16-43 The Four Heroes (1)※This is not from Satou's perspective Third person point of view
”Oh ht it was unusual for Sera to ask ?”
At the rooa Empire's i Witch] Ringrande greeted the guests
”My apologies if it looks like I' on you”
”Satou-san, there is no need to apologize I have no doubt that Ane-sama had noticed it the moment I asked to meet her”
Beside the apologizing [Deon, [Oracle Miko] of Tenion Terande spoke out in irritation
Sera's co as always
”And so Satou, since you want to meet Mary, that means you've made up your mind to marry me and Mary?”
”No--”
”Wrong!”
Before Satou could finish, Sera strongly denied her elder sister's joke
Ringrande doesn't look offended at all by her little sister's attitudes, or rather she looks so unfeelingly unperturbed That is in order to irritate Sera
In truth, Ringrande's inner thought was filled with, ”Jealous Sera is soo cute”
”So, Earl Pendragon, did you need ?”
Maryest atching the sisterly fight with a tired look asked Satou to move the conversation forward
”I'd like to inquire you about the heroes ere summonedhere after Hayato-sama went home”
”Is that so important that you, who should have been out at the western part of the continent, came back here to ask me about it?”
Princess Maryest asked back as if she was probing Satou's true intention
”Yes, I ran into Hero Seigi-dono in one of the countries I visited and heard about the other heroes fro to inquire Maryest-sama about them”
”Did you not ask Seigi-dono?”
”Of course I did, but his information was a bit too subjective”
”Well, I guess it would What about his attendants?”
”It appears that they were cautions against me”
Satou scratches his head bashfully
When he e unlike his usual adult atht
”I have a Empire Are you aware of that?”
”Yes of course, I as like their Unique Skills or such I merely wanted to hear what Maryest-sama thinks about their personality each and your impression on them”
Princess Maryest conte Satou's reply
”Very well It's a request by soht become my future husband after all If you are fine with only info that won't put Saga E you”
”Thank you very much, Maryest-sama”
Princess Maryest offers Satou a seat
While leaving the two sisters who are still quarrelling standing
”What would you like to know?”
”Then let's start from your impression about the heroes”
”That's quite a vague question Well, all right”
Maryest crosses her nicely shaped legs
Unfortunately, there is no one in this room who could admire the beauty of her ankle
”My impressions on the four heroes is that their ienerally they are『Existences that love justice』”
Her rely unexpected to Satou as he stares at Princess Maryest's eyes as if probing her
Sera as quarrelling with her elder sister was seely alarmed by that as she left her sister and sat down next to Satou
She's getting unusually close to him, but Satou himself doesn't seem to notice that
”You don't believe it?”
”No, the hero whoi, was a boy that exactly fits Maryest-sama's description”
Princess Maryest burst into laughter at Satou's serious response
She probably found it funny that he said that like an adult would even though the two of them are only around two years apart
”I'on”
Princess Maryest quickly apologized at Sera as growing angry
”Did you know that there were four heroes ere summoned this time?”
”Yes, apparently it was a group su that line”
Satou affirmed Princess Maryest's question
”So you knew Group su is quite an extraordinary phenomenon, but there were records about it in the past In most cases, there's only one hero while the other people arethis time was unusual in that all four were heroes”
”There was one who didn't act like a hero at all though”
”Rin, the person in question is yet an adult Even that Hayato was a little kid with flippant attitudes when he was first summoned”
Princess Maryest should have been as young as Hero Hayato hen he was summoned, but Satou didn't point that out and quietly listened to her reminiscence
Before long, she was done with it and went back to the topic
”I'm sorry, I made you listen to all these irrelevant stories--”
”No, it was quite an interesting topic”
Satou replied the apologizing Princess Maryest without looking like he was offended at all
”The first one, Hero Meiko You have ht know, she's a proble up in a peaceful country Her initial level was high too I can assert that she was stronger than Hayato hen they were first summoned”
Satou carefully listens to Princess Maryest
◇◇◆◇◆◆
Let's turn back the time a bit--when the Gods' Divine Punishment had just started
”--I can't believe the 『Northern End Magic Beast』 sealed by the hero hundreds years ago has been revived!”
”Quit yappin' and prepare for defense! Fortress-Eating Elephant is gonna cross that mountain soon!”
”So even the Mountain Wall of the First Emperor that could prevent Great Monstrous Fish (Tovekezeera)'s invasion isElephant”
At one of the fortress protecting the city at Saga E officer was yelled at for his gru
The defiant young officer's line of sight was fixed at the towering e to the north
”Your excellency General, Great Monstrous Fish (Tovekezeera) froh the barrier the Fortress-Eating Elephant broke through, will they?”
”No need to fret, was it Third Princess Porikest? That person has gone on her way to restore the barrier, leading ato worry about if we leave it to the Witch of Ice, said to rival the attendant of previous Hero, Princess Maryest”
The general heartily nods while stroking his white beard
Before long, a ripple of light that looks like an aurora appears above the e and settles down
”Here it is”
”It appears that her royal highness succeeded in restoring the barrier”
”Yea, it'd be real helpful if she killed the beast while she was at it tho'”
”There's a legend saying that Fortress-Eating Elephant is protected by a sturdy rock body and powerful hness could hope to defeat such a thing by herself”
The General gazes at a black haired girl standing upright on top of a rampant tower
”Unless they're a hero, huh?”
”Yes--”
The staff officers nodded at the general while looking worried at their trust in the being called hero and the young girl Meiko
While no one denied his words, the Fortress-Eating Elephant showed up froa Empire and approached the north city
”--That's the Fortress-Eating Elephant huh”
The Fortress-Eating Elephant boasting rocks as its outer skin is advancing on while easily ht
Its outer skin is clad in glittering blue light, not unlike hero's armor
”It's entering the firing range soon The ic artillery should fire their volley”
Advanced level fire and wind icians dispatched froic artillery cannons got dispersed once they got past the Fortress-Eating Elephant's ic walls
”What's happening?”
The general had no way of knowing that the ada Elephant's skin dispersed the already reduced power of the ic walls
The see Elephant's advance came to a halt
”It's the hero! Hero Meiko-sahtin'!”
Neither strikes froe to graze Hero Meiko
It's the power of her Unique Skill, [Unrivaled Agility (Never Get Hit)]
And by another power given by the God Parion, [Strongest Katana (Nothing cannot be cut)], she cut one of the Fortress-Eating Elephant's legs, however, the dae seemed to have been reduced due to the difference in sizes
”W-what the hell is that?”
