Chapter 227 During the Strategy Meeting of the Heroes

 

In the conference room at Crocus Castle. On this day, the heroes from each country gather in that room.

 

「Everyone, thank you for gathering here today. As you know, the alliance was formed and it’s decided that we’ll accept the demon king’s challenge.」

「But now that Han and Snowtail’s heroes are not participating, it’s undeniable that our war potential has declined.」

「It is extremely difficult to defeat one of the Great Eight Demons with only the power of us heroes who have gathered here now.」

「………」

「Hero Udberg, have you forgotten your lines? It’s 『At this place where the heroes gathered, we want you to exchange frank opinions in order to defeat the Great Eight Demons』, you know?」

「Oi, why are we in charge of this…?」

「「「Because we are heroes.」」」

 

Standing in the center of the conference room are the four heroes of Tazarnia. Setting aside Udberg’s feelings, it seems that they are the ones in charge of this meeting. Although, it’s unclear why they are making dubious poses that are full of originality.

 

「What? Why are the Tazarnia guys in charge of this? I don’t get it!」

「Now, now, let’s calm down a bit, Popura. What they are saying is not wrong.」

「Yeah, the enemy is that Great Eight Demons. Cooperation is absolutely essential.」

 

Overturning the previous comment, the heroes of Galdevalan agreed with Tazarnia’s opinion. Adelheit group and Crocus group didn’t have any objection, so they urged that it’s okay to proceed as it is.

 

「See, everyone is also saying that, you know? Hero Udberg, please continue.」

「You leave it to me in the end, huh…. Well, that’s right. Exchanging opinions is a good idea, but I think it’s important to know each other strength first. I’m not saying that you have to reveal your Skill composition, but you can at least tell us your level, job, and what you are good at here.」

 

Hund’s letter of challenge said that representatives from both sides would compete in the match. They even politely wrote down the representatives from their side, and those are Hund himself and two of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sea Demons. On the other hand, he showed his boldness by saying that it’s okay no matter how many his opponents are as long as the country recognized them as heroes. However, even if they carelessly gather people, they will only become a burden if they are not strong enough, and there’s a risk that Hund will take advantage of this. Udberg’s proposal was not only to raise cooperation as companions, but also to confirm whether they are worthy of that level.

 

「You are right…. It’s very difficult to cooperate without knowing each other’s strength….」

「Eh, wait! I don’t want to! Why should I reveal it!?」

「Yeah, we are fine with that. As for Popura, you see, she has a nature that she won’t accept it unless she denies it like this at the beginning. Despite what she said, she will accept it in the end, so don’t mind her.」

「Don’t just decide on your own, Rindou!」

 

Popura is making a fuss, but Rindou and Asebi are telling the others not to mind her. Udberg has a bitter face, asking whether it’s okay.

 

「Then, since I’m the one who proposed it, let’s start from our side. We heroes of Tazarnia are all from a nomad tribe. Because of that, our jobs are 『Hunter』 and we are all level 5.」

「In addition to 『Archery』, which is a related Skill, we also learned Martial Arts Skill for short-distance attacks.」

「Therefore, we are good at short-distance and middle-distance battles. We’ve been fighting by adapting to the situations to chase our prey, so I think we are able to cooperate better than most people.」

「But, we are completely not good with magic, so we’ll leave recovery and support to you.」

 

Tazarnia’s Heroes, Hunter Level 5 x4, confident in cooperation. Without being told by anyone, Fuchi began to write it.

 

「Then, next is us Crocus’s heroes. My job is a level 5 Ninja.」

「Ninjya?」

「Yeah, it probably doesn’t sound familiar, right? Well, just think of it as a job of a covert type. I attack mainly by throwing small blades, so I’d like to position myself in the back.」

「I’m a level 5 Warrior. There’s nothing else to add, I guess? You can just normally use me as a vanguard.」

「Um, I’m a level 5 Magician. The attribute I use is earth, so my role is mainly to hinder the enemy’s movement and provide support magic….」

「Also, I and Mani have Unique Skills, but we won’t explain them because they are not suitable for combat, and I don’t think there will be a chance to use them.」

 

The explanation was over with that, and Fuchi quickly wrote down their descriptions. Crocus’s Heroes, Ninja Level 5, Warrior Level 5, Magician (Earth) Level 5.

 

Since they have been talking in clockwise order, the gazes are naturally directed at the heroes of Galdevalan.

 

「… Are we really going to reveal it?」

" "

「They said before that we don’t have to tell everything, right? Besides, they will know after the battle started anyway.」

「Hmph…. I’m Popura, a level 5 Sage. I can both attack and heal with magic. To be specific, it’s fire and light magic.」

 

Sage is a job that’s like a combination between magician and priest. For that reason, it’s by no means superior to those jobs, and it’s often inferior in combat that it’s rarely be seen among adventurers. The benefits of leveling up are allocated to MP and intelligence, so it can be said that it’s more suited to be a scholar.

 

「Hee, Sage is a rare job, isn’t it? There was only one even in our class.」

「Eh, there was?」

「Ahh, maybe Katsuragi-san doesn’t know. You see, it was Shimoseki-san, who was a fan of Akira-kun.」

「Hee~」

「Hmph, who is that?」

 

When the talk was suddenly shifted, Popura seemed to be a little displeased.

 

「Calm down, Popura. Let’s get back to the talk. My name is Asebi, and I’m a level 5 Magic Fist Fighter. I’m using fists, not a sword. Please keep that in mind. Also, I can use lightning magic.」

「He’s like Dry…. Using muscles and magic together….」

「That’s an easy-to-understand example desuwa!」

" "

 

Magic Fist Fighter is a martial arts version of Magic Swordsman. To put it in a good way, its strong point is that it can use martial arts and also can use magic. And to put it in a bad way, it’s jack of all trades, but master of none. As the aptitude for magic is increased, there are many parts where martial arts related Skills are reduced. But it’s a job that gives you unrivaled strength once you’ve mastered it.

 

「And then, I’m a level 6 Hero. I have a Unique Skill called 『Brave Chain』 that slightly raises the status of people with a sense of fellowship. Well, for that reason, I want to get along with you all.」

「Ohh, you have a job of Hero…!」

「Also, you are level 6. That’s reassuring. And your Unique Skill is even more reassuring. Hero Rindou, let’s get along.」

「…… Hee, so you can have a same Unique Skill, huh.」

 

While the heroes of Tazarnia were impressed, Fuchi muttered so while moving his pen. Galdevalan’s Heroes, Hero Level 6, Sage (Fire and Light) Level 5, Magic Fist Fighter (Lightning) Level 5, Brave Chain!

 

「Now, it’s your turn. Well, you’ve revealed your upbringing at the point you are employing a goblin, but I will at least ask you!」

 

Popura is very belligerent, perhaps because she still holds a grudge with the case of Gobuo.

 

「I’m sorry for that. She’s really not good only with goblins.」

「No, I’m fine, but… Asebi-san is terribly spasming, you know?」

「Uhh, Adelheit…! The Red Devil…!」

 

Asebi is having a mysterious spasm.

 

「Don’t worry, it’s the usual thing. Still, Adelheit is a magic kingdom, so maybe you are all magicians?」

「What kind of party composition is that? It’s ridiculous if everyone is a rear guard.」

「Hahaha, you are right!」

「………」

 

Rindou’s guess was almost right.
