66 star bruise




 I didn't know I was the prince of the land: .......
 No, we're not sure yet.
 But it seems certain that it's a possibility.
 Anastasia wants to find out.

 So she insists that we go to the nearest town's boarding house or somewhere in the shade and count the number of moles on each other's body.

I mean, she's just like Mother Militia: ......

"Uh-huh, let's count each other out. I'll show you mine.
 And she rolls up her skirt and shows her inner thighs.
 Lunamaría "must not look
 and blindfold me, but I didn't miss the visual information that came in before I was blindfolded.

...... that holy bruise. Are you a brave man?

 She smiles and affirms.

"I am a tree hero. I am one of the few elves to be named valiant.

That's why you did the meteo thing so easily.

Yeah, well, that's an afterthought.

 My real skill," he continues, "is this.

This.

 From beneath her feet, creeping plant ivy grows.
 It's replaced by tree ivy and in no time it's a simple hut.

 Gazing at it, she pulls my hand away. I wonder if she's going to take me inside and count the moles.

 She's one hell of a rascal, I thought.
 I wonder if Anastasia saw the look on my face and denied it was true.

"I'm not a brave man, but Your Highness has a distinctive mole. There is a star-shaped mole on his right shoulder: ....... I would like to confirm it.

"...... I see.

 If that's the case, I thought it should be here and now, exposed to the light of day.
 I put my bags in place and take off my leather armor. Then I take off my clothes.
 Anastasia lets out, "Wow, you're surprisingly muscular, I want to be held," but she doesn't care and takes off her clothes.
 My right shoulder is exposed.

 And there it is--

 It was not a star-shaped mole, but an old wound.
 Anastasia's expression changes for the first time at the sight of it.

"No, no, no. There should be a star-shaped mole on Master Will's right shoulder.

"Unfortunately, I don't know about that. I fell off a cliff when I was a kid. That's when I got the scar. It was a childhood story, so I don't remember if I had a mole.

"Such an accident is ......

Do you think this proves I'm not a prince?

 Playfully, she wasn't convinced.

"-No, I only know that right now, Master Will doesn't have a star-shaped mole. I believe you are the prince of the land.

 She says in a reformed manner and invites me to come to the capital.

"I do not ask you to ascend the throne. Now you are ill and have no idea what tomorrow holds. Let me be reunited with my departed son for the last time.

"......, but I'm not.

"Pretend is all you need. All you have to do is pretend to be my son. Then the king will be at peace.

"............

 When you talk to me like that, I can't stop following you.
 I have a promise to go to the capital.

Your Highness is the man.

It's Will.

That's what I'm talking about, Master Will.

 With that said, there is a new addition to the group.

 You will travel with the bewitching daughter of the Elder Elves, a girl named Anastasia who holds the title of Tree Hero.

 Now, Anastasia has joined the group, but her subordinate, the Knights of the Kingsguard, has been prematurely disbanded.

'I thought you were going to escort me to the capital?

No, it's better not to do that.

 Anastasia shook her head.

We got into a battle with the pagans earlier because we stood out. We are charged with the search for the prince, but we are also charged with the search for the savior.

"Savior: ......

Yes. We must find him as soon as possible and drive the demon king from our world. We must find him and rid this world of the demon king as soon as possible.

I'm here for the man.

 Lunamaria says.
 Anastasia looks at Lunamaria with interest.

"It is Master Will who will save this world. That's the oracle I'm entrusted with.

...... Are you a priestess of the Mother Goddess. I see that Master Will is a prince and a savior at the same time.



 I think I said I had to get a baby as soon as possible, but it's probably just my imagination.
 I say again that I'm not the Messiah.

I'm not that kind of a man. I'm Table Mountain's Will. I'm the son of the gods.

 So I said that and headed for the street to lead the way.

 I knew that if I stayed here, Anastasia and Lunamaria would start the "Will" battle.

 Maybe in the future I will save the world, but I won't be alone.  It will be with the help of many, and as a human being in this world I will only defeat evil.
 That's why I don't think it's appropriate to be called the savior of the world.
