13-11 Local Hero

Satou's here When I beca adult, there were ht for 24 hours When you lack of sleep, you become short-tempered and tend to fail, so I desperately defended for three-hour sleep privilege at the ti to ask you--"

I moved to the abandoned fortress in Muno territory, and asked Hikaru at theTelephone

『Hero? Maybe he's not a hero suod Parion's secret art, but a local hero?』

Local They're not vegetables

『There were only a few of thekin heroes』

When I think about it, I'ot the title [Hero] after defeating Wagahai-kun after all--that's right, I remember now

--The title Hero is obtained after you've passed beyond the point of life and death

Zen the [No Life King] said such things before

That guy wantedht have passed a certain experience that was enough to ht be the cause of hisI've heard from Shin boy to Hikaru

『Sacrifices huh Perhaps the de that Shin boy to make the demon lord into a [True Demon Lord]』

"What's that?"

『Umm you see When a hero defeats a deht If a deet abruptly stronger The orc demon lord that I talked to you about back then was like that too~ Every time it defeated a hero, its power increased and the deot worse』

Fu just one opponent with the same level as yours, so heroes and derowth eleht have set it like that

『Okay Ichirou-nii seeet back to the Royal Capital』

"I'estion

There's no particular problem even if a demon lord becomes [True Demon Lord] and relatively powers up, but I don't feel like abandoning so to be sacrificed by the demons

However, it'll be sometime before Hikaru returns to the Royal Capital, so I'll have to deploy people to protect Shin boy until then

I thank Hikaru, and then tell her about the green dereen fellow hasn't been destroyed? A~, that's souy that survives』

"Can it create mock body in arbitrary places?"

『The demon should only be able to create it in the place where the real body is The resourceful kid in my hero party said so』

Then it's possible to intercept the deularly

"Do you knohere the dedo with the city by Ten-chan's breath, so it should be in another place right now maybe?』

"The present location of that?"

『Umm, I don't have a map now so I don't know It's around the west-northwest area from the Labyrinth city』

Around the western part of Marquis Eluet's territory--the tip of the desert huh

After checking various things, I cut the call with Hikaru

I've decided to go to the de to Boruenan village

I move to the prepared teleport base in the vast desert, and search for the dereen de this opportunity, I stop by the labyrinth's villa, stock soe

◇

I was thinking of telling Arisa and Liza on Valley after the breakfast, but the chase took h, so I decided to postpone it until evening

It's not so that needs to be told in a hurry anyway

We went back to the Royal Capital's e, and then I sent the children to the school

When I was preparing to go out with the carriage after changing my clothes, Zena-san and her friends visited

They're slower than usual today

Usually they would have come over before the children went to school after breakfast

"Welcome, Zena-san It seems you were called by Earl Seryuu yesterday--"

"I', Lilio as behind Zena-san apologized

Since it see room and listen to their story

"--I see In short, the Earl misunderstood the relationship between me and Zena-san?"

"Un, I spoke a bit toobetween us that would have led to ic soldiers are precious, so perhaps the Earl thought that I was seducing his retainer to be mine?

"Viscount-sama, please take this"

Miss Iona sub on her knees

Looking at the seal of the sealing wax, it seems to be from Earl Seryuu

"--It seems to be an invitation for a luncheon"

I show the letter to the members of Zena Squad, write a letter for my consent and pass it to Zena-san

The date written in the letter is to sudden has its limit too

I write the luncheon in the schedule book of the dom Conference

This conference is over to-awaited auction

--Let's get through it quickly!

◇

Ibreak that day, and tell the to Consul Nina, it'sto be about the newly created Labyrinth of Seryuu City

"Specifically, he probably wants you, who have several Mithril explorers as your retainers, and a group of excellent explorers as the lower branch in the Labyrinth City"

I didn't understand theof lower branch for an instant, but it's probably about the Explorer Training School and the graduates

I don't actually have the authority to order the Pendora guys, but it seeiving you that ic soldier as your mistress to buy your favor"

The fact that it's 'e

Ms Nina warned e promise with Earl Seryuu, but they fundamentally leave it to my will

The short break is over, so I thank Ms Nina and the others and then go back to the conference

It's not like I'e Zena-san into a political piece

◇

During the lunch, I order Echigoya Firh they're called watchers, they're not soh level spies, but they're just some non-combatants detective-like people

I told her to onlyat it directly, they're only going to report back if there's anyone suspicious contacting orthe boy
