The story I heard from Manuel, aka Flamboyant Armor, was quite meaningful.

　You'll be able to find out the best way to make your life easier and more fun.

　The middle class are counted and the lower class are below.

　This is not flashy armor, but what I heard later from the king, that the two middle class nobles you mentioned and the bastard noble who tried to set up Nell in the relay city were often seen talking at social gatherings.

　So that's the connection.

　The king said he would investigate the friendships of these guys and try to find out who is believed to be behind this.

　I secretly thought it would be interesting to find out one person from their friends and acquaintances, like a detective drama, but I was in the middle of a serious conversation, so I kept my mouth shut.

　And this is the main topic - soon there will be a big social party at the castle, and most of the nobles will be there, and no doubt their a**h*les will be there too.

　This is where the action is.

　The king already told me there was going to be a ballroom party, and Nell was originally going to be there to let people know the brave man was alive and well, but of course I'm going to be there with the king's help.

　I'm going to extract as much information as I can from the scene, obtain enough to denounce the anti-Neru faction head-on, and either throw them in jail for treason or I'll kill them.

　Even if it doesn't work out that well, I'm sure that Nell and I will attract attention, so we'll see what the other side does and keep them in check there.

　Anyway, there will be some progress, that's for sure.
　We'll be working on that ballroom for a while.

　The reason why I'm doing this in such a roundabout way is because this time it's Nell who's involved.

　I'm a hero's follower, so my actions are all linked to the Lord's reputation, and if I act without regard for human society, the reputation of Nell will suffer accordingly.

　If I became so annoyed that I tortured the shitty aristocrat named Argos Radrio to expose the information and then killed him, the moment it was discovered, the accusations would roar out, and if a man who was anti-Nell suddenly disappeared without being discovered, it is easy to think that all eyes would turn to Nell.

　That's not good.

　It's true that I want to live at home with Nell, but I don't want to do a psychopathic thing like destroying her place in our human society for that purpose.

　You're going to be able to get the most out of this case by restoring Nell's prestige as a brave man in the way of human society, and then after the situation has settled down, we'll kill the bastards who did this for us.

　I'll ask the king to handle it at ....... I'm sure he'll take care of it.

　...... The king and his old man have been very good to us, so we should think of something to repay them.

...... Hmmm, that's about it. Okay, Manuel.

"What, what?

　The attitude has changed drastically from the past, and you open your mouth while glancing at Nell.

　You were saying that women should not be brave, but now, perhaps because of Nell's angelic smile, this is what happened.

　It's easy to understand, or is it stupid?

You'll never be an enemy of Nell, will you?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to expect when you're in the marketplace. It's a good idea to be able to have the same kind of gentleness and compassion as the Virgin, which is also an important quality for a brave man. I'm sure it's only because I've been careless.　Hmm, there's nothing I can say about that!

　What the hell is this guy talking about?

　You're going to be able to find out what's going on in the world.

...... That's fine. And you still want to be the next hero?

"Of course!　I promised Nell that we would work together to protect this country!

"Oh, um, yeah ......, let's go for it.

　Nell .

　Hey, don't bother my wife. I'll blow you away.

...... well, then you can have this.

　Saying that, I took it out of the item box and tossed it to the next brave person.

It's heavy!　What is this?　A wooden sword for training?

　He looks at you with a dubious expression on his face and sees the wooden sword I gave him.

It's a wooden sword, but it's not just any wooden sword. It's harder and stronger than iron, and because it has magic inside it, it can also be used as a staff. At least the quality is considerably better than those famous swords. It's not a sword but a curved sword, but it's quite heavy and hard, so use it more as a blunt instrument.


　Demon King's Wooden Sword: A wooden sword created by demon king Yuki. It is made of hardwood, and is stronger than steel because demon king Yuki poured a lot of magic power into it. Its high efficiency in magic conduction allows it to be used as a staff. Quality: B+.


　This is a wooden sword made from a tree that grows in the forest of the magical world known as the Demon Tree.

　Even though it's a wooden sword, it's stronger than an iron sword, and can break the iron sword when you hit it.

　It can be used as a wand that I never use, which makes it easier to activate magic.

　The reason for this is because I tried using it as a wand, but I couldn't understand it and couldn't figure out if it made magic easier to activate or not.

　It's not that I don't like it, but it's just that it's easier for me to channel my magic, and it works well.
　And En, it's super easy for you to judge and release magic on your own.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that this is one of the best weapons I've ever made, so it stands to reason that I can't lose to a wooden sword like this one, even if it's one of my own creations!

　Also, it doesn't really matter, but I was debating whether or not to engrave "Cave Cave Lake" on it, but then I remembered that I don't have the skills to do so and gave up.

...... This wooden sword sure does have a lot of power!　But is it okay to get this stuff?　Expensive item, right?

You taught me a lot, and I thank you. Besides, you're going to be the next hero.　So, well, good luck with that one.

