My whole life, I just went wherever the road took me.

I lacked the faith the others had. Lacked the hate the others had.

I was afraid. Afraid to make a decision. Afraid to stand up for something.

But that didn’t mean there was nothing I wanted to protect.

“Eek!”

A wretched squeal emanated from the dingy church cellar. From my own wretched lips.

“Get your filthy hands…off him!”

My companion Elise Zwelg stepped forward, taking the blade that was meant for me. She had stunning blond hair and an impressive shield. Her thick steel deflected the assailant’s knife, and then…

“Raagh!”

She swung her great sword with a powerful yell. With the last of the foes dealt with, she turned to me.

“Phew! Glad that’s over.”

Another of my companions wiped the sweat from his brow and replaced his great sword on his back. Isaac Sturlson. My friend, my mentor, my blood brother. He offered me a hand as I lay sprawled on the floor.

“Can you stand, partner?”

I accepted his help and rose to my feet. Isaac smiled as he patted the dust from my shoulders.

“Seriously, friend. You have the luck of the devil himself.”

Elise grinned in agreement. “If you hadn’t fallen when you did, you’d be dead.”

“Sure wish the Lord looked out for me as he seems to do for you. Ah, well.”

…If I was really as blessed as Isaac seemed to think, then my life should have gone a lot better than it did. I knew the pair of them were trying to cheer me up, but I couldn’t avoid hearing poison in their words all the same.

“…I’m sorry,” I said. “I’ve only been weighing you down.”

“There you go again. Why can’t you have a little confidence in yourself?”

“I keep telling you, Lab. The only reason you’re here with us now is that we trust you.”

“That’s right! Otherwise, we’d get them to send us someone else instead!”

The two smiled at each other, then Isaac clapped me on the shoulder.

“We need you, pal. Your Sacrament that lets you see the future, your blasted good luck, and your calm mind that neither of us possess. We’re a team; remember that.”

…Despite his words, I couldn’t allow myself to let go of the unease I felt. My Sacrament was automatic and outside my control. And who knew when my good luck would run out? Plus, I wouldn’t have said I had a calm mind. It was more like I was just a coward.

I wasn’t qualified to fight alongside them, to be an Agent like them.

“…The only reason I have this job is that my father was a temple knight,” I said with a sigh.

The other two shrugged. “Whatever. If you’re going to talk yourself into a rut, we can at least do it over lunch,” said Isaac.

“Yeah, I’m starving. Let’s head back and give our report, then get changed and head out into town. We’ll listen to you complain as much as you want there. Deal?”

I nodded awkwardly and made to leave the cellar…but I immediately slipped on the blood-slicked floor and fell.
