Huh, that was beautiful.

　Next to me, May muttered enthralled at the carriage that was going around the royal capital yesterday. It was really beautiful. I even froze in my tracks.

''Haku thinks so too, doesn't he?''

Hmmm ... that was really beautiful.

　I nodded my head, and May smiled with a smirk, "Yeah, right... I'm a little jealous of May. Because she can express her emotions honestly.

　Because of my old experiments, I hardly show my joy and anger anymore. I always have a blank expression on my face. Normally it's fine, but I wish I could smile at times like this.

'Oh, but I'm looking forward to it too! Next week I'll be with Roy........ehehehe~

　May grimaces at the thought of next week. Next week, there will be a wedding in the Arcadia Papal States. At that time, it is said that May, Roy and a noblewoman named McClure, whose hometown is Arcadia, will also be married there.

''I'm looking forward to it.......May.......''

Yeah, I'm so excited!　Oh, speaking of which, what about Haku?

How...?

　I turn to May and tilt my head in her direction. This is because I didn't understand what May was saying.

'Because Haku likes your brother, right?　Don't you ever feel like you're with everyone else?

　I think about May's words. I certainly love Onii. This life was saved by Onii. I can do anything for onii, but I don't know if I want to be like everyone else.

　But when I think about whether I want to be like everyone else, I wonder if it's okay for me, dyed in blood like this, to be with Onii.

　Besides, I don't think Onii is thinking about that either. If I were to break in now and destroy my relationship with everyone and my relationship with Onii, I'd rather.......

''........Ku!　.... ha... k!　Huck!　What's up, do you just zonk out?

"I'm sorry I was just thinking about something.

You scared the shit out of me. You scared the life out of me.

Sorry.

　May then put away the dishes on her desk and headed off to the royal palace. The other kids played outside and Roy went to the Marquis, who had been there before. It's just me now.

　........What should I do? Ferris Hey has one last wedding to prepare for, so I'll go accept the request alone. Once we get married, Ferris will not be able to accept the request, so I'll have to do it alone.

　If we decide on that, let's get ready for it. I equip my own armor and hold the Bloody Cross, a dagger with a bright red body, and Soulclaw, a dagger with a jet black body, at my waist. My most precious thing.

　I equip my other spare daggers and am ready to go. I leave the orphanage that May and the others are running. The kids also smile and wave at me, but I give them a blank look.

　They've gotten used to it now, but I don't remember them crying in my face the first time they saw me. It's one of my bitterest memories.

　While thinking about that, I head to the guild. This is the road I always take, so the aunts and uncles I meet smile at me and say hello.

　They are good people who are kind to me, even though I have an expressionless face. While bowing to such people, I finally arrive at the Adventurer's Guild. Once inside, everyone is looking for various requests and so on.

　I used to get tangled up in this place before, but after the advisor who is Onii's master came, that didn't happen anymore. It's because if someone does such a thing, there's a hell of a special training session waiting for you.

''Oh, Haku-chan, it's so rare that you're alone today... oh, right, Ferris-sama has a wedding to prepare for, right?''

　When I was trying to find a request too, the person who spoke to me was Mia, the receptionist for this guild. She's the exclusive receptionist for Ferris Hey and me. It seems she came here as an acquaintance of the guild master.

''Hmm........so I'm alone today.

''Umm, I know Haku-chan is strong, but why don't you team up with someone else, even if it's temporary?　There aren't many strong demons around here, but it's still not a sure thing. Before, it was a surprise to see an orc general in the forest.

　Mia looks at me with concern. I appreciate that offer, but no one wants to team up with me, and I have no intention of teaming up with anyone other than Ferris hey. When I shake my head, Mia may have understood, but she says, "I knew it.

　I went straight to the bulletin board where the request was posted, and there was a boy and girl about my age looking at the board.

　A boy in armor with a shield and sword, taller than the other kids by a head, a boy with a bow on his back, and a girl in a robe with a staff. I've never seen them before, so they must be new to the game.

　I look for a request beside them. My rank right now is B, so I'm looking for a request among them, and the boy in armor beside them.

'You, that's where the B-ranked requests come in. I can't take it with your current rank.

　And that's what he said. He looks at me as if I'm not wrong. But I don't want to bother with it, so I just peel off the request.

　What I took was a collection of Borazon crab crabs. The Borazon crab is about three meters in size, and its carapace is so hard that if it were caught between the scissors, it would cut off not only its arms but also its body.

　However, the borazon crab's carapace was not all hard, but it had a few millimeters of softness in some parts. If you aim at the soft part, you can beat it. It's extremely difficult to aim there, though.

　Ferris Hey gave up halfway through and was trying to destroy the shell by force. I took it down instead, though.

　When I was about to head to the reception desk where Mia was with my request form.

Wait, my dear. I'm telling you that the request form you took is wrong.

　The boy grabbed me by the shoulders I can't wait to get to my request. I don't want you to get in my way. So I tried to shake off the hand on my shoulder and there it was.

Well, Haku, it's unusual for you to be alone.

　My advisor came to me. I'm not very good at this person, to be honest. I have a guilt for coming to kill this man myself, and he was easily contained at the time.

"You want me to work alone today?

Mmm, Ferris, get ready.

I see. Then do you want me to come along?　I'm too stiff to stay indoors all the time, and I just wanted to get some exercise.

　After saying that, the advisor snatches the request out of my hand.

Those useless hard crabs?

　After saying that, the advisor quickly took the request form to Mia's place. I haven't said anything yet, but I'm supposed to go with you.

Well, let's go, Haku. Oh, and the boys. He may look like this, but he's a B-ranked adventurer, so don't worry.

　The boys look at me and my advisor over and over again, their mouths cracking up at the words of their advisor. He was the one who said it for my benefit, albeit mistakenly.

'Thanks....'

　I thank him in passing. The advisor looks at me and pulls a large sword from the item ring and carries it on his back.

The best way to do that is to have a good time. I'll listen to you because you seem to be having some trouble.

　.........Ugh, they know I'm troubled. I see the advisor leaving the guild with enthusiasm, and Mia waving at me, and I reluctantly end up following the advisor.
