“Roden is dead.”

Inside a magnificent meeting room, with his voice echoing throughout the room, a man in formal attire like a secretary said that, which made the atmosphere of the room tense.

But, not only did it get there, the man again said.

“Not only that, I also can't contact Estella,” she said in a voice that sounded sick.

Hearing the statement, the look on the faces of everyone in the meeting room changed, they were all shocked.

“Oi oi, what do you mean can not be contacted?! Is that woman dead?” asked a man with a wild face while staring intently at the secretary man.

But, still in his calm expression, the secretary man replied.

“I still can't confirm it until then, but we have to think about the worst possibility as well.”

“If the lizard that was with her just died, wouldn't it be natural to assume Estella was dead too?” sahut a little girl with white hair while playing with her rabbit doll.

“What does that mean that His Majesty said about the prophecy of a Hero is indeed true? If so, we should immediately go to meet that person and kill him before he gets stronger,” chimed a giant-bodied man with a heavy voice.

“Bas stupid, this is why I hate people who act first just think. He's the one who can beat Roden and Estella. It is better to interrupt him first, after which attack him with a mature plan,” interrupted a man who had three eyes on his head.

“I agree with him. Leaving now without knowing how strong the person really was, it was a reckless act. It's best to send an army to investigate the man first before attacking him. I don't want to fight him if I know he can hurt my mother,” added a woman with her eyes covered in cloth, and cradled a baby in his arms.

They were all arguing about what steps they should take.

“….”

While on the other hand, there are people who are just silent.

Staring at everyone who was there with her melancholic eyes, she seemed to have no interest at all in following the debate.

But, even so, there would be no one to judge him just because it was— no, they simply did not have the courage to do so.

Sitting far above his throne arrogantly, the person sighed and suddenly raised his voice that sounded devoid of the spirit of life.

“You guys are too noisy,” the word is short.

But, with just that one sentence alone, the atmosphere that was previously noisy by people arguing, was now becoming silent as if the time in that place had suddenly stopped.

It was not just a figure of speech, because not only were their voices silent, everyone in the room was also completely motionless, like a statue.

They all tried hard not to make the slightest sound, and all that was just to not ignite the anger of the figure sitting on the throne.

After that, the figure again said.

“Don't be too excited just because of one Hero, our goal is not to kill Heroes, have you forgotten?”

“….”

No one answered, because they all understood that if they answered the question of the figure, then their life would be over.

Right now they were all like standing on the brink, a slight misstep would end it all.

To them, he was a god.

Therefore, they would follow all his orders and continue to scare him off as a majestic figure.

Every word is an absolute command.

Whatever he wants, is their desire.

That was the form of the curse that they currently had to carry.

“Enough to here the talk. I want you to investigate the hero who defeated Estella and the lizard. If you think you can kill him, kill him immediately. Not only him, if you see anyone who interferes with our cause, eliminate them, that's all. I still have important business to do, so I will go,” he said in a voice overwhelmed by arrogance.

“....”

“Oh yes, you can move freely,” he continued back before he left.

After saying that, the figure instantly disappeared within the darkness and left all of them behind.

At the same time, all the people who were silent immediately took their breaths, which they had been holding all this time, only to not make the slightest sound.

Once everyone calms down.

They were finally able to breathe with relief.

“As usual, the pressure from that person was too terrible, just by hearing his voice was reed I was sitting up all.”

“You're pathetic. But, I also understand a little about your feelings,”

“As expected of the person who has the title of Demon King. The level is too different. I feel a little sorry for those Heroes for having to fight monsters like her.”

“Yeah, I don't really care anyway. As long as my goal is achieved, I will continue to follow it,”

“Here you go, I'll go. I have no more business here!”

“I'm also gone. For orders from His Majesty, as always, we will move on our own. After all from the beginning we are also not friends.”

Hearing that suggestion, no one would mind.

Afterwards, they one by one began to withdraw from the room, and returned to their respective duties without any intention of cooperating.

...****************...

—Gurun Akare, north of the Kingdom of Randolf.

The sound of rustling sand rumbled in the desert, like a living creature, a terrifying desert storm moved towards the black-haired young man.

However, different from the looks of it, it was not just an ordinary desert storm.

Revealing its huge black shadow, a giant scorpion monster ran at a terrifying speed towards the young man.

Getting closer and closer.

But, the look on the young man's face did not change at all, holding a white-bladed sword that was a holy sword, the young man looked very calm as the scorpion monster got closer.

“Haruto, he's close,” said someone with a voice of a girl who warned the young man.

The voice came from the sword itself. He was one of the nine Heavenly Swords that existed in this world.

The young man, who was called Haruto, after hearing the warning from his comrade, he took a deep breath and prepared to fight.

“Rafael, let's quickly get this over with and get back to where it all is,” Haruto said with a feisty brave smile.

“Don't worry, if it's with Haruto, we can definitely do it!” answer the holy sword called Raphael with confidence.

At that very instant, clasping tightly onto his holy sword, Haruto stared intently at the scorpion monster.

Then—

'Bom!'

He lunged at him with lightning speed.

A powerful explosion sounded from his footsteps. He darted with all the power he had, and in just the blink of an eye—

“Keeeeiiikkk—!!!”

—He managed to kill the monster by cutting it into pieces.

...****************...

