「Hahhh, so tired……」
Despite being a girl, to be so sloppy like this… Such thought was running on the corner of my mind, but unable to resist the fatigue accumulated in my body, I flopped down to the bed while saying my complaint .
After we finished selling the lower-layer material, I had dinner with Onii-san, so it was quite late now .
Thanks to Onii-san being known in the store, it was possible to finish cashing the material in a short amount of time compared to other places, however, it still took quite some times .
Because of that, even though when I came back from the labyrinth, I was not as tired, I was completely exhausted now .
「Ehehe, Onii-san’s smile……」
Despite being tired, I was smiling full of satisfaction, however .
Certainly, there were many things happened today, still, Onii-san looked to be happy .
「Ehehe!」
——— If I’m not mistaken, I think Onii-san is pleased that I entered his party .
Thinking so, I moved my leg up and down on the bed in excitement .
My mouth slackened . Even when I was tired, I was still being absentminded on the bed .
That was how happy I was that Onii-san was pleased by having me .
Especially when before that, I thought that I was unnecessary for Onii-san .
At first, I came with the intention to protect Onii-san .
Yes, I thought I was stronger than Onii-san
「Onii-san, you’re really-really strong……」
…… But, I was mistaken .
Since Onii-san active in the labyrinth, his growth was incomparable to mine .
His strength was incomparable to when I met him before…
<
Actually, today wasn’t our first meeting .
Perhaps, Onii-san didn’t remember me because of my current appearance, but I was once saved by him .
The scene at that time was still stuck in my head .
In tatters, despite not having any ability that would make him called strong, Onii-san still fighting to protect me desperately .
Elementary healing magic, heal, was by no means an easy to use magic .
After all, that magic was something that only increased someone’s healing ability and was not meant for battle .
To the end, 《Heal》 was just something that was applied immediately at the end of a battle to minor injuries to give comfort to the wounded .
However, Onii-san was fighting the monsters desperately even though he could only use that magic . When I saw his appearance, I decided a certain thing .
Onii-san, despite being an adventurer, lamented that he had no companion .
If so, I would become stronger, strong enough to join Onii-san party .
And then I would protect Onii-san, and received many compliments in return .
That was why, I worked hard desperately after being saved by Onii-san that day .
After rigorous training to polished my skills further, I forced my parent to recognized me .
In addition, I used my family connection to check the rumor of the defect healer in the guild .
… While I was training, I couldn’t help but wondered if Onii-san was safe or not .
Hence why, when I heard that Onii-san entered a second-rate party famous for their act of fraud, I hurried myself to go to Onii-san’s place .
Even after the party became a first-class party, I trained harder to be able to become adventurer as soon as possible for the sake of Onii-san who was treated awfully .
Because of that, I was delighted that Onii-san was kicked out of that scamming party on the day I finally able to become an adventurer
I could only think that this timing was fate, I decided in my mind I would comfort Onii-san who had been exiled from his party .
… That was why I was stunned to see Onii-san was getting too strong .
Onii-san was unbelievably strong since I first met .
No, that was not the only thing that was improved .
Detecting enemies; removing traps; broad knowledge, knowing monster’s weakness for example; and, although all he could use was 《Heal》, my arm that was injured healed in an instant .
All that was first-rate .
… And when I saw Onii-san’s figure, I was depressed .
Because I had intended to protect Onii-san for so long, I realized my conceit when I knew how strong Onii-san was .
With Onii-san’s ability, he probably can enter any party .
Yes, he might even be invited to join that hero party .
In that case, Maybe, I’m not needed by Onii-san after all .
Thinking so, I was struck by the illusion that my vision darkened .
… But, I knew it was something worth celebrating over .
Because I know how hard Onii-san was working .
So, even if he says I’m not needed anymore, I must be happy that Onii-san’s effort comes to fruition . Or so I told myself .
——— Hence, my fury toward that receptionist’s attitude .

I knew people like that woman .
She was the kind of person who liked looking down on others, scorned others and felt no guilt over it .
There was no need to forgive that kind of persons who denied Onii-san’s hard work like that .
Even so, I was ashamed for my selfish act leaving the guild because of my emotion like that .
But Onii-san smiled and even said thank you without blaming me .
——— That was when Onii-san started to look happy .
「Ehehehe!」
Remembering that time, my face slackened again as I laughed .
I thought I could hear a voice from the next room, but I didn’t care about that now .
「But, why…?」
However, at that time a certain question was born in my heart .
It was about the scammer party that Onii-san joined .
「…… Why did that party kick out someone as amazing as Onii-san?」
I never got the answer to that question, and soon, I forgot about that scamming party…>
