Huh, I'm tired. ......

I wonder if I'm sloppy despite being a girl, such a thought crossed my mind, but I couldn't resist the exhaustion building up in my body, and I, Narsena, collapsed to the bed in my room with a sloppy voice.
The current time is late in the evening, as I returned from having dinner with my brother after redeeming the lower level materials, so it was already late in the evening.
Thanks to the fact that I went to a shop where I knew my brother's face, I was able to finish redeeming the materials in less time than other places, but it still took me some time.
And because of that, even though I wasn't that tired when I came back from the labyrinth, I was currently exhausted.

''Ehehe. Your brother was laughing. ......

But even though I was that tired, I had a satisfied smile on my face.
It's true that a lot of things had happened today, but my brother still seemed somewhat happy to see me.

''Ehehe!''

ー ー If I'm not mistaken, I have a feeling that he was happy about me getting into the party, too.

With that thought in mind, I flapped my legs on the bed excitedly.
His mouth was loose, and even the earliest thought that I was tired had temporarily slipped my mind.

It was such a pleasure for me to know that my brother was happy about me.

Even more so because until then I had been convinced that I might not be necessary for him.

In the beginning, I had come to him with the feeling that I would be the one to protect him.
Yes, I thought I was stronger than my brother.

''Brother, you were really, really strong. ......

...... but that was a mistake.
Your brother was so much more active in the labyrinth than I was.

It was a growth that was incomparable to what I had before. ......




◇ ◇ ◇.




In fact, this isn't the first time I've met my brother today.
Perhaps he didn't remember from the way he looked today, but I was rescued by him once, and the scene is still stuck in my head.
And the scene from that time is still stuck in my head.

Even though I was battered and not very strong, my brother was desperately fighting to protect me.

Elementary Healing Magic 《Heal》 It is not a useful magic.
After all, that magic is never a battle magic, which only increases the healing ability of the opponent you cast it on.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a good deal more to say about it.

But when I saw my brother fighting desperately against the monsters, even though he can only use such magic, I made a decision.

He was lamenting that although he was an adventurer, he didn't have anyone to join him.
So I decided to become much stronger and join his party.
Then I would protect him and get lots of praise from him.

That's why I worked so hard after my brother saved me that day.
I further honed my excellent skills through rigorous training and forced my parents to admit that they were opposed to me.
In addition, I used the family's handlers to check every rumor about the defective healer, your brother, in the guild.
...... While he was training, he couldn't help but wonder if his brother was safe or not.

So when your brother entered a second-rate party that was famous for its fraudulent activities, he was in a hurry to get to him and try to get to him.
Even after that party became top-notch, he trained hard to become an adventurer as soon as possible due to the way his brother treated him so badly.

And because of that, I was elated when I heard that my brother had been banished from that scam party on the day I was finally able to become an adventurer.
The timing of such a timing can only be fate, and I made up my mind that I would comfort my brother who was banned from the party.

...... That's why I was stunned to see my brother getting so strong.

You're going to be able to find out if your brother has become unthinkably strong since the last time you met him.
No, he had become stronger, and that's not all.

His extensive knowledge of searching for enemies, disarming traps, and the weaknesses of demonic beasts, as well as his healing magic skills that healed me in an instant when I was injured, even though he should only be able to use 《Heal》.

All of them were top-notch.
...... And when I saw that brother, I became depressed.

I've been planning to protect my brother all along, but he was even stronger than I was and I realized that I was smug.

With that strength of your brother's, you could probably get into any party.
Yes, I might even be invited to that brave party.
Then I might be the person your brother doesn't want.
Thinking about that, I had an illusion that my eyes were going dark.

...... But I knew that was something to celebrate, I knew that it was something to celebrate.

Because I knew how hard your brother had worked to make it happen.
So I told myself that no matter how much they said they didn't want me, I should always celebrate the fact that my brother's efforts had paid off. ......


ー ー So I was furious with that receptionist's attitude.


I've known people like that woman.
She's the kind of person who, if she thinks they're lower than her, will despise the other person as much as she wants and not feel guilty about it at all.

And there was no way I could allow such a person to say good things about my brother who had worked so hard for such a person.

That's why I ran out of the guild emotionally, and for a moment afterwards I was ashamed of my selfish behavior.

But instead of blaming me, my brother smiled and thanked me.

But instead of blaming me, he smiled and thanked me.

"Ehehehe!

The thought of that moment causes me to loose my face again and laugh slackly.
Maybe I'd hear voices next to me, but I didn't even care about that right now.

'But why is that ......?'

But then a question arose in my mind.
It was about the scam party that my brother was a member of.

...... Why did the people at the previous party kick out someone as great as your brother?

The question that occurred to me was never answered and I soon forgot about the scam party: ......
