Five Heroes from Herra Tribe

Its been a year since then, though I quite dont get it why they wanted only 'One' Hero. Im sure all of these childrens was qualified. Not only them but other children closed to their age. Though others couldnt hear me, Yuusha as a representative of 5, become my speaker without me knowing. At first, he just copied my sentence, word by word as he teaches other childrens. Then now, not only he become independent, he flawlessly become the best teacher. His speaks, his actions, all of it was eye catching as the spectator was in awe seing him speak and teaching childrens. Of course thats how I judged him. He was a natural born leader. He sure has the traits of a Hero. Of course childrens from Herra tribe has Goold morals as I always said. Many of them can become a Hero of their own if they really worked hard. As for another 4 children who understand me, unlike other child, they sometimes listening to my stories, like about the story of 3 stupid pigs dividing themselves instead to work together and beat the wolf. A story of so curious princess as she lose her conciousness because she did what she didnt have to, and more. though I inserted some pun and spice, they really liked it. They even stagedplay some of them and Adults was shock because of these childrens wild imagination. And, thus born the Herra's Business Troupe. Though that was the Story for the Later.

In a present. As I was teaching these 5 childrens, four of them was training for two on two, the fifth child asks.

"Master, Im scared" He said, He was the one eyeing by the Sage. That time, Im sure this guy was the strongest as he was energetic, and had strong physique that was above others. If I compare the word I said to him from my past world. He was like Captain Am*r*ca. A super soldier. He can withstand 4 others by himself sacrificing his body just to beat one. I even called him Ironkid, as his nickname. But he became stagnant because of those event. Though he improved, but not just the same as others. 'Im scared' is what he really feels. I thought I cleansed their worries that time. I thought its all Okay as he didnt improve because thats just life, when youre already at the ceiling, you cannot go beyond unless you destroy that ceiling yourself, but I was wrong. This kid was Scared, and a whole year since then. I thought I can read innet hearts feelings, but I was wrong. This child who was by my side all along was scared, and I didnt even feel it? I didnt know! I was a useless Guardian.

Shit!

is what I wanted to scream. "Im sorry, I didnt know that you're still scared all along.. Im Sorry".

*Smile*

As these kid hug me as tears flow from his eyes. "No, I was scared not because I was a Hero. I was scared because I dont want to be parted with you" He said and later fall asleep.

I brush my branch to its head and whisper. "Dont worry, we parted but it doesnt mean we didnt meet again. Oh wait, we still have 10 more years! I'll work you to the bone so that you can defeat that threat faster!" I said so, afterall he already asleep.

"hmm! Im looking forward to it!" it also whispered. though faint, I heard it clearly.

Not that I have an ear.

another 10 years passed by. Like all of those happened an hour ago, the only 5 children who can hear me is now a 15 year old and an independent Kids. Though, many children whom I also cherished with love was still under my care, these 5 Kids was so precious to me. Afterall, as a former human, theres no such thing as an equal love.

"So, you all decided huh-" as I said while feeling dejected, Yuusha who felt it, sneer and said "He he, Master. You said so yourself, pursuing ones dream is one life's goal!", "I said that?" is what I wanted to say but I was happy. All of them have their own dream. Not just them, another 5 or 6 kids closed to their age also come with them. But this time, this 5 was only here infront of me to said their goodbyes. The Chief already found out on a whim so he created a chamber for me, and one need his permission of who is going to enter and exit, But childrens was excemption. a 100 meter chamber just for me. So childrens can also play.

Now, simultanously, these 5 Kids bow to me while crying. As their lips form like a curly noodles. And if you put a bowl, using their tears and snot, that bowl sure became full in less than a minute. These Kids. Why are you crying. I thought this isnt the last time we met? Haaa— Its raining....

Is what I wanted to say if tears flow out of my eye. But sorry I dont have one.

While they're bowing, I reached out my branch and caress their hair. Ground in front of each of them shook as an Item popped out, my root like box was infront of them.

"For Yuusha, Hiiro, Eiyuu are Sword. a Rapier, Bastard Sword and a dual hand Scmitar consecutively. Though Yuusha pursue to become a 'Performer', Do not forget you're a warrior before you're an artists. As for Hiiro and Eiyuu who wanted to become a Mercenary and Adventurer, if by chance, I want you two to assist our soon to become Hero. Kay~!"

"""YES MASTER!"""

(A/N: isnt it ironic? their names derived as a 'Hero' from japanese names, but they arent one. kukukuku)

"Ylyasvil, for now you dont know what you wanted to become, but Im sure, one day you will, If you still cannot find what you wanted to be, return to my side!. This, I'll give you Bow and Quiver, that quiver will automatically filled by injecting your inner magic. For the rest, you check it to yourself"

"YES MASTER!"

"As for our Hero, Im sure they already have some Holy weapon out there so I wont give you one, but accept this 'Scabbard'. I coated that to become only 'higher quality' so they have a second thought before they throw that away. As for you, try to insert your soon-to-be-possessed Holy Sword inside that and check for yourself. Goodluck, Zyra"

"YES MASTER!"

(A/N: Hero is a Female!)

"And thus I concluded. Goodluck to your Quest! My dear Children, and beloved Students"

"""THANK YOU, MASTER"""

Good, good. I said as they all parted but they simultaneously look at me.. Ha ha ha.. I didnt utter a single word after that. Afterall, another words from me and a second group of their tears and snot who they restrained until now will shoot out at any moment, afterall, their faces is like—

('~')

—And with their crystal clear pupil as they steadily walking out until I didnt saw any if them at all.

Those memories with you all, I'll cherished them—

Oh by the way, I gave them weapons according to their specialty. A true Warrior knows not only sword, Is what I teach them, so for their 15 years of life, like that, not only sword skill is what I teach them but various types of weapons. Goodluck.... Everyone!...
