”The hero was summoned?　Are you sure?

”It's a phase of possibility, but I'm pretty sure it's a start.

”So, ...... is that magical explosion-like feeling you get from summoning magic?

”Yes.

I'm still trying to get a handle on it, but it's not an offensive magic, it's too big to detect. There are so many targets that even a dragon can't find them. Even if you spread your recovery magic over a wide area, a disaster of that scale would still cause a rumor or two. If it doesn't, there's only one possibility left. If he was forcibly summoned from another world, it's understandable that the magic wave alone would not cause any other damage. If the magic wave were to be of that scale, an attack magic of that scale would be able to see the smoke no matter how far away it was. It's impossible to hide.

It's too early to say for sure, but ...... the circumstantial evidence is there. So I'm curious.

I haven't caught up with it, but the explanation of the verse makes sense.

Then the next question is why the summons happened.

Events have a cause.

No, in this case, a reason.

Is our president on the move?

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear that a brave man has been summoned, but I haven't received any word from him.

Maybe it's simply that I'm the only one who hasn't been told.

”Is the president on the move, Memoria?

No, it's not. We have not been contacted. And the lack of time and preparation makes it impossible to guess how things will work at this stage.

I don't understand why you didn't contact us.

”Bath

Memoria says it's unlikely, and Barth says it's impossible to ignore the arrangements and move.

The company was not ready for a dungeon under the circumstances before coming here.

What would that president do to turn all those testers into a meaningless product to make sure it was ready to go live?

I can't say it's impossible, but I can say it's unlikely.

Before you know it, the place has become a place of speculation.

We'll discuss why the summons was made among our neighbors, or if this magic is something else.

In the middle of it all, me, Memoria, and Barth naturally keep talking.

”We would love to get some more information, but we want what we can't have.

It's going to take some time to gather the information here because it's so sudden.

”It's just a phone call away for them.

There's a communication bead over here, but it's limited in number: ......

Is there still a disparity in the exchange of information?

There is a difference in the means of transportation alone, and is it natural that there is a further difference in the means of communication?

It is also frustrating that we have to wait.

If I could use a phone, I would contact you, but without a tower, I would just use a smart phone or a sophisticated camera.

There are many uses for it, but I didn't bring it with me because it's too fragile.

Can't you get in touch with the company?

We're in touch with you, but unless it's an emergency, we're going to have to take the regular route, which will take time.

”Isn't summoning a hero an emergency?

”It may be that the Demon King's Army is no longer in the area. I don't know if the information is valuable enough to give it to them.

We have to be careful in a hurry, but we have to be careful, in case it's a hoax.

Yes.

We have not yet received full information that a hero has been summoned.

The careless move would not be taken by Barth and his friends.

I'm stuck on all sides, waiting for instructions.

These words are going through your head, and you naturally reach for a cigarette when you notice that I'm starting to get irritated and my head is spinning.

Hey, you got a good one.

Want to smoke?

Sorry.

Is it inevitable that you'll be found out when you try to smoke it glaringly, or even openly?

There are a limited number of them, but I think it's tasteless to smoke them alone, so I offer you one.

They will take it without reservation.

This one's a lighter and that one's magic, each with a different source of flame but the same gesture.

The smoke is naturally kept away from the memoria.

”I knew they smoked better over there.

”Can you smoke it over here?

I've got connections, and they're a few in number, so they're an occasional luxury.

”Well, I'll take the luxury of it when it's gone.

Smoke a cigarette and reorganize the information in a calmer thought, letting the joke of a lamenting berth go by that it was a bush snake.

It's the least you can do now.

I'll skip the question of whether the preconditions are in order.

There must be a condition for summoning a brave man somewhere else that doesn't involve the demon king's army.

There is some factor that can be attributed to our world alone, not to the Demon Lord's army. There's no basis for this, if anything it's a hunch.

Although the natural enemy of the heroes is the demon king in terms of atmosphere, I have a feeling that another factor is involved this time.

There must be a reason.

d*mn, things have been bad lately. Wheat prices are going up, rumors of the Inquisition are going around. That's making sales go down. We can't do this.

There it is.

”Huh?　What's there?　My store's sales?

That's why the heroes are summoned regardless of our president.

”What?

The words of Barth made me think of something that is not a guessing game.

It is not only the role of a brave man to respond to save the world and help.

It is the demon king that the brave men take on, but it is not absolute.

It is evil for the brave men to fight, or more specifically, evil in the eyes of their own camp.

If I'm right, these summoned heroes are no longer summoned under the best of circumstances.

”Hey, you're not on your own, explain it to me.

”The expectation is that they will--

”Mr. Barth!　They did it!

”What's the matter with you, one after the other!　What!　God's coming down next!

Before I can say what I've come to expect, the door of the store is violently opened.

A grown man panting on his shoulder tells Bath to scream, his momentum still undiminished.

The situation changes as if it was planned one after the other, and you want to scream at the man with the momentum that makes you want to scream at the berth to have enough.

”A brave man has been summoned!

What's up with that?

”No, it's not!　I didn't just summon it!　They used the magic of Lingfeng to bring in a bunch of heroes!

”What?　Hey!　Is Lingfeng Arush?

Mt. Arush?

It seems to be expected that a brave man has been summoned, but from the conversation, it seems that the method is worse than summoning a large number of brave men.

”Memoria, what's in the Spirit Peak Arush?

”...... is sealed

”...... promised

I don't want to hear of what.

Memoria's face looks whiter than usual.

It seems humans are creatures that can't stop making mistakes.

What's sealed away?　That one?　Is it an evil god or something?

I can't take the option of asking nothing after all this time.

It's dangerous for me to keep my ears closed when Memoria and the others are having this much trouble.

I'm going to ask them out of desperation and say, ”Come on, just do whatever you want.

I won't be surprised if there's a vicious hexenbiest or a dungeon.

”I am the first Zauberuber-King in contemplation.

Hey, what do you say you unsealed that thing. Keep it safe.

It's a bit of a surprise, but I can't help but get a kick out of it.

Isn't that seal, if anything, something the Demon King's Army can break?

Why would the heroic camp of the demon king's enemies bother to unravel it?

Isn't this one from about 5,000 years ago?

Does a thought body have any consciousness or intelligence left in it?

Even if there were any left, it couldn't be right.

That leads me to ......

”Is ...... in trouble?

”...... is in trouble

How long?

...... I don't know. But at least the thought body of the first master remains.

What if it's left over?

”It will be possible to destroy humans in realistic numbers.
