We meet Liz, a hero of the northern country of the kingdom of Nesha...... It became very mysterious, mainly for me.

This should have been the second time we actually met each other, but I was confused by her who had been interacting with me with an unusual sense of distance, but now it was even more difficult for me to ask her from inside and outside, "What did you do this time?" I'm scared of my friends who put silent pressure on me.

 

"That's it...... It's our fault that we took our eyes off of it.'

"Hey, Nea, aren't you starting to give up in a weird way?"

"I've underestimated this stupid weirdo Hui Hui too much, and I might as well put it all together in a paper and submit it to Wealthy."

 

Don't try to find a reason why I tend to encounter weird people.

I don't want to be proven by that.

 

"Oh, that little girl~, how dare you neglect me and approach my servant, Usato-kun~!!"

"He was a strange person."

"Hmmmmm, but for some reason, the dog sensor is about to react to that child...... !! Why......!"

 

What is a dog sensor?

While he is wondering about the senior with the mysterious sensor, the large door of the hall opens and two new heroes enter.

One pair is Leona Mr./Ms. and Mirfa Mr./Ms....... The other pair is a man and a child in bright red robes.

 

"Now we have seven braves."

"That's right."

 

I said hello to Leona Mr./Ms. who noticed this, and looked around again at the five braves in the hall except for the senior and Leona Mr./Ms..

Elderly old man with a cane.

A man wearing a glittering decoration.

A woman looking around as if she is not whereabouts.

A tall man in a red robe came last.

 

「…… Everybody's going to have a tough time."

 

At first glance, the one that seems to be the most skilled is an old man with a cane, Mr./Ms..

He is in his 50s or 60s, but his tall and slim figure has a coldness as if he is in front of a blade.

When I was inwardly frightened, the old man's gaze suddenly turned to me.

 

「!」

 

The old man grinned at me with wide eyes and quickly looked away.

I don't know what it is, but Lucas' smile just crossed my mind...... No, I feel like it has a "I found something interesting" feeling in it.

 

"Usato-kun, what's wrong?"

"No, it's Mr./Ms....... old man."

「…… Yes. He's pretty good. He is old, but on the contrary, he has gained that much combat experience, and on top of that, he is in the position of a hero."

 

It seems that they will come into contact in the future.

It's just a hunch, though.

…… The fifth person, Liz from the Kingdom of Nesha, who spoke to me earlier, is .......

 

"Hey, hey, Usato-kun."

「…… I didn't see anything."

 

I look away from Liz, who is looking at me with half an eye out of the corner of my eye, twitching my cheeks.

The senior who noticed it also pulled my sleeve and called out in confusion, but I still didn't return my gaze.

 

"Hey Usato, he's looking over here."

"It's completely locked on, well, it doesn't seem to be malicious, so you can leave it alone, right? …… You just have to throw it to Usato."

 

When the time comes, I've decided to do everything in my power to involve you.

Assimilation means that it is important to help each other.

As I was inwardly determined to do so, the lights in the hall went out and it became a little dark.

 

"Looks like we're all here."

 

Along with his voice, the light of the magic tool shines from the ceiling and illuminates a part of the hall.

From the depths of the light-lit tent on the stage, several guards and a man dressed in white emerge.

 

"I am Lambda Lark Kamherio, King of Kamherio."

 

Is it a magic tool that expands the voice?

As he thought of this at the sound of his voice echoing throughout the hall, the man standing on the stage placed it on his chest and bowed.

 

"Brave men, I would like to express my gratitude for participating in this historic celebration of my Kamgherio."

 

He is a very polite king.

Naturally, it has a similar atmosphere to Mr./Ms. Naia.

 

"I may be rude, but he's like a king."

"Isn't it...... Maybe it's just that the people I've met so far have been too distinctive."

 

Maybe the impression of Lucas is too strong.

As he was talking in a low voice with his senior, the king looked around the hall ——— suddenly took a deep breath as if he was overwhelmed with emotion.

 

"Fufufu, it's a spectacular sight to see so many people who bear the name of the brave gather every year, and it's no exaggeration to say that the reason why I became king at this time is summed up in this moment ......!!"

 

"Usato-kun, can I retract my previous statement?"

 

…… Even if you don't think about it, there was no way that the king of a country would take the initiative to hold a festival called the Hero Collection Festival.

Somehow, even from a distance, you can see that his eyes are shining.

Lambda-sama, whose impression changed in an instant, continued to speak in a lively manner.

 

"Alright, first of all, let me introduce you to the honorable heroes who gathered at the Hero Collection Festival......!!"

 

Isn't that a role for kings...... Leaving aside the question.

Finally, you can find out about the heroes of other countries.

