Hero Blessed By The Demon King, The Largest Human Traitor!? Volume 1 Chapter 2

Chapter 2: A human heart is essential (Haha)

From the demon castle built in the mountains is a plain that lay a two-day walk to the south east. There was a solid castle city surrounded by walls and the area had a large river flowing through with rich fields. The name of the country was The Boa Kingdom; the one that had sent the 6000 soldiers and got eliminated by a Demon. Rumours say that a legendary Demon King appeared in the suburbs and the rumour that the military had been defeated by it had already spread to all the citizens and when travellers are attacked, the shadow of anxiety spread far. However, only a group of drunks drinKing at the bar were cheering as if they didn't know the meaning of fear.

“No, I died flashily again”

“I couldn't do anything. That's how the enemy is, so it can't be helped"

“......Hmm”　

A laughing Ranger agreed with a voluptuous female witch and reticent male Warrior.

“It is a little disappointing though" 　

A Knight nodded deeply when an adult-like female priest said so.

“That's right. But we will win in the end"

It was declared so with pride and arrogance. Yesterday, they couldn't even injure that Demon King, because they were completely annihilated by the Demon King. But it was all within calculations as they had challenged many times while knowing that they weren't an opponent for the enemy.

“That blue Demon King is strong. However, if we attack every day and he uses such powerful magic each time, then his magic will run out" 　

Magical power─the power to develop magic. Even if it runs out once, if you take enough rest, it will recover naturally. However, the speed is never fast compared to the maximum allowable amount. If you are an apprentice level magician, you will be fully recovered if you spend your magical power for a day. However, it takes two days for first-cla.s.s users like  female magicians and healers to recover. The same goes for that terrible Demon King. It is like the act of keeping pond water with cups, but if it is finite, the end will definitely come.

“For that reason, we leave behind the enemies corpses, right?" 　

Distorting the edge of his mouth, the Ranger makes a bad smile. If they leave without burning the corpses, the defeated enemy will revive over and over again with resurrection magic. At first glance, the act that seemed stupid, but it was effective in shaving off the demonic power of the Demon King.

“His minions are so weak, the Demon King is pitiful” 　

Recalling the appearance of the Orcs and small demons that were easily knocked down by her magic, the female magician gives a throaty laugh. She didn't feel a shred of guilt in depriving them of their lives. That's because they are justice and they were the evil that must be eradicated from this world.

“Hey hey, don't get so conceited because they're all weak except for the Maou" 　

The Knight was careful, but of course, he didn't say it seriously. That's because they were sure that they would never lose. Since, even if they die, they will revive indefinitely.

“We are『The Heroes of the G.o.ddess』. We won't bring shame to that name so we must fight well!" 　

The Knight declares so majestically, while his friends agreed to that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“In other words, they are aiming for attrition?" 　

Shinichi strongly nodded while eating some unusual and mysterious meat again in the dining room. After just receiving a brief explanation of magic and magical power from Ceres, he grasped the purpose behind the reckless conspiracy of the Knight party.

“Maou-sama, if their attacks continue, how many more days will your magical power last?"

“I have another year or two"

“Eh, then the fact that the recovering of magic power is slow......”　

Shinichi was confused as to the truth of what was just said as it juxtaposed the previous explanation, so the Demon King answered with a snort.

“Huuhh, that would be the story of an ordinary man, but don't go putting them on the same plane as me the blue Demon King! The magical power consumed by using teleportation and resurrection magic several times is recovered overnight"

“Is that so”　

Shinichi kept in mind what was said ─ it was impressive after all.

“I supplement through ultra-fast recovery of magical power which is a special const.i.tuent of a Demon King. Although the recovery speed of a common demon is higher than a human, it seems that there isn't much difference" 　

Ceres' face was neutral, but her brown skin appeared to be slightly pale. It would be because she was responsible for so many resurrections which would burden even the Demon King.  

“Well, can't you call stronger minions from Makai?" 　

Shinichi suggested, in order to alleviate Ceres' burden.

