0 – The Weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings
“Heh heh, that guy was the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings.”
The weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings. He was someone whose physical strength and magical powers were both insufficient.
He was so tender-hearted that he would become gloomy for days at a wilted flower he had watered, occasionally staring into space and shedding tears.
“Pfft, are you seriously proud of yourself for defeating just that one guy? You should wake up from your dream~.”
He was really clueless. If he had asked me for help, I would’ve hooked him up with a few decent meat shields.
Well, he was easy prey for his own underlings to deceive; perhaps he found it easier to be alone.
“Tsk, to be defeated by mere humans. It’s a disgrace to the Four Heavenly Kings.”
When that guy was luckily seated as the lowest of the Four Heavenly Kings, I thought he’d be killed or fall out quickly.
The position of the Four Heavenly Kings was not light enough for a frail one to last long.
“He was the weakest among us.”
“Incredibly foolish with his kindness.”
“The lowest of us.”
He was weak. It was questionable how such a feeble guy could ever become one of the Four Heavenly Kings. He was lacking.
And so, we underestimated him. Demonkind revered strength, and we believed that only personal power could truly justify a demon’s proud existence.
To us, such fools,
He taught us what true strength was.
Instead of getting angry when he realized his subordinate’s excuse was a lie, he smiled with relief that nothing worse had happened.
He was the one who raised his voice before the Demon Lord, pleading for better treatment of the lower-ranking demons.
He was the first to throw himself into the fray when we were hesitating.
That was Lain.
“I will make you pay for killing that guy.”
He was definitely the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings.
So, as the weakest among us, he showed us─.
“Come at me, hero.”
The strongest will.

“Hey, what’s wrong with those guys?”
It’s somewhat touching.
I’m still alive, aren’t I?
“Well, hero. What would happen if you fall?”
First, I need to help the hero.
