238. No hero, I’m just (2)
“Hero’s room?”
“That’s right.”
Odelia paused for a moment as if digging through her memory.
“You may or may not have heard of it. If I don’t remember it right, I probably don’t know.”
Odelia concluded that ambiguous memories are memories that do not exist. It seemed that he was confident in his memory.
Certainly, there are very few people in this world who know about the existence of the ‘Hero’s Room’.
At most, the king, the principal of the Warriors, or the vice principal.
Odelia hadn’t formally succeeded to become king yet, so there must be many things that a king doesn’t know yet.
Because she is only a ‘temporary’ king.
“The Dae-Hero’s party subdued the Demon King and came back and became heroes. Some of them established academies and served as instructors and teachers.”
“I know that.”
“At that time, there is a sub-space created by the great sage Nastal. Legendary weapons used by great heroes are stored there. It’s top secret.”
“Hoo.”
Odelia was delighted, saying it was very good news. I didn’t ask for details. The important thing was that I knew the means to help subdue the demon lord.
“That… … Are you going to take it out?”
“That’s right.”
Originally, those weapons could not be taken out carelessly. Even if you want to take it out in the first place, the weapon will reject anyone who tries to touch it.
However, sometimes there are cases where the armed forces choose the right person.
Like Acheron who chose Ackerman or Swordfish who chose Cain.
Now that it’s the final chapter, in the case of Fonte, Hoya, and Bell and Odelia, they should have been ready to choose their weapons.
This is the plan I had in mind from the first time I saw the hero’s room. In the original game, I finished the final spec up through the hero’s room in the first place.
However, this time I intend to rob more than the game.
If it was the end of the game with one item per person, this time I was thinking of collecting as many items as I could. I intend to literally wipe it out.
The most important thing in subjugating the demon lord is not me, but the support of my colleagues.
In the end, killing the Demon Lord is Ackerman’s ‘Way of the Hero’ trait.
I only assist Ackerman with ‘Eye of Entero’.
maybe… … .
‘There must be something else I really have to do.’
The important thing is the story outside the main story.
The variables that occur when killing the demon king. It’s my job to catch it.
When my friends are in danger of dying, it’s my job to stand up and prevent the story from collapsing.
This point should be made clear.
When I first landed here, I was just helping the final chapter from the standpoint of an extra, just as I originally set out to do.
‘Of course, this is just my idea.’
In reality, you have to shut up to know.
Even so, it might lead to a strange development where I kill the demon king or save the world.
“As expected, you had a plan. It’s really great.”
Odelia smiled in satisfaction. Her eyes half-opened and drew a pretty curve.
“It is overrated. It’s a sub-space that I was lucky to find out… … .”
A lot of things happened there.
“no. If you succeed in subduing the demon lord and protect the human kingdom with this, then you have accomplished a very great thing.”
Odelia came up to me and gently grabbed my shoulder.
“At that time. You will become the hero of Aeonia.”
hero.
At those words, I felt something burning in my chest.
I was the one who thoroughly enjoyed ＜Warriors Kingdom＞. The word hero contains romance and romance.
i become a hero The feeling was subtle, but I couldn’t control the joy.
but still You must not be vigilant until the end. Becoming a hero is a title that can be obtained only after defeating the demon lord and returning safely.
“No hero, I just… … .”
“If you become a hero, then you must become my husband.”
“… … ?”
Odelia intercepted my words. It’s like you don’t want to hear any more.
“To be serious. It’s a joke. You wouldn’t have been popular with women if it wasn’t for that handsome face.”
She just let out a subtle smile and sat down at the night sky seen through the window.
* * *
Finally, all the members of the party of warriors who will kill the demon king have gathered.
“ha ha ha… … ! It’s weird to see everyone come together like this! Excited too! I don’t feel it. Ahaha… … !”
It was the middle of the night, so it was quiet, but as expected, Hoya didn’t keep his mouth still. It seems rather excited to be in front of the queen.
‘Is my brain broken?’
Odelia hates talking nonsense like Hoya. I’ve actually seen him say shut up a few times in the game.
“Hoya. You need to be serious.”
Ponte, whose arm muscles stand out from his sleeveless leather armor, scolded Hoya. Hoya shrinks for a moment, then opens his mouth again.
“Hey, my queen. So, what is the reason we are here???”
The reason Hoya was so excited was simple.
A warriors party with the queen?
Can’t you just imagine there’s something there? There was no particular reason. It’s just that the fact itself made me feel like a great person.
“The reason we are here today is because we have something to give you.”
Odelia answered with a slight frown as if she was tired of Hoya already.
“But here… … .”
“Do you have anything?”
Ackerman also chimed in.
Yes, it was just an empty lot. It is just a small park that can be found anywhere in the academy.
You wouldn’t have imagined that there is a ‘Hero’s Room’ where the weapons of the great heroes of the past are stored in a place like this.
Only Cain or Siana knew why they had come here, so they were calmly waiting.
“Aren-kun?”
Odelia pointed at me.
As if I had waited, I opened the door to the subspace.
When the door opened, the guys who didn’t know the existence of this place screamed.
“Wow!”
“what!?”
“This was at the academy… … ?”
The reason they were surprised wasn’t just because a mysterious door that didn’t exist suddenly appeared.
It must be because of the lofty aura that is felt beyond the door, which is weak but whose end is unknown.
Because they were stronger now, I was able to notice that kind of energy right away.
It was nothing else, but a weapon used by great heroes and other characters who might have left a line in history.
If you can’t feel anything, that’s weird.
-It’s been a while. I didn’t want to come in again. If you come near here, you can smell Regalug’s stench.
While Odelia was explaining this and that, Acheron spoke quietly.
