The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

There were not many guests in the cafeteria for the masses rather than the restaurant where Amida waited......

There are many chairs on the wooden table and they are well cleaned. I have one big piano, but now I'm still quiet about not having a bouncer.

A girl about the same age as Amida receives an order at the counter, and in the kitchen behind it, two people supposedly the girl's parents cook.

The pastoral atmosphere of the store is cozy, expanding the menu as the four of us surround one table. By the way, both my neighbors are Soichi and Yayoichi, Ami sitting in the front.

"You have such a good vibe. You come here often?

"Yeah. We have a lot of students our age during the day and stuff, but we don't have a lot of customers at night. We're quite famous, so we're here to eat well at night."

"Celebrities are tough too."

"Besides, the food here is very tasty. There's a lot of them."

"Ugh."

"No, you don't have to be impressed. I don't have a mouth."

"Mmmm......"

I see. Turn your gaze somewhat to a few other groups of guests, but they're all young. Probably hasn't reached the age of twenty.

Is it because you don't serve a lot of booze that is not popular with your evening guests? When you look at the menu listening to Soichi et al., there are only a few types of liquor. Even in rural villages, there are many dishes. Minors - considering it's a cafeteria for students, is it normal?

There is no age limit for drinking in this world. As long as you drink in moderation and follow the minimum rules that tell others not to bother you, you can drink as long as you're not as many children.

The lack of alcohol behind the counter and within sight may also appeal to students. It would be a way of appealing to a city with a lot of students.

"Well, isn't it hard to go shopping in the city, too?

"Isn't that far to the boulder?"

"Because your brother doesn't go shopping much...... when you go to a big store or something, it still stands out"

"Oh, really?

"That's right... Soichi doesn't care about her taste and she's inert, so she won't notice because she'll finish shopping in a small store. Our faces are quite famous."

"... it is"

"Soichi, you. Aren't you going shopping with her or something?

"She's not here. She's not here."

That's what Soichi says and drops his shoulder. And I'm surprised that Soichi doesn't have her.

"You're not here?

"Unlike the range, if it's Sowich, women are going to like it."

Ignoring Ermenhilde's words and turning her gaze to Ami and Yayoi, Ami is ambiguous, Yayoi nods with a happy smile somewhere.

Are you not there, her?

View Soichi. Neutral, you have a beautiful face for a man if you change your mind. Height would be lower than the average for boys of this age, but you wouldn't have to worry that much about it.

He's a character people like, and he's got good arms. I think it's a good property, but is there something in this world that even this spec lacks?

Or do they think Ami and her lovers are one another? Same god-killing hero. At the same age when we went on a demon crusade together, there will be others who will look at it that way.

Even for me, I think that's a more natural relationship.

The distance between Soichi and Ami is vague. Close to saying friend, a little far from saying lover. They call each other childhood friends or best friends, but they also seem a little different. It doesn't mean we're not aware of each other at all.

Well, I don't know if the distance between the two of us is right because I don't have a childhood friend or a best friend.

"Weirdly famous, does everyone else get carried away?

"That sort of thing. He's a hero, a god killer, so be it. All they talk about are famous aristocratic girls who don't even know their names"

"Nice, nobleman. I can be extravagant."

"I'm not really interested. I want to be an adventurer when I graduate."

Really? I turn my gaze.

"Like Brother Lotus, I want to look around the world. With your own eyes."

"That sounds like fun. But don't live like me."

'Oh, don't. If they live like that, the range will probably be buried in Yuko'

"... it's a realistic future for you, so seriously stop it"

Yes, shoulder to shoulder.

The life of life that day. Reward in the guild, eat dinner, and sleep in the inn. Once you've saved some money, go to the next village.

When it comes to freedom, it sounds good, but life without savings or anything. There's no guarantee when you're old enough to be a grandfather.

If Soichi imitated such a life, what would he do to his mother's replacement, Utano... Ermenhilde is right, it can be buried - if only.

"You don't look good on your brother, adventurer"

"Right. First of all, you're not grown-up enough or adventurous enough. If they lick you, it's over, adventurer.

