Thus, the mock battle of Gacita vs. the three returning siblings ended with an overwhelming victory for Gacita.

''........Hey Dariel?''

　Master Granberza, who was watching the game with me, said.

'Is he too strong?'
Is that right?

　As someone who has taught him, I think he still has a lot to learn.

''No, there weren't many party members that Aranzir brought in during my active duty period that were this good at using it!　What's that?　Gifted?　Blessed with a natural talent?

　GranBaza-sama is exaggerating again.

I'm not that high up. I'm just a timid, feeble-minded villager.
''Those who say such things are the most dangerous...!''

　Granberza-sama's sense of caution was great.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one.　I had no body, but my confidence was so high. Even now, I'm embarrassed to remember.
How did this happen...?

　Gacita is being called this.

It's all because of Dariel's brother.　Thanks to you, big brother, for knocking my crap out of me and guiding me right!　My brother is my benefactor!
No, not really.

　It's only Gacita's own achievement that she has trained herself.

　However, Granbaza-sama's expression twisted into a crumpled expression when he heard that.......

The only thing you need to know is that Dariel has an uncanny talent for nurturing people........　To raise a hero to this level, your general equipment is extraordinary.......!
No, no!

　Perhaps because of her age, Lady Granberza is a bit of a wimp whenever something happens.

　In the past, when you were active, if I did something that was a little too good for you, you would say, 'Don't be arrogant. I was scolded away.

Then there was nothing anyone else could have done to guide him........

　It's not just because of old age that Lady Granbaza is weak.
　The matter of his son Bashbarza's son Bashbarza is probably still tailing in that man's mind.

　Even though he was one of the greatest heroes of all time, the inexplicable scandal of his blood-brother son was a painful blow to his heart.

''It's okay!　Cheer up!

　Why would Gacita go there to cheer him up?

You're me!　I may not be the best person to ever live up to my name, but thanks to Dariel's brother-in-law, I'm finally on my own!　You're the one who raised the blue aniki, so the credit goes to you!　I hope you can be proud of the work of this gacita as an achievement of yours!

　What the hell is this guy?
　How can you be so witty and handsome?

　It was a difficult thing for my family to do, but he did a good job of following up on my behalf.

I'm sorry for your concern.... Dariel, you've turned out some really good people.
I'm sorry, sir...?

　I can't hide my bewilderment at how idealistic the Gacita is.

That Gacita...?
His older brother Gasita, who was just a little shit when he was a kid, is...?
He was the dreamboat of my dreams.

　And once the gazes of the losing trio were focused on Gacita, they shifted to me.
　Their gazes were filled with feelings of envy and anticipation.

''Does this mean that if you receive guidance from Dariel-sama, you'll be a top-notch player like Gacita?
''Even Brother Gacita finished this well!　Then we can!
Please, brother-in-law!　Train us to be A-class adventurers, ehhh!

　I can't stand it.

I'm busy with the village chief's work. I'm busy with the village chief's business.

　I don't have to bother with your teaching. If you want to be strong, go ahead and be strong.

"Quiet, you little bastards!

　Whoa!

　And then the dreaded blackmail.
　I'm so scared that my balls are shrinking.

　I'm pretty sure that was Grandfather.

"I said I'd be here to take care of you!　Do you doubt my ability to raise Dariel?
No, I don't! Nice to meet you!

　The three siblings were also instantly surrendered and obeyed as they were told.

　This is the spirit of Master Granbaza's working days.
　Did the three siblings' no-good attitude revive this gentleman's Yingmai?

''Just as I promised earlier, I'll make sure these guys are ready to be used properly. You can rest assured.
Hi....

　I don't really need them to be tailored.
　But if training the poorly made guys will bring back some energy to Granbaza-sama, that's fine.
　I want this person to stay healthy forever.

''I understand. Then train these guys until they die.''
Don't you have to die?

　Stanville won't entertain any protests.

◆

　Well.
　Leave the three brothers and sisters to Granberza-sama to barge in and out like that........

　That's not the end of the story.

　As a matter of fact, we have another extremely troublesome guest in Lax village right now.

　That guest is being treated by Marika at the village chief's house.
　After taking care of the matter of the three siblings, I returned to the house.

I'm back...?

　The room was filled with an indescribable sense of tension.

　Even Gran-kun, who is being held by Maleeka, is overwhelmed by the atmosphere and remains silent.
　There were two others sitting in this reception living room.

　One of them is the Four Heavenly Kings 'Huafu' Zebiantes.

　I'm already familiar with this guy's presence here. Reluctantly.

　The problem is the other one.

　The other one is Droyer, also from the Four Heavenly Kings, "The Fertile Ground".

　He is the only one who has a decent reputation among the four Heavenly Kings of the day, who are all incompetent.
　Her specialty is "Earth", and the current Four Heavenly Kings were functioning on her own.

　Is this the first time she's visited Lax Village like that?

　What in the world?
　Why is she here?

Hi, guys.

　I dragged Zebiantes to a corner of the room.
　Why Zeviantes?
　Because this guy is the blackest of them all.

Can I ask you a question?　What have you done?
Don't take it as a sign that I've done this in the first place!　For once, it's not my fault!

　The way you say that, you are aware that you are at fault on the other matters, aren't you?
　That's a good trend.

"That doesn't prove you're not responsible for this, either. Tell me. How did that happen?
So it's a compelling situation!　That guy in Droyer has been looking for you for a long time!

　Huh?　Me?
　How is this the first time I've heard of such a thing?

"And then the other day, you showed up on her doorstep!　Thanks to that, they've found out where you are!

　Huh?　So it's my fault?
　Come to think of it, I met Droyer again by accident the other day.

　I shouldn't have gone to check on the demon tribe during the Ida commotion in "Heaven and Earth" and encountered the defunct Lasperda Fortress.

　You can't help but want to ask for more details about the situation after seeing something like that.

　You're going to meet up with the escaped demon king's army, and you've been spotted talking to Granberza-sama and Zebiantes in a normal way.
　By Droyer.

''He was thoroughly questioned after that and spoke out!　But it's your fault for causing them to suspect you, and it's decidedly not my fault!

　Okay, okay.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it look like it's my fault this time.

　But in the end, Dreyfus ended up taking advantage of Granberza-sama's peeping at him.

　But why on earth?
　What's going on?

　You said you were looking for me.

Are you done?
Yes?

　Droyer spoke to me.
　What's this aggressiveness?

'Then let's get right to it, but let's get to my business. It's extremely important.

　Yes?
　What is it?

"I hereby order Dariel, the dark soldier. I hereby appoint you the Hand of the Four Heavenly Kings again. Use your superior insights to help the Demon King's army.
