[Specified Hero Heroes]
Part 1
On the day the six light pillars pierced through the skies of Strahl region, a brigade of about 7000 personnel marched towards Galwark kingdom using the highway in Bertram kingdom territory.
One pillar of light rose towards heaven in one corner of the group.
The 2nd princess of Bertram kingdom, Flora Bertram, stood in front of her with a dumbfounded expression.
The entire army was also shocked by the sudden appearance of the light pillar, and looked at it with a dumbfounded expression. [ED: Comment below; who would have thought one of the summoned heroes would be Rio's childhood friend?] [TL: Not me]
A pillar of light rose from the brave stone that was in Flora's custody; it suddenly moved itself into the empty space around it and then suddenly released a beam of light that pierced through the sky.
「Eh, Wha, What is this? What is this place? 」
When the light of the pillar stopped, in the middle of the place, a black-haired youth appeared in the sacred stone place.
It seemed that he was also confused and unable to understand the situation, and looked at his surroundings uneasily.
Her appearance was ordinary, it seemed like she was also untrained, or perhaps because she had a little bit of a baby face; her age was hard to judge with just a glance.
「…… !!!」
Looking at that black hair, Flora recalled the existence of a boy. [TL: The name starts with "R" and ends with "O"]
The boy with a neat face, black hair, and brownish-yellow pupils.
The boy who had an abnormal calmness from looking far into the future, along with his polite manner of speaking, was not something he expected from a slum child.
As Flora recalled it, she somehow looked sad.
But, the boy standing in front of him was not that black-haired boy.
Flora closed her eyes, took a small breath, and shook her head slightly.
"This is ………. Impossible, the legendary ........ Hero? 」
Meanwhile, Duke Euguno, who was standing beside Flora, muttered with a dumbfounded face.
To the masses, the hero is nothing more than a simple fairy tale.
Detailed knowledge of that history, royalty, and legend, was transmitted within the circle of the nobles behind the scenes.
Duke Euguno who was also aware of the legend must have thought of the events that happened, along with the legend.
The subject is about the person who appears in the place of the sacred stones, called the Hero.
「H-Hero ..... same? 」
The guard standing next to Flora asked in a dumbfounded tone.
Flora also knew about the legend from her father.
A man will appear in exchange for a sacred stone that disappears.
Wasn't the event that happened before him definitely an event that was passed down in legends.
With such a thought, Flora broke the ice, as if firmly in something.
「U-Uhm, could it be ......... you hero-sama?」
Hearing the question, the young man looked at Flora's face with a blank expression.
"Hero? You mean what? 」
Although the young man was staring with a dumbfounded expression, it seemed like he understood something when he looked around him.
「Aah, can you give me an explanation first? 」
The young man asked while looking at the people around him, who were looking at him.
After a brief silence that descended on the place, the nobles surrounding Flora, like her bodyguards, suddenly returned to their senses and frowned.
「How can you say such disrespectful words to the noble Flora ……. 」
One of the nobles, Alphonse Rodan, muttered in a small voice.
"Hero? Really? 」
Stead Euguno, who was standing by his side, also muttered those words while looking at the young man, as if feeling that it was unbelievable.
「Let me explain slowly. My name is Flora Bertram, 2nd princess of Bertram kingdom 」
As the surroundings began to calm from the shock of the sudden event, with the surrounding nobles starting to whisper in low voices, Flora began by introducing herself.
"A princess? It's just outside the template with well-used Japanese, right? 」
Flora trembled due to the way she spoke, which was a little shocking.
「Uhhm, can I hear the name hero-sama?」
「Hero, you said ……. I'm Sakata Hiroaki 」
To Flora, who timidly asked for his name, the young man spoke his name without feeling confused.
「Sakata Hiroaki, true」
「Ya, and just in case, Sakata is my surname, and Hiroaki is the name given to me. My age 19 years 」
「You have a surname, could it be that Hiroaki-sama is a noble?」
First of all, although it was still unknown if he was human, Hiroaki, when viewed from an outsider's point of view, could not be seen as other than human.
