Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Episode 41: The Beginning of All

I'm in a hell of a place right now.

If I were you until yesterday, I'm sure you wouldn't believe me.

I can't believe I'm in front of the Emperor of the Glalinian Empire.

He was taken away half forcefully, and brought in during a glance.

When it came to me, I was clearly dressed out of place, dressed in dirty, rubbed clothes.

When I looked around, there was nothing close to me in my sight: a brilliant sword, armor, bright clothes by silk and gems, and a side of cloudless marble.

There's a cavalry of guards who seem strong besides the emperor, great old men lined up, but they're all far stronger than me.

So much for the difference between socially or physically.

They're looking at me at the same time, so you can't even stand on the side of your nerves.

"Forgive the direct answer, brave man. Well attended. What's your name?

"Uh...? Uh, it's Alfred. of the village of Cohen.

"Alfred, that's a good name. You deserve what draws the blood of a legendary brave man.

"Oh, no, I... I'm just a farmer. Whatever it is they say about brave men...?

In fact, I was a villager without any weird iron.

Nothing great or strong.

Neither sword nor magic can be used with skill.

On the contrary, I don't even have combat experience.

I'm really a rooted farmer, and I was still trying to get out in the field today, and all of a sudden they brought me here.

What kind of a joke is that?

"Ha-ha-ha, 'this time' Lord Brave is good. I understand humor.

I laugh all around me.

No, it's not Ahaha, and if you're different, I'd like you to leave already.

"Now, brave man. Your mission is to destroy and crusade the suburbs sitting near the border.

"Oh, that."

"Let's put on two of the offerings, one knight and one mage at a time.

Excuse me, I need to talk to you.

"Take the weapon of the moment, rather than the offering. Not much of it, but Lord Brave will also be paid more than the state.

Talk to me.

"Then go and come and hope for the results.

"Listen to me!

"Lord Brave, come out.

"I'm just a villager!

He was kicked out with his sides held by the inflexible men.

My scream would have been like a sinner sentenced to death.

Well, as it turns out, it's no different than the death penalty, where the difference is that I'm not guilty of anything?

He was taken out of the gates of the king's capital, and drawn to two human beings.

It's two strangely gotten knight men with big voices and an all-out robe and wand magician.

The two names... I forgot.

I guess it's because of too many other things I won't forget.

"O valiant lord! Let's embark on a crusade more than this!

"Brave man - if it's recovery and auxiliary magic, I won't let it.

The journey began with such a conversation.

No matter how many times I explain to the two of them that I'm not a brave man, I won't listen at all.

It wasn't a bad dream or a joke, and I realized again that this was real.

And the days of hell began.

I would sincerely regret not escaping while I was still physically fit.
