Yuusha Isagi no Maou Hanashi

10-5 The Day You Decide to Fight Yourself,

"Yes, they finally dropped me to the last magic fortress..."

"Yep..."

Not that I had any particular errands, just that if I had a grasp of the structure of the castle where I live, Isagi would have stumbled upon the sight for the benevolent reason that it would be easy to put on a calculator to escape even when this place was attacked.

The cathedral on the outskirts of the castle was reached without anyone being blamed.

There was no longer a god to pray for, Preah and one knight were talking under the statue of a goddess standing in a vast space of cancer.

They haven't noticed the sharks.

"This leaves Dinas City naked, so..."

"… so as soon as possible"

"Yeah, I know"

They were talking in with a serious face.

The knight wears the crest of the Yang Saint Knights. Yang Saint Knights seems to be the strongest Knights to defend this Dinas City. Being a member of it made it possible to perceive that it was quite skillful.

I guess it's different in character from an old knight or something like that you're dealing with.

I wasn't willing to stick my neck in, but the rabbit accidentally stopped my leg.

He may have fallen in love with the figure of the resolute Preah speaking one-on-one with a man like the mighty man of the war.

That's where Isagi first realizes.

It's supposed to be a whisper in the distance, but it sounds a lot clearer.

Isagi knew nothing about the strengthening of the five senses by magic.

Or maybe that was an unconscious demonstration of defensive ability, stimulated by the continued beating of survival instincts.

Is that one of those things where the night has always been bright?

Maybe if you work out, you can sense enemies like sensors.... Well, now it's capable to the point of being useful for eavesdropping.

The two of you will finish the conversation immediately. "Ah," she lifted her face to the fence as she leaned down and advanced her legs this way. Have you finally noticed?

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but there's a lot of detours in Preah. While you're asleep, let yourself step in time.

She laughed at Hatsuratsu to deceive something like that and raised one hand.

"Hey boy! I don't know how you're doing today!

……

The payback for it was the cold gaze of the rabbit.

A man from the Yang Saint Knights goes past the side as he bows his head.

Staring at each other silently, often.

"... uh"

……

"... was that something different?

"You have a different character."

Isagi pointed out quietly to Preah, who tilted his neck and laughed awkwardly.

Brave Isagi's Demon King Tan, Past Edition, Bottom

"Episode 10-5 The Day You Decide To Fight Yourself,"

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Preah was lonely.

I was unfamiliar with no one in the royal castle and was always alone.

He disappears by day, and at night he comes in front of the rabbit's room, and sleeps all night - though he seems to sleep sometimes.

Isagi still continued to pretend not to notice such Preah's actions.

Neither Preah, who can speak to the knight to touch the swelling, nor Preah, who behaves like his sister to the younger of the night, could understand.

I don't know what I'm good at, but I can't imitate what I'm used to.

Isagi decides to assume that Preha is only monitoring herself with her office life.

Whatever the truth is, it fits the most.

Only when I realized that Isagi was starting to think about Preah all the time.

I don't know what else to do because the person he approached properly in this Alvaris would be about her.

The preha, which accompanies the evening walk, has a strange atmosphere that is as stiff as ever and core.

Her casual attitude, backhanded and shaking her body, was reminiscent of a noble cat.

"When are you going to escape?

"... we're almost there"

"Hmm?"

In the garden, a beautiful blonde girl grinning slightly.

Is it the paranoia of the rabbit that makes me feel like I'm being teased?

Her attitude has become even more comfortable since one of the blanketed nights.

Ten people called themselves into this world, but I don't feel bad when they laugh at me like that.

I'm not in a bad mood, but it's a big problem.

Isagi had heard the word Stockholm syndrome.

By acting with the kidnapper, the victim deceives himself and refers to a state in which he becomes particularly fond of the kidnapper.

This is based on survival instincts, because the brain performs self-deceptive psychological manipulation.

So it's a symptom that could happen to anyone.

If you do put your shoulders in Preah and the royals and go ahead and listen to what they have to say, the psychological state of the shark could be a little better.

You won't even be able to enjoy this situation, but if you are a 'brave man' yourself, you will be able to immerse yourself in the atmosphere.

But Isagi could not fool herself.

Whatever you think of this situation, it's kidnapping, and it's impossible for Isagi to live under its mastermind and executor.

I can no longer live without suspicion, being hesitated between relatives who began to treat the rabbits one after the other as troubled as soon as their parents died.

