Nagai Koto c16

「Nothing really. Just, giving my thanks to someone, somewhere far away.」 (Velt)

「Not much. Here, I bought the ribbon, let's go.」 (Velt)

「Woah there, sorry if I offended you, but that's just how this shop is.」 (Melma)

Sensei was in an argument with a mysterious man. He wore a purple mantle, decorated with the emblem of the Elfashia kingdom. The somewhat small man had long orange hair was tied back. What stood out, though, was the spear leaning against the counter, decorated with skull markings.

Laraana seemed to be shaken and was crying. What is she doing even though she's an adult, I thought, but I’ll forgive her because she looks cute. The problem is the foulmouthed mystery man.

「Hm? Hey, Forna I, I think I remember that guy.」 (Velt)

「Haa? Kid, what's with you coming into this restaurant here spewing shit this and crap that?! And more than that it's horribly good you say? Why don’t you tell me what about my ramen is it that you're saying is disgustingly... good? What?」 (Melma)

「O, oh.」 (Melma)

Ah, we know this troublesome man that's stupid in the head.

「Brother Farga!」 (Forna)

「Well I mean I got away from home after fighting with the king and queen, but I somehow ended up coming back!」 (Farga)

It's been two years. In spite of that, the sharp and condescending glare in his eyes was still going strong. That exchange of words with sensei earlier was just the same as always.

「Hmph, so little sis'. How many kids have you had since I left?」 (Farga)

「Haa? You worthless dumbass who can’t even get it up, it’s cause of your stupid dick and it’s weakass white stuff.」 (Farga)

「Chastity? This damn kid. Not only no kid, you haven’t even had sex yet?」 (Farga)

「Peace? 'Course not. If I'm here, the big man will just chase me away.」 (Farga)

「B, brother, is that true? Then in the meantime, Shakryu destroyed the kingdom of Bolbardie...」 (Forna)

「Velt...」 (Forna)

「Little bro. You don’t need to overthink things. With the defenses at the border of this country, there’s no way that some shitty monster’ll make it to the capital.」 (Farga)

「Besides, I’m here now. I won’t...... I won’t let something like that happen again. Whether or not it’s a demon, the demon king himself or...... even demi-humans.」 (Farga)

I involuntarily clicked my tongue. Farga’s expression didn’t change, but he tightly gripped the fork he was holding.

「Farga, did you hear? About my mom and dad?」 (Velt)

「He really is the prince, and he really is someone good. Well, his tongue and the look in his eyes might make him seem like a mess, but he’s tolerable.」 (Velt)

It was more or less the truth. As a friend of my family, I felt that he was trustworthy. I don't want to turn him into an enemy, though.

But at that time, including me, nobody could have anticipated what was coming.

I was told that I absolutely did not have to do anything, even though the demon lord was coming, but exactly because it was the demon lord, I went all-out.
