The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

53 – colleague

“You’ve finally arrived.”

It’s been a long time since I smelled the scent of the empire.

As much as what had happened in the other world hadn’t been long, and it wasn’t easy, the air in the original world couldn’t help but be that sweet.

When I’m taking a break for my body, smelling the nostalgic air of the world that I haven’t smelled in a really long time.

“Give me blood…”

There was a demonic woman who tapped me on the shoulder and started talking to me.

That woman was Trina, the woman I had been to the fairyland with.

She tapped me on the shoulder as always and looked at me very hungry, like a baby looks at its mother’s breast.

“Do you eat all day?”

Of course, I did not have such a child.

To the end, it was just a contractual relationship, it was absolutely not a mother-daughter relationship or a father-daughter relationship.

So, of course, I had no choice but to give up.

To this leech-like demon who covets my blood so much.

“Because I’m growing up…”

“Ehh…”

But, after all, I had no choice but to give it up in the end.

Anyway, now was the time when we needed the power to defeat the demon lord.

As I, who lacked even a single power, felt obligated to raise Trina.

So, it doesn’t matter if you give me some blood.

It was my situation that I was giving blood to Trina periodically with the mindset of donating blood every day.

“The Empire looks bad in many ways.”

After giving it anyway, I headed back to the Empire.

And on the way there, I accidentally found a newspaper and looked at the current situation.

In many ways, the empire, in its own way, did not look very good.

“Hmm… Really? Empires seem to be fighting each other?”

Trina put her chin on my shoulder as I was reading the newspaper.

She, too, looked over her shoulder at the newspaper and spat out her impressions of the empire as of now.

“There is a Demon King, what the hell are you doing?”

Her sentimental comment was slightly twisted, but to sum it up, it was this.

pathetic. It seemed so pitiful that an infighting was taking place over a common enemy, the Demon King.

If it goes wrong, it’s a moment of crisis, but it must have seemed so pathetic to the people who were divided, even if they couldn’t unite.

“Hmm…”

Trina’s words.

I sympathize with Trina’s words, but I did not defend her words.

“It’s like that.”

Well, because that’s always been the case.

Even if you look at the history of the empire, there are quite a lot of things like this, and even if something happens than you think, it’s hard to suddenly unite with someone you didn’t like from the beginning.

Rather, he would use the chaos to somehow gnaw at his opponent.

I had seen enough of these things, so I knew them well enough.

“Hmm… Someone is working hard. Aren’t you angry when you see something like that?”

It was Trina who looked at me and said as if she couldn’t understand.

Seeing this, he felt very frustrated, but he seemed to be asking me if I was feeling frustrated.

“It does too.”

Of course, to be honest, it wasn’t that I wasn’t frustrated.

Looking at this, it must be true to some extent that I feel frustrated even though I am working hard.

That was certainly an undeniable fact.

“But I just have to do what I have to do.”

But, well, it wasn’t like I overturned everything and became emperor, and if I wanted to do that, I would have done it a long time ago.

I had no intention of doing so in the first place, but now that I have come, I have no intention of saying anything about the imperial family.

I just kill the demon king as a hero, just finish this mission and let the rest take care of itself.

“And it’s more comfortable for me not to care.”

Also, in fact, even if the imperial family helped now, it wouldn’t be very helpful.

It has been a long time since the battle has already turned into a battle between the hero and the demon king.

It was rather a nuisance, let alone a help, for another halfway person to intervene.

So it was better for me to fight with each other like this.

So I folded the newspaper again and hit the road.

“It could be. I have a place to go for a while. See you later.”

Trina didn’t want to stay here any longer, as if being in the Empire was a bit uncomfortable.

Leaving a promise to meet later, we headed elsewhere first.

“By the way… will Anastasia really become the next emperor?”

In the meantime, I didn’t bother to pay attention, but I had already figured out the current situation.

The situation where Anastasia is ahead in all aspects now, whether it is the support of the people or the nobles, Anastasia will probably overtake Lesia.

Indeed, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for her to win the emperor’s succession.

No, it was okay to consider Anastasia becoming emperor as almost certain.

“If that happens, Lesia will…”

And then, in the end, it is a story that Lesia will be defeated…

In that case, I thought about Lecia’s end for a while…

“Well, it’s none of my business.”

As expected, it wasn’t a very pleasant ending, and I decided not to care anymore.

No matter what the royal family was like, it wasn’t my business at all, and once again, I was facing the most important problem of being the Demon King.

My position didn’t matter who it ended up being.

“In the end, I have to defeat the Demon King.”

Because I was just a warrior who wanted to defeat the demon king and live a quiet life.

From the beginning, it had no other purpose other than that.

“Hmm…”

But, there was one thing that was needed.

I barely managed to get the holy sword by going to the Fairy Land, but I still needed other things.

And the other thing was the beings called colleagues.

A colleague who will fight against himself alongside the demon lord.

What such a colleague desperately needed was himself, a hero, but…

“Where did you get it…”

But unfortunately, being a companion was not as easy to obtain as something that fell from the sky.

Beings that could be useful to fight the demon lord, of course, but they weren’t common.

Now, I had to save such a colleague somehow, but in fact, the difficulty of that was probably much more difficult than getting the holy sword.

This situation has no choice but to fall into trouble in many ways.

In this situation, luck unexpectedly came to the warrior.

“You are the hero Rag.”

“Who is it?”

There was a person who came to a hero who was eating a normal meal in the empire.

A somber-looking male wizard wearing a black wizard’s uniform.

And a man with bronzed skin and a large, well-trained body.

At first glance, unusual looking characters came to the warrior, and the warrior was a little embarrassed.

Because I didn’t know why these people were looking for me.

I was a little worried that it might be a fight or something, but…

“I am the warlock, Antonis.”

“I am Brudo, the barbaric warrior.”

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

They seemed to have no hostility towards the hero. No, rather, the way he introduced himself was showing goodwill.

“We want to be your teammates.”

And the reason seemed to be because of the warrior party.

Two people suggesting that they want to be a warrior party.

I looked at them a bit.

“Why?”

“Warlocks want to be discriminated against. I want to eliminate discrimination against black magic by making achievements.”

“For the revival of the savage tribe. We savage people live while being rejected. I want to solve that.”

When I heard the reason they wanted to join the warrior party, I thought it wasn’t too bad.

Two people with their own goals, each wanted to join my warrior party for their own reasons.

And there was no particular reason for disqualification for that reason.

“Hmm… that’s good. Welcome to the party.

So I had no choice but to allow them. I allowed them to enter the warrior party.

A decision made so quickly, at first glance, that it might seem that I was too hasty and rough-and-tumble, but of course it wasn’t like that.

These were my own fair judgments.

It was judged that this level of strength would be useful in the fight against the demon lord.

The traces of numerous battles visible to them.

It was clear that he would fight much better than those who had never fought at least once.

“Thank you.”

Bru, the savage warrior, nodded at my permission, and he showed a little gratitude.

“So hero. Let me ask you one question. When are we going to invade the castle?”

Now it was time to get to the point.

In the first place, our party was a party of warriors to defeat the demon king.

Of course, you must be wondering when you will defeat such a demon king.

He seemed to have a slightly impetuous temper like a barbaric warrior.

I replied to Brudo with a smile.

“now.”

Time to invade the castle.

“…?”

“Didn’t you hear? We’re going in now.”

It said right now.
