I was number one in the world again.
I thought that I would be in the third place because I didn’t do anything this month, but I was still first place.
I felt happy and returned the Adventure King to Aiga Janies, then leaving the Adventurer Guild Far East Branch.
Chillin … Chillin ♪
When I looked back before closing the door, I saw that the face of Aiga Janies looked gloomy while looking the cover of Adventure King.
Even so, I didn’t think much about that.
I thought that there were many good guys, but there was no one who wanted to party with me and would instead go somewhere.
Right.
Yuri was also like that …
◇
“I remember it was a little while ago … maybe it was three years ago.”
Said the Sukahama sailor.
“It’s not three years ago. Three years ago was when I was separated from my brother. Then, there was a man who saw my brother in this port, and according to him … It was half a year ago.”
“I don’t know if it’s six months ago.”
“Is, is that so …”
“I’m sorry, ask someone else.”
The sailor said so and went back to work.
――It was three years ago that I was separated from my brother, Yuri.
At that time I was still in the 17th place in the world.
I was often bullied by the 12th place, but it was a time when the adventure with my brother was the most fun.
But one day.
While exterminating Orc in the mountain, I noticed that Yuri had gone.
“Yuri?…”
I desperately searched for him in the mountains.
Squeezing my throat and shouted my brother’s name.
And by the time the sun turned red, my throat couldn’t let out a voice again. Tears were flowing on my cheek.
The next day, and the day after that … I searched for Yuri in the mountains for a month, but I still couldn’t find Yuri-
Three years had passed since then, and even now, when I heard from a friend that they had seen what seemed to be Yuri, I ignored my job as an adventurer for searching him.
Right.
As long as I had Yuri, I didn’t care if I was 100th place in the world …
“Haah …”
So this time, I asked the peoples of Sukahama…
But the truth was that I already knew.
The information about Yuri from that 13th place was a lie.
Surely Yuri, at that mountain, already …
But if I really gave up, I felt like I would lose myself, so I tricked myself that someday, I would find my brother.
◇
Next week.
I left Far East and continued my adventurer job.
“I think this is an easy quest for Glico-san, but I’d like to ask you to defeat a group of Giant Trolls. I already asked the young hope of the adventurer guild but it seems to be too difficult for him.”
Guild staff described that the Giant Trolls were in a forest on the continent.
So it’s like that.
The guild staff said that the Giant Troll was growing larger and larger.
When I entered the forest, it was full of evil aura that could be seen by naked eye.
… It’s troublesome.
When I thought like that.
“Oooooh!”
Suddenly, a shout echoed from the forest.Was that the young hope that the guild staff said?
Haha, It’s good that he was fine
Chudon! ! !
Then there was a magic explosion, so I rushed to where the sound came from.
“Gaaah! Taa! Taa! Taa!…”
Oh.
When I arrived, there was one boy who was fighting.
Maybe still in his early teens.
A boy who was more appropriate to be called a child than a young hope.
However, contrary to his outer appearance, his magical power was top-class.
Glowing magical energy was released from his palms one after another, hitting the monster.
Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! …… Chudon !!
It was a breath-taking sight.
By the way, Giant Troll was not an easy monster to defeat.
It was three times the size of a normal troll, and a group of Giant Trolls was a headache for most of the adventurer.
Don! Don! Don! Dodo Dodo !!
But the boy was amazing.
The group of Giant Troll was reduced in number after a wave attack, which could be said that the boy forcibly did that.
“Tah !! Tah !! Tah !! … Daaaaah!”
But, was it okay to fired magical energy repeatedly?
“Raaaaahh !! … ha…ha…ha…ha.”
He was short of breath.
“Shit……”
And the boy wiped the sweat on his forehead.
But there is still a lot of monsters left, you know?
The shadows of Giant Trolls could be seen in the smoke.
More than ten most likely.
“Hey! You! Do you want me to help you?”
When I shouted, the boy shook his black hair and turned to me.
A beautiful face.
…… Yuri?
I thought that for a moment, but I know that he wasn’t Yuri.
It’s been three years now, so my brother should be a little older.
Their faces were not similar at all, and their hair colors were different.
What happened to me …
“Who are you!”
The boy said in a high voice.
“I’m Glico Fontagnier, the magic swordsman!”
“… That’s, the world’s number one…”
“Yes! I heard that this quest was too difficult for you so I came to help!”
That was honestly horrible.
The boy bite his lower lips as if he was determined.
“Don’t bother me! They’re my prey!”
“You!”
“Noisy! Silent!”
“No, in front of …”
At that time.
The heavy arm of Giant Troll was swung at the body of the boy who was distracted by me.
“Kaa!”
The boy was blown away like a handkerchief.
“You!”
“Don’t come! I’m the one who will become no 1 in the world …”
The boy managed to kneel down with his tattered body, raised his left arm, and created an orange ball of light.
That’s … level 5, the highest level of explosive magic, Final Explosion.
It’s not a magic that could be learnt by a boy at that age.
What a terrifying child …
No, but.
If you release it at such a distance, you would be caught in the blast, you know?
“Stop it!”
“Ooooh!”
Shortly after, the orange ball was released from the boy’s hand.
◇
“Oh, hey, you. Are you OK?”
“Y…yes …”
Ho. He just fainted.
Right.
I couldn’t stop this boy’s magic, but I could take him before the blast of the explosion magic spread.
The boy was leaning in my arms.
He was so ragged …
What was his reason to force himself so much?
Paaaaaaaa …
I cast a recovery magic on the boy.
But it was still not enough.
Apparently he lacked water in his body.
I held him and looked for water.
After a while, there was a water spring, so I sat close to it.
“Here, it’s water.”
Then I scoop the water with my hands.
Kokuri …
A gulping sound.
“Tsu! … ha..ha..ha..ha!”
Well then.
It seemed that he was much better when he had drank water.
The boy was now using my thigh as a lap pillow.
I didn’t think that he looked like a boy who was fighting against Giant Trolls a while ago.
He looked innocent, he was just like a girl.
When I moved a little, his hair was tickling my thighs that I unknowingly tightened my abs.
The well-formed nose of the boy touched the groove of my lower abdominal muscle, just at the border of the bikini armor, and he sighed satisfactorily.
“Do you like my abs so much?”
“……Eh?”
When I said so, the boy immediately woke up.
“Ah! no, this is … this is, uhm …”
“Hahaha! Don’t be shy. You are a boy. It’s about the time for you, so it’s no surprise that you like my abs that come out from the bikini armor.”
“No! I am …”
The boy’s face turned red …
◇
“I’m back now.”
When the boy said that, I somehow felt lonely.
“You, if you want …”
“Yes?”
“If you like! Why don’t you party with me?”
So that I didn’t regret it, I said that out loud.
But,
“I’m sorry. I have to return to my teacher …”
Said the boy.
“… what, you have a teacher?”
“Yeah, I have a teacher that I respect very much. So … I’m sorry.”
“Don’t say sorry. Nothing I can do about it I guess.”
“Yeah, but you’re number one in the world, right? I’m going to be the number one in the world … at that time, we can go adventure together”
“Hahaha, so cheeky”
“… I’ve decided, I’m going to be number one in the world.”
The boy said that while burning with confidence,
“Then, see you again!”
And waved his hand.
“Wait, wait. What’s your name? Well … that … If you don’t give me your name, I won’t know about it even if you become number one in the world?”
“Hmm.”
The boy stopped and said with an angelic smile.
“I’m Morrier …. I’m Morrier Luxtreme, an attack wizard.”