How easy it would be if you believed in your talents wholeheartedly and made up your mind to save Alvaris that way.

If I could hear that word about what the preha sitting next to me was thinking, would it make me feel lighter?

I knew I was being mean.

But I don't know why, why, or what you're up to.

Isagi didn't know herself.

The wind blows between them on a dry night.

Isagi cheeks as she looks sideways at Preha looking up at the night sky holding her hair down and narrowing her eyes.

"... you really think I'm a brave man?

To that word, which he asked repeatedly, Preah still puts his hand on his chest with a confident face.

"Are you suspicious of my subpoena?

Crush without speaking up. Naturally. Because it's me.

Preah, who saw that face, also frowns in dissatisfaction.

"I don't know, you were chosen, right?

There were no more qualified people on our terms than you.

Wouldn't it be helpful to bite on the big premise?

"You're being selfish."

Try to spit it out, as always, and the sharks don't fit in.

Preah snapped with a voice that seemed confused by the sound of the wind.

"I know that."

Getting closer means opening your mind.

Even if that was just a few moments, Preah looked grumpy. For the first time, it was the raw emotion of Preah.

I hope so much, and a glimpse of that expression of greed doesn't bring any emotion to Isagi's heart right now.

Maybe even that attitude of dissatisfaction was because he looked like a saint challenging power with righteousness.

Is everything beautiful? It's against the rules.

The rabbit throws up like mud.

"But it wasn't my choice."

In the end, that's it.

Isagi can't be more convinced by other people's words than he wants to be in the present situation.

The only thing that settles my mind is my will.

The position of the rabbit remains unchanged forever more than not trying to do it.

So I'm sure her words, too, won't reach Isagi.

"... I'm not even here to choose, am I?

The identity of the emotions that floated in Preah's eyes, which glowed faintly more than the moonlight, was still unknown to Isagi.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"It's the Divine Sword Klausorus."

He was offered the sword that the men of the Yang Saint Knights had brought out, and Isagi roughly received it.

As always, light as a feather. But if I pulled it out, an exquisite center of gravity was born in the sword, and I had no difficulty swinging it.

On this day, Preah did not show up at the training ground. Instead, the formidable knight he saw one day emerged with a divine sword as the rabbit's leader.

Probably expecting a breakthrough around here because there is too little progress in training the rabbits.

The figure of a rabbit with a shining sword in his hands on silver was, well, quite something to be seen.

"How splendid..." said the old knight, who had accompanied me in his training, and his touching, less moist eyes. It's not bad people.

"... rip everything apart, hey"

Although I was very reluctant to point such things at people.

Either way, I've never had a rabbit sword hit an old knight before. I've already given up.

Then I don't mind. Isagi will see as usual. I took the stand with my appearance.

"Oh, brave man, put up a divine sword..."

"Exactly as the legend says..."

Swollen. My cheeks get hot.

How strong a weapon you had, there's no point in not hitting it.

"Okay, I'm just gonna go."

It's just the beginning of time to get hit and rolled.

I'm somewhat used to the pain. Thoughts have improved, perhaps because they are overcoming fear.

Or is it because we have a goal?

The goal is to beat this old knight and give him back his preah.

"Rah!"

Live on your own to compensate for your skill, distract your fears. Isagi stepped out big.

I notice immediately. Something is different than usual.

Whether it is the lightness of the gain or the temper of the relative old knight, it is not the only one.

Isagi waves the crow solus to the horizontal giraffe. The sword easily cuts off the old knight's wooden sword, which took a vertical stand.

Aya nearly snapped his neck, and Isagi hastily stopped the blade. Slight blood drizzled his neck like an old man's dead tree.

It was the first time.

The old knight went around to take it, the attack on the rabbit hit him, and the fact that he was about to kill people.

And

"Excellent, brave man."

I also came to this world and got compliments from someone.

The old knight on his knees raised his face and laughed.

In the end...

The only time I surpassed the old knight was that first time.

I just get beat up as usual, even as I wield the crow solus.

Isagi wondered what a costume was for a horse.

But Isagi remembers that one-time response over and over again.

For the first time, I was able to yield someone and boast of my own power, that blow to the synagogue.

Envy and awe. The gaze at which they intersect was irresistibly comforting, and Isagi remembered the kind of cheer she'd never tasted before.

It was delicious enough to think that if you were truly a brave man and could continue to indulge in this flavor as long as you waved your sword.

