"The hero was summoned? Are you sure?

"It's a phase of possibility, but I'm pretty sure it's a start.

"So, ...... is that magical explosion-like feeling you get from summoning magic?

"Yes.

I'm still trying to get a handle on it, but it's not an offensive magic, it's too big to detect. There are so many targets that even a dragon can't find them. Even if you spread your recovery magic over a wide area, a disaster of that scale would still cause a rumor or two. If it doesn't, there's only one possibility left. If he was forcibly summoned from another world, it's understandable that the magic wave alone would not cause any other damage. If the magic wave were to be of that scale, an attack magic of that scale would be able to see the smoke no matter how far away it was. It's impossible to hide.

It's too early to say for sure, but ...... the circumstantial evidence is there. So I'm curious.

I haven't caught up with it, but the explanation of the verse makes sense.

Then the next question is why the summons happened.

Events have a cause.

No, in this case, a reason.

Is our president on the move?

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I hear that a brave man has been summoned, but I haven't received any word from him.

Maybe it's simply that I'm the only one who hasn't been told.

"Is the president on the move, Memoria?

No, it's not. We have not been contacted. And the lack of time and preparation makes it impossible to guess how things will work at this stage.

I don't understand why you didn't contact us.

"Bath

Memoria says it's unlikely, and Barth says it's impossible to ignore the arrangements and move.

The company was not ready for a dungeon under the circumstances before coming here.

What would that president do to turn all those testers into a meaningless product to make sure it was ready to go live?

I can't say it's impossible, but I can say it's unlikely.

Before you know it, the place has become a place of speculation.

We'll discuss why the summons was made among our neighbors, or if this magic is something else.

In the middle of it all, me, Memoria, and Barth naturally keep talking.

"We would love to get some more information, but we want what we can't have.

It's going to take some time to gather the information here because it's so sudden.

"It's just a phone call away for them.

There's a communication bead over here, but it's limited in number: ......

Is there still a disparity in the exchange of information?

There is a difference in the means of transportation alone, and is it natural that there is a further difference in the means of communication?

It is also frustrating that we have to wait.

If I could use a phone, I would contact you, but without a tower, I would just use a smart phone or a sophisticated camera.

There are many uses for it, but I didn't bring it with me because it's too fragile.

Can't you get in touch with the company?

We're in touch with you, but unless it's an emergency, we're going to have to take the regular route, which will take time.

"Isn't summoning a hero an emergency?

"It may be that the Demon King's Army is no longer in the area. I don't know if the information is valuable enough to give it to them.

We have to be careful in a hurry, but we have to be careful, in case it's a hoax.

Yes.

We have not yet received full information that a hero has been summoned.

The careless move would not be taken by Barth and his friends.

I'm stuck on all sides, waiting for instructions.

These words are going through your head, and you naturally reach for a cigarette when you notice that I'm starting to get irritated and my head is spinning.

Hey, you got a good one.

Want to smoke?

Sorry.

Is it inevitable that you'll be found out when you try to smoke it glaringly, or even openly?

There are a limited number of them, but I think it's tasteless to smoke them alone, so I offer you one.

They will take it without reservation.

This one's a lighter and that one's magic, each with a different source of flame but the same gesture.

The smoke is naturally kept away from the memoria.

"I knew they smoked better over there.

"Can you smoke it over here?

I've got connections, and they're a few in number, so they're an occasional luxury.

"Well, I'll take the luxury of it when it's gone.

Smoke a cigarette and reorganize the information in a calmer thought, letting the joke of a lamenting berth go by that it was a bush snake.

It's the least you can do now.

I'll skip the question of whether the preconditions are in order.

There must be a condition for summoning a brave man somewhere else that doesn't involve the demon king's army.

There is some factor that can be attributed to our world alone, not to the Demon Lord's army. There's no basis for this, if anything it's a hunch.

Although the natural enemy of the heroes is the demon king in terms of atmosphere, I have a feeling that another factor is involved this time.

There must be a reason.

d*mn, things have been bad lately. Wheat prices are going up, rumors of the Inquisition are going around. That's making sales go down. We can't do this.

There it is.

"Huh? What's there? My store's sales?

That's why the heroes are summoned regardless of our president.

"What?

The words of Barth made me think of something that is not a guessing game.

It is not only the role of a brave man to respond to save the world and help.

It is the demon king that the brave men take on, but it is not absolute.

It is evil for the brave men to fight, or more specifically, evil in the eyes of their own camp.

If I'm right, these summoned heroes are no longer summoned under the best of circumstances.

