Appearing were Albert, nine stalker demons whose faces were covered with black cloth, and the expressionless Big Hawk.

Wait, why is Big Hawk here?

I should catch up with me in this short time ...

"Once again, my prospects weren't crazy. You seem to belong to the same hero as me."

Ignoring my surprise, Albert keeps talking with an exaggerated gesture.

"You thought you had beaten me, but the prospects were terrible. That's within my expectations."

You lied, just backed up as a backup.

The response is too slow if expected. It's like he lost half when he took Al and Ademi out of that space.

"Albert, why is Big Hawk here?"

Albert was still talking about something, but he didn't seem to be answering my questions at all, so I asked her.

"that is……"

"That's because this Big Hawk is just a shell."

Big Hawk uttered, interrupting Albert's attempt to explain.

The voice was pleasant, like a bell, and clearly different from the Big Hawk voice.

"... That's the answer to that last question. How could you sacrifice 50 intermediate demons, even if you got some knowledge of medicine? I didn't know, but was the contract daemon behind? "

Big Hawk's face was distorted as ugly.

"I am the one who fulfills my wishes. His hope was to be the king of Zoltan, so I gave my help. I took over the body of this innocent and intellectual man, He decided to become a king within the limits of his ability and personality. You must have enjoyed it.

It has the slight disadvantage that you can't move it at your fingertips, but I believe you're happy. ''

Contract daemon. Devil of the contract.

The story about a contract with a demon that grants wishes is famous throughout the continent.

Much of the story ends in a tragic ending, and the soul of the stupid contractor is absorbed into the blessing of the contract demon, used to increase the level of blessing, and used as a material in the armor of the demon.

The leading role is this advanced demon. By signing a contract to grant the wishes of beings other than a demon, you can use the same magical power as God who can change the reality.

Advanced demons have the skill to make them obedient to lower demons. According to demon scholars, lower demons also have the ability to submit to higher demons. He seems to be binding not only on the impulse of blessing but also as a skill.

He would have summoned and sacrificed the Ax demons using his power.

And, perhaps, the knowledge of medicine itself must have come from this demon.

"Is it an advanced demon?"

Despite not being a direct battle demon ...

(I won't win if I fight decently)

There is no need to be other than Rooty here, even in Da Nang there are friends such as Yalandrara, and there is a good chance that I can win if the equipment such as Thunderway car is perfect.

But now I am the only one. There is no magical equipment, only a copper sword.

You are not ready to fight the advanced demon.

No,

"It's the same that you can't fight properly."

“…………”

A demon in the form of a giant half-orc does not change its look.

But I am convinced that my predictions are correct.

"If the contract demon worked seriously, it would have been easier to conquer Zoltan. Why didn't you do that?"

"... Why do you think it is?"

"I'm also studying a bit of daemonology. I've read a lot about dissertations on contract daemons. Contract contracts have tremendous power, but at the same time there are parts that contract daemons can't control.

"Now?"

"The contract makes the Big Hawk king of the Zoltan. For that you have taken over the Big Hawk's body and done all sorts of wrongdoing as a Big Hawk ... but the Thief's Guild No. 2 has stopped.

The contract demon's face was slightly distorted.

"It's not Date that is called a town of laziness. Even the mayor, guild leaders, and bandits guilds who manage the back society, the top here is determined by 100% seniority."

so.

The promotion to the top of the town is seniority.

After you have assumed a certain post, your achievements, blessings, or even your personality are irrelevant.

The older ones are bigger and the younger ones wait for them to age. There is no room for ambition.

why?

"I guess it's troublesome to rub it. Even if you don't do your best, your turn will come around. That's okay. Even the Big Hawk Thieves Guild No. 2 doesn't have a deputy guild manager. No matter how good you are, I'll wait another 20 years to become the Thief Guild. "

"... No, not at all, this is an incomparable town."

The contract demon closed his eyes with one hand and shook his head sadly.

"Similar wishes have been fulfilled until now. With my knowledge, judgment, and the power of blessing a demon, it should be easy. Let's confess and visit. Again, no matter how much reward you get, you won't shake your head because it's customary.The Zoltans are ridiculously lazy. "

"You who are bound by the contract cannot now abandon the body of the Big Hawk. The miracle of the contract has already been exercised. If you can not fulfill your wishes with that miracle, you will have defaulted."

The Demon must then let go of the Big Hawk soul. In the event of a breach of contract, all robbery from the contractor will be returned and some demon protection levels will be lost.