“Even if they aren't as strong as Maou-sama, if they can repel that Knight party and the dozen who follow. Then the number of demons that are killed uselessly would decrease and the human side would realize that it is difficult to raid, and so they may give up” 　

Although it was a really good opinion, the Demon King who was told so clouded his face.

“It is as Onii-san says, but stronger demons are more violent......."

“Those battle maniacs would ignore Reno's wish, to not kill a human!"　

Maou mercilessly abused the men that annoyed his daughter, but everyone except himself knew the fact that he himself is also a person with great bloodl.u.s.t.

(But, it is strange that there are only weak demons) 　

Contrary to the severe appearance, the Knights were easily bruised. It was because they were brought to the human world from another, so only weak and temperate demons were selected from the beginning. Although they were weak, if it was an ordinary person like Shinichi, they would kill him with a single punch.

“Anyway, we must hope for reinforcements. If Maou-sama's magical power isn't exhausted, then there is no chance of being defeated─”

“My patience is already at its limit"

“Auu......”　

Seeing the twitching vein on his forehead, Reno gives an apologetic look. The gentleness that she doesn't want to kill a foreign race called humans is undoubtedly her beauty. However, it was a fact that she killed the movement with her selfish mind and eventually caused the current predicament. The extreme story was, even if the Demon King killed all humans, the mysterious power would revive them just as it had many times before with those Knights so it would be useless. Because Shinichi understood it, Reno tried to say sorry.

“Dad, I won't tell you that the dishes aren't tasty anymore, so let's give up and go home to Makai"

“What are you saying? Daddy can fight even a thousand years if it is for Reno!"

“Dad I trust you. But, as it is, Kalbi-san and Rosu-san will be killed for real......"　

It was good so far because they were able to resurrect, but if the corpses are burned, it isn't certain that they won't die for sure.

“But again, I have to destroy humans" 　

The subject cannot be sacrificed and it is the quickest for the Demon King to kill all humans.

“Th, That is......” 　

Reno couldn't find the words to persuade her father, so she anxiously looks around. And the person who held the most persuasive power in this place─Shinichi whose eyes met with her eyes.

“Huu, I can't refuse if there is a request from a beautiful little girl"

“What are you saying, you pervert”　

Shinichi gently shrugs his shoulders and stands up listening to Ceres' muttering and he walked up to the Demon King and told him.

“Maou-sama, I understand your irritated feelings, but stop killing humans. That's because, isn't it a waste to annihilate them"

“Why is it a waste?"

“Ah, since you came to the human world for its delicious meals and humans know best how to collect and cook delicious things in the human world. Therefore, it is a waste to kill them"

“Hmm......”　

To the rational theory, the Demon King nodded unintentionally.

“But isn't it enough if it's anyone else?"

“I'm a human from a different world. I can cook for a while, but I don't know what this delicious thing is or how to grow them"

Shinichi grew up in an ordinary household of salary workers and don't have any special skills to plant rice, harvest time, how to catch fish in large quant.i.ties in the sea or how to handle cows.

“It's more efficient for magicians to merely harvest results only by letting humans do the research rather than farming and cooKing from scratch. In addition─” 　

Shinichi tells with an evil smile.

“Isn't it too boring to just punish those stupid humans who have defied the Demon King by giving them the momentary pain during death?” 　

Humans will have fear, despair and submission rather than drinKing the sake of victory. That will also be so for the blue Demon King of Makai.

“Huhuhu, that is true. Shinichi is suitable for being evil"

“No No, I'm not like Maou-sama”

Shinichi who likes evil plans responded to the Demon King that spoke of evil deputies by replicating Echigoya. Then, the splendid Reno who was also here would be persuade herself─

“Onii-san, I'm more scared of you than the demons......”

“Whaattt!?”　

Because of Reno, humanity would be saved from extinction but her father would become the villain, which really scared her.

“Baka, my performance was perfect......!"

“it was too perfect serious, you didn't realise?" 　

Shinichi was a little shocked and went back to his seat with Ceres's Tsukkomi. He misunderstood Reno´s meaning by mistake.

(Onii-san, thank you)

To Shinichi who'd pretended to be the villain Reno gave him a smile.

“Reno-chan......” 　

