“Burp... what a al!”
Not good, I ate every dish one after another as they ca out.
I couldn’t hold back, I was in a trance and greedily devoured it all.
I’ve licked even the juice that was left on the plate.
“Yeah, yeah. I’m glad ya ate plenty. Now, have so tea and relax.”
Saying that, Mr. Aka, full and calm, and even a warm tea.... No, I’m not afraid of ogres anymore.
No, the horns were growing on .
Well, his face is scary, but he’s so kind.
No, the war is over now.
“Thank you... really...... you saved , Aka.”
“Huh. If ya say it like that, thank ya.”
No, that logic is strange! I wanted to put out that retort a hundred tis over, but Mr. Aka seed really happy, so instead I laughed and nodded.
“It’s a good dish, Mr. Aka.”
“Is that so? Oh, I’ve been cooking for over ten years, so I’m good at it. But this was the first ti I had soone ta feed, so I was a little nervous.”
While having a sip of tea, I asked a little about Aka’s statent.
“More than a decade? Mr. Aka... Have you lived here this whole ti?”
“Uh huh!”
“Why?”
The flow of the story was simple and interesting.
“......that’s...”
Ah, but this may be a ‘would rather not answer’ situation.
I suppose so, considering Aka seed a little sad and sowhat dismayed at my question.
『...... Most likely a forr soldier... he may have been a part of so unit. I do not know though.』
「Eh! Tre’ainar?!」
『Ogres are basically robust, but... his atmosphere is better than the regular ogre’s.』
No, Tre’ainar... If you knew that, say it sooner....
『Well, does it matter? You said it yourself...... no, the war is over.』
「Nuu...」
『Or are you concerned about the war that ended before you were born?』
Tre’ainar turns a nasty grin at .
「Tre’ainar... are you? Do you enjoy throwing back people’s remarks like a boorang?」
『Indeed, well, who knows?』
In such situations, he points out what I thought or said.
He’s a pretty good character, the Great Demon King.
Then......
“Mr. Aka, by the way, I... I ran away from ho.”
“Eh?!”
I was pretty forceful, but I said it to Aka in a loud cheerful voice.
“R-Ran away. What for? Aren’t yer family worried about ya? Why, Earth?”
As expected, the gentle Aka is worried about and asks so.
That’s why I...
“Secret~”
“...... Eh...”
“So, well, people’s past doesn’t matter, right?”
I’ll keep it a secret, so if you don’t want to talk about yourself, you don’t have to.
Then, Mr. Aka also read my true intentions....
“Hmm!”
I an, throwing up a peace sign...... Huh?
“No, no, Mr. Aka, the peace sign is strange there!”
” Eh? No? Oh, I’m likin this!”
“Oh, Mr. Aka...”
Friendly. However, that might be a little out of place. This fellow. Man? Man-ish? Decent demonic man.
“Earth, yer amazing.”
“What? ? Why?”
“Why, I... I want ta make friends with people, but I’m scared. Humans find scary. But, Earth, isn’t scared of . That’s amazing.”
Not scared? No, I was scared when we first t.
But, well, so much happened in a short ti, and I was able to have a al, and....
“Well, I was certainly scared, but now you’re just one of the ogres.”
” I-Is that so?”
” Ah! In the end—.”
Yes, I’m... the son of a hero? Wrong.
“Though I look like this, I’m a disciple of the Great Demon King Tre’ainar ?”
“Eh?”
Or, by the way, the Great Demon King, the strongest known demon in the history of the world, is right beside , compared to that.... No way?
“Oh, Earth, amusing! Ya tell such funny jokes! It’s great.”
“...... No, i-is that so. Hahaha, it’s the first ti I’m saying it too.”
I’m still not sure about the line to praise, but it’s fine. I also received it thankfully and laughed.
“Earth... Well, this is the first ti I’ve talked ta a human like this.”
“Well, I didn’t think I could talk to Ogre like this either.”
So we laughed at each other again.
And after a few laughs, Mr. Aka’s expression turned a little serious.
“Hey, Earth. Would ya tell more about humans?”
“...... What?”
“Well, I wanna make friends with people, but I don’t know how ta make friends.”
Coming here, I got asked a little unexpected question.
“Mr. Aka... do you want to make friends with humans?”
“Well, I do.... one person at a ti.... making friends.... having fun, playing gas, having them over for a al... ah, like that.”
Aka’s eyes and words were pure, and I knew he ant it.
And, it’s the right mont to ask, right?
Why would Aka want to make friends with humans?
But in order to do that, I have to teach him how to make friends first.
Well, it’s not like I mind, and I don’t think it’s a big deal.
“How to make friends? You don’t have to think that way. Friends are...”
How do you make friends?
If I tell you, it’s my example.
How did I make friends once...
– Earth, I’m a princess. You’re my retainer You belong to . You’ll always be mine!
The Princess...... I don’t call her a friend.
Well, what about Rebal? Or Fu?
Sothing I noticed, how should I put it...... Well, we were already playing together at the ti, whether or not they were real friends, so rather than being a close friend, I’m a childhood friend.
That reference isn’t helpful.
That being the case, in addition....
– Hey, you’re Earth, right? I’m Glyph! To be acquainted with the son of a hero, the heroes style is my—
That’s not the sa. Not in particular. Well, we’re not friends.
What else? You know, the other honor student group......
– After the change of seats, I’ll be...... here? Nice to et you.
– Ah, Earth!? No, way, I-I’m next to Earth!?? Fu~eeeh, ah ah ah ah, ki~yu!
– Gyaah, Coman turned red and passed out!?
– Oh, Coman, it’s a pity you collapsed. But if you’re against being next to Earth enough to faint, I’ll take your place. yes! It’s my duty as a princess!
There’s a ti they hated just sitting next to so much that they would faint!
I an, because of the ‘empty seat substitution’ or sothing, the princess would raise her hand and sit next to , and from there she would keep on lecturing .... that girl? So weird. I wonder why water kept falling out of my eyes?
That? If I were to classify childhood friends as childhood friends, not as friends, was I friends with them?
Oh, I’m...In fact, except for the title ‘The Son of the Hero’......I’m really...No one...
“Playing gas with humans... ah, Mr. Aka. On the shelf there. Is that a Go Board(Sengo)?」 [1] [S1]
“Oh... yeah yeah.”
I found a board on the shelf and a stone carved with various marks.
It is one of the most popular board gas no matter how you look at it.
It is a ga to secure your territory while destroying the opponent’s with the stone of the general, the captain, the soldier, and various classes.
I play with Sadiz once in a while, and I’m always getting stomped, but......
“All right, we’ll talk later. Let’s have a ga, Aka!”
“R-Really!? Ya wanna play with !?”
“Ah. Instead, go easy on !”
“Uh huh. Let’s do it now!”
“Heheh. Can you play Go, Mr. Aka?”
“I know the rules. Honeyborough, a town at the foot of the mountain, is famous for Go, and I wanted ta visit the town soday.”
“Oh yeah...... eh? Honeyborough Within a few hours, I ca pretty far away....”
“Oh, Just in ti. There’s a festival at this ti of year, and a Go tournant in town.”
As if to shake off a slightly sad experience, I decided to play with Aka to brighten the mood.
And then...
『Hoh... Go.... so nostalgic.... fidget, fidget...』
It seems Tre’ainar was itching for sothing, but I didn’t particularly mind it this ti.
[S1] [Go] is an abstract strategy board ga for two players, in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent.