The response felt by the rabbits, who had been abused all along and had traveled around the land, satisfied the second-year boys' desire for approval more than ever before.

It is a vivid, raw experience that illuminates me that I have become exactly the hero in the story.

If I felt that way, I wouldn't have had that old knight's life by now.

This is funny because I was about to kill people.

Only slightly, but 'rewarded,' Isagi thought.

There is no Divine Sword Klausorus in the hands of Isagi, who returns to his chamber immersed in the aftermath of victory. It seems to be under strict control and confiscated by that knight.

But the heart of Isagi, who rewarded him with one arrow, was clear.

Isagi boasted of his power.

So I don't need to stay in this castle any longer and continue my crap training.

Isagi finally made up his mind to get out of the castle.

I don't know where to go, but I'll figure it out.

In a foothold that seemed to float in exhilaration, Isagi decided to change her destination and look for Preah.

This is the last time, so let's at least give it a shout.

If you can, persuade me.

Nothing, tell me it won't be enough to die.

So if it's all right, you wouldn't mind getting out with me.

I don't know if Isagi was able to find her because of that outstanding five senses, or if it was just a coincidence.

In the diocese I had seen before, there was Preah.

In front of a beautiful blonde girl stands a skinny aristocratic man.

In a calm atmosphere, no.

I wonder what the hell it is.

Peeping inside from the shadow of the pillar, Isagi was surprised.

Because there was also a miserable appearance of a soldier without one arm there.

On his knees, he lays face down, in a shape that is about to die now.

Preah, noble and armored soldiers. To the odd combination, Isagi lurked his breath.

The motive is simple curiosity. The look of Preah biting her lips was different from any she had ever seen and fresh.

So hiding in the shadows was a shallow feeling to think that if you could see another new side of Preah.

With some noise made at this distance, it's impossible for the Preah's to notice themselves.

Her sensing range, being a magician, seems almost no different from that of a regular person.

In what words and by what noble means will Preah make it through this place?

I think Isagi wants me to look petite, like I'm going to keep that pleasure knife messy.

- But.

Isagi will never forget what he saw here on this day.

I exchanged words with Preah over the course of a few days and have been dealing with her without knowing her true nature.

In the rabbit, I've stacked an image of a girl named Preah.

Don't lie, be noble, be noble, be gorgeous. It's so solid that I don't think it's younger, I can't waver at anything.

Its appearance is as beautiful as a moon shining in the darkness as it is.

A magical user with nothing to stand alongside in Alvaris. The name of the Great Mage (Wizard).

That's Preah.

That was supposed to be Preah.

And now the rabbit, which was recalled to this world, shall know.

Until now, so far, why, I've stuck around myself, one end of that thought of hers.

The story of Isagi begins here.

Along with Preah.

Isagi will walk out.

Along with Preah.

Isagi will resist his weakness.

- Everything, along with Preah.

I didn't know how the conversation was going, but when Isagi peeked, Preah was badly blamed.

If I had had had a little more intimate relationship with Preah, I might have left the field because I couldn't resist.

But Isagi wanted to know a little more about Preah than that, so he had no hesitation whatsoever in witnessing this continuation.

The aristocratic man speaks up.

"You're saying that because you're a waste of yourself!

"... no"

The man scolds the squeezing girl's voice, headless.

"Send the brave men to the West City now!

If we don't stop the demon army there, this Dinas City will perish!

"I still can't do that..."

"Shut up!"

There was a flat-handed sound.

It was as if a single shooting had taken place without a trace, and the rabbit accidentally gave himself up.

Preah's body swings easily.

She's only a small, twelve-year-old girl.

But rather, Preah looks up to the aristocratic man with cold eyes.

The man who raised his hand was more likely to fall apart now.

"While you guys are guzzling here, the territory is ravaged...!

The soldiers, the people, my friends...! You tell the Demons to shut up about it!

The noble word was a voice with tears.

It was a sorrow, a cry of a soul that was so bitter and seemingly torn that it could not be held by another.

"Something powerful, without wielding its power! Stuck in a king's capital like this!

So what the hell is a brave man! What's the Great Mage!

Don't be ridiculous! There are dead people out there while you're doing this!

Look at this man! You let me go this far, my soldier!

"... eh"

Preah held his fist and was leaning down. Covered in golden forehead, I can't see her expression.

Preah, who was shot through by an arrow of truth, did not utter a word.

"To lose one arm and still run the carriage and let you know the crisis, get me this far......!

