h.e.l.lo, finally I got the time.
Please tell me if I make any mistake.
CHAPTER 18: FIRST LOVE
Even if I give a guidance, it will not bepossible to go out as it is almost night. I decided to walk around thearea for the time being.
"This is Philia Boulevard. After going tothe north for a while, there is a Runina street, which is the busiest downtownarea in the city. I will continue to the north gate of the outer wall ahead"
We go through the residential area, and get offat the main street.
Continue to the south, turn around the squarewhere there is an engagement carriage and return home.
It is a course that only lightly walks aroundthe neighbourhood.
It is not something that can be said to be aguide, but with this level, it will turn out to be a bad day tonight.
If you walk to the school, you can see the seaand there are places where good scenery is spreading, but it is not popular ifit is dark.
Oh, it is not because I do not want to be twopeople on a dark road.
I know he is a reliable person.
Well, should I think that it is a little stroll.
It would be more convenient to remember thelocation of the stop.
"The road is paved quite nice andbeautifully, is not it? The place where I came was a bit rugged and it’s hardto walk."
“It’s a new residential area. Where didJust-san lived in the Kingdom?”
"I"m living in a student dormitory. It’slocated in a shabby place of downtown"
“As for dormitory, do you originally not aperson from the Kingdom?"
"I was born in a small village of anothercountry"
It feels like a little date.
It is somewhat strange that walking like thiswith someone who I thought like "I hope to see you again" until awhile ago.
"After all, did you come here to become a knight?"
“Yeah, I think I want to become a Strike Knight [ストライクナイト] someday."
Sutoraiku?
"Do you want to become a baseball player?"
When I heard it back, Just-san brieflylaughed. It is not a laughing way of making a fool, but it lookscrazy.
"Baseball is not a shining warrior.Because it is a common name among the Terushi, you may not get used to it.
Writing in common terms it is "kiko senshi",a fighting warrior with bright power that specialise in attacking.
“Is not it different from ordinaryTerushi-sama?”
"Etto, what kind of thing do you know about the Terushi? "
“It is a people who keep the security of the country, fight against Evil andthen fight against the Lord of another country when it comes to war.”
There are two types of soldiers who defend thecountry, the people specializing in maintaining security are the guards, I knowthe cla.s.s above is called bright artist (terushi).
"Radiance warriors is the highest ranked Terushi that specialized infighting against Evil with the help from the bright steel stone"
"What"s kind of Terushi’s version, do you think of Royal Palace radianceknight?"
"Oh yeah. Something like that."
I did not know. I thought that it would beonly a bright artist like myself who need to borrow the power from thebrilliant steel stone.
"Why is the kiko ...... Do you want to becomea fighter somehow?”
"There are absolutely few numbers ofbrilliant warriors. In my country of origin, there are still remaining Evils.However, the qualification to become radiant warrior is more severe than thatof royal palace artist, it is not permitted for people other than those with majorpowers who manage the province can become shining warriors.”
With a look that makes you feel kindness evenwhen he is serious, Just-san politely explain it to me.
He is increasingly cool if you look closer onceagain.
I recognize again that he is a handsome boy whois easy to see even if walking in the city.
Thinking, it makes me jerky ......
"There is no choice but to do it because the major powers manage brilliantstones, if Evil appears that is not enemy to handle with your own strength, youonly have to wait until a shining warrior is dispatched from a great country.”
“But it will take time until they come and askfor help”
“Yes. so the small country is vulnerable to thecatastrophic damage”
In the eyes of Just-san who gazed at hisexpanding palm and grasped his fist, I could not find any point of cloudiness.
"When I become a brilliant warrior, I"m thinking of going back to thecountry I was born and trying again to become the brightest man. I do not thinkthat it is hard work because there is no precedent, but I definitely want to bea human being who can protect my hometown.”
Oh ......
"You are respectable, are not you?"
"Not really"
No, I think it’s amazing.
To be honest I was touched. He came to a greatcountry to protect his hometown where he was born, and training is somethingquite different from me who has lived so far.
“Even if I say so, I am still practicing. Butit’s a story in my dream that I will become a shining warrior.”
It"s a story in a dream that it"s going to be ashining warrior. "
“There is not such a thing. When I was helped yesterday, I thought thatyou are really a Terushi-sama. Just-san, you will surely be a wonderful kidfellow."
"Thank you. Well, I intended to keep my parentheses yesterday asmuch as I cannot get licked by my opponent.
"By the way, why did you go through such places?"
If you stay at a hotel in urban area, you donot have to bother to come out of such a city.
“Er, that is ... ....”
Just-san made a troubled face and choked words.
That? I wonder if I should not ask. It may be because there are goodreasons to come to the isolated city to take the trouble to bother.
No doubt, I was doing something bad ...
"... It was ...."
"Huh?"
He dyed his cheek slightly red and mutteredwith a small voice.
"I was lost when I was looking for agigantic horse-drawn carriage stop in Rurena street. "
Well, I got it. I sprinkled in spite ofmyself.
