Goblin Village, Hibiki’s Residence

—–

The negotiations with the Gerb Tribe had ended, and I can finally take a breather as I greeted the morning.

And then there was Yakuu who was cleaning the house in high spirits which I had never seen before.

“Yakuu, you’re in such a good mood, did something good happen recently?” (Hibiki)

“Yeah, onii-chan will come back home soon.” (Yakuu)

“Th-that’s right. When they come home safely, we will have a party together at the plaza.” (Hibiki)

“Really!? I will do my best to help with the preparations!!” (Yakuu)

“Sure, I will look forward to your help.” (Hibiki)

After she said that, she resumed her cleaning work.

“Crap, I forgot about it.” (Hibiki)

He rushed to meet Amy to confirm it.

“Let’s see, if there is no delay, they will arrive around evening today, I think?” (Amy)

Amy hadn’t forgotten about it. Even after a lot of things happened, she hadn’t forgotten.

After I discussed the matter with Amy, we decided to hold a party to celebrate their return.

Welburg, Adventurer’s Guild

—–

That evening, the “Goblin Transport” arrived as scheduled.

They must stop by the Adventurer’s Guild first to give their report, so I took Yakuu who couldn’t hide her excitement to wait for them in front of the Adventurer’s Guild.

“I’m home, Yakuu!!” (Sai)

“Welcome back onii-chan!!” (Yakuu)

Their sibling love could make your heart warm and fuzzy.

Sai firmly caught Yakuu who leapt at him. For some reason the crowd applauded upon that scene, some of them cried in joy.

Well, my tears began to well up as well.

“Good work out there, Sai.” (Hibiki)

“Oh, Hibiki. I come back in one piece. Or rather, I didn’t do anything out there actually.” (Sai)

Of course, the goblins I picked for guards were excellent. They won’t let monsters nor bandits near the carriage.

“There are a lot of customers who look forward to using our ‘Goblin Transport’ next time, I was more tired out by battling it out with the merchants.” (Sai)

It seems our next job had been decided. The luggage from Welburg was mainly stored at the Alchemist’s Guild, so we could depart at any time we wanted.

“I bet you have a lot to talk about, I’ll hear it in the village later.” (Hibiki)

“That would be great, I want to relax in the bath today to ease my fatigue.” (Sai)

Sai said that the inside of the carriage was not bad, but he couldn’t resist the combination of a bath and bed and then laughed.

“I see, then go ahead and rest…” (Hibiki)

“Nii-chan, I will wash your back!!” (Yakuu)

Yakuu said that to Sai while interrupting me.

“N-no, I’m good.” (Sai)

“But, you are tired right nii-chan?” (Yakuu)

“W-well, yeah, I am tired.” (Sai)

“Then let me wash your back!!” (Yakuu)

Because the meal situation had improved, Yakuu had become more plump compared to before.

But of course, it was within the normal range for a 10 year old child.

Moreover, she took a bath everyday and had become pretty. She wore a cute skirt today, so with this nobody would mistake her as a boy.

It also should be noted that “washing one’s back” in this world where a bathing custom was not well-known, was a SFW event.

I bet everyone imagined a “naked Sai sitting in the bathtub” and “Yakuu with clothes sitting on the tub’s side washing Sai’s back”.

That was just the continuation of the touching reunion of siblings.

In other words…

“Isn’t that great! Get your back washed properly by your little sister.” (crowd)

“What a wonderful little sister who cares about her big brother.” (crowd)

Sai will get crushed by the opinions from the crowd.

“N-no, but.” (Sai)

It was Sai’s last effort of resistance…

“Nii-chan, do you hate me now?”

And thus Sai surrendered unconditionally to this line Yakuu said with teary eyes.

“Aren’t you glad Sai?” (?)

I know the face of the man who came out from the carriage.

“Yo Hibiki, long time no see.” (?)

“Lux!?” (Hibiki)

It was Hylux Braveheart, the Hero candidate, who waved his hand and smiled towards me.

—–

Goblin Village

—–

After we parted with Lux, I heard rumors about his one-man-army achievement when protecting Brett Town.

After the incident, as per his request and the Church’s will, he became the symbol of the town’s revival and the Hero candidate of Baara and Seira.

And because of that he has been called the “Twin Sky Hero”.

Though Baara wasn’t supposed to be a selection priest, there must be something going on here.

Sai told me about this. Though the person in question had a sour face when I talked about that topic.

His equipment changed from leather armor to a metal-based armor now.

It was said to be made of sacred silver that was sanctified by the Church.

“They will give the orichalcum armor to me after I officially become the Hero. I never asked for one though.” (Lux)

Silver Armor of Light

Effect:

【Silver of Light】

Increased resistance to dark magic.

—–

“Silver of Light” is like the pool grass, silver that has absorbed light magic.

“And then? What is the ‘Hero of Brett’ doing here on his own?” (Hibiki)

“You’re one to talk, aren’t you also the ‘Hero of Welburg’?” (Lux)

Lux said with a smile on his face. After I glared at him, he shrugged his shoulders and began to talk.

“There will be a royal contest in Brett soon. All the participants are Hero candidates.” (Lux) (ED Note: 御前試合: Royal contest: http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Gozen_Match)

“Hmm, you’re gonna participate in that contest?” (Hibiki)

“Yeah. Hibiki, will you participate in that contest?” (Lux)

“Excuse me?” (Hibiki)

“In the first place, this royal contest is being held because the Hero has not been chosen yet and the royals are impatient by that fact.” (Lux)

In other words, this contest was held to give pressure to Lux who had the most power in Brett.

However, it was a waste to throw away all the other candidates, so they might as well participate in the contest.

“Why must I participate in that contest, huh?” (Hibiki)

“Isn’t that obvious? You are the one who predicted the peril of Welburg and decided to stay here, then proceeded to resolve it.” (Lux)

No, that was just a coincidence. I thought it would be a pain in the ass in Brett, so I decided to stay in Welburg.

“Also, you found a demon who infiltrated the city and defeated it.” (Lux)

I DIDN’T defeat him. I just SEALED him. He was still ALIVE.

“Also, I heard from Sai, you took custody of the vampires who had suffered discrimination.” (Lux)

Rather than took custody, they just followed me on their own, or rather I used them at my disposal.

“And you got Lizardmen in your village too. I heard they are famous for being a species that are hard to please.” (Lux)

That too, they were the ones who approached me first.

“You don’t have to participate as a Hero candidate. I just want the other Hero candidates to know how amazing you are.” (Lux)

Participating in that contest, what if they decided to appoint me as a Hero candidate.

“There is no merit in me participating in that contest.” (Hibiki)

“I thought you would say that. If you are able to place in the top ranks, they will give you the Kingdom’s treasure.” (Lux)

The winner will be given the Holy Sword, Light of Hope.

The runner-up will be given the Dragon Slayer Sword.

3rd place will be given the Ring of Stardust.

4th~8th place will be given 30 pieces of gold.

“Ring of Stardust?” (Hibiki)

“Hm? That’s what caught your interest?” (Lux)

“Nah, I just thought it was weird that the winner and runner-up got a sword, but 3rd place got a ring.” (Hibiki)

“I see. I heard the ring will grant the wearer infinite power.” (Lux)

I dodged the bullet just now. But, I want this “Ring of Stardust”.

I thought it was a coincidence for me to get the Pendant of Stardust during that incident with Zir, but with how they kept popping up before me I wonder if there was something to this.

『YES』(Oracle)

There does seem to be something going on.

But again, I hadn’t wanted to attract attention by participating in this contest.

I must think of something for this.