We are wives, sons, abandoned, so far......!

Isagi saw careless tears flowing from the tightly closed eyes of a kneeling soldier.

It was an unusual sight.

"If you're out front! Nobody, without dying, could have done it......!

Without saving the person in front of you, what, what, brave!

Preah is a great magician. Probably the best user in this country.

So I thought Isagi would be able to do anything.

A big adult leads to two people, leads to the girl.

Even then, when it was the fate of something powerful, Isagi thought so until this time.

I was there.

"... excuse me"

Preah bowed his head, without a single plea.

He was raising a white flag, as if to fully acknowledge the man's words.

I didn't tell them anything about the situation, and I was taking their carelessness.

That preha.

But Preah's attitude set the man's anger on fire.

"You apologize and your lost life will come back!?

So the life you were supposed to save will be rewarded!

Do your duty more than apologize! Come and defend the city now!

……

What an unsolicited nobleman to say, Isagi could not turn away.

He is a man who could not defend his territory.

A weak man who couldn't help his people.

That's why I'm clinging to a strong preha.

Because Preah would be able to.

What will Preah say to him?

Do you push him away resolutely, as usual, and flirt with refreshment?

I wanted to see it. Such a strong preha.

Do what you can't, preh what you can.

But...

Before a man who devoured his teeth to break and mourned to the point of losing his sanity, Preah sat down on the ground and quietly bowed his head.

It was an attitude of apology, very close to what Isagi knew as a dungeon.

That Preah rubs his forehead on the floor, and he's grateful.

I don't mind her beautiful golden hair getting dirty, and Isagi was badly shocked that she took such an attitude.

"... I'm so, so sorry"

Isagi is astonished.

Why would you do that?

Why don't I just say it?

To protect this Dinas City, the last fortress of the people, there is a Preah.

If this place is dropped, the world will perish, so...

That's why I'm here.

I wish I could just throw it away.

Preah did not.

I just looked straight into his eyes, trembling, waving my head.

That preha.

But, or still, the man's thoughts didn't subside with a flat apology or anything.

"A brave man must have come...!

I hear he's just a kid, but he called in using his wife's, the Great Demon Crystal, it must be real...!

If you and I come to our territory, or even now, we will be demons...!

Isagi felt pain in her chest and made her face pull.

Yes, his thoughtlessness is not human resources.

I came to save this world.

Preah, who bites his lips, stayed on both knees on the floor, where he showed his will for the first time.

"I can't do that"

The word naturally makes a man exasperate.

The man left himself to anger, kicking the side of Preah with his shoe toe.

"You!"

"... eh... he's not strong enough to be on the front line with me yet"

My lips are cut off and I get scratches on the positive face of Preah.

But Preah's attitude doesn't change a thing.

"... what! Brave, isn't it!?

"Yeah. But he's still growing.

At least another month...... no, a week, if you don't wait "

"A week! With that, my territory will be ashes!

With what barely survived, we're all gonna be burned down!

"...... but impossible.

If you can't wait another week, it doesn't make sense.

Sorry...... sorry "

Preah to bow his head over and over again, as if it were a dugout.

What the hell is this?

I wonder why she's doing that.

Isagi felt as if she was looking over the glass at that spectacular sight played out in the room.

'Cause didn't she say?

If you want to run, you can run.

If you do, then so be it.

She was laughing, floating, before she was in the rabbit.

"So when are you getting out of here? I don't know.

In that way, the nobles blame me, spicy from the bottom of my heart, repentant, distorted my face.

Still, I would not have been the girl to face seriously, not run away, and caring for people's lives.

Isn't it more, free, graceful and honest to live?

"As I have said many times, is.

My magic, my magic, is incomparable, but I can't buy that time alone.

As soon as it lasts in a row, it causes magic depletion, leaving only one resistance, and this country will perish.

I'm dying of dogs. So, for that matter, I'm a brave man. I need him. "

"Then you should brainwash it immediately and send it straight to the front!

……

"Hey, what the fuck! Those eyes!

I don't care what happens to the people of this country!

Preah runs his mouth small as he crawls his zoggy eyes to the floor.

"... but you're such a coward."

"What!?

"If that's what you want, you shouldn't have just ordered it from the beginning.

Summon a puppet who can manipulate an unwilling sword.

If you'd told me, I would have obeyed you. "

For being heard and intimidated, Preah's words did not stop.

