Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

Along with that, there was a loud cheer.

More than a hundred white pigeons split into two hands and ran around the clear sky.

Eventually, the cheer disappears and the exclamation shakes the air faintly.

"A symbol of peace...?" Isn't that a good hobby, Midea! "

With a smile of joy, Zadiak called out to Olympus' Prime Minister, Midea, who was standing by.

However, she gave a strange expression and tilted her neck.

"No... it's not our plan." I thought it was probably the people's idea..... "

"I see! Well, that's fine!" Oh, you're already here... so early. Lord, do you want to circle around again?! "

"Heh, Your Majesty...!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Are you kidding me?!"

"It doesn't sound like a joke," said Lord, sighing in cold sweat.

At the same time, I looked around.

I couldn't see the light of evil life, and now I breathed deeply.

When and from where.

The spirit of Lord was less abrasive than he was when he was being targeted.

With such anxiety, the carriage finally entered the venue set up in the central square with a light footsteps.

―――――――――――――――――――――

Well then! We're going to hold a new SS Rank Adventurer's Worship Ceremony!

The voice of Midea, enlarged by the magic stone, resounded, and a great cheer rose from the pressing people, who did not know how many times it would be today.

On the vertical podium specially set in the central square, seven adventurers of SSS rank lined up opposite each other to create one road, and at the end of that road, the Olympus king who entrusted his back to the four knights...... Zadiak stood.

In Zadiac's sight, there were seven SSS rank adventurers and a crowd that could no longer be counted.

And--

Come on, new hero... Lord = Irvine! Heeeeeee!

It was exactly the scene of the birth of a new hero.

And he went up from among the people, and from among the people, and from among the world; and he became a man of the world.

By the time he had ascended to the podium, even Zadiak was so pure and full of life that he gave a compliment in his heart that he deserved to be loved.

Tasting [Katsu]...... no, he stood on the same level as the adventurers who were still longing for [Gotai].

He slowly turned back, quietly bowing his head and facing forward again, in a cheer like the sound of the ground hitting his back.

His footsteps were supple, without trembling or cowardice, and dignified.

……

At that moment, for a brief moment, his steps were dull.

Only the powerful people on the stage could feel it, and the boiling people just kept sending cheers without even realizing it.

"Phew..."

A slight exhalation that could not even be heard by herself, but was annihilated by the cheering.

He pushed his leg forward, and he continued on.

What led him astray?

The answer was a man standing in front of Bern.

Hero... it was in Roy.

……

It is not that my eyes are in contact with each other.

Roy tends to fall on his knees and just stands there.

He didn't think of Asuna and was shivering with anger.

Even if that emotion is true, it is now trapped in my heart.

I couldn't see it from Roy.

In Lord's eyes... the rays of life that are supposed to be on display.

All the other SS rank adventurers were filled with great vitality.

That's the same for the Knights Commander, who protects Zadiak's back.

But Roy doesn't have it.

It's not small, it's not small at all.

Instead, Roy appeared on the road... just black and fierce.

Soon Lord ran across Roy's front door.

As you feel the unpleasant sweat flowing down your spine.

Still, staring in the front, Lord reached in front of Zadiak.

Silence!

Olympus calms down with the cries of Midea.

After a bow, she sent her gaze to Zadiak.

The king of Olympus nodded slightly and opened his mouth, staring into Lord's eyes.

Well done... well done, you've reached this peak. You have accomplished exactly one thing. Of course, you still have nothing to say... yes, you will answer. But you're a hero!

Zadiak spread his hands.

Then, I lifted my clenched right fist toward the sky.

You are the light! Like the sun shining in the sky! We feel the warmth in you... and because of your presence! You can welcome the day with hope!! Exactly the chosen one... the envy! Awesome! Awesome! Please don't let me get in the way and be proud... yes, I want you to capture it. ”

In response to Zadiak's words, Lord forgot about Roy for a moment and his soul trembled.

The words now are Zadiak's lies and his untrue thoughts.

And it was the thoughts of the people toward the mighty.

Humility is a virtue.

However, acceptance is also a virtue.

Accepts and responds to the other person's thoughts.

There is no injustice there.

Hero... forward

Zadiak had a sword in his hand.

A golden sheath strewn with gems in a silver pattern.

It is a ceremonial sword that only SSS-ranked adventurers are allowed to have.

It was a sign of the peak.

In order to receive the sword [Sword] offered sideways, the Lord took a step forward again.

Then, he pushed one knee ─ ─

―――――――――――――――――――――

A few minutes before Lord stood in front of Zadiak...

"...... Ah, here we go."

A man looking at the city of Olympus through a telescope calls out to a man lying behind him.

"I've done it... it's been a long time." long, long... "

The man stood up while stretching his back and stood next to the man with the telescope, chirping the bones of his neck and waist.

From here on out, I'll be there in no time.

"Well. Ahh, you just cut the leaves here a little bit, right?" I'm going to get in the way. "

"Yes, yes."

They are on a tree growing on top of a mountain a few kilometers from Olympus.

It was located on the main street of Olympus, and there was an unobstructed view of the ceremony.

What's going on here?

"Nh, that's really good. It's just a straight line... no, you're a genius after all."

Instead of a grinning man, the other man puts down a telescope and refines its magic power.

"Please get ready... boss"

The man who was called the boss laughed and lifted his long black hair and tied it up with a string.

And--

"Wow, Hyodora-kun. Now it's time for a fun and enjoyable show......"

She laughed happily.