"... thank you very much for your direct balloon feedback. Yayoi, Ami"

"Amazing?"

What do you want to say, I'll tap Hermenhilde in your pocket gently.

Even while I was doing that, Soichi was seriously depressed when they let me out of the way.

That's funny, and the three of us laugh.

"Well, I wonder what we'll eat. Have we all made up our minds?

When I hear that, I mouth the name of the dish each of them will nod and order.

Anyway, Ami was surprised that Yayoi eats quite a bit. When we were traveling together, we didn't have the image of eating that much.

Conversely, Ami gets more worried with a snack. Soichi eats quite a bit according to appearance, but Ami didn't have to say the same.

"What. You feel bad, too?

"Huh?"

"No, you were eating more before, weren't you?

"Ugh..."

When I say that, I turn my face red and hide it on the menu. Oh, you're embarrassed, and there I finally think.

You said there was no delicacy, so I decided not to say any more, and I called the clerk to place the order.

Soichi and Yayoichi shuddered their shoulders so that they could laugh (here), and soon only Soichi would stick up at the table. Perhaps Ami kicked me under the table.

"Kids don't grow up without eating, do they?

"You keep your mouth shut for a second."

'... be. Terrible, Range.'

"Pfft."

You're Hidoi's, Elmen Hilde.

And Yayoi erupts unbearably, and a small blunt sound sounds. Soichi seemed to have been kicked again, and his body trembled small once.

I don't know, and I scratch my cheek.

"I miss you."

"Right."

I still think so. No matter how many words I take care of it, I find this atmosphere fun.

Soichi and Ami make a scene and Yayoi laughs when she sees it. Thirteen people who came to this other world and connected in strange relationships. I'm a trustworthy companion more than anyone, even though I'm someone else in red, and blood is not connected, but it's like family.

So I miss it - that's what I thought.

We talked about a lot of things while eating food. About Soichi Da's college life. About my journey. This past year. What everyone else is doing right now.

I was finishing the dish I asked for when I realized it and ordered an extra light treat-like side menu.

I knew it wasn't enough for the quantity I asked for, and Ami was eating quite a bit of the treat. Well, it's not like I can't read enough air to stick it in there. I think I'm an adult. Though Soichi, who put in the scratch, once again stuck his wings on the table.

"I knew you wouldn't look good, mustache"

'You think so, Yayoi? How's Aya?

"Uh, duh.... Well, yeah."

"I think you're a man, I am."

And somehow, the subject was shifting to my mustache.

Is that enough to make it such a topic, mustache? And then it's frustrating to see more buddies and Elmen Hilde seems happy to do it.

My mustache seems to disapprove of Ami and Yayoi. Soichi, do you realize that it suits you like a man, but it means a lot different things?

"It's easy for you to look at me like I'm just an adventurer when I'm dressed like this."

"Oh, I see. Is that a disguise?"

Not only that, but I also say it's just a hassle to shave beautifully.

There is no shaving or cream in this world, so if I were to shave, I would have to shave with a knife. That's fine, or it's pretty dangerous. I have failed several times and cut my neck and cheeks.

When I started paying attention to that, I had trouble shaving my beard this time, and I felt like it was okay to have a mustache like now. As a result, I realized it was convenient for you to see me as just an adventurer.

I think it's just a hassle to shave.

Clams. You really understand me well, you.

Well, I'm not going to say the right answer so easily.

"I'm thinking a lot, too, Elmenhilde."

"I don't know how far it's true... but it's natural to be aware of your taste."

"... it's hard when they say that"

I don't like Amida either, and I'll think about shaving her properly next time.

I have no particular objection to shaving. I have the feeling that it's a hassle, but it's only slightly bigger that I don't want to show the kids the sloppiness.

I've lived a long time in the past year, so I took this opportunity to live a little bit or improve my taste. Looking at the kids kind of made me feel that way.

Is this the health of the young man? Talking to these three makes me feel better, too.

"Well, think positive."

