

And, a shadow turned his body toward Harold. Getting closer to Harold. Then, a little further away, another shadow arose.

"Whoa......!

Harold screamed and turned right. I'll run back over here.

"Duh, what are you going to do!?"

Hisaya has a nappy back.

I was strangely calm. I'm sure it's because Majory's next door.

"... respond... huff..."

When Majory said, Hisaya yelled.

"No kidding! Why, no."

"Also... running away...?

"Run..."

"That's good too... I hope so..."

"Damn it! What the hell, you witch...!

Hisaya set up a short staff.

Zombies coming after Harold... yes, that's zombies, because they're rotten... but they're wearing cleric clothes. I can see that. And the fact that you wear glasses. I also have a short staff.

"... hinoto"

Hisaya rattled her throat very much.

"Ugh......!

Harold suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed it into a hinotzombie without turning around. Hinotzombie took the sword on short staff, but it felt like barely.

Hisaya was also attacked by Hinotzombies.

The zombies coming from behind the hinoto zombies are a lot worse. Looks like he died pretty badly, he's got a weird posture, and he walks weird. But I have a sword.

"Musashi."

I shrugged and held my mouth with my hand. Disgusting.

Musasizombies eventually joined the fight, two to two.

"You too......!

Harold looked at me for a moment and screamed, but Majory wouldn't let it be slight. If Majory doesn't move, so do I.

Amro ran away,

"Yah!

and gave Musasizombies a blow. Now it's three to two.

Musasizombies were the first to be defeated. Musasizombie stopped moving when Harold stepped on his head where Hisaya beat him down with a short staff.

In a three-on-one situation, Harold, Hisaya and Amro gradually caught up with Hinotzombies. Amro slashed and skipped Hinotzombie short staff and Hisaya put a foot payment on Hinotzombie. Harold aimed his head with a sword where he fell. When he was cracked in the head, Hinotzombie stopped moving.

Majory was even watching the battle.

Hisaya and Harold sat down on the spot. Amro overlooks Musasizombies and Hinotzombies.

Majory applauded.

"... you're doing great. Not for you guys. That was hilarious... huhuhuhuhuhu..."

"I'm kidding...!

Harold tried to stand up, and he stopped.

"... what are you going to do?"

Amro stares at Majory.

"Totally."

Hisaya was breathing on her shoulders.

"Like this, what's it gonna be?"

"Then..."

Majory, uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,

"What are you going to be alive...? What are you living for...? What's the point of you guys living...? If I didn't do this, did it make any sense...? What's the point of being lost for doing this...? Is there something...?

Neither Harold nor Hisaya, nor Amro, will answer. I guess I can't answer that.

Me, too, if they ask me the same thing, I don't know how to answer.

I don't have anything for us.

It's just alive.

Wake up in this grimgal, just alive.

I put my hand on Majory's shoulder and let him hold me. Majory did not defy. I noticed Majory's body trembling in small pieces. I wanted to kiss Majory, but I put up with her because she had eyes.

"Next time."

Amro chuckled.

"Why don't you even go to the woods? I don't know, I feel like the spider's alive. Why don't you look? Zombies like Mushrooms and Michios, maybe."

"Like."

And I answered instead of Majory. Marjorie felt like she was laughing.

"Let's go. Hisaya and... What's Keita gonna do?

"... if you feel like it"

and Hisaya answered.

Not Harold. Keita didn't respond. Nodding, bumping and whining about something.

I couldn't stand it, and I put my lips on Majory's cheek. The meaty thin smooth cheeks were warm. I, we lived.
