There was a problem.

　The Zebianites have taken up residence.

　She wouldn't leave.

Just do it.

　I've already forgotten about my former boss's relationship with him, and I call him out without respect, but he doesn't respond well.

'I hate it. We're here until the full version of Mithril Wings is completed.

　He's eating, sleeping and relaxing at home.
　By the way, he's getting extra money for his stay, so it's hard to convince him from that side.
　The senior demons are really rich, aren't they?

　The other day, I had a duel (?) with the brave Radie. The mithril wing that raged in the first
　However, that was a prototype, not a perfect one, and they are still working to solve the problems brought to light by the trial run to make it more complete.

　It seems that unlike the overnight prototype, this time it will take a reasonable amount of time.

'In the meantime, you're going to stay in the village the whole time...?
No?
Of course not!　What about the job of the Four Heavenly Kings!

　It's time for you to realize that you're in a position of great responsibility, and it's time for you to realize it.

''Huh?　You're the one who doesn't know what's going on. That's why you're going to get fired from your job as an assistant.
Oh?
Are you sure?　What's the most important role of the Four Heavenly Kings?　It's about stopping a brave man from harming the Demon King.
''You're absolutely right, but...?

　It's not half as uncomfortable as it sounds when Zebiantes tells me the right thing to do.

''That brave man is right in front of me!

　Again, it was true.
　The current hero, Radey, was diligently working on the pretense of training right next to us.

''As long as he's here, there will be no invasion of the Demon King's territory, and we can take it easy. Peace is what's best.
..........

　It's so true that it's extremely frustrating to not be able to argue with it.

The fact that Droyer is still on alert for the arrival of a brave man at this very moment is hilariously painful because he is an idiot. Just imagining a serious woman's silliness is enough to make me feel like a zapper.
I'm going to cry.

　The only conscience of the current Four Heavenly Kings is being ridiculed by the unserious representative.

　This current situation is unbearable.
　The only thing that helps is that the people who are working hard in the front line don't know anything about it.

''Speaking of which...''

　

'Hey, Rae,'
What is it, Zevi?

　Don't call each other by nicknames.

'I've had a question for a long time, and this is a good time to ask it.
"?　Go ahead?

　A little hesitation. Opponent, enemy.

"Why would a brave man try to defeat the Demon King?
..........

　......
　.................... What?

Speaking of which!

　The humans and the demons have always fought each other.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

''Why do the humans come here to defeat the Demon King?　They are such a nuisance to us!
Why are you the one trying to protect the Demon King?

　You'll find that it's a very good idea to have a good time.
　It's because they are basically opposing species, so they don't negotiate with each other and don't get any information.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　Basically, the only people fighting between the demon race and the human race are the heroes and the demon king's army.

　The brave men are elite adventurers selected from the adventurers to defeat the demon king, and the demon king's army is an organization created to protect the demon king.

　Other ordinary adventurers on the human side may skirmish with the Demon King's army, but the rest of the ordinary people rarely fight or kill each other.
　They just protect each other's territory and live quietly.

　Other than that, the end of the Adventurer Demon King's Army is responsible for dealing with monsters and criminals respectively....

''Even so, the most troublesome part is dealing with the brave men, right?

　For the Demon King's Army side.

　As expected of me, I'm still not familiar with the customs of the human race....

Why is a brave man trying to defeat the Demon King?
He's trying to do it!

　I decided to ask her frankly too.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　I'm sure he'll answer. It's a good thing that you're a brave man who is after the Demon King.

"The Demon King is an evil being!　We must defeat it to save the world!

　Huh?
　That's it?

'Is there any other reason?　The specific one?

　'You're avenging your parents, or you're going to get a prize.

'No, no...!　All I can say is that the Demon King is evil and must be defeated...!
That's all you have to do?

　Wouldn't that be the villain's motive for destroying them for that simple reason?

'No, wait!　Maybe I just don't know all the details because I'm still the brave new kid on the block.

　No, you should know.
　It doesn't matter if you're a newcomer or a veteran, isn't that the most fundamental part, right there?

''I'm sure that the more accomplished geniuses must know this!　The reason for the abyssal battle!

　Everything about this whole thing stinks, but...!

Who's a proven professional?
'Yes. For example...!

　Radey, a few seconds of contemplation.

'Mr. Arantzill, the brave one before me!

　It's an awesome name.
　I know that person. I mean, I've actually seen him.

　After all, I was the assistant to the Four Heavenly Kings, backing up the previous four Heavenly Kings who were fighting him.

"Are the previous generation of heroes strong?

　The gutless current Four Heavenly Kings say it like a simple question.

''If I tell you that I'm evenly matched with Granbaza-sama and the other previous Four Heavenly Kings, will that convey the greatness?
He's a monster.

　Good.
　As expected, I wondered what I would have done if I hadn't been able to realize the greatness until the legendary existence of my own side.

''But we can't just invite the previous generation of heroes to come here and give a lecture, can we? Or should we go listen to it from here?

　Why does a brave man want to kill the Demon King?　I said.

I wouldn't do something so desperate.

　I know, right?

　In the end, time passed without this question being resolved.

　As for me, I threw myself into the work of the village, because making today's Lax Village thrive was more important than the questions that lie in the depths of the world.

　Then a couple of days passed....

◆

I'm home.
Yeah, welcome back.

　Sesha-san of the brave party has returned from her quest.

''Um, isn't the woman lounging over there the Demon King's Four Heavenly Kings, Zebiantes...?
''Think of her as just a harmless little animal. But more importantly, did you find anything unusual in your quest?

　As the village chief, I'm the one who has to take care of the adventurers in the village to make sure there's nothing wrong with them.

There was no problem with the quest itself, no problem at all. However, something terrible happened after the quest ended.
After?

　Is that a terrible idea?

I have met a terrific person, that I have. He said he had business with us and I thought it would be a good idea to bring him with us.
'What?　Who?
The late Mr. Arantzill, the late Mr. Brave, that he was.

　Huh?
