Radie says here, having arranged the appearance of the meeting.

My wish is the same as I said to the Demon King just now. No matter what cruel truths are hidden in the world, I will always do what I do. With the mission of a brave man, I will advance to the Demon King and defeat him...!

　That's it,
　He says with determined eyes.

'But that brave man's mission was just a travesty created by that gentleman. It's not unusual to send the strongest warrior to kill you.

　After all, the Demon King that the brave man is trying to defeat is exactly the same being as the fighting god who ordered him to 'defeat the Demon King'.

　He was ordered by the Absolute to go and defeat the Absolute.
　Is there any other deed that is so ridiculous and pathetic?

　What's so pathetic is that even if the brave man had defied all odds and arrived at this point, he would never be able to defeat the king.

　I'm sure that even the king knows that for sure.
　It's absolutely impossible for flesh and blood to defeat the Demon King.

Even Inferno, who was transformed into a monster and became the Lord of Hell, threw away his humanity in the name of "defeating the Demon King," couldn't fulfill the Demon King's desire to defeat him.

　There is no way to accomplish such a difficult task with the hands of the present person yet.

''Taking on a battle that you know you're going to lose is not an act of courage, okay?　Why don't you stop and think about it a little more?

　To that person, the battle between the heroes and the Four Heavenly Kings that was being fought in this world could only mean, at best, the selection of souls to be brought up to Valhalla.

　The hope of being called up to Valhalla and whether or not a gem of a person capable of defeating the Demon King will be produced by being called up to Valhalla and further trained up will become a full-fledged hope.

''I am........''

　Yet another voice rose.

　''It's the Four Heavenly Kings Droyer.

''I'm rather confused at all. What should I do? The barbaric human race who murdered the Demon King for their own sake. Wasn't it the duty of the Four Heavenly Kings to frustrate the brave spearhead of the race and show the strength of the demon race and the pride of the demon race?''

　Droyer's shoulders trembled.
　It was hidden by the table, but her hand underneath it must have been squeezed tightly and rigidly.

''That's why I didn't realize that the battle between the heroes and the Four Heavenly Kings itself was nothing more than an amusement by the Demon Lord....

　No, Ida-san has proven that even on the Four Heavenly Kings side, if you work hard, you will be recognized and called by Valhalla........
　........that's not comforting at all.

''The current Four Heavenly Kings, Droyer, your lament is well founded.

　Yes, it was Granbaza-sama who even spoke in a comforting manner.

　This person might have already resigned from the Four Heavenly Kings and not directly receive the shock of the facts that turned out.......
　.........is that not the case?
　It might be like overturning his Four Heavenly Kings life, which was spent several times more than Droyer's, for nothing in one fell swoop.

　However, Master Granbaza is still in peace as he shows his mettle as a heavyweight.

If you feel that the Four Heavenly Kings' mission is empty, you may ask for their resignation. Perhaps the Demon King will allow you to do so.
...........?
That's all he's got left. I'm sure that even if you leave, a talented wizard will be chosen to take over the role of the Four Heavenly Kings. That's how the battle will be repeated again and again.

　As it has been for hundreds or thousands of years.

''Don't get too defensive. Even if you are the Four Heavenly Kings and a brave man, it's not such a special job. It's to follow orders. You have to obey orders and contribute to the world. As long as you have those, every job is noble.
Yes....!

　Having been given a word by a stalwart, Droyer seems to have calmed down a bit.

　Her seriousness made her tend to be rigid in her thinking.
　When she acquired a more flexible mind, she would grow not only as a fighter, but also as one who unites people.

''I am........!

　'Radey,' he says again, emphatically.

'I cannot compromise. I want to reach the Demon King at all costs and defeat him. Even if it costs me my life.''
''Why are you so vindictive........?

　Radey's obsession is so much more than I thought it would be, I pull back.

I also became a brave man at first with only a pure sense of duty. ''The Demon King is evil,'' ''He must be defeated for the sake of the world. I tried to satisfy my own righteousness by taking advantage of the simple preconceived notion of the Demon King that all of the human race thinks of him.
It's...!

　Serious Droyer was about to say something, but I held up my hand to control him.
　There's more to the story.

'That changed when I met Dariel-san. He asked me to my face, 'Why do you want to defeat the Demon King?' I was asked why, and I knew that I had no answers. Without an answer, I met Zevi-chan and knew the thoughts of those who came before me, and I knew one thing. .... that I should not fight for vague reasons.

　Radey has been involved in quite a lot of battles, too.

　She must have seen a lot of things in those battles, which crossed the boundaries of the demon race and the human race.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.

I've come to the conclusion that I want to know the truth. Why is this world divided into the demon race and the human race and why are they fighting each other? I thought I could find out the answer if I could get to the Demon King.

　That's what it meant to be a brave fighter in her mind.

But the answer to that question has already been unraveled.

　Unexpectedly, it came from the answer.

　Even though there was a bizarre accident called inferno, the Demon King who came from the other side did a great job of answering the question and solving the riddle.

　There's nothing more to solve.

''No, we don't have the answer yet.
What?
'The answer has to be me. I have to know the hidden mechanisms of this world. Is it right or wrong? If it is not, then what form of the world is really right? I'll give you my own answer.

　The answers are not given by others, but by you.

　Knowing the end of the world, which is yet to be viewed, Radey seeks to know what kind of answers he will give.

''I think that's the job of a brave man. I want to challenge the Demon King to give me my own answers. I don't want to stop walking.......!

　Radey's fierce determination left everyone around him speechless.

　Everyone gasped and a painful silence passed.

　It felt like they had been confronted with the painful force of who a brave man was, here and now.

'I feel like I've been confronted with who a brave man is,'

　The one who said that was Arantzill-san, the previous hero.

　Did you have the exact same impression as me...?

Maybe that's what being brave is all about. It's about unlocking the unknown and opening up the way for people to move forward.
'Oh, Arantzill-sama...?
When I was a brave man, I never had an ounce of that kind of thinking in my head. I had only anger and hatred. Normally a brave man shouldn't fight for such reasons...

　Arantzill-san's expression as he said it as if he was reflecting on himself, but on the other hand, there was a radiant look on his face that was not trapped by anything.

　Definitely after the battle with Inferno-Drismegian, this person had risen a notch in rank.
　This person who is called a great brave man, now it feels like he's more than that.

''Hey Dariel?　Wouldn't it be better to say that Radey is the true brave man, rather than me or you?
'Huh?　Yes, that's exactly what I think.

　I'm not trying to be a Texan.
　I, too, would think that this attitude of Radey's is what a brave man should be like.

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

　Who is it that you are to argue further?

Then I, too, will support your ambitions, Radie.
You're not supposed to root for them.

　It was Zebiantes.

　You are the Four Heavenly Kings.
　You may be the one to block the hero's progress, but don't cheer for him. Keep to your assigned roles!

The setting is ruined as soon as it's spoiled. I can't even bring myself to fight with my friend, Lady Radix, and if that's the case, the Demon King will be more than happy to work with you to confront you as a formidable threat. You want a strong enemy, don't you?
''Ugh........?''

　Zebiantes is an idiot, but he sees right through the main points.

No, Zebiantes. You don't disrespect the duties of the Four Heavenly Kings...?
You just have to be flexible. That's what Droyer is all about, he's got a good head on his shoulders.
....

　Droyer's rebuttal did not continue, as he was still unable to get out of his own hesitation.
　He sat back in his chair with no effort.

''.........''

　All right.
　In that case, in order for Radie to get her own answers, we'll back her to reach the Demon King's Castle?

''Then the question is...''
