Washio Sumi wa Yuusha de Aru

Hero's Memoirs (Original)

Chapter 1

When I heard that we were chosen by the Shinju-sama, I thought that was an amazing

thing, but exactly how it was amazing, I didn't really realize.

Just that, once I heard that the enemies that were coming would destroy the world, I

thought, I must fight.

In the beginning, I lost myself in that feeling.

At that time, that I would end up turning my body into offerings to keep fighting on, it

never even occurred to me in my dreams.

When I first saw Minowa Gin, I had the feeling that I would have trouble dealing with her.

She was loud, strong-willed, overpowering.

But as we felt each other out I thought she was a really nice girl.

That she would be ruined, and lost her life was......

Chapter 3

1 + 1 + 1 does not equal 3, but becomes 10.

If it was us, we thought we could do it. We had to think that way.

The enemies are called Vertexes. Abominations born from the center of viruses.

We are to repel them.

But, to such existences, to give them the name Vertexes...a word meaning the highest point,

why...?

At that time, the fact that Vertexes were things constructed by Gods was something we

still did not know.

Chapter 4

Several hundred years ago, according to documents of the Anno Domini [1] era, friends

that you want to stay with forever are called BFF.

It's an interesting word somehow, and I liked it. Us three are BFF.

Even now, I feel them close to me.

Chapter 5

The Shinju-sama is God itself. Therefore, I prayed.

That I didn't want to be separated from my friends.

That was, in a way, something that would continue to be granted to me.

In exchange for the sacrifice of a comrade, we gained undying bodies.

Chapter 6

I received a lot of gifts sent from the Taisha. My family also gained more power in the

Taisha it seems.

This special treatment surprised me then. But, after looking into it, it wasn't anything

special.

In any era, human sacrifices receive kindnesses.

Chapter 7

It was after I found out the truth that I learned.

That in the past, it wasn't viruses that inflicted pain onto humanity, but Vertexes.

And that the cause for that was humanity from the start.

It's a bit similar to the story of Tower of Babel, I thought.

Chapter 8

The act of fighting while offering our bodies to the Shinju-sama.

"That seemed like, such a wonderful thing..." Apparently my parents cried.

"Wasshi....now you're Tougou-san, huh. I'm glad that you didn't have it as bad as I did."
