After the test was over, I left the class.
It was so-so. In the end, I think I was able to do well.
Even though the lesson ended just now, barely any students could be seen.
Aya should be with her friends. Yayoi as well.
I, for some reason, felt like eating alone.
“Time for lunch~ lunch~”(souichi)
As I moved towards the cafeteria, I felt my lips slacken a bit.
I must have become happy due to what Aya told me.
Renji-niichan. Though I believed that he was fine, it still is a relief to hear it properly.
I think it should be the same for Aya as well. Among all of us, Renji-niichan was the one who was the most fixated on [Killing the God].
When asking for the cheat from the Goddess, we wished for fighting power and other convenient powers.
But even then, only Renji-niichan asked for a power solely to defeat the Demon God.
The [God Slaying Weapon] Ermenhilde—–Er-san.
It was a weapon which was like a very normal weapon against anyone except the Demon God. This made Yuuko-san and Hiiragi-san feel very sad at first.
Though it could talk and was a funny person. Well, not a person but a medal.
In reality, Renji-niichan was only slightly stronger than an average human in fights except when fighting against the Demon God or his descendants.
All of us knew that. But even though we knew that, we ended up depending on Renji-niichan.
In a fight, I was stronger, I could defeat more monsters.
But, the one who defeated the Demon Lord was Renji-nicchan and it was also Renji-nicchan that dealt the final blow to the Demon God as well.
Everytime we were cornered, Renji-niichan was the first one to stand at the very front.
Everytime we wished for someone to save us, Renji-niichan was the first one to run to help us.
“I hope Renji-niichan’s is healthy and safe.”(souichi)
Though the journey was harsh, it was fun because everyone was together.
This world is a different world and we could trust the 13 of summoned together the most.
There are many who are good towards us or get along with us but I guess you can still trust the ones from your own world the most.
That’s why I want to be with Renji-niichan. I want to talk to him.
I call him nii-chan but he feels more like a father to me. That’s why, I want to meet him and be with him.
My reason is obviously different than Aya or Yuuko-san but I want to meet Renji-san as well.
But Renji-niichan is going around villages resolving troublesome things.
With Er-san on his side, I could imagine him defeating groups of Ogres and Goblins which can’t be matched by normal adventurers.
I think it really suits him.
It’s not like the Holy Sword that I received from the Goddess.
A weapon only to kill the Demon God. That beautiful jewel-like weapon. A weapon not to protect someone, but to simply to kill Gods. And the person who wished to save and protect people with that weapon.
That back, we kept chasing after it forever. And finally, we stand here, where we are now.
That’s why—-
“I really want to see him again.”
Taking out a copper coin from my pocket, I flicked it with *ping* sound.
The coin didn’t rotate properly and I panicked to catch it so that I don’t drop it.
Renji-niichan’s habit.
Since he always flicked Er-san like that, I tried to mimic him. But, I can’t do it well. Aya always laughs at me for it. That it doesn’t suit me.
But, I’m not Renji-niichan, neither do I want to become like him.
That’s why I only try to mimic him.
So that I can persevere and do my best like him. So that I can move forward and become a man on whom people can rely on.
I am called a Brave, and possess the Holy Sword of the Goddess but that’s it.
The Goddess pleaded all of us to save this world but the one that Goddess holds the dearest is Renji-niichan.
That Goddess should be looking over Renji-niichan all the time.
That’s why I want to meet him as well.
If we can meet him, Aya would also be definitely happy.
Both me and Yayoi would be happy as well but Aya would be much more delighted.
“I wonder if he’ll come and watch the combat competition in Royal Capital.”
In 2 months time, a once in a year giant festival shall take place in the royal capital.
The test to compete in that will also end soon.
I will also take part. Or rather, I was requested to take part in it.
——I wonder if Renji-niichan would also take part. I guess not, I smiled wryly.
He hates standing out after all.
But, I’m looking forward to it slightly. 5 people will take part from this magic academy.
Me and Aya, the rest of the 3 are yet to be decided. That’s because not every student has returned as of yet.