With such an angelic smile, Shinichi´s heart began to rise without thinKing, but he felt a cold gaze from the maid and a murmur from the Demon King, so Shinichi immediately cried out at the misinterpretation.

“Cough......if you add another one, you better stop returning to Makai from today"

“Why is that?"

“If you're afraid and run away, then the human side may race and attack Makai"　

Saying that, he gazed towards Ceres, and the capable maid answered his intention.

“Everyone can do it if teleportation magic can be used to transfer between Makai and the human world. The question is whether the human side knows the position of the Makai world, but if they search for the residuals of the magical power attached to this with magic between this castle and the main castle in Makai, they will know before you realise it” 　

Then, if they attack Makai, it will be h.e.l.l. Of course, for the humans.

“All the strong and blood-ridden demonic races will be killing and overflowing into the human world. Can Maou-sama stop them?"

“Haa? I can't stop them!”

“Yeah, I thought so" 　

If the strong blue Demon King can't stop them then no one can stop them.

“Auu, when such a thing happens, then the humans...... "

“I guess they'd all be killed. That's why there is neither exit nor withdrawal, of course"　

Even if they go to h.e.l.l, humanity will unknowingly be stuck in a blind alley of h.e.l.l without a way to escape.

“Reno just wanted to eat delicious meals, why do they do this......" 　

Regretfully her own small selfish regrets have incurred a tremendous inconvenience to humans and Reno sheds heartfelt tears.

“Not bad! Reno isn’t bad! All humans are bad!" 　

Shinichi talks faster than the Demon King and Ceres and comforts Reno unconsciously.

“Well, returning to the subject. Those cheaters who are infinitely revived──for the sake of convenience we call them 'Heroes', but how do we defeat them?”

“Yes, that's why we called you for that task. Please work hard"

“Don't talk so offhandedly with people!”　

It was frustrating for Ceres who had such poisonous speech, but in fact, Shinichi already found the answer to their problem.

“We are already thinKing of a way to beat the Heroes. But for that, first you must catch them"

“Capture?”　

So while rephrasing, Ceres looks at the Demon King. With the mighty powers of the Demon King, it is easy to capture the Knights, but it was a difficulty to kill the momentum and them.

“So, I'm thinKing of setting up a trap to catch them, but where do they come from?"

“Muu, where are those humans?”　

The Demon King who finished consoling his daughter holds his palm while returning to the story. Then, the image of a bird's-eye viewpoint like a satellite photograph appears in the air.

“The middle is my castle and the one on the lower right of the castle is the nearest human city. It will probably be here"

“Close, is it ten kilometres away?"

“It will be about 18 goats (about 60 kilometres)"

“As expected of Translator-sensei, it even converts the units"　

Shinichi tilts his head in surprise while seeing all of the content translated.

“The Heroes who died once perhaps are resurrected in this town, but is it really 60 kilometres away? No matter how hard it is, it is difficult to walk this distance in a day. Will you use magic?"

Convenient movement magic is also a cla.s.sic of fantasy indeed, as the Demon King had repeatedly used teleportation magic.

“Perhaps, the Heroes are also coming with teleportation magic?"

“I wonder if it is so"

“No, is teleportation magic easy to use?"　

Since it is often located in the highest level in games, I thought whether it was so in this world. Of course, in order to reduce the complication of movement, there was also a game that made use of it from the beginning, but the phenomenon teleportation wasn't realized even in the 21st century science and was a miraculous power. It would be normal to think that it is a difficult cla.s.sification. To such a doubt, Ceres answers again.

“No, it cannot be used easily; Maou-sama is only joKing"

“Oh, is that so?

“Huu, my strength is terrifying"　

LooKing at them nodding, the Demon King puts it on in vain, seeing such a bizarre and weird creature Shinichi remained silent under the gaze of the maid.

“But that way of saying, can you use it if it's not easy?"

“Yes, draw magic diagram over a few hours at starting point and arrival point, if it is between two points engraved in memory, it is possible to go back and forth somewhat easily"　

Still it is said that it requires a certain level of quality and several minutes of mental concentration for it to activate. If no magic diagram or chant was used, it would be like the story of the Demon King who appeared where ever they liked in an instant which itself was out of the norm.

