9 Meeting of heroes (1/2)

Chiyuki.

All eight of us were gathered in the room.

It had been three days since Rage had woken up, and while he had managed to get up, he still wasn't in his element. But it would only be a matter of time before he recovered.

With confirmation that Rage was okay, we finally got back to our routine.

Then, we gathered in a room in the temple to discuss the future.

''We should stop defeating the Demon King,''

I say.

'Why, Chiyuki?'

Rage voices his doubts.

'Why? ....... You don't think anything of your condition? You almost died.

I say angrily.

Originally I was going to stop the defeat of the Demon King if it was in danger.

Up until now, we were the ones who took their own lives.

But after meeting Dihardt, it turned into a fight for our lives.

Originally, we should have stopped this kind of thing from the beginning.

''I'm sorry, Chiyuki, but I'm not going to break my promise to a woman.

Rage says, dressing up.

The words almost make my head bleed.

'You hey, Sahoko and everyone else was worried you were going to die!　That Dihardt guy is strong!　If you do it again, you could die!

This man is always like that, he would die for a woman.

But this man's stupidity has saved me from myself.

That's why I stayed with him until now. The same is true for Shirohne and Nao here. It's probably because of this man's help in the past.

'I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stop helping Raina.

I knew it. This man doesn't stop for this kind of thing.

'You know what, ...... Chiyuki-san, a lot of people are hurting because of the demons. Is it okay to abandon people in need?

This time Reno says.

In the first place, the purpose of this trip was started to help people suffering from the damage of demons.

The Demon King Modes is the king who rules over all the demons in this world. And he has those demons attack humans.

And the Demon King Modes wants to destroy the gods of Elyos and rule this world.

I haven't heard this directly from Raina, but it is rumored by people.

We must defeat the Demon King Modes and bring peace to the world. That's our goal.

Well, actually, we were just enjoying the adventure, but that's what it looks like.

'That's the thing, but is it something we have to do?　It was always this world's problem, wasn't it?

I think it must be strange for us to solve the problems of this world.

'It certainly is,'

It's a delicate feeling when Kyouka agrees with me, but that's okay.

'What is this god of Elyos doing working only on us in the first place? I wonder if he won't think of moving his own hand?

Some people will look at Kyouka's words and say you didn't do anything either.

But Kyouka's words are also true.

If the Demon King Modes attacked Elyos, it would be the gods who would be in trouble. Why aren't they moving?

This had been bothering me a bit as well.

'Indeed, Kyouka-san has a point.

”Hmm.

Kyouka makes a good face at my words.

'We'll ask her the next time we see Reena-sama. And why the gods don't move.

Why do the gods leave the Demon King alone?

If it's a trivial reason, I must protest.

''That Chiyuki-sama, if you don't mind?''

Now Kaya gives her opinion.

'What, Kaya?'

I'm actually not very good at Kaya. It's because she doesn't always have an expression on her face, like a Noh mask, and I can't tell what she's thinking.

And Kaya always talks to everyone else at a distance. That's why she gives them names. She doesn't feel at ease with any of them.

''In the first place, if we don't defeat the Demon King, won't he send us home?