　I made it for fun, but it was so well made that I didn't want to keep it in my item box for safekeeping.

　I hope you'll use this weapon to improve your skills and do your best to make Nell live in your home.

The Mask: ...... might be one of my companions after all...

You can't be!


　　　* * *


Ha, totally. I'm tired of dealing with idiots. ...... I wonder why I've been dealing with that guy all morning, I'm ......



　As I left the training ground after parting from the flamboyant armor, I stretched out and said to myself, "Well, but you gave him your work, and I thought you liked him.

But you gave him some of your work, maybe you liked him?　And he wasn't such a bad guy.

No, not at all. I liked that sword so much that I didn't want to keep it for myself. I also need him to work hard to make this country more stable and make it easier for Nell to come to our home.

What, you were already thinking about that?

I'm sure. I agreed that you're going to be a hero here, but of course I'd like to live with you if I could. I've got to do what I can for that.

　Seeing me grinning and cowering my shoulders, Nell looks a little bit happy to see me.

'Well, I understand Nell, but what's going on with Lonia and Ilir?　Were you brought to Nell?

"I went to visit Nell-sama, and when I heard that Maou-sama was in the training grounds, I asked her to bring me here!　Master Ronia is with you!

Yeah, I heard that Lonia had some time on her hands, so come to me and I'll get you two together.

　Oh, so that's how the three of us got together.

　And Lonia, who was walking next to Nell, suddenly turned to me and said, "You weren't wearing your armor when we met in the demon world, and you're not wearing it now.

You know, you didn't wear it when we met in the demon world, and you don't wear it now, but do you use your armor?

"Huh?　Yeah, well. I don't wear protective gear for a variety of reasons.

It's true, I've never seen you with a suit of armor on.

　I don't wear protective gear. It's always in the guise of everyday wear.

　This is because there is no advantage to wearing protective gear in the forest of the magical world.

　The half-hearted armor that I paid DP for can't even prevent the southern area monsters from attacking the weakest area in the magical forest, and even the armor I paid a heck of a lot of DP for was destroyed by a single blow when I went into the western area where the monsters are strongest. I've seen it first hand.

　Besides, I don't need armor that is too hard to move around in the way when I realize that I can't win.

　I even withstood the attacks of the dragon race, the strongest race in the world.
　I can now defend the midline, which is full of vital points of the human body, against attacks from opponents who are much stronger than me at a moment's notice.
　Lil will protect you while you drink the potion.

　In actual combat, I wondered how soldiers could move around in such heavy shitty armor, wearing a helmet that blocks your vision.

　Even in a battle between human species, the human species in this world are overwhelmingly stronger than the humans of the previous world, and I wonder if such iron-grade armor is able to defend against attacks.

　You will be able to find a lot more information about the company and its products.

You have a good reason. I thought it was just a hobby of the older man's. Dressed in your work clothes.

"Don't say work clothes.

　Sure, it's basically a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, but .
　It's just so much easier.

　There's no reason to get dressed up when you're basically always holed up in a dungeon: .......

So. By the way, are you a demon king?

"Oh--whoa!　No, no, that ...... uh ...... could not be fooled, could it?

　I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do, but I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do.

　You will be able to find out what the princess called me, and I'm sure she was curious.

"Nell can't tell a lie. I'll know. --So you're the witch king of the forest?　He is the only demon king he has ever gone to defeat. Yes, that's how we met.

　It's completely obvious.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. There is a reason for this: ......

No, so it doesn't matter. Whoever this guy is, he saved Nell's life.

...... yeah. Thanks, Ronia.

"Ronia-sama, Maosama is a yucka-sama Maosama!　And I have very cool wings!

　The princess who was with us said this with a smile.

Sure, I've seen them once, but those wings were so cool. I'd like to study them.

"Oh, hey, hi?

　Is it really a compliment to say that I would like to study it?

"Maosama!　I want to see those cool wings again!　Also, I would like to visit the place where you live, Ilir, where you say Maosama lives!

It's a bit public here, so we'll talk later. Also, we're a little far from home and it's dangerous, so I can't do that. I'm sorry.

"Eh!　Because you live in a big, cool castle, right?　I would love to see it. Ilir, I've never been out of here, not much: ......

　So, muttering with a forlorn look on your face, princess.

　.............



...... Okay, well, you can come with me when you leave. I'll talk to your dad later.

"!　Really?

Yeah. But if your dad says you can't do it, you can't do it, right?

"Yes, sir!　Thank you, Maosama!

　The instant I saw him smiling and smiling happily, I brushed his head.

...... Is he a special proclivity for little kids?

Hmmm, I guess so. It's a little sweet for the little ones.

"I don't know how many times I've told you, but it's not true. And don't you nod your head, Nell.

　It's been a long time since I've been called this.

　For some reason, it's become a well-known fact that I'm a pedophile in my family, and that's why it's so annoying that no one says anything when I'm playing with Iruna and her friends: .......
