The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

Episode Five: Town of Heroes and Mages 5

By the time I got back to the magic city, the sun was leaning.

Rewarded by the Alliance, he exhales one breath as he grips a leather bag filled with gold and copper coins, the money he makes today, in his right hand.

Worked really well today. I didn't know you would make more than one gold coin in a day...... the 12 goblins make awesome money. I also collected and sold my gear, so it's more than one gold coin for both of us to split our earnings. I sincerely nibble that I'll make it a little extravagant to eat tonight. For that matter, I even felt my life was in danger.

In the meantime, I don't think that's a dustpan anymore. It's not a bad thing to make good money, but I want you to forgive me for feeling in danger of your life every time.

"What do we do now?

"I'll let you go back to the woods"

"Right. If you're on the edge again, thank you."

"Oh."

That's all I have to say, we're breaking up today.

Sunset streets, families buying ingredients to use for dinner, people going home to work.

Distracted by such a crowd, the beautiful elf sturdy disappeared from my sight. You look good when you leave. I think my back is masculine.

Somewhat regrettable or jealous, he exhales one with a slight feeling of jealousy in his chest.

"Well, what are we gonna do?"

It's not bad to go back to the inn like this and eat dinner and drink and sleep. A little early, though.

There is little entertainment in this world. The rest of us are trying to spread the word about chess playing cards, but it hasn't spread to the common people yet.

The reason for this is simply because manufacturing technology is low. Machine flow work is not possible, like in modern Japan, and when it comes to making it with manpower, it takes time, time and personnel.

There is no room for that in a country that was exposed to the threat of demon gods until a year ago. Young men are being pursued for restoration work such as military service or towns destroyed by demons and demons. Older people and women and children are farming and housework.

I can't get my hands on entertainment very much, and I have a strong idea of working and making money if I'm enough to play. For some time now, this state of affairs will continue. The demonic threat didn't leave entirely, so naturally.

So at night, drinking, exchanging information and fighting with strange adventurers. That's about it when it comes to doing it.

"Isn't it time for the sorcery school to end?

"Mmm."

Point your gaze at the sunset. Well, I was wondering if it was time for school to end.

I wonder what I'll do in my heart again, groaning and scratching my head.

'Totally...... can't we move forward a long time without someone shoving us in the back?

"I don't know."

I wondered how you answered the voice of Ermenhilde, which echoes in your head.

I want to see you. There's no way I don't want to see you. I haven't seen her in almost a whole year, and I'm keen to see the grown kids.

At the same time, I don't think I know what to say when I see him.

Anxiety. That's all, in words. I want to see you, but I don't know what to tell you when I see you.

Now I'm not laughing because I say I'm an old man. Long time no see, I guess I just need to speak a word of it. Even if you know that, yes.

"Huh."

'You don't want to see me?

To that voice, raise your face, which was looking down.

"I miss you."

'Then meet me. There's no reason I can't see you, is there?

"Come on."

Straight as ever, or simple?

I envy my partner like that. I guess I'm just overthinking it. I wouldn't even call this a problem.

He is pushed back by the voice of Ermenhilde and walks out in such a way that he is disputed by the crowd.

Albana School of Magic. He is an orphan of the magic city and the most historic school of magic.

It is a place where children who have been bewitched by nobility and talent pass, but only recently by nobility and children with similar backshields.

In other words, it's not a place to study and gain knowledge, it's a place that is becoming a place to get the title of a graduate of the righteous School of Magic.

I guess not all of them, but it seems to be the opinion of the inhabitants of this town that the vast majority are. It's only information in booze seats, but humans speak for themselves as much as they do then.

'As far as I can tell, that sounds like a place where you don't hear very good rumors. Sowich and the others are here. "

"I guess the correct origin means that there are so many fences."

I can't say anything because I don't have any management experience, but I think about it and look back.

I know you're confused by the crowd, but your gaze did overlap for a moment.

