"Why... Why did it have to be me... Why did it have to be me! Why am I the only weakest one among them?!" the man shouted, unable to contain his frustration.
Remembering what happened, when he was defeated by Noah.
And after that, he was defeated again by someone he really didn't like.
The person he considered useless, had shown his superiority.
In fact, initially he was very confident of his victory.
However, this confidence suddenly disappeared.
Like smoke, which can disappear at any time.
In the end, there was nothing he did.
Since this was reality, there was no way for him to escape.
A moment, when he sank into despair.
Someone suddenly grabbed his hand, bringing it to his shoulder.
Who knows who it is, what is certain is that he is a good person.
It was true, that person, he was none other than Ash.
The reason why he did that, because he wanted to.
Seeing how desperate he was, intending to help him.
Although at first he didn't like it.
But still, there was only one thing he knew.
According to him, when someone needs help.
He had to help him, that's what his parents said.
Since this man was shouting in a tone full of sorrow, then he had to help him.
After all, that scream was like someone who had lost everything.
Losing what belonged to him, not wanting to live anymore.
Instantly, when the man had completely turned towards the person who was helping him.
He subconsciously put on a face of disbelief, seeing that it was him.
The person he had always considered a pest, instead decided to help him.
In fact, he was the one who had defeated him in the first place.
But, he instead chose to help him.
Really, Ash's actions were like a hero in a fairy tale book he had once read.
Originally, Ash was talented.
But he is not arrogant, always humble.
And most importantly, he never envied anyone.
Even so, he is still a child.
Well, for this reason too, it was enough to make adults think that he was very naive.
Whatever it is, because of this he can make many friends.
However, he was a very naive person.
Luckily, he was strong.
Otherwise, he would be used as a punching bag by his enemies.
"Are you okay?" Ash asked, looking at his expressionless face.
For a moment, he thought this man was having a heart attack.
Luckily, that didn't happen.
"...Why, why are you helping me?" that man, he chose to ask back.
He was curious, wanting to know what made him help him.
Hadn't he made him angry?
But why, why did he even help him?!
Really, if this reaches the ears of the villagers.
They must have cursed Ash, thinking that he was so stupid.
If you're a man, why do you have to be gentle?!
This world is cruel, only the strong can survive.
The weak will be oppressed, that is the law.
"Why? I think it should be? After all, you are just challenging me, right? Therefore, helping you is a natural thing." Ash answered, while showing a confident smile.
For a moment, it made the man freeze again in place.
Only, this time it's a little different.
Unconsciously, something he didn't expect happened.
For some reason, a feeling of admiration for this man suddenly appeared in his heart.
He didn't know why, but one thing was certain.
Now he knew, understood why Alicia and Eris liked this man so much.
It turns out it was all because of his kindness, which made them fall in love with him.
'... What's this? Strange, why did the situation become like this?' I thought to myself, not knowing what to say.
Watching their interactions was enough to make me feel uncomfortable.
It felt as if I could be thrown away at any time.
Remembering in my previous life, when I was slandered by my seniors.
Instantly, a feeling of disgust began to sweep through my heart.
Thinking about how stupid Ash was, I couldn't say anything else.
