Yuusha Densetsu no Uragawa de Ore wa Eiyuu Densetsu o Tsukurimasu: Oudou Goroshi no Eiyuutan

"I showed you something ugly...."

Mayuri's face turned bright red and shrunk as if she was sorry. The owner of our clinic, Professor Cunei, didn't look like he cared and made us tea.

"I didn't expect the brave man to come to the doctor's office in such a despicable town again."

"I didn't expect to see you again in this way ─ ─"

I agree with Dr. Cunei.

This is not our first meeting. [M] I've known him before.

Yukina was badly injured and brought into the clinic during the Urban Beast Run (Stampede). And it was Dr. Cunei in front of me who treated him. [M]

I was really surprised when the castle people asked me about Dr. Cunei's name. At first, I thought, "No way," but I had no choice but to be sure by the time I got to the clinic.

Mayuli, who had recovered from this in front of the clinic, coughed up to deceive the embarrassment and then turned to Dr. Cunei.

"I'm very sorry for this sudden visit."

"No problem. This time of year is free unless it's an emergency."

Looks like Mayuri's investigation was right. I think I can calm down a bit with this.

"So, what can I do for you today? It doesn't seem to be the purpose of the examination."

"It'll be another opportunity. If you know the brave, you don't have to have a long preconception."

Mayuri told Dr. Kenai about the status of our gathering.

Recovery personnel are needed as part of the journey. Problems arise in the church. And the white feather arrow stood at Professor Cunei. I explained everything without covering it up.

"You might be surprised by a sudden offer. But could you please join us? Of course, I'm not forcing it."

"... of course, there are doctors in town other than me, and it won't be much of a problem if I'm left alone."

Although Professor Cunei was surprised at the beginning, he listened calmly to Mayuri's words afterwards and nodded as if there was a point at the end.

"But wherever I go, I'm a doctor in town. Not really, but I don't think our brave travelers have the skills they deserve."

It was a humble word from Professor Cunei, but I thought differently.

"... after I brought Yukina into this clinic, I talked to the soldiers who were examining him at the time."

I'm not an expert, but I'm still tasked with working as a healer in times of war. The soldier actually saw how miserable Yukina was.

The soldiers at that time saw Yukina's symptoms and affirmed it.

─ ─ Yukina must almost certainly not be saved.

Whether you're a court wizard or not, you can stretch yourself to death in two nights at most.

"But Dr. Cunei succeeded."

As a result, Yukina remains a mercenary. It's recovering to the same condition as before. As a doctor, I have no doubt about Dr. Cunei's skill.

"That's just... the result of all sorts of coincidences."

"But I have no doubt that you are a good doctor."

At least at that time, I felt that she was determined to stop Yukina's life from doing anything, not feeling sad from abandoning herself. And I actually did it. Professor Cunei talks about coincidence, but it is no doubt her own skill that attracted the coincidence.

"Please. We need a lot of company right now."

Can you help me crush the Devil King?

Mayuri and I all bowed our heads to Professor Kenai.

I can't force you to. But if Professor Cunei had joined us as a healer, we wouldn't be so comfortable.

………………

Mr Cunei keeps silent to reflect for a while.

And then...

"I'm sorry, but I will decline."

What was told by her mouth was a word of rejection.

Hearing that voice, I am disappointed. But at the same time, I felt a strange sense of pre-vision.

Dr. Cunei's words today included a firm will. I have heard the strength of the word. [M] Very recently.

I accidentally put my hand on my mouth. [M] I was desperate to dig up the catch that was born in my head. I don't know what scratches me so hard. [M]

"This assignment is a great honor. That's what makes it so famous for future generations. You should be able to take the utmost care of your country when you do. That's what makes this clinic bigger."

Mayuri calmly explains the advantages of being one of the brave. In fact, the veteran mercenaries who had become my companions were also told a similar story and undertook to become my companions.

"Unfortunately, human beings don't move just by honor. Suppose you take it comfortably at first, it won't last long. Mayuri's story is vulgar, but the judgment is correct... Master, what's wrong?

Even though Rayva's affirmation was in my ear, it passed from the middle right to the left. It was more than that to explore my memory.

"I understand what you're saying. It was a very attractive suggestion. But I still refuse."

"... may I ask why?

At the moment, did you decide that you could not persuade her any further? Mayuri said with a mixed voice of giving up.

Teacher Cunei laid his hand on his chest and smiled gently.

"I have a loved one who has accepted all of me. I can't leave him."

The moment I saw the smile, I remembered it.

─ ─ The same face as Mikage-san.

At that time, the clinic door was opened. Together, we turned our gaze to the open door.

"I just got back, huh?

"I just left....?

Two of them came in. Both were the faces I knew.

One of them is a fox beast shaking his silver hair. A second-class mercenary, Mikage.

And the other 'he' tilted his neck when he saw my face.

"Why are you here, relix?"

"... Yukina"

It was an unintended reunion.

In contrast to Yukina, who had a fundamentally strange face, my chest tingled small. [M]