That's a big loss.

"Where did you look at Albert, the same stranger?"

It's no secret that the Thieves Guild and Albert are close friends.

The testimony of Big Hawk's presence in the middleman is supported by several testimonies.

The contract demon cannot use the power that Big Hawk does not have by contract, but the same contract can do miracles even with Big Hawk's appearance.

The contract demon agreed with my words without further swindling.

"Everyone is not a good contractor. It must be strong enough, but still have a dark heart in his mind. In this respect, this Zoltan is the worst place Everybody is somewhat dissatisfied, but gives up if they can't help it. The laziness is worth it, but it's not good for subscribers. Albert came here I was lucky. ''

Albert is blessed by The Champion.

A born hero. But he couldn't do much.

Although not weak, in the middle he was a B-rank party, helping the party to be a personal B-rank adventurer.

There was no one around him to tell me how to take the champion's blessing skills, and there were many factors, including his own talent and poor coordination.

But what is important now is that he was not satisfied with his situation.

Because he is a hero (the champion).

"In the Zoltan, Albert passed as a B-rank adventurer. At the time of the arrival of Albert, the B-rank adventurer in the town was a former mayor of the mist and adventurer's guild, Galadin, a leader of the Holy Church, Bishop of Cien, Captain Moen, the four of us had a party and found time to respond during our busy times.We were in a situation of terrible labor shortage. I don't mind if I have it. ''

Albert distorted his face a bit when talking about the contract demon.

Even if true, this story would be unpleasant for Albert.

I heard from Moen that the situation at that time was very bad.

All four were busy in their main business, apart from Moen, who was still active as a guard, and the other three were young enough to be retired, and lacked combat training in their regular work. There seemed to be many situations where the lower rank was in danger.

When Albert left the party and arrived at Zoltan, whose rank had yet to be assessed, the town immediately recognized Albert as a B-rank adventurer. The only situation was to do so.

Albert became a hero at Zoltan.

"But I hated this Zoltan."

Albert told her to vomit.

"Kudz ignores that there is a request that requires an adventurer in front of him and is troublesome. If you take your eyes off, it is useless just complaining. Is it my friend? It is the same B rank adventure as me Can you be recognized? And how can I live among them! It's a city that makes a fuss just to defeat Aurbea! What am I a hero who cares there! If it ends in this town What was my life for ?! "

The more he was acclaimed as a hero from the surroundings in the Zoltan, and the more he was accustomed to the weather, the more his friends were delighted with Noh Weather, which would have been a source of his grimacing darkness.

It was exploited by the devil.

"... but you can rest assured D rank. I'm a hero. I won't be involved in evil plots, even if I contract with a contract demon."

"Did this cause this incident? Some are dead."

"It's a necessary sacrifice. My hope is that this Zoltan will join us in the fight against the Demon King and make it a city with the strength and spirit. That's it. "

"What is the Demon Army?"

"From this story, Red, you can see that our actions are by no means evil."

The contract demon continues to talk.

"First, the Demon King's army, like the predecessors, has repeatedly called this Avalon continent ... we call it the continent of dazzling ... It follows that many races have been conquered by the current Demon King, so they are all following.The unconquered Daemons and the still-powered Dwarves have joined forces to become resistance with the Demon Army. I'm fighting ... but the situation isn't good. "

"So?"

"I am here to fulfill the wishes of this half-orc, of course, but also because I wanted the Zoltan in the rear to actively fight the Demon King."

what? The story flew in a great direction.

"Albert's hope is to be the hero who will defeat the Demon King along with the brave. The price of the contract is not a soul, but his life is devoted to fighting the Demon King until he defeats him. It would be nice if you could tell me not.

"Is it true Albert?"

"Oh, that's true."

Albert looked straight at me.

His eyes are burning with ambition.

"I got the power from this demon, the magical sword Vorpal Blade that can kill any monster! And the devil's blessing that gives the power to fight Kuzu's guardian! I will seize the Zoltan Congress and become a general. Become a military nation and fight for the heroes! "

Albert barks.

Albert is likely to see the Demon King's soldiers rushing, the brave hero Ruti and the warrior Danang, and the soldiers spearing in response to their voices.

"I'm Albert, the Champion! Now, I'm not a fallen adventurer Albert who only works in the frontiers, I'm worthy of the hero's protection! I'm a hero fighting the Demon King! That's it! "

With me away from the brave party and Albert aiming for the brave party.

We were expelled outside of the same force, but contrasted forever.