A person in a worn robe. What is it? Weird people target me for some reason... but I can think of a few.

Religious relations, for example. Though demon gods, 'god killing' is a big sin, people who say. Well, I don't even know.

Our power is powerful. Some fear that even spiritual gods believed by goddesses and beasts who believe in humans can be killed. In fact, I don't even know.

I hate the fact that it's too powerful. I have trouble talking about comics and movies because they are truthful in different worlds.

That's why I'm not going to make enemies for nothing, and I don't want to kill each other. I just wonder what it would be like to do that. If you hate us enough, you should make more efforts to restore the claw marks of the battle against the demons.

Others say that they don't care about purely pop heroes, and that we don't need them anymore because they crusaded the demon gods.

There are only a few of them... but it's not like they're not here. In fact, isn't Utano or Nine Seasons in the heart of the kingdom attracting a lot of attention?

"What's up?

"No."

While I was thinking that, the Lord of my gaze got lost in the crowd.

What was it? Well, if you're not talking to me, I guess you're not a favored person.

People were looking at me.

"You noticed Range and me?

Give me a break.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to take it easy as an adventurer.

Besides, I don't think that robe person was like that. It's only vague.

"... I don't like places with lots of people"

It's your first time.

It's the first time I've said that. Rather, it's better to have more people than less places. Lotus Yamada is going to hide in the crowd.

When you get to that point, don't feel more like a sickness or a drag than you want to hide your identity anymore.

At the end of his gaze is a huge gate.... It's really huge.

The stone gates make you feel intimidated and have the image of rejecting those who come. The width is wide enough to afford some room even with three carriages lined up, and the height is high enough for me to have to look up.

On both sides of that gate are a total of four guards, two with spears in their hands, dressed in iron full-body armor.

Behind it is a small iron door that will be used by soldiers and students watching the gates. It would be because it would be a hassle to open such a large gate every time.

Is that supposed to get paid or something just standing there? I think about that.

"I wonder how you made it"

'Didn't that happen when people carried stones, sharpened them, put them together and made them?

That's right, but that's really awesome. The Imperial Castle of Imnesia was amazing, but so were the gates that are the entrance to this School of Magic. I don't know what human bottom line is, but I think we can often carry such a big stone. I guess I wasn't alone.

The stones are cut to uniform size, like ingots, and are made into the form of gates using hundreds or thousands of numbers.

The door is silver. It is assumed to have the effect of exorcism and is well used in royal castles and such ancient buildings.

In fact, evil spirits (ghosts) and immortals (undead) can't even touch the silver door, so it works. Wouldn't it be possible for a lower evil spirit to get close if this was the only huge gate? … although the stone part can normally be broken and transmitted.

"What's wrong with you?

"Oh, no. Nice build," he said.

"What are you. Is this your first Orphan? I know this Albany School of Magic is famous, but I don't think you've ever seen it before."

'Hey, haven't we been treated like countrymen?

I was so mistaken because I had a rare look at the gates of the School of Magic. One of the soldiers calls out and replies to the point where he is not dismayed.

And affirm Hermenhilde's words in the heart. I don't even have to wonder if it would actually be a countryman. I've been spending the past year in the countryside.

Besides, it would be more helpful to be mistaken for that. It is also true that it is troublesome even if it is weird.

"I had a life that I wasn't very interested in."

"I see. Only rich people can get through."

"Yeah, unfortunately, because I live that day as an adventurer too"

"Oh, I guess so"

Look at my outfit, adventurer - and besides, it didn't seem to be judged that I would stand up.

Is it a good thing or a sad place?

In the meantime, my partner in his pocket was exhaling a deep deep sigh.

'... lamentable'

"If you're looking for a job, go to the guild, not here"

"Yeah, that's right. I had some errands at the Albana School of Magic."

"- Hmm."

That gaze turns to my whole body, like seeing a frigid man.

In fact, you must be a frigid man. The equipment is tunic and trousers. And I'm just weaving my coat. The man who deserves a college attended by nobles, he doesn't look very good.

