There are several countries on this continent. Among them, Bordeaux, the country I live in, is a big country in the centre of the continent, with more economic and military power than the surrounding countries. Turning to the west, there is a religious state, Llumiere, which believes in the God of Light, and to the north there is an empire called Levre, which is continuing its military expansion to heighten its perimeter and tension. From there, we briefly introduce the country surrounding Bordeaux clockwise, directly north of Bordeaux, where the majority of the inhabitants are elves, but also Zerbis, a country of rare political systems: republican. The Kingdom of Hornet, a major producer of crops located in the northeast. To the east is Barrios, a country where shipping flourishes. To the southeast is a large wetland zone with a large portion of the national territory, Bercis, the country of Lizardman. To the south is Zephyr, a country of vast deserts and rocky mountains. And lastly. A kingdom strom in the southwest. They say this country doesn't have any particular salient features.

As a country, this is all of it, but actually, even if we add all of these countries together, they only make up about half of the continent. That's also because the western half of this continent is called the Demonic Realm, making it a dangerous zone where people don't lean on it. Demonic Realm - There live a belligerent and powerful race called the Demonic Nation, with numerous demons roaming around. You might think I'd say as if I'd seen it, but I actually had a past of breaking into the depths of the demonic realm in my active life and taking over their king, the Demon King. Compared to that time, the demonic realm has been extended considerably because the demons poked me through a gap exhausted by the war, he said.

One day, the king of Bordeaux in this country gave us some serious information about such a large number of countries. Needless to say, it's information about the demon king's resurrection. Even so, it is not definitive, but only at the stage that it is possible. Still, it seemed like it was informative in the sense that it should be better to be alert beforehand than suddenly attacked, but this caused more confusion than expected.

Lümière denied from his head that he could not believe without a divine commission, and the Rebble Empire accused Bordeaux of plotting an invasion of the surrounding countries, dashing with a demon king who was not there. The Republic of Zerbis has stated that it has no problem because it can defend itself. Barrios, the shipping country, responds only to form and shows no movement when he thanks for the advice, and not even to Bercis and Zephyr. Only the kingdoms of Hornet and Strom have responded decently. They don't have a lot of fighting power, and the national power is somewhat inferior to the rest, so maybe they're counting on Bordeaux's fighting power at times of need.

If the countries that refused to cooperate were asked whether they would take any measures, they would categorically refuse. They began to develop their own national strength, though for various reasons, such as the qualitative improvement of their own soldiers and the preferential treatment of adventurers. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks it's quicker to cooperate honestly.

That is why countries all over the continent have become noisy since the warnings given by the king of Bordeaux. Those who took the risk of dividing themselves into demons and trying to obtain information did not cease to follow, and those who took the uncertain Demon King and tried to raise his name whether he was resurrected or not also appeared next.

But that's not where the worst trouble is right now. Because a large number of fraudsters have emerged who call themselves' brave men ', and there are frequent cases of unjustifiably winding up hardware and other items from people.

When I crusaded the Demon King, nothing happened. I didn't name myself a brave man. As with this one, there were many self-proclaimed brave men, but most of them were con artists who had no strength to enter the demonic realm, and those who invaded their own strengths were not left to feed the demons.

The same thing is likely to happen in this day and age, but it's a great man's job to do something about it.

The first confirmation of a self-proclaimed brave man in this city was a week ago. Karin was picking up strange rumors when she was eating a meal with three new people at home and talking about all the things that had happened that day.

"I hear the brave ones are coming! He's wearing great gear and he looks so strong!

"I might have seen those guys, too. He's the one with the two offerings, isn't he?

Apparently, Ciel was also witnessing. As far as I'm concerned, I have trouble reacting. I'm not willing to name myself a former brave man now, and if the right man can do something about the Demon King, I'm in the mood for support because it's easier that way. Neither do the two who don't even think the ex-barriors are eating shards at the same table, blossoming in brave rigging.

"The brave man came to this city to nourish his English before entering the demonic realm!

"You must be strong enough to say brave. Because you have the power to defeat the Demon King, don't you? I wonder which one is stronger, Lapis."

"Oh, that's interesting! Lapis, you're off tomorrow, right? Let's go on a tour together!

"... give me a break..."

I already said that. I didn't want to get caught up in Gotagota, so I wanted to avoid it, but the next day I was taken out to the city so the two of us could pull me over. I don't think many people notice the three of them dressed in extra clothes as adventurers.

"This, is it all for the brave?

"Looks like it. It's like a parade is about to start."

The front of the inn, where a row of brave men are staying, is crowded and overflowing and I can't see the front. With more than half of the boulevard occupied by tourists, the clerks in the shops around them look annoying. The only lodging for brave men is the luxury lodging, and there are two strong gatekeepers at the entrance, so no one seems to push the boulder into the lodging, but the entrance to the lodging is crowded.

"Ahhh!

"Master Brave!

"Turn around!

