40 The end




At ......, I'm leaving, but how long are you guys going to stand there stunned?


 I listened to those who were standing and eavesdropping on me and Luina's conversation, not interrupting them.
 The king dragon, Bailias, the prospective heroes, and Kåñëa.
 The dragons outside were being withdrawn by the king dragon with his magic and the sound that people couldn't hear.
 Other than that, no one else spoke or went anywhere but gazing at us.


''Ziad, Ziad ......!


 Weeg responds to my voice.
 It wasn't loud, but it was somehow laden with emotion.


'I have ...... called you a rival and so on. I've been buying too much of my ...... own power, ......!
Oh, oh? What's the matter, all of a sudden?


 Weeg speaks up abruptly.
 'I'm sure he wasn't in this character.


'Let's be honest. I hadn't achieved ...... when I was asked to retrieve the ...... healing water when I was asked to retrieve it.


 Weeg's clenched fists are turning white, as if he is about to reach his limit. He seems to be feeling a sense of helplessness.
 I see. I thought it was odd, but it seems that Weeg hadn't accomplished his request after all.
 It's a terrible thing, but Weeg was not good enough to accomplish that request.


He was inspired by Bailias. 'No one is really supposed to accomplish it. 'Unlike the barbarians in the Guild, you are a prince. I have seen your noble heart. Just pretend you've accomplished it.' ...... and
"Nah, ......! Weeg, what are you talking about ......!


 Bailias, who is being held back by the king dragon with his legs, shouts angrily.
 Looking at this reaction, it seems to be true.
 I think he originally planned to choose them based on their status instead of letting them accomplish an advanced request. That was accomplished by me and Kuena, and that's why they ignored it like that.


'But it's been sticking in my chest for a long time. I knew that someone else had achieved it before me because I saw ...... the mud containing the healing waters smeared on the bailiwick and I knew ...... it!


 Weeg's voice is raspy.
 It's as if he's trying to atone for his sins, to spit it all out.


'I've always wondered. Who it was. No, really, I knew. I know a failing guy when I see his face. ...... and the look on his face when he succeeds.


 Ziggy Weeg looks at me.


'No, it was Quay who brought the healing water that made that mud: ......
'I'm ......! I'm not even a competitor to Zied: ......!


 Weeg continues, interrupting my words.
 No, this is not working. You don't look like you're listening.


'Prince of Stillbeats. That goes for us as well.
 From behind Weeg's back, even more potential heroes nodded their heads in agreement.
'I couldn't even touch this one. All I could think about was running away first. ......
And yet, Mr. Zied, who was in the audience, was the first to come down this way.
That overwhelming sense of confidence and responsibility is something I admire at .......


 Each candidate for bravery leaves a word.
 I'm embarrassed to be told that much.


'I don't care what anyone says, I recognize Jade. I'll even ...... admire him.


 Weeg said.
 Then Bailias, who was attached to the ground, raised his voice.


'Oh, I wouldn't have to admit it either! I'll forgive you for your disrespect this time! So get this lizard off me!
No, I can't do that.
'Nah ......! Well, then, I'll make you a hero! What do you think! If I nominate you, you'll be a brave man for sure!
'It makes me laugh ...... that someone who tries to solve the problem by this means is a brave man. A brave man who is also an idol is what you call a clean and honest man, right? I don't think I'm anywhere near as good as I am.


 He laughed to himself.
 But to this Weeg replied.


''It's not like a brave man to have the means. But he saved the divine city with his own sins! None of us here could have cowered and moved: ......! I think you're a lot braver than I am for being unfairly voted in!


 I knew he meant that passionate speech.
 The passionate look in his eyes was like he wanted me to be a brave man.


'No, I'm not interested in being brave. To be honest, I'm not interested in being a brave man. I'm the Jide of the guild.
......! Ha. It's still great, Jide.


 His eyes widen and he's surprised for a moment. Weegh is left with a masterful smile.
 It's not that I'm insulting a brave man or anything.
 But that doesn't mean I admire them.
 I'm not interested. That is my honest feeling.


Then I'll go home.
'Well, wait, ......! Guh!


 When I try to turn away, the king dragon lifts Bailias up and sucks on him. This is not an animal's sweetest bite.
 The sharp fangs pierced Bailias' skin.
 It's probably a warm thing to think about in the future, though.


''Oh, I'm a heavyweight of the Brave Society ......! If I were dead, you'd have to go to ......!


 Bailias makes a bad move.
 What is this guy talking about? Do you still not understand the situation?
 Just when you think it's too much trouble to reply, Weeg replied softly, "I don't need to tell you the blunder that has brought God's City to this point.


''I don't need to tell you about the blunder that has brought the Divine City to this level of devastation. The fact that injustice was rampant in the Brave Society cannot be overlooked. I'm sorry, but the Association will have to be renewed or disbanded.''
Yoo, the Brave Society has received huge support from the human race: ......!
So what. Have you forgotten the identities of these people here?


 Bailias is reminded by Weeg that he has been told by Weeg.
 All of the men he has gathered - all of them - are from high ranking families.


'd*mn it ...... d*mn it ......! d*mn it. !!!!


 Bailias's screams echoed out.
 The king dragon flew away with Bailias in his mouth.
