“A hero’s debut ceremony, you say?

I’ve heard something outrageous.

If I hadn’t been eating, I would’ve definitely burst out laughing.

That was close.

ㅤ

But let’s talk about the hero.

When you mention the hero, it’s that hero, right?

An otherworlder like me.

In other words, people who have the same cheat ability as me.

And, historically, the Demon Lords have been killed by the hero, making them potentially more terrifying than the Demon Lord.

ㅤ

And you’re telling me that thing is in this country?

You’re joking, right?

Tell me it’s a joke.

If that’s the case, survival would be a struggle, let alone destroying the country.

ㅤ

Calm down, me.

Be cool.

First, gather information.

ㅤ

I start up the Automata and approach the group that was talking earlier.

ㅤ

“Master?”

ㅤ

Leif is making a surprised face, but I don’t have the time to deal with him.

I quickly approach them and start a conversation.

ㅤ

“Could you tell me more about that story?”

“Huh? What do you want to hear, miss?”

“It’s about the hero’s debut ceremony. I just arrived in city and I don’t know about it.”

ㅤ

It’s a relief that the voice of the Automata is inorganic, so I don’t have to worry about voice trembling.

If it was my main body, I would have had to make a great mental effort to disguise it.

ㅤ

“Ah, I see. You’re a traveling adventurer. It’s no wonder you don’t know.”

“Do you also have a grudge against the Demon Lord?”

“Well, something like that.”

Let’s settle for that.

Actually, it’s not that I don’t hold a grudge against the Demon Lord.

I didn’t like it when my sanctuary was trespassed without permission.

The difference in power was so desperate that I couldn’t even complain.

ㅤ

“Alright! Then let me tell you!

Four days ago, the King issued a decree to the whole capital.

Our country has finally succeeded in summoning the legendary heroes. They said we can win the war against the Demon Lord.”

“And, five days later at noon, that is, tomorrow, there will be a ceremony to present the heroes at the Church of the Goddess.”

“It’s going to be a huge festival! After all, preparations are underway all over the capital!”

ㅤ

These guys were drunk and talking quite freely.

Come to think of it, the capital was quite noisy.

I see.

That was the preparation for the Hero Festival.

ㅤ

“Thank you for telling me.”

“It’s not something worth thanking us for.”

“That’s right. Your grudge will surely be cleared by the heroes!”

“. . .I see. Then, excuse me.”

ㅤ

I moved the Automata away from the drunkards and back to where Leif was seated.

While I was talking, it seemed that Leif had finished eating his kid’s meal, so we went straight to the inn on the second floor.

We booked one room for two again.

ㅤ

“Please be quiet for a bit.”

ㅤ

I sat on one of the beds and told Leif.

Then I detached my consciousness from the Automata and started operating another Automata, a Mamori-chan doll, inside the dungeon.

ㅤ

“Demon Lord-sama, I have a report.”

ㅤ

From the mouth of the Mamori-chan doll, an almost identical voice to mine, emitted.

Hearing this, the Automata placed opposite the Mamori-chan doll, the Chaos-chan doll, reacts.

ㅤ

“What is it, Mamori? I was in the middle of a nap.”

ㅤ

This Demon Lord is so composed.

ㅤ

“I have obtained important information, so I report.

In the Kingdom of Wolfeus, there is to be a ceremony to present the heroes.”

“. . .Hmm. So the heroes have finally arrived. Good work, Mamori. Tell me in detail.”

“Yes.”

ㅤ

And so, I told the Chaos-chan doll as much information about the heroes as we currently knew.

But to tell you the truth, there isn’t much information.

All we know is that at noon tomorrow, there will be a presentation ceremony at the Church of the Goddess in the capital of Wolfeus Kingdom.

I also told them about my prediction.

ㅤ

“And, this is just a guess, but I don’t think the heroes are very strong yet.”

“Hm? Why do you think that?”

“It’s simple. If the heroes were powerful enough to be called a mighty force, there would be no reason for them not to come and subdue the Goblin Lord.”

ㅤ

If there were heroes of the same rank as me in the extermination team led by that old man, I’m sure we would have been cornered.

No, if that were the case, they wouldn’t have let the Goblin Lord escape to the second floor, and they might have just returned.

But that didn’t happen.

The heroes did not come, even though an emergency situation was occurring with the senior members of the Demon Lord’s army inside the country.

Doesn’t that mean that the heroes are still weak with low Lv?

That’s the kind of speculation that can be made.

ㅤ

And actually, it’s only been two weeks since the extermination arrived.

No matter how cheat-like the growth rate of the heroes is, they should not have reached a Lv that can fight the Demon Lord in such a short period of time.

ㅤ

“I see. In that case, it’s best to crush them while they’re weak.

Good! I will go myself!

I’ll also bring the executives who are nearby.

Let’s make a bloodbath of the heroes!”

ㅤ

Oh, this is an unexpected development.

The heroes are done for.

But if possible, I hope my prediction is wrong and they will fall with the Demon Lord.

Well, I don’t think that’s likely.

ㅤ

“Mamori, I am going to prepare now and use the function of the Chaos-chan doll to jump to your dungeon.

Therefore, prepare the guide to the royal capital.”

“Understood.”

“Also, if the hero is still weak, some of the Twelve Apostles might be escorting him.

Be careful if you have to fight.”

“Yes.”

ㅤ

I see.

There’s a high chance that some of the Twelve Apostles are escorting the hero.

I overlooked that.

I need to be careful.

ㅤ

Well then, shall I start preparing?

I began to move to set up the sudden hero versus Demon Lord battle.
