--After the triumphal parade, we'll take a break. We've been running all this way, haven't we?


　After defeating the Demon Lord Animus, Cross said something like that...

It's not going to be a vacation at all! (angry)

　I let my anger explode towards the neighboring Delhi.

"Emma ......

　And with that, Delhi's long, expressionless hair fluttered under the blue sky.

　Yes.

　This is the rooftop of an upscale department store in the heart of Zahaleveld.

　We've been sent here to participate in the "Miracle Five Fan Event".

Today is the event. Tomorrow is a photo shoot. The day after tomorrow, interviews. I was going to read all the BL books I had piled up over the vacations!

"......, but Mr. Cross said we should take next week off as expected.

　But Cross-san said we should take a break next week.

"Oh, really?

"Yes, this time," he said. And ......, we're not so bad, are we?

　Delhi pointed to the crowd of ladies and gentlemen over there.

　In the center of the crowd, of course, is the hero, Cross.


I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure what to make of it.

"I wish we could do the same.

　"I wish we could do the same." So they all ask Cross about the secret of success.

"Well, I guess. I think it's to keep challenging yourself without setting your own limits. It is true that there are many difficulties that come with being an adventurer. This is especially true when you are a Demon Lord. But I don't think a life of giving up on challenges is interesting.

"Oh!

That's a brave man!

　Crackle, crackle, crackle!

　Cross's empty-headed way of speaking is a big hit with Zaharberto's emerging businesspersons and vain female influencers.

"Well, Cross is fine. It's a natural thing.

　I mumbled to myself and looked at the other natural.

"Morie-chan!

"Morie-chan!　Good luck.

"Thank you. Thanks. I'll do my best.

　Over there, a crowd has gathered around Morie, who has quickly become an idol, and a mini handshake session is underway.

　Aaaaah, that's so funny ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm here.


　The Zahal Belt is one of the world's largest.


　Zahalberto is not only the largest city in the world, but also a mecca for adventure.

　The city has a large population, and the citizens have a high level of interest and awareness of adventure, and S-class parties are expected to have star quality and contribute to society.

　No matter how much you don't like it, that's the reality.


　And I thought I knew that, too.

　After I defeated the demon king Animus, things got even worse.

　Fans and the media rushed in.

　Every move you make attracts attention, and the slightest thing can set off a firestorm. .......

　Each and every one of these people is a person, but when they come together in large numbers to form the "masses," they look like one giant monster, the Leviathan.

　So.

　If a baby like Morie is just sitting around, she can be turned into an idol in no time.

　What?　You mean me?

　Well, if I, Emma Dressler (19), with my good looks and good manners, wanted to, I'm sure I'd become a super idol, even more so than Mollie.

　I'm not a big fan of that kind of thing, and I don't like it when people make noise around me, so I keep my distance.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. ...... is that... Derry?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

"Delhi-kun ♡♡♡♡

　Then, out of nowhere, a wave of Delhi's fans came pouring in.

　Dodo dodo dodo .......

　Apparently, Delhi's guy sensed their presence and ran away.

　Somehow, I'm all alone now.

　...... Poof.

I'm not lonely at all!

　And when I turned around to throw up like that.

　And when I turned around, I found my blonde braided senior sitting alone under a parasol at the edge of the venue.

　Hmmm...

　I walked up to the parasol, trying to hide my presence, and gently stepped up behind her.

　She has an S-shaped back that is slightly off the back of the chair, and pointed shoulders like a mature woman.

　With her blond hair pulled back over her ears, she seemed to be working on a pen at her desk.

　I put my hands in both sides of her from behind and grabbed her knitted and plump breasts.

　A handsome handsome handsome handsome handsome handsome handsome handsome handsome handsome ......

I'm not sure what to say. (laughs)

"Oh, my God!



　As soon as she did, her serious body jiggled, her braids danced, and her red glasses slid slightly down the bridge of her nose.

"...... Emma?

I'm not sure what to say.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm sure you're not the only one.

　Oh, by the way, .......

