An A-Ranked Adventurer’s ‘Slow-living’ - 86 Still go forward
A place slightly higher than the place where I and Zoac fought.
Me and Courne were burying Zoak’s body there.
Kourne digs up the earth with earth magic, and I sink the body of Zoak.
Zoak’s body was full of wounds, but his look was radiant.
Despite all the annoyance, I wanted to sigh deeply into Zoak, who had such a look.
When I put Zoak underground, I would put the soil that Kourne dug up from above.
For me who has been an adventurer since I was a child, it’s a familiar thing.
It’s subtle whether it’s good or bad, but just return the person to heaven.
I wanted to bury them by hand without using magic.
When I silently lay the soil with both hands, Kourne silently buries them with the same hands.
There seemed to be some dreadful signs, but I thanked Kurune.
“Is this something?”
After the burial of Zoak, Kurnet rose.
“Oh, it’s bad to get help”
“I can’t do it properly until the burial of the person who caused this trouble”
After all, Kourne seemed stunned. He says, brushing his dirty hands off the soil.
“Because there were similar parts between me and Zoac. I had a happy time now because there were decisively different parts and goals. But if I could not find anything worth living I wonder if he was on the same path as Zoac … ”
What if my first choice for living was killing?
If you can’t find a reliable companion like Kourne, Kiel or Elliott.
If you wanted more strength without finding a worthwhile life.
I may have been living a lonely life with emptiness without even meeting Flora.
If you think so, you will be terrified.
When I was trapped in such dark thoughts, Kurune next door knocked on my shoulder.
“I can’t help thinking about things, and that’s what anyone can say. Let’s move forward now rather than thinking about that.”
“… Oh, yes.”
In the past, if I made such a choice, I can’t help but go dark now, thinking about what I can do now.
After making that choice, I am alive now. Then, I think that you can go forward while worrying as before.
The first time Kourne came tired, I was going to help and heal, but as a result I don’t feel like I was helped by Kourne.
“Thank you Kourne,”
“How suddenly? I’m not shy. I’m done with Zoak’s burial and I’m back.”
When I say honestly with gratitude, Kourne turns my face a little red and hits my back before walking.
It’s a common activity when Kourne is shy.
I was looking at the scene with a smile, but if I left it as it was, I would leave it in Courne and the sun would go down.
I returned to me and pierced Zoak’s jet-black sword in my left hand into the buried soil.
“… If the roads get mixed up somewhere, maybe you and I were good rivals.”
What a word leaked naturally from my mouth.
Somehow, my muttered words were strange, and I laughed alone.
A man named Zoak was categorized as a villain, but not out of the way. He trained himself and his sword more than anyone, and sought pure strength.
So I guess I won’t hate Zoak.
Well, nobody will come in such a dim forest at the cemetery.
As far as I know a little about his life, I’d like to bring flowers and sake regularly.
“Aldo! I’ll be back soon! I hope it’s already night!”
“all right!”
I answered Courne, screaming in the distance, and carried Flora, leaning against a tree.
Then he joined Kurune and headed home, taking care not to let the flora shake.
◆
“A little Kurune. Where did you go? Didn’t you say you’re going home in the evening?”
When the sun went back home, there was Aisha with a slightly grumpy face.
Apparently he was worried about Kourne, who never came back.
When I stopped by me and Flora’s house, there was nobody, so I guess they were going out together and stuck.
“Oh! I’m sorry Aisha! I forgot to take a nap comfortably.”
Inadvertently … I explain to Aisha after explaining to Flora, so I know I want to fake it, but I guess the reason is too appropriate.
“… I wouldn’t care if I took a nap … Well, it’s okay, because I was able to relax at Aldo’s house without having to help me prepare for dinner-I was able to bash in front of the house.”
“Wait a minute. Did you relax at my house without permission?”
Some of Aisha’s words were indispensable.
“Because it wasn’t locked. Isn’t there anyone and we’re on your side? Isn’t it okay to wait outside when the sun goes down like a weak girl like me?”
I guess Aisha is about running around in the dark clouds and not trying to find it.
“Well, it’s good because it’s Aisha.”
The only thing to worry about is the amount of food in the house is declining.
When I worry about the ingredients in my house, I look into Aisha’s flora.
“By the way, is Flora sleeping?”
“Oh, oh, I was tired of walking around all day, because I was sleeping comfortably and I felt awkward to wake up.”
I’m a little sulky because of the frustration of lying to Aisha, but I’m a little more patient.
Tell Flora, Elgis, and Fiona, and talk to Aisha and Toac.
I’m patient until then.
“… Hmm, I’m sure I’m sleeping so comfortably. I can’t help getting home longer.”
Aisha mutters while unconsciously fluttering the flora’s cheeks.
I also want to poke the flora’s cheeks, but both hands are closed because I am unfortunately carrying my back. It’s a shame.
“Well, if you have nothing to do with Kourne, that’s okay.
“Yes, I understand!”
Kurune responds to Aisha’s words and starts walking.
And when I pass next to me, I whisper small in my ear.
“Can you talk with the rest?”
“Oh, I’ll explain it to Flora.”
When I reply with a few words, Kourne nods and walks.
“Thank you, Aldo. If you get up, say hello to Flora!”
“… the soup was so delicious. Feast.”
“Hey, here!”
This guy, Flora, was eating soup without permission.
What to worry about was in the pot, not the food store.
I want to chase it right now, but I have my own flora on my back so I weigh myself.
Aisha knew that, and he walked back with a very relaxed step.
“If possible, I want some sort of result that I didn’t escape from help …”
“Then, what if I was taking a nap and Aisha looked for it and woken it up?”
“Let’s do it. I’m searching for it, and I’ve had a crunch. It’s perfect.”
After seeing away Aisha and Kourne for a while, I opened the front door with one hand and returned to the house.
