"I'm afraid to fight," those were the bearish words that ca out of Kazuki's mouth.
Normally, it would be natural to react that way. Not to ntion, we were high school students in the original world. Aside from Inugami-senpai, it was to be expected that Kazuki would feel that way.
He's not the heroic protagonist of the story, he's not the protagonist of the story, he's just an ordinary boy.
"When I went to train outside the kingdom...... When I fought the monsters, I was really scared. I almost lost my feet at the monster I had never seen before."
「......」
"But when I was attacked, I was desperate...... Desperately resisting...... When defeated. I realized how optimistic I was about the world......
「...... Calm down Kazuki."
Kazuki, unlike Inugami-senpai, is too sensitive.
In Inugami-senpai's case, he accepts this world, but Kazuki has beco so vaguely familiar with this world that he has overthought it more than necessary and has been crushed by his own imagination.
In fact, Kazuki in front of him is running high with emotion, so his light magic is shining around him as if leaking out of his hands. Noticing my words, he captures the light, but his expression is still dark.
"Even the Demon King's army will attack with the intention of killing ...... It's unbearably scary. But the people of this kingdom were kind to and supported when I was timid. They looked forward to it...... That's the hardest thing for right now."
The anguish of being a hero. Just by saying that he is a hero, people look at him with envy and worship him. It's not clear how much of a burden it has beco for Kazuki, but the weight is extraordinary.
So there's only one thing I can say to him.
"Kazuki doesn't have to fight."
「...... Huh?"
It is irrelevant at this ti how much damage this conversation will cause to future forces.
We don't have to fight for this country. No matter how ruthless it is, Kazuki has the right to do so.
"Because...... Nobody wants to die. I understand it very well."
"Wait a minute, if I don't fight, what will Usato do?"
"I'm going to get out, because I'm hard to die."
There are other reasons as well.
The people from the rescue team, Olga, Uluru...... Or for the sake of Rose.
"That's not the problem, isn't it a matter of Usato being afraid of dying?!"
"You're good about !"
"Huh!?"
I'm sorry that I'm out of a bad mood, but I'll let you go.
"What do you want to do if I don't care!? Then you can run away! too...... Maybe no one will bla you, not Inugami-senpai, not the King, not Sergio, no Welsey, not Sigurd, not even Celia!!"
「......... ......."
Oh my gosh, did I say a little too much?
Kazuki is lying down, covering his eyes with his hands.
What a pathetic person I am.
I couldn't believe I couldn't see my surroundings so much...... In the end, I was only looking at myself. I didn't know what to do, I was just doing the sa thing as everyone else. It's always been that way.
I beca vice president because everyone wanted . Everyone wanted to fight the Demon Lord's army. Always, always, always, always, always, I have lived according to my surroundings. I was happy to do whatever everyone wanted. I'd like to think it's my fault that the majority of "everyone" was female.
That's why Usato told that I didn't have to fight, and I was the first to ask about Usato. If Usato had said at that ti, "I'm not going to fight," I'm sure I would have chosen not to fight.
But he asked what I wanted to do.
「...... I'm afraid to fight...... But--"
At first, I was angry.
Why don't you call without permission and beco a hero and fight the Demon King's army...... But, you know, everybody in this country is a very good person.
The King, and Celia...... They're all warm people with no backs. That's why I can't stand putting these people in danger.
So...... It's too small a reason...... I'm --
"I don't want you to die."
Kazuki was silent for a while, but I was shaking inwardly and was starting to think that it was ti to apologize, but I heard Kazuki's voice murmuring in my ears. Did you make up your mind that you didn't want to die ......?
「...... After all, it's scary. But you know...... I'll give it a try."
...... He seems to have made up his mind.
I'm not sure what the answer ca out of him, but if it makes sense to Kazuki, I won't say anything. ...... Or rather, I am not qualified to say anything.
"That's it."
"Thank you, Usato."
"You're a friend, don't worry."
「............ Ahh
Haha, it's embarrassing, it's embarrassing, it's good!
If there is a hole, I want to go in, this is not my character at all! I feel like I was a drier character, but---! And Yate, stop looking at that isn't full, and there's no going back.
"Hehe, it's ti to go back to the castle. I'll co up with my own ideas."
"Go for it."
"Okay, good night."
Kazuki trotted along the moonlit road. His back looked sowhat stronger than before.
After watching him until he was out of sight, he began to walk towards his quarters with a large gap. Tomorrow we have training in preparation for the invasion of the Demon Lord's army. I need to go to bed early.
"Whew~...... I'm sleepy, go back and sleep."
"No~Is that what you call a man's friendship?
A voice can be heard from behind.
But I don't look back because I know the owner of the voice. For the ti being, I'll talk to you.
"I'm sorry, I'm too sleepy to take care of you...... If you can, can you do it tomorrow, Inugami-senpai......"
I hadn't noticed it at all, but I wasn't too surprised because I thought this person could be here.
「...... That? Isn't the reaction strange? This is a place where you may be thinking, "Hey, why is Suzune-senpai here!?" or "Wow! It's Suzuta!" Isn't it the place to raise your voice!?"
"Please don't change the na of my seniors...... Anyway, since it's a senior, you noticed that Kazuki's appearance was strange......"
I've never called him "Suzune-senpai" or "Suzutan".
There was no way that Inugami-senpai, the student council president, would not notice Kazuki's state as he was thinking about it. Presumably, he followed Kazuki as he ran out of the castle in the middle of the night.
If there is, it should co out from the beginning...... Well, in a way, I guess I read the air.
"Hey, Usato-kun, you're kind of dry with , did I do sothing to make you angry? Tell if you can, and I'll fix it right away."
"Why are you so desperate...... Why don't you go back to the castle ...... senior?"
「...... I'm going to cry."
"Just kidding."
Seniors cry.
No, I'm thinking about sitting on the ground if I actually cry, but as long as I say to myself, "I'm going to cry soon," I'll be fine.
I was going to start walking, but thanks to the appearance of Inugami-senpai, I had to stop my legs again.
The senior standing next to him mutters with deep emotion while looking up at the moon.
"Kazuki-kun seems to have blown it off too, because he lacked autonomy in a different way......
「...... As for ...... I really wanted him to run away. Kazuki has ......."
The words he said to Kazuki were true.
If you don't want to fight, you don't have to. What makes them sad and why they have to go to a place where they are at risk of death?
With that in mind, I looked in the direction Kazuki was running, and Inugami-senpai put his hand on my shoulder.
「...... Usato is ...... Don't you want to fight?"
"Yes, that's right, but you don't think you don't want to fight, do you?"
「......... So, if I say I don't want to fight, will you comfort !?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Hehehe, I've finally run out of honorific words."
I don't know this person anymore.
After all, Kazuki and Inugami-senpai are fundantally different.
"I'm not going to comfort you, because Inugami-senpai is a senior, and if you're a senior, it's okay if you don't have to be comforted by a younger person, right?"
"Well, seniors don't have anything to do with ......."
"Kazuki is my classmate and friend, and that's enough for ."
He turns his back on Inugami Senpai and starts walking towards the dormitory. When I looked back a little, I saw a senior who was standing and looking down.
...... I think I said it a little too harshly. Shall I follow you? I feel like it's kind of bad.
"But--"
"Usato-kun, it's a little too difficult to capture. ...... Hmm? Did you just try to say sothing?"
「......... It's nothing."
"Oh, yes, too...... It's ti to go back to the castle...... Good night."
"Good night, senpai."
I was speechless at the words of Inugami Senpai, who was said over my words, and after parting with her, I quickly returned to the dormitory.
...... What does Inugami-senpai want to do with ? I'm really curious.
