2 Episode 2 The brave man seems to be going to King's Landing.

After a while of rigidity, the resurrected bishop cut out a story with a light cough.

─ ─ About the brave man.

Yusha?

……………………………………

"I'm talking about relix!

The mayor of the village came to me in a hurry and whispered as I was twisting my head in arms.

I slapped my hand.

Oh, so he's a brave man.

To be clear, I almost forgot the next morning because I was not interested at all. Moreover, the next day, he was busy exterminating the evil beasts (monsters) that appeared near the farm, and at that point he completely fell out of his head.

Well, I'm sure this guy, Lericus, is a "baby-sitter," so he came to this village to check it out.

I remembered something about it, and I asked the bishop.

"So, what happened to Yushisama?

"As long as Rex is destined to fight the Demon King, he must go on a journey to gain strength against the Demon King. But as it stands, it is visible that we will be exhausted in the middle of the journey before we can get that power."

"Well, even if you brag about it, it's only for this village."

The village's men, especially the younger ones, are also responsible for exterminating evil beasts (monsters) alongside agricultural work. Me and relix are certainly one of them.

The evil beasts (monsters) that appear nearby are not as strong. The extent to which a man with some training can crush without any problems. Rather, it can be a valuable ingredient in meat cooking, so everyone is actively hunting.

Lericus is the best man in the village. The sword is so strong that it does not hang on the teeth of those men. I also tried to challenge Relix as an arm's length test, so I couldn't fight him.

In the end, however, it is complete in a rural village. It is impossible to fight demon kings while staying in the village's pride.

"So, Lord Lericus will accompany us to King's Landing."

"Why again?

"In King's Land, the mighty knights of the kingdom train day after day. If you train with them, you'll get the minimum strength."

King's Landing... don't just admire it. I was born and raised in a rural village like this. I was willing to bury my bones in this village, but I want to go to the center of the country for once in my life. I can't do it for at least a while because I have the most agricultural work.

The bishop continued to think of me as a glorious city.

"But no matter how brave you are, until now you have lived as a villager who knows nothing. No one in King's Landing knows him."

Well, I'm sure he's hardly ever left this village like me.

"The brave one who goes to King's Landing without any acquaintances. That's what we proposed to the brave."

─ ─ Shall I take someone who is forgiving?

─ ─ In other words, a babysitter.

"... you're a bit of a verbalist."

"I want you to forgive me because of my nature."

I answered the bishop of the tone of blame without a scorn. I've been dating this character since I was born. There is nothing to change now.

Anyway, before and after the conversation and the reason I was called here, the answer came out of nowhere.

"Ah, I remembered there was a continuation of farming work, so I left ─ ─"

"You were the brave one who answered our proposal!!

Ooh!? I tried to hurry home and the bishop wound me up even faster!!

The bishop stares at me. If you dare to explain it in words, "I won't let you escape!! It's like that. That's how powerful my eyes were.

I had no choice but to sit back in my chair and turn to the bishop. You know I won't run away, the bishop calms his face. However, a strong will never to let you escape has been conveyed from my eyes.

"It's a small village, and you don't know Lelix. But my friends aren't close enough. I don't think there's anyone else I know better than me."

"It's just a wish, brave man. If I go with you, I will definitely come with you."

I'm sure you're a little... relix-san.

"... I'm a farmer. I have to sweat and toy to feed and pay taxes."

"Our church speaks. Let's get you exempt from taxes."

The bishop replies that it is not a big problem.

"... even if you're exempt from taxes, such as rice."

"We'll cover all your living expenses during your stay in King's Landing."

"... look, humans aren't just eating rice, but without that kind of breath, I'll come mentally."

"As a caretaker for the brave, I'll pay you in addition to living expenses."

"... uh..."

I can't think of any other complaints.

And you notice a lot here.

Combining what we've talked about so far means...

"Do you have all the money you need to get to King's Landing?

"Of course. When the brave man leaves King's Landing, the church (here) will take care of all the arrangements to return to this village if he wishes."

─ ─ On closer thought, doesn't this mean that you can go to King's Landing essentially free of charge?

Even if you use a carriage from this village to King's Landing, it is nearly two weeks away, and the travel expenses between them are quite expensive. There is also a danger of being attacked by an evil beast (monster) on the way.

Basically, life in this village is self-sufficient, and the exchange of things is not money, and bartering is done with crops and the like. Taxes are paid in kind as well. I have little chance of getting cash.

Occasionally peddlers come to this village and exchange money, but in small quantities. I also make a little pocket money, but most of my travel expenses to King's Landing disappear. Even if you hold on to the money without it, you will not be able to do anything if it disappears into the cost of living in King's City.

─ ─ That leaves the entire savings to go to King's Landing. Plus, it comes with pocket money.

I have no reason to refuse. Rather, they should take the initiative.

To tell you the details, there is no reason to refuse (...), but it is a minor problem compared to this poor employment condition. I can ignore the advantages of going to King's Landing for free.

Above all, I have to go to King's Landing! Yes, one day you will fulfill that dream!

"I see. Take on the babysitter of Relics!!

He stood up and laid his hand on his chest and proclaimed loudly.

The bishop saw it.

"... as far as I'm concerned, you're a little lacking in respect for the brave."

"I mean, until four days ago, he was one of the two villagers. I can't suddenly change my attitude."

I don't feel like there is too much presence (charisma) to call the villagers the two ─ ─, but for me, it is "acquaintance A", and even if I respect it, there is hardly any element of respect at the moment.

─ ─ Ah, he's the brave one now.
