The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

I can predict why they dumped me, but I can't help talking about it.

That's not what I'm supposed to be asking you right now.

"When I was ten. We were dumped. I woke up in a strange place. From then on I lived desperately. My sister and I lived every day in a slum."

"... is that right? Master Manicia didn't tell me that much. You said you picked it up at the noble house."

Life in a slum is never a good thing.

Plus, people from slums can be hated.

That's probably why I didn't want to talk to Luna.

"I've lived taking things away from the slums. So I've earned Manichea's medication and food."

"So how did you get the aristocrats to pick it up?"

"... I really couldn't get my money ready and set it up against noblemen. The escort almost caught me, and I remembered my face."

"… So, what's wrong?"

"I managed to escape from that escort. But the chaser will be here soon. We got caught.... I thought it sprinkled well, but only then..."

"... Was I? So what about you two?"

"I got it picked up."

"Hey, how did that happen?!?"

I laugh bitterly at the reaction as expected.

That's probably what happened to me, too, on the listener's side.

"You praised me for everything."

"... I see"

"So, from then on, I took care of everything - when I was 15, I was asked if I was going to be a knight or an adventurer."

"Knight, is it?"

"That's right. It's a fine profession that can only be as much a child of a nobleman and a wealthy house. It's just that I became an adventurer to cure Manichia. The man who picked me up gave me his back that if he made up his mind, he'd do it right."

As much as I can, I still owe the house my favor when I'm taken care of.

When demons appear in his territory, I go to help him crusade, to a certain extent.

"... so"

Luna tied her lips tight.

I was talking, and I remembered.

Manichia asked me. 'Are you sure you won't be a knight?'.

Of course I said I wouldn't be a knight. If you can help Manichia, the adventurer is more likely.

Speaking of which... it could have been since about that time.

"Manichia and I got along badly, maybe when I became adventurers. I'm flying around to find the Book of Demons... and maybe I'm lonely and I'm in a rebellion or something?"

……

"Manichia may not like me, but that's okay. I'll cure Manicia, that's all."

I'll find another party after this rest.

"I know so much, and how come the master hasn't noticed how Manichia feels, so it's awesome"

Luna raised her voice.

Hey, what is it?

Did I say something that would piss her off?

"What do you mean?"

"Master Manicia doesn't hate the Master.... I liked the master."

Is that true? I hid a mouth that seemed unintentionally frightening.

"But then why... are you always so angry?"

"... he said he wanted his master to live free"

"Free?"

"Yes.... Master Manicia said, 'My brother's life is becoming a mess because of me'"

That's not true.

Because I have Manichia, I enjoy living every day.

It's just, yeah.

That kind of thing, can you also capture it?

"For once, talk to Master Manicia.... I have no family. So...... I can only guess how you two feel. But... aren't you going to stay close to family?"

"... but yeah. I talked to Manichia a long time ago."

I've talked similar to that.

At night, Manicia was often anxious when it was time to go to bed.

We stayed together until she fell asleep, and they always asked me.

'Brother, am I not annoyed?',.

Of course, he answered, "I don't think it's annoying," and hugged her all the time, holding her head.

"I've told him many times. Happiness for me is that Manichia will be able to run around fine."

"... then talk to me again. I'll talk to Manichea, too."

……

... Unlike old times, bumping words so honest from the front stinks of light.

That, too, is the family they've always been with.

Like Luna, it's hard to tell everything honestly.

It's time for noon.

"... we'll see about that later. It's noon and we're going back."

……

Luna swells her cheeks in a muffled manner.

Her kindness hurts now.

Put the purchased ingredients in the Devil's Cold Storage, which is co-located at home, and then head back to the front door.

Luna opened the door to her home and waited.

"... what's going on?"

"It's nothing. Follow me quietly."

No, that's all there is.

It's just that she's trying to do something in a serious way.

I'm used to erasing the signs.

Luna's used to it, too.

We walk like fucking mud.

When I walked into the living room, I heard him talking.

It's from Manichia's room. Are you with Nin?

Their voices are leaking out of a slightly open door gap.

Luna approached there.

"Then we've been together for a long time."

"Yes. Your brother always cares about me."

The voice belonged to Manichia.