All I can say is everyday wear rather than gear. It would be more credible to be said to be a town dweller than an adventurer.

When I say something that can prove an adventurer, from the looks of it, it's about an iron knife sitting on his hips. If I had even worn a sword here, my impression would have changed a little again.

The coat (cape) is dirty with goblin's blood on the way home, but it may be making you look a little adventurous.

"A favor?

"No. Someone I know went to this college. I came to Orphan on my journey, so I thought I'd see your face."

"Do you know him?"

"Yes."

"Wouldn't it be nice if I gave you the name of the range?

You know, they just think it's a trick. That's weirdly suspicious, and they might ask about the situation.

Even if you give the names of Soichi and the others, perhaps with the same result, you can easily imagine.

An anonymous adventurer, trying to get close to a hero. Or just a town dweller. That would be the place, from this work enthusiastic soldier.

"So can I let you wait in front of the gate for a while?

"... what, you're not going in there?

"It's a noble college, isn't it? Instead of having a narrow shoulder, it's only a hassle."

When I clasped my shoulders, I felt that the soldier's tension had eased.

"You know what I mean."

"For once, you're still quite old."

"Then there's nothing special to say. In the meantime, don't get weird, okay?

That's what I said, soldiers returning to watch the gate. Thank you for your hard work, he smiled when he spoke.

Seems like a pretty casual guy.

"... I'm not convinced"

"Convince me. Unfortunately, I don't have a great title for a hero."

Around the School of Magic, there are few people.

Some people are looking at the college silver doors just like me, but that's all.

Only soldiers on watch after that. The high stone walls stained in the sunset make you feel intimidated while also feeling a little lonely.

If you look closely, there aren't many weeds growing either. Looks like it's well taken care of.

"No matter how many times I hear it, I'm not used to the Range salute"

"You're a rude one, as always"

Even so, I intend to keep the minimum of courtesy.

Instead, wouldn't I be the one who cared the most about the area among the members who traveled?

The youngsters were also cautious and vigilant at first, but when they got used to it, they had a tattered mouth or a shattered tone.

I had a lot of contacts with great people, me and Mr. Utano. All the elderly people used to be so attentive.

The middle and high school students probably cared the least about the area. I was so excited about the extraordinary summoning of different worlds that I was so happy.

In the beginning, we thought we were special. Such leeway disappeared as soon as the journey began.

Traveling is tiring. Walking, riding horses, being rocked by carriages.

A car is not a good thing. My legs hurt, my horse rocks, and the carriage sits hard.

Soon there will be zero stupidity, climbing mountains or going into the woods when you get a little used to the journey. The pleasure of a different world summons easily disappears, you become desperate to live, frustrated and quarreling, making up and laughing at each other.

"How are the Sowiches?

"You'll be fine. Soichi and Ami are fighting."

"Indeed."

One person and one, the sight can easily be imagined and I laugh.

I remember fighting all the time enough to say that we were close childhood - too close would be a problem, and making up soon enough.

I was impotent when fighting demons, tired and frustrated about what I liked and disliked during meals, and fighting over trivial and important things.

But I can easily imagine that we're still close.

"Hmm?"

When I was thinking about the old days, the sound of a bell that could even be severely painful in my ears rang in the world of sunset.

Consciousness turns to reality.

Ringing at times like this is a classic end of class bell or something, what do you think?

For a while, I turn my gaze toward blurry and sorcery colleges.

Doing so, the soldier I spoke to earlier will come closer again.

"Class is now over. Student dormitories are over there, but we wait at the gate like this?

With my fingers, he tells me who has the dorm. Or is it a dorm residence? It seems to be in a section inhabited by the nobles, and none of the buildings are like inhabited by civilians.

Looks like he lives in a good place, he said. When I put that in my mouth, a soldier laughs at me.

"I'll wait here. Apparently, the dormitories are uncomfortable."

"That's wise."

"I'm bored."

