How many times have you done this, brother Kai?

I'm sorry. That's why I'm here, you know, with you and your people, all on the house for a drink on my treat.

　When Cain turned around, Leon's subordinates, the members of the kingdom's knight squad, were drinking and making a lot of noise.

　You should refrain from it for a moment - Cain blurted out, muttering.


''Oh, I'm fine about that. They will be happy to drink free booze without doing any work.

So why not?

I'm not saying it's a question of me and my men getting trampled on, but it's our job to get rid of the threat to the country. It's our job to get rid of the threat to the country.

　Halt's brother Leon had become a troop leader of the knights serving the kingdom. He was the youngest troop leader and currently has thirty subordinates.

　Leon and Hurt's older brother Cain can also sense the looming threat to this royal capital with his super-intuitive skills. However, since he is the king's SS chief of this country, he can't leave the royal capital at will.

　Therefore, there had been several times when Cain had asked Leon to remove the looming threat to the royal capital.

　In recent times, Cain has also asked Leon to defeat the demons on several occasions, but...
　

　In all of that, before Leon could sally forth with his men, Cain stopped it.

　Because the target to be defeated was gone.

'I think it's pretty bad that brother Kai's super intuition is so far off.

　Leon was worried about Cain's poor health.

　Many individuals of demons would grow stronger if left unattended. Conversely, by defeating them early, the damage could be limited and the burden on those who would defeat them would be less.

　Cain's super intuition tells him the signs that a strong demon is about to occur. Besides, this country has been saved many times.

　Leon was worried that Cain's super intuition was becoming less and less reliable.


'Actually, it's not that my intuition is off.

What do you mean?

Demons are out there, for sure. But while I'm asking you to take it down, it means someone else is taking it down.

What?　What, because... what kind of monster would want me to take out?　Who in the world can defeat such a monster?

　Leon was strong.

　The most powerful soldier in this country is Cain.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　The third is Leon.

　Cain and the Royal Knight Commander are unable to move freely due to their positions. Even if they knew the appearance of a demon, it's impossible for them themselves to go into battle immediately.

　Therefore, as a soldier who can move freely to some extent, Leon is the strongest in this country.

　Before that Leon could move, someone had removed the threat.

　However, an ungainly force could be a threat in itself.

''Brother Kai...you have an idea, right?

　Leon had somehow noticed that Cain was hiding something.

"....There is. But I can't be sure. My skills are just a gut feeling.

'Alright. Well, the next time Brother Kai feels a strong demon coming out, I'll go there anyway.

You sure you don't want to take some of your guys?

That's true. When I have my men preparing for a mission, I can't help but move slowly. That's why I'm going to do it alone next time. Of course, I won't be unreasonable.

　Cain, who didn't want his brother to do anything dangerous, but was still beginning to lose faith in his skills, decided to accept Leon's suggestion.

'Alright. If it looks like it's going to be a bad idea, then just go and run right away, okay?

'Oh, that's the plan. By the way, according to my brother Kai's super intuition, who's killing those strong demons?

Well, that's because...

　Rarely did Cain's super intuition show him a vision.

　When he sensed that there would be a class A dangerous demon, he had a vision that the demon was an ogre.

　And the person who would cut the ogre into pieces...


　It was someone Cain knew well.

It's Hurt.

What?

That's our brother, Hurt. He's the one who kills the demons.

''You're still a student at the Magical Academy.　As expected, it's impossible to defeat a demon near this royal capital...

Hurt turned fifteen this year.

'Uh-huh. Yeah.

That means I can join the Adventurers' Guild.



''That's right. By the way, according to my super intuition, he's still an E rank adventurer.

''Huh!''

　With only half-hearted information, the doubts inside Leon grew and grew.


The next time I have a hunch that a strong demon will appear, I'll let you know, so go ahead and go. Probably because that's where Hurt is. Then you can ask him a lot of questions.
