The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

Shortly after crusading a large group of goblins, a group summoned by the demons.

One of our adventurers was being chased to dispose of the Goblins' bodies without ever going back to Orphan.

Peel off any gear that might be useful and collect the bodies in one place. To gather and bake.

If left alone, wild beasts and another goblin gather for dead meat. That's a hassle because we're going to have to gather numbers and crusade again.

"Why even us..."

"Well, you, I'm just an adventurer, too."

'...... ha'

For the city, for people. Even so, Elmen Hilde's tension is low.

It's just a sigh in the morning. Well, I don't even know why.

Earlier on, I had a black-aug opponent with an Ermenhilde in one hand and a demonic atmosphere. I found out who I was. He was found to be one of thirteen god-killers.

Even so, they don't care that I'm mixed up with adventurers and dealing with goblin corpses. This is really the work of amateurs and new adventurers. And you think he's a vagrant who can't be attached to his job?

That's good. Returning to the guild now, it is visible that you will be in absolute trouble.

I don't want anyone to do such a tiresome job. It's not a bad reward, but it's also spiritually painful.

Death odors emanating from corpses, not just goblins, are awesome. The corpse after a day is flesh damaged and blood emits a strange odor. More importantly, the body of a giant black oak no longer exists, but a black stain is made where the body was rolling. That stinks again.

"You don't have a nose, so you'll be fine. Be patient."

'That's not the problem. A range would be more... you'd have a good job, wouldn't you?

"I hate troublesome work"

Better than that, a simple job called body cleaning. I can't talk about luxury because I get paid.

"Just say I'm selfish... and this will be a hassle, too"

"You'd just strip the equipment from the body and put it together, wouldn't you? Simple, simple."

'I wonder why. Are you gonna cry?

"Well, why not?

Yes, he handily strips away his goblin gear while responding to Elmen Hilde.

I wasn't in trouble for gold when I was on a demon crusade journey, but the last year has been short of money for the price. I realized that selling the fishing gear would be good money, and I think I have better hands on this kind of thing.

Elmen Hilde is angry that there is such a hero, but money is important.

"You're working right, aren't you? I'm just not goofy. Think it's better."

'That's normal. I want to tell you to pick more jobs, I haha.'

"You're not great enough to choose a job."

Finish removing the gear from Goblin's body, grab its arm and take it to a designated gathering place.

When it comes to more than two hundred bodies, this simple task is also quite tiring.

There are about ten adventurers participating, and then there are about thirty residents of the magic city. Some of them have children. It's a good pocket money, I guess.

"They found out you were one of the heroes, so you'd get a better job turned around"

"I'm not really interested in that. Regardless of your neighborhood relationship, I'm sorry for the power struggle between the nobles and the heroes. And I'm not a hero."

Titles called heroes attract people even if they don't like them.

Now, the other adventurers are turning a blind eye to me when I'm dealing with corpses like this.

I'm not so ignorant that I don't know what that means. And I'm not even willing to respond to that.

'Totally......'

Poke his knee next to the new goblin's body (buckwheat) and peel off his gear.

Ermenhilde still says something bumpy, but it's not like I can say this.

Four dead. Eleven seriously wounded. Thirty-one minor injuries.

That is the figure of the damage done by the avant-garde, due to this goblin sweep.

All the deaths were young adventurers, boys who were on the front lines. - I'm the boy you spoke to before the operation.

I remember what I told you then. Reminds me of the words that aroused them.

Lucky?

I don't have any luck when I'm supposed to be on the battlefield. Being on the battlefield at that young age. That would be unhappy.

And a rear guard group organized with mages and archers.

Two seriously injured and seventeen slightly injured. Damage is all there is. Even the seriously wounded can go back to the same life they always had if the wounds healed. Wounds to such an extent that no sequelae remain.

Demon Clan ambush. But it's the result of Soichi and Ami protecting the guards, keeping the front and letting them fight.

... That's what I think, I exhale.

The difference between me and Soichi. The difference between the weakest god killer and a hero called a brave man or archmage mentor. The difference between God killing, who can't gain the strength to fight without sacrifice, and the brave men who can always fight at their best.

It's an excuse that the danger is different between the avant-garde and the rear guard. There's a dead man. If you were a hero - you could have protected the boys who were dead. I had to protect it.

Even so, I gained strength by feeding on the death of those boys instead of protecting them.

As it turns out, he defeats the black oak, and the surroundings start calling me a hero again. Even the guild said so this morning.

You can't be a hero like that.

"Still around, we lift the range up to be heroes, right?

"That's a hassle."

With that said, I'm done stripping my gear off Goblin's body.