"Hey, you're not on your own, explain it to me.

"The expectation is that they will--

"Mr. Barth! They did it!

"What's the matter with you, one after the other! What! God's coming down next!

Before I can say what I've come to expect, the door of the store is violently opened.

A grown man panting on his shoulder tells Bath to scream, his momentum still undiminished.

The situation changes as if it was planned one after the other, and you want to scream at the man with the momentum that makes you want to scream at the berth to have enough.

"A brave man has been summoned!

What's up with that?

"No, it's not! I didn't just summon it! They used the magic of Lingfeng to bring in a bunch of heroes!

"What? Hey! Is Lingfeng Arush?

Mt. Arush?

It seems to be expected that a brave man has been summoned, but from the conversation, it seems that the method is worse than summoning a large number of brave men.

"Memoria, what's in the Spirit Peak Arush?

"...... is sealed

"...... promised

I don't want to hear of what.

Memoria's face looks whiter than usual.

It seems humans are creatures that can't stop making mistakes.

What's sealed away? That one? Is it an evil god or something?

I can't take the option of asking nothing after all this time.

It's dangerous for me to keep my ears closed when Memoria and the others are having this much trouble.

I'm going to ask them out of desperation and say, "Come on, just do whatever you want.

I won't be surprised if there's a vicious hexenbiest or a dungeon.

"I am the first Zauberuber-King in contemplation.

Hey, what do you say you unsealed that thing. Keep it safe.

It's a bit of a surprise, but I can't help but get a kick out of it.

Isn't that seal, if anything, something the Demon King's Army can break?

Why would the heroic camp of the demon king's enemies bother to unravel it?

Isn't this one from about 5,000 years ago?

Does a thought body have any consciousness or intelligence left in it?

Even if there were any left, it couldn't be right.

That leads me to ......

"Is ...... in trouble?

"...... is in trouble

How long?

...... I don't know. But at least the thought body of the first master remains.

What if it's left over?

"It will be possible to destroy humans in realistic numbers.

"You're a fool, those guys who summoned the heroes are idiots. What do you think you're doing summoning them using the energy that was used to maintain such an important seal?

I said it twice because it's important, but it's not even a joke.

What were you thinking when you unsealed such a dangerous being?

You've put this world on the verge of extinction.

This world will die before our president gets his hands on it.

...... But there's a brave man, right? It shouldn't be that dangerous, right?

Well, they probably thought it was safe to summon a brave man to solve the problem, but the danger is still there.

It seems that there are enough brave men and women in the room.

It's hard to say, but according to legend, the first demon king wanted to make peace and was sealed away after his wife was killed in a human trap and his children were killed, so you shouldn't expect him to make rational decisions. In addition, even if there are a hundred level-one heroes, can they defeat a well-trained demon king?

I can't. ...... Okay, I'm going home, Memoria.

As much as I'd like to, it doesn't look like that's going to happen, does it?

A baby bird that will become a giant eagle in the future will not be able to defeat a mature wolf, even if there are many of them.

It is useless to expect playfulness and mercy from the wolf king who is driven by vengeance and not by rational hunting.

The future will be overrun.

The inhabitants of this world have unleashed a demon king who can only be called a disaster instead of a disaster that engulfs everything around him.

What do you think you're doing by pressing the doomsday switch?

There's no way you can continue your business trip under these circumstances, so I suggest you leave early, but it was Bath, not Memoria, who answered the question.

''Here's some additional information, I found out why those guys even used the magic of the sacred mountain to summon a hero.

"What?

A sheet of paper flickers to show me.

I receive the paper from Barth and look at its contents from the side of the memory.

"......

"......

After a few seconds of silent reading, I silently took out my cigarette and Memoria shook her head as if to stifle a headache, "Oh man.

It's awful.

"I'm not sure how humans think,

As I let out a puff of smoke and my headache subsided, Memoria and I simultaneously let out our thoughts on what we read in this paper.

The Eclair Kingdom and the priesthood state of Trice have formed an alliance and summoned heroes to defeat the empire that created an evil golem based on the body of the demon king thousands of years ago. So we should all work together to fight?

The one we read is simply a proclamation.

The text is written in more trivial terms, but it can be roughly summed up like this.

Let's talk frankly.

It's a travesty.

It's too obvious that the other side is wrong and we are righteous.

I don't know how many generations the demon king's corpse is, but I still don't know if the first generation or that demon king is something that can be used so proactively.

The alliance hasn't offered a solution for what to do with the First Lord's body.

