勇者達の会議

◆Chiyuki ◆

Eight of us were gathered in the room.

Though it’s been three days since Reiji opened his eyes, he’s still not in his peak condition. But his recovery is just a matter of time.

We could finally regain our everyday life after confirming Reiji’s safety.

And now, everyone has gathered in one of the temple rooms to discuss about what we will do after this.

「I think we should just give up with the subjugation of the demon king」

So I say.

「Why Chiyuki？」

Reiji’s asking me.

「Why you say… Why don’t you think of the answer by looking at yourself？ You almost died, you know」

So I scolded him with those words.

In the first place, I was going to stop this demon king subjugation if things became too dangerous.

Until now, we’re on the side who snatched their lives.

But, our position reversed when we met Diehart.

To be honest, we should have just given up on this subjugation from the very beginning.

「Sorry Chiyuki, I have no intention to break my promise with a woman」

Reiji’s saying that with a firm tone.

So my anger switch flipped on hearing those words.

「YOU, YOU MADE SAHOKO AND THE OTHERS WORRIED TO DEATH, YOU KNOW！ ！ THAT DIEHART FELLOW IS STRONG！ ！ YOU MIGHT DIE IF YOU FIGHT HIM AGAIN！ ！ 」

This guy won’t even care about his own life when it comes to women.

But, the foolishness of this man is also what saved me before once.

That’s why I am travelling along with him until now. There’s Shirone and Nao too. They might have been saved by this guy in the past too.

「My bad, but I’ve no intention to give up on saving Rena」

Of course I know that. This guy just won’t stop from doing such things.

「Uhm… Chiyuki-san, there are many people who are hurt because of the demons. So, can we really give up on those troubled people？ 」

It’s Rino who’s saying this.

In the first place, the purpose of this journey was for the sake of saving the people who were suffering because of the demons.

The demon king Modes is the king who rules over every demon in this world. And then, he comes to attack the humans by using those demons.

And then, the demon king Modes is trying to rule over this world to destroy the gods of Elios.

Though it’s not like we heard those rumors directly from Rena, such rumor were spread amongst the citizens.

Defeating this demon king Modes for the world peace. That is our goal.

Well, in fact, we only want to enjoy venturing around, but that is our official reason.

「There’s also that, but we have something we must to do right？ In the first place, THAT is the problem of this world？ 」

I think it’s strange in the fact that we have to take care of the problem of this world.

「Well, that’s true, indeed」

Though it’s strange that Kyouka is agreeing with me, so be it.

「In the first place, we’re the only ones who are working hard, so what were those gods of Elios doing ？ Did they never think of settling this problem themselves？ 」

Several of us, who heard Kyouka’s words, are having the expression that says, “You’re also not doing anything, right?”.

But, Kyouka’s words are reasonable.

The ones who will be troubled if the demon king Modes attacks Elios were those gods. Why are they not making their move?

This fact also made me feel uneasy.

「Yes, what Kyouka-san’s saying is reasonable」

「Fufufu」

Kyouka’s expression was filled with pride upon hearing my words.

「Now, how about we look for Rena and ask for her answer about why the gods aren’t settling their own problem？ 」

Why those gods were leaving the demon king to his own devices.

We absolutely have to protest if the reason is unreasonable.

「Uhm, that should be okay right, Chiyuki-sama？」

Now it is Kaya’s turn to ask me.

「What’s the matter, Kaya-san？」

In fact, I’m not very good in dealing with Kaya-san. She always has that expressionless-like noh mask on her face which makes me unable to determine what she’s thinking.
