I had to save the world to support my family

Crushing child labor or killing monsters slowly, this is a question.

—Of course, it is a question with a clear answer.

He couldn't be more clear about her thoughts, and the words that followed were urgent and fast, leaving no room for the judge to react.

[You love them, I know that.You love them like treasures, maybe even more than my brother. 】

[For us, it's not just that we don't have any complaints, to be precise, we are very grateful.So please listen patiently and think carefully about what you want to say next. 】

【Akita, Tui-chan, and Atsushi are all cherished younger brothers that I am proud of, but apart from that, there is one point that you have been ignoring...they are also Fusangshin of the sword.The fighting power of the short knife is not inferior to mine, and even surpasses it in some cases. Isn't it unfair to deny them just based on their appearance? 】

Because the other party deliberately emphasized that she should listen carefully and think carefully, so Novia kept quiet and listened obediently while drawing the magic circle.

After Tai Dao finished speaking, she paused symbolically for three seconds, and then replied firmly: "No way."

【…】

You are too naive to think that a few words can shake my principles, Mr. Yiqi!

What does it mean to deny them because they look like children?The short knife is obviously even a child's mind!

I couldn't tell whether my feelings were rejoicing or disappointed, and the complicated and unspeakable thoughts finally disappeared in my heart, turning into a wordless sigh.

[Is that really the case... Those children, who have been waiting for so long, will probably be very disappointed. 】

For some reason, this overly emotional speculation is more touching than a clear and incisive argument—at least for Novia, who thinks he is very principled.

"I don't understand. Even though I know that I will be injured or even die, I still want to fight...I can understand the guilt of not giving death, because it is a sword after all. However, pain and fear—this is really something you can get used to ?"

【Are you asking me?I don't know what the pain threshold of a human being is, but for me, it's not a level that can be ignored, but it's not worth paying special attention to.That's just a "signal". 】

[As for negative emotions such as fear and panic, please allow me to describe it to you in this way.After going through hardships, you can get the medal, and you can reach the end by overcoming obstacles.As a sword, what we pursue is originally accompanied by these unpleasant factors.But, how could it be possible to back down easily because of this? 】

[——The defeated opponent, the glory, the trust and praise of the partner, and the joyous laughter of the lord.For us, that's the most important thing. 】

Can you understand?

As a human being, can you understand the idea of ​​a sword?

It's nice to be cared for, and it's nice to have the occasional easy life too.But we—forged of fine steel and fire, eager to fight and break on the battlefield—what we pursue is the opposite of what you think.

The immature god judge stopped his hand, stretched out his index finger, and gently stroked the fresh soil dug out under the turf.

Was the protection I had imposed, which I thought I was protecting, a kind of bondage?

The hesitation and confusion disappeared in a flash, and if you look carefully, that face is still familiar with the swords and swords, with a decisive and peaceful face that does not leave a way out.

"Thank you for telling me so much, Mr. Yiqi. When happiness and comfort are at the two ends of the scale, how should I choose...I will think carefully about it."

Just when she was beaming with joy, she changed the topic, and her solemn promise turned into a messy thought like an aunt.

"But I don't fully accept your opinion! Dagger's personal thoughts, reasonable attendance system, and necessary guarantees! Hey, there are so many trivial things——"

First issue, one shock:...

"Don't be so disappointed. You are right about one thing," Novia glanced at the opaque deep forest, and sighed exhaustedly. "This is indeed a very suitable stage for them."

------------------

When it was daylight, the search and arrest work finally came to an end.

Three strikes, a small knife with a positive attitude and high emotions, plus a long-overdue Hasebe.The Swordsmen carried out a rigorous drag-net search, carefully checked the forest, and after confirming again and again that there were no fish that slipped through the net, the God Judge who also spent a lot of thought finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt Lumbago and backache, too drowsy.

She yawned big, and signaled the little knives to come to her side with inarticulate words.

"Since we've arrived in this world, I'll let Brother Yi take you for a walk later. But I have to go back to the dormitory first...ah, if I'm lucky, I might be able to sleep for another two hours."

Qiu jumped up and down excitedly, and rushed over to hug her leg.

"What about us? Can we go too?"

Novia lowered her head and stroked his fluffy pink hair, bluffing without confidence: "Just, just this time."

The five tigers stood aside and stood on tiptoe, looking enviously at this side.The god judge, who was soaked in rain and dew, waved his little hand proudly, pulled him over, and hugged him: "It's okay, the sauce is gone, the anti-allergic medicine has been boiled a lot! And thick—ah, if it weren't for you guys , I really don’t know what to do this time!”

Atsushi Shiro, who has the calmest personality, barely raised his head from the warm embrace. Unlike the two silly and sweet brothers, he still had a sliver of reason: "General, it's time to go to rest——!"

