Meikyuu Toshi no Antique Shop

Hi, there.

He's lost his way, apparently.

Should I go this way?

Oh, can you show me around? I'm sorry.

...... yeah?

I think I met you somewhere.

Really? Do you resemble that guy I used to know?

He's a friend of mine, Marvel.

Interested in what kind of guy?

Shall we talk about that old story while walking?

Marvel and I were childhood friends.

I was born and raised in the same village, and there was another Anna and there were three of us, always playing.

It was because of the small number of children in the village, but there were horses and nature, and I was stuck with everything.

So when I said I was going to be a Seeker in the Labyrinth City, I followed it as a matter of course.

I didn't expect you to follow me to Anna, though.

But let Marvel say, "I didn't think you two would follow me."

Anyway, that's how close we were.

Exploration went pretty well.

Every time I dived in the dungeon, I enjoyed an experience I had never seen or heard of before.

Well, that was a lot of dangerous stuff, but it turned out well, and the harvest I had was satisfactory.

Besides, when I got back on the ground, I went back. Festival at the liquor store.

(Rookie) I don't know what to expect.

Every day was shining.

But one day, all of a sudden, it didn't.

As is often the case in this business, there are dead people.

It's a famous story, but when you take the stairs down the basement twelfth floor of the dungeon, the dungeon turns to hell.

As soon as it gets harder, monsters like monsters and traps like lightly dying come out everywhere.

Skilled (veterans) are not the kind of place where rushing out is supposed to go exploring in a backward danger zone.

But we were a little on track.

So we talked about going for a little peek that far.

It was Marvel, the leader, who mentioned it, and Anna wasn't in the mood to say it was too early.

It was up to me to make the decision.

My heart was in favor of Anna.

I thought it was too soon.

I wasn't ready for gear and items, I should have gathered more information if I was going to dive, and about the monks wanted to take me.

But I said, 'As good as going for a peek'.

... why?

Maybe it'll look good.

I didn't want Marvel to think I was a coward.

He had a scratch.

That guy was really awesome.

The roomy part doesn't come on the balls, but it also has strong arms.

The head also works. It's time to make up your mind. I'm good with people and can quickly crack it down with difficult senior seekers.

And I was braver than anyone.

Go resolutely to any difficulty.

It's big enough to look up, and I don't hesitate to slash and defeat the ferocity into a monster like the one I wrote on the picture.

I admired him.

Brave Marvel who grew up with the same age but lost one head.

My proud friend.

A special presence that is also at a glance from around.

But that's why I was jealous.

In my heart, I don't want to lose to him.

I want to be as active as him.

You don't have to cross Marvel one day to be a brave, strong warrior enough to fight alongside you with dignity.

That's what I thought.

Until then.

I got lost on the thirteenth basement floor, which was supposed to be just a quick peek.

I can't believe we're walking around without mapping because we don't have enemies. It's not a sanity shack right now.

I think what really went wrong.

All of a sudden, it was a bunch of black demon dogs that attacked me.

There were two or thirty of them.

When I realized it, I had a glitzy eye looking at me from all over the dark, surrounded.

Of course, we weren't the ones who could do anything about it.

It was Marvel that made the first move, after all.

I screamed 'We're getting away' as I pulled out my sword and ran out.

Me and Anna panicked and followed.

When I opened my breakthrough in a madness to death, I ran.

I ran and ran and even ran.

Relying solely on the lights of Cantera, we run through the darkness.

Along the way, he almost fell or hit his body against the stone wall, but when he heard a rough beast exhale on his back, he was desperate to increase his speed.

I thought it was the end of a roll when I imitated my legs loose.

I finally found the stairs up, and I was relieved.

I thought it would help if I got this far.

But I noticed one less footstep.

I pulled Anna's hand.

What was disappearing was Marvel, who was supposed to have been running the lead.

Stop and look back.

There was a sound of someone fighting in the back quite a bit.

I heard Marvel say, 'Run away'.

'I'm fine. We'll rendezvous soon, so just run away'.

He was alone in stopping his enemies.

I did as I was told when I was lost.

I ran out again when I was forced to hold Anna, who tried to come back to help me crying.

If we go back like this, we won't win.

It's okay. He'll do fine. Yes, I was convincing myself at the same time as I told her.

...... yeah. There is no excuse.

I abandoned him.

Then when the two of us managed to get back to the ground, we waited for Marvel to return.

I felt like I'd come back if I waited somehow, but, of course, I couldn't have.

When a hundred days went by and Marvel was treated as the 'Unreturned' and after a few years she finally gave up, I had a child with Anna.

Life with her was happy.

But we soon broke up, though.

Reason?

Anna has asked me many times to stop doing dangerous work. But somehow I couldn't follow it.

That's all.

... and then what happened?

And then there was all sorts of things, but I kept searching, and now I'm the leader of the party.

I didn't mean to be, but I did.

But that's when I thought.

He's not as strong as Marvel, and he's not brave, but when it comes to it, he'll be able to protect his people like him.

That's why I bought this bracelet.

Look at that.

That's a lot of silver bracelet. I got it on the black market.

This is called "The Bracelet of the Mad Warrior", and it's an incredible tool to give you power in exchange for feelings of reason and fear.

I used it just now to try out what it looked like because my buddies were going to be wiped out.

Thanks to you, I got three big ghosts on my own.

Well, it may be cheating because I used tools, but it's a feat for me to be able to protect my people.

Even if he's dead, he's happy.

So, hey, don't look so sad, Marvel?
