The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me.

Ready to switch places and kill.

“Gaaaah, a demon has appeared in St. Luna, we must head there immediately! A demon has appeared in St. Luna, we must head there immediately!”

Around this time, the alarm clock became lightly murderous when it was the cry of the ravens. But only today, the surprise was greater than the murderous intent.

“Has a demon appeared in St. Luna? …… Has that demon broken the barrier that that Pope has put up around St. Luna?”

“I don’t know the details, but I got a prayer from St. Luna!”

If the demon really broke through the barrier that was put up in St. Luna – a barrier that was so strong that even if the demon king took all his allies and tried to break them, they would not break, then his strength is comparable to that of a high level evil god.

If that’s the case, I’ll have to bring out the “thing.” …… No, the thing would be a complete backfire if I brought it out when it wasn’t an evil god.

 The thing might be able to defeat an evil god, but it will never be able to defeat a demon.

And the ravens did say that it was a demon.

Still, it is too risky to take that thing out with a single evil god reading.

“… I have to take down the gods and be prepared for it.”

However, I don’t want to use it because it comes at a cost.

I hurriedly changed into my usual prayer clothes and carried my usual ceremonial sword on my hip.

In the worst case, if it’s an evil god, let’s come back to get “it” again. There is a lot of time loss, but St. Luna has a good paladin and, if anything, a pope.

There shouldn’t be any contingencies.

“‘Kagura-sama, wait a minute, I’ll change in a minute.”

I guess it was Seraphy’s turn to be my companion.

I’m not sure why you’d want to come along, but it’s probably for the best that today is Seraphy’s turn.

No, isn’t it good?

The raven, which was the size of a shoulder, grows to the size of a hut.

I waited for Seraphy on the raven’s back, thinking that it was an absurd sight, no matter how many times I saw it.

After about five minutes, Seraphy comes out.

“I heard the raven cawing, so I packed lunch in a hurry, and I’ll share it with you on the road.”

“It’s no picnic. ……”

“I’m sorry, but I’m looking forward to being with Kagura-sama.”

Seraphy was cute when she said that and laughed.

I feel the sense of danger and anxiety that has been swirling around in my mind, and the accompanying tension that has been causing me so much heartache, ease a little.

“So, where are you going today?

“St. Luna, a demon came out.”

Quickly. Seraphy, whose face was red, whether it was shy or high in tension, turned pale.

A demon is out in St. Luna.

A barrier was set up; earthquakes and pestilence were possible, but demons were never allowed to pass through that St. Luna.

The shock was like mine earlier; no, St. Luna is also Seraphy’s hometown, and she seemed even more shocked than I was.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes, yes, I understand.”

Or if you’re talking about a demon in a random city that isn’t St. Luna, that could have been a real picnic.

But it doesn’t work that way.

We flew to St. Luna, where an unknown demon was said to have appeared.

◇

For the month or two, there was not the slightest hint of a demon in St. Luna.

Unchanging boundaries, unchanging walls, unchanging people in the city.

Raven cawed, and it seemed peaceful, as if the warning of a Lord Class demon had been a fake.

Except that the cathedral bells are gone.

The bells on the top of the cathedral itself are just a decoration.

It’s just an ordinary, large bell that serves only one purpose: to provide the people of St. Luna with the sound of bells to refresh their spirits during the holiday season.

However, it was made by top-notch craftsmen using quality metals, and due to the fact that it was right above the Papal Palace, it would never break or rust.

It was still shocking that such a supposed bell had been destroyed.

“…… Apparently, the demon is already gone.”

“Ah, judging by the devastation of the bell, it doesn’t seem likely that he’s hiding out in this city.”

At least, with the way he rampaged through that thing, there’s no hiding or shit.

Proof that the demon has already left.

If you have two days to get from Maisha to St. Luna, the demon will be able to travel to one or two cities.

Naturally, I was able to take care of the demon before it got out of control in Remiburn, and that time was more of a trail.

“I mean, even if there are demons that can slip through the barrier, there’s also the Pope, so that was a complete boneheaded move.”

“Yes, well, since we’re here, let’s at least show our faces to the church members.”

“Well, yeah.”

I’m not a fan of the Pope because he’s so scary, but I know a lot of holy knights and prayers, and I wanted to at least show my face.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him, especially Fynell who was my buddy when I first became a holy knight.

And so we step into the cathedral of Luna.

◇

“Finnell’s been kidnapped?

“Mmm, unworthy of my presence.”

Feelings of frustration and anger encapsulated in the same intimidation as ever.

According to the Pope, Finnell was kidnapped by a demon.

“How dare the Pope take a back seat to the devil?”

“I’m sorry.”

The Pope bowed his head apologetically as he said this.

Seraphy has a pale face. It’s a natural story. Finnell is Seraphy’s sister. And I was shocked to hear that Finnell was kidnapped.

She was a buddy when I was a paladin, so I knew her the most. Therefore, the news of unhappiness comes to my heart.

“So…what kind of demon was this demon?”

More than that, I was pissed, and I was going to find it and kill it, so I asked the Pope what the demon looked like.

“The hero Renya had become a demon, and the prayers of the god Luna did not work on him.”

A hero became a demon.

So that’s it. He is more favored by Luna than anyone else. Even if he becomes a demon, he will not be hit by the barrier and will not disappear in prayer.

The bell was broken, the Pope lagged behind, and Finnell was kidnapped.

I understand the reason why he fell into such a situation. I remembered that the hero was trying to give a little bit to Finnell.

The hero is a former companion.

He’s also a hero with a mission to save the world.

That’s why I had to be very careful when I was challenged to a duel in Remiburn before.

I didn’t hate the hero, and I don’t hate him much now.

…… In the first place, the divine children of the God of Dance do not hunt demons because they like or dislike them.

However ……

“Her-, no, Renya, who would stoop to the level of a demon for the sake of lust.”

I have to kill the hero who has fallen to the devil, even if he was once one of us, because he was one of us.

We must hunt them down and make them disappear.

I swear to myself as I lightly clasp my hand on the sword I carry.

“Renya, the next time I see you is when I’ll make sure you’re dead—“

E/D: do you want to change the raven/crow to Yatagarasu?