“Well, is it a momentary movement with a magic diagram ...?"

“Do you want to find the arrival points and destroy them?"

“No, I won't destroy them"　

Shinichi instantly denies the Ceres's idea. Once you destroy the magic diagram, they'll be delayed by a couple of days, but next time it would only be drawn in places that will be difficult to find.

“Yes, I won't destroy them" 　

Shinichi lifts the edge of his mouth when he thought of a better plan. That smile was more wicked than that of the Demon King.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“All right, I'm going to be enthusiastic today"　

During the day when the red sun rises to the top, the Knight party began preparing for the teleportation magic in order to attack the Demon King which had become a routine. The place is the Knight hall, which is in the lower n.o.bility district of the Boa Kingdom.

“Everyone, get in the magic square"　

Following the instructions of the female magician, all five of them have set foot on the huge magic square on the floor.

“The Demon King has been weakened, too"

“That's right, if we can, I'd like to take him down in about five days"

“......Him?”

To the Warrior's short question, the Knight nodded deeply.

“We are the ones who'll defeat the Demon King and get territory and the bounty. I couldn't bear it if it's s.n.a.t.c.hed away from us"

“Well, it feels like we are getting stronger through the fights every day, so let's do our best!"

The female priest also strongly agreed with the Knight's words. When the battle is over, the priest and Knight made a promise to get married, so naturally they're fired up.

“Stop talKing. Let's go"

The female magician, who kept her eyes closed and focused, says so since the teleportation magic was ready.

“All right, I'm counting on you"

“Leave it to me......our bodies, turn into light and run to his place, 『Collective s.p.a.ce teleportation』!"　

The female magician' magic rises and becomes light that wraps around all members. Dazzling light, the sense of up and down and left and right are gone and the view is distorted with something greyish. And the moment they left the magic square, they are brought to the forest a short distance from the Demon King's castle.

“......Eh?”

To understand the anomaly, the Knight's brain took a few seconds of time. He should have opened his eyes, but he can't see anything. He was enveloped by dark like the true darkness of night.

“What, something went wrong with the magic──!?” 　

The Knight tries to look at the female magician and notices a further abnormality. His neck won't move. No, he couldn't move his hands, legs, torso and fingers, too.

“What, what is this!?"

His cry of fear knocks against something in front of his eyes and shakes his eardrums. That's what he noticed. His whole body is covered by something hard, so close that there is no gap between them.

“Why on earth......d.a.m.n it, move”　

Even though he tried to move his limbs with the power of his whole body it was in utter waste. On the contrary, the countdown to despair is premature because of the superfluous struggle.

“Haahaa......breathe......”

In a s.p.a.ce so narrow that they couldn't even move their fingers, the air would run out quickly.

“Out…...let me out of here.....!!" 　

Squeezing out the last of his power he shouted out but it was swallowed by darkness and reaches only one person's ear. All he could do was count the footsteps of the Grim Reaper without knowing anything.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Good, it sounds like it worked well" 　

Shinichi was watching from mere few meters away how the five Heroes were despairing in the dark. To put it exactly, it was not the Knights they were watching, it was the huge rocks they were being surrounded by.

“I have put huge rocks in front of the teleportation destination and locked them in there."

“Guess that's the way" 　

The Demon King who carried the rock with magic admired deeply and Ceres who found this place also with curse magic looked on expressionlessly.

“t.i.tled [※In the midst of the stone※] strategy! I don't know the dangers of teleportation magic, but it's bad to use it"

Even the strongest party will fall completely for atrocious trap like a stone in the teleportation point. This strategy comes from a certain masterpiece dungeon RPG game. The effect depends on the level and we're not so helpless against the five Heroes.

“After all, good old masterpieces are something to keep playing"

“I don't know what it is, but should I throw them into the crater of a volcano afterwards?"

“You shouldn't kill them. Could you let them out of the rock cage when they lose their consciousness?"

“Yes, leave it to me"

When the Demon King looks through the rock with see-through magic, he punches the whole rock after all Heroes fainted.