"I want to take it easy and look around you and the world."

"- Hmm."

"I think it's a lot of fun. What do you think?

"Saanana"

The answer from Elmen Hilde is quite unscrupulous.

Then for a while, we encourage the two of us to work silently. Even so, I strip the equipment from the body.

Soichi and the others are going to talk to the mayor of the magic city about what to do with the disposition of the demons they just captured.

He reads that he will probably be transported to Wang Capital and asked for information.

There are many magicians in magic cities, but not so many can fight. Magic students are only students, and magicians with real-life experience often work for the Knights of the King's Capital, or the Institute.

Though severe in such a force, I am certain that if that demon tribe takes action, it will be troublesome. Even Zoichi and the others are human beings, vulnerable to unintended attacks. Now, this operation has been damaged by that unintentional blow.

So in the near future, that demon tribe will be sent to King's Capital, which is safer than Orphan.

"The demon king who will not resurrect the demon god,"

"- Don't you like the fight?

Demon god.

I can fight as hard as I can, one of the few.

The resurrection of the demon god may also be a resurrection of my existential significance. I realize what Elmen Hilde wants to say, but I don't have the words to respond to it.

Ermenhilde, a weapon that kills demons. God killer who can only fight God with all his might.

But when asked if he wanted the demon god to resurrect him, he shook his neck to the side. If the demon god is resurrected, I can fight with all my might. As a “hero," you will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the brave.

Last fight. Just like then. At the expense of many of my people. At the expense of those who wanted to protect me. You'll be able to protect the world.

But...

"I hate fighting. Scary and painful."

"Right."

I'm a coward.

"Right."

"... deny it there, buddy"

I hate fighting. A lot of people get hurt. A lot of people grieve. A lot of people die.

And more importantly - lots of people cry.

"The battle against the family of the demon god has sparked my heart."

"Right."

"Range says I'm a partner, not a weapon"

"Right."

'... don't deny me, Range'

I am carelessly just a little happy with the weak sound of my partner (Ermenhilde).

Touch the edge of the medal in your pocket with your fingers as you move through the emotions.

"Say no."

"The Fool."

Mmm, nodding aloud.

"Conscious"

"You big fool."

Well, let's just say we work hard.

I'm probably a pretty mazohist to get into work listening to Elmen Hilde's gentle curse.

When the sun sets and you return to the city, you will see a number of stores lit by street lights lit by magical lights.

I wonder what I would do while opening myself up to being thanked Kyou by the gatekeeper's soldiers.

Do you want to go back to the inn and sleep or show your face in the tavern?

While thinking about which way to go, for now, my feet head toward the inn. and realize that there is a figure at the end of his sight.

"Hey, Soichi"

"I've already waited, Brother Lianshi. Finally back."

"What's up, Sowich? In here."

"No, Brother Lotus is renting a room. I don't know the accommodation, so I've been waiting for you where I can see the south gate for now"

How free are you, brave man?

That's right. I put a scratch in my heart.

"What about that demon tribe?

"After that, I sent out my early horse and I think I contacted Wang Du. We're not the only ones involved, but Brother Lianshi, so maybe Yoko will come and pick us up."

"Uh-huh."

"... Yuko, are you mad at me?

I don't like that.

As someone who has been pissed off many times when we are all traveling together, Utano is the number one person who doesn't want to piss off.

Well, it's my fault.

Invite a group of minors to a town at night, get hurt for being impotent, or teach the kids weird things.

Admittedly, it's not a busy reason, but I think it's a loss if you don't enjoy it because it's a different world. I still haven't changed my mind about that.

"Yuko is scared when he gets angry."

"You're going to grow a tuna. The tuna."

"If you said that, they'd ask you, wouldn't they?

'Then you can keep me in Sowich. Range'

"You'll be a lottery student at all times, buddy"

Soichi laughs when he starts asking questions with Ermenhilde.

"I miss you."

To that word, flaunt your shoulders.

It's been three years since I questioned Ermenhilde. Rather than nostalgic as far as I'm concerned, it's taken for granted.

That's why I feel so uncomfortable with Soichi's words.

"As far as I'm concerned, I prefer a little more quiet."

"Mm."

Ermenhilde, which solidifies with that one word, is funny and makes me laugh with Soichi.

As always, he's a fun partner to tease.

"What about Ami and Yayoi?

"I'm going to rent a restaurant."

"... you wouldn't have to go that far"

"I'm glad. Especially Ami."

"Phew."

'That's a careless reply. You don't even know if they're buried in a hole, right?

Is this all you can bury?

You're not that short-tempered. Maybe.

