Chapter 126. Forr Hero – Consults about future plans
[Ju…Just hold on a minute.]
Once I understand what Leon is trying to say, I ask him to stop talking for the ti being.
Actually, I don’t understand anything from what he has been saying even if I stop him.
A command from the demon lord to the Four Heavenly Kings not to intervene with either or my companions?
Wait no, this is weird.
What has my na got to do with it?
This is making look like the demon lord’s snitch or sothing.
Of course, Leon probably thought out about that as well.
That’s why he’s been observing my actions. I see, I get it now.
No, wait. That’s not what I should be thinking about right now.
What have I been doing the last two days?
I’ve finally broken Leon’s holy sword. Also, their party has decreased by one mber.
What the hell.
That makes it completely look like a job of the demon lord’s underling.
Right now, there’s only Leon and Yunikram in here. That ans Aura and Caroline don’t know about this, probably.
If they knew it, Aura would’ve probably said nothing about becoming my wife to begin with.
They would’ve definitely looked at with suspicion.
No wait, I shouldn’t be thinking like that right now.
As a matter of fact, I have no deep connections with the demon lord at all.
There has to be a multitude of ways to clear these doubts.
What I should be thinking right now has to be… Why did the demon lord lay his
eyes on ?
[ Leon, Yunikram. I will tell you right now that I definitely have no connections to the Demon Lord.]
[…Okay]
Leon nods to my words.
Of course, I’m still not in the clear for now.
[ Also, I have to confirm sothing from you two. Andalugia… Agranix… Do these words ring a bell to you?]
[Andalugia? Agranix…? No… I don’t recognize those. What about you, Yunikram?]
[Nope, it doesn’t ring a bell.]
I knew it. These two don’t know about that.
[ Let’s analyze the situation first. Does Haruto-san rember anything concerning the earlier directive from the demon lord?]
Leon asks .
I don’t recall anything. That’s why I want to find out…
What should I do?
I have no idea why the Demon Lord is giving special treatnt like this.
But still, I have to clear their doubts of , which would make things better
Do I have to talk about myself huh…
I’ve already talked about this with the girls. Of course, there is no way those two right here will trust that easily.
Ah, no, Rithina isn’t familiar with Leon.
However, I think I can trust Leon on this after all the events that happened so far.
At the very least, I want him to know that all these misconducts are not intentional.
Leon is… As a forr hero, I could say that he’s actually a really good and honest person to the point that I could get jealous. I actually think he’s like an ideal hero, which are depicted in picture books.
[No, I don’t. Just one last thing, I want to confirm sothing. Are you sure it’s not just soone with the sa na?]
For now, I’ll have to destroy the uncertainties in my mind.
[About that, I’ve done my search here. There is no one with the sa na. In the first place, the fact itself that soone uses his surna first is unheard of.]
Yunikram answered without hesitation.
Is it really that weird for family nas to be first?
There’s like 8 people on the lower floor right now you know?
Of course, it’s not like that.
[I see.]
It’s not a case of mistaken identity, huh.
No, it hasn’t been settled but the chances are low.
Hmm…
[Haruto-san. You have given us questions to which we have replied. . So, please hear . What you said earlier… “Andalugia” and “Agranix” just what are those? It doesn’t ring a bell to but why did you ask us about those?]
Leon asked straightforwardly, probably interested in the only thing I ntioned earlier. .
This can’t be helped. I’ll talk.
[Alright, Alright, I’ll explain it you but hold on a second.]
He’s close. Really close.
He got too giddy and ca close to step by step.
I stepped back to gain distance, then I explained it to them.
[Andalugia is… a different place from here that I’ve been to before, a parallel world.]
[?…a different place…. a parallel world?]
[That’s right, a parallel world. At first, due to the circumstantial evidence, I believed this world to be a different one. But since the demon lord recognized , that made suspicious of whether this was the case. ]
[ Uh-huh…?]
Leon and Yunikram’s faces look confused as I explained it.