For some reason, after the dagger said this, Hasebe's eyes suddenly began to drift, standing aside and resenting why he was not the cut of the dagger.

"Ah, yes." Feeling that tonight is really too hard, it is also appropriate to reward myself once in a while, Novia clapped her fists, "Anyway, there is no one around, so it's better to disapparate and go back!"

After calming down a little, the God Judge began to wrap up last night's battle, specifically, to persuade a certain Zhen to make it clear that he did not cooperate with Taidao.

"Sankai Yuesan, who has been watching the excitement until now, is really hard for you. But I'm sorry, I can't let you run around alone, so go back with us, okay?"

The elderly are always very happy when they hear that there is a place to sleep and drink tea quietly, without any resistance as if they just stood by.Taidao, whose name was called, walked over obediently, and put his chin gently on her shoulder like a baby.

Novia hugged the short knives, breathed lightly, and listened carefully to the movement behind her.

The sound of cloth rubbing.Fu Sangshen took off the main body from her waist, and hung it on her back smoothly, about the position next to Yiqi Yizheng.

When the temperature of the fingers passed through the thin fabric, I suddenly felt a sense of indescribable absurdity.

His breath spewed out on the side of his neck, making Novia a little afraid to turn his head to look rashly.So he just lowered his head and asked, "Do you trust me so much?"

Trinity Moon hummed vaguely.

From the general meaning, it should be affirmative.

So he continued to ask with more doubts: "Am I considered an important person?"

He breathed a little faster, but there was no answer.

Novia didn't mean to press on, she raised her hand and patted him on the head, signaling to get into the body as soon as she was done coquettish--then she looked at the guy who was angry but kept holding back for some reason. Hasebe, said that he still loves him.

"Okay, okay, the precious sword forged by the country, a trustworthy hero~ If you hadn't reminded me from the beginning, how could I have found out so quickly? Oh, is Hasebe going to hug me too?"

"It's just talent, it's not!"

Steam was already rising from the top of his head, he covered his face with a knife, and rushed forward resignedly, and retracted his body with a whoosh at the distance that Novia could barely catch.

Knowing that he would have such a reaction, the interrogator waved his hand and grabbed the familiar scabbard, and laughed like a female hooligan, "It's really embarrassing."

"Everyone is ready.—Then, let's go!"

————————————————————

Nanami Chiaki was woken up by the screams from the next door.

She dazedly touched the alarm clock beside the bed and saw that it was only twenty past five.It stands to reason that it is enough to sleep back into the cage, but the scream of the goose that disturbs the dream is too rough, not like any female voice she is familiar with in this dormitory.The responsible classmate tossed and turned, and finally got out of bed without hesitation, ready to find out.

The screams that were too abrupt have disappeared, and have become a deliberately suppressed low-pitched argument.If it is far away, it may be difficult to detect the source of the sound, but right now——

Chiaki Nanami stood in front of the door of the dormitory next door, listened to the corner with a wooden face for a while, then stretched out her hand and began to knock on the door.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

The quarrel that had begun to intensify faintly, immediately fell silent as if a switch had been pressed.Qihai Qianqiu waited for a long time before getting a response from the owner of the room.

"Well, is anyone there?"

"Yes, this is Seven Seas Thousands of Autumns."

"Student Qihai?! Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the noise just now, did it disturb you?"

"It's okay," she lied clumsily, "I was about to wake up, but, Novi, is there anything I can help you with?"

The abrupt male voice immediately sounded again, but it soon turned into a murmur of something covering his mouth and nose.The voice of the transfer student's reply rose inexplicably, as if to cover up something: "No, everything is normal. Qi Hai, please go back to the dormitory and sleep, or you will be sleepy in the afternoon!"

Qihai Qianqiu hummed approvingly, and then said: "You open the door."

"Huh?!! I told you there's nothing to do—"

"Hi, is this teacher Yukino? I have something urgent for me. It seems that Novi has been kidnapped and coerced. Please hurry up—"

The locked anti-theft door in front of her slammed open at the speed of a bullet being ejected from its sheath. Novia, who was in a state of distress, rushed out with a mournful face. After seeing that she did not have a mobile phone in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then hugged the monitor classmate tightly. Sincerely wailed.

"Qihai, you have to trust me! I didn't do anything, I'm really innocent!!!"

Just as Qihai Qianqiu was about to let out a habitual oh, she suddenly saw another classmate sitting on the messy bed from the open door, trying to pull the towel out of her mouth.

...I answered in the affirmative, but I couldn't say it immediately.

"So, what do you mean," Nanami Chiaki tidied up her words, "—Komaeda-san ran into your room by herself?"
