side:リーア
多分、運命というものがあればこんな風なのだろうと私は思う。
戦争で壊れた私がいまだ生き続ける意味。
漸く私は答えを見つけたのかもしれません。
世界を平和へと導く、伝説の勇者様。
私はそんな人に出会いました。
こんな、まともに喋れもしない私に優しくして、多くの人を救おうとし、今は魔王までも助けようとする稀代の人。
しかし、只の考えなしなどではなく、どうやれば悲しむ人が少なくなるかという事を常に考えている。
その勇者様はなぜか、奥様達にはダンジョンマスターと言われている。
でも、私は違うと思う。
あの人の本質はきっと勇者様なのだ。
誰かの為にいつも違う衣をかぶっている。
そう、ポッと出の勇者とは違う。
彼こそ本物の勇者だと。
いつか、彼の名前を聞ける日が来るといいのだけれど。
これほど、自分が壊れた日以来、名前が聞こえなくなったことを悔しく思った事はない。
「そこっ」
甲高い音がして、私の手から剣が落ちる。
「リーア、あなた考え事をしていたわね?」
「まあ、まだ数日。色々試行錯誤したくなるのはわかるわ。でも、戦闘時に動きが鈍る程の考え事をしてはだめよ。格上の相手の時は特にね」
「はい」
今私は、セラリア様と剣の練習をしている。
流石に私もこの人の名前は聞いたことがある。
ロシュールの戦女神と、そして今はウィードの女王様で彼の正妻。
でも、それに見合う美貌と力、意志もあり彼に並び立つに相応しい女性だ。
「......リーアが頑張っているのは分かるわ。しかし、早急すぎるとも私は思うわ。夫の言う通り、前線から外すべきかしら」
セラリア様の何気ない一言に私は凍り付いた。
「いや、です!! 私は、あの人の付き人です!!」
あの人こそ、私の光。
いえ、この地で生きる人々の希望。
あの人が万が一でも傷つくことがあってはいけない。
億が一にでも殺されれば、世界はきっと崩壊する。
落ちた剣を拾い、再び構える。
それを見たセラリア様は目を丸くして驚き、嬉しそうに笑い再び剣を構える。
「その気持ちは良し。しかし、リーア。貴女は夫に何を見ているのかしら? 正直に言えば、貴女に見せている姿はほとんど情けないものばかりよ? ただの頭でっかちで、自ら動こうとしない。何処に貴女が頑張る理由があるのかしら?」
セラリア様はそう言いながら、鋭い剣戟を流れるように放ってくる。
私は必死にその剣戟を防ぐ。
「彼、はっ......確かにっ!? 普通の、人ですっ!! でも!!」
だからこそ、そこに意味がある。
奴隷に落ちたからこそ、普通の人だからこそ、今というこの時間がどれほど大事か身に染みている。
貴女という貴族が悪いわけではない。
だが、明確に彼と貴女には差がある。
「......様は、ありますか?」
激しい剣戟の中私の声は埋もれていく。
「セラリア様は相手と同じ視点で、いや、相手よりも低い視点で物事を見たことはありますか!!」
「リーア、貴女名前を!?」
セラリア様が驚いているが、それに耳を貸す余裕はない。
必死に剣戟を押し返す事に全神経を使っている。
私は思いのままに言葉を口にするだけ。
「彼は学校では足を曲げて、生徒と同じ視点で話をします!! 職場では気さくに職員の机に向かってコーヒーを持って行って、一緒に飲みながら仕事の話をします!! 貴女はそれができますか!!」
そう、どこからどう見ても只の人。
一般人。
私が彼に会ってから感じていた暖かさはこれだった。
彼は何も私と変わらない。
いえ、私が壊れる前の形。
それを、彼はあの地位にいて保っている。
それがどれほど苦難か、想像を絶する。
「きっと貴女も言ったんじゃないですか、それは貴族の振る舞い方では、上に立つ者の振る舞い方ではないと!!」
セラリア様の目が驚愕に揺れる。
「あれでいいんですっ!! あのあり方を誰も真似できないから、只の人のままあそこまで行ったんだからっ!! だからあの人は勇者様なんです!! 誰が何と言おうと、皆と変わらない、一般人の勇者様なんです!!」
そう言って放った一撃がセラリア様の剣を弾き飛ばします。
「はあっ、はっ......」
不味い、下手に喋ったから息が上がっている。
その間に落とした剣を拾い、セラリア様が嬉しそうにこちらを向く。
「そうね。彼は確かに勇者と呼ばれてもおかしくないわ。でも伝説の剣でも、スキルでも、強さでもない。でも、彼を慕っている人は大勢いるわ。私を含めてね」
セラリア様は自分の剣を眺める。
訓練用ではあるが、刀身は磨かれて鏡のようになっている。
「そうだったわ。私も彼だからこそ惚れたんだったわ。全然王者たる風格は無いのに、私たちの遥か上を歩く。その根源がリーアの言う通り、一般人だからなのでしょうね。ああ、そうか、前に言っていたわね。貴族なんて元をたどれば只の一般人、人だったって。なればこそ、只の人を知らない私たちではたどり着けない場所だったのね」
セラリア様が懐かしむように彼との思い出を語る。
「リーアにはお礼を言わなくちゃね。これでまた夫を更に愛せるわ。でもね......」
いきなりセラリア様が目の前に現れる。
咄嗟に剣を構えたが、そのまま吹き飛ばさる。
「小娘に夫のいい所を教えてもらうのはちょっと癪なのよね」
なんですか、そんな理由で私は吹き飛ばされたんですか!?