Well of course, I will not get a “I see, is that so?” response from that explanation.
I’ll make a detailed explanation later.
[Next is Agranix. That one is…]
I got caught in my words for a mont.
I never thought I would be able to say this once again.
[That is… The na of the Demon Lord I slayed.]
[…What?]
After collecting my thoughts and saying it, Leon and Yunikram let out a truly high pitched voice, kinda like the sa as I announced my proposal to get married with Aura.
[Haruto-san… Slayed the demon lord…? No, but… What… Do you even an…?]
And now, the two are really confused.
The stoic Yunikram is making a rare reaction, it’s kinda funny.
Wait, let’s focus right now.
[Ah- Calm down you two. I’ll give more details, but I haven’t slayed the Demon lord yet.]
[Uhh… Yeah, O-okay…]
Based on Leon’s voice and reply, I wonder if he understands ?
[By the way, what’s the na of the Demon Lord here?]
[T-the Demon lord’s na? Uhh, I think it goes with the na… Ra…Ragia.]
Leon being confused looks really funny.
The Demon Lord’s na is well known in this world.
But Ragia huh.
Demon Lord Ragia. I can’t really recall anyone with that na.
It’s obvious that it’s not Andalugia… But still, how co my na was called out in the Demon Lord Ragia’s command?
I have no clue.
I’ll just have to focus on explaining it to Leon and Yunikram first.
[Let’s continue this downstairs. Aura and Caroline aren’t familiar with the Demon Lord’s orders , right? Let’s gather everyone, and then I’ll fully disclose everything.]
[A-Alright then…]
And then the three of us left the rooftop.
===========
[Well then, what’s the aning of this?]
Evening.
As I gathered all the hero’s party, I explained my history.
While explaining about the Demon Lord’s command, Aura got mad at Leon and Yunikram for concealing it from her investigating , but she was sowhat cald down after that. Then the info sharing was over.
Anyways, Leon and Yunikram looked convinced after all of that maybe except for the Demon Lord’s command.
Caroline looked still confused, but I’ll leave that to Leon.
[ … ]
Everyone is deep in their thoughts and no one has a clear answer for that. Obviously.
[I believe that we should need to look for more info if that Andalugia that Haruto-san talked about is a world different from this one]
Leon suggested.
[Right. I also want more confirmation. But, if it’s actually just the sa, where might we find the proof? Then again, if it’s different, then they won’t be any proof to begin with]
[Is that even true?]
Tanya nonchalantly asked .
This girl, even if she listened to Leon, she probably didn’t pay attention to it.
[Yeah. What was it again? Sothing like a demon’s proof? Or maybe not.]
[What’s that?]
It’s too troubleso to explain it now.
[Well, sothing like that.]
I pat her head to avert her attention.
[～?]
Tanya looks so comfortable that she forgot what she asked and begins to purr. What a simple girl.
[So uhm… That golem, wasn’t it part of the Demon Lord’s army then?]
I almost forgot the problem at hand as I was touching Tanya’s squishy sides, Celes said sothing.
[Ah! That golem huh. I see. There was sothing like that.]
That reminds , there was sothing like that.
It would be obvious if that golem was part of the Demon lord’s army, then it would probably recognize .
It was story about a golem in an underground labyrinth leading the monsters to attack.
Hmm?
Assuming that the golem is part of the Demon Lord’s army, then wouldn’t that orb on the basent of capital church headquarters be part of it as well?
If that’s the case, the church and the Demon Lord’s army have connections, if we draw a line there….
[?]
As I watched over Leon, Leon made a look of “Is sothing wrong?”.
Wait, don’t tell .
If that’s true, then Leon wouldn’t talk to about the Demon Lord’s command.
But then…wait.
[Leon. Did you beca a hero after being blessed by the church?]
[Eh? Ah, Yes. That’s right.]
Leon was a little surprised with my question.
[ Then, under what circumstances? Also, that holy sword, just where did you get that?]
As I asked Leon that question, Rithina glared a little at , but let’s ignore it for now.
