“Good job, Zero-kun!”

“Comrade, you had a hard time.”

“………”

When I got to Yug and the others, the six are waiting for me. Yug and the others held on tightly to prevent the three of them from returning to the heroes they had contracted with. I had given them the magic power to do it.

“Um… Darki?”

“……..”

Only Darki didn’t say anything when I came over and just stared at me. I called out to him, wondering what was wrong, but he didn’t respond.

“Leave it. This is more important right now.”

“Oh.”

I turned my attention from Darki to the three people who had made a contract with the heroes.

“I never thought that you could beat the heroes by yourself…”

“It’s amazing…”

“I can’t believe you are from the same race as the hero…”

No… it’s not like I won alone… Even if you consider the heroes alone, I’m the one who did all the damage and the one who put an end to it, but Sophie saved me by giving me her magic power.

And, am I out of the bracket of being a human race now?

By the way, the injuries of the three of them had healed nicely. Yug had healed them with the magic power I had given her.

“Zero-kun, hold out your hand.”

“Uh, yes.”

I did as Yug said and put out my hand. Then, I received enough magic power from Yug and the others to have quite a bit left over even if I recovered all of it.

“Zero-kun, right now, you can’t do such a dexterous job of taking in magic yourself while giving it to us, so I gave you our excess magic power.”

“Thank you…”

In case you’re wondering, I’m the one who’s giving Yug the magic power… Why’s she so superior to me? No, well… maybe she’s superior to me in terms of position.

Rather than that, first of all, I recovered the damage with the recovery magic using the magic power I received. Then, with the recovery triple half enchantment, I also recovered my stamina.

“We are going to believe in you, who overcame by your own strength the despicable trickery of the heroes, who aren’t the heroes they’re meant to be, and who built a friend-like relationship with your contractors. No matter what consequences await us as a result of our faith, we will not hold a grudge against you, nor will we regret it.”

The three species who had been watching the conversation with Yug and the others looked at each other and then nodded. Then, as if representing the three of them, the spirit said so.

“Well…”

“These three said that they wouldn’t want you to release them if you couldn’t beat the heroes, or if you won by using a similar trick to the heroes.”

Darki told me that and I still didn’t understand the situation well.

Incidentally, he said that if I failed to liberate them, the heroes would know that I had failed. So the three of them didn’t want to be treated even worse by the heroes when they found out they were trying to be liberated.

They also said they wouldn’t want me to free them if I was the same kind of person who would win by the same means as the heroes, but they thought I might do something similar to the heroes.

It seems that the three of them had such deep wounds in their hearts that they even doubted me, who had a contract with the kings.

By the way, except for the saint, I won almost without any help from Sophie, but they said that was a great success as a result. Thanks to that, the heroes are now a little afraid of me, apparently. They said that was one of the reasons they believed in me, as well as the buffing role I played in increasing my success rate when I freed the three of them.

I now understood the true meaning of the goddess’s words, “No matter how unfavorable the situation may be, you can never be allowed to lose”.

“So, Zero-kun, do you want to do all three of them at once? Or shall we do them one by one?”

“Which one has a higher success rate?”

“If you want to be sure to liberate even one person, you’d do it one by one. If you want to be sure to free all three, do you do them all at once?”

If I do it one by one, they say, I get the hang of it from failure, and the success rate after the second person is much higher. Of course, there’s a probability of success the first time.

On the other hand, if I do it all at once, there are only two possible outcomes: either all Is successful or all fails. Furthermore, if I do it all at once, Yug and the other three can help one person who is about to fail, and the success rate is higher than the first time when I do it one by one.

“Okay, I’ll do it all at once.”

“Yeah, that’s great!”

“That’s why we’re comrades.”

“…I see.”

Then I asked Bros what to do.

The first step is to spiritualize, devilfy, and beastify them. Then he said I’d grab the three of them by the hands and when they were conscious, they would know of their own accord. He said that the preparation for this could be done by just Yug and the other three. After that, it was up to me.

“All right… let’s do it.”

“Once we get started, it’s a race against time.”

“I get it.”

I’m going to do the spiritualization, which means that Yug and the others who were in charge of keeping the three of them bound will be gone.  Then, should I not have killed the heroes? I was worried, but I heard that it would be the same even if they had fainted here.

Incidentally, the time I can stay in this stage is limited, so I have to hurry a little.

“Spiritualization, devilfication, and beastification.”

Then I grabbed their hands.