Not that I don't like it, but a happy voice.

... I didn't think Manichia would say that.

Maybe he's also smiling.

Maybe what Luna was talking about earlier is true.

Still, if you like me the way I used to, as long as I'm happy for you as a brother.

That's all right.

It's enough to know how that feels.

You shouldn't eavesdrop on the feelings Manichia is desperately hiding here.

That's an excuse, I turn my back to run away.

But he grabbed a mark and an arm. It's Luna. I'm sure both eyes are on me.

"But we're not friends now? Or does it feel like Manichia hates it unilaterally?"

"Is that... does Nin like your brother?"

What are you talking about? That sister!

"Hey, why are you saying that all of a sudden?!? Where was that element in the current story?!?"

Nin's hasty voice.

That's not something I can listen to either.

I want to escape. But I can't escape Luna's hand.

"... a little, I was wondering. I didn't think it was possible to come all the way to this town without being very close."

"Well, that's... well, I'm close... What's that?"

"Then. Will you get me a brother?"

I couldn't help but think after Nin blew something out.

If I had been drinking water, I would have erupted.

"So why are you talking like that?!?"

"... I don't want you to come to me."

"... why not. Is Rude doing his best for you?"

"That's what I hate!"

Manichia vandalized her voice.

"... your brother is trying to help me with his life. That's crazy. Your brother has a brother's happiness.... I don't want to waste your brother's life for me.... Brother, I could have been a knight, but I chose an adventurer. Mine, for... for me or something"

"Is that why you had that attitude?"

Calm down, to calm you down, Nin says.

"Yes... it is. I'm sure your brother's sick of me."

It was a sad voice somewhere.

It was exactly what Luna said.

View Luna. She lays her eyes down, then she shifts her gaze.

... So far, as Luna planned?

"... it's a family of two. I can't watch the two of you get along superficially. Especially, I didn't like that Master Manicia was suffering. I wanted to do something."

"but... it"

"Now, at this time, you should be able to do it"

When I was having trouble responding, Nin vandalized my voice.

"I don't think so. That's not what he cares about."

... No, I cared.

I started washing my body often because of my body odor or something like that, and try to wash it with herbs so that the laundry and other odors don't linger.

I even asked the lady who threw the party a lot.

I was asking Nin anyway.

"That's not true. My brother... I'm sure he doesn't like me anymore"

"He always seemed to enjoy talking about you. She has a pretty sister, she definitely wants to help. Honestly, that's all you can say. I envied you."

"... well, is that right? That's all your brother thought about me."

Naturally.

She's the sister I've spent all my life with since I was a little girl.

... my own happiness, huh?

I never even thought about that.

I want to cure Manichia's body. This is the undisputed heart. When that comes true, I'll be happy.

But Manicia is not satisfied with that alone. It's hard.

"Master, I'm coming."

What, are you serious?

Exactly, even though we've been through the training ground many times before, I can't think of a way to attack this situation.

I don't like it, if I don't like it, I pull my arm like a waste.

but Luna pulls me like that.

And because Luna is something that inadvertently helps...

"Wow!?"

"Ah!?"

I fell. I fell off my back trying to hold Luna so she wouldn't hurt her body.

You've lost a little skin.

Luna's head hits clean everywhere. It was helpful to have a skin.

That's just the sound, they both notice and come this way.

"To, brother...... and Luna too. When did you come back?"

Manichia quickly sharpened her expression.

He seems a little in a hurry. That's cute again.

"No, just now."

"From the beginning. I was listening to you two."

Luna, it's an order, shut up.

That being said, I can't put it in my mouth.

Manichia's face turns red.

Shame at first, then quickly turns to anger.

Nin looks blatant somewhere.

Because he even laughs so he doesn't look like Manichia.

... Nin and Luna were glue, weren't they?

I immediately realized the situation, but Manichia grabbed my cheek.

"Brother."

"... what"

"Did you hear that?"

"... right"

Nodding after being lost, her face turned bright red.

"Wow, forget it!"

She's been thoughtful and head pounding.

A shock came through my head, but to this extent, it's a mess.

It was Manichia who fell behind me.

I turned my eyes and carried her in a hurry.
