--That man was apparently an intermediary, sent by the shitty noblemen of King's Landing to frame Nell.

　He raided the demon's lair just in time for Nell to reach the city, pissed her off and made her chase after him with a stench or something, and then stormed the city with an army of sons and daughters.

　

　I'm sure that's why the flirting felt a little forced.
　The truth is, they didn't fight back because of the presence of a brave man, but rather, they wanted to sway the public to believe that so much damage was caused despite the presence of a brave man.

　I'm not good enough to be a brave man, it's the fault of the brave man.

　But since Nell and I had killed the demons, the demons came because of Nell, and this was because of the hero. Suck it, a**h*le.

　Also, that man's employer, a f*cking nobleman who was a mediator, was named Argos Radrio.

　The reason why he tried to frame Nell is to further inflame the current distrust of the brave and dismiss her from her brave position.

　We have not been told the details of his intentions, but my guess is that the purpose is to get a powerful hand by installing a talented person who is a close associate of their faction as a new hero.

　It is certainly true that if you have a brave man who can do your bidding, you will be able to speak big against this country and against the powerful organization, the church.

　...... It's getting kinda boring, isn't it?

　I knew it was a good idea to come along. If I had left Nell alone, something bad might have happened to her.
　We're already under attack from the demons.

　Now that this attack ended in a blank, it wouldn't be surprising if there were more attacks in the future.

　--d*mn it.

　There are too few people in this country who see her as her.

　Nell is a hero.
　She's a hero, but she's also a girl (・・・・・).

　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

　Unlike me, a self-centered, self-centered bastard, she's really a great guy with a strong heart.

　The fact that people who don't know anything about her only see the title of "hero" and complain about her lack of power or try to use her as a political tool makes me want to ...... shoot her to death.

　That's ballsy, really.

　If there are people who only judge Nell by her symbols and try to destroy her for their own convenience, then I will be the one to destroy everything.

　I will destroy everything.

　You failed once in the demon world, so now I'm more circumspect.

"Hmm ...... and the man?

　The old man, Laird Raylor, who had heard what had happened from me, asks me that question.

You might be alive if you're lucky.

　I'm sure they'll be in their bellies as bait since I threw them into the demon's nest with their arms and legs chopped off.

I don't want to ask ...... too much. --I don't want to ask too much about .......

　Saying that, the old man of the lord has a grim expression on his face.

"Huh?　Why?

"Argos certainly has a reputation as a man of black rumors and a master of intrigue, but ...... he is a middle-class nobleman. He doesn't have the kind of power that would allow a handful of people to hide in an organization as solid as the Church.

...... You mean there are more senior nobles behind this?

　The old man nodded at my words.

"There's a good chance. We'll do some digging when we arrive at the capital. If such a person is at work, the information must be there somewhere. As soon as we learn anything, I'll make sure you get the word out, so you don't have to worry about that.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Thank you, please.

"The crisis of the hero is also a crisis for us. You are working to prevent it, so it's only natural that we should cooperate with you. It is only natural that you would cooperate with the people who are working to prevent it. ...... I just want to ask you one thing: What are you going to do when you get to King's Landing?

　When you get to King's Landing.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few days.

　...... No, it's okay to talk to them and expose the "enemy" at the same time.

　If you're not sure what to do with it, you might want to consider taking it on the road.

　If you work with Nell in King's Landing, the enemy will reveal itself.
　If you kill them all, you'll eventually get to the mastermind.

I will do what I want to do. I'll just do what I want to do." "When you're at the mercy of ......, you have to make them pay for it.

"...... would you stay out of the public's way if you could.

I know. And it would put Nell in a worse position to do unnecessary damage.

　Cowering his shoulders, he replied, and let out a relieved breath of understandable relief.

　...... I wonder if he thought I was such a slaughterhouse man. That's very disappointing.

It would be a relief to me if you did. It's a relief to hear that. Because we know what you are capable of, we also know that if you take it seriously, there is nothing we can do to stop you.

"I'm overcompensating. I have a lot of enemies too.

　There are many times when a demon attacks and decides it's impossible to get away, and sometimes the opponent you think you can win the battle gets hit by a counterattack and escapes.

　However, with the increase in the number of useful tools and the ability to use the dungeon return device to escape from a dungeon, I'm able to fight with Ril and the others against higher-ranked demons more often.

　I'm still practicing my sword, but I'm more likely to use traps and tools in a more arming way.
　Tools are DP-made, but traps are not dungeon-generated traps, but traps generated by primordial magic.
　Stone sword mounts, poison swamps, magic bombs, magic mines, and iron maidens, to name a few.

　I'm still inexperienced, so its power is still lower than what you can create in a dungeon, but if you continue to use it like a water dragon, you'll be able to place high-powered traps at your opponent's feet with breathtaking ease.

　Well, even so, there are many opponents who can't win, that forest I live in is an unexplored area!

No, I think that's just because there's something wrong with the area where you live: ......

It's a big world, and there's still a lot of people who are stronger than me. --What are we going to do now?　You can't get out today, right?

Hmm, if we prepare and leave later, we will probably leave in the afternoon, and then we won't arrive at the capital until late at night. The departure has been changed to early tomorrow morning. So you should rest and have a good night's rest, even though the sun is already up. You must be tired indeed.



All right, let's keep it that way. --What about Nell?　Are you going back to your room first?

　Then I glance around.

　You're going to be able to find a lot of people in the lobby of the hotel where we're staying.

　There are a few soldiers who are under the old man's command, but there is no sign of Nell.

No, she's not here. She was helping to clean up the demon's corpse, but after some progress, the work was interrupted and then the soldiers took her to the tavern. I think she was hesitant to say that she was the only one while you were still working, but well, she couldn't say no.

"Yeah, ...... he's a pushover.

　You are eagerly requested by the soldiers to be taken away, and although you look a little troubled, you can't refuse.

　You can find a lot more than just a few of them in the marketplace.

It's a good idea to have a few of them with you.

Haha, no, we don't need you to be so careful. He's not a sensible kid. All right, I'll take Nell and then I'll rest.

"Right. Then she's in the tavern near the outer wall. They've been having a riot outside the store, so perhaps you'll recognize it when you get there. It's been a while, so the noise may have died down, but there are probably countless drunken people lying around.

　I fluttered my hand to the lord and walked out of the hotel lobby.
