Chapter 71: (2)

Youre right. Theres no point in staying here anymore, after all. It might be a good idea for us to cross the mountain together.

The mountain had finally moved, and Tanaka was rolling around in his mind, letting the joy take over him.

The rest is for him to decide.

That last unsettling word brought the man, Tanaka, back to reality. Reminded of a political group that had once moved a mountain and ended up waning as it was, Tanaka became even more insecure.

And then, as if prearranged beforehand, a person stepped onto the scene hero Kamui.

No matter what I say anymore than this, it will be useless anyway, so lets just part here. The rest is for you to think about and decide for yourself. I hope that the next time we meet, we wont have to cross swords.

Based on Mikotos words, realizing that the two of them were not so close, Tanaka was relieved for the time being.

I cant change my mind so easily. Im shouldering the wishes of numerous people. Even Kalt.

Kamui hung his head down, unable to continue his words. None of the vigor he displayed during his fight against Mikoto could be seen there.

Even in the fight against All Biter, he only managed to fight fiercely due to boost from his anger and hatred, but now that this target of hatred had disappeared, he couldnt maintain his strong front. The only thing that remained in his heart was the emptiness of losing his dearest companion.

Even so, the reason why he couldnt honestly nod his head to Mikotos words was perhaps his remaining slight of pride as a hero. Just as he said, there were things he had to shoulder. No matter how worn out he was, he couldnt easily deny the path he had walked on up until now.

And then, it was unknown whether he was reading the air or not. Tanaka sneakily called out to Curryman in a whisper.

Did something happen? The mood is somehow getting serious, though. Im not good at this kind of thing, you see.

He lost one of his companions. She seemed to be a priest of Purinism, so her personality was a bit that, butWell, even with that, she was still quite the beauty, so it was a shame.

Say What.?

I heard that you lost someone important.

!

You have to shoulder her feelings. And then, you arent allowed to discard these feelings ever, no matter what. If you decided not to shoulder them, then at that moment.

The man walked away. Kamui could do nothing but stare at that back.

These last words were in a way more devastating than the intense pressure he had been under until then.

As someone who stood on the side of the demon, it could be said that his relationship with Purisnism was at extreme hostility. These words that seemed as though they sympathized with Kaltovich, who was a priest of it. However, if what he had just said was true, then there seemed to be two meanings of it.

He was telling him. Love had nothing to do with friend or foe. He told him to shoulder her feelings and go. And then he asked him to choose. Whether to accept her wishes or to betray them. Whichever path he decided to tread on, he had to carry her feelings with him and move forward.

With a complicated feeling, Kamui continued to see off the back of the departing man.

That was harsh. I guess thats because hes your favorite disciple, huh.

Huh? What are you talking about?

Tanaka was unfazed by Currymans teasing.

Had you noticed it? Of all things, Tanaka didnt remember the face of the hero at all. However, that was no wonder. Tanaka had only seen Kamui once, before they were summoned to the other world. Moreover, as he saw him from behind, it wasnt like he had properly seen his face or anything. As memorizing the face of a handsome man was already nigh impossible to begin with, expecting him to remember it under such unfavorable conditions was no different than expecting a miracle to occur. Therefore, it seemed that Tanaka-san was unanimously found not guilty.

Even so, despite everything, to be able to care for even a handsome man, Tanaka-san was truly a man among men. Speaking of the expression of such Tanaka-san right now was.

Kukuku, Ive driven a wedge into that handsome man. With this, that handsome man will be weighed with the passed away beauty. I wont hand over Hero-chan to you! I wont!

What truly beautiful weather today as well. As if blessing Tanaka and the others on their attempt to cross over the steep mountain pass.