“Fuunnuu!!”　

Because of that, cracks formed along the huge rocks that exceeded Maou's height and they crumbled down.

“Even if Maou-sama is buried deep in the South Pole, he would be able to escape by himself…..."

“South Pole, what is that?”

“I will explain it later. Well, let's return to the castle, the real thing is going to start now" 　

Shinichi gathered the fainted Heroes that appeared from the rocks and picked them up, before they teleported away with the Demon King's teleportation. Later, the five who were caught were collected. I wonder how happy the Demon King would be if they had suffocated in there.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“......Wh, where is this?"　

The Knight who woke up slowly looks around in vain. It isn't a strange stone room, but at least, unlike the dark world, visible to his eyes. He felt relieved, but as if it had noticed the moment when he was relaxed, an unfamiliar and harsh voice came out.

“Are you finally awake?"

“Who's there!” 　

The Knight tried to leapfrog backwards but his limbs were jerked and broke his balance. Just like a warp, a jerky and loud sound echoes from the end of his limbs. Finally, the Knight realized that his body was connected to the wall with chains.  

“Kuu......!”

“Do you understand the situation? Rest a.s.sured, your mates are safe”　

Looking at the side, the other four people are also restrained by chains on the wall and woke up one after another from the current noise.

“Hey, what's this!?”

“Did we get caught?”

“......Muu”　

The Ranger, priest and Warrior understood the situation and raise a bewildered voice, but all of them are safe. However, there was one person who couldn't be said was alright.

“Let me out......dark, disgusting, painful, scary, let me out......" 　

It is the female magician who seems to be unaware of her surrounding friends and keeps misunderstanding with her blind eyes. She was lacking sanity due to the fear trapped inside a stone.

“Mirida!!”

“Mirida you say? Were you claustrophobic? I was really sorry, but I didn't want to hunt you down"

“Show yourself!”　

The Knight raises his anger, towards the mysterious voice which is supposed to be in the surrounding and caused them to see such a thing. However the reply came from an unexpected direction.

“I'm not hiding from the beginning"

“What!?”　

Looking up, there was no ceiling, but a person standing in the edge. A horrible monster that hid his whole body with a black cloak with only a white face on which a distorted smile was drawn floats in the darkness.

“I am the staff chief of the blue Demon King and my name is──lets call me『Smile』"

“Smile, what a weird name......”

He is looking down at the Knight who swallowed his saliva and Shinichi smiled behind the mask unfaithfully.

(It is interesting that it sounds creepy to the different world people when it emits a sound without translating 『Smile』. Does 『Shinichi Toyama』 also sound like something strange?) 　

Reno also said that it was an unusual sound, but how does it sound in the case of a human? Shinichi was slightly interested, but now he concentrates on his original purpose.

“First of all, I want you to allow me to speak in such a rude state. But if I hadn't done this, I wouldn't have had a conversation with us"

“Conversation?"

“That's right, there seems to be a misunderstanding between us"　

In spite of saying that there is nothing to talk with evil demons, Shinichi spins the words, regardless of the Knight who is staring hard.

“What do you humans think of us demons?"

“I don't know…...but you're dangerous and savage monsters that crawl out from the bottom of the ground!”

“Tens of thousands of years ago, the battle between good and evil with G.o.d has been lost and the evil dragon was sealed deep underground and gruesome demons have erupted since then"　

From the Ranger and the female priest´s answer, Shinichi smiles from getting new information.

(Demons come from the bottom of the earth......that must be 『Makai』 the underground world. And, rarely, there were others who came out of Makai)  　

Originally Reno´s mother who became the origin of this case was one of the demons who appeared in the human world. It seems that she seemed to have been fighting a person who seemed to be strong, even though she was personally unwittingly skilful, it would have spread fear for those who were attacked. Besides, it was natural that humans would be hostile to demons if there was a monstrous tyrant rampaging for similar reasons.

“I see, it seems that my countrymen have made some trouble. But our rave is not going to aggravate with you humans, we want you to understand"　

First apologize and show that there is a will of reconciliation. If they accept this, the futile dispute will be over, but the Knight refused it as expected by Shinichi.

