Yuna was in a great hurry to bring the food to her mouth when Effa brought her a meal.
'No one's going to steal it, so take your time and eat."
"Hmph."
" It's not very convincing if spoken with a cheek full of food already in one's mouth.
--But then again, she's a hero .......
The hero is the greatest asset in the fight against the mastermind, the Grand Duke Kasteen.
In the original story, it is the role of the heroes to defeat him.
However, the problem is Yuna's equipments.
She was carrying a wooden stick, which means that she had just started her journey.
Her level is probably 1.
At his current level,she would probably be defeated by any monster in the area.
But if considering the future, it would be more helpful if she stayed in this territory.
Kurt looks at Yuna, who is eating.
From all accounts, it doesn't look like she's going to uncover the mystery of the mastermind behind all this and defeat the Demon King.
Perhaps there is more than one hero.
'Haaah, that was delicious. Thanks."
"No, don't worry about it. I'd like to ask you something important , okey?"
Of course. I'll make sure I return the favor for staying one night."
--No, no, no one has said anything about staying over night
But I couldn't just leave a hero who would fall down if the wind blows like this. I was going to have to let her stay the night after all.
I see. Then may I ask you to tell me about the heroes?"
There might be some discrepancies with the game information he knew.
He asked Yuna to confirm that as well.
, "Hmmm, yes. I don't really understand it either. I was suddenly summoned by the church and told, 'You are the hero."
It seemed that it was the church, not the king, that assigned a hero.
'The church ...... means that it was the saint who told you that?'
'Yes."
'Well, .......'
Then it might be better to call Irma as well, so that more details can be learned about the hero.
"There is a saintly apprentice in this territory too. May you call on her?"
"Of course."
Effa was asked to call Irma.
In the meantime, he asked Yuna about the hero in more detail.
"In the first place, what does it mean that this equipment is the mark of a hero? It's just a wooden stick, correct?"
That's not true! This was given to me by the king after I was chosen to be a hero, you know? He said it was a weapon suitable for a hero. After that, the minister who was nearby taught me many things about how to act like a hero. He also taught me how to earn money by scavenging for vases, chests, and crowbars".
"Didn't he ask you to do something else? Like defeating the demon tribe or fighting the Demon King?"
"I think he might have asked me to save the kingdom. But I'm too busy with my daily life to think about that deeply.
It is true that it is difficult for her to survive , so it can't be helped.
It was unbelievable that the king would send her off in such a situation in the first place.
He didn't give you any money for giving me such a risky request?"
'He did give me a silver coin as an advance, though, you know?'
--A child's allowance!
Kurt couldn't help but shout.
At the same time, he wondered how she could accept such a request.
'...... Why don't you stop being a hero?'
'No, I'll still try my best if someone needs help."
"But if you can't eat because of it, how can you continue?"
Well, that's true. ......
"Then why don't you come work for me here in the territory? I've got a lot on my plate right now and I could use some help."
Since there was a middleman, he should have been hired after investigating in detail what kind of person it was.
In fact, she had already been deceived in so many ways that it was worrisome.
In particular, the fact that she was asked to save the country but was not given any equipment, which did nothing out of the ordinary in the game, but when looking at what was actually being done to her, there was a lot of strange things going on.
What is it alright? I am just so clumsy. ......"
"I'm going to give you a task that you can do."
I'll do my best then!"
Yuna clenched her hands and was full of energy.
◇ ◇◇◇
"Kurt-sama. I've brought Irma."
"What do you want from me?"
I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. About the relation between the hero and the saint. ......
"Oh, ......, it's something I have to keep secret, you know? Why are you asking me this?"
'Actually, I wanted to know if this person is hero and what kind of work she is able to do. I thought it might be helpful if there were standards for determining if someone is a hero.
"I see what you mean. It's a shame, though. The standard for certification as a hero is based on a saint's hunch. Besides, each saint is assigned once a year. Most of them don't make it back alive."
It sounded like a rather dark story.
Yuna's face turned pale when she heard this.
Yuna's face paled when she heard this.
'That's rather more likely. There are very few saints who have the ability to appraise, so it is usually because they have crossed paths on the street or something like that."
It was a shocking fact.
If that is the case, Yuna may not be considered as an asset.
"Who the hell are you?"
Yuna asked in a weak voice.
Irma put her hands on her waist and said in an arrogant manner,
But she was like an older sister who has no choice but to go along with her younger sister who is acting so high and mighty.
"I am the greatest alchemist of all time. ......"
She's the exploding saint."
"Don't give me strange titles!"
The two arms are put around Kurt and he resists.
I see you call yourself the Explosion Saint. That's a very good name."
'...... Hey, is she really okay?'
Irma gives a dubious look.
'I'm rather worried about her deceptiveness.
'Oh ......, that's what it is. I'm sure you never know what she might do.
Kurt was trying to hold back the urge to say, " Don't say that "