「Having a surname also means you're a noble; it's very template, right. In Japan ……. Where I live, everyone has the surname 」
「There really is such a kingdom?」
Flora muttered as if admiring Hiroaki's explanation.
After the first exchange, he felt relieved, because it seemed like he was not a bad person. [ED: Something that can be easily judged from the introduction. I heard the court even used the preface as a way to determine guilt.]
"Well……"
When he saw her face, with a gentle smile on her face, Hiroaki blushed, as if fascinated by Flora's appearance.
She did not have the guts to continue staring at him, so she looked around uneasily and could not decide whether to see Flora's face.
「Uhhmm. By the way, may I ask if you have heard the name of a country like China, America, Japan, Germany, or Great Brittain? 」
'I must regain my stride', after considering that, Hiroaki asked that question.
「Uhm …………. Unfortunately not"
After serious consideration, he completely did not understand Hiroaki's question, as Flora had never heard the names of those countries.
"As I thought. Then, why did you call me in this place? 」
There was no need to change her tone, even if she knew Flora was a princess, at that late hour, Hiroaki asked questions in succession to confirm her current situation.
「Ah, No, I am not the one who called you, holy stone …… ..That, Brave Stone, which calls hero-sama」
Section 2
「Holy rock? Brave rock? What the fuck? 」
At the beginning of the question, Flora explained the summary of the heroes and the six wise gods to Hiroaki.
"That's it. Is there anything else you still want to know? 」
Flora asked Hiroaki after she finished with her explanation to Hiroaki.
「Yes, this is too many templates so I can easily understand. But can I ask you one more question? That okay? 」
「Yes, what do you want to ask? 」
Although Flora pondered the meaning of the word "Template*" which Hiroaki had been constantly saying since a while ago, she straightened her posture to that question. [TL*: You know, summoned to a different world, become a hero, defeat the demon king, bring peace to the world, blablablablablablabla]
「Is there a way for me to return to my original [world] place?
「EH? Way to go back? Uhm, that's …… .. 」
Flora fell silent at the unexpected question.
To him, a hero is a savior-like creature, sent by the six wise gods to save mankind.
He had never thought of something like "Where did they come from?", He had never thought of anything except the fact that they had come from somewhere vaguely like a god.
First, maybe that person didn't come to save them.
Flora's confused.
「Uhm, in the first place, where is the direction where the hero-sama came from? 」
「I came from a country called Japan in the world called bumi」
「That's the name of the place from where the six wise gods came to this place, right? 」
「A ~ h, it seems like our conversation is not well connected, I have never heard of the so-called six wise gods, let alone seen them」
「It .....」
Flora's confusion continued to strengthen.
Is Hiroaki really a hero?
No, since he appeared instead of a holy stone, he was undoubtedly a hero.
「Uhhmm ....」.
Flora averted her eyes because she could not see Hiroaki's eyes staring at her.
For Hiroaki, that was the answer he needed.
「Oioi, there is no way you call me if there is no way to go back?」
When she said that, as if mocking him, when Flora decided to give the same answer as before, Hiroaki continued the conversation.
「Isn't this just a kidnapping? Although I don't know what kind of punishment will be given with the laws of this world, it is still a criminal act, right? 」
For some reason his tone became more lively.
Although it was the first time he raised dissatisfaction regarding his condition, his face, which if saying that the situation had become more interesting, could not help but smile.
「Ah, U ~ hm ………. 」
Flora could only flutter, perhaps her gentle nature was no match for such a negotiation.
Flora also did not understand.
The sacred stone had just summoned Hiroaki at his own convenience, so it was an extreme mistake that actually called it kidnapping.
Because Hiroaki suddenly appeared in front of them.
「Yare yare, this one is also problematic with it, you know」
As the temptation intensified, Hiroaki's stomach grew sour.
When she showed a smile, as if satisfied with the temptation of —–.
「You , haven't you been acting too impolite since a while ago? Besides, are you really a hero !? 」
Stead, who could no longer bear Hiroaki's attitude, interrupted.