"I'm the one entrusted with the educator.

I don't remember being told to build stone fighters (golems) to fight.

If he is truly a "brave man," he will save us.

I am, what I believe. "

How can you say that to yourself from other worlds?

Isagi breaks that it is a prey to Preah.

Even now, I'm only thinking about escaping.

――

No longer did he also lose the taga of reason, he looked up at the nobility who merely cursed Preah in front of a nagging soldier, while Preah wept in his jewel-like eyes.

Rin, just Rin, put your hands on your chest with your knees on, and tell.

"There are three conditions I wanted for him to 'summon'.

I'll never cover that. Everyone entrusted their wishes to my subpoena.

Then I'll put my life in his hands.

It was picked up by the King and survived to this day, the will of this' Great Mage 'Preah.

I never once doubted that he was a true brave man!

Why.

Can you say all that much?

How can you believe a coward boy hiding in the shadows of such a thing?

Isagi recalls the words of Preah.

"Today, I will see you fight properly.

Because it was a double-skilled subpoena for "Divine Swordsman" and "Enormous Magic Power."

I don't think it's that low. '

That's what she said. Then there must be two conditions.

You said there wasn't, like, a reason why a rabbit is a rabbit.

Were you lying again, or just not telling the truth?

How could that be...

"... what the hell is that? That, on condition.

If there is a condition to be a brave man... "

The ever silent soldier asked in a fearful voice.

He's also a man who couldn't be a brave man.

Preah opens his mouth to those words like seeking salvation.

Like lurking your voice and revealing your secrets.

But even then, the sharpened hearing of the rabbit picked up.

"Where we could have used such a great weapon, and how powerful the magic was in our possession, without it, we would only be 'heroes' who would make a name for themselves in history.

He is the only thing he needs to be, to be a brave man... "

"So what is it!

Nobles screaming as if they reflected the voice of the heart of Isagi.

In the palm of a rabbit hung by the wall, the sweat drizzles.

If there really is such a thing.

What the hell did Preah call himself into this world because of what he wanted and wanted from himself?

That's what I can finally hear.

If there is no burial in a hundred, but the only absolute reason for it, called here because the rabbit is a rabbit.

If it's true, if it's powerful.

I wouldn't have hurt you so much, I would have done it.

Whether for a reason or not, Isagi held her breath, even though she was frustrated by what she couldn't intentionally teach.

My mouth dries to nervousness.

As if waiting for a confession reply, Isagi cleared her ears.

And it's...

"Courage."

Isagi doubted his ears at Preah's words, which told him the ceramics in a tone like he had played with his fingers.

Stupid.

What the hell are you talking about?

"He was the only one who met the conditions I wanted, beyond so many multidimensions, ahead of hundreds of millions, trillions of possibilities - 'Isagi Asakura' was all that was possible"

What a boring joke.

Isagi felt like she was being heard rumors without roots or leaves.

There can't be any such thing.

"It took me a long time to finally find it.

And yet, there's no way you can do it, like it's brainwashing or an order.

He's a proud, strong man. "

No, it's not.

That can't be right.

Whose story are you talking about, Preah?

"I saw him in the other world through the power of the Great Demon Crystal.

He was defiled by his dead parents, angry and sad for them.

I mourned my helplessness, and if I had more power, I would always have taken reality and fought without distracting myself from the darkness of the world. "

No, it's not.

It's a casual interpretation.

If she was really observing a rabbit on Earth, it just sees and understands her superficial layers and I'm curious.

I am not such a big person.

What Preah is saying is off target.

"He will never abandon us.

Because he's brought to a world like this, and he can't even go home, and he's sure to fight for us.

I believe in him that he will stand up.

Because he's a noble man. "

Impossible.

I'm just a sophomore, cowardly, lowlife, lowlife man.

Hundreds of millions, trillions of choices, etc., are lies.

"His courage never abandons the weak. It is a light that will bring lasting peace to this world, defeating the Demons, beyond sorrow, suffering, hatred and malice.

To someone like that, there's no way you can say 'fight'.

Until the day he rises himself, we can only hope.

Save the world, that's all. "

Isagi asks, "Please don't do this anymore".

Where I was expected to do more, there's nothing I can do to make a rabbit.

I can't.

Isagi had already admitted defeat before reality.

But Preah's words are like falling snow, they don't stop.

That was a bland word, as if covering up the terrestrial scenery.

"So whoever else presses that pressure on him, I'm the only one to take responsibility.

