130-129 Dariel can show his ability



 Center Guild Director Roselwy knew about me.
 He knew of my relationship with Alanziel-san.

 Apparently, he heard about it from that Zester fellow.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it," he said, returning to the center guild, "but I didn't expect him to divulge the secret so quickly.
 I've never said 'keep it a secret'.

 I was so enchanted by Zester's masculinity that I told him the truth about myself prematurely.

'It's a pleasure to meet you!

 Mr. Roselwy and the other guy started grabbing my hands and buzzing them up and down.

'I was skeptical when I heard about you and came here, but it was worth the long trip! Aranzir-sama's original profound knowledge, "The Splitting Skies of the Supreme Being". Being able to use it at will is the proof that you are a father and son! That's the truth!
You don't think that's all you wanted to find out?

 You did?

'Of course! If there's a great man who has inherited Master Aranziel's strength, it's only natural for the Center Guild Director to see it with his own eyes! No, that's a relief! I didn't expect to see such a strong new candidate for bravery!
''What?!''

 Those words startled me.
 Don't tell me this guy........?

"You're still looking for new heroes?

 Originally, there was only one hero in a generation.
 The attempt to prepare multiple heroes at the same time was only recently implemented.

 But that attempt ended up being confusing and disappointing.
 The village of Lax, where I live, was suitably inconvenienced.

 That's why I thought it was the end of the project, but...?

"You haven't given up yet?

 Come to think of it, this board member.
 I'm not a fan.

 I'm sure the same director who led the process of retaining the multiple heroes has the same name.
 I think I heard it from someone. Was it from Mr. Best Fred, or was it from the three heroes themselves...?

 Does it matter?

'I've heard that Aranzir-sama has a son who has parted ways with his life, but I'm thrilled that his person is willing to fight on the side of the guild! This is the demon king's fate!
No, no, no...?

 Are you trying to carry on with this conversation?

"Director Roselwy, you don't mean to........?

 I was baffled, but Radie snapped at me.

You're going to make Dariel-san a hero? We're going to have another new hero!
''This is what we need to do.

 A board member who is not the least bit intimidated by being pressed by Radey, who is a brave man by nature.
 That is the kind of troublesome part that was the gall of the executive.

I'm sure you understand that the purpose of a brave man is to defeat the demon king. No, because you were actually chosen to be a brave person!
''That's........well........?''

 As expected of a brave man, you can't even say 'no' from his mouth.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't get your hands on any of them. Do you think that's enough for you? Do you endorse the status quo?
'Of course that would be a bad idea...?

 That's what you're going to say.

That's why we have to change the status quo. We've failed in the past, so there's no way we can continue in the same way and win success! So I say let's explore new avenues! ........and finally.......!

 His eyes turn towards me.
 His eyes were sparkling with anticipation, so much so that I was surprised to see him.

''I have found the most certain hope...! All thanks to the information provided by Lord Zester...!

 I knew it was him.

But we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Hastiness is a clue to screw up. I must weave a plan that will not fray in any direction to achieve the long cherished ambitions of the human race.

 Roselwy, he raised his hand.
 What was the signal? People came up from a distance in response.

 Three in all.

 All of them had strong bodies and it was easy to tell that they were not Katagi.

''Adventurer........''

 And the signs indicated that he was a handful.

'My names are Aron, Busta and Leelina. These are the adventurers I am familiar with.

 Roselwy says proudly.

''All of them are B-class adventurers, and among them, Leelina is the one who is said to be a sure-fire candidate to pass the upcoming A-class promotion exam. It's the perfect match for you to measure your abilities.
"You don't think...?

 Radie stormed in my place.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to make your life easier. You can't be sure of that with just a single strike from the 'Great Emperor's Splitting Sky'. I'd like to see a more detailed demonstration of your power.
You are too rude!

 Radey finally became furious.

''You're the one who barged in here and told me to do what I wanted, so why don't you consider Dariel's situation? Who the hell do you think you are, letting me even try it?
"I beg you to refrain from doing so, my dearest hero.

 It was the adventurers who had just been introduced who took the brave man's fury and yet still called him out.
 I think her name was Leelina or something like that.

''It is also what we asked Master Lorselwy to do. The man who claimed to be of Lord Aranziel's bloodline, if that is true.
"Bullshit! How dare you deceive Master Alanziel's son!

 One of the adventurers perked up.

"You have no idea what Lady Arantzill is, do you? To us adventurers!
Arantzill is the fiercest and most fearless man in history. Its existence is already a legend! We can't thank you enough for living in the same era as that great hero!
You! He doesn't hesitate to call himself his son! I'm not going to let you get away with this!
'The misfortune that happened to that man was known to some of the adventurers! Her trueborn son, the only man in the world, was kidnapped by demons and taken away.
He shouldn't belong to this world anymore...!

 The strong adventurers shouted in anger at each other.
 In the middle of the process, their voices somehow began to moisten.

''Indeed! The lady's heart is gouged out of her soul by her lies! We can't allow that to happen!
'He was probably using the stories he heard to foil himself anyway! But it was shallow! We who respect Aranzir-sama will not allow you to say or do anything that belittles Aranzir-sama!

 The adventurers stared at me with full killing intent.

 In other words, an ardent Arantzill-san fan.
 Wasn't Zester the only one with a hand like this...?

''That's how great a brave man Aranzir-sama was.... They seem to have gone a bit too far, though.

 Even Radey looks on in dismay.
 However, the other party's heat up has not subsided, and first two of the three say to the remaining one.

''Sister! Why don't you just let us handle this one?
I don't want any of your pussies around when you have a promotion exam coming up! We can't afford to be stingy with them!

 With that said, each of them put their weapons on.
I'm sure it's a continuation of the "test of strength".

I'm going to beat the shit out of you! If you're going to inherit Master Alanziel's talent, you should be able to handle it easily.
'If you say it's different, then you'll take the scourge of bones being crushed and limbs being cut off as punishment! Of the impertinence of trying to lightly use the English name of Lady Arantzill!
"Die!
"DIE!

 They were going to kill him for crying out loud.

 I'm not going to wait for a response from you to come at me, one of them is raising a hammer and the other is using a sword.
 I'm sure that if I didn't do anything about it, my body would certainly be shattered and cut in half.

 Of course, this is not desirable.
 I'm not going to be able to get rid of them, because I need my body to continue to provide for Marika and Gran.
 I can't let these people damage one finger.

 So I prevented them from doing so.

''?''

 Hammer in my right hand, sword in my left.
 I blocked it with my bare hands.

"How dare you...? We did our best to block...?
Not only did you block it, you blocked it with your bare hands without a shield...? How did you do that?

 I put more force into my hand as I aimed at the weapon and blocked it.
 With that alone, the weapon shattered into fragments and its owner, the adventurers, were blown away with their bodies.

''Ughyaaaahhhh~?''

 Hmm, it's still much weaker than Zester and Altamir.