「Oioi, I just got kidnapped and summoned to this place, you know? I never even once gave my approval to be that hero. Look, I'M THE VICTIM. Isn't that obvious to you? 」
He sighed slightly towards that Stead, and then emphasized the fact that HE WAS A VICTIM.
"What?"
Against that attitude, Stead looked at Hiroaki without hiding his pouting expression.
Even the surrounding nobles did not have a good impression of Hiroaki.
The atmosphere around him became tense.
「Flora-sama, will you let this demean me saying a few words?」
And then, Duke Euguno, who was secretly staring at Hiroaki, as if judging him until then, finally spoke.
Suddenly, the line of sight of the surrounding people, including Hiroaki, turned to duke Euguno, who had just spoken.
"Yes. Whatisit? 」
The tense atmosphere relaxed slightly, as Flora asked the duke of Euguno.
「I suspect that there is a very high possibility that this place will be found by the pursuing forces sent by Duke Albot, because of the light from some time ago. Let's continue the conversation now in the coach, we must quickly move our squad 」
Duke Euguno said that in a calm tone.
「Understood. We'll be leaving soon. I'm sorry hero-sama, we're running out of time, now. Will you be with us for now? 」
Flora asked Hiroaki, as if she was in a hurry.
「Hnn, oh whatever. There is also something else I want to hear 」
Hiroaki gave an instant reply, without wasting any time.
Even if they suddenly left that place for a while, Hiroaki had nowhere to go, and suffered from a fatal lack of information.
He had no choice but to follow them.
Nevertheless, he stopped with the provocative attitude he had shown so far, as it would be a loss and it would be completely impossible to go alone *. [TLC 、 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇
It was his intention to see how the other party responded to his provocation.
Following Flora like that, Hiroaki boarded the coach along with duke Euguno.
「Roana-kun, please continue with us also」
"Yes. Recognized 」
Summoned by the duke of Euguno, nearby Roana, who was the daughter of the duke of Fontine, also took the coach.
And then, within the high-quality coach [based on that world], gathered four, consisting of Flora, Hiroaki, duke of Euguno, and Roana.
Section 3
Inside the coach was spacious, there was still empty space, even with the four of them.
But, it was a difficult journey for Hiroaki, as he wore a bored expression while holding back his hips.
「Currently, there is a coup in our kingdom」
After everyone was done with a simple introduction, Duke Euguno explained the truth to Hiroaki on Flora's orders.
Just a few days earlier, a coup had taken place in Bertram kingdom.
The leader was Helmut Albo, a man who was previously the leader of the imperial guard knights, who was beaten in a political dispute by the duke of Euguno eight years earlier. [TL: please read ACT 1: Rev. for more information]
The beginning of it was a massive invasion of a hostile country, the kingdom of Proxia, and the kingdom of Bertram receiving a lot of damage while losing an important base of the kingdom.
Subordinates of military factions and nobles, along with duke Albo, held on to the hard line to oppose the Proxia empire.
They thoroughly denounced Phillip III, who was supported by duke Euguno as the head of the moderate faction.
Although dukes Euguno and Phillip III would control the harsh dissatisfaction with the negotiations, Helmut made arrangements, behind the scenes, to increase dissatisfaction with the military force.
At that moment, the nobles of the duke Euguno faction left behind their close noble aides who were unable to abandon their duties, most of them surrendering to Helmut.
In order to capture the nobles who were managing the moderate faction, Helmut used arrogant power to clear them.
Although Helmut lost his influence in the imperial guard's chivalric order, being deposed by the duke Euguno. As for his military strength, he managed to gain an unshakable position, after months and years, by using his son as his puppet.
The main nobles of the moderate faction were imprisoned, leaving one part of it and duke Euguno. Among them is duke Fontine, Roana's father.
In short, Duke Albo, who used violence to call it cleanup, also used house arrest on royalties using the wrong government as his reason.
As a result, King Phillip III, Queen Beatrix, and first princess Christina were under house arrest in the royal capital.
Duke Eugune, who quickly sensed the purge of the chief nobles of the moderate faction, formed a restoration army to protect himself.