Well it’s too late now. I’ll just have to face all of their doubts at .
And of course, I don’t want to talk about her request for to investigate more about Leon.
[Uhh… Is your question relevant to the main subject right now?]
[It may be irrelevant, but since we’re at it, I still want to know about it.]
I was trying to ask for it modestly, but it sowhat raised suspicions.
But then, Leon was ready to answer.
[I don’t have any mories of it so I might not be able to make a clear picture for you but I was under the protection of the church headquarters. The priest who got their hands on the holy sword told I have what it takes to wield it so it was handed over to . If you’re asking about the origins of the sword…. I’m sorry. I don’t have any further details about that.]
After hearing that from Leon, he surely is quite of a character of a Hero.
It looks like he doesn’t really know more about the Holy sword.
[I see. By the way, have you been inside the basent of the church before?]
[The basent? If it’s about the ss hall in the basent, I’ve been there a lot.]
It doesn’t seems like he’s lying.
So that ans, Leon hadn’t seen that orb.
[Hmm.]
[Is there sothing else at the basent?]
As I was thinking, Leon suddenly asked .
I kinda feel bad that I’m hiding facts from them, I want to share it but… I’ll just keep it a secret that I’ve been in that basent before.
It’s good to think that Leon might believe but I think it’s bad that I’ve done it before consulting with Rithina.
[Nope, I just felt that there might be sothing else in there.]
I made it ambiguous. But I’m not lying.
[Is that…so?]
Leon doesn’t look convinced but he didn’t want to ask any more. Sorry about that.
After that, we’ve ran through more conversations but, in the end, we didn’t reach a conclusion.
Of course it won’t end just like that.
But we’ve established future plans.
First of all, we have to prioritize knowing the Demon lord’s commandants. I don’t know the Demon Lord’s intentions so as long as I have those as leads. I don’t have anything else aside that.
Next, I’ll have to confirm if this world is Andalugia or not, I’ll have everyone search for it.
Also about Leon’s broken holy sword, he’ll have to return to the kingdom of Millis to report about it.
In addition to that, we’ll have to use the sword demonstrated by Kagura-san as a substitute to the holy sword.
With that, using my magic, it’s a fact that it’ll be superior to any other swords.
I’m not sure how that will turn out but this will just be a temporary substitute.
We have to do it ourselves as, after the tournant, next will be Rithina’s thieves subjugation request.
Our’s and hero’s party’s ways overlapped.
To sum it up: first we’ll have to go to Kagura-san and make our swords. After that, we’ll head to Odysseus then go back to the kingdom of Millis.
From that point onwards, we will decide whether we’ll continue to cooperate or go our separate ways.
If we’ll be working together with Leon, the Demon Lord’s army might interfere along the way.
[That sounds like a lot of work so I guess I’ll have to put aside the newlywed life with my husband for later!]
Aura proclaims it ecstatically after that eting.
The tension from after all that talk was gone because of Aura’s sudden proclamation.
Being straightforward and not reading the atmosphere, is this an advantage or a disadvantage?
I guess I call it an advantage for now.
Even after saying all of that, Aura seems to wholeheartedly confident in . I’m simply happy.
A sweet newlywed life. Sounds good.
I can already picture it; Aura in a naked apron.
My image of a newlywed life is a naked apron. I’m quite surprised at myself right now.
[That’s right! Haruto will win the tournant that will warm his chest, let’s make this big. Kagura. Take your ti in making that sword.]
[Eeh? Doesn’t that make it unfair for ? How cruel! I’ll make it. Super fast. the sword. Right away!]
Riding with Aura’s shenanigans, Laurier said sothing unreasonable. And Kagura-san complained to it.
Big huh… Now I feel like retorting here, but let’s wait for now.
After that, I’ll be thrusting “that”. Just kidding. Hahaha.
Also, even if she doesn’t make it quick, I’ll be sure to pamper Kagura-san. Uhehe.
A lot of things happened, and I’m quite worn out after all of that.