「そう言えば、最近お風呂も一緒じゃないかしらっ!!」
ガキンッ、と大きな音と共に私の体が再び浮く。
「そうですよ!! 私は付き人ですから!! ずっと一緒なんですよ!! っていうかそっちだって、こっちが布団被って必死に耳ふさいで知らんふりしてるのに、毎晩毎晩、お盛んすぎますよ!!」
体勢を立て直して、セラリア様にここ最近の鬱憤をぶつける。
「あら、夫婦だもの。当然じゃないかしら?」
「むっかー!! こっちがどんな思いで我慢してると思ってるんですか!!」
レベル的には、セラリア様が完全に上なのだが、なぜか筋力の上りは私の方が上で何とか互角に押し合える。
でも、筋力が互角なだけで他は圧倒的に下。
だから、息切れしている私はどんどん押し込まれていく。
「だからお礼をするわ」
「ど、ういう、ことですかっ?」
「夫の側室になりなさいな。専属護衛で付き人のまま」
「え!?」
その言葉の瞬間、剣を絡め取らて空に放り上げられる。
「まあ、夫が気に入らないというなら話は別だけど。あ、他に好きな人がいるとかかしら?」
「いません!! 彼しかいません!!」
「ならいいでしょう? もう夜は我慢しなくていいわ。混ざりなさいな。今日は......ミリーだし、私から言っておくわ」
「え、え、いいんですか?」
「無論。というか、リーアも分かってるでしょう。夫、ユキがふらふらしすぎている事に。こっちも護衛問題で大変なのよ」
「あ、はい。だから専属の人を探していたんですよね?」
「そういう事、今日までの訓練で余程の相手じゃない限り不覚は取らないだろうし、側室で護衛なら、離れる必要は全くないわ。私たちも護衛にあたりたいのだけれど、忙しいから」
ユキさんの妻の方々はそれぞれが方々で代表や重役に就かれていて、忙しい毎日です。
ですから、夜が激しいんですが。
「じゃ、私はユキさんの側室になっていいんですね!!」
「ええ。って、リーア。さっきも思ったけど、名前を言えるようになったみたいね」
「え、あっ、本当だ!! と、ミリーさんって誰ですか? 今まで名前が聞こえなかったんです。ミリーさんはどの方なんでしょうか? 早く今日の事で話さないと!!」
「わかった、わかったわ。手早くミリー......、じゃなくて皆ともう一度挨拶しましょう。名前わからなかったんでしょう?」
「......はい」
そうやって、セラリア様に連絡してもらって、奥様方に集まってもらう旅館に足を進めていると。
「そう言えば、夫の名前、ユキはすぐに分かったみたいだけど。どうしてかしら?」
「お仕事でサインがいる時に、ユキと書いていましたので」
「なるほど。あ、向こうでも言うけど、リーアが孕むのは一番最後よ。護衛の貴女が身重になっちゃ、夫が絶対無理させないから」
「そうねえ、私達が役職を終えて、ユキの護衛を代われるようになるまでだから、せめて2年は先ね。それまでは子供は我慢して頂戴」
「ええっーーー!?」
今日一番の酷い宣告を受けた気分でした。
side:ユキ
『特殊な称号を得ました』
そんな特殊なアナウンスが流れる。
「珍しいな、なんだ特殊な称号って?」
また、ルナのいたずらか?
そう思ってステータス画面を確認すると......。
称号:勇者の勇者 勇者から勇者と呼ばれる異質の存在。(何やってんのよあんた。面白すぎるんだけど)
とりあえず、俺はルナを呼び出して、抗議することにした。
しかし、勇者の師匠とか、父親とか、恋人ならわかるが、何だよこの勇者の勇者って意味不明だぞ。
と、勇者ねー。
リーアの事どうしよう。
あと5日ぐらいで何とかしないといけないんだよな?
今日はセラリアと訓練で疲れているだろうし、明日からか......、うん明日から頑張ろう!!