He managed to save 2nd Princess Flora, who went to the same academy as Stead, duke Euguno decided to become a supporting leader for her and sought asylum in Galwark kingdom.
Although Flora never thought that she had the power to get people to gather around her, due to the persuasion of duke Euguno, the nobles, and the ships that agreed to her, it was the, he decided to take a stand for his kingdom.
「H ~ n, are you and princess Flora in some sort of earth-shattering situation then?」
Hearing duke Euguno's explanation, Hiroaki, who was not wearing any clothes at the time, commented about Flora and her faction, it was right on target.
It was true, the fact that Flora and her faction were driven to fight with the wall behind them was as clear as day.
With King Phillip III taken prisoner, it is as if they were saying that the rebels were dukes of Euguno *. [TL*: Rio karma]
Moreover, gaining victory by going from the front was almost impossible, because, with just the number of soldiers, the opposite side had more than 20 times the war potential for openly recruiting to its limit, he said, while their side could not increase their number.number more than they already had.
Hoping for an opportunity for a reversal, duke Euguno was exiling to Galwark kingdom but, inevitably they were in a very tight situation, even with that.
「No, not that, we have a chance for a reversal because we have hero-sama, Hiroaki-sama!」
Flora denied their dire situation by saying that.
Hiroaki, who was summoned by the holy stone, came to that place [the world] as a legendary hero.
Although the credibility of the stories surrounding the sacred stone is unknown from the beginning, the value of the sacred stone itself is remarkable as a symbol to indicate "Strength".
Legitimate power had to be more trusted with Flora alone, who was royalty, so duke Euguno, stubbornly, forcefully took one of the two sacred stones owned by the kingdom *. [TLC *: , ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 。]
If Hiroaki had the same battle skills as the legendary hero in the legends, the restoration would gain great power, war potential, and authority
「Hiroaki-sama, please extend our hands to us!」
Flora bowed, as if saying that Hiroaki was their last hope.
Even the dukes of Euguno and Roana, who were secretly listening to the talk from the side, bowed to him.
「I said some time ago that I was just a victim, forcefully summoned to this place. I don't know what a hero is. I also have no reason to risk my life in battle. Moreover, I don't think I currently have that kind of battle power 」
Hiroaki insisted with his opinion, without feeling ashamed of their plea.
Flora's expression turned to despair, Roana's expression turned sour.
Only duke Euguno looked at Hiroaki with an expressionless face.
「Hero-sama, legend has it that the hero has an armament called heavenly garb and a large amount of magical power *. With that incredible power, you can knock down a demon army with just a single swing of your sword. And then, if Hiroaki-sama is a hero, you should have the same kind of power 」[TL *: There is a difference when Rio and Seirei no tami refer magic power with when others [Example: Seria] refer to magic power. In Rio's case they use Odo [internal mana] for magical power]
Duke Euguno explained about the strength of the hero given to Hiroaki with a friendly smile on his face.
「Heavenly clothes, yes. Although I at least did not do such a thing with me, right, assuming that I did have it, I have no reason to fight for you. That complicated internal dispute is your problem, isn't it? So I rejected 」[TL: GJ, Hiroaki] [ED: Rejecting is the right call, but I still think he douche] [PF: better than some other heroes] [TL: The so-called hero" Empress was "much better than Hiroaki or any other hero]
Hiroaki resolutely refused while staring at duke Euguno with a wary look.
「P ............ Please save us! Because you're not just our hero!」
「Please, I also hope you save us. We need the power of Hiroaki-sama! 」
While saying that, the faces of Flora and Roana were basically making desperate pleas.
Hiroaki smiled wryly, as if being bullied by the two girls.
「Well, even if it's true, many of you will make me fight, right? 」
Hiroaki said those words in a disdainful tone.
「I must kill a human being if I am going to war. Murder is a serious crime in my country. Even if the person is innocent, or whatever the conditions, someone who has killed a human must uproot the stigma of the killer 」[TL: If you don't kill a human in war, what do you kill? A horse?] [ED: Yes, in that world there are demons and Seirei no Tami, right?]
