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

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

HIRVIN OTUN POV:“Sigh…”Walking really is tiring. I have been walking for a week and it is seriously getting tiresome now. It’s true that it helps me as well since I got to hear some news here and there on my way to the capital.The most surprising one I heard was about Stephenson, he was sighted near the capital as well. The travellers talking about him said that a pervert was seen chasing a woman, butt naked, with only his top armor on. It could have been anybody but the description of the armror matches his too much.As for the other rumors, one was about a hole that suddenly appeared in a city where there was a fight among heroes. I didn’t know those brats fought among each other to the point it was known to the public. I wonder who it was. Surely, Tennessee’s daughter was involved. She is taking too much after her mother; no, actually, from both parents. Especially the tendency to involve in everything thing, eve

I can’t even tell I manage to survive their assault the first time.Even now, more than two weeks later, they are still on my tail. Whenever I rest for more than four hours, I can hear them coming, stomping on everything as they look for me.If I was alone, I would probably fight them, but sadly, I am not.“Even after carrying you around for all this time, you are still heavy as hell.”I put the girl down near a tree with enough shade and sit to rest my back a bit.It is really difficult to carry someone who is unconscious.

“There is no way to go back other than the one known by the headpriest. Which reminds me, why are you guys here if the demon king has been defeated? Shouldn’t they send you back?”“How do you know the heroes are sent back when they have defeated the demon king?” This woman…she is starting to piss me off with her questions.“Calm down. Will’s master was a hero in this world as well. Isn’t that right?” Will, how much did you reveal to this guy? Did you trust him that much?Telestal looks at me and after I nod, the heavy atmosphere that was settling dissipates.“Then, can you help us?” One of the heroes finally open his mouth. It was about time, I thought you guys were mute.“Help you?” The whole lot of them stand up like a single body and move over to me.“Yes, bring us back, please. You came to pick up Will, right? Then bring us back!!”&ld

“Wait a minute, aren’t you Will’s father?” It seems Gordon’s son recognized me. I wonder when he saw me. I don’t remember hanging out with their children that much.“W-what?” The knight who was advancing to me turns around with a trembling voice then looks back at me with teary eyes. “Is it true?”He asks me as if it would change his whole life.“What do you-”“Are you truly his master?” He asks a different question now.“His master?” Wait, did he know Will? “Did you perhaps know him?”“I…” The knight kneels before me and lowers his head. “I am the one who failed to educate him when he came to this world. Should you blame anyone for his death, I should be the one to bear that grudge.”“Well, that was unexpected.”Since I found someone who knew him, I decided to stick with the group of heroes for

“Don’t falter!! There is not much of them left on this side!!”“Aim for the eyes!! The skin is too tough for the arrows!”When I reach the place of the battles, most of the houses have been levelled up by the monsters in the area. What surprises me is that they seem to come from the sea. Why and how were they able to swim to here? What even happen that could lead to this situation?“Why do I even think about it?”I run past the mercenaries who are fighting and grab one of the two knights who came earlier by the neck.“What is hap-”I don’t give him the time to retaliate in any way and goes through the horde of monsters coming while holding him.The trolls start swinging their arms as soon as I am near them.

“Get serious?” The Valkyrie frowns and a sudden fighting intent fills the place, making the air heavier. I guess I got her mad. “You arrogant little shit.”The knight with her grabs his sword with two hands and releases his aura to the fullest as well. Well, why not?“let’s see.” I release my aura completely as well and although it is a bit disappointing, I was already aware of the fact that the Valkyrie had a stronger aura.Sadly for her, it is not with the power of your aura alone that you can win a fight.“Be ready!!”“Yes!!”After screaming to the knight, the Valkyrie raises her hands and unleashes a powerful move full of aura. Sigh…You don’t seem to understand. Surely, they are waiting for me to use my skill and create a counter. You never even thought that I could have more than one skill.“That’s why it’s difficult to get serious wi

As she releases her aura, it creates a pressure all around me. Yeah, the Valkyries are still quite powerful.“But this is not really threatening.”“He is a hero!! Be careful!” Under the warning of the guy I was trying to kill just now, the Valkyrie stops and backs away immediately.“All the heroes were brought back to the principality of the god of law and balance for further training, why did you stay behind?”The other knigths join her back, only the guy I was sure to kill stays behind me.“Valkyire of power, I believe he is not with the heroes who came.” One of the knights start speaking with him. It would seem he was present during the summoning ceremony.“Eh? Then what? You are saying he came here by himself?”“I don’t know. But we will need to investigate.”From everything they just said, it seems they don’t know Will defeated the demon ki

In less than two minutes, he puts the fish on a plate and the pink color is shining even more while the fish smells really good. I remove my gauntlets while he prepares the dressing and puts it all around the fish.“Here you go.” He puts the plate before me and the smell is even more fragrant now.“Thank you.”“Wait!!!” Right as I am about to dig into it, the cook stops me, presenting me a small bowl of water. Oh, I forgot.“Sorry, I forgot a little.”“No worries.” The etiquette as they say. I wash my hands first then dig into the fish.AThis…this isn’t as good as I remember. It is true that it smells good but the taste isn’t as I remember. It used to be better. It used to be the best. So how come?“Sir, is there a problem?” The cook seems to be concerned about me.

At my request, the fog puts its finger on her grave once again but this time, Florencia appears. She looks exactly as if she was alive. How come?“Hirvin?”“Y-yes.” I am so surprised to hear her voice that I fumble and bite my tongue. I never thought she would look like this. “I-I-”“What is happening? This…I was not here before, and then I came back?”“It is only a dream, don’t worry.” I wonder how the place where you are now looks like. But I won’t ask. I shouldn’t ask.“I see. Well, it’s true that I do tend to dream a lot. I always had, right?”“Yeah, you were quite the big dreamer, quite the naïve one as well.”“Fufufu. You are always the same. You are too honest.”“Hehe. Not as much as you.”After I say that, silence falls and we don’t say anything for almost a minute.
