387.
Gooooooooo!
The world was burning.
An unquenchable black flame wrapped around the surroundings.
It is a dangerous sea of disaster where you can lose your life just by touching it.
Even as they walked between them, no fear could be seen in the eyes of the gray-haired man and the black-haired woman.
“… … “We’ve finally arrived.”
Kyle muttered as he looked at the black tower burning in the distance.
A huge tower with endless height that seems to pierce the sky.
It was the Tower of Disaster, the home of Erebos, the original evil.
The place where the flames of disaster first ignited.
The final destination of the punitive force.
Killing spirit emanated from Kyle’s eyes.
The nails in my clenched hands were digging into the flesh.
Drop- Drop-
Lisinas said while looking at the blood flowing from Kyle’s hand.
“Kyle, calm down.”
“don’t worry.”
Kyle spread his hands.
Traces of a long, desperate struggle remained all over his hands.
Those scars are proof that even in the midst of despair with no end in sight, you did not give up and continued to reach out for hope.
I suffered such terrible injuries so many times that it was a wonder that my hands remained.
Each time, I managed to recover and grab my weapon.
At first glance, the hand is covered in scars that are just unsightly.
But to the great heroes, it was a hand that meant more to them than anyone else.
***
“I feel it again. “Kyle, your hands are beautiful.”
Before leaving on a journey.
Dweno said, looking at Kyle’s hand holding the glass.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “Hands like this aren’t your style, are they?”
“It’s definitely not my type of hand.”
Dweno looked down at his hands.
Aron was just as scarred as Kyle, and the same was true for Aron.
Lisinas, who was in the rear on the battlefield, also had many wounds on his hands, although not as many as the three others.
Luna also had many wounds, but they were not noticeable as she was wearing gloves or using magic to cover them.
Dweno sipped his drink.
“But isn’t that the hand that brought hope to this world? “Even though it may not be to my taste on the outside, the fact that it has beauty doesn’t change.”
“Gulp-gulp-puha! “I think it’s the first time Dweno has seen Kyle and said she’s beautiful.”
Luna poured the golden liquid contained in a large beer glass down her throat in one go, wiped her mouth, and spoke curiously.
“okay. The only beautiful thing about this guy are his hands. And we all have the same hands.”
“… … Then in the end it’s Dweno. “Are you saying that in your opinion, there is no beauty unique to Kyle?”
Aron tilted his head as he blew on the hot tea.
“of course.”
“What should I do? “A self-proclaimed aesthetician says you are not beautiful.”
“hmm… … Kyle must have something beautiful about him too. Do not give up.”
“These are real. “Do you want to keep evaluating me by your own standards?”
The dwarf nods his head resolutely and Luna giggles.
Seeing Aron genuinely worried, Kyle became enraged and rushed at the three people.
After some commotion, Kyle returned to his seat and rested his chin.
“Everyone is so peaceful that it doesn’t seem like they are about to embark on their final journey.”
Kyle shook his head with a puzzled expression.
No matter what anyone said, it was clear that it would be the worst struggle.
There is absolutely no guarantee that you will succeed.
No, it is a final journey with a higher probability of failure.
Despite facing such a huge ordeal, I could not find any signs of tension among my friends.
Kyle sighed as he looked at Luna, who was trying too hard to beat Dweno.
Aron was also seen being embarrassed and refusing alcohol after being offered alcohol by others.
“I can’t find any sense of tension.”
Lisinas sat down in front of Kyle with a glass of beer and smiled.
“It’s not a bad look. “It’s actually nice to see everyone being hopeful.”
Looking at the bar where the party was held, Lisinas nodded with satisfaction and took a sip of beer in his mouth, showing that his fatigue was gone.
“That’s much better than being scared.”
“What are you doing so late?”
“I came to write a memoir.”
Lisinas rested his chin like Kyle.
“Come to think of it, you and I had a meeting here a long time ago.”
“Is that so?”
Kyle clinked his glass with Lisinas with a sour expression on his face.

Lishinas took a gulp, wiped his mouth and spoke.
“I told you, Kyle.”
“what?”
“We’re going to save the world.”
Kyle burst into laughter as he looked at his friend smiling confidently.
“Yes, yes. “That’s amazing.”
“I kept behaving crookedly in the beginning. Apologize right away.”
“I think I’ve already apologized countless times?”
“That alone is not enough.”
Lishinas snorted and looked at Kyle’s face with a drunken face.
“Yes, yes. I was wrong. “You were right.”
Lisinas smiled in satisfaction while looking at Kyle who was talking as if he was annoyed.
“And I will keep my promise to you.”
“… … ?”
“You promised, right?”
Lisinas smiled with his arms crossed.
“I won’t leave you alone.”
“… … okay.”
Kyle laughed.
“Kyle, you are no longer a survival hero. you.”
Lisinas each-
I laughed.
“It’s a new beginning.”
***
“I’m colder than anyone else.”
Kyle said calmly.
“So much has been lost.”
Kyle looked at Lisinas with sunken eyes.
“I have a lot to carry. So you have to do it.”
“… … .”
“Failure is unacceptable.”
At those words, Lisinas clenched his fist.
“okay.”
Lisinas pursed his lips.
“Don’t worry, Kyle. “I won’t let her bear it alone.”
Lisinas said.
“The promise I made the first time… … “I will protect it.”

Knock knock-
sudden-!
Leo opened his eyes at the sound of a knock.
Leo stood up and cupped his face.
“Wake up, Kyle. “It’s morning.”