As Hiroaki continued to speak, his eyes looked at Roana and Flora with eyes of disdain.
「Regarding the problem I heard from you before, the so-called hero is an existence that exists for the sake of defeating demons, right. It's a completely different matter if it's about defeating a demon or demon lord, wouldn't it be strange if I used my power to kill humans? 」
Hiroaki was angry and spoke only at critical moments.
「I have no intention to kill a human! Or rather, I have no intention of saving you guys by putting myself in danger by killing people!」
That was clearly said by Hiroaki.
Long silence down at the coach.
「Ahahaha, as expected of Hero-sama. Such beautiful motifs 」
And then, duke Euguno uttered those words with a bitter expression.
Hiroaki twitched and looked at duke Euguno carefully.
「I agree with hero-sama. Even we want to avoid cases where the battlefield turns into a dire situation. So naturally we would not push such a person into such a situation. 」
Duke Euguno said those words and took a deep breath in silence.
Section 4
「But, because this is a struggle in dire need. Duke Albo has colluded with the enemies of the kingdom behind the scenes, besides that he will deal with humans with many crimes with superficial requests *. We cannot leave that person on his own device 」[TLC *: 。。。
Duke Euguno was overwhelmed by the imposing aura of someone with long military service, Hiroaki's eyes opened wide when he heard that.
「The family of Princess Flora is also under house arrest in the royal capital, and I am not sure about the safety of the Roana-kun family in their prison theyir
After Taking a deep breath, duke Euguno looked at the horizon outside the window that was starting to darken.
「Duke Albo is a cruel and cunning man. Our strength is already far behind him, if it continues like this, waiting for us is the future branded as a rebel 」[TL: You guys talk]
Duke Euguno continued his story, as if trying to shake up Hiroaki's argument.
「I want to protect him from his evil hands」
While saying that, duke Euguno looked at Flora and Roana with the expression of a father trying to protect his children. [TL: Be careful Hiroaki-kun, this is a trap]
「But I am powerless. Although I have wisdom with due to my age, I do not have the strength to use it 」
Duke Euguno said that while sighing with a bitter expression.
「That's not true, duke Euguno has done his best!」
「It's true! If not for duke Euguno, I don't even know what would have happened to me ri........」.
Flora and Roana looked hurriedly, saying it was to defeat Euguno with a shy face.
Both were indebted after being rescued by duke Euguno.
Although what they said made the duke of Euguno gain more merit, they failed to notice that point at the time.
No, even if they paid attention to it, they would ignore it, because they had a debt of gratitude to Euguno.
「Of course, Roana-kun might be sold to a noble with strange tastes ………. 」[TL: Uh, aren't you one of them?]
Hiroaki's face grimaced, as the words were strangely clear in his mind.
He accidentally imagined the beautiful girl to be a toy from an unknown rotten bag that knew where; it really pissed him off.
At that moment, Hiroaki felt a faint anger towards the duke of Albo, who was not there at the time.
「Even I am aware that it is wrong to repeatedly ask hero-dono, who has no relationship with us. Although I feel ashamed by asking you to help us. Please, will you save us? 」
Duke Euguno lowered his head and looked dejected as he said that.
「War is not the only way to kill someone. Hero-sama cannot fight for yourself. If hero-sama joins us, we can reduce the number of casualties in the future! 」
His passionate tone seemed to be filled with confidence towards Hiroaki.
At that moment, something that was in Hiroaki's heart as a man, was deeply shaken.
「Please let me think for a while ……. Although I understand your situation, I have not been able and have not prepared myself 」
Hiroaki replied with a strong fist and furrowed brows.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
「Dad! I still can't believe that guy is really a hero! 」
That night, inside the tent prepared for duke Euguno, Stead asked as if he hated Hiroaki.
Now there was no need to fear that someone would hear their conversation, since Hiroaki was having dinner with Flora and Roana.
「That guy is a hero. There's no doubt about that"
Even after he was summoned and boarded the coach, a group of grievances were gathered towards Hiroaki, centered around the young nobles.