Side : Leia
If fated encounters exist, then I think I had mine.
The war is slowly approaching an end, and I'm still alive.
I may have finally found the answer.
He is a legendary hero-sama who is leading the world to peace.
This person is the one I met.
He is a rare person who tries to save as many people as possible, help a Demon King and is even kind to me who can barely talk properly.
But his way of thinking isn't ordinary. He sets his goals as high as the sky and then always tries to find the way where the fewest people will be saddened as well.
This hero-sama seems to be called a Dungeon Master by his wives-samas.
But, I think things are different.
The true nature of that man is definitely that of a hero.
He may wear different clothes than the other heroes.
That's right, he is quite different when compared to your usual hero.
He is a true hero.
I hope that the day I will be able to hear his name will come soon.
I have never regretted not being able to hear names as much as i do now.
(Seraria)[Hey you. ] 
A sudden sharp movement and my sword was dropped.
(Seraria)[Leia, you're thinking of something aren't you?] 
(Seraria)[Well, there's still a few days. There's still time for a few more rounds of trial and error. But don't think that your dull movements will be enough for the real thing. Especially when you are against an opponent of a higher rank than your own. ] 
(Leia)[Yes. ] 
Now I am practicing the sword with Seraria.
I have heard of this person's name as well.
Roch.e.l.le's war G.o.ddess, Princess of Roch.e.l.le and now the Queen of Weed.
But I must admit, she is a suitable woman for him, she is both beautiful and possesses great strength.
(Seraria)[...... I know that you are working hard, but fact is that our precious time is ticking on. As my husband he mentioned, I wonder if we should remove you from the frontlines?] 
I froze at the casual words of Seraria.
(Leia)[No!! I am that person's attendant!!] 
That person, my s.h.i.+ning light.
No, he is the hope of all who live in this area.
against all odds he ever got hurt, it'd be a disaster.
Even if it's one in a hundred million chance and he dies, the world will definitely collapse.
I pick up the fallen sword and ready my stance again.
Seraria who watched me react like that is surprised. She laughs joyfully and draws her sword again.
(Seraria)[That's a good att.i.tude. However, Leia. How do you think my husband will see you? To be honest, the appearance you are putting on display is usually quite miserable. If you simply carry on thick-skinned then things are not going to work out for you. Where should you be looking for the motivation to work harder?] 
Serarisama said to me while executing her sharp swordsmans.h.i.+p as I try to follow her flow.
I desperately fight with my sword to defend myself.
(Leia)[Ah, that...... is true!? Me, an ordinary, human!! Even so!!] 
This is it, the meaning.
Because I am an ordinary person, because I fell into slavery, I am not sure about the important matters and what is happening this time.
You are a n.o.ble, but it doesn't mean you are bad or always right.
But clearly, there's a difference between him and you.
(Leia)[...... -sama, do you know?] 
My voice is covered by the intense fight with swords.
(Leia)[Serarisama has her own perspective of her companions. No, you have a low evaluation of your own companions!!] 
(Seraria)[Leia, you said my name!?] 
Serarisama is surprised, but that's far from all I have to say.
Responding as needed, I use my whole weigh to push back her sword.
I should just just speak to my heart's content.
(Leia)[When he was at school, he went on his knees to be on the same perspective as the students!! At his workplace, he took a cup of coffee with the official staff and they talked about any and many things together!! Is that even possible for you!!] 
Yes, no matter how you look at him, he is just like any common guy.
Your average person.
This is the kind of warmth I felt from him ever since we met.
He isn't much different from me.
No, he is closer to how I was, before I broke.
This is the reason why he is keeping his position.
I can't imagine how many hards.h.i.+ps he has to endure through all this.
what you will say, that a n.o.ble person must behave as one of his kind, that you wish for me to rise until I become a lady!!] 
Seraria's eyes shook in astonishment.
(Leia)[That's what you might be thinking!! That everyone must be like you, even if they are people coming from the street!! And that's why he is the hero!! Whatever you say, he is the hero of the ordinary people and he doesn't want for anyone to change!!] 
Following my speech, my blow knocked the sword of Serarisama.
(Leia)[Haah, hah..... ] 
It's bad, I talked frantically and now my breathing is getting hard.
While she is taking her sword back, Serarisama has a delighted face.
(Seraria)[Oh well. He can certainly be called a hero. But that doesn't mean he have a sword of legend nor would he have the skills or the strength to many one. Even so, there are a lot of people who adore him. Including me, you know. ] 
Seraria looks at her sword.
Although it's her training sword, the blade is polished and looks like a mirror.
