Chapter 53 (2/2)

” .....Yes.”

I left the courtroom.

I joined Lisa and Soara, who were waiting outside, and crouched down on my knees out of sight.

”I'm the hero, it's supposed to work out for me.”

”Sain, calm down.”

”Lisa, do you really think I'm a hero?”

”Of course you are. You're the one who's going to save the world.”

Lisa gives me a gentle hug.

That worked to calm my fluttering heart.

She stroked my head and my mind shut down.

Yes, I am the hero. The hero who will go down in history.

”I did the right thing in making you mine. You're too good for Toru.”

”Fufu, thank you. I love you, Sain.”

”Hey, don't just start flirting on your own, I'm here too!”

Thanks to Lisa, I feel like I have a clear head.

I feel very good.

If you think about it, there are always setbacks for heroes, right?

This may be an ordeal, but it is also a test to be overcome.

The glory I want awaits me.

Round table: Place where representatives from various countries, mainly human, meet.

Heroes have been introduced here for a long time and have had their names and faces remembered.

In addition, help is also requested to defeat the Demon King, so it is designated as a very important meeting.

On this occasion, representatives from five major countries are meeting:

Grigit.

Armand.

Barseille.

Greyfield.

Lastoria.

Many people were seated at the round table.

I was standing behind King Balseilles, waiting to be called.

”-- By the way, it seems that you recently gave the adventurer of the Manyu Brigade the title of hero. However, rumors do not always spread correctly. How many of the rumors about them are actually true, King Armand?”

”Kuku, they are a truly remarkable bunch. They don't care about fame, and they always speak their minds. And half the rumors about them are true.”

”It's unusual for that to be the case. I'm suddenly very interested.”

”Then you should meet them in person, King Lastoria.”

The conversation was monopolized by the Manyu Brigade.

I was irritated just by hearing that name.

I managed to suppress my overflowing murderous intent by gritting my teeth.

”They have been a great help to us at Grigit. They are as strong as the rumors say. They wiped out one of the six demon generals in just 3 days. It looks like they are planning to go to Greyfield soon.”

”Are they going to Greyfield? Then I must meet them. Please tell us what they're like, Reina.”

”Fufufu, as the name suggests. They enjoy travel, gourmet food, and meeting people everywhere. Grayfield has a lot of archaeological sites, they will surely enjoy them.”

Enough of this. Don't talk about the Manyu Brigade in front of me.

It's disgusting. It's disgusting.

Tap

King Balseille taps his finger on the table.

”We must talk about what concerns us. This is not a meeting for small talk. It is about solving our biggest problem; the subjugation of the Demon King.”

”You mean your boy? He hasn't done anything.”

”But he will! He is the pride of Balseille, the greatest hero of all time!”

The king strikes a blow at the table.

The queen and the kings looked at me and King Balseille with cold eyes.

It's as if they were watching a fake hero.

Then King Armand interrupted him.

”We have to keep calm. It is an undeniable fact that he is a hero, so we simply have to cooperate, as usual. The Demon King hasn't started a full-scale invasion yet, probably because he hasn't gained enough power. I think it's the right time to attack.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Exactly, after all, you have to trust me.

They just have to keep quiet and watch me work.

I will kill the Demon King as you wish.

I will show them that there is no point in waiting for the Manyu Brigade.

They were only given the title of hero.

Instead, I am the hero among heroes. The one who has the specialized job of fighting the Demon King.

It is not necessary to make a comparison.

That said, is Grayfield your next destination?

Does that mean they are here in Grigit.

Then we arrived just in time.

I'm going to go ahead to Grayfield and make an appearance worthy of a hero.

I couldn't do anything before because they were so many steps ahead of me.

To tell you the truth, I'd like to go take care of them right away, but right now I'm thirsty for results.

I want to be showered in praise.

First, I must be recognized for a great feat.

It's not too late after all.

Look at me, Manyu Brigade.

I'll show you how scary I can be.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