Because many of them were members of organizations that called themselves Flora's bodyguards.
With Stead as the head, and followed by Alphonse.
「How can you be sure about that !?」
「Because the man appeared instead of the sacred stone that disappeared. That's all the proof we need right ........ 」....
Duke Euguno indirectly said [You don't even know something as simple as that].
Losing that power, first feeling lifeless, then jerking.
「In addition, we measure the amount of magic power that humans have with a new type of measuring stone developed by Seria Claire that you love so much. The results are impossible to measure. Our magic power cannot even be compared to his [TL: Seria is mine, or Rio's] [ED: It doesn't belong to Rio; see the complaint of the regular letter.] [TL: Ah you're right]
And duke Euguno spoke with an unusual carefree tone.
「A-....」
According to Seria Claire's additional declaration, the new type of measurement stone will not reveal "Impossible to measure" unless 100 royal court witches touch it at the same time.
Although the old model of the measuring stone could do nothing but measure the minimum amount of magical power, which was the level of requirement required to use magic, the new model of measuring stone was discovered by Seria, who was the first to use magic, with the respect and affection of Stead, it can roughly measure and estimate a certain amount of magical power. [TL: It's unclear how I should pronounce this]
Stead was shocked because he blindly believed that the girl's masterpiece would never fail to function.
「Although he is amazingly not shy and smart, in the end he is still too young. I could roughly understand his personality with that conversation. That's also not a 」 problem
Stead gasped in awe as he was overwhelmed by his father's statement, as if he could see it all.
「You must be on guard so that the young nobles of your generation do not let their discontent appear on their faces」
Duke Euguno added those words when he discovered that Stead had not said anything else.
「Understanding ………. 」
After answering with his head facing down, Stead stood up and left the tent.
When he looked back, who behaved like a spoiled child, duke Euguno summoned his close aide.
「Do you have some orders for me?」
A man who immediately appeared asked politely.
「Find a woman devoted to the art of making love, and start by indirectly inciting the hero. Do it indirectly until the end. If not possible with words, we will do it with the woman 」
Duke Euguno gave instructions to the man with a sneer on his face.
The female body can also be called a weapon.
He could manipulate most men with just that.
Some time ago, Hiroaki stole the view many times in the direction of the beautiful Roana and Flora.
Although the person himself was not aware of it, when looking from the side, he knew that seeing them many times was unnatural.
Section 5
Even though he was having a monkey show, his views betrayed him.
Although such ideals are foolish in the relationship between men and women, the type that directly bites the dish before them is just easier to lead *. [TLC。。
Or entrap a woman to have a bodily relationship with, if she does not have the courage to make the first move.
That is the analysis of duke Euguno.
「Is it really okay? Are there any women with suitable social position, calculating that the other party is a hero?」
The man precisely judged the woman needed by duke Euguno with those words, when his subordinate asked in a calm tone, he registered the candidate from his memory.
His job is to check the operation.
He revised his plan with conflicting advice and opinions, in the most appropriate direction. [TL: It's like comparing who's the best model or idol]
Especially those who have no resistance to seduction against heroes.
「No need to suddenly present the products with the best quality. I need them to do a different role. Currently the first candidate to become our pawn is, DIA 」
A person with a balanced social position towards a hero was a royal family, or at least a high-ranking noble, and someone who was currently with a restoration army who could be a candidate was Flora, who was the only person who could be a candidate, and after that was none other than a few noble daughters.
But, the girls born from the privileged class were unskilled in bed, it was only natural that they were virgins; they failed in the ual technique of the women who received special training for it.
There is quite a lot of availability to utilize such [experienced] women for other uses.
There was no need for them to specifically come and warm the hero's bed.
In addition, he has several suitable candidates if they embark on a plan to use the power of female seduction.
That point is the problem, whether it fits or not.
"By pleasure"
After which, with a respectful bow, the man stood up and left the tent.
「Fuhn, the rebels will surely realize this. Albo problem will ……. 」
After being left alone, duke Euguno spat provocation
To him, Hiroaki was definitely an unexpected fortune.
