Well, that's me.

　It's been a few days since Ida and her friends left.
　I'm starting to feel restless.

　I was once persuaded to stay in Lax Village, but I wondered, 'Is that really what I wanted? This feeling is growing by the day.

　That doesn't change the fact that my family and my home village of Laxx are the most important thing to me.
　Even if I am left alone, I will protect it.

　But at the same time, should I be left alone with an inferno that will bring harm to the world?　It's also hard to ignore the feeling that
　Even as I do this, I wonder if Inferno is holding someone special in its hands.
　When I thought that, I couldn't ignore the emotions that were bubbling up.

　Did I have such a strong sense of justice?　I was puzzled, but I was still doing my daily work.

　Aranzir-san came to visit me in the village.

◆

Are you sure you want to do this here?
Hmm?　What?

　Aranzir-san came in and held Gran and catcalled her.
　You've adored him a lot in the Center Guild, are you saying he's still not adorable enough?

There is no limit to the amount of time you can spend with your grandchildren. There is no limit to the number of things you can do for your grandchildren, because you have no other thing to do than to love them. In fact, I don't have time to do anything else.

　No, still.
　In this situation of an inferno lurking somewhere in the world, isn't there something that the previous brave Anna should do?

　No?
　You're throwing the whole thing to Radey, the current hero.

　It's only natural since she's retired, but....

I don't know what to say. I'm sure he will grow up to be a strong man. I'm looking forward to it now!
'Hey Alanziel, your time is up. I'll take care of you this time, so give me Gran.
You've been doing a lot of loving by the time I got here, haven't you? To be fair to you, you're not going to give me a slot!
'If you say so, you were disgustingly cute on the home turf of the human race!　Anyway, I'm badly injured, so it's best for me to heal!
Why do you have to be such a pussy to get beaten up by all these other mooks?

　Mr. Alanziel and Lady Granbaza are fighting over my son.

　I know that both of them are grandfathers who want to be with their grandchildren, but Marika will scold you again if you make too much noise.

　Are people who retire like this just easygoing and left to the active ones?
　I guess that's the right thing to do.

..........

　Well, for now, I thought I'd come up with a topic or something...

　........speaking of which.
　There was one thing that bothered me.

'Alanziel-san.
Hmm?　What is it?
Have you ever heard of Miss Estelica?

　A woman named Estelica came to my house the other day.
　I was told that she had been a brave person in the previous generation. Then I casually asked her if she knew Arantzill-san, the previous brave, as well.
　By the way..........

"...................?

　The response was more than I had imagined.
　Until now, Arantzill-san's expression, who was just a delirious old man, froze, and even the atmosphere of the place changed at once.
　The air was tense and tense, so much so that Gran was scared and started to cry.

''Whaaaaat?　I'm sorry, that was scary!　No, it's not scary, it's not scary at all.

　Arantzill-san hurriedly fanned her grandson, but she still couldn't hide her upset.

''Um, well...?　Dariel?　How do you know her name?　Where the hell did you...?
He came by our house the other day.
''Haha!''

　Again, Arantzill-san is bewildered and Gran-kun starts to cry again.
　I can't help it, so I ask Marika to take care of Gran-kun, and once again face Arantzill-san.

'Dariel, I have no idea what you're talking about. .........You met with Estelica?　　She's been dead for over thirty years!

　I knew it was so.
　Since I came as an apostle of Valhalla, in other words, that's what it means.

　Only the souls of the dead can go to the world of Valhalla, the world prepared by the Demon King, only the souls of the dead can go there.
　Only those who have shown exceptional ability and results in life can go there.

　That's why that Estelica-san is also.....

You saw it too, Arantzill-san, didn't you?　The ida of 'Heaven and Earth' that appeared the other day.
Is that him?　Why is that stuff coming up now?
He's just like him.

　I explained to Mr. Arantzill, including a bite of Valhalla.

'They were sent to capture an inferno that had escaped to this world. They stopped here on the way.
Oh, no, she's not...

　Flattened.
　Mr. Aranzir sits down without effort.

　It's more like the sofa was there at the end of where he fell backwards by accident, otherwise he might have slumped to the floor.

　It's hard to see Arantzill-san getting this upset.
　Even with this, he's also called the strongest hero of all time, and he's someone who went through a thousand shuras.

　I can't believe he's this upset.
　Isn't it since I found out I'm the son of a dead man?

"...she and I have had our share of fights.

　Puzzled, Granberza-sama interrupted.

''It is true that he was strong enough to live up to the name of a brave man, and he is strongly remembered even after just one battle. But I heard that he didn't die because of his battle with me...
What do you mean?

　Mr. Alanziel grabbed Lady Granberza by the collar.

''How dare you be so slippery!　You people!　You demons have her!　You, you, oh, oh!
Mr. Alanziel, please calm down!

　I hurriedly stepped in between.
　I can't believe this person has shown so much agitation towards the demon race.

　Didn't this person's hatred soften a bit when they found out I was alive?
　But it's as if we have regressed to earlier.
　Who is Estelica to influence Mr. Alanziel to this extent...?

　That's when I was about to ask more questions, invited by the question.
　I could feel something strange coming from outside.

◆

''What is this...?''


　It was so noisy outside that we had to interrupt our conversation about Ms. Estelica to go out to check on her.

　Then I was astonished.

　The sun was floating in the sky.
　Another one.

　The sun always rises in the eastern sky and is always on the southern ceiling, and there is another sun rising in the southern sky at the same time.

　It was so close.
　It was as close as if it had fallen from the heavens, and a fireball comparable to the sun was lingering in the sky above Lax Village.

''Goooooooooooooh!　It's so hot!　Isn't it just like the middle of summer!
"Such a huge fireball, who could have created such a magic?　Heat as hot as the sun...?

　You're going to surprise Lord Granberza with fire magic?

　I don't know if this big fireball was created by magic, but if it wasn't for the fire magic used by the demon race, this trick would be impossible.

　Then who did it?

　Suddenly, the large fireball above my head popped and scattered.

''Whoa!?''

　The force of the explosion caused me to shut my eyes and cover my face with my arms.

　Damage to the village from the explosion........fortunately not, but instead the place where the fireball that disappeared was.......

　A floating red cloak.
　The hem of the cloak is fluttering in the wind and flickering like a flame.

''I knew you were........!

　Inferno!

　This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes, and I'm not sure he really wanted to be alive.
　And now he's back in LUX village....
　Estelica's reasoning is spot on.

I'm glad to see you're out at last. We've been waiting for you.

　The one drifting in the air is coming down right in front of me.
　The red cloak is the same, but the tone of voice is noticeably different.

I was looking for two parts. I've just obtained one of those parts. There's only one left.
What the hell are you talking about, all of a sudden?
I'm talking about you, Dariel.

　Really, why all of a sudden?

You're the second piece I need to get. Come with me. Come with me, and you will defeat the Dark Lord.
