Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle - Chapter 126

"I don't know. Even so, it was my situation that I wanted to hurry."

I thought I'd stop criticizing Phoenix's judgment with [Black Magus] if I could be number one.

He didn't let me into the party because I was his friend.

We're peers for the summit, and it's no mistake that Phoenix invited me.

Yes, I wanted to prove it.

"... anyway, I almost lost my relationship with you without paying you back."

"You gave it back.Enough about Berit. "

With her guidance, Berit's movements became more vermin.

"... not enough.Even if I finished giving it back, it hasn't been that long since, but I'm trying to make a debt again. "

"Do you owe me? Maybe this is about your favor?

Lily nodded.

I laugh brightly.

"A [Hunter] like you will help me defend myself.I don't want to sell you thanks.I'm not going to be that greedy.

Lily rounded her eyes and Phoenix smiled small.

"Or what? I don't know if I can help, but I was wondering if you could let me join you at your friend's pleasure?Sure enough, you'll owe me one. "

That said, she finally relaxed her lips as well.

"... no. No, Reme.It will definitely be useful.If you give me a chance, I will win you. "

"I like it. Then this is a reciprocal deal."

Again, we made a toast.

When I offer her a wooden barrel jock, she hits herself modestly.

So I got another friend I could count on, even though it was only raiding again.

"... so why are you so happy?"

I look at Phoenix. [M]

"No, I'm glad to have Lemé."

"It's disgusting."

"Reme, that's an exaggeration.Sure, Phoenix's friendship with you... is too deep, honestly, I've been worried about it for a long time...Nevertheless, friendship is a rare treasure.We were wrong, but if that doesn't disturb our cool thoughts, we should respect it. "

Oh, did they think Phoenix was a best friend, so they were throwing incompetence into the party?

Once that premise disappears, it will mean that there is nothing bad about childhood familiarity.

"Besides, I know something.Reme, don't you feel better when you hear about Phoenix's good reputation? "

"... Lily? I don't think so.

That doesn't make me feel bad.

"Even people like you who are good at reading people don't know about themselves."

"No, that's why...."

I wonder how she explained it, and I notice her giggling.

... I think he made fun of me.

"That's how Lily laughs."

"I'm sorry, you're not lost in battle or in the conversation earlier, but I'm a little stuck in words when it comes to Phoenix...."

Gu...

It's complicated.

We're childhood friends. I used to chase away the faggots who were after Phoenix for my brother.

But when I was ten years old, [job title (job)] was discovered and the world changed.

My friend is gone, and the only remaining Phoenix is the Brave One.

Then we promised to be adventurers and did it.

He is familiar with childhood, best friend, sibling, companion, enemy.

Well, I'd be angry if the other person was fooled, and I'd be happy if they complimented me.Admit it.

However, I feel different when I am asked if it is just because I am close.

"A little... a little, I think I know how Phoenix feels.You really save people, not righteousness, not kindness. "

At that time, Lily's smile was as beautiful as a work of art, so I hardened for a while.

It's not the cuteness of being healed like a cash, or the sheer luster of having a high heart like Mira-san.

It was similar to seeing a beautiful view.Nature and eyes were taken away, and sighs filled with admiration.

"... I don't really know."

"I'm surprised you don't know something."

"I know you're not surprised."

While laughing bitterly, I scratched my cheeks to mislead the illumination. [M]

Afterwards, I checked on Phoenix's Monster Magic Body (Avatar), talked about when to summon them and how to move them, and signed a contract with Lily.

"Cold... what do you mean cold?I just can't help it without meaning..... "

It was Lily who put her soft cheeks on the table and her ears turned bright red.

I've never seen her so drunk.

I may have been out of my mind because I was able to spit out what happened to Suli, who I had never been able to talk to any of my friends before.

"Ah, yeah.I think that's the good part about Lily. "

Lily is dissatisfied with public reputation.It doesn't change the way it is, but that's why it doesn't hurt.

"... I hated your love and laughter."

Yeah, I guess I didn't like that either.

"But... the other day... suu"

Lily?

Looks like he fell asleep.

"... I'll take you home."

Don't take me anywhere.

"Isn't that too bad?"

"Well, that's a joke.I'll follow you.If you walk around town with Lily on your back, it'll be light news for tomorrow. "

If you have cognitive impairment, you don't have to worry about it.

"Oh, that would be great."

I have a hand in taking Lily to the inn by myself, but somehow I don't feel good. [M]

Specifically, I can smell "Reme-san, I wonder who smelled so close to me. Speaking of which, I met [Hunter] Lily today... fufu, fufufu", and I can see Mira-san's future in a bad mood.

Finish the check and we'll go outside the store.

For a while, we were silent.

"Ah, speaking of which.I was just about to say something when Leis was talking about it. "

"... nh, ahh"

Walking side by side on a crowded street, no one cares about us.

"I think he looks like someone, but he didn't show up.Did you notice anything?

Phoenix asked me questions. [M]

"... Reme, where did you first hear the words' The last one to win is the brave '?

No, it was an answer in the form of a question.
