「Don’t be conceited There is always someone better than you It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re the Hero」

I release the pressure, and poke Apprentice No1 on the forehead with oes for the scout unit They perforth they were killed in action It is not wrong totree if you feel responsible for their deaths Just because you’re the Hero, if you think that reatly mistaken, okay? Or perhaps, you think it would have been better if you yourself went out to scout – you’re not having suchthe duty of the ones who died, and in addition, to imply that they were too incoreatest insult It couldn’t possibly be that the Hero of all people has such degrading and despicable thinking」

It see to say in response to what I pointed out He hung his head without speaking He’s always been like this He tries to shoulder everything That every time someone dies in war it becootten into thisthat he can’t be satisfied unless he can save everyone Such a thing, would be ih

「Julius」

Instead of calling him Apprentice No1, I call him by his name Julius slowly raises his head

「Remember to think about yourself on the battlefield」

When people becos, they then may not survive even when they could have

「There is always someone better than you You should well understand that yourself, right? Only the strong can protect others You are weak So weak you can’t even defeat 」

To Julius’s tih

「There are ones better than ht?」

Since Julius likewise knows about “that person”, he should understand An existence with such strength that us huot it? If it becoerous then run aithout hesitation You arethe Hero escape, it would be far worse for the Hero to die Get that into your skull」

「It’ll be fine I shall protect Julius after all」

The brat is spouting so that come from someone more feeble than Apprentice No1 isn’t persuasive at all」

「Ouch, that’s harsh!」

I’m sure he took a playful attitude here in order to improve the mood To raise his spirits so that Apprentice No1 won’t head towards the battlefield depressed His fighting strength is a bit unreliable, but he’s a good friend

「Heheh Well, I guess I’ll have you protect him then」

「You bet Please be at ease」

As the brat intended, it seems that Apprentice No1 cheered up a bit

「Even so, Ronant-saot a cute side to you」

「I, I’!」

What the heck is this guy saying!? I thought he was a good friend of Apprentice No1, but it looks like I was 」

「I’ back now!」

「Teacher, thank you for everything today」

「Humph」

I activated teleport, and left the place

That was, the final farewell between Julius and I
