For Ilia, Sora was a distant being. Or it was thin.
As a friend and friend, Lars and Luna Maria were close friends, but they were not as hostile as Miroslav, who hated men.
Neither good nor bad, just estranged.
Of course, we've had conversations many times because we were at the same party. However, if asked if there were any memorable exchanges, Ilia would have shaken her head from side to side.
It was when Sora confessed to her talents that her tasteless and odorless relationship changed.
At that time, the good and bad in Ilia was clearly leaning toward the "evil".
Curse Miroslav described Sora's behavior as "parasitic."
In response, Sora argued that she had no intention of "parasitics."
Ilia thinks that the word would not have been a lie.
Sora had no intention of parasitism. I confessed myself before it became parasitic-I guess it was.
However, it is up to each person to decide how far to be parasitized.
The state that Sora judged "not yet parasitic" was a state of "nothing other than parasitic" for Miroslav.
And Ilia's feeling was closer to that of Miroslav.
For Iria, Sora's situation around her talent limit is "other people." If Sora talked about everything and the Ilias had accepted it, it would have been a "party problem", but Sora did not.
Half a year after joining "Falcon's Sword". I didn't do it, despite the many opportunities to talk.
Imbalances in party strength can lead to unexpected accidents. As a result, that could lead to death of the member. Knowing that, I can't help but be silent on people who have been silent for personal reasons and forcing others to danger.
At that time, what Ilia felt from Sora was "Ame".
Ilia, who lost her father early and was raised by a single woman, has lived strictly under her own control.
From the perspective of Ilia, it was Sora's spoil that she did not look at the fact that she was at her talent limit.
He didn't want to tell his companions, but he didn't want to be hated or looked down on.
Insect saliva Even confessing the talent limit, the feeling that "I talked to me, so I'd like you to keep the things you've kept silent so far in the water" was felt-to be honest.
Iria did not actively spread the word about the later parasitoid, but did not deny it. It is the result of the negative sentiment at this time.
And that didn't change with a single fly king.
The action that Miroslav took at that time was certainly unacceptable. His sin on it was also unacceptable.
Ilia had no choice but to carry Laz, who had lost his decoy, but I understand that it was no excuse for those who were kidnapped.
I understand-but it didn't make sense to blame Sora for that.
Hayabusa's sword The feeling that you were deceiving "" was inevitable.
A man who hides his talents and puts his companions at risk is now accused of loud just because he is at risk.
Why would such a partner be obedient to bow down?
That was the true intention of Ilia without lying.
◆◆◆
You can hear the cheers of the villagers from afar.
The village of Merte is now busy with its annual harvest festival.
Villagers who usually fall asleep regardless of adults and children when the sun goes down. It is now singing and dancing with the lights on the square. Even the kids were allowed to play at night, and they were running around with a lot of excitement.
Not only villagers are participating in the feast. People are gathering from neighboring villages, and all of them are just leaders such as village chiefs and advisors.
It is said that the annual harvest festival is also ok, but I will correct it. The degree of liveliness definitely exceeded the harvest festival.
"What is it, really ..."
Iria was lying alone in her room in the church.
He stretches out his limbs on the bed, turns into a large letter and is weak.
I heard that my hometown had been plagued, and when I returned the night after day, the disease was wiped out long ago. The silver bullet obtained by Miroslav has no meaning in the presence of detoxification, which is more effective. I have no choice but to be weak.
That is not all. On the day Iria returned, an orc settlement that had threatened the surrounding villages had been destroyed by a single dragon knight.
What is taking place now is a feast to celebrate it.
"No, of course I'm glad that the plague had subsided, and I'm grateful that the oak was defeated ..."
I regret that I couldn't contribute anything to them.
Moreover, what was executed was the overlapping Sora. I'm too frustrated.
"... I'm not just a clown, I"
There is a faint mutter.
Immediately, a cheer was heard from outside, and Ilia unknowingly frowned.
Sora defeated a group of more than thirty orcs led by a united high oak.
It was a force capable of easily traversing a remote village, relieved of the news of its destruction, and no one was pleased.
That's not the only reason for cheers.
All of the slain oak corpses were donated by Sora to the village of Merte.
Demons that actively attack humans, such as oaks and goblins, are rewarded.
The dead monster was a treasure trove of materials.
Odor The meat of the oak is strong and has a terrible habit, so it is not edible. However, they can be dried and then mixed with cereals to produce livestock feed. Bone and leather are useful for making tools, and testicles and heart are materials for energetic medicine.
The bounty and the gain on the sale of the material, combined, would make up for the damage suffered by the plague this year.
People from the surrounding villages claim to celebrate the defeat of the orcs, but in part because they wanted a share of the unexpected "treasure" that the village of Merte had gained.
If you monopolize your profits, you will be hated. Perhaps the mayor will share the benefits, but this will lend to the surrounding villages a different benefit to Melte Village than money.
It was a feast.
"I'm so exhausted. No matter what I say, no one will listen."
Not just villagers. Her mother, Sarah, and her bloodless brothers and sisters also love Sora.
No one will be serious when Sora insults her former fellow into slavery and claims that she is a man who can follow her with a collar.
Or, on the contrary, a fly king may be brought up and Ilia and Lars blamed.
Revolt Now, if Sora is in a bad mood, the case of oak will be made. Most villagers will have Sora's shoulders.
In the first place, Sora rushed to the village crisis and faced many difficulties, but she couldn't help comparing Ilia with Laz who didn't.
"It's a great opportunity to detract from our reputation. If you use it as a shield to put your demands on me, we won't do that ..."
I also thought that maybe we were going to publicize one of the Kings of the Fly at a party today.
Although tired, only those who had destroyed the orc settlement alone seemed to be surrounded by greats from the beginning of the feast and talked endlessly.
If you're going to reveal one of the kings of the fly, you'll have spoken long ago.
Doesn't that mean Sora doesn't mean to publish the matter? But then the question arises as to what exactly came to the village of Merte.
Physical strength Detoxified fruit and holy water. It would have required a fair amount of gold coins to collect the various items offered by Sora. I don't think I'll spend that much without any purpose.
Sora is clearly visiting the village of Merte with purpose. But Ilia has no idea what it is.
It was creepy. Thinking, thinking, and eventually tired of thinking, so creepy enough to lose power in my room.
"… Speaking of which, when he and duel were dueling, I thought about the same thing."
At that time, I didn't know why Sora, a level one, challenged a raging opponent at the level sixteen Lars.
Miroslav asserted that it was "overconfidence in obtaining expensive weapons," but now it turns out that was a mistake.
I don't know what happened. However, Sora has certainly raised his level. It is so strong that it can overwhelm the Lars, tamper with Wyvern and destroy the orc settlement alone.
When this happens, there will be more talks about exterminating the monsters that I thought would be.
"... What exactly happened ... Huh ........."
The eyelids gradually become heavier as I think.
It is possible that the drinks that were recommended by the people around the banquet at the table were effective now.
After yawning small, Ilia gently closed her eyes.
Slightly, breathing begins to spill out of his mouth. I was worried about the mystery that could not be solved even in my dreams.
――For Iria, Sora was a distant being. Or it was thin.
But that is the past.
It's not far or thin now.
He was clearly inscribed in the bottom of his chest and in the back of his head, as an unforgettable presence in Yumebi.
