South Marsh inhabitants at the Big Hawk mansion were confused.

Alemi rescued Ademi, who seemed to have been concealed by a guard, and another man kidnapped two more.

The Big Hawk rushed into the mansion, and one of the Big Hawk's minions told him to wait.

The longer you wait, the more anxiety people have.

Eventually, trivial complaints occurred all over the place, and it was no wonder that the fighting in the fighting would occur at any time.

"Oh, hey!

At that time, the man behind me shouted.

Countless footsteps, metallic sounds of armor, and a hull (axe spear) shining from the setting sun.

"Eh, guard! I'm fully armed!"

Surrounding the Big Hawk mansion in a blink of an eye, the guards lined up with Halbert standing.

They are not light clothes when patroling the town.

Dressed in a heavy armor called a half plate that combines a steel plate that covers only the upper body and a chainmail that protects the arms and limbs, a long sword and crossbow on the waist.

And a long handle weapon (Paul Weapon) Halbert with a length of about 2 meters in his hand.

This was the fully armed guard used in times of emergency, such as wars and riots.

South Marsh residents, on the other hand, are not properly armed.

Some wear knives, short clubs, short swords, and light skinned armor for protection, but because of their familiarity with such equipment, there are many who differ in their strengths from fully armed guards. I was appalled and felt a sense of defeat.

More than half of the sunset illuminating South Marsh was swallowed by the horizon.

"Did you understand the situation, D rank?"

"Well."

Albert says with his sword pointing at me.

I was standing with my copper sword pulled out and listening to the story, ready for war.

"... Do you remember when I tried to pull you in before?"

"Well, it's only recently."

"At that time, you were pretending to be incompetent. I wasn't crazy."

"... maybe, what do you do?"

"I'll ask you again. Become my friend Red. You're a hero ... you're the same as me."

Albert lowered his sword and did something like reaching out to me.

The distance is about 15 steps. It is a distance where each other can close down and hit each other at once.

As we continue to talk to each other, there is a sense of searing tension between us.

"Red, I don't know why you're hiding yourself, but powerful people have an obligation to use that power. As I do with the protection of the champion, The blessing that dwells in it is not something that can be rotten in such a frontier. "

"It's not that big."

"Let's do it! Your power is real!"

Albert said aloud.

"Let's get a D rank! Become a hero who will be my friend and fight against the Demon King! Will you be a hero who will defeat me and save the Zoltan! 1 One in two!"

"A hero?"

"That's right! Heroes! Your choice will hold Zoltan's fate! Maybe the world's fate!

As she cried, Albert was smiling.

Finally, he has become what he wants. Even if it's selfish and intangible ...

"It's about time."

"What happened!?"

"Bad, Albert"

Countless footsteps approaching.

Albert's face is distorted by surprise.

"Oh, you ... why isn't this battle a duel between us heroes ..."

"I don't want to be a hero"

The final stage of the case is not here.

And the heroes are not us.

Recognizing the lack of victory, South Marsh inhabitants resisted until the end, trying to inform Zoltan of South Marsh's anger even if he lost, using his hatred of guards instigated by the Big Hawk. Was showing the attitude of continuing.

In fact, it is fueled by the minions the Big Hawk has sneaked into, and most of the crowd, as said, is worried about the weapons brought out of the Big Hawk's mansion. .

Moen was watching the situation.

"There are many over there, but there is no armor anyway, weapons."

Moen muttered.

Even though they are frightened, they glare at this, and the avant-garde of the crowd holding long spear.

Despite being in the front row, half of them do not wear armor.

"That's right, they're not soldiers, and this isn't the battlefield."

"... I see."

A subordinate told me, Moen responded with a slightly tired voice. They are not soldiers, they are just people.

Although he arrived in full armament, it was to lose opposition.

In fact, we see that it worked, but we haven't yet let them throw away their weapons.

I need something more.

"Captain!"

At that time, one guard ran out of breath.

"What happened?"

"Ademi Botchan!"

"What !? Did you find it?"

A little later, a dark-skinned young man came with two boys.

It's a view.

Moen, who has seen many Zoltan inhabitants, was an unknown man, but that is not the case now. The slight discomfort of the young man was immediately forgotten.

"Ademi!"

"Dad!"

The two embraced each other and were pleased with the reunion.

"Sorry Dad ... I ..."

"Okay, if you're safe. I'll apologize with you if you have to apologize, I'll pay you if you have to apologize. I don't have to apologize to me, I'm a parent and child "

"Dad ...!"

"I'm sorry for the reunion of my excitement."

Buuie cried, really sorry.

"Let's settle."

Moen and Ademi nodded with a slightly red face.

The Guard and the South Marsh inhabitants are facing each other.

Although there are obvious differences in armament and skill, there is a fenced Big Hawk mansion on the South Marsh side.

Perhaps I could win, I was able to make me think so.

"It's a little hideout situation."

A South Marsh man holding a spear blurred.

Unlike the back, the men in the front row, watching the guards' armor shining in the sunset, have noticed that they have long won.

Now I'm thinking of how to escape this place, but in a completely siege, other South Marsh inhabitants are just behind to surrender.

