Chapter 401: Making up Random Settings Can Lead To Trouble Later On.
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“….I’m exhausted.”“O-Okay. Good job, Hero.”
“Thank you, Tia-san.”
After spending two weeks completing all the paperwork, Schwarze, with eyes like a dead fish, mechanically nibbled on the sweet pastry offered by Tia. Although I couldn’t help but sympathize with his state, this was a necessary sacrifice.
“Well… at least the troublesome lord is gone, and peace has been restored to this land.”
“…Yes, indeed. It would have taken much longer with my methods.”
Schwarze’s gaze shifted slightly in response to my words. In reality, in the first loop, it wouldn’t have just taken longer—it wouldn’t have been resolved at all.
Despite being protected by the law, being too careless would lead to inevitable capture. The meticulous hiding of evidence of corruption over generations was naturally thorough, and a mere two months of investigation by an outsider like me couldn’t have grasped its tail.
Schwarze, torn between his duty to defeat the Demon King and the need to address this issue, left Eden with a sense of regret and despair. Knowing how that ended, I decided to act forcefully from the start.
“There are still many people in the world who need help, right? The Demon King is still out there, so resolving the situation quickly is a good thing, isn’t it?”
“Tia-san… yes, you’re right. Indeed.”
“Then hurry up and get ready, Hero! I’ll support you greatly this time, so designate our next destination!”
“Ha, then hurry up and decide our next destination, Hero! I’ll support you greatly again, so choose where we’re heading!”
“Grr, you…!? Fine then, let’s have you make a great contribution. Kukuku…”
“Whoa, Schwarze is laughing with a face like Ed’s!?”
“Huh…?”
And so, we continued our journey to the next, and then the next destination. We argued over who would excel in treasure hunting in the stinky and filthy Great Rotting Sea, and dealt with the conflict between the kind-hearted orcs who spoke and the evil humans who exploited them in a farce between the Hero and the Demon King. We went to places we couldn’t reach in the first loop and solved problems that couldn’t be solved in the first loop… And so, after two years, we finally arrived at the end of our journey.
“So this is the Demon King’s castle…”
“Hmm, it’s… incredibly cliché, isn’t it?”
“Yeah. Why do Demon King’s castles always end up looking so similar?”
Standing before us was a castle that was excessively black and had sharp edges all over. With Schwarze, who was nervous in front of it, beside me, Tia and I exchanged such casual conversation.
“…Leaving aside the Demon King, Tia-san, you are not nervous too?”
“Well, I was nervous the first time, but I’m used to it now. So… how many times is this now?”
“Oh, right… if we’re talking about storming the Demon King’s castle, isn’t this the fourth time for you, Tia?”
“F-fourth time… so does that mean Tia-san has defeated the Demon King four times?”
“Huh? Well, if you’re counting the number of times I’ve defeated them, it’s much more. You see, sometimes they attack us, and besides, their base isn’t always a castle.”
“Yeah. For Demon Kings that lack high intelligence, they might be in caves or even on the sea.”
“……It might be too late to ask, but are you two really slaughtering countless Demon Kings?”
“Hehehe, of course! After all, I am the Great Demon King!”
Giving Schwarze a mixture of admiration and incredulity, I declared proudly. I’m a professional in Demon King extermination, you know! Well, I’m just collecting fragments of my own power.
“Well then, let’s go in right away. Listen, foolish Demon King! The Great Demon King End has come to bring your demise!”
“Hahaha, as straightforward as ever, I see.”
“Of course! A great Demon King challenging another Demon King would never sneak in through the back door!”
“Alright, this time I’ll rampage too!”
At my loud call, enemies started pouring out of the Demon King’s castle. There were fearsome ogres with bright red faces, beastmen with impressive horns on their goat-like heads, and a child-like figure riding on a giant crocodile-like demon… Oh, is that!?
“Hey, look Tia! That! Isn’t that a Dark Elf!?”
“Oh, wow, that’s the real deal. Definitely different from Dusk Elves.”
Among them was a figure who seemed to be a Dark Elf, whom I had only heard of by name. With skin as black as coal and shining red eyes, they might be called elves because of their pointed ears, but it’s unlikely anyone would mistake them for regular elves.
“…? Weren’t you born from Dark Elf parents, Tia-san?”
“Huh!? Um, well… you see, I’m white, right? So my parents were always conscious of me and painted their bodies white… Geez, Ed, you’re such an idiot!”
“Ugh!? Why are you kicking me!?”
“Everything is Ed’s fault!”
“Yes, everything is the Demon King’s fault.”
“Huh? What kind of unfairness is that…”
As Tia kicked me and Schwarze nodded in satisfaction, I was the only one who looked sour. Well, if I’m told that it’s because I came up with a troublesome setting, then it’s true and there’s nothing I can do about it… Grr.
“…Well, never mind. Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
“Cooperating with a Demon King to defeat a Demon King is the last thing I want to do… but fine. Because I’m the Hero!”
With our respective reasons and aspirations in our hearts, we headed towards the enemy’s large army. However, if I could fight without any constraints, then any enemy would be nothing more than trash to me.
“Hahaha! Feel the wrath of the Great Demon King’s blow!”
Amidst the enemy ranks, I swung my sword while nullifying all attacks with [Invincible] and [Magiasorb] laughing. If I were to use the [Power of the End], it would end the battle instantly, but that would decrease the total amount of souls circulating in the world, ultimately bringing the world closer to its end, so I stick to normal attacks.
But even so, the outcome doesn’t change much. Absorbing all the enemy’s power with [Orbital Reflector] and bouncing it back while swinging my sword meant that even enemies who were clearly out of reach of the blade were cut in half.
Furthermore, it’s not just me who is overwhelming the enemy. Tia and Schwarze are also pushing back the enemy’s large army.
“In the name of Lunaritia, manifest, [Stormbringer]!”
The unleashed tornado mowed down the enemy forces surrounding us. I was within its range, but of course, I was unaffected.
“It’s so convenient to be able to use large-scale attack magic without worrying about allies.”
“Hahaha, just do it without worrying, Tia!”
“Of course! Come on, blow them away together with Ed!”
“…No, I’m not getting blown away.”
“Come on, Demon King’s army! Let this Hero Schwarze cut you all down!”
Beside the cheerful Tia, Schwarze overwhelmed the Demon King’s army with a sword imbued with light. Just like in this world, there was a weapon that seemed like a “holy sword,” so I made sure to collect it properly.
His power was immense, and after going through the forced battle with me, Schwarze was undoubtedly the strongest resident in this world. Although it’s impossible for him to defeat this large army alone, with me and Tia, we can definitely fight through it.
Three against thousands. From the sky to the ground, while smoothly eliminating the enemies attacking from all directions, we advanced towards the Demon King’s castle with ease.
