Since the birth of the "National RPG" Dragon Quest series, there have been endless stories around this derivative.
And the most common representative of justice, the brave, also becomes figurative in this derivative process, kind, humorous, humane, plus some insignificant shortcomings.
(Dragon Quest 11 opening cg animation)
However, with the development of Japanese anime, the stories related to it have long been limited to the adventures of the brave.
For example, the 2021 comic award "Buried Frilian" was thrown into the elf who was forgotten by time, the partner of the deceased brave.
The work introduced this time also casts the perspective on the daily life of the brave man in addition to fighting: his emotional life.
The title of the comic is straight to the point, i.e. -
The Legendary Brave's Wedding Event
It all started after the victory of the brave.
Yuri, the brave man of Muna, answered honestly to the question "The Mood of Returning victoriously", tired.
At the same time, he is unaware of the companion warriors + monks who are secretly feelings along the way.
Surrounded and cheered by the crowd, the look of the brave was as delicate as ever.
Only when he heard the news of the warrior monk's marriage did his expression change, and for the first time he had the idea of marrying someone who loved him.
But obviously, the identity of the brave, the compressed time, and the exhausting blind date all made Yuri suspicious, and staged a brave version of "What to do if I am too popular".
At the same time, the spontaneous respect and love of the blind date for the identity of the brave also made Yuri confused, and he had an idea-
"Removing the identity of a brave, am I just a useless person?"
After all, Yuri often embarrassed the interviewers at the banquet, had zero dialogue skills, and had the ability to make the atmosphere solemn for a second.
The magician Zhenfan who was listening next to him suddenly ran out of magic, and no one around him knew why.
Until she said —"
"Do you ask what's left after removing the brave identity—I'll tell you now."
Say goodbye to the true sails falling from the high walls.
Yuri jumped down without hesitation to save her, at the cost of breaking several bones.
ZhenFan's expression was like saying—
"Look, you're still a rotten good guy who can't be saved."
The seemingly cold magician was always able to notice Yuri's emotions and skillfully comfort them.
Much encouraged, Yuri participates in a blind date that hides his identity.
His clothing was as poor as ever, and although it was a unique elven gift in the world, it had been ruthlessly labeled as old earth.
(Woman's Perspective)
(Man's Thoughts)
Not being good at using utensils when dating, ignoring blind dates when eating selflessly, and embarrassing conversations have left a very bad impression on each other.
When talking about the weather is really good, the way he speaks makes the girl scratch her head-
When eating, he ate completely on his own, as if he had forgotten that there was a sister next to him——
As for the result, of course, needless to say, the brave man who could defeat the Demon King was defeated under the pomegranate skirt of the sister——
However, one or two setbacks can not defeat the brave, and the brave embark on the journey again, just to find the marriage partner of their choice.
During the trip, Yuri meets someone he loves at first sight.
But unfortunately, the other party is a liar, and the cheater mercilessly hit Yuri, who is expressionless + not good at words.
Frustrated, Yuri only warns and leaves, but secretly watches Yuri's magician Makoto tell a story about a brother and sister, and by the way, he uses magic to teach the trickster duo a lesson.
The sisters of the orthopedic plot are often gentle and kind, quite large and nurturing, or arrogant and simple. (However, the brothers and sisters in this story are pseudo-orthopedics)
But apparently, Zhenfan's belly black attribute can be seen from dealing with the cheater duo, and she is not a common likable character.
The only tenderness is probably the story of Yuri's past.
"That was the age when the Demon King's demon creatures still existed, but no matter what terrible things he encountered,
The brother would always put on a look of indifference, thinking that as long as this way, his sister would be at ease. ”
At the end of the journey, it also returns to the source point, a splendid sunflower field, which is the hometown of Yuri and Makoto.
In childhood, her mother was sick in bed, her father was away from home, and the person who remembered taking care of Makoto was Yuri.
While taking care of him, Yuri practiced his sword skills while flipping through ancient books, causing his behavior to become more and more monotonous and rigid.
When DangFan asked, his brother said——
"It's all about being the brave man of legend."
During the day and night, Zhenfan, who knows normal ethics, hides her true feelings, and she knows that she is hopeless.
Knowing that yuri was about to embark on a crusade against the demon king at the age of 16, Makoto diverted his attention and practiced swordplay and magic in the form of his brother.
They are connected by blood, and she also has the qualifications to be a brave person, not always in a position of protection.
But Yuri said —"
"Whatever happens, you're my sister,
But you are not my own sister,
You don't have the blood of the brave in your body. ”
But the cruel truth in Yuri's mouth is a word of hope for Zhenfan.
Later, Zhenfan immersed himself in cultivating magic to become a magician, and kept watching his direction, from the demon king's journey to the blind date.
Along the way, Yuri met so many people and things, although he hesitated, he did not stop for it.
Perhaps because of this, Zhenfan developed a selfish heart, so the girl named Galatia was born.
She perfectly fits Yuri's preferences and is willing to tolerate all his shortcomings.
Bored looking up at the sky, participating in the same feast, coming to the wilderness to pet soft sheep, listening to the rustle of snowflakes falling, spending festive celebrations, Galatia achieved everything he could think of.
And the relationship between the two is also further accompanied by shared love, happiness and time.
Until the time of the new marriage, Galatia avoided her lips and kissed Yuri's cheek.
Yuri suddenly woke up and whispered "True Sail", and he remembered that the young True Sail had also expressed his inner love in this form, as if he heard a long sigh.
The transfiguration magic was lifted, and the real sail was in sight, and Galatia did not exist from the beginning.
She has the consciousness to abandon herself, but she cannot choose to live with Yuri.
Just as Yuri hid his identity as a brave to contact others, Makoto also hid his sister identity to contact Yuri.
However, it is a thousand miles away from the mistake.
The result is exactly the same, it fails, and the process is still fundamentally different.
Some of the women Yuri met on a blind date fell in love with Yuri before learning of his identity as a brave, but Yuri gave up karma because his identity was exposed.
This seems to be only an external cause, but in fact, Yuri himself cannot unload the identity of the brave.
Man is the sum of all social relations, encompassing both particularity and universality, and he is wooden, rigid, a rotten good man and he is one with the brave.
Koyuri hides and avoids his own specialty, that is, "I am a brave man."
And The Galatia created by Makoto has gained Yuri's love, and has a speciality tailored for Yuri based on the understanding of daily interaction, after all, she can notice Yuri's subtle emotional changes.
However, she lost Zhenfan's own black belly, poisonous tongue, intermittent facial paralysis, etc., which is her ordinary as Zhenfan.
If you continue to conceal and follow the trend, Xu will evolve into another-world version of "Daughter of the Sea", wandering feelings are boundless, losing direction and turning into foam and melting into the sea.
This is a similar problem between the two brothers and sisters, although the relationship ended slightly hastily.
Fortunately, in the end, Yuri no longer entangled in the identity of the brave and the righteous sister, regardless of identity and status, both gave each other a chance, and gradually ran into each other and relied on each other.
But that's how they got along much earlier.
At the end of the story, there will be no more rejections.
There will be no more deception and ridicule.
There will be no more cumbersome letters to send.
There will no longer be women who meet and propose for the first time and villages with strange rules.
There will no longer be "ordinary dating" that evades responsibility.
"The Legendary Brave's Wedding Event" ends with a fairy tale ending with Yuri and Makoto.
As a comic work that covers everyday and warm elements, its painting style is simple and emotionally delicate.
Although it is only a very simple and bland story, and the characters are just ordinary people with flaws and self-doubt, each blind date journey carries a unique warmth and romance.