Is the empire really in possession of such a golem?

The laxity of the outlook stands out very well.

To the Alliance, it's a good-or-evil story about the Empire building a completely dangerous substitute to invade: ......

I don't know why, but it's easier to imagine a movie with a monster showdown before the story of the heroes.

The title is Demon King (Ghost) vs. Demon King Golem.

The next target of the first Demon King, who destroyed the alliance, is the empire with a golem using the body of the Demon King, who also has the power of the Demon King, the people fleeing from the burning village, how will Isual's tomorrow be?

I'm sorry to say this, but it smells like a B-movie.

Also, there's a demon king in the movie and the heroes are the biting dogs.

I'm afraid I'm going to be caught up in the middle of a plan like this, but I feel sorry for the heroes who were summoned.

Sorry to sound like you're feeling sorry for me, but your return trip was rendered unusable for the time being in the aftermath of that sympathetic hero's summons.

"......

"I suppose that's what happens when you summon a world-beating hero.

"Transferring to another world requires the utmost caution, because summoning forcibly like this will destroy the road in the aftermath. It's just that the information about the destination is not lost.

"d*mn it!

It's been a hell of a ride.

If you're going to do this, do it in a way that won't bother you.

Plus, there's a war coming, and everybody is starting to leave town.

"No way.

"This is a city surrounded by four countries, you know? Let there be a war there. They'll send their troops to secure their base first. And no one would be stupid enough to stay in this place knowing that they would be drawn into the war. They'll give up the stronghold.

You're really screwed, you have to move out of town as soon as you get here.

You've come at a really bad time," he says, tapping me on the shoulder to commiserate with me.

I'd say pity me and give me some peace.

"What do you do, Memoria?

It will take at least a month for the road to be restored, but we will have arrangements in place in that month for a quick return.

I'll see what I can do.

In a situation like this.

You won't be punished for interrupting the trip, as you'd expect.

Naturally, our next move will be to come home first.

"Can we go home from here?

I can't, I need to get to the hub of the vein.

"The original location you had planned?

It's best if it works.

"Is it possible that you can't use ......

I've been having a lot of bad luck since I came here.

I promise I'll go get rid of them when I get back to Japan.

Why don't you take a break for now?

"But.

Let's go, Jiro, now is the time to rest.

"...... Oh

Just because you have decided on a goal does not mean you can move immediately.

You need to prepare for the journey and gather information in order to walk through this world that is becoming abnormal.

You're reluctant to follow Barth's instructions that you should now recover from the fatigue of your journey, but Memoria stops me from thinking that I could do a little more and takes my hand and leads me back to my room.

We leave, listening to Bath's voice as she gives instructions to the members gathered behind her.

"You had a bad day.

I wish I had won the lottery rather than winning this thing.

Returning to my assigned room, I jokingly return to the comforting words of Memoria sitting near my head as I lay in bed without hesitation facing my bedroom.

I've heard somewhere that the odds of winning a hijacking are lower than the odds of winning the first prize in a lottery.

Then I wonder what the odds are of getting caught up in a war in this alternate world.

Are you nervous?

"Oh, how I tried not to think of ...... Sorry, it doesn't help that it hits you.

I was trying to distract myself with a joke, and almost hit Memoria, who stepped in without hesitation and read my mind, but it was I who agreed to come here, even though it was ordered by my boss, and I was told it was dangerous.

After half-heartedly stifling an irritating line, what came out was a sense of regret.

It's not cool to hit your girlfriend, but as Memoria pointed out, I'm worried.

One trouble after another, and eventually war.

The road home was blocked and no one could guarantee you'd get home safely.

I don't care, sir.

"...... Okay, thank you.

"Yes.

Her smile showed a hint of relief that gratitude rather than apology had emerged.

Apparently, Memoria was worried about me.

And if I was going to do something to distract her from her anxiety, maybe Bath could see that anxiety.

Maybe he was trying to calm down someone who seemed dangerous and was trying to give me a break.

That's not like ...... at all.

I guess we'll just have to do what we can.

When you're calm, you'll see what you need to do.

You were right to change your mind.

Then first of all, you have to make good on your promise to me.

"You want to say that at this time?

Even if it would be an emergency ......

If you miss this opportunity, it will be a while before you are ready.

I can't help myself, as a man, if she gives me an anxious look from above, asking me if I can't.

I'll shut up and take her into my arms.

I know they didn't mean for you to take a break like this, but it's a stretch.

If you know it's going to be busy, then you have the option of regaining your wits.