Sometimes you get really embarrassed.

When I laugh bitterly at words of surprise, I get laughed at again by a soldier.

"If the aristocrats had a more qualitative life, it would have made civilian life easier."

Apparently, they mistook me for something in reply to Ermenhilde, but it helps me to swing by.

It's boring to wait like this. Talking to Elmen Hilde is something you need to be concerned about. That makes me tired.

"Right. For the money is gathered to him who hath it, and it is far from him who hath it.

"It's intelligent. I want to try some fancy meals too."

I'm flattered, and I'm in tune.

Ma, that's not enough trouble for my life. A qualitative life, that's a good thing.

People can live without luxury. Instead, I find it more pathetic to get used to a luxurious life and not be able to have a qualitative life.

There's a lot of people. I don't know if this is a bad place, but what about your neighborhood?

As far as I'm concerned, I prefer a relaxed atmosphere and a warm life in the country. I guess people admire a life of luxury.

That's how I talk to a soldier for a while, the silver door opens and the students come out after class.

You're opening it, that door. Apparently, there was a man behind the gate, and they opened it.

Muscles that can be seen even from the top of small, beautiful clothes.... manpower. And then there were six of them, but they were all skinheads. Does it make any sense? Probably has nothing to do with it.

Good luck with your work.

"Whoa. I hope you'll see the kid I know, too."

"Thank you"

Drop off the soldier walking up to the gate again and remove Ermenhilde from his pocket.

"Well, can I see you?

'It's been a year. I'm looking forward to seeing how much you've grown.'

"Totally."

pins, and when you play the medal with your fingers, the table.

Phew, exhale and return Ermenhilde to his pocket.

"I'm getting nervous"

"That's cute."

Please don't. I'm not old enough to be glad you said that. In the first place, the word cute to a man is not a compliment.

The students are turning a blind eye to see that I'm not the only soldier on the gatekeeper.

Well, you do have an uncomfortable outfit for a place like this, I'm aware of that.

- I guess I should have cared a little about my outfit, a little regret. Well, you'll know if I even cared. My taste in clothing is just as good.

Wouldn't it be hard for Soichi and the others to talk about this outfit?

"Is that it?"

I was reviewing my outfit like that, and I heard a familiar voice somewhere.

When you look toward your voice, you gaze at one female student.

A blue robe with gold embroidery for a luxurious feel. White blouse on red ribbon. Blue skirt to the knee. A hat like a beret on the head. Albana School of Magic uniform.

And more importantly, black hair and black eyes. My hair is stretched to the hips - near my buttocks. Carefully cared for glossy straight hair. Big eyes with slightly dripping eyes.

I look familiar for a little while.

"Yayoko?

"Brother Lianshi?

We both call each other names.

I thought it might be Ami for a moment, but the atmosphere was completely different.

If that Ami had such a calm atmosphere in just one year, you'd suspect it was someone else.

"You've grown up."

"Brother Lotus... you have a mustache"

That's what they say, and they laugh when they tickle.

'So. Shave your beard properly. Because you don't look good, mustache. sloppy......'

It is rhetorical. It seems more unforgiving than usual because you can talk and find someone of the same opinion.

That's not happening, I stroke my jaw. I don't think it feels too bad if it stings a little.

"Elle, it's been a long time."

'Oh. Long time no see, Yayoi. You're beautiful.'

"Thank you"

I see, should I have said that?

... No, I won't tell you. There's no way I can tell a sister or a kid like my daughter that I'm prettier.

"And I vote for Mr. El, too."

"Hmm?"

"Beard. Doesn't look very good, does it?

To that one word, I get out of my sight.

Oh, well, isn't it a good fit?

There's something ku when a girl smiles at me. It's like being stuck a knife in my chest or my heart.

'Tell him more. You don't listen to me, Range.'

"I don't think so..."

"This past year has annoyed me, Hermen Hilde."

"I guess I'll say it because the range isn't sloppy"

That's how they always twitch, and they laugh in a small voice again.