Leo got down from the bed at the sound of a voice coming from outside.
‘It’s a big deal. ‘I can’t believe I dreamed about what happened back then.’
After talking last night, Rodia left the inn room.
The Erebos punitive force began yesterday.
Still Leo and Lisinas.
A party with just two people.
In a place like that, we couldn’t suddenly invite Rhodia, who wasn’t scheduled, to join us.
‘If there are other variables in the original incident, there’s no telling how the hero’s world will be twisted.’
No matter what anyone said, Leo overcame this ordeal once.
For Leo, it was like repeating the past.
Therefore, I thought it would be good to clear the world of heroes by excluding variables as much as possible, and Rodia also agreed with this opinion.
Therefore, Rodia decided to join later.
Leo opened the door.
Lisinas was looking up at Leo with his arms crossed.
“Good morning. “Kyle.”
Leo greeted Lisinas, who crossed his arms and greeted him with a somewhat stern expression.
“Okay, good morning.”
Leo smiled and greeted.
Looking at Leo like that, Rishinas looked a little embarrassed.
“why?”
“I haven’t been able to get used to your attitude since yesterday.”
“Can’t you get used to it?”
“You went from being extremely prickly and mean over the past few weeks to becoming a very finicky person overnight.”
Lisinas, showing embarrassment, continued.
“I thought we would fight quite a bit even if we ever ended up in a party with you. “Just today.”
A shadow fell on Lisinas’ face.
“There was a big battle yesterday.”
“… … .”
Leo recalled the past.
From Leo’s point of view, it’s a distant past.
But for those living in this world, it only happened one day ago.
After going through a life-or-death battle, Kyle always drank a lot.
To somehow forcefully shake off the memories of the battlefield.
But not the current Leo.
That person has already disappeared into the distant past.
The person in front of Lisinas now was not a man who lived with empty eyes like a pile of ashes without any hope, but a man who saved the world from the disaster of the beginning, carrying the dream given to him by his colleagues.
In a way, it was natural for even the same person to be unfamiliar.
“Someone taught me.”
“what?”
Leo grinned.
It was the smile that Leo often gave to hero candidates.
“If you never give up and move forward, you can have hope.”
Lisinas blinked at Leo’s words.
“Let’s go have breakfast.”
Leo left the room and went down to the first floor.
Lisinas looked at the back with a blank expression.
Grumbling-
-What is that goofy expression on your face?
White flames flickered on Lisinas’ head, and a palm-sized woman appeared.
Katariu, who was lying on his side with his head in one hand on top of Lisinas, pulled Lisinas’ black hair with his hand.
-It looks a little different.
Luminous, the spirit of brilliance who appeared with a small cloud of light, climbed on Lisinas’ shoulder with a gentle movement.
“what?”
The Phoenix King and the Great Spirit of Light.
Lisinas asked with a puzzled look on the two pledgers’ question.
At that question, Katariu made a pitiful expression.
-Would you like to look in the mirror?
“Why the mirror?”
-Is it the face of a girl you fell in love with at first sight?
“what?! What are you talking about!”
Luminous laughed while looking at Lisinas who was getting upset.
-Do I look good? This is because Rishinath, who was always bound by her beliefs and had no leisure, had the expression of a girl her age.
-It’s a masterpiece, isn’t it?
“It’s not like that!”
Lishinas shouted, then snorted and went down to the first floor.
“I was just surprised that he looked completely different from the surviving hero I knew.”
-So isn’t it good?
Katariu said with a mischievous smile.
“Of course it’s good. “Isn’t it better to look like that than to look like you’ve lived the whole world?”
-What is that look?
“Looks like heroes from fairy tales.”
-That was my pledge’s preference.
“I said no.”
Lisinas grumbled and sent the two pledgers away.
Thump-thump-thump-
Going down the stairs, Lisinas rubbed her left breast.
‘My heart has been pounding since yesterday.’
It was from the moment Leo held her hand.
‘Kyle has changed since then.’
Lisinas clearly noticed the change.
‘Yes, this is just like the hero I had hoped for.’
A person who never gives up and moves forward.
Rishinas, whose thoughts reached that point, smiled secretly.
‘I see. ‘I’ve been waiting for such a hero for a long time.’
***
Lisinas said while eating breakfast.
“Before leaving for the elf forest. “I have work to do.”
“What’s going on?”
“We are forming a punitive force to fight against Silatuna, the monster queen who put a curse on the elf forest.”
Lisinas and Kyle, their first feat, the subjugation of Jormungand.
The feat was not accomplished by just the two of them.
If it weren’t for the helpers who helped Lisinas and Kyle at the time, even those two might have failed.
Powerful guardians of the contemporary Guardron.
This was possible because they held Jormungand’s ankle.
Although they did not leave their names in history, they were colleagues who went through times of despair together.
Originally, it was a punitive force formed by Lisinas to fight against Silatuna.
As they encountered Jormungand, the punitive force also suffered significant damage.
I was satisfied with just having Luna join the party and gave up on the elf forest.
“You must be busy these few days.”
“huh. I will prepare. “You can rest until then.”
Leo rested his chin on Lisinas’ words.
“No, I have some work to do too.”
“A thing to do? Like what?”
Leo laughed at Lisinas’ question.
“contract.”
“contract?”
Lisinas looked slightly embarrassed at the answer.
‘Originally, this is a contract that would have been concluded at a later date. We can meet now.’
A partner who has gone through countless battlefields together.
The leader of Pegasus, called the Pure White King.
‘Albus.’
