"... let me go... for now"

"Ah... oh, excuse me!

Shamefully blushing her cheeks, Silver Flash walked away from my body.

─ ─ I wonder where the sharp atmosphere reminiscent of that blade went.

She is now ashamed of her actions and feels down. There are no shadows to see when we first met or when we met in the woods. It's just a cute creature.

"Well... go ahead."

I took the hand that Silver Flash pointed at, and I got up. The hand she held had the strength of a swordsman, but also the fineness and softness of a woman.

"I'm sorry. When I saw the hero's face, I forgot so much about my gratitude and followed."

"Ah, why don't we get out of here for a while?

…… What's the matter with you?

No, I've been gathering a lot of attention.

Silver flashes stand out. It doesn't mean "flashy", but attracts attention regardless of how well you look.

Fox ears and tails and sparkling silver hair in the country's rare designs. And her own beauty, which attracts the attention of both men and women, pushes the clothes that even aspire to homosexuality tightly and too fruitfully.

In addition, as a mercenary, he had an amazing atmosphere that was difficult to approach. She really likes the word "lonely".

If that's a joyful smile and you hug somebody, it'll catch my attention.

Well, I don't think that's all.

Gram murmured, but I didn't have time for that.

"I look like this, and it's nothing unusual."

No, I'm the one ─ ─

"Besides, there's something I wanted to tell you next time I see the Hero!

"─ ─ Never mind... let's listen to people until the end."

I'm not used to getting eyes on people. A mob that blends into the background of the field (...) is enough.

I don't want to be a mob.

It's embarrassing... hmm?

"Who's the hero I've been talking about?

"Of course, I'm talking about you!

... speaking of which, you shouted at me on the verge of hugging me.

"Hero. Actually, I have a favor to ask you."

"What happens to that 'hero'? I'm so embarrassed that I don't deserve it."

I ignored my plea, and Silver Flash somehow removed the sheath from my waist, poking my left knee in front of me, and placed the sheath on the ground.

Ah, that's me.

Which one? And before I ask.

"I want you to put me under your command!!

Silver Flash lowered his head to me when he shouted softly at the mercenary union where many people gathered.

The people around me who were watching the sight, as well as the people who were close to the silver flash, had lost their words and their eyes.

"……………………………………………………………………?

Three seconds before the scene became noisy, it was all I could do to squeeze out words close to moaning from my throat.

We escaped the mercenary union disturbed by Silver Flash's remarks... or we entered a coffee shop away from the union building.

"So, uh... what should I call you?

"Call me Mikage, Hero."

Okay, Mikage-san.

"'Mr' and so on... Mikage, please abandon me."

"Copy that, Mikage. Don't call me a hero, call me Yukina."

"Yes, Yukina."

"Um..." If you can attach it, I'd like you to stop it. "

I don't like it.

"I don't want to be answered right away....."

He answered without putting in his hair.

This Mikage woman, her waist was polite and her attitude was considerably softer, but she might be a stubborn man with money.

Martial arts are just stubborn people. My partner's predictions are probably right. "

I got a note from Gram that I'm not happy with at all.

It would be a waste of time asking questions about how to call me like this. I had no choice but to cut to the chase.

Well, that's what the union said.

When I cut it out, the silver flash ─ ─ Mikage looked at my face and looked at me seriously.

"I want you to put me under Yukina-sama's command."

It doesn't seem like a kind of lie or joke. I knew it wasn't a joke if I skipped her words and actions.

"... no, why? I still know you're talking about me working for a second-class mercenary named Mikage, but the opposite is obviously strange."

"Mercenary ranks, after all, are just what others have chosen to rank."

It seems that you are taking it for granted. It's the right theory to say it's right, but it's really unacceptable.

"Perhaps thanks to the help of the Covolt King?

In that case, it's too much to repay.

"As far as I'm concerned, it would suffice for me to honestly report to the union the Cobolt King's crusade."

"... it's just a matter of time."

Mikage shook his neck sideways.

"Of course, I feel grateful for your help. But more than that, I saw it on your back."

"... what are you doing?"

"The Hero of the Future."

I see, is that why you call me "Hero" ─ ─?

"Hey, you overestimate it. I'm a peasant from the countryside, and I'm a mercenary now. I don't really think it's going to be that big."

I shrugged my shoulders after saying it stunned me. The content contained self-ridicule, as well as convenience for giving up.

"Really?

Mikage sharpened his gaze with a smile against our intentions.

"If it was really just a mercenary (...), you were running away from me without helping me. Then I'm not in front of you right now."

"Argh... I'm just lucky."

I jumped out with the momentum, but if I made a mistake, Mikage wasn't the only one, I was killed by the Kobolt King, too.

It is no other luck that various factors miraculously overlapped and came back alive.

"Maybe he was just lucky."

Mikage acknowledges my words, but keeps going.

"But it was definitely you who grabbed it. Isn't it?

"That's...."

I reflexively dropped my gaze on the mole on the back of my left hand.

─ ─ The Chosen One! Become a Hero!

When I was about to be killed by the Covolt King, I remembered the new Gram screaming before me.

I haven't asked Gram what it was. I don't think you'll answer me when I hear it.

All I know is that this would not have happened if I hadn't held that old spear at the weapon store.

That's good, buddy.

I was thinking about Gram, and that person ─ ─? ─ ─ talked in my head.

No matter how many words I repeat, this fox won't listen to my daughter.

But it's just like this... isn't it too heavy? Moreover, the opponent is superior in character and his appearance is jumping through. Making young people in the village children is a different dimension.

In that case, let's compromise by saying 'trial period'.

Try it?

Perhaps this fox's daughter is just raising a temporary "heat" due to the impact of the rescue. So you can act with your partner for a while and ask for your judgment again when the heat gets cold. "

Well, that might be good.

I nod slightly to Gram and then turn back to Mikage.

"Okay."

"Really!?

However!

It was a blinding lizard, but I managed to keep her out of the table.

... the downward mountain on Mikage's chest is incredible. The top of the mountain is going to stick to the table.

I almost said "good" without thinking about anything, but I remembered Kunai's face and wiped it away in a hurry. The face of a woman with red hair also appeared, and she shook her head even further.

I cough up to get my mind back. [M]

"To tell you the truth, I don't deserve it. But I also realized that Mikage's feelings aren't light enough to give up just my words. So let's start with" Equal Companions. "

"I see. I mean, from a friend."

"I think it's a subtle difference, but for now,"

I don't know each other very well, so I get confused. It would not be wrong to say "from a friend" as the trial period.

"... that's right. Certainly, if you want me to be under your command, first you need to know me deeply. I'm very sorry. It's my bad habit to rush things."

"Um, it's a friend period to decide whether or not to be under it, right?

"I know. Yeah."

I wanted to put in a clip, but I closed my mouth because it would be more complicated if I pinched the extra mouth here.

Thus, for a limited time, the Silver Flash Lizard has become a companion ─ ─ It will be written in future books.

I breathed a small sigh into Gram's incredible brain weather.