The way you hide your mouth and laugh with your hands makes you seem prettier than your age.

"Brother Lotus and Elle, you haven't changed much."

'Really? I think Range's had a long life on the board.'

"Hey, don't. You didn't live that long."

"Hehe."

Yayoi laughs at me when I'm about to argue with Elmen Hilde as it is.

Uhm.

"After all, it hasn't changed."

"Yayoi's grown up."

"... maybe grown up on a girl isn't much of a compliment?

Wouldn't you?

He grew taller, and the atmosphere calmed down. It was a calm atmosphere a year ago, but now I can tell you that I look like an adult.

I think it's true that kids grow up fast. I was about my chest height before, but now I can reach my shoulders or not.

A little taller than the girls of her age makes a girl named Yayoi Tenki feel more like an adult.

Long hair and robes sway in the wind. Yayoi standing in the sunset seems very important and warms up the back of her chest.

The concern about what to talk about slowly fades. It was good to see you, sincerely, sincerely seemed that way.

'Remarkable, but why don't we move somewhere we can talk slowly?

Yayoi turns her gaze around to that Elmen Hilde voice.

I can finally afford to pay attention there, too.

I guess the college is also famous. The students at the end of the class had gathered together and something like a crowd was ready.

"You're in trouble..."

"Right."

"There's a park a little walk away, so why don't we talk there?

When I say that, they hold my hand.

On my small, soft hands, I get just a little dodgy.

"Yayoko?

This makes me stand out, but Nico is smiling and walking with my hand.

"Isn't that good? It's a year long, even if it's a little sweet."

"This kind of sweetness, be your boyfriend"

"Hehe."

The reply to my words is a pleasant voice and a full smile.

... I was worried about how I'd meet you, and you sound like a fool. No, are you stupid?

'That's why I said it. If you want to see me, tell me to meet you. "

"Best."

He disappeared a year ago because of my nasty inferiority.

I thought that would have been better, and I still do. My presence is a burden to all other heroes.

I can only kill God. You can't fight without involving someone. Alone - weaker than anyone.

Still, if reunion is such a pleasure... I wish I'd seen you sometimes.

Seeing Yayoi laughing happily as she pulled her hand, she seemed so.

"Uh... long time no see. How have you been?

"Yes. Me, my brother and Ami are all well"

"Right. Good for you."

I didn't know what to tell you, but once I did, the wonder and the words came out of my mouth. I sat in line on the park bench and talked about a lot of things

About the college, about my friends, about Soichi, about Ami, about Yayoichi. About me... just a little bit. It's embarrassing. I can't believe I was spending some time in the country with Dallas. It's not like we're talking.

There are kids running around in the park at dusk and after a while their parents pick them up.

There are no parents in this world. Utano and Nine Seasons were dealing with him instead of his parents. And I also... talked to him occasionally.

I remember that and felt a little nostalgic.

I guess we don't have to replace each other anymore, but I miss you.

When I turned to Yayoi, I didn't have the loneliness that had floated before, and I laughed happily.

The side is very beautiful. events during the past year. It tells me that college life must be really fun.

"Summoned by another world."

"Yeah."

"I was scared, lonely, sad... and all I had was my brother and Amy"

Pompous and the words spinning.

But the voice is bright and the expression looks fun.

So I also take the Elmen Hilde out of my pocket and finger the edge.

"Yoko and I are going to send you to school now, and we've made a lot of friends, and everyone else occasionally writes to me."

"Right. Then..."

"Besides, I met your brother Lotus today."

I don't miss you, I can lay Yayoi's words on the words.

Overlapping gaze.

"After all, I'm all thirteen...... better with you"

"Oh well."

"Yoko said that there wouldn't be much for everyone to get together from now on. I want to see you all together again."

You think you made me feel lonely, or you did something wrong, or you made me worry?

