prologue (1/2)

Editor: blacklotus

I wonder when that was…perhaps two years had already passed. My name was “Wasu.” I was just 15-year-old at the time: an ordinary person with an ordinary appearance that could be found anywhere. I have black haired, and have a normal income in the world. I lived in the Kingdom of Iscoa, south of the huge continent. There were also the ordinary townspeople parents, and there was a cute genius, and always two acclaimed sisters at the bottom.

I was a mediocre older brother who had no merit. However, such a mediocre me also had a childhood friend who was also a townsperson and of the same age. That childhood friend’s name was “Aria.” She had blue eyes that made you feel at peace along with glowing blonde hair like fine silk thread. A small body due to her young age but with that kind of face, she was supposed to become a beauty with a well-balanced body in the future.

As for her personality…

Well, she was always smiling and calm. But only when I’m with you, sometimes the black part…

No, let’s not say that bad…

When Aria and I were twelve years old, I pledged my future to her; a pledge between two people. People who married at the age of fifteen will be recognized as an adult.

Moreover, my sister’s mood was considerably grave for a while after the fact. I remembered having a difficult time turning it around. Oops, right now it was about Aria. She was still Aria, but when she was twelve years old; she was recognized as a “Saint” by the church. She would be departing with a man who was, likewise, chosen as a brave person. To kill the demon who would appear later that year. Aria herself didn't want to go.

However, I think that only I knew that her departure was the result of persuasion from the adults around us, like Aria’s parents; it was inevitable. Aria just smiled as usual. But at that time, I wondered if I could let go without saying anything. Should I also do something?

So, as Aria was following the people from the church, I shouted at her:

“I will go with you!”

Aria looked back at me, breaking into a smile. But adults around me turned to me with embarrassed looks. One juvey appeared by sliding out between the adults. ”Do you think anyone as mediocre as you would be taken along to the suppression of the Maou?”

The boy looked at me with a grinding gaze. His hair was dark blue, and unlike my mediocre appearance, it was a very well-organized face.

I might be mediocre, but it doesn't matter! I want to go!

“Then fight me “

As a result, I lost to a blue headed boy. Aria tried to treat my injuries. But since the boy and adults deemed me unworthy of time, they simply gave me several silver coins as a treatment fee and took Aria away from this place quickly. I also left, crying endlessly from frustration and helplessness.
