“By the way, do you know? A letter came from Yuuko-san yesterday.”(aya)
“Huh? For what?”
Just when I was going to finally start reading the notes again, Aya started talking again.
Does she not have a single friend? I shouldn’t say that out loud.
“Renji-san is near this city apparently.”
“Eh? This is the first I’m hearing of such a thing!?”
I raised my voice due to the sudden amazing news.
Everyone’s gazes focused on me, in a different meaning than Aya’s, and I cleared my though and calmed myself down.
Renji-niichan.
During our journey to kill the Demon God, he is a man who travelled with us. The oldest among us all and who was always gentle with us.
Even though he was lazy, he was amazingly strong. A person who always took the coolest parts.
He’s also someone we admire greatly. No matter how painful the situation was, he always walked in front of us. We travelled while chasing his back.
……….he got us lost sometimes though.
When I was in pain, or tired due to the journey, when I lost someone close to me, he was the one that comforted me. He always stayed by me.
……….he taught some weird things to cheer me up though.
Peeping, or guiding me through the night city, etc.
After that, we were scolded a lot by Yuuko-san though. Even though we concealed ourselves, how did those guys know about it?
I still don’t know the reason.
Well, I’ll think about such nostalgic things later.
“Was Renji-niichan found?”(souichi)
“Yeah. It seems he accepted a request in a village near the Magic City.”(aya)
“Ah, so he really is working as an adventurer.”
“So it seems. He seems to be helping people as always, I guess.”
Saying that, Aya laughed happily and somewhat proudly.
Why the heck is Aya acting so proud? I shouldn’t say that out loud either.
“Before that, he had been exterminating an Ogre in the south right?”(souichi)
“That was 3 months ago. This time, he had been exterminating Orc that seem to have gathered. I think there were 15 of them.”(aya)
“haaa……..As usual eh? Renji-niichan.”
“fufun.”
While I was surprised, Aya puffed up her chest proudly again. No, you aren’t the amazing one, Aya.
Heh, I smiled wryly while looking at her face.
For Aya, Renji-niichan is special.
Since we’re childhood friends, I know since I have been the closest to her.
Aya had been always chasing after Renji-niichan’s back. She always went to talk to him on her own.
“Also, he sold his Mithril sword to a village that was having money problems as well. It has become quite a big topic at the Royal Castle, it seems.”(aya)
“……..as usual, the things he does is……..”
He always stays one step ahead of our expectations.
I think, there are only 13 of those Mithril Swords in the whole world that we possess.
Well, it’s quality is obviously lesser than Er-san but I doubt its something that can be sold dirt cheap.
Even a single sword can buy a whole mansion easily.
To sell it to a village having money problems eh?………I gave a sigh.
Well, obviously it’ll become a huge topic. I hope the King isn’t angry. Though Yuuko-san would be definitely angry, I think.
“I think he stayed for about a month in that village.”(aya)
“After that, he went for the Orc subjugation?”(souichi)
“Yeah.”
He really lives freely, as usual.
That is very Renji-niichan-like though.
“That’s good right? Renji-san is safe.”(souichi)
“Don’t say such ominous things, idiot!”(aya)
I was scolded. Why? Before I could even think that, my head was hit.
It was lightly but it still hurts. And once again the gazes of the class focused towards us.
Leave me out of this.
“Renji-san won’t die that easily. Mou, saying such unlucky things……”(aya)
She started grumbling now.
Well, I think the same way though.
But I did get worried since his whereabouts went missing about three months ago.