“Don't be silly! Do something like this to us, what are you doing now!"

“That's because you suddenly attacked us"

“You killed three thousand soldiers of the Boa Kingdom, so isn't it natural to attack!"

“Oya, I thought you are the one who sent the army ahead and slaughtered our people"

“Kuu......otherwise, the Kingdom would been attacked and destroyed by you. In the first place, isn't it wrong to occupy the Dog Valley, which belongs to our territory!"

“It is said that it is two whole days away from the Kingdom, where n.o.body lives and the terrain is a wasteland of narrow mountains that doesn't even have roads or signs? Do you have any evidence?"

“Evidence. That mountain is in the territory of the Boa Kingdom where the founders won an important war!"

“Hmm......let's admit that we didn't investigate in detail how the human borders are being established. That's why we have set up such a place; won't you withdraw peacefully if you get some money?"

“Everything in this world belongs to the G.o.ddess and us, no fragments such as land is given to evil demons!"　

No matter how long Shinichi repeated his words, the Knight just refuses without listening to it.

(No, it's a parallel line) 　

So while giving up, Shinichi was satisfied with the harvest. From the Knight's behaviour, it was true that the stories of the demons were true──because they were convinced that humans had attacked first.

(I don't say that there is nothing on the demon side, but the human side is clearly bad. There is no need for pardon)

Even though it is a different world, it's the same human consciousness. Common sense and a conscience that was developed in a peaceful country like j.a.pan. Shinichi got a good reason to throw them away and to become the staff chief of the Demon King with a deepened smile under the mask.

“I'm sorry, I wanted to abandon each other's grudge and build a friendship......” 　

Even for the gentle Reno, it was the best ending, but it was useless because the Heroes themselves refused.

“If you say that you will continue to attack, I will get rid of you"

“Hee, if you can do it, try it!" 　

The Ranger laughs through his nose with Shinichi telling regretfully. Whatever he does, he cannot kill them──no, even if he kills them, they will be revived. Immortality, hence invincibility. They will never lose, so even one of the strongest Demons will lose to them someday. Looking at the Knight who is full of such confidence, Shinichi leaked a wicked smile.

“Kukukuu, don't embarra.s.singly misunderstand me. I'm not saying『I'm going to kill you』 I was just saying, 『I'll take care of you』”

“............”　

To the eerie phrase, the Knight also sensed something. He increased his magical power in silence and began preparing some magic. However, from the facial expression of his determination, Shinichi sees what he will do.

“Oops, I won't let you" 　

Shinichi lightly raises his hand and sent a sign to Ceres who has stood behind him silently. Only then, did the competent maid get everything and descended in front of the Knight in a moment and tightened his neck with one hand.

“Gua......!!”

“I thought that you were going to escape from this place by self-determination. Stop it, there are special boundaries here. It will be impossible to revive for you"

“What!?”

“You're bluffing!"

“If you think so, you can try it"

“......”　

The Ranger inspired by the voices full of margin became strongly silent. Of course, it is a.s.sumed that the barrier is here and the Knight can see it. However, if a slight allegation comes to mind as "Possibly......" it will be impossible for him to self-decide easily and he can earn time to spare.

(Well, from here) 　

As a method of defeating an immortal monster, the most popular thing is『To disable its mobility and seal it forever』. If the entire body is buried in a ma.s.s of iron and it is submerged even in the deep sea, detoxification can be achieved without killing them. However, this method is merely a measure against immortality and cannot be used for opponents who revive even if they die. Although it is absolutely impossible, it is not a practical mean because it is necessary to always keep a close lookout so as not to run away by self-harm.

“After all, I have no choice but to break your heart so that you will never go against me again"

“......!!”　

The female priest shivers from hearing Shinichi´s terrible words. But as an encouragement of her, the Knight roars and pushed Ceres hand away.  

“Are you willing to torture us? Huh, do it if you want to do it!"

“Hou, you're confident”

“Smile-sama"　

Ceres, who was in front of the Knight jumps back easily and return to Shinichi´s side, before advising him.