In that case, he has a chance to become a winner.
But, he was impatient.
Duke Euguno continued squeezing future plans inside his head.
☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★
The next day, the air around Hiroaki had changed compared to the previous day.
He smiled with a confident masculine face.
「Yes, I feel that somehow the revolutionary forces are moving in this way ――」
Hiroaki spoke in a proud tone while looking at the map spread inside the coach.
「If I were that duke Albo, I wouldn't stop the chase until I reached this point. The profit of the numbers has no effect on the abyss. Because they need to keep their vigilance in case they receive a violent counterattack waiting for them 」
And then give assurance, full of confidence.
"Great. As expected of the hero. To have such wisdom. Even came to share his insights in strategy .... 」.
Duke Euguno praised Hiroaki, as if flattering him.
Even though he was smiling on the surface, his eyes were not smiling at all.
Hiroaki was pleased with that, as he originally did not have deep insight, and did not have enough experience in life to notice that subtlety.
「It's really reliable. Did Hiroaki-sama learn the strategy? 」
Even Roana praised him while asking that question.
「No, I am just an otaku or should I say, A GAMER. I only know a lot of things because I actually experienced them. If there is something I want to know, I just have to look it up on the internet 」[TL: – .... .-].
Perhaps due to the confidence in his own knowledge, Hiroaki's humble attitude was not bad at all.
Although Roana did not know the meaning of words like games, Otaku, or the internet, she judged that Hiroaki was an avid student. [TL: in ACT 1, Roana is the class representative]
「Uhm, Hiroaki-sama. Do you accept to help us by giving advice like this? 」
Flora asked as she looked at Hiroaki with a look of hope.
His change of attitude in that way was an excellent development for him.
「…… ..We need to act together for now. But, I'll leave once you make a mistake in your progress in the future 」
And, Hiroaki replied with a stern tone.
Hiroaki doesn't know.
By the time he decided to act with them, he was carrying the lives of a large number of people on his shoulders.
For the hero, to stay afloat is nothing but to stay afloat, how irresponsible it is when a quarrel takes place in the middle of the road *. [TLC 、 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 。]
「We will follow the faith of hero-sama」
Duke Euguno said that while bowing his head.
Mouth chuckles.
「I'll put faith in your words. Salute Respect."
Hiroaki addressed Euguno with a serious expression.
To Hiroaki, who was prejudiced that all nobles were the same rotten people, the courtesy of duke Euguno was completely unexpected. [TL: No, you're right about your prejudices]
Moreover, Flora and Roana were right in the middle of the Hiroaki type.
He thought that maybe not all nobles were rotten. [TL: the one with you must be rotten]
「Ya, I want to cooperate with you from now on, Hero-dono」
Smiling lightly, duke Euguno handed his hand over to Hiroaki.
Hiroaki clasped that hand.
「Thank you very much, hero-sama! I swear that I will not lie about saving the people who followed me and the kingdom. I'm looking forward to working with you from now on 」
After which, Flora thanked him while clasping Hiroaki's hand.
Things might be good like that.
He could save the people and the nobles who followed him.
When the vision came to him, Flora smiled as she felt relieved.
"Ah. Fortunately my strength as a great hero. As long as it is not used in the wrong way, it can be a 」 barrier
Hiroaki was waiting for the time to mature before saying that in a fearful tone.
「Hero power?」
Flora asked in a confused tone.
The eyebrows of duke Euguno, who was standing next to Hiroaki, twitched and he looked at Hiroaki with interest.
「Yes, this is my heavenly dress **. Come on, Yamata no orochi *! 」[TL*: His name is really yamata no orochi di katakana, it's the name of eight tail-eight snakes in Japanese mythology] [TL: Can also be translated as God Cloth [ ⁇ ]]
Followed by the shout in his hand, tachi* appeared in Hiroaki's hand. [Tachi ( ⁇ ⁇ ): Predecessor Katana with a length of about 60 cm and a deeper indentation of the katana because the tachi is very suitable for use on horseback]
