The Porter Is Not Interested in the Hero Party

104 – Endless (6)

“It all ends like this in the end.”

In front of the captain’s tombstone, Muspel said such a thing. He brushed his hair lightly and gave me advice in a blunt voice. At that time, I was neither mature enough to accept his advice nor rational enough.

I couldn’t think of anything in front of the captain’s tombstone, and I just had to shed tears while on my knees.

The captain ended his life as painfully as that ugly old man. In the moment when the people in the mansion looked away, he said he was going to go to the battlefield, and while running with his sword, he fell from the balcony on the third floor. With his bones broken and his life threatened by the sword he was holding, the people of the mansion decided that it was better not to save the captain.

It would be better if he died in an accident like this.

I heard that he left the captain on the cold floor until he died.

“When you get old, even the greatest people die like this. stop crying Master wouldn’t want you to keep crying.”

“…Quiet.”

Should I have talked to Muspell in a different way then? The words I sniffed out did not pose any threat to Muspel. Muspel only said this with a blunt face.

“I don’t want to be like Master.”

And I grabbed Muspell’s collar again. Then he swung his fist and hit Muspell’s face with all his might. Muspell took my blow to the face without even defending, and took a backward step. He licked his chapped lips and nodded bluntly.

I shouted with a face that was still excited.

“In front of the captain’s tombstone, don’t talk like that. Muspel.”

But Muspell only tilted his head. He blinked and asked me back.

“You are, aren’t you? Are you saying you want to grow old ugly like Master? Are you saying you want to become a disabled person no one recognizes, have someone collect your excrement, and finally live a life where death is the only salvation?”

I have nothing to refute.

Because I didn’t want that kind of life either.

Having nothing to say, I clenched my fists again and charged Muspel. Muspel didn’t greet me well this time. He grabbed my arms and pulled me to the other side. Losing my balance and floundering in the air, I fell to the floor and hit my face.

Raising my muddy face, I turned around again. Aiming for my neck, Muspell’s sword shone.

“If you want to fight, take the knight’s oath first. Are you trying to show the knights fighting each other in front of Master’s tombstone?”

right words.

It was always right.

I wiped my face and got up. While undressing, Muspell put the sword back in. I brushed my hair. Muspel always made friends regardless of status, and did not cut people off with calculations. But there was a corner he couldn’t understand. I said with a sigh.

“…I can’t understand you, Muspel.”

“My wish is simple. i want to live forever I want to live forever young, forever strong. Is it difficult to understand?”

“It is difficult.”

At my words, Muspel asked back.

“Why don’t you want this life? Are you saying you want to die ugly like Master?”

I shook my head. and said

“I remembered an old story. Muspel. A long time ago, there was a man like you who wanted to live forever. The man made a wish to the fairy and went to a country where ‘eternity’ exists.”

Muspel was listening to my story. I said, extending my hand into the air.

“Then one day. The man saw a huge bird that he had never seen before appear on a large rocky mountain and sweep its wings. Surprised, the man asked the villagers. ‘Look here. What is that bird just now?’ Then the villagers said:

I catch my breath This story, which I heard as a child, gave me a strange feeling every time I heard it.

“Once every 100,000 years, that bird comes and brushes its wings against the rocky mountain. When the rocky mountain is worn away like that, it is said that the end will come.”

“That’s an interesting story.”

Muspel nodded. I saw him smile and laughed along.

“Do you know how this story goes?”

“How is it?”

“A man realizes that this world is not eternal, and seeks a country that continues to exist forever. But they can’t find an eternal world, and they make a mistake and the man gets captured by the Shinigami.”

Muspell kept his mouth shut. I said looking at Muspel.

“A vain desire brings forth a greater desire.”

Muspel shook his head at those words.

“If it were me, I would have stopped at the first country. Because that time is a long, long time. It’s not something to tell me.”

I knew Muspell wouldn’t. But I did not pursue him further on this matter. It was because there was a customer waiting for us downstairs. It was a young knight who had been listening to our story, and the name tag said Lamiere.

Muspell saw him salute, nodded, and tapped my shoulder. Muspel told me.

“If such a country really existed, what would you do?”

At that time, I answered without thinking. I really didn’t think such a country would exist.

“If you really do, you will worry a lot. However, you and I know that there is no such country.”

Muspel just laughed at my question. He ran ahead with a warm smile that hadn’t been seen before. Ramiere stood at attention, saluted Muspell, and then greeted me as well. I asked Ramiere.

“Are you new?”

“Yes!”

He was a reliable man with bright eyes and broad shoulders. He had respect for me and slovenliness, and seemed to have something to say to me.

I asked.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“That… . I accidentally overheard some conversation.”

“Did you hear?”

Ramiere laughed and said.

“If there is such a country, I would also like to visit it.”

******

I didn’t answer that.

However, I felt like I could tell you the answer now.

Ramiere.

The name clearly embedded in the name tag of the Knights Templar’s armor was a name I knew. beastly posture. And those eyes that lost their reason were not the ones I knew. I fixed my sword and said.

“Stupid.”

Ramiere didn’t answer. Because he had no reason left. He was now just a beast following orders. He didn’t even recognize my face, and the way he wielded his sword was far from that of an Imperial Knight.

“aaa!”

“Is this what you wanted?”

The warrior tried to hold the sword. I stretched out my leg and parted the sword with the hero. Then he shook his head and said.

“Warrior. Do you still think that the hero abandoned his comrades? Do you think I can’t defeat this guy, so you want to take up your sword?”

The warrior looked at me with clear eyes.

“I am a warrior. We have to protect everyone.”

I lowered my stance. He was fighting a war of nerves with me. Whenever I showed an opening, I pulled my butt back and stretched my arms out like an animal, as if I would jump right in. I said, catching my breath.

“I am here to lighten your load.”

“That said, you don’t have to take my place in a fight like this.”

None of the party members were here to replace the hero. There was a big difference between gathering for the hero and replacing the hero.

“I am not trying to replace you. We have gathered to protect the hero. No matter how strong a person is, once in a while he stumbles and falls. There are times when I show weakness and try to do impossible things alone.”

I could feel the warrior’s gaze. Ramier opened his mouth wide and drool. I never talked to him much, but whenever Ramiere opened his mouth, he would talk about Muspel’s exploits with me. I once teased her for her long tongue, but when I saw her tongue stretched out toward the floor, it was really long.

“Warrior. In that case, you rely on us. Be sure to open your eyes today. How strong are the people who are with you. What are we here for?”

I haven’t been able to confide my personal circumstances to the hero yet.

That would be a very long and bizarre story.

In a situation where the person concerned has become a beast, it will be a very sad story.

“Lamier.”

I raised my sword and raised my body.

As soon as I called his name, Ramiere screamed and lunged at me.

“aaa!”

The hero raised his sword and hid behind a tree, and I clashed my swords and said.

“Don’t make it easy. Ramiere.”