"That's not a flag you don't do, is it?

"Trust me a little, Ami"

"And I trust you... I do"

Where would there have been elements in the current conversation that could have illuminated it?

I stray from my gaze and lean my neck as I look at Ami, who hides her mouth. I really don't know what that is. Soichi looked the same and looked strange when he turned his gaze.

Only Yayoi laughed at Nico.

"Do you want to try and grow Soichi too, mustache? You might look manly."

"Oh, yeah?

With that said, a brave man looking up at me with a happy face. Do you have a beard on this neutral face?... Imagine, without that, looking away from Soichi's gaze. It doesn't even look good.

If Soichi grows a mustache, can he just bury me, Mr. Utano?

Thinking about it made me a little scared. That guy fucks when he fucks. That's who I am, Yuko Utano. My first name is for my body, but that's not true.

"Your brother doesn't look good, totally"

"Yeah. No."

"Sowich has a beautiful face."

And they were wasting it again.

I told you. I think so, too, so I can't cover for anything. Sorry, Soichi.

And "Beautiful Face" isn't a compliment to a man, buddy (Ermenhilde).

Finish your meal and leave the dining room. The vermilion moon rises to Jomtien and tells me that now is a good time.

Phew, I felt the exhaled breath a little hot.

There was nothing like feeling hot. But only for a little while, I had Soichi and the others share their energies. I feel that way.

Did you have fun? Oh, yeah. I had fun.

I didn't think about the difficulty of not wanting to, I just had a meal with my old buddies and the kids talking.

I could remember that it was such a pleasure. Don't think of me as a hero. I thought time would be so calm.

"Are you hungry?

"Ha. I ate a lot."

"Then I hope he gets a little taller"

"Yes......"

I respond full of energy and laugh at Soichi, who gets smaller in that next word.

"Thank you, Brother Lotus. Give me the luxury."

"To boulders, kids and splits don't look good."

"Hehe."

"When you graduate from school and start working... now I'll take care of it."

"Yes."

Yayoi, as always, feels somewhere grown-up even though she's the youngest.

…………

And Ami, lean down and shut up.

It's been at this rate since I told you I was leaving. Damn, I scratch my head.

"Hey, Soichi"

"Yes?"

That's right, he speaks up, throws Hermenhilde and gives it to him.

All of a sudden I panicked and took it right with both hands, but it was dangerous. I guess it's because I live a student life, I felt a little relaxed. Well, I guess that's normal.

A life of distraction at 46: 00 will crumble somewhere one day. So that's fine. For that reason, Mr. Utano must have sent Soichi and the others to 'school'.

"What's up, Range?

"Walk with Ami for a little while and then go home. I'll send it to the dorm later, don't worry about it."

"As always, it's too sudden. Brother Lianshi."

"Never mind. The usual."

That's what I say, I walk out. Ermenhilde says something, but pretends not to hear it.

Looking back, Yayoi was in a gutsy pose. What are you doing, exhale one.

……………

……………

Silence.

But I have no objection to what I said out of the blue.

Chirali, and looking next door, Ami is walking right in front, unlike just now.

Furong Ami. Soichi Tenki, a childhood familiar to Yayoi brothers and sisters, is probably the best and most powerful magician in this world.

I don't... I don't know this girl. Why you've been talking to me, what you're asking me to do.

I used to help a few times. From demons, from accidents, from illness.

Ever since then, I've grown a lot.

Just one year. But it'll be enough time for the girl to grow up, I think. It was up to about my chest. I grew a little tall, almost enough to reach my shoulder. My hair stretched a little and my expression grew to look like an adult.

I laugh with a childish face when I'm talking to Soichi, but the side I see when I walk side by side like this is calm.

"Height, have you grown?

"A little."

The conversation is interrupted.

I'm good at fitting people's stories, but I don't think I'm good at swinging topics from myself.

Except if it has any purpose, but I don't think I need to talk much because I would be satisfied just walking like this, especially if it doesn't have any purpose.

Shift your gaze away from Ami and look up at the night sky as you walk side by side.