From time to time, brave figures face and wave through windows on the top floor of three floors. Every time from the crowd - mainly from women - yellow cheers fly, enough to make my ears hurt by too much noise. I can enjoy being driven by the urge to get on my knees and ask where the hell the exciting elements are. The figure of the brave man I saw with chirali was the kind of brave man that 10,000 people would want - to say. Blonde blue-eyed, white and sleek in shape. The neat face was also a nod creation to gain overwhelming support from women, as if it were the prince himself in the story. I don't have to wonder if actors are better suited than brave men.

"That's amazing... so popular..."

"You can't meet me in person like this. If you know anything about powerful magic, I just wanted to pull some info."

"Then let's go home now. It's better to go get something tasty than to look at the window here."

"... right. You know what?"

"Too bad. I rarely had a chance to meet a celebrity."

My persuasion convinced the two of us reluctantly, and while I was heartbroken that I could finally leave this place, our surroundings were once again in cheer. I wondered if the brave man looked out the window again and waved even in his hand, and when he tried to walk away ignoring it as it was, he was accidentally slapped on the shoulder. Looking back, there was one muscular warrior standing there, smiling. He was definitely one of the brave guys around, wasn't he? What do you want from me?

"Ma'am. The brave man is invited to tea in his room. Take them with you. What do you say?

I don't know what you think you're talking about! Were you even checking this one's face when you showed up with Chirali? It's the guy you're after. I don't think I can trust you anymore. As of now, my testimony to the brave has been lowered.

"I'm sorry, but I have business to attend to, so hang up."

"I'm going!

"Lapis! It's an invitation, so it's a loss to get on! Come on, let's go!

I'm not as interested in the brave as it sounds. I naturally tried to say no, but that was stopped instantly by the two of us. The two are strong at a time like this. They pulled my hand from both while I was trying to waste my resistance, and it was in front of the inn in no time. All of a sudden, we are brought to the attention of those around us. A relentless curse flew from behind our backs as we were led into the inn in the sight of them.

"Yep! Why are you such a dick!

"You even used color on the brave man! You skank!"

"Get out of my way!

They said a lot back there, but by closing the door I could pretty much shut that down too.

"skank... skank..."

"It's okay, Lapis? I think I'm tired."

Ciel peeks into me worried that I'm unusually depressed. Try to wave it back, smiling powerlessly, saying it's okay.

"... it's okay. I'm just surprised I didn't think you'd complain so much."

The truth is, I just took plain damage from being called skanks, but I wouldn't have to tell you that.

"This way."

The warrior, who has always been polite in his waist, suddenly points to our destination with his chin in a transverse manner, as he rounded off the gentleman's mask as soon as he entered the inn. I don't seem to be the only one slightly irritated by the size of that attitude, and Karin and Ciel are also squinting their eyebrows in surprise.

"... what do we do?

"... well, we've come this far. Because of that, let's go."

"Right. It's too soon to get short tempered, isn't it? Maybe he's the only one who looks great."

We're both temperamental. It's nothing. They're not even kings, and I think you should go home if you don't like them. Is this the difference in social experience? I need to apprentice. The man showed us the long stairs leading to the third floor of the inn. From the signs, there are no other guests staying in the room. Maybe it's rented out.

"Right here. Get in."

The room in the deepest part of the third floor seems to be made bigger than the others, with two open doors. The luxurious flowers lined up near the door, making the inn welcoming. As I stepped inside following the warrior who had entered earlier, the brave man who had just seen himself through the window and the man who seemed to be his companion were thoughtfully generous. When I look at the butterflies and closed doors, a warrior who has guided me so far is royal. No way. Are you gonna lock me up? Sit on a luxurious couch in three pieces as you are alerted.

"There you are. Just when I looked out the window, you guys got into my eyes. Let me ask you out for tea."

"Ha..."

The man named brave...... sat beside me without saying no. My body floats a little when I was sitting right next to it because of the momentum. You're dressed like a kizza, but you're a very sloppy guy. Karin and Ciel, another surrounding sat beside each of them as well. Don't feel anything that's not good from the sight of them. I hope this doesn't go crazy.

"You know it all along, but let me introduce myself again. My name is Wyatt. A promised man of the future as a brave man to save the world."

Wyatt single-handedly lifts his proud blonde hair. I've never heard of your name, and I'm not interested in it - I can't say it to a boulder, and it's best to respond with a loving laugh. When I look at Chirali and the two of them, I can see they're obviously donning. It's not something you can do to get your two ratings down from the top to the bottom just for this short exchange. Let's do it.

Wyatt grabs a bottle of liquor and pours Dovadoba into the cup in front of me, wondering what he mistook of us staring with a caged, lukewarm eye of contempt. I don't hesitate to pour that into what seems like a fancy drink, so you can get all dirty on the table with splashed liquor. Was this the reason why I thought it was a strangely alcoholic room?

"Drink if you like. It's a fancy drink that you guys rarely talk about, huh?

"Yes... there you are..."

You're the one who turns people's nerves upside down with his gaze from above. I tried to take one deep breath with my mouth to my apologies, and it calmed me down a little when I was standing. I'm not sure if Wyatt is real or fake yet, and it's too early to go home angry. Besides, Karin and Ciel seem to want to ask them something, and this place is patient. In the meantime, it was Karin who cut the tantrum.

