8-008-It's time to leave!

Come see the world. Come with me!　All right, girl!　I am so thrilled!

Stop it!　My HP is long gone, my HP is already zero!

I did it again, the embarrassment of my youthful mistake made me roll around on the floor in agony.

"Hey, Elena-san, how was that, Onii-chan, just now!

"Oh, um!　It's so nice, it's... it's... it's a joy...

Because...

Because I'm not!

Elena tries to answer seriously with Elena too, which makes it even more embarrassing!

Moreover, the way he says it while turning his cheeks red is extremely destructive in many ways, and it's troubling in other ways as well.

''Hmmm.''

I thought my mother, who was watching us, tilted her head, but for some reason she beckoned Satsuki from the edge of the room.

I'm sure you're not the only one who's noticed the gesture and ran over to her and started whispering to her.

Mmm-hmm.

Okay, all right!

As soon as Satsuki came back with a funny grin on her face, she said something outrageous.

I've decided to go with you, so take care of this too!

What?

I don't understand.

I think it's necessary to have life experience in order to grow up as an adult lady~. This is the first time for me to get out of the village, so I'm really excited!

Huh.

I don't know what that means (for the second time).

Anyway, I'm going on a trip with you three, yoroshiku onii-chan!

◇ ◇.

-- So, about the matter of why Satsuki has decided to go on the trip with us.

''I mean, are you seriously going to come?''

Totally!　Oh, but if Onii and Elena-san want to take a lovey-dovey trip together, I'll leave the party immediately, so don't hesitate to tell me☆

I won't!　I mean, what's a lovey-dovey trip?!

"Ahaha...

Elena chuckled at Satsuki's blurbs, but then she realized something and looked a little troubled.

''What's wrong?''

'Well, Kanata-san, you started your journey two years ago, right?　Even if we follow the same journey, I'm not sure I remember every detail...''

You're not very bright, are you, Onii-chan?

f*ck. f*ck.

But to be honest, it's an undeniable fact that Satsuki is better than me in academics.

It's not going to change the fact that it's annoying to be told that to your face.

But it's sweet, sister. That's why I have this secret weapon!

I shoved my hand into a rag bag full of sifu handy stuff and rummaged through it, then pulled out a bundle of parchment paper.

'Ta-Bi~'s ~record~!

For some reason a strange melody fell from the heavens and I held it up as if I were singing along with it.

Satsuki picked it up and looked at it with a quizzical look on her face, and after a short pause, she became horrified.

That's your diary!　We're in the middle of a trip, and you bothered to wear that thing?

''No, I thought if I published a biography book on the heroic party after defeating the Demon King, it would sell like crazy...''

You're so short!　You're too stingy, my brother, Onii-chan!

"f*ck!　It's a good thing it ended up being useful!

I took the bundle of papers back from Satsuki and read the contents of the first day again.

.........

...

128 years in the life of the King.

I didn't expect to say goodbye to Mary-san so soon, it was completely unexpected.

I thought I should quickly leave the brave party and go back to the countryside, but here in Emera City, there is a magic school, and the brave party seems to want to take the awesome wizard girl enrolled in it as a companion.

Well, I guess I'll just go along with the trip for a bit longer.

...

.........

'This is great. All I've heard is that he broke up with the girl he wanted and that he's going to meet a new girl.

I'm disappointed.

'Ugh, even I'm disappointed in myself for reading this...'

After all, it's no use letting other people read your diary.

So, what was this amazing wizard girl like?

I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your money. Even after I went to the land of eternal darkness, I was still in the hero's party.

At my words, Satsuki thought about something for a while and then, oh!　I raised my voice.

'I think I might have read the development somehow.... Why don't you try to save the world with your power, like the brave Kanemitsu said to that child who was depressed and that crying face is not suitable for a beautiful woman like you?　You said something like that, didn't you?

You've got a pretty good idea. By the way, you even said something to the effect that you were more beautiful than all the flowers in the garden as you folded the bright red roses in the courtyard.

Wow.

I remember being stifled in agony by Kanemitsu, who stared at me like I was crazy.

He said, "Taking advantage of your weak heart, the way you do it is like a marriage swindler or a weird new religion...

It's the job of a brave man to help people in need. The sense of smell is very keen, maybe it's like an occupational disease.

Once again, while reaffirming the reality of the brave men, we proceeded to prepare for our trip.

◇ ◇ ◇.

[St. King's 128 years in blue moon, 19th day of the month]

Ready to go!

Finally, the morning of the departure day arrived.

As I waited, Satsuki was the first one to arrive.

She was dressed in a unique and original outfit that was decorated with peach-colored ribbons and other decorations from the "traveler's clothing" that is a staple of the village's most... or rather, the only seamstress in the area.

And attached to his backpack is.....

I mean, why do you have a bell in your bag?　Anti-bear?

It's fashion!

Apparently, this is the result of doing everything possible to dress up in order not to be nudged into being a redneck in going to Emera City, where the magic school is located.

To be honest, it's only a day's ride away from the village by carriage, and culturally, there's not much difference between the two, to say the least.

It's a good idea to keep it quiet because it sounds interesting.

''Sorry, sorry for the wait.

Elena came rushing in at a toto-toto pace, followed by Elena, who stopped in front of me.

'Oh, a white robe and a cloth bag with shoulders down?'

"Yes, I asked Kanata-san's mother to make some alterations to her old one.

By the way, it seems that Mom used to be a priest when she was young, and maybe it's the clothes she wore back then.

''Elena-chan is white, you know~. Besides, I thought it would be a good idea to wear a hood over your head when you walk outside so you don't get stared at too closely.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for your concern.

Certainly, if it were only blue eyes, but the light watery color of her hair might be looked at with curious eyes, and it would be no small burden for Elena to explain that she is actually a water spirit....... each time.

Even during the bandit fiasco the other day, there were villagers looking at Elena curiously, so it's better to avoid the risk of her being hurt by mindless words, if at all.

''So, Onii-chan, what do you have to say?''

Avant-garde and eccentric hyachon.

It's not mine, it's Elena's!　I mean, what's a hyachon?!

Aside from the foolish sister who is as noisy as ever, it's difficult to answer when it comes to what you think of Elena's clothes.

I'm sure it looks good on you, but it's too embarrassing to say it to your face, thinking from a common sense perspective.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

Disgusting?　

"What?

It seems that my casual remark became a critical hit, and Elena covered her face with her hood deeply, hiding her face~........!

'I just said she's super cute or something!

Me with my head in my hands & Elena with her cringing and annoyed.......

''Huh, you're young.''

Oh, my.

I'm looking forward to the journey ahead.

The other three were strangely satisfied with their work.

........Ugh, I'm so embarrassed.
