53-053-Sekai without salvation 5-3

[7 years ago]

In this country, it is customary for everyone to go to the Temple of the Vocation in the royal castle when they turn ten years old to learn about their vocation.

Today, a boy and a girl who seemed to be close to each other came to the temple.

They were born on the same day ten years ago in the same place and have grown up together all their lives.......they are so-called childhood friends.

After being briefed by the priest, they proceeded to the separate entrances for men and women, and obtained the oracle without being seen by anyone....

Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't!

A girl came to the boy, who had been waiting outside the gate a step ahead of her, with a panicked look on her face.

What is it? Did you get your calling as a 'playboy' or something?

The boy who laughed as he said this was holding a piece of paper card in his hand.

On that piece of paper, there was only the word 'Swordsman' written in black letters, and it promised that he would live to become an expert in swordsmanship from now on.

You might think that your future would be decided by a piece of paper like this, but he himself had been trained in swordsmanship by his knightly father since he was a child, and he had never lost a fight to those bad boys, so he was very happy with his vocation.

''No, it's not!　Look at this!

On the other hand, the girl, on the other hand, didn't seem entirely convinced.

When I unfolded the paper tag that was crushed and wrinkled in her small hands, I saw the name of her vocation written on it in gorgeous gold letters.

[Brave man]

In this world, when the world is in turmoil, a hero is born in each country and is given the power to protect the people.

Moreover, it is said that the brave person will be given power equivalent to that of the king, perhaps because he has been given an important mission to save the world.

The boy is excited to see the girl who has been awarded the most powerful job in the world!

That's awesome!　I didn't expect you to be a whiny little b*tc* and be a brave man~. Well, from now on, I'm not going to be able to say that to you either!　Oh, when you go on your journey to defeat the Demon King, don't forget to take me along!

However, in contrast to the boy who was happily impressed, the girl cried out in a ramble.

''Eeeeee!　I can't be a hero!

'Oh, come on, with that title, everyone will adore you and you'll be much better off than you are now, right?

I don't want that!

Apparently the girl really doesn't want to go on, and she completely refuses to go on, clinging to the pillar near the exit of the temple.

No matter how many times you check her will, she is always saying "I don't want to be a brave man".

The boy was troubled by the helplessness of the situation.

'Huh.....

I don't want to be a hero.

Seeing the girl nod strongly, the boy scurries around.

As lightly touched upon earlier, a tentmaker's vocation is a revelation from God that inscribes his or her form of becoming on a paper tag, and there is no human intervention in that process.

In other words........only the two people involved know of their vocation.

''.........holy shit!

The boy hesitated for a moment, then let out a sigh and let the girl grab the paper bill in his hand and take away the crumpled replacement.

''Eh...''

I'll be the hero for you.

The girl's eyes widened in surprise at the boy's words.

'Ho, are you sure?

But when a brave man turns 16, he has to leave home and go on a journey to defeat the demon king. I can take your place, but if you don't have a real hero, you're in big trouble. So when that happens you'll have to follow along with me.

'.....Yeah!　Thank you!!!!!

Thus, born on the same day, they chose to disguise their vocation... or rather, their future.

It's not that he wanted position or honor, nor did he want to become a brave man, he simply didn't want to see the girls get sad.

However, that big lie was too heavy for the little girls' little hands.

--A boy who must continue to lie that he is a brave man.

--The girl suffers from the guilt of having forced the boy to carry a heavy burden that she herself should have carried.

This distortion will spread little by little, and one day the limit will come.

And by that time it will surely be too late.

'What should I do?'

The girl asks herself the question, but she does not get an answer.

Unable to find an answer, the two of them continue their journey through the silver world today.

'What's the matter?'

He turned around and spoke to me, sounding concerned.

...I don't want to burden him any more.

With that in mind, the girl shook her head and swallowed the words that started to come out to her throat.

'Nah, it's nothing.'

--and then time passed and the boy became the king, and the girl went on a different path.

[Another Holy King history? Years? The moon? [Sun]

"My king, the front magicians have been destroyed.　We will now begin the return fire by the Knights!

The young soldier reported the recent situation and then grabbed his sword again and left the scene.

''Huh...''

It has been two years since he climbed the Tower of the Gods and retreated from the front lines.

The world has changed a lot.

I stepped out onto the castle's balcony and looked up at the familiar sky.

The sky I can see from the Frost Kingdom has turned black, and in this world surrounded by darkness, I can't even remember when the snow color was pure white.

'Where did I go wrong?'

I look up at the world where the light was lost and think about it deeply.

'Krull........'

He muttered the name of his partner who once took the wrong path in the Tower of the Gods.

.........Shortly after that, the area around the castle was engulfed in flames!

What the hell just happened?

"Guhhehehehehe!　I found the greatest man in the world!

Lesser Demon!

Seeing the monster that suddenly appeared on the balcony, I hurriedly ran into the room and grabbed my sword and prepared myself.

Although I have a hapless body that can no longer use any techniques now, but a monster of this level is not my enemy.

"You, how did you get here!

"How?　Of course we beat the crap out of everyone who gets in our way!　We just have to get rid of you, and then we'll take care of everything else!　Hey, you!

As the Lesser Demon said this, he raised his hands and a large number of monsters appeared outside the window.

''How dare they...''

If this is the truth in its own eyes, then our country's knights...no, all of this country has been consumed by darkness.

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

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's been in the market for a while.

?

Suddenly, the area was enveloped in a dazzling light, and more than half of the monster army disappeared beyond the light.

As I was baffled by the sudden situation, a woman and a fairy in costumes appeared from the void, cutting through the jet black sky.

''Ku, space transfer...!

And when I see the face of the woman who took off her hood, my eyes widen in surprise.

Because, she's...!

I'm here to help you, Uranus!

Here they come.

'Oh, yeah...'

Tears well up in my eyes at the sight of my childhood friend smiling at me, and the same unsympathetic fairy as ever.

'This world is already ruined, but I will endure any hell I can find with you. So ... let's go, this time together, right?

With tears streaming down my face, I reached for the last hope.

And the world ended.