“I, I lost my way, is Rurena street far away somuch?”
“I have no sense of direction.”
When you crossed Phillia Boulevard, Iwonder if you did not notice it?
Is not that bad?
“Even when I was in the Kingdom, I have enteredthe isolated city several times by mistake. Once I gestured like this, I cannotdo anything if I keep silent, but actually my inner self was pretty scared.”
"Oh, it"s dangerous, I have to fixit."
I was supposed to take a walk somehow, but Iguessed it might be better for me to guide you seriously.
At least let me tell you the way of the houseand the bus stop. I wonder if you can reach the hotel by yourself.
Even so ... ... Just-san, the image is quitedifferent from yesterday. When I first saw you, I thought that you areadult and cool man, but what do I say now?
That ... ... I feel like an ordinary boy for my age.
There was a little cute place.
"I understand, but by the way, why are you in such a place?"
That reminds me, it is much more unnatural for me to stay in such aplace.
"... Actually, I also got astray. Ahaha."
It"s embarra.s.sing to be deceived by a youngchild, and if I tell the truth the boy may be blamed.
I think it"s okay enough to say to Just-san,but I think that he was desperate.
I do not want him to be caught up because I wasstupid.
That"s why I lied to Natta as I did to him.
"It’s dangerous!"
When you were laughing carelessly, Just-sansaid that with a loud voice.
"Eh, there"
I was surprised because I thought that he wouldlaugh at me. Just-san suppressed his mouth feeling frustratingly.
"Oh, I"m sorry, I did not mean to make aloud voice ..."
"No ...."
"Anyhow, it"s useless. Do not approach anearby place like that. It does not always mean someone will help you"
" ... .... Yes, I will be more careful fromnow on. "
He is seriously worried.
That"s true. Because the fear of anisolated city is learned thoroughly in cla.s.s. It is stupid to get closerregardless of why.
Even if you get lost, even if you are deceived the same thing.
Because it is kindness to tell you totough.
Un. I understand.
"I understand. I will never come close to that neighbour city anymore."
Oh, but I may want to go once more to that clothing store... ...
Trembling. No, I do not!
I am badly out of people, so I have to keepaway from where I think it is dangerous.
Do not come close to danger. What is the manof virtue?
"I’m sorry, I did not mean to preach. I willapologize if I get you angry."
Just-san say sorry when I noticed it.
Maybe he was misunderstood because I was down.
In fact, my thought was also just flying.
"No, no! I am not angry. I am reflectingon my own idiot!"
"So, that"s right!
Yes, yes! For yesterday I was sorry, but if Iimagine that Just-san and Natta would not come, somehow, I feel nervous.
Compared to that, it is not even to getangry. Oh, I remembered with Natta.
"Oh, by the way, my friend was rudeyesterday."
"No, I think it is doubtful, I think it"sa correct judgement. I did not expect it to be suddenly dizzying."
"I"m sorry ...."
"You do not have to apologize"
Just-san is not really angry at all. It"skind of easy.
Then we talked a lot while walking.
About the school life of each other, trivialthings like extension of self-introduction.
Even though I met him for the first time, I wastalking to him amazingly.
"E, Just-san, was born on March 30th."
"If I was born one day late, I will beunder the first grade"
"I am born on April 5, one week earlier, Iwill be in the upper grade.”
Just-san is on one grade upper than me, but ourbirthday is only six days different.
"Well, we are almost like the sameage."
"But I am still a child. Just-san is moremature than me"
“There’s nothing like that, Even Ruche-san hasa feeling like a lady school student as expected.”
I, am I?
"Mo, mou. you have a good complimentcrisp"
“It’s not a compliment.”
Well, if are told with serious face .... Imean, it is embarra.s.sing to be told "Ruche-san".
Because there are no people to call around likethat.
"Oh, that. It’s a good name, and I aregood to me in the honorific"
I say, I just want you to call me.
"If was, Ruche-san also good to call me bythe honorific thing"
"Er, I cannot do that"
"And even when talking, you do not have toworry so much, even if you say older, you are not a senior at school,"
"Even"
"If not, I will always call you Ruche-san"
"Well, kind of I cannot,"
For example, Well then ......
"Well, at the very least, with kun in"
"Yeah, that’s it"
"Well .................. just-kun, ..................”
Uwa~tsu"
"Ahaha, somehow, it’s embarra.s.sing to say something formal,"
"Well, still honorific"
"Mo. It’s impossible right now"
"Well, until Ruche-san call me with no honorific, I also call you Ruche-san"
"Something is cramped. I was just juicing ...... I called Just-kun"
"That"s true, is not it?"
Just-san ... ... it was not, Just-kun killed a funny laugh.
I am also tired and laugh.
If I think about it, it may be the first timeto talk with a guy like this kindly.
I do not mean weak, but since I was at girls’school, I did not have opportunities to meet.
I was not good with boys since I was little.
I am feeling youth ... I feel it.
Uhu. Lifestyle.
Something is fun. I"m happy.
Perhaps I, this person ... ....
I wonder if I might like him.