Another light of the magic tool that illuminates Lambda appears, circling around the hall——— stopping in one group and illuminating it brightly.

 

"The Kingdom of Garga "The Next Generation of Heroes" Reval"

"Hmmm."

 

The person who was illuminated was a man wearing an expensive-looking decoration.

Called Rival, a slim figure with the same golden hair as the decoration, he bows with a reverent gesture.

 

"Flemia Kingdom" Twin Demon Hero "Aura"

"Hmm...... Oh, wow, it'...... me."

 

The woman in the braid, who was suddenly exposed to the light and jumped like a rabbit, panicked.

 

"The Calf Kingdom" Indestructible Hero Claude

"This is going to be the last time I'm going to stand here."

 

An old man dressed in an outfit that resembles men's clothing with his hair trimmed back and tight.

He looks as slim as the hero of the kingdom of Garga, but unlike him, his sophisticated demeanor makes you feel something extraordinary.

 

"The Floating City of Miarak "Hero of the Ice Spear" Leona!

"Hey, ice spear......? Isn't the nickname a little too flashy......?"

 

Mr./Ms., who is wearing a blue dress instead of her usual armor, has a puzzled expression on her face as she is illuminated by the light.

 

"Neysha Kingdom" Wind Slasher Hero "Liz"

「……」

"Sister."

"Oh, me?"

 

- And Liz comes out with a slap on the back by her sister.

…… Is she really okay?

 

"The Kingdom of Milva "Hero of the Storm" Lanzas

 

It was a man in a red robe who was called.

The man with blonde hair, mixed with gray, has a somewhat pale complexion, and only scratches his cheeks with a helpless smile.

Beside him stands a boy about the same age as Amako, who looks at the hero next to him with a concerned gaze.

 

"Is she a healing wizard?"

"Surely, the heroes of the Milva Kingdom are weak?"

 

His body is weak due to his congenital magical constitution, and he always has a healing wizard by his side to make up for it...... I guess that's what it feels like.

It's difficult to get involved because it's about another country, but as a fellow healing wizard, I want to talk to him.

 

"Ringle Kingdom "Hero of Thunder" Inukami Suzune

"Huh, here am me?"

 

Was the senior called?

Perhaps because of his reputation in the battle with the Demon King's army, the eyes of everyone in the hall are focused on us.

Even when exposed to the gaze that would normally be pressurized, the senior is imposing with his hands on his hips.

I thought about it when I was in the original world, but this kind of thing makes me think that this kind of thing is a good thing.

 

"——— and his attendant, Usato"

"Hmm?"

 

…… Well, ...... I misheard?

Now, I felt that my name was called in a way that was clearly different from the other heroes.

Aware that the strong expression that he had maintained from earlier was getting stronger, he listened to the voices in the hall where the noise was occurring.

 

"Only his squire is named? Cheeky.'

"Whew, he's the leading expert on magic power...... But I'm scared of ...... face."

"Why ...... to Usato, the squire?"

"It's a tough look, well, it's understandable."

"Mmmmmmmmmm" "Sister, what kind of emotion is that?"

"That's the healing wizard......

 

...... the brave man looks at me and says something!

I'm a servant who isn't a hero or anything, so why on earth ...... this?

 

"Usato, this is ......."

「…… No way."

 

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but did you get my attention?

In fact, this has made it difficult for me to move, and if I can remember my face poorly, it may interfere with my activities here.

But I can't help but think that Lambda simply appreciated me as a member of the team that fought the Demon Lord...... For the time being, do you want to strengthen your strength?

 

"Usato-kun...... I feel like the atmosphere is getting worse...... Isn't it just you?"

"For the time being, I'll do this as long as people around me are watching."

 

Cross your arms, emphasizing your reticence and rigor.

Lambda-sama is in a good mood without paying attention to the fact that I said my name, and she flicks her right hand in an exaggerated gesture.

 

"The seven brave people gathered here will hold the Hero Collection Festival! This festival is the largest ever! The heroes of each country will fight for pride, will, and pride!

 

I ...... that we are going to fight after all.

 

"It's a best-of-three game! The first of these will be held in the form of a brawl using a part of this city as a field!

 

What does it mean to turn a city into a battleground......

Does it mean that they will play in the city where the people of Kamherio live?

 

"The first rule is simple and clear!" Prohibition of lethal weapons and magic for offensive purposes! I want you to show me your skills and combat experience!

 

"While restricting the hero, you ...... not putting any shackles on this monster with physical abilities?"

"This guy's attack looks like an attack, not for the purpose of attacking, ......?"

 

"'You're insane, this king.'"

 

It's profane, you guys ......!!

He could feel the strong face that had been hardened in Nea and Ferm twitching.