"Um... the brave ones are strong, aren't they? I think you're an adventurer, which rank are you in now?

Karin asked herself a healthy question as she drew her face to her hand, which was tamed and turned to her shoulder by one of her surroundings. You're trying pretty hard.

"We don't want to get caught in a crappy frame of rank or anything. I dare not act as an adventurer."

"So how are you funding your regular activities or something? Accommodation in this inn is expensive..."

"You could have stayed for free if you found out I was a brave man. Not only in this city, but there are many people who want to work with the brave. I live with the goodwill of those people. They'll lose their minds trying to help save the world."

…………

Doesn't that mean you're not working? You don't even notice that he's being spooked, and Wyatt makes a playful move, as if he's been through difficulties. Looks like Ciel's going to challenge him this time.

"A brave man can use magic, right? What kind of pedigree are you good at? Can I ask you something for your information?

"You can use it all when you're as good as me. You don't have a bad pedigree."

"Wow! It's a boulder! As far as I know, there's only one person who can use all attributes!

"It's no big deal! A brave man would have done that, wouldn't he?

The one Ciel said was probably about me. Still, Ciel, I don't think the attitude of the Wyatts bothered me very much. You seem impressed when you only hear the words, but your eyes aren't laughing at all. Those are the eyes of a hunter who sees his prey.

"Naturally it's unchanging, isn't it?

"It's obvious, right? It's not a big deal."

"Right. Because no chant can be used by even the guild receptionists. By the way, you can use your daughter sitting next to you."

Wyatt stripping his eyes and distancing himself from me. Oh, come on, with that blatant attitude, you find out you're lying.

"Heh heh... that's a big deal. Are you a wizard?

"... I don't even specialize in magic. You can use a single weapon."

"It's our master! She's cute, but she's so strong!

What do you say yourself, but if it's just the way you look, I'll be the weakest of the three. I thought Wyatt and the others were joking because my daughter said she was a master.

"Ha... I've been duped. There's no way such a lovely young lady is a wizard."

"Hey Wyatt. How long are you gonna keep chatting? I brought him in because of you, so it's time to have fun."

"Right. Do you?"

Wyatt's hand reaches out and my body is held by force. Karin and the others are in a similar situation, but no one screams. Naturally. I've been observing them while we're having our current exchange, but they're weak. Maybe Karin's the only one with enough arms to beat them all up, so I don't have to rush.

I thought, "You know what happens when you get on an invitation?" Have fun with us. "

An outstretched hand quickly lifts my jaw. My physiologically unacceptable face inevitably approached me and I was about to be forced to take my lips away. Exactly that's when the words leaked out of my mouth.

"... before I do, can I ask you one question? You're a brave man, aren't you? Then why don't you just go to the enchantment and not play in this place?

"There's no way you're gonna do that, is there? I'm a brave man, aren't I? A brave man is hope. If I die, many people will despair. I should be somewhere safe for them."

... now I'm sure. He's just a con man who names brave men. You must have repeatedly eaten and drank penniless food or made a girl cry with an M.O. like this one. If you want to save the world wholeheartedly even if you don't have the strength to, I wasn't going to put a particular hand in it, but if you're just a con man, you need to punish him.

"I see, I get it. You... No, you guys are just scum. Karin, Ciel. We'll get him."

"Copy that!"

"Of course."

"Hey you guys! Think of something strange. - Come on! Get off me! Goddamn it! Get off me!

The man who was trying to get her hands on Karin - the arm of the warrior who has guided her here, she holds it from herself and decides quickly on her joints. The moment the man who was about to cover himself with Ciel rushed to rush, the man collapsed to the spot without even raising his voice. You've been kicked up your groin thoughtfully, rolling around in stuffiness.

"Nah!? Are you crazy, you guys! You're going to blade me for being a brave man!

"You're not a brave man, you're a fraud, right? The current perpetrator of an attempted assault on a woman. Be caught by the adults."

"Don't be ridiculous!

Avoiding Wyatt's arm, which had grabbed him, and punching his index finger into his forehead, Wyatt peeled his white eyes and flipped to the spot. It's my own interpersonal control technique, the only thing that rocks the other person's brain. The fake brave party, literally killed instantly, is blue-faced and trembling about whether the current havoc alone has hurt the difference in strength. Probably imagining what lies ahead.

Maybe their damage should extend not only to this city, but to Bordeaux as a whole. I spread my face and name from myself, so if you do a little research, you should get a heap of aftersins. At the end of a long trial, I don't know what end they'll follow, but I'm sure it's not a bright future. I grumble as I drop off Karin's back and explain the situation to the clerks peering into the room with something.

"A brave man is only a poor lottery...... He's a strange guy who wants to move on."

"Lapis, did you say something?

"Nothing. Let's go eat something sweet if we stick them out."

"Good for you. That. It's going to change my mood."

I don't want you to call yourself a brave man anymore. I don't want you to show up before me again at least. That's who I thought I was, but thank God this world isn't nice to me. Because the next brave man showed up without putting so much time aside.