　Oh, by the way, you said that Delhi will finally be closed next week.

Senpai.

What?

You're going to Eiga's territory on your next day off, right?

That ......?　It's none of your business.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

I'm not sure what to say. That's right.

　And then she started fiddling with her braid, looking embarrassed.

　You're so cute!

　I sighed and continued.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

...... It can't be that way.

"Why not?

Why? ....... Because you can't leave this party alone.

　I sigh and answer.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. You can't replace Tiana, unlike Eiga, you can't replace her.

Emma, don't talk to me like that. ......

　I'm not sure what to say.

　It's a real pain in the ass.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

"What do you want to do?

　Tiana blinks her eyes behind her glasses as if caught off guard and asks back.

I'm sure you're right. In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to take advantage of it. In addition, I and Delhi have come this far because we really want to defeat the Demon King. But Tiana, you're not really like that, are you?　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.

"I... I'm not like that!

　It's not like that," she said, her braid rising in anger.

"I'm selfish too.

"Is that so?

　I'm not sure what to say.

"Then you don't have to think about 'putting the party first'. It's a selfish assumption on the part of that idiot, Eiga. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

"......

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　You can hear the cheers of the fans of Cross, Morie, and Derry in the audience in the distance.

　Oh dear.

　I sighed and looked around to ask the boy for a café au lait.

　That's when it happened.

"Hello, Tiana.

　A male elf came to sit on our parasol.

"Geez.

　I said involuntarily.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

"Is this a good place?

　"Yes.

"Yes.

　The man touched Tiana's shoulder lightly and took the seat next to her.

"Oh dear. I don't think a woman like you needs to be sent to a public place like this.

"Ha. ......

　This man Elf is an acquaintance of mine, El, the Great Sage of the Prophetic Office.

　By the way, he is a very powerful man.

　The Great Sage is a higher rank than the Sage, and he is currently the only one in the world.

　He is also the supreme authority of the guild, and is in charge of predicting the arrival of the 8 Demon Lords and identifying their appearances.

　He is 223 years old this year, but he has the longevity characteristic of an elf, and he has a refreshing smile on his youthful and handsome face.

　Oh, and...

　It seems that the reason why Tiana doesn't have many people around her at these events is because of this man. It's because of this man.

　That is to say, the people of Zahalberto all know that 'the great sage El likes her', so they can't get close to her.

　That's scary!

　Well, it's really funny that Tiana herself doesn't seem to be aware of any of this (laughs).

I don't know. I think this cane would look good on you.

"...... Yes.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm sure you'll be able to do a great job with your support magic.



(pic: ......) Do you think so?

　But when it comes to the topic of adventure, Tiana's answer is very sophisticated, so she naturally settles down to that topic.

I don't know. You're a top-notch adventurer, but I think you have the potential to be even better.

"More potential?

"Yes. Yes, the potential to rise above all adventurers.

　Tiana looks puzzled, but Elle smiles and continues.

Well, I thought ...... you guys were taking a break next week.

"How did you know that?

How did you know that?" "Haha, I always make them check your schedule.

　You're a stalker!

I don't know.　I need you to help me run my guild a little bit next week.

Yeah, well... I'll be at ...... next week.

　No, no, no!

　Tiana, next week we're going to Eiga's territory!

This could be your chance to move up, don't you think?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but I don't want to move up.

What are you talking about? The more capable people like you are, the less suffering the demons do to people. On the other hand, if powerful people don't try to get a position, they're not helping those who could be helped, right?

"Yes, that's .......

　Katchin (angry)

　I was so pissed off by that that I interjected from the side, even though I knew it was a bad idea.

I'm sorry.　You're so desperate, it's so funny! You're going to get rejected anyway!

　Then, Elle's neat Elven face turned into that of a young man, and she glared at me.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

　I'm afraid so. ...... (sweat)

I'm just saying this to be nice. I'm not sure what to make of it.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if there's anything you need to know.

It's not that. Tiana's favorite is .......

Emma!　No, no, no, no, no!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a bit of a jerk.