My chest hurts at the emotions on that gaze. To a serious look, don't let your gaze slip away

"Please don't disappear on your own anymore"

"... ok"

Nodding so soothes the look that was serious.

"Promise, will you?

"Mm, okay. I promise - it won't go away on its own. When you disappear, I'll say something."

"First, please don't disappear..."

Yes, he sighed.

But with a smile... I scratch my cheek that I made a promise.

Promises are heavy. No matter how light or easy it is - I definitely want to protect it. Because I think we have to protect it.

"Oh, my God, the elderly."

"I can't help it, Mr. Elle. Brother Lianshi is everyone's father."

"You're not that old. Utano-san would look good on her mother, but I don't care how I get around my brother or anything."

"Already... your brother Lotus is the same"

'Totally. It's lamentable......'

Something was spooked by the two of us.

I can't believe my father... he's not such a character, I am. If I was known around Utano, all I could think of was a future that would be bombarded.

"And, Brother Lotus. Amy missed you so much, didn't she?

"Oh. I guess it's enough to send a request to the guild for a range."

"Ami. I mean, 55 copper coins for herb collection... on the contrary, you're too suspicious to take it."

That's what I say, and I take a note out of my pocket with the request on it.

The client is Furong Ami. The reward amount is fifty-five pieces of copper coin. It's about ten times more rewarding than regular herb collection.

Anyone would be wary of this kind of request, of what kind of bucket thing you're going to fight.

"Besides, there's magic in that request."

"Magic?"

"Yes."

"... but I don't feel magic."

Or what do you mean, magic on the requisition? Isn't Ami magic?

Yayoshi shivers her shoulders by hiding her mouth from me about whether such a question has come to her face.

"Ami said," May Brother Lotus only notice you. That's what I asked for. "

To Yayoi's words, I tilt my neck.

I wonder what magic is about that.

"Wishes are also a form of imagination. Sometimes a strong wish is a miracle."

"You think that request was activated as a miracle?

What a miracle, it's God's business.

But I guess it's not impossible that human thoughts do miracles.

I can't deny it because I've seen such a miracle so many times on my journey through the Devil's Crusade. But what a limiting miracle it would be, he said.

"Hmm. That's some romantic magic inside."

"... I can't believe I got a word for romantic from you. You've grown, Elmenhilde."

"Chip."

Yayoi shivers her shoulder to the tongue of Elmen Hilde.

"Please meet Ami properly?

"Oh, and to Soichi."

"Yes."

That's what I say, get up off the bench.

Because of the long talk, the area was already dim.

The streetlights of magic light are glowing pale.

I'll take you to the dorm.

"Regards"

Cold wind shakes coat (cape) and robe.

Looking up at the night sky, the stars blink, and the light pearlescent moon is there.

"Brother Lianshi..."

"Yeah?"

"I'm glad you haven't changed."

Yayoi doesn't know what she's trying to say, and she tilts her neck.

Look at me like that, dull, laugh small.

"I'm off school the day after tomorrow. Why don't you invite your brother and Ami, too, and meet the four of us?

"That's good."

"Right."

Then I think in my head if I decide to go to the King's Capital.

Even if you stay too long, you'll be untrained. You'd think a little more, a little more.

So it's time to leave this city. I won't tell you yet.

"It's a promise, right?

"Too bad. My word is, one at a time."

"... who's you?"

My partner exhales me, but there's nothing I can do about all this.

"It's hard to keep promises."

"Yes."

But the person who said a promise somehow laughs and nods happily.

"Brother Lotus is a man who keeps his word."

…………

The trust itches.

That's not true. Keeping promises. That's normal. Normal thing. So even if they trust me with that, I guess.

Promise to Ami. Promise to keep. Promise to keep your people stronger than me.

I also have an appointment with Utano. And promises to a few others.

And more promises were made to Yayoi.

- Oh.

"You're in trouble, brother."

"I wonder what. When you tell me, it doesn't look good or it's funny..."

"... chip"

Fun, after all. You're with a “buddy”.
