c67: Interlude Sad Blue Death God

Since I can remember, life is conflict

For the most part I have no memories of my parents

By the ti aimlessly in the outskirts of the royal capital

The one who tookon the streets, was a church’s minister-sama who could definitely not be called affluent

An extremely kind person, he provided for many other children who had lost their relatives as well as myself

The lifestyle in the church was, a harsh one

The number of rooms weren’t sufficient, in narrow rooether

Also, for food once a day was normal, our stomaches were always empty

Even within this, because studies are important ere told to study every day

Empty stomach, studies that I didn’t want to do forced onto me

With me included the children’s discontent with the minister-sama who looked after them became exacerbated

However, we noticed that since soo, minister-sama’s cheeks had become hollow

We noticed that, his body had shrunk one size compared to the time e first met

(If so, isn’t done)

To the extent I thought that, at so with me and, that worn out church

That, unco could be done

Thinking back that I’d practiced the bow for self defense was fortuitous

While vague, therained in my body

Because before cos I could be said to possess, were that bow and that technique

Thinking perhaps, this bow ht be a memento of my parents

On a certain day, I took a dust covered itee room, I obtained it

「Ooh, Ai that bow」

Thekindly

I realized――I didn’t have much time

「Nn, slight, adventure work」

「That so, do it so it doesn’t turn overly late」

「Roger」

Leaving the church built outside the royal capital’s walls, I faced the area outside of town and hurried

Partway, the towering castle walls caught my eye

The people within that, should surely have a good lifestyle

「……Wait for me, everyone」

With my oer, I will save everyone

Having decided that, I set out outside

By defeating a ed for money

By defeating animals that weren’t like that, I obtained food to survive the day

Pulling the string, carrying arrows rasslands on the outskirts of the royal capital

Looking at countless test shots, the force isn’t a problem

After that it depends on me

「――Ow」

Since long ago, when I concentrated I could sense much further than other people

Therefore finding prey was fast

Bullet Wolf:LV5

The eneed

Monster

My pulse leaped up

The enemy hasn’t noticed me

By this one shot, I’ll end it

Drawing ht, I aimed well――

(――It hit!)

I released the arrow, into the wolf’s body

And so I closed in on the wolf that hadn’t noticed me yet, and then――――missed

I stabbed the ground directly in front of the wolf

Then the startled wolf ju up――finally confirmed my presence

Just as its na toward me like a bullet

「U, ua…… Come, theeeeen!」

Recklessly, I released an arrow

Without taking aim, fearfully, fearfully, I desperately released an arrow

That everything, completely left me

「Why! Why won’t it hit!?」

When the wolf approached just before my eye, I’d already panicked

The wolf faced , as it further accelerated its velocity it rammed forward

「――Aggu」

My breath, stopped

Sky and earth reversed

Flying in the air, and so, a round

「――tsu」

My voice didn’t come out

――It hurts it hurts hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it huurts!

For a round due to the overly sharp pain

The wolf cautiously gazed at me as such, from there it jumped in to finish me

Opening its massive mouth, to bite my windpipe to shreds

――Minister-sama and, everyone’s faces came into my mind

「――Don’t, mess with me」

Within the edmy bow in completely

The wolf that cas

Froushed out

「Over here is, not, prey」

Fro, and mounted an arrow

I can’t get out

Even so eat this

「Here is your, meal!!」

From the wolf’s massive mouth, I released an arrow

The one strike piercing it obviously caused the opponent a fatal injury

The wolf melted away like a phantasm

In that place, a wolf’s pelt remained

「Success…… with this, I can buy, bread」

I grabbed that pelt with a blood covered hand, while pulling my body I returned to the church

As a result that day, I had the returnedfell

And so I apologized, and expressed gratitude

Since then it beca with me

Although our livelihood becae

Such a livelihood continued for several years――――The minister-sama died

Minister-sauely come

I was surprised that even ht I have to be reliable for the sobbing children and cheered up

「Aim…… from here, ill you do」

「Nn, don’t worry, Rana I leave the children to you Since regarding money――I’ll collect it」

I was senior and, at the sae and raised within the church in the same manner there was Rana

The two of us, pledged to look after the young orphans

Rana could use ic

After she received the basics froathered practice as a sister, we received permission from the country for her to officially inherit the church

Rana protected, the orphans’ place to be

Hence I have to build a future for the children

As it is now I’s

Surely still, someone will starve

――More, I have to select profitable work

The work relating to killing was, from this period

When I first shot a person, everything in front of me turned pure black

Returning, I vomited into a river

――Even so, the weight of a old coin was massive

「――This, how did you? Aie sum……」

「……Nn, it’s because I found some profitable work」

「Profitable is…… Your body, you didn’t sell it did you!?」

「That’s wrong」

Toward Rana who changed the color of her face, I smiled bitterly and waved my hand

「I’m a little, tired so I’ll sleep」

「U, un…… Aim」

See worried Rana saw my off, I remembered my pain

「――It was, more despicable work」

「Aim……?」

Leaking soirl that’s a sister, I closed myself into my room

Froain, time passed

With the church’s age progressing its withdrawal order was issued, it was a good chance so it came to be that we moved into an excellent church within the walls

Though it was slightly expensive, hat I could prepare now it somehoorked out

There were a large number of rooms, all the orphans came to like the clean wide church

Above that, there was a wide park suitable for the children to play in nearby

「Ai, it’s all due to you」

「Nn, don’t mind it That ere saved, is the same for both of us after all」

Furtherement as a sister

She handled the gathering the children within the walls, teaching of lessons and looking after them

――Beyondwork

「Then, I’ to work」

「……Take care」

I thought that probably, Rana should’ve vaguely noticed

For, there was the for a prayer to see me off

This time’s as a quarrel between two merchants

One merchant, seemed to want to erase a rival who had recently come take power, it was a request that couldn’t be helped

Though to promptly dispose of the other party in the rivalry should be a barbaric way of thinking, in a certain sense it’s rather clear

「……Irrelevant If it’ll obtain money, just do it」

The sniping point, as well as the target’s inforated in advance

The eternally rushedto his home today

When that merchant sets out he is protected by his escort, his house has a defense systeh policy
