110 Episode 82 The Difference between Brave and Heroic (Part 1)

The man I know, Lericus, has been a "brave man" since before he became a brave man. Perhaps, as a man, he is a good young man who seems not to be exaggerating a certain kind of "ideal".

"I've worked hard to be me. I've worked hard to be brave. And in fact, a lot of people recognize me."

But the relics in front of me now looked completely different from him.

"But nobody was expecting you, and as a result, you always get the best rating. In this case, Yukina is the most highly regarded by the king."

"No, I don't think that's a result theory."

I didn't try to act that way.

There was no rationale or logic, just in case I was moving vaguely, one of them was in the middle. It happened that it fell in a good direction this time around.

"It's not always going so well."

"But when you say you're here, you're always one or two steps ahead of me. When it's really important, you get the best results."

Grabbing the trunk of the balcony, Rex lay face down.

"When the demons attacked, when I ran to the royal castle, the battle was almost over. Speaking of what I did, I fought the weak demons a little and drove them away.

Even when I was in Covolt King... no, since I was in the village earlier... "

His expression was hidden, but his hand gripped the trunk with force. That proved his inner self.

"I don't want compliments. I'm not working hard as a brave man to do that. I'm not mistaken about that area. But I've always been jealous of you, but at the same time I was jealous."

I didn't realize it seemed that way at all. He didn't make that gesture when he spoke to me.

Since before?

"Hey, did you bring me to King's Landing?"

"Oh, yeah. I mean, I wanted someone to talk to, but that's not everything. To get you to admit me. I wanted to reward you for being a brave man."

To my doubts, relix unconcealed.

"You didn't seem to care about me at all."

"I'm sorry..."

The reason I came to King's Landing is because I'm still pretty, but I can't even say that my mouth is ripped open.

"That's fine. Rather, I brought you here because I wanted to attract your attention."

But with you. Relix continued.

"The starting point is the same... no, I'm a 'brave' and you're a 'villager'. It sounded bad, but what I had was definitely better for me. [M] But someday, you're going up to the same or better place as me."

Relics has been fighting with generous support from his country. On the other hand, I came to King's Landing almost alone and started everything from the beginning.

"It's not just a fight. Neither are they."

"... a cunei and a lizard?"

"You knew better than that, right? They were chosen as my journey companions."

I knew it.

She didn't say it herself, but she thought it might be a bit thin. Otherwise, there is no reason why Lelix should come to see Cunei, the town doctor. Mikage, perhaps, originally came to King's Landing to join the Relics. It became my "laissez-passer" for some reason.

"When I visited you, they were both with you. [M] You were ahead of me again."

I don't know what to say to him from earlier. I know how jealous Relics is of me. But that jealousy was something I didn't expect. "Well then, there's no point in bringing you to King's Landing. Instead, I was just shown. It's like I'm a clown."

The face of Lilix who raised his face was getting irritated. It was a mix of irrationality towards myself and complex feelings towards me.

"Tell me. How did you get here, a brave man and nothing but a villager? Why are you standing in front of me?"

…………………………

"What's the difference between you and me? What's the difference between you and me, the" brave "and the" hero "?

I was just a little surprised that the word "hero" came out of Rex's mouth.

I still don't know why everyone calls me a "hero". I didn't make a noise, and neither did the other side. But then I realized that everyone called me a hero.

In doubt, I remembered Gram's words.

If you call the Chosen One a brave man.

The Chosen One is a hero.

I know that the answer that Relics is looking for is not a simple 'that'. I didn't come up with a specific answer, but I came up with an idea like speculation.

"Hey, relix. Why are you fighting?

"That's because... I'm the Brave One."

As soon as I heard that, I got stuck in Stone.

Well then, why are you so brave?

"... what are you trying to say?

I went on without answering Lerice's question.

"You're a brave man because you've been chosen by God. So, what happened before that? Why were you the leader of the vigilante? Most of the time, to repay the favor you raised me."

"That's right... what's wrong with that?

"It's not bad. Rather, I was praised as a person."

Perhaps Relics' standard of conduct is' altruistic '. Always moving for something else that is not you. It seems natural, and nobody can imitate it. Well, I understand why relics are admired by the people around me.

"... then why did you fight?"

"It's for me. I've always fought for myself."

Basically, I'm "selfish" to Relics. It's always' me 'at the root, never taking action for someone.

"I suppose there's a decisive difference between me and you."

I don't know what that means.

Then I'll ask you again ─ ─

Altruistic relics and selfish me.

The difference was clearly distinguished ─ ─.

"You wanted to be a brave man?
