“Heroes of another world. Once again, we thank you for your aid on this fight that was certainly hard.” The king takes the floor and starts speaking to us with no interest whatsoever. This guy is pissing me off. “I always heard from the stories that almost half of the heroes who head out to fight against demons die during their first fight. But seeing you all here right now means that our knights were able to prepare you in the best shape possible.”
“Kevin?”
I suddenly hear a distant noise like an explosion. Sarah who saw me looking away anxiously pulls on my arm.
“What is it?”
“The king is looking at you.” She whispers to me and when I look the guy is fixating me.
“You, in particular, young hero, have been the star of the day. I heard that you even went and face their commander, risking your life for us. For that, I thank both you and Sir Telestal without who it wouldn’t have

Does he seriously think anyone will help him after what he just did. Instead of minding him or the priests and knights that have started panicking as well, I go to Telestal and breaks his chain with my sword. The two knights who brought don’t even try to stop me.“You have sacrificed your arm for me. That was completely uncalled for. But thanks.” I help him stand back up and when he is on his feet, he smiles at me then place his hand on my head.“You are too young to understand.”“What? Hey, I am sixteen already, what do you mean, young, Aren’t you only twenty-four?”“Yeah, I lived eight years more than you. It’s enough to understand some things.”The atmosphere of the room gradually heats up as many people have their own emotions they want to evacuate.“Hiss!!”However, the spider doesn’t stay sit politely for long. It suddenly spurts a purple liquid

“You really know how to give goosebumps to people, you know.”“You should just learn to trust me.” Though, even I was not too sure of this one.“Yeah, I will.”“Sir hero, wait.” The woman who is able to use that odd power now calls me. I am not sure of it yet but it seems she is using the power of the god of law and balance, and it doesn’t seem to be magic.“What is it? We don’t have that much time to waste.”“Could it be that you are a real chosen? Were you able to speak with our god?”“Huh…I don’t know what you mean but I never spoke with whoever that is.”A real chosen? Does it mean all of us heroes who are here are just decorations or something?When we leave the room, Emilia follows me and Telestal together with the two knights who brought him.“You guys are ready to become renegates? You do know that f

“Don’t tell me to shut up!” Sarah jumps on me and grabs the collar of my armor, creating a road for the headpriest to escape inside. This girl is going to have me killed if I don’t pay attention.“Why are you so excited? You are not usually like this.” What is going on with her?“What? You don’t like it?” She looks at me as if I am forced to say no.“Frankly speaking, yes, I don’t. It is worse than back on earth. You and I have no relationship together, what is it that interest you so much about me? Weren’t you more friends with all those inside?” I think it is time to cut my ties with her before she starts becoming a hindrance.“What if I want to be in a relationship with you then?” She blushes all of sudden. Being a relationship with me? Wait…oh, okay.“No, it would stupid and a waste of time.” I don’t have that long to live because

“Is that him?” As soon as someone finally lifts his head, I ask Sarah to identify whether it is him or not.“Hm…I” It seems it is him.“Good.”I walk among to the others and reach the guy then I hold his arm and stick our bracelet together. It is extremely weird that it survived the ice from earlier but if it is a gift from their god, it should at least be able to do so, right?“W-what the hell?!”Our bracelets shine for a second then returns to normal. The guy and all the people around get surprised. While they start whispering, a window pops up before my eyes but I close it. I already know what it is going to say.“Let’s go.” I turn around and leave. Nobody will ask anything so I won’t explain anything. But it wouldn’t be good that I involve them in my problems, at least not if they want to. I stop at the door and look at them before leaving. David especia

The monsters on my way don’t pay much attention to me. Once again, it seems their order or whatever is driving them makes them follow a clear path. I pass by some of them without trouble and finally, as I reach the pillar, the view isn’t funny. A lot of people are encased inside the ice. Their faces, their mouths opened…I can somehow guess how painful it must have been.“Do you enjoy this?” The commander is sitting before that pillar, watching it silently.“I wonder as well. I have tried to think about this countless time now, but it seems I can’t find pleasure in this.”“Maybe because those who were the targets of your revenge are dead already.”“Perhaps. It would explain that void I feel.” He stands up and I can feel the presence of his assassin in the area. So it is going to be two vs one then. I better be extra careful.When the commander turns to me, he is holding his swo

“Y-you…despicable…hero.”Thanks to the fire explosion that occurred right when we were about to clash, I was able to win. The fire explosion offset his attack and allowed me to land my strike perfectly while his…“Half of the castle…damn.”A whole side of the castle as well as the mountain behind it are destroyed. Most of the debirs are encased in ice as well. Though I can’t see all of it since it is nighttime.“You…betrayers…”Warren is heavily wounded. His demonized side is bleeding all over while his stomach is open. His face has completely turned back to that of a human.“I should hurry up.”I don’t know about me, but I am sure the other people fighting are still having a hard time. I wouldn’t want to find myself alone against all the flooding monsters once the knights and soldiers are submerged.I go to the commander

The smell is pretty awful here, after all.” David immediately starts off with his usual verbal bullying. He must have missed it since we came here. Has been a month? I think it has been about a month now.“I guess you just came to talk.”“Talk?” He gives a gold coin to the soldier who takes it with a smile and leaves. Then he brings out a whip from a bag he had concealed under his clothes. “You are a maggot, a parasite that keeps crawling back when it is supposed to quietly disappear. What can I talk with such inferior being?”Saying so, he uses the whip a first time but it hits the bars of the cell instead.“You should open the cell first if you want to do this.”“Shut up!! Stop trying to act like you aren’t scared. I know that you are!! You always were!!”He uses it again and it hits the bars another time. This guy must have bottled up a lot of pressure. I didn’t