(Torture is meaningless. All of them are always invoking the magic of 『Pain blocking』)

(Yes, of course)　

The question in one corner of his mind was solved, Shinichi clapped his hands. Even if they say how much they can revive, Shinichi wants to be pardoned, for example that everyone is injured to die and is suffering from wrath. Therefore, the Heroes who had been killed by the Demon King over and over again had magically erased their pain sensation.

(It is probably why you can fight even in the moribund state of HP 1)

While thinking such a thing, Shinichi shifted to another plan.

“Torture and talking are not necessarily the only way" 　

By saying so, he aimed at the female priest.

“Hii......!”

“To soak and muddle a young girl with insults, you are the worst”

“No one said such a thing! No, I was thinking that there are such methods, but don't tell me to do it! "　

The female priest screams and Cere glared with contempt eyes, while Shinichi returned unexpectedly.

“Cough......I am telling you more terrible torture. For example, maybe I will release a lot of it in the hole where you are. " 　

That said, a gla.s.s bottle is taken out of the black cloak and it contained something that was caught in the castle. Moving around with rustling sounds, is something black──

“Gyaaaaaa───!!” 　

Suddenly there was a scary scream that would break your eardrums. Looking surprised at that person, it was the Warrior, who had been silent until now and is trembling with a stiff body.

“Ju, just that...... whatever you do......"

“Well then, you will never attack again──"

“I promise! So, only that black one......"

“Eh, seriously?”　

Shinichi is rather confused by the Warrior´s appearance that has tears floating on his eyes.

“I just put it in. After a cut is applied to your body, honey is painted there and eggs are fed into the wound──”

“Nooooo──!!”　

The Warrior screamed shrill scream like a girl with and fainted from the fear caused by murmuring of the horrible torture with a light tone.

“s.h.i.t, it's despicable to threaten Gordeo with that bug!”

“Is it parting in a place like this......"

“It cannot be helped, if I'm confronted with that bug, I am......"

“Is that all right, for you guys?"　

Even for the Knight who accepts the Warrior's easily, Shinichi can only be astonished.

“It is too frightening for Goki, isn't it?"

“Stay away”　

Shinichi is seeking consent from Ceres, but she expressionlessly moves away from the edge of the room in an instant.

(It's a pity to be hated even here in the different world......) 　

When Shinichi discovered it in the pa.s.sage of the castle, he felt nostalgia as if a living thing of earth existed. However, Shinichi doesn't like it, so he will dispose of the sanitary pests he caught in the bottle later.

“Well, now that the two of you have become useless, do you think you can stop the hostilities to our idea? If not, it's going to be irreversible, isn't it?”

“I refuse! To eradicate the evil demons is a mission imposed on us, the Hero of the G.o.ddess!”

“Hoo, Hero......” 　

While surprisingly or accidentally used the name that was used for convenience from the game, Shinichi made the last decision.

“There is no choice. Use it"

“Certainly, Smile-sama”

After receiving orders Ceres bowed and got off in front of the Knight again. Then raises her claws with her left hand and takes out a small bottle from her pocket with her right hand, before making the Knight drink the liquid that was inside.

“N, guu......gahaa, gehoo......is it poison? It’s useless” 　

If he dies, he will only disappear from here and resurrect, so poison only help him. So from the bottom of his heart, Shinichi gazed at the strong Knight with a pleasant look.

“Certainly it is poison. But you will soon see if it's in vain or not"

“What──guu!”　

According to Shinichi's declaration, the complexion of the Knight changed to a pale blue in a moment.

“Leader, what's up?"

“Healing magic──”

“I won't let you"

And while Ceres stops the female priest, the Knight sweats like a waterfall and trembles.

“Aa......gaa, meguuu......!”

“Let me explain on behalf of the Knight who cannot do it. What I had him drink was one decocting 『Cheki-n Fruit』”

“Cheki-n fruit?”

　

It's no wonder the Ranger didn't know, because it didn't exist in the human world.

“It's a fruit of a plant that grows in Makai. It's very disgusting, but it has a special effect, especially among females"

“Females......no way!!”　

To the priest who seemed to notice something, Shinichi smiled and told her.

