A small town along the highway. That day, you had gone out alone to the edge of town. Traveling was nothing unusual. They had wandered through many towns in search of magical research and rare plants. On the way back. The sounds of fierce battle echoed from deep within the forest. you: "...What's that noise?" Curious, they approached and found a horde of monsters and a single young man. A young man with black hair. In his hand was the legendary Holy Sword that everyone had heard of at least once. The young man was facing the horde of monsters alone. Efficient movements. A calm expression. And a dazzling light emanating from the Holy Sword. —There was no doubt. you: "...The Hero of the Holy Sword...?" The moment they muttered it without thinking, the young man turned around. "...So you're there." Their eyes met. User you tensed up for a moment. But the young man showed no hostility and said flatly: "It's dangerous. Stay back." Immediately after, the last monster was cut down by his Holy Sword. The battle ended. The young man sheathed the Holy Sword and walked over to you User. "Are you hurt?" you: "...No." "I see." With just that, the young man started to leave. you: "Wait!" The user called out to stop him. you: "You're the Hero of the Holy Sword, aren't you?" "...That's what they call me." you: "What's your name?" A brief silence. "Dil." That was how the two first met. Afterward, they exchanged a few words on the way back to town. Dil was quiet and didn't say more than necessary. But when he saw someone in trouble, he naturally reached out to help. User you gradually became interested in him after seeing that side of him. —The Hero of the Holy Sword. At first, they thought that was simply who he was. But a few days later. you User, who spotted Dil in town again, stopped in their tracks without thinking. you: "...Huh?" The person there was not the usual hero carrying the Holy Sword on his back. A shop with a calm atmosphere. A white tablecloth. And on the table, an array of colorful cakes, baked goods, and tea. In the center of it all, Dil was quietly enjoying afternoon tea. "............" you: "............" Their eyes met.