I won't let him risk his life on his own.

If he decides to fight, I'll follow him everywhere.

Whatever, I will.

That's what I've decided since I was ordered to summon.

I am "The Great Mage", a valiant servant. That's why I was born. "

There was no longer a word in Isagi's heart.

Over and over again, Preah's voice slaps his own heart.

I was irritated by the pressure and learned to tinnitus.

The blood flow accelerates, and the rabbit holds his own face by his hand.

The lips of the nobleman were trembling.

Pressured by Preah's readiness, I still thought I had to say something, and a meaningless defense threw up out of his mouth.

"But if he's fake, and everything's your mistake...!

And when you fail to prevent the demons from invading, what are you going to do?

What, the hitter... "

"You can die."

'It's easy,' Preah said, in an easy-going tone as if to say hi.

Word of doom, with even a smile on her face, she speaks.

"We just have to destroy the human race.

If he sacrificed one of us, wound him up, and only we tried to live longer, and still couldn't, then we'd have to die.

If throwing up such a convenient thing couldn't help you, that's fine.

We can only do that, right? It's a natural reward.

I'm sure the goddess wants us dead. "

"Become...

You mean put the fate of the world and the lives of each other on the scale!?

To a nobleman who is no longer likely to fall on the spot, Preah is.

Naturally, I assured you.

"Yes, I am."

Again, the sound of a flat hand rang.

How long, would I have done that?

Isagi was crouching on the spot as he climbed against the wall.

I felt like I was going to scream out again.

What's the one word that makes sense, it doesn't come to mind.

For something called summoning found 'courage' in the rabbit.

There was not a single shard of that left in his mind right now.

Expectations and heavy pressures were just beating me down.

I hadn't noticed for a while that noble man and soldier might have left at some point.

Separate a single wall, Isagi and Preah.

The two nodded in the same way, holding their faces in the same way.

And, just like that, I'm crying.

With all the rough emotions in my chest.

One shuts up, and one opens his mouth.

……

It was the magic word she chanted when chanting the cure.

He's healing the wound he put on himself.

"... it hurts, already"

Preah's little little twinkle voice.

Tearful, weak, young, twelve-year-old, emotional exposure.

……

Sigh.

It was a renunciation, a lethargy, or self-infliction, and even included a connotation of contempt for oneself.

Isagi meditates on his eyes with a heart that is still going to explode.

A fist so gripped that his nails ate in, something was going to be lost as soon as he loosened his power.

"Well, I don't want to die."

I see her over my shoulder.

The girl, who broke her leg and sat alone in the cathedral, looked up at the stained glass that emitted a colorful light, grinning powerlessly.

"So, you can't run away.

I don't have the courage, but...

... If you run, it's harder. "

Preah whispers, like mocking your own weakness.

Even if all of them, without deception, are the heart of Preah.

It was the dark light that finally came to mind in the saturated rabbit's heart.

I thought Isagi.

For the sake of people who don't know their faces or their names, there is no way they can risk their lives.

Didn't Preah say 'life is important'?

What a brave man. What courage.

Naughty. Really.

Something like that.

Yet.

How can you be so.

Does my chest hurt?

How can you be so.

My whole body is hot.

Does your soul groan?

I can't stop the tears flowing.

Isagi eats up his teeth and gets up.

So.

Preah joins hands, kneels, prays and crushes before the statue of the goddess, as if the witch would do so.

- Brave man, save this world.

Now again, the boy listened to the wish of the girl who was told the first time we met.

- At that moment.

Emotions like magma were decimated, and Isagi ran out.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The training ground where the sun fell after the evening was dark and no one was present.

Isagi had a wooden sword in his hand in it, swinging in a groan.

――

A voiceless cry comes out the back of the nod.

A sweat blew out of my body, where my brain screamed at the limits of my strength, and I wasn't willing to stop.

Now more thoroughly than anything, I wanted to hurt myself.

The title of "The Brave" and so on.

Saving the world is perfect.

Suddenly they call me here.

I can't help but be angry at my selfish remarks.

Besides, they're after my life.

I'm not kidding. Nobody wants anything.

Spit out the cry of your heart as a roar, and Isagi waves his sword.

Really, that's a good annoyance.

"Ohhhhh!

At the end of the sword, there was himself.

Until yesterday, no, until just now, I'm laughing, or crying, being rolled down the ground, making an unnecessarily weak noise.