“Yes, a medicine that improves your outlook──a laxative" 　

Gugyurururu! The Knight's belly sounded the noise of doom as if it was the correct answer.

“Pl, please remove the chain!"

“You're the one who wanted to pay for our other hand. The insect is too good now”

“Aa, guu......but as a Knight, as the Hero of the G.o.ddess, succ.u.mb to the evil demons......!!”

“It is a splendid resolution. Then, how about staining it with filth?”

“Ho......however, but......!!”　

The Knight looks at the female priest while clenching his teeth in resolution. At the lovely woman who promised to be together with him when this fight is over. She was looking at him without diverting her eyes, fear making her face pale. So, the Knight in front of his lover, finally──

“Don't, don't look at me......ah, AAAaaa───!!”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Guu, uu......” 　

A few minutes later, a man's sobbing voice was echoing in the hole where the Heroes were trapped.

“It's pathetic that adults will seriously cry in public"

“Even though you say so, who brought him to this extent, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”　

Leaking out such a voice, he was rebuked by Ceres, but Shinichi frowns with knitting his eyebrow.

“Oh, yeah? It is a tale like that of a recruit leaking in fear not a first-cla.s.s sniper who'll wait for the target for three days without moving or reacting even if manure is poured over him. I think it's scarier to kill people without being prepared for the amount of dirt you divulge"

Even though it is a different race, the sense of being able to kill the intellectual creatures that can communicate with words without feeling could not be understood by Shinichi.

“Well, let me show you something good here" 　

As he said so, Shinichi stuck to the Heroes, because he had put something in his uniform pocket, which he accidentally brought to this world.  

“This is a magical tool called『Smartphone』, you can take pictures and sounds in front of you and play it again and again "

“Sumaho?”　

In front of the female priest who looked up mysteriously, Shinichi relentlessly pushed the play b.u.t.ton of the video.

『Dont, Dont look at me......Aa, AAAaaa───!!”』

“Nooooooo───!!”　

The Knight who was despised like a dead shouts to the ruining sound echoing again, but Shinichi stops by pushing the stop b.u.t.ton.

“What will happen if I send this image over the country where you live?"

“──!!?”

“The Tawny Knight, Fertilizer Hero……people will laugh at you while giving you such nicknames"

“Hii!”

“Even if you become a Hero who has defeated the Demon King and saved the world, even if you become a great man whose name is carried over for hundreds of years, people will laugh at this. Indeed, you only need one mistake, such as a general who united my hometown and is laughed at even after 400 years after his death"　

While laughing even at the back of his mask, Shinichi uses his smartphone to scare him, telling him he will be laughed at even after his death.

“Well, you never have to──”

“I won't disobey! I swear, so please......!!”　

Before the end of the sentence, the Knight desperately wanted to shed tears of blood and squeezed out words of pet.i.tion.

“Leader......”

In such a miserable appearance, the Ranger shows disappointment in his eyes. However the female priest who was left untouched turned her eyes towards the filthy Knight.

“Luzar, please raise your face. Everyone is cared for when excretion is seen by others when they're a new born baby and again when in their old age when death comes. That's why I have no remorse"

“But a good adult like this…..."

“It is not your fault; it is due to a malicious savage measure of that demon, what do you need to be ashamed of. You are a Hero of the G.o.ddess who fought for her people...... and you´re my lover"

“Minya......”　

With a dazzling smile like a true lady, the Knight forgets the discomfort of his lower body and stares at the woman he loves. In the spectacle of such an impression, Shinichi deeply nods──

“I will show it to the world."

“EEee──!!?”

“Such a b.a.s.t.a.r.d”

To hide it behind the jealousy of the Riajuu, the masked man partic.i.p.ated in the plan, poured on along with relentless jeers from the maid beside him.

(TL note : google Riajuu, not sure whether he is the Riajuu or it’s talking about the world’s Riajuu-s )
(EN: probably referring to the knight. The term Riajuu is an abbreviation of a j.a.panese phrase that means "A person who lives a fulfilling real life." Details: http://www.funj.a.panese.net/whats-a-riajuu/)
