No, my boy is strong.
　He was stronger than I, his father, had imagined.

　I thought he was a mischievous boy who ran around the fields and mountains day and night, calling it fun.
　But I never thought he'd be able to defeat more than one active adventurer at once.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!　Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

　The annoying guy next to me is annoying.

You're making me nervous!　It's a crushing victory when it's all said and done!　That's the grandson of a great brave man!

　The guy from Gandomirahu is pleased with the result.
　He'll be happy if his own recommendation, Gran, annihilates his rivals in a near-perfect manner.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea. I'm sure you're not the only one. Compared to that brat, the other adventurers who took part in the tournament are nothing more than trash!　It's painful to think that some of those brave candidates nominated by the current board of directors are growing out of control!
"How to say it,
"Find the kid!　I recommended this Gandomirahu to the brave men!　I'm not crazy about my eyes!　Praise be to my credit!

　Gandomirahu is good at it, but it's depressing, so let's just let it go.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the world, but it's not worth it because all of the contestants except Gran have retired.

　There was only Gran left in the hall anymore.

''This........what's going on...?
What's the point of continuing the judging in this situation...?

　The Center Guild Board of Directors, watching from the bleachers, seemed confused by the unexpected development.
　The board of directors also serves as judges for the selection of the brave, and only the chairman of the board is absent due to his health condition from time to time.

　It's probably unexpected that they all disappear in the first round of screening.
　Gran-san wiped them out without even having time to stop to see how many people were eligible.

''Stupid Center Guild board members!　Why bother!

　Gandomirav says enthusiastically.
　That's a very provocative way of putting it.

"We don't need any more tests at this point!　The last one left to be chosen for bravery!　I'm pretty sure it's this grand boy!　What else is there?
'Mmmm~?!'

　The board of directors groaned, but there were no other acceptable facts.

It can't be helped. It's a bit stupid, but we'll have to see about that.
'Our Center Guild Board of Directors recognizes Gran of Lax Village as the new hero!

　My boy has really become a brave man.
　Maybe it's not the youngest record?
　Grandpa Arantzill was the first person to become a hero after not being registered in the Adventurer's Guild, but he was definitely the second person in history to become a hero.

　He has accomplished an extraordinary feat.
　At the age of six.

''Fuhahahahahaha!　It was this Gandomilaf who recommended Gran as a brave man!　Dear mediocre Center Guild Board of Directors, let's remember that!　The kid has my back!　When I become the guild director, I'll be in charge of all of the heroic Gran's demon king defeating missions!

　Gandomirahu already felt like he was in the heavens.

''Finally!　My time has come at last!　Hey, Dariel!　You should be more than happy that your son is now a hero!　We're going to need a lot more money for your son.　I'll manage it properly and you can give me all the money you have!

　You seem to think that everything follows you, but I wanted to make sure that I had something to go on before I did.

"Gran, come here!
T-Chan!　Toh-chan!

　My breath Gran, my breath, runs up to me with a happy patter.

'Dad, I could be a brave man!　It's a winner!
'Congratulations, you've done well. But is Gran really going to be a brave man?
Heh?

　Some of them would sidestep those words.

'What are you talking about?　That kid is bound to be a brave man, of course!　You won the selection committee!　Who else is going to be the brave one!

　Shut up. Shut up, outsiders.

"Listen, Gran. "You won't be able to stay in the village of Lux if you're brave enough to do it.
'What?!'

　A look of utter astonishment.
　I guess you didn't understand after all.

You can't go on a journey to defeat the Demon King, you know. We have to go around to various places in order to get to the Demon King's Castle.

　'I can't stay in my hometown.

Dad has work to do, so he can't go with me. The same goes for your mother. If you become brave, Gran won't be able to see your father or your mother.

　At least for a while.

　As soon as I told him that, large tears began to flow from Gran's eyes.

''Oh no~!

　My child who starts to cry.

I don't want to be separated from my mom and dad!　I don't want to be separated from my mom and dad!　I definitely don't want to be separated from my mom!
"Okay, okay.

　I hold my sobbing child in my arms.

　He was only six years old. It must be unbearable for even a naughty boy to be separated from his parents at his age, even if he runs around the fields and mountains every day.

