The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

13 – Scheduled Despair [Demon World] – 2

One day when I quit being a hero and lived peacefully in my hometown.

I got some really incredible news in the newspaper.

In the past, I tried my best to seal the demon king, the news that the demon king is about to be unsealed…

I could never keep my composure when I heard this news.

“This… what the hell is this…?”

I couldn’t help but shake my hand holding the newspaper.

As a person who personally witnessed and fought the catastrophe called the Demon King, this was absolutely not an issue that could be overlooked.

My heart started racing, and I was so nervous that sweat dripped from my hands.

To think that the demon lord could be released… This was absolutely not a problem that could be overlooked.

‘Everything… the next one… the next one is needed.’

Because I needed more information.

Currently, the newspaper only wrote that a warrior party had been formed, and that a parade would be held to welcome him shortly thereafter.

How the hell did this happen?

Who the hell is going to break the demon king’s seal?

What on earth did the imperial family do until this happened?

I have now looked further into the newspapers for more information on this matter, but…

Unfortunately, there was no more information I could find out in the newspaper.

‘There might be more newspapers at the chief’s house.’

Because of this, I was hesitant about what to do… but there was a way.

Now this newspaper is roughly 3 days ago.

Perhaps the head of the village also has the latest newspapers.

After thinking about it, I immediately prepared to head to the chief’s house.

“Brother…? What’s wrong?”

Seeing me like this, my sister suddenly asks why.

With a very worried expression.

I asked as if what the hell was so surprising about in the newspaper.

“… nothing. Lili. Now… hold on, I’ll go first.”

I gave Lili an appropriate answer and left.

Because now wasn’t the time to talk to Lili.

I ran to the chief’s house at full speed.

And while I was running like that, I couldn’t help but have doubts about this situation.

‘What the hell do you think a real demon king is?’

I heard that the reason why I bothered to unseal the demon king was to kill the demon king.

But that never made sense.

As someone who had fought against the demon lord, even after thinking about it dozens of times, I had no choice but to come to the conclusion that there was no way that was possible.

That demon king was the demon king I barely sealed. If it was possible to kill it, I would have killed it before anyone else.

It was impossible, so at least it was sealed.

That Demon King is really… strong enough to transcend imagination.

But to break the seal of the demon lord, do you think the demon lord is weak?

‘It’s proven that the demon lord can’t be weak at the point where I, the hero, couldn’t defeat him in the first place.’

It was a quick conclusion after thinking about it for a bit.

In the first place, the person known to be the strongest among humans was the hero.

It would be the right judgment to judge that I, a hero like that, was stronger than any demon king at the point where I was barely able to seal it.

I couldn’t understand what kind of conclusion they came to and why they were trying to unseal the demon king and defeat him.

‘Let’s assume that it is solved by conceding a hundred times…! Then isn’t it normal that you have to let me know?’

Besides, I couldn’t understand why he didn’t come to me.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know why I have to release the demon king, but let’s assume that I really have to solve it.

Then, no matter how much I retired as a warrior, you would have to ask me.

It was natural.

Because I was the one who knew the most information about the Demon King.

With what confidence did he go to break the seal of the demon lord without coming to me?

‘What the hell is the princess doing?’

Lastly, the most incomprehensible was the princess.

The first princess, Lesia, who currently holds all the real powers of the empire.

No matter what her subordinates think, all decisions start with her.

I can’t even do this without her permission.

In the end, this happened because the princess made a choice.

She couldn’t understand why the hell she made this choice.

So many things I didn’t understand.

Breaking the seal of the Demon King…

As I ran to the chief’s house, all I could think of was confusion, worry, and anxiety.

‘No… Let’s think positively.’

But while I was worried about that, I decided to try a reverse idea for a while.

In fact, the thought that everything I was worried about might be for nothing.

If you think about it, maybe I’m rather stupid, right?

‘Ah… I wonder if he saved some great party member?’

Maybe a great warrior I didn’t know about appeared.

