The magic car stopped, and the ringing bell rang and we jumped up and down.

“Hey!”

“Luka seems to have come to his senses as well, hiding his face with Kumakichi and looking at me.”

“Maybe it was the strange atmosphere inside the soundproofed magic vehicle.”

That restless feeling was erased by the noise I heard from outside the door that seemed to be heavily opened.

What caught my eye were the forest guards tied to a huge wooden tower.

“Huh?”

“Buddy, it looks like this is a place of execution.”

The gazes of the people who had gathered shifted from the tower to us, and the sound of Luka collapsing was heard.

“Sasa, brave man, please come this way.”

“Kumakichi, Luka please”

He slammed down, closed the door with a bang, and stared at the members of the Hero Association.

“I told you I’d take you home, but you promised otherwise.”

“It’s a misunderstanding, Hero. I thought you might be interested because it was a celebration about the Hero, so I just stopped by.”

“I can’t help but feel that the phrase has something to do with me.”

“Celebration?”

“Yes. Didn’t you get in touch? From now on, we will have a Hellfire Festival to purify the fake heroes with the hero’s fire and let the people know that the true hero was born in Forest End. There. I stopped to check if the hero wants to light it himself.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard it and I can’t believe my ears.”

“Huh? You’re trying to get me to kill someone?”

“There is no such thing! I will not ask the hero to do such a thing.”

“That’s right,” I tried to stroke her chest, but hmm?

“Well, what do you mean by cleanse then?”

“Do you mean lighting the tower of judgment?”

“I feel like my brain has become a slime.”

“You’ll die if you do that, right?”

A chill runs down my spine when I see the smile of the other person who seems to be talking to a monster.

“Oh, don’t worry. He’s not human. In other words, the Hero will not be accused of anything.”

“Ah, 100% good intentions and 100% malice.”

“The eyes that had no doubts about the orders from above.”

“Maybe Fool fell to the demon lord because he was exposed to the malice of manipulating these people behind his back.”

“Kumakichi suddenly came out with a bang.”

“No, buddy. His soul is captured. Words won’t reach him. Let’s just ignore him and go home.”

“Yes. We’re going home.”

“Understood! I’ll send it right away.”

“I was surprised by the sudden turn of the palm.”

“…are you okay?”

“Yes, of course.

“It might have been a good thing that they stopped.”

“Well, please explain.”

“Excuse me. Regarding the flow after this, I will purify the fake heroes with the immortal flame entrusted by the hero. However, anyone can use the fireball, so I don’t have to do anything. And after Izel leaves and the seat becomes vacant, you will become the forest guard captain, but the schedule for the inauguration ceremony will be announced at a later date. Please feel free to ask me anything.I’ll take you home, so please come back.”

“It’s increased.”

“Good to hear.”

“In other words, the Hero’s Association wasn’t satisfied with just pushing the crime of murder, and was going to make them work?” And, somehow, it makes me laugh when I go over the limit.

decided! “I’ll definitely help you.”

“I don’t know if someone will die on their own, but it’s no joke that I’m forced to work in their place.”

“Fufu”

“What happened to the hero?”

smiling.

“Understood! Please guide me.”

“Oh! As expected of a brave man. Thank you for your hard work.”

The moment I made up my mind to crush him, I felt a light impact on the back of my head and was blown away.

“Ah.”

“Why is Kumakichi standing upright when I look up from the ground?”

“Oh, what’s wrong with you buddy? Did this wake you up?”

“Ah, are you worried about me?”

“Are you planning a follow-up combo?” I gently whispered to the lovely misunderstood bastard who kept his fluffy face in close contact.

“I’ll stop the silly fuss.”

“!!!”

I immediately stood up and followed my friend who was shaking quickly and trembling.

“So say hello to Luca”

“I’m a hopeless bastard who’s lost faith. Please, beat me to your heart’s content.”

“No, I’ll try to imitate his tone.”

“Kumakichi, you don’t care if Han is small, right?”

“Ah, buddy!”

“It’s a mystery whether this guy has a gender.”

“This is it. Hero-sama.”

“Yes!”

“Hehe, I’m going to crush your evil schemes,” he secretly sent a signal to Kumakichi and headed for the center of the commotion.