"I don't know what, I guess I was a fool who believed in pigs."

"No difference"

Despite that, the men wanted something.

Before this equilibrium breaks down and becomes an irreversible battle, a weapon that can throw away weapons.

"Everyone!"

The cry of the child resounded.

The avant-garde guards split into two and two boys walk.

Both of them seemed nervous, but their eyes were glowing.

"Isn't it al al !? And beside him is Ademi's bastard!"

The South Marsh side roared.

"fly"

Buui uses magic to give the two boys invisible magical wings in the sky.

They floated in the air and moved to a height that everyone could see.

"Everyone!"

Al shouts again.

"Al! What happened? Did you get caught by the guards?"

"No, I am here on my own initiative. So is Ademi."

"Yes, I am here for my own will."

The crowd was noisy, unable to understand the situation.

(Before coming here, I thought about what to talk about)

The role of Al and Ademi is to stop the fight that is going to take place here.

The two parties should be able to stop the fight. So Buwi told them.

(Speaking the truth? Apologize to Ademi? Shout out that everyone is being fooled by Big Hawk?)

Al puts the manuscript handed down by Buui just in case.

Al gets lost and reaches into his pocket and touches the manuscript ...

(Wrong)

Squashed and squashed.

He touches the shorttel handle on his waist.

Close your eyes for a moment ...

"Everyone"

Al spoke.

"Let's go, nothing has happened yet, no one here is hurt, so let's go."

"What?"

"I and Ademi are friends. I will play together tomorrow. So let's go home."

"Don't be stupid! Your family was killed by Ademi there!"

"No, that wasn't Ademi, it was an Ademi-like demon. If you continue to take that medicine, you'll end up being a demon that can hurt even your most important friends. Let's go "

Al said and took Ademi's hand.

After seeing them, Moen raises his right hand and sends a signal.

The guards move and make a return trip illuminated at dusk.

"... Al, can you forgive him?"

"Forgive me"

There was a click. The man in the front row abandoned the spear.

The man starts walking with a nervous look.

"Oh, hey."

"This fight is Al's revenge, well, I guess I shouldn't die. If Al forgives I have no reason to fight."

The man right behind reaches out to stop,

Karan, Karan, Karan Karan Karan ...

One after another, the sounds of throwing away weapons were heard, and people started walking toward their homes.

The battle is over.

That's a big factor, of course, because South Marsh residents themselves wanted to escape. If Red, Litt, and Moen did not set up from the beginning, this would not have happened.

But it is also true that Al and Ademi prevented the fight before they happened.

Al and Ademi side by side watching the residents of the South Marsh Ward return with anxiety, but relief, between the guards.

"Why, why!"

Albert shouted in a voice that seemed to tear his throat.

Open your bloodshot eyes and scrape your hair.

Alberts were surrounded by guards.

Despite the fact that there are nine intermediate demons, the stalker demon is an assassin, who is strong in his own favorable situation, but is not good at fighting in a situation where there are many opponents from the front like this.

in addition,

"It seems you've done a lot of licking in our town."

A tall man with his arms crossed over and standing down.

One of the oldest Zoltan adventurer parties, the adventurer's guild executive Garadin, is also there.

"this is……"

The contract demon in the form of a Big Hawk did not hide his disappointment.

Ask Red with a weak expression.

"Red, is this the way to go? The guards will be sacrificed? If you fight, you may not hurt anyone."

"I'm a D-rank adventurer, and it's just a drugstore ... it's not me, it's the role of a guard, they're training for that."

"Why ah!"

Albert screamed.

The guards surrounded by the force move backward by half a step.

"Albert"

"You have become a hero !? I was able to fight with Zoltan's fate here! Why why! I'm abandoned with such power!"

"... I don't have to be a hero, if I could do a little pharmacy with Ritt."

"I hate me! At least! At least as an enemy defeated by a hero! Give me a meaning to my life! I'm Albert of the Champion! I'm a filthy criminal captured by such guards How to end! "

"Yose Albert!"

The contract demon shouts, but Albert raises his sword and runs straight to me.

Albert struck down the magic sword, Vorpal Blade, at my neck.

I draw the copper sword and flash.

Callan!

There was a sound of a sword rolling on the ground. The evil sword was falling behind me.

Albert stares at his right hand, who has lost his magic sword from his wrist.

"Is it OK?"

“…………”

"I could have defeated me anytime ..."

Albert's bloodshot eyes overflowed with red tears.

"If you were worried about that, my conspiracy couldn't have been resolved quickly, so much ... probably not so much ..."

Albert was kneeling and covered his face with his left hand.

"Albert, a hero doesn't have to be strong."

"Is it going to be a sermon?"

"No, I can't do it ... Albert ... What are you? "

I really do.

I was evaluating Albert. There are many drawbacks. He has a bad personality. In the first place, ability is not enough.

But that's why he appreciates Albert, who struggles with lacking abilities, pulls unreliable companions, and strives to be worthy.

"For me, no matter how flawed, you were a Zoltan hero."

When I heard that, I didn't know what Albert thought. I don't have the skill to read my heart.

However, Albert was arrested by the guards without force and without any further drowning.