That hero was much stronger than me, and it could be that he believed in such a hero and tried to break the seal of the demon king.

Perhaps there are many strong people I don’t know about in the world.

It wasn’t without possibility.

And if it was to gather such strong people and participate in the demon lord subjugation…

I’m sure you’ll be able to defeat the demon lord…

If that’s the case, I’m going to unseal the demon lord and defeat him.

‘There’s no way the princess could be that stupid.’

It was unconditionally so.

Are there really people like that? I feel anxious, but I’m sure I’ll make this guess.

Unless the princess is an idiot, there’s absolutely no way she could just break the demon lord’s seal.

I don’t think she’s completely stupid though.

“Chief Lee.”

“Huh? Isn’t that Rag? Why suddenly…”

“Give me that newspaper right away.”

“Newspaper? Here.”

Anyway, while I was thinking that, I arrived at the chief’s house.

And I took the newspaper the chief was holding and looked for information about the warriors party.

“Let’s see… the members.”

And after a while, the information about the warrior party he found was as follows.

Warrior, Bill.

Master of the Magic Tower, Drek.

Saint, Clara.

Elf, Diane.

“This… You’re going to go defeat the demon lord now with a member like this?”

My expectations were completely distorted.

After the parade, the road to the Devil’s Castle.

As we headed towards the Demon Castle, the number of people became less and less, and the surroundings became darker.

At first glance, the bleak and dreary atmosphere… The surroundings were dyed with a very frightening atmosphere.

“Elf-sama’s ears are very pointed. Can I touch them?”

However, the atmosphere of the warrior party was not as dark as I thought.

The demon king was sealed anyway, and there was no demon around.

The atmosphere was frightening, but there was nothing particularly threatening.

Moreover, from a while ago, the saintess, Clara, clung to Diane as if she were curious about an elf she had never seen before, and continued to talk to her.

So it was an atmosphere that could not be gloomy even if it had to be gloomy.

“Hey. Do it right! Are you here to play?”

However, even so, this place is an enemy area, and we must not be vigilant.

It was getting closer and closer to the place where the demon castle was.

So, in the end, Diane had no choice but to scream loudly at the saintess who laughed while touching her ear.

Since they weren’t here to play, they got angry in the sense of being more alert.

“Hee… hee hee… hee hee…”

And Diane’s scream.

The saintess, Clara shed tears.

Diane’s annoyance was so frightening to her, who had a soft heart…

Clara was embarrassed.

He didn’t do anything wrong, he just said that it was strange, but he shed tears because he felt so unfair now that he was angry.

“Ah… Um… sorry…”

Of course, that wasn’t Diane’s fault. She didn’t think she was wrong. We weren’t on a picnic right now, and it was only natural that we should be alert.

She only said what she had to say, but for some reason, seeing the saintess weeping made her heart soften.

Eventually, Diane apologized to the saintess.

“hehehehe…”

“It’s OK to touch your ears… Would you like to stop crying?”

“I… Really?”

“yes.”

Still, he kept crying, so he allowed me to touch his ears.

I cried so much… thinking I couldn’t help it.

“hehehe…”

“I’m sorry…”

With Diane’s permission, the saintess finally stopped crying.

And as if he had never done that, he smiled brightly and touched Diane’s ear.

“Ehh…”

The hero who was watching it, Bill.

He couldn’t help but let out a little sigh.

Still, it’s a warrior’s party in name, but that kind of appearance was really, how to say, it was like that as a warrior.

‘It would have been very frustrating if it was really a party of warriors going to defeat the demon king.’

And I was worried about what if.

If he were to do something like this now in a situation where he was facing a living demon king, surrounded by countless demons, he would surely not have tolerated it as a hero.

However, I didn’t bother to say anything, thinking that this would be okay.

Going to defeat the sealed demon lord was all I had to do.

It was such a simple thing, and it was something I could just do for a while and return to the Empire right away.

“Now. The small talk ends here.”

While Bill thought so, they reached their destination.

A huge dark castle in front of them.

It was undoubtedly the Demon King.
