Great Saintess] Panakea-san is a woman who has an extremely high aptitude for the White Demon Law. Of course, if it wasn't for her own efforts, she wouldn't have been able to invoke the white magic method that was so effective.
　The polar opposite of the white magic that heals non-fatal wounds for sure. That was a magic that should be called a 'miracle' or 'white magic'.

　He had a vivacious personality, and he himself laughed at the fact that the nickname of 'saint' didn't suit him.
　She was thirty-two years old and had a child, but even many teenage adventurer fans were captivated by her. Her beauty has never diminished, and she even seems to be getting more polished every year.
　Even so, she decided to retire when she was pregnant with her third child.

　It was for this reason that I was recruited as a replacement member.
　I refused, so it was decided to invite someone else to join the aerial party.
　And that member was--.

''Mr. [Gale Hero] Yuan!　He's under contract to a high-ranking wind spirit, and he's thirteen years old this year!　He met Aerial when he was invited as a special lecturer at a training school, and after joining, his activities reminiscent of the brave men of youth excited the hearts of fans who were depressed by the withdrawal of the saints!

　This Euan is actually the same age as Béla-san, the Ice Hero.
　I had read somewhere that this year's newcomers were a bumper crop, and Beulah-san and Ewan-kun were also listed exactly on the list. These two in particular had joined the top-ranked party and could be said to have a significant lead over the other peers in terms of name recognition.

　And to the extent that they could not be criticized for their lack of strength, they were excellent.
　When it comes to that reputation in the first and fourth ranked parties, it means that he is capable of being outstandingly talented in the group.

　I've actually talked to him, but what can I say, he wasn't friendly, perhaps because Aerial-san had recruited me first, which made him look like a rival.
　He was a polite boy, and although he was firm in his conversations, I felt the slightest bit of thorn in his side.

　From his point of view, I was the man who refused the invitation of the respected [Storm's Hero]. Myself, the invitation came around because of the 'thanks' that Reme refused. I'm sure it's a complicated feeling, and it can't be helped.

''There are a lot of beautiful adventurers these days too, aren't there?''

　If Lace-kun is a bright beautiful boy, Ewan-kun is a cool beautiful boy.

''Mira-san, do you care about that when you look at him?''

I don't know. They say it's a feast for the eyes, but it certainly makes you feel good to have something beautiful in your vision.

　Mira replies casually.

'Something like that, huh?'

　It's true that Fenix looks like a beautiful young man who is white and has a lot of female fans, and Lark is popular because he has sleepy eyes but is handsome, too.

　It's true that in recent years, adventurers' looks have become more important than ever before.
　It's an effective way to attract a lighter demographic, and the attractiveness of beautiful men and women is easy to understand.

　In that sense, I was unpopular.

　I understand what Mila-san is saying, but for some reason, I'm the one who feels the slightest bit trapped.

'But to me, it's only like loving a piece of art. It's more like appreciation.

Oh, I see.

　I was surprised at her words that followed, to my own surprise - I was relieved.
　--Hat...?
　I'm confused by my own feelings.
　Now that was........maybe.

''Hmmm, did you get jealous?''

　Her gaze, as if she could see through it.

'Eh, no...'

　She rises from her seat and lays her own on my hand on the tabletop.

　Warm as sunshine, smooth as china, white fish hands.
　Red as blood, beautiful as a jewel, both eyes.
　Sweet as ice cream, intoxicating us like liquor, beautiful voice.

'For two years now, there's only one lord I've been enamored with.

　Mila said and smiled at him.
　It was an intense and beautiful smile that grabbed my heart.

''Oh, thank you...?

　I manage to speak, feeling my cheeks heat up.

'Hmm, you're welcome?'

　During our conversation, Aerial-san's introduction was being played on the video board (TV).

'And the last one is this one!　The best of all adventurers, the best of mankind!　--Mr. Aerial, the brave man of the storm!　I don't think it's necessary to explain anymore, but everyone knows about his prowess in making contracts with the four great spirit bodies and controlling the wind spirit arts!　How will he defeat the Demon King's Army Counselor, who was also defeated by the Four Great Spirit Contractor, Mr. Fenix, in this raid battle!　We need to pay attention!'

''.........By the way, by the way, the way you just explained it, the way you sounded as if Mr. Remeghton was bound to lose makes me terribly angry. Let's file a complaint with our sponsors.

　Mira, who seemed to have been listening carefully, was staring at the screen.

''No, no....''

Reme-san, don't you regret it? It's the fact that you think that the demons are the victims of the attacks. To the person who stood up to get rid of them, her statement should be hard to ignore.

　Well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't care.

If it was something that was going to change with attention, it would have changed a long time ago.

That's true, but...

　Mira still doesn't seem to be convinced.
　I know the feeling.

You can prove it.

　Mira's mouth, which had been about to say something, closed with a swoosh.

'Win. The current public perception of the world may be set up, of course, but it's also an achievement of the countless victories that the adventurers have racked up. So, we should be able to build up too. We'll win as much as we can, and beat the strongest people as well, and we'll remind everyone that dungeon capture is a game where you don't know who's going to win.

　Even if you're like Mr. Fellows, you don't have to lose your dungeon attack in a hurry.
　It'll take a while, but I'm going to do it this way.

　This is our chance to do it right.
　It's because we can fight off the best of the best, including the top of the adventurers, in one fell swoop.

''As expected of you, Reme-san.

　Mila smiled again.
　But unlike before, a very, very proud smile.

''Let's show the world that demons can win. That even if you are the number one, you cannot be immune to defeat. We, the Demon King's Army, will prove it.

Oh, yeah.