Try to follow Soichi as he walks out talking, and I walk out too. I guess he'll lead us to that restaurant and the do-it-yourself.

After the battle with the Demons, we split up without much to talk about, but it helps not to say anything in particular.

Well, I guess they'll ask me after this. What have you been doing?

I wonder how to look into the night sky for a moment. I shall think briefly that something will be done properly.

It wasn't much of a good outfit, and I lived a frivolous life.

But I don't want to hide much from the kids. I'm not going to lie, but I'm going to tell you quite a bit.

"Already. Be nice to Ami, okay? If Brother Lianshi pisses you off, he'll come after me."

"That's what I enjoy."

"Give me a break..."

That being said, Soichi is Soichi, and he enjoys hanging out with his childhood friends.

I think it's easy to understand. Really.

Are we just getting along, or is that more than that? So much so.

"Than that, Soichi"

"More than that...... what, Brother Lotus?

"Don't I stink? Goblin's back. He's been bleeding, and he's been dealing with his body."

Speaking of which, it stinks.

"Is this going to be dinner? So you're just gonna keep going?

If I do that, Mr. Utano, not Ami, is going to nanicate me. Mainly in spiritual terms.

"Can we go back to the inn once? I want to take a bath. And I wish I could change my clothes."

"Right. If you go with your bloody clothes, I'll bury you..."

"Aren't we allowed to bury them all now? Friendly."

I want you to give me a break about that.

It's dark, narrow and breathless to be buried.

"That could make the range a little mattomo too"

"Can you not tell people like they're not mattomos?

'You're not Matomo. The Range.'

He's a terrible partner.

Shoulder to shoulder, Soichi laughs again.

"Mr. Elle, are we kind of round again?

"You're round from the beginning, it's a medal. I don't... I don't, do I?

"... not"

Soichi dropping his shoulder is cute and makes me laugh.

When I do, I swell my cheeks and look up. The trick is still childish. Should I say it because I'm only eighteen, or should I say it because I'm eighteen already?

"Because I was tougher in the beginning. Tell me about it, Master Range.

- I don't remember anything like that.

"There it is, you were still pure and sophisticated"

Do you want me to talk a lot about what's never happened to Ami, Range?

You want to do something that wasn't there, that past. Well, it's also a past I don't really want to be known for.

He said that he was a clumsy company employee, but all of a sudden, he was called in as a courtesan. It is an embarrassing memory.

"When it comes to the beginning, Soichi hasn't grown much."

"Ugh..."

'Never mind. The man's not tall, he's in there, Sowich.'

That's a terrible thing to say, Elmenhilde.

It's like saying don't worry about being low in the dark. Soichi sighs out of sight.

In fact, if you stretch your hair because your face is also neutral, wouldn't it look like Yayoi?

"That's good, Lotus. Your brother's tall."

"I think it's only about average."

"I'm below average. Everyone in my class is taller than me."

'I'm fine. I know a lot about Sowich. "

So it's not comforting, idiot. Beat Elmen Hilde from the top of his pocket.

I told you to get off topic, but I think Elmenhilde is hanging on to stab Todome.

"Your height will grow soon."

"I still drink milk every day."

Are you drinking?

"You're living a healthy life. Let's get dressed in the inn and join Amida."

"... right. If I make you wait any longer, you'll be angry again."

"Again?"

"Yeah. Nothing, Mr. El."

Did you do something to piss me off?

I laugh at Soichi, who is as easy to understand as ever, though I think it's bad.

"Sounds like you're close, Ami and I"

"What do you think? Well, because you're familiar with childhood. Somehow, I know what you're thinking."

"That's amazing."

With that said, Soichi looks up happy.

"Envious?"

"Well, let's see."

"You're not being honest, as usual"

It's not like that.

It's just - I'm not jealous or anything, I'm sure it's because the relationship is between Soichi and Ami.

That's not envy... slight jealousy.

"Well, I don't have anyone like that," he said.

"What about Mr. Elle?

"It feels like a rotten edge."

".................. Mmm"

A brave man who protected his people. A slight jealousy of Soichi Heavenly Tree, trusted by everyone.

Hiding it and making fun of Ermenhilde deflect the conversation.

That's fine.

Adults who are jealous of their younger children as well as ten are just ugly.

The people I fought with died. My life was lost. - By doing so, I finally gained the strength to fight.

Oh, and I sigh in my heart.

"Me and Ami, too, because that's how it is. Mr. Elle."

"... I'm not comforted, Sowich."

"It was payback earlier."

I envy Soichi, who is upright funny.

When you grow up, why are you so good at making laughs?

Or can you say you're an adult when you're good at making laughs?