(Seraria)[You are right. It's because I fell in love with that person. I don't have the standing of a ruler and my rash personality is a bother, our standings are also very differents. It's probably because he is originally an average person just like you said, Leia. Ah, I see where you are coming from. I've heard of it before. n.o.bility, at the beginning, was originating from ordinary people. That's what he told me. Despite that, in the end; that's because he understands us that he managed to reach this place, don't you think?] 
Serarisama seems nostalgic, talking about her memories.
(Seraria)[I must thank Leia for that. Now I find myself loving my husband even more. But you know.... ] 
Serarisama suddenly appear before my eyes.
I raise my sword to parry but it does little and I am pushed away.
(Seraria)[To have a little girl trying to teach me about my husband isn't a great feeling. ] 
What, she blew me away for that reason!?
(Seraria)[Which reminds me, didn't you recently start to join him in the bath?!!] 
And with a loud noise, my body's fyling. Again.
(Leia)[Isn't that obvious!! Because I am his attendant!! We will be together forever!! I will even go as far as telling you that, despite the cover of the
Fighting against the hierarchy, I crash against Seraria with all my pant up anger.
(Seraria)[Ara, since it's a couple thing. Isn't it only natural?] 
(Leia)[Muka1)!! If you think that I'm dull and will simply endure on the side, you are mistaken!!] 
In term of level Serarisama is far above me, but in term of strength I can somehow jostle on par with her.
This won't be easy because even if our physical strength is evenly matched, she overwhelm me in all other aspects.
That's why the me right now is getting out of breath as I push towards her.
(Seraria)[For that reason I have to thank you. ] 
(Leia)[Wh-hat, do y-you mean?] 
(Seraria)[You are going to become my husband's concubine, and as his personal attendant, you will have to take good care of him. ] 
(Leia)[Eh!?] 
Her words surprised me so hard that the grip I had on my sword loosened, letting it fly toward the sky.
(Seraria)[Well, if my husband doesn't like you then it would another story altogether. Oh, but unless it is you that like someone else?] 
(Leia)[There's no one else!! It's only him!!] 
(Seraria)[Would that be okay for you? You wouldn't have to endure at night anymore. Finally able to mix after such a long and painful wait. But not today..... It's Millie's turn. ] 
(Leia)[Eh, eh, is that okay?] 
(Seraria)[Of course. Rather, I hope you would understand that my husband Yuki is wandering too much. This way, you will be able to thoroughly take your escort duty to the core. ] 
(Leia)[Y-es. So you were looking for an exclusive person to attach to him, am I right?] 
(Seraria)[For that very reason I have faced you as an opponent so harshly in training everyday. Until our exchange today and now I feel perfectly safe leaving him in your care as his concubine and his escort. We wish to escort him ourselves but we can't, we're simply too overworked. ] 
Each of Yuki-san's wives is someone important, they are representatives or executives, getting busy every day.
That's also why every night is so fierce.
(Leia)[I can become Yuki-san's concubine and shoulder him!!] 
(Seraria)[Yes. Well, Leia. It came to my mind for a while now but it seems that you are finally able to sayable to say a name. ] 
(Leia)[Eh, ah, it's true!! And, who is Millie-san? I don't think I've ever heard her name so far. What kind of people is that Millie-san? I have to hasten and speak with her soon!!] 
(Seraria)[Alright, alright. Let's quickly join Millie and..... No that's not it, let's simply greet everyone once again. You didn't understand their name previously, right?] 
(Leia)[...... Yes. ] 
After that, Seraria contacted the other wives and they all gathered at the inn.
[Now that you remind me, I think I've heard her saying our husband's name, Yuki. How is that possible?] 
(Millie)[Because when I was at work, he signed with the name Yuki. ] 
(Seraria)[I see. Oh but even if she is the newest, she will have to wait in line before she can get pregnant. Your escort duty is the most important, you can't conceive a child with husband this is absolute. ] 
(Lutz)[Let's see. At least for the first two years. After that, we will be able to pa.s.s on work at the office and take over as Yuki's escort. You will have to be patient before you can receive his child. ] 
(Leia)[Eeeehhhhh!?] 
Today I heard the harshest sentence, it felt so horrible.
Side: Yuki
{You earned a special t.i.tle. } 
I heard such a strange announcement.
(Yuki)[It's unusual, what exactly is a special t.i.tle?] 
Wait, is Luna playing a prank on me?
That must be it, let's check my status screen....
t.i.tle: Hero of Hero. After being called Hero by another Hero, you became a special existence. ( Hey you, watcha doing? It's too funny, though)
First of all, let's call Luna, I decided to protest.
You could have called me master of a hero, even father or lover. But what the h.e.l.l with hero of a hero?
Hey, but Hero?
What should I do about Leia?
I have to manage something in the incoming five days?
Today she will come tired from Seraria's training and tomorrow..... Right, let's try my best tomorrow!!
