Chapter 361
――Keep living. Keep struggling, and struggling to live like you’re going to die from here on too. Do that, and one day……there is meaning in you surviving this day, the day you can think so is going to come for sure
Behind the roaring waterfall. Inside that natural cave, a voice that was heavy like rock, hard like steel, and unshakeable like a great tree echoed.
At the northern mountain range, near the summit of the first mountain there. It was the place where Hajime and co found Will Cudeta who was stranded here.
The scene of that time was being watched through past replay.
He was a young master of a house of count. He asked for unreasonable things and accompanied some veteran adventurers. He wasn’t any use at all, yet he was the only one who survived. He harbored a terrible feeling of guilt about it, however at the same time he was helplessly happy of the fact that he survived.
Will sobbed with a crumpled face saying that he was an ugly human. Hajime grabbed his collar and threw those words on him.
Inside the past replay, Hajime immediately came back to his senses and let go of Will. It was as though he was feeling embarrassed that he got so heated up. He was giving off an awkward air.
「There is certainly a meaning of your survival huh?」
Shuu messed up Hajime’s hair with a rough stroke. Hajime averted his eyes as though he was faced with a black history. He slapped down Shuu’s hand with embarrassment.