Isagi waved his sword so that he would hardly strike that phantom.

cowardly, brave, timid, dwarfed self,

Nothing she can do to be noble, talented, strong and beautiful.

That's what I thought.

Hard work, yes, I wanted to believe it.

I am powerless now.

Even for one knight, you can't win.

Remaining helpless is very comforting.

Someone protects me, yells at someone who protects me, and that's all I need.

It's like a crying baby.

All you have to do is scatter, like that nobleman who ate and hung on Preah.

You can do it like you were watching.

Like myself until yesterday, you just have to wield weakness.

He's badly dressed, he's unusual, and he can still live.

If life is the most important thing, then so be it.

That's the most, lazy, self-depraved, certain.

Oh.

- I'm not kidding.

"Damn it, damn it... damn it!

Isagi punches a wedge into his weakness.

Sweet to the strength of Preah and live by the twelve year old girl?

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be ridiculous.

How weak I am now.

I will never imitate that again.

Change.

Today, from here.

It changes.

Never again, I won't say, "There's no way I can do it".

I would never say "there's no way you can win".

I want to live up to expectations.

If she's going to believe me, she has to face it.

It's okay to be fake.

There's no such thing as' courage '. I don't mind.

To stop that girl from crying.

To make that girl laugh.

I don't run away.

Be strong.

Get dressed.

so that we can protect Preah.

To be the man she can count on.

Let no one blame that kid anymore.

Don't let anyone beat you up.

Not to be tainted by anyone, just so you can laugh.

Sincerely, so that you may rest in peace.

I don't care who else dies.

Just for her.

Just for that.

I'm sure that's why I came.

- Brave man, save this world.

If that's her heartfelt wish.

Isagi will try to make it happen today, from here on out.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

Isagi barks.

Under the moonlight that plunged through the window of the training ground, only the moon shined in the sky as one boy now turned into a brave man.

And six days later.

The story begins...

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The boy, dressed in a thick coat, frowns at the weight of the bag he carries.

The departure of the arrow tip, which had not yet taken its training fatigue, was a terrible rush.

"Not even one of the carriages."

"If you were walking down the main street, you'd soon find it and you'd be surrounded, wouldn't you?

"It's really not like you two are going or out of sanity......

Do you need all the contents of this backpack? He left it for a little while. "

"You're not gonna stick around anymore.

You don't know when or where your enemies are coming from, so don't let them down. "

"Yes, yes, I know. Good luck. I'll keep an eye on the perimeter."

"... I don't know, you've suddenly been honest lately, haven't you?

"I just decided to do what I could. Is that so disgusting?

"If you'll excuse me, I'm embarrassed."

"If you know what I mean, don't tell me."

On the boy's hips with the head of his nose was a silver sword.

With one napzak and one sword in his hand, the boy marks a spacious path.

The girl following behind it held a devil's crystal attached cane at the tip and raised her finger with her face.

"Well, let's head to the west city first.

Because it seems that those who barely survive there form a resistance under someone called the Mercenary King.

We have to go and help. "

"Aye."

The boy and the girl, who replied casually, proceed silently for a while.

We are both a little nervous about leaving Wang Capital and going to a land where we were never promised safety.

That's when the girl asked small questions.

"Hey, you."

"Mmm."

"You didn't run away, did you, after all?"

"You didn't run."

The boy remains flashy and unchanged.

That may or may not be best 'dressed', but the girl won't notice.

"Why?"

"That's your call, isn't it?"

The heartbeat in the boy's chest, which makes a true face, is not transmitted to the girl.

How determined he may have been to travel to the outside world.

So the boy probably won't talk about it for the rest of his life.

If a girl takes care of herself before a boy, never shows weakness, smiles at any time, and plays the strongest 'The Great Mage' who kills people without hesitation.

Because even the boy deserves to be told this.

"I'm a brave man.

There's no way you can abandon those who are suffering. "

He's the only one who knows what's in his chest wearing a brave man's mask and walking out.

Because that is his determination.

Staring at its serious side, he noticed the girl stopping like she was in love, and the boy stopped again.

Turning that way, slightly reddening his ears, the boy snaps at the bump.

"So let's go.

- Preah. "

To that name I told you for the first time.

She is surprised, her eyes are rounded, and she smiles immediately.

The blonde-haired maiden took his hand and answered, very gladly, like this.

"Yes, brave man!

And then 24 years later...

One man challenges the underground labyrinth Ratatosk.
