0 – We’re getting married after this fight
A huge black golem collapsing before your eyes
Seeing that, the people present began to smile with determination.
“Good! I can go inside now.”
“Now, if only we can defeat the demon king in here…”
Amelda, a blonde female elf who shouted vigorously as she retracted her sword with divine power.
Eileen, a priest with silvery white hair, spoke timidly with a voice full of expectations.
They’ve been on an adventure for years…
They knew that the warrior party’s journey to defeat the demon king had now reached its end.
They just defeated the black golem, the gatekeeper who guarded the castle.
It was a guy with considerable fighting power, but even so, he collapsed in vain without causing much damage to the warriors’ party.
It was natural.
It was because the only people who came here were the continent’s strongest warriors who had gathered to defeat the demon king.
Eileen, a priest who holds the position of high priest
Elf Paladin Amelda.
Shude, a witch in a red robe
Tera, a female martial artist with bronzed skin and red hair.
And… the best power and leader of this party,
The continent’s strongest hero who pierced the heart of a golem in an instant just before.
Ellen Savior.
After brushing off the golem fragments on his sword, he looked at his party members and said,
“Good work, then.. let’s check for a while and then go inside.”
His face was slightly rigid, perhaps because he was about to face the final battle with the demon king.
Seeing this, Eileen, a priest who is one of the party members and Eren’s childhood friend, spoke to him in a friendly voice.
“Don’t be so nervous, Ellen. As always, we will be the winners in the end. Don’t worry, we’ll look after you.”
“That’s right, hero, with your strength, you will surely be able to win against the demon king. And after that.. as I always said, with me..”
Amelda, a paladin who agrees with Eileen’s words and speaks in a voice that conveys trust.
Seeing the two of them like that, Shud the witch and Terra, the beast, slightly frowned.
“Hey, are you flirting like this again? I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything else, but I have no intention of giving up on the hero.”
“sympathy. Warriors belong to all of us. Defeat the Demon King and share it with everyone.”
Two people who express their dissatisfaction with a story that contains the meaning of jealousy and crush.
In response, Eileen made a face as if she hadn’t even thought about it and said to the other three.
“Everyone, do it in moderation. No matter how much the hero promised to accept us all, the hero’s true love is always me. Always keep that in mind.”
“ha..”
“Yes yes yes..”
“Well sir. Madam Jeongsil.”
All of the party members took a step back as if they couldn’t help it at Eileen’s words.
Listening to their lighthearted conversation like this, the warrior with a hardened expression began to smile slightly awkwardly at the corner of his mouth.
After finishing the last inspection while having such a short but relaxing conversation,
The warriors of the warrior party rose from their seats and began to prepare for the final battle.
and,
Watching them like that…
A man waiting far away from his companions.
As the porter of the party, Torare, the person who brought the necessary items and tools to the party, spoke to the warriors of the warrior party with a characteristic innocent smile.
“Then, as I said, I will be waiting for you here. Please defeat the Demon King and bring peace to the world.”
“Yeah, thank you for coming all the way here.”
“Wait there! After defeating the Demon King, there will be a mountain of treasures to take with you.”
“You worked hard. I will definitely win and come back.”
“See you again, Mr. Torare.”
“… ”
The party of warriors went into the castle, saying hello to their comrades who had been with them so far, even though they had no fighting power.
Although Eren, the warrior, stopped giving him a look, all the other female members said goodbye to him with bright smiles.
Just like that, the hopeful warrior party of mankind disappeared into the darkness of the Dark Castle.
Watching them, Torare, the porter, smiled slowly at the corner of her mouth and spoke in a voice full of earnestness.
“Please come back safely, ladies.”
*
A demonic castle covered in thick darkness.
Upon entering the place, what the members of the warrior party saw was a vast space beyond their imagination.
A place reminiscent of a training ground for soldiers… no, an arena where warriors engage in sparring.
There, at a glance, demons who seemed to have considerable fighting power were firmly armed,
At the center of it is a being that shows off powerful black energy while covering the whole body with black armor.
The existence presumed to be the Demon King was sitting on a splendid throne and looking this way.
“Is the author… the Demon King?”
“Looks like they’ve been waiting for us to come.”
Just looking at it, the demon king seemed to have prepared the strongest power.
And the warriors preparing to run towards the demon king with great vigour, without being intimidated at all against him.
In the old stories, there were scenes of fighting after exchanging stories with the demon king in this situation, but these options for dialogue and compromise did not exist in the first place.
The party of warriors staring at the place where the devil and his men are, holding their weapons as they are.
With the final battle on the horizon for the fate of the world
Each of them began to say what he had to say.
“After this fight, we will get married.”
“Let’s get rid of it at once, hero, for our brilliant future.”
“let’s go! For our future and peace!”
“Kill the Demon King.”
Cries of colleagues full of hope and determination.
And listening to this
The hero Eren, who is the subject of their shouts and who is receiving their expectations in one body…
naturally in the mind.
I started to think of words that I couldn’t say out of my mouth right now.
‘It’s crazy and I’m tired…’