I don't want to be brave!　I won't be a hero!　We're going to be together forever!
Okay, okay. Your father and mother will be with Gran all the time.

　So..........

''I'm sorry to everyone gathered. My son is still too young to understand what being a brave person is all about. It was rude of me to come to the brave selection meeting with such unpreparedness, but it was a child's doing, and I hope you will forgive me. Full responsibility.....

　My gaze turns to the side.

'It would be better for you to take it from this Mr. Gandomirahu. The narrow-mindedness of recommending a child as a brave man without thinking it through. I would like you to take it as a pitfall with a commensurate penalty.
''Neeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　Mr. Gandomirahu, who was convinced of the spring of his life until a few moments ago, was in a panic when he was hit with a huge twist.
　Gandomirahu, who was convinced that it was the springtime of his life just now, is now in a panic after being hit with a huge upset.

''Ridiculous!　Why do I have to clean up the mess of a little boy like that?　You must take responsibility for it!
You wanted to make Gran the hero, and you wanted to suck the honey, didn't you?　Risk and return are two sides of the same coin. You can't be pompous only when it backfires, can you?

　And don't call my kid a little b*tc*.

'Ridiculous!　Nonsense!　Hey, you little bastards!　Change the language!　Be the hero!　That's what you're supposed to do!　Do your job well!
No!
"Don't spoil it for me, you little shit!　I don't want to be a spoiled brat!　Everyone's on their own!　If you're a man, show some guts!

　I don't want to hear from you, who's still gnawing on your parents' shins even though you're close to 50.
　The sight of you forcing a child in front of the public is not pleasantly received by those around you.

That's enough!

　Finally, the Guild Board of Directors in the bleachers voiced their restraint.

''It's far too unseemly, Mr. Gandomirahu. Your father has fallen, and you're all pretending to be a replacement, but officially, you're not even a guild board member yet, let alone a member of the Center Guild.
Oh, my God, that's...!
''It's too obvious for such an anathema to interfere with the Center Guild's decision any further. Leave quickly. If you're not willing to lose it yourself, I'll order the guild guards to restrain you.
'Nonsense!　I'm as good as a guild director now!　If only my father would die!　When your father dies and disappears, that seat will be mine!
'Do you look forward to your father's death? How shallow. I cannot welcome such a person to the prestigious Center Guild Board of Directors. Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your permission?

　One of the guild directors looked to his left and right, and the other directors nodded in agreement.
　What the hell is this?

The Center Guild Board of Directors has designated Gandomirav as an 'undesirable person'. This makes it impossible for him to hold any key positions in the Center Guild, let alone the Board of Directors, thereafter.


　He lets out a voice like a chicken being strangled.
　In fact, it's like a death sentence for him.

''That's absurd!　If I can't be on the board, who will?　I'm not just a guy who should be on the board, I'm a guy who should be president of the board!　Just like your father!　If my father is the chancellor, then of course I should be the chancellor too!　Why do you try to stop me from taking that natural path?
You can think what you want, but everything in the world proceeds objectively. It's a mistake to think that this is the way you want things to go.
"You!

　Anyway, that's it for Gandomirahu.
　And to top it all off, we have one more messenger to drive him back to hell.

"Oh, I'm here at last.

　That was Mr. Alanziel.
　It must have taken you a long time to get from the Rasperda Fortress straight here to where I was working.

Dariel... which one of you?
Who are you talking about?
'Don't fall in love with me, you miscreant who tried to use my grandson and use him as a pawn. How dare you try to involve your lovely grandson in dirty politics. What a traitor. I'll have to put him to death myself.

　Well, here's what happens.

　Mr. Aranziel has been catcalling his grandson, Gran, and has hated the political habits of the Center Guild since he was an active hero.
　He would be angry at the double factor.

'Looks like I need to remind you of that, don't I?　What would happen if we pissed off this Alanziel?　Regret along with pain...!
YEAH!　Stop!　Stand down!　I will be the future President of the Center Guild, no!　Noaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?

　Aranzir-san, who had lost his temper, couldn't possibly show any more mercy than I did.
　Gandomilav was to drop out of the race for power, with every bone in his body broken.
