Chapter Y1 (2/2)

I'm this superior is because I have the Hero title that reinforce my status.

If I don't have the Hero title, I still won't be defeated, but I will be surpassed soon.

No, he has talent to that extent.

Perhaps, he can even catch up with me who have the Hero title, and maybe surpass me.

I want to avoid that because my honor as the older brother will collapse.

Especially, Shun who seems to respect me. He might not be able to recover from the shock if he know that he's disillusioned.

This is a grave situation.

I should train over again, so that I won't lose to my younger brother and younger sister.

Let's do so.

「What are you agreeing alone?」

「I can't say it, it's not easy to keep the older brother's dignity」

Come to think of it, Shun also seems to try to keep his dignity to Sue.

That's succeeded.

Sue is actually clinging to Shun, and she's even jealous of me.

Although she will part with her older brother once she reaches the appropriate age, she is very cute that she becomes angry whenever her loved older brother was taken away.

「I did a terrible thing on them」

Bitterness floats on Father's face.

Both of them are born immediately after the death of the previous Hero-sama.

I succeeded the Hero title at the same time.

The previous Hero-sama which no one knows his whereabouts and his activity was a mystery, suddenly dies.

I became the new Hero.

The increase of the Demons' movement suddenly.

Those come in succession, so Father didn't have the time to accompany those two.

Although Father is a person who values family, before that, he is the king.

It's necessary to give priorities to the country.

Father worries about that.

「It can't be helped. At that time, various things come in succession, so there's nothing that can be done」

「However, those two have never hug me once.

I think that's the precise answer」

「It's alright. Those two will surely understand once time passed」

「I hope so」

Father drinks the sake with a sad face.

「To be honest, there are times when I'm irritated by this position as the king. Not only those two. Julius, it's the same for you. I don't want you who's my son to shoulder such important title called Hero. However, as a king, I have no choice but to tell you to go. Although it might be correct as the king, I'm disqualified as a father」

Father spits out his accumulated feelings together with a really heavy sigh.

「Father. I'm proud of being the Hero. Therefore, please don't say that in such manner. In the first place, if you take away the Hero from me, nothing will remain in me」

「That's not true」

「No. I don't have the knowledge to be related to the politics like Brother, I don't have the belief that pierce myself like Leston and I can't marry into a family like Sister.

Speaking of what I can do, I can only swing my sword as the Hero for the people. Therefore, there's no need to worry about it. Because I'm doing the best I can do for myself」

「Leston is just living his life on his own way」

「Sure is」

Both of us leaked a smile.

Father, you are a very great father from my point of view.

Therefore, I will keep working as the Hero to become Father's help.
