The priest and his acolytes forced me to stay in the temple for quite some time, so it wasn’t until the next day that I finally saw my friends again.

I’d been worried about them both the whole time. The old priest told me there was nothing to fret about, but all of his acolytes were too busy congratulating me on my job assignment to say anything reassuring about Yu. All that did was annoy me.

The priest told me that he had arranged for me to meet the king in person in the royal capital and explained a little about my duties as the hero, but it all felt like a blur.

My family had also been called to the church. My grandparents were overjoyed. They were the ones who’d raised me because I’d already lost both of my parents. Seeing them smile made me happy too, but I couldn’t tell them the truth about the job I’d been given. I had to lie about it.

“Yu! Mei!”

After forcing my way out of the church where a myriad of preparations were still ongoing, I finally joined Yu and Mei. They were beneath a tree at the bottom of the same hill as always.

“Foy!” Mei said.

Rather than greet me like he always did, Yu reacted as if we were strangers. “Oh... Sir Foyle.”

“Huh? Who are you calling sir?” I was shocked and a little saddened.

“Yu, no!” Mei scolded him. “That’s not nice! If you call him ‘Sir’ it’s like he’s not your friend anymore! You think he wants that?!”

“Yeah... She’s right. You don’t have to treat me any different.”

“B-But...”

“No buts! You’re both friends! Now make up!” Mei grabbed Yu’s hand and mine and forced us to shake. She was a little aggressive about it, but it helped us get over the awkwardness.

“Sorry, Foyle. I shouldn’t have—”

“Let’s forget about it. I already did.”

“Good,” Mei said. “You two have to get along.”

“Sorry to you too, Mei,” Yu said. “And thanks. You’re always supporting me.”

“Huh? Ah ha ha. Cut it out, Yu.”

It was as if the two of them had grown closer in the time since I last saw them. It made me a little uneasy, but I pushed that feeling aside because I needed to ask them something.

“Can I ask you both for a favor? Come with me to the royal capital.”

“What? You mean the capital of the whole kingdom? Why would we go?” Yu replied.

“They say I’ve gotta meet the king. And I’ve gotta go to the Church of the Goddess’s headquarters. And, um... I’m... I’m too nervous to go alone.”

“Foy... Of course! I’ll go! Yu’s coming too, aren’t you?”

“But, Mei... An unassigned like me can’t—”

“Forget about that!” I declared with my chest puffed out. “I’ll stand up for you if anyone complains! There’s nothing wrong with you!”

Yu was the true hero. I had to do something to show everyone he existed.

I looked him right in the eye. “Please, Yu. I need you.”

“Foyle... Okay. I’ll do what I can to help out.” Yu gave me a nervous smile.