“Stop you fucking thief! This time I will definitely catch you!!” a fruit stall owner shouted as he chased after a small child who had stolen the fruit.

“Hah! Huh! Huh!” The boy desperately continued running while tightly hugging all the fruits he had stolen.

But, as he continued to run, he accidentally bumped into someone and made him fall.

“Aduh!”

As a result, all the fruit he brought also fell scattered on the ground.

Seeing that, he hurriedly tried to pick back the fruits. However, back then the stall owner had managed to catch up to him, and his hand was instantly pulled when he wanted to pick up the fruits.

“Because of you!”

“Egh! Let go of me!” the screams of the boy who rebelled and tried to let go of the hand of the stall owner.

But, there were too many power differences between adults and small children.

“Ahahaha! Now you can't go anywhere anymore! I will hand you over to the guards so that they lock you up in jail, and I will also get compensation for having caught the thief!” said the stall owner with a cruel grin.

Hearing that, the boy's face turned pale.

“Ti-No! Unhand me! I don't want to go to jail! I still have a little sister to live with! Please let me go!” scream the boy who tried to beg.

“Basic fool, it's your own fault for stealing! I don't care about your situation, I will still hand you over to the guards! Let's go!” reject the stall owner and without mercy he drags the child.

But the boy was all his might trying to keep fighting back.

The passers-by who saw the incident simply ignored it, and began to gather to watch them.

Suddenly, a little girl emerged from the darkness of the alley, and ran to help the boy.

“Let go of my brother!!” he shouted while biting the arm of the owner of the stall.

“Keh! You fucking brat!” the owner of the stall groaned, and then, he thoughtlessly swung his fist towards the little girl in anger. “Feel this!!” his screeches.

But—

“You can't do that, uncle.”

—Someone stops his fist with just one hand.

“You?” The boy's eyebrows shot up when he saw who was helping him.

That person was the person he had previously hit.

From her voice, she sounded like a teenage girl, but the child could not see her face clearly because she was wearing a white hood that only showed her smiling mouth.

“Who are you?! Don't block me! They keep stealing my fruit every day! So they deserve this!!” the owner of the stall snapped at the mysterious figure.

“Can you calm down first? I will pay for all the fruit they have stolen. Is this enough?” reply to that figure while giving a pocket full of money.

As the stall owner took it and opened it to confirm the money, his eyes opened wide.

“Platinum coin?!” screeched with surprise.

Seeing the amount of money he had earned, the stall owner's body began to tremble in fear.

He immediately understood when he saw the dozens of platinum coins he received, if the person in front of him was now not just an ordinary person. Because the only one who has platinum coins in this country is only a great noble or royal family.

He gulped his saliva when he saw the white-hooded figure.

“What is less?” ask her in a soft tone.

“Ti-No, this is enough! Please forgive me! I'll go now!” the stall owner replied with a frightened face and immediately ran away just like that.

After the stall owner had gone far away, the hooded girl began to notice the two children she had saved.

“Are you two okay? Did that uncle hurt you?” he asked while squatting in front of them.

But, they did not answer him at all, the boy stared intently at the hooded girl vigilantly.

“Why did sister save us? Does your sister want anything from us? I'll do whatever you want, but please don't hurt my sister!” said the boy while protecting his sister who was hiding behind.

Hearing that, the hooded girl smiled, and then she stroked the boy's head gently.

“You really are a strong and brave brother. Don't worry, you won't do anything to you, but if you promise not to steal again, if you're hungry, you can go to the church in the center, brother always distribute free food there, do you guys understand?” his reply.

“...” The boy was silent.

This was the first time he had seen anyone willing to do good to them.

This made him slightly aware that in this world there were also still good people like him.

“Alright, I promise!” he said with a cheerful smile. “I won't steal anymore!”

“Good son!” reply the girl with a big smile and start ruffling the boy's hair.

“Ahahaha! Please stop that brother!” the boy screamed as he was amused by the treatment.

Then the girl stood up again.

“Alright, brother go first, there is still business that you have to finish. Take good care of yourself, drugs!” said the girl and she immediately left the two of them.

However, just as he was about to leave, the boy called out to him again.

“Wait for brother, please tell me brother's name!” his yell.

At that moment, the girl turned around.

“Oh yes, sister forgot to introduce herself sister.”

He opened his white robe, and there was immediately the clear face of a beautiful girl with long black hair and beautiful bright red eyes.

Seeing that, the two children seemed to be fascinated by her beauty.

“You can call your sister by the name of Shina. It was the name of a little sister who had the greatest big brother in the whole world!” answer with a big smile.

...****************...

And then, at the same time.

“Hachuu!” I sneezed.

“What's up, Riku? Are you a cold?”

“No, it feels like there is someone else talking about me. Well, whatever, let's continue hugging, there are still many places we have to plant trees.”.

Right now, together with Alicia, we are planting small trees to recover this charred forest.

But, this really isn't an easy job.

“Huuaaah!! Alicia-sensei! Alicia-sensei! Helpme! This ant bit me and my hand suddenly turned to stone!!”

“Wait, Riku! It's Medusa ants! Don't move much! The ants are already surrounding you! [Recovery]! [Recovery]! [Recovery]! [Recovery]..”.

“Huaaahhh—!!”

As you can see, this is not an easy job.

In this world, even an ant can kill you.