"You look great in uniform."

"Thank you"

It's not like I wanted to talk about something.

I just felt like Ami wanted to say something to me.

So I wait for Ami to open her mouth. Relax, watch the night sky. A walk on a night without a destination feels good.

Everyone who lives in this world sleeps fast. Because there's nothing to do. What can be called entertainment is alcohol or gambling. However, the casino will be located in a section inhabited by the nobles. And of a less legal kind.

People who like that will be up late at night, but taking a walk during the time when the moon plunges into Jomtien is as much as they like it.

There's no one around. Quiet time. Walking at this hour feels good.

"Mr. Lotus..."

Ami's leg stops.

Turning his gaze, his eyes and eyes overlapped.

"Are you sad?

"Oh."

I don't ask what makes me sad. There is no point in knowing the answer to a question.

What Ami is saying must be daytime.

Four people are dead. And that's the adventurer who was fighting with me. It's a life I couldn't protect.

"I think it's sad"

"... I'm not sad"

"Right."

"Yes."

Do you think Ami is being mean?

I don't think so. I don't think so. Instead, I even think that's fine.

If one of us thirteen is dead. If someone close to you, someone important, is dead... I'm sure Ami will cry.

But I don't think it's sad that four people who don't know their faces or their names are dead. Even if it was someone who stood on the same battlefield.

That's natural. Because if you don't, you're the next one to die. Yes, because we understand. Because I know that's where the battlefield is.

I guess it's not the eighteen-year-old sensibility of the original world. But in this world, it's a natural mindset. I'm sure Ami is sick about it. I guess I care about myself not being moved by people's deaths.

"I'm glad Mr. Lotus is safe. … I am delighted"

"Me too. Ami thinks Soichi and the others are safe."

But I care about four deaths at the same time. I didn't mean to put it on my face or my attitude, but was it noticed? Or am I just not growing up at all since a year ago?

That's all. I can't break it. It's my fault. - I'm sure if you stand on the battlefield now, you'll get hurt. It doesn't make any sense, I just think so.

"Um..."

Ami's voice echoes in the silence of the night.

"Thank you for your help"

"Never mind. I told you when you were fighting the Auga, you promised, didn't you? He said he'd help if it got dangerous."

Even then, I feel like it was a night like this. I don't really remember, but a quiet night. Before the fire, that's what I promised.

When you defend the best, most powerful sorcerer in this world.

"Promise. You remembered."

"It's an important promise."

Yes, shoulder to shoulder.

Keeping promises. That's normal, normal. I just took it for granted.

"Mr. Lotus, you're the same."

"Just promise, I don't want to break it. At least not from me."

It's hard to keep promises. Ever since I've been in this world, I've broken my word many times.

But at least not when there's nothing I can do about it - I'm careful not to break a promise from myself.

Even if that's any trivial promise. There's nothing I can do, even important promises.

The wind blows and shakes Ami's hair sarcastically. Under the darkness of night, the streetlights that glow faintly with magical light, the faint light that cannot be felt at night in the original world reflects Ami's contours.

"Hey, Mr. Lotus"

Eighteen.

Even so, I felt something attractive to that look.

"Thank you"

"Oh."

"I also asked Mr. Lotus to help me"

- You're right.

Four lives could not be protected. But Ami's life could be protected.

I guess that's what I'm trying to say. I care too much about the four deaths, the words that are caring about me. The words are sweet, warm, and I laugh naturally, too.

And exhale one breath. You can't. Let the child be concerned. Adult disqualification. Yes, I laugh bitterly.

Ami laughs like a prank about what she thought when she saw me like that. Not the attractive smile you just had, but the year-to-year smile.

"Please don't cry, okay?

"I won't cry."

It makes me laugh a lot.

I heard similar words, in a completely different place. I listened in a completely different voice.

A year ago - at the last place I cried.

"Yes, I promised Elmenhilde."

So I don't cry.

No matter if your people die, no matter who dies, no matter what you lose.

- Yes, because I promised.