‘you. Can you smell it?’
– It’s a parable! Metaphor! Anyway, it’s because I’m a possessor who doesn’t make jokes. That’s why it wasn’t popular in real life! You need to be less serious, you!
‘… … .’
Wow, it hits the bone all of a sudden.
Odelia said the same thing.
Are you real? uh? Was it because of this?
“The explanation was enough. Go in at once.”
I entered the hero’s room slightly wounded by the unexpected factual violence.
.
.
.
.
.
“… … Wow!”
Everyone had the same reaction.
First of all, I was surprised that the weapons here were used by legendary characters, and I was surprised twice that such a huge subspace existed in the academy.
Lastly, the force emanating from these arms. In other words, even if you haven’t used it, you can’t help but be surprised because its crazy performance touches your skin.
“Originally, arms grow together with the user and increase their abilities, but we can’t afford that right now.”
Odelia’s voice echoed within subspace.
“It’s something we shouldn’t do to take the arms of great heroes in history, but I think they’ll understand what’s going on.”
It is not right to do this without proper qualifications.
Obviously, it was, but since he had the heavy duty of subjugating the demon lord, he was in no position to cover it up.
The highest priority is to protect the human kingdom by all means.
“I heard that Mugu chooses its master. Stand in front one by one and take the test.”
It was complicated to explain this and that, so he said that Odelia knew everything about this place and opened it with Odelia’s authority.
Who discovered it, and how did you find out? It was because it seemed like the year would pass if I gave a detailed explanation.
Of course, Cain and Siana, who knew all the details, were quietly walking next to me.
“Then I’ll come and look around.”
It was like shopping. Cain has already obtained the top-notch item called Sword Fish, but the more weapons, the better. It was probably what Swordfish was talking about.
“yes. Have a good look.”
Cain left like that.
“What about Siana? Can I not go around?”
Siana still sighed and hummed beside me and did not fall apart.
“yes? oh I’m fine~”
There are certainly many things that Shiana could covet.
Even if it wasn’t a weapon, Nastal’s sorcery book or various rare artifacts would be enough to arouse interest, but what the hell is this attitude of not being interested at all?
“why?”
When I asked with a tilt of my head, Shiana clung to me and whispered in my ear.
“… … Hey, I’m actually making a bigger magic wand thanks to Aren!”
Since Shiana became the ‘Great Wizard of Time’, the amount of time she didn’t come out of her room alone increased.
Although it has decreased recently, there was often time to eat with me after class, but there is no such thing these days.
It was all because of making that staff.
“How great is that?”
Looking at the reaction, it seemed like it was definitely different from making it in the game.
The characteristic of ‘time’ will be different, and the performance will definitely be superior to basic elemental magic.
“Um… … . I’ll show you when it’s done! Aren first!”
“Hey,” Shiana smiled brightly.
A wand made by a genius magical girl… … .
This usually doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Perhaps the ‘key’ for subduing the demon lord and having a clean ending might be in her hands.
“okay. Cheer up, Siana.”
“Yes! thank you!”
I know that after Odelia lost me (?), Siana, Cain, and Bell held separate meetings.
I don’t know what they talked about, but given that the three of them are doing well and that they don’t talk about it, it seems like they decided to keep it to themselves.
Anyway, subduing the demon lord was the priority task, so it seemed that he wanted to focus more on this.
‘thank god.’
The new warrior party members were actively walking around looking at various weapons. I don’t know if I dare to use the word ‘sight’ as an adjective.
“Wow! Look at this! It’s Suarin’s storm bow, Gesh’em!”
Hoya jumped and shouted.
As expected, Hoya listened to Geshem.
According to the story of the game, Hoya seems to succeed Suarin, the sniper of the Great Hero Party.
Geshem was a legendary bow that created arrows with wind and created storms.
This item is more than enough to make up for Hoya’s poor handling.
Hoya will be tested by Geshm several times before being selected.
Cyana and I passed Hoya, and this time we moved towards Ponte.
Fonte’s little eyes were shining fiercely.
It was strange that he couldn’t turn his eyes because he was a terrible equipment geek.
“Five… … !!! Hehehe!”
The appearance of cheering at just that level, enough that no one else could hear it. At the same time, he hurriedly took stock in fear that anyone would hear.
“Poop… … ! Aren give me a pinch quickly… … !”
Seeing that incongruous appearance, Shiana squeezed my arm and tried her best to hold back the burst of laughter.
I also turned my back with Sianna and suppressed a laugh.
It’s such a big size, observing each weapon and being delighted like a child. The laughter bell itself!
Anyway, the weapon Ponte focused on was a spear that overflowed with rather ominous energy.
“This… … ! I think I can hear some kind of voice.”
The spear that Ponte picked up with twinkling eyes was a demonic spear, a Doombreaker.
The Doombreaker was a weapon obtained by ‘Semistian’, who served as a tank for the Great Hero’s party, while breaking through the Pandemonium.
In fact, the large object, which could not even be called a spear, periodically erupted with powerful waves from the blade, and thanks to that, it was able to deflect all approaching opponents.
As much as the output, it will not be pushed by any weapon.
It is a powerful weapon that can attack and defend at the same time.
Ponte reached out to see if he liked Doombreaker. But I won’t allow it easily from the beginning.
It is said that Semistian has tamed it, but it will take some time since it is originally a demonic spear.
Cain got a sword fish a long time ago, so there was no special weapon to get now.
She was just wandering around and picking out artifacts to help her.
Of course, the weapons he chose as an aid were also incredibly powerful.
Cain’s spec up was also expected.
Same with Ackerman.
In the first place, the episode in the Hero’s Room was for the spec-up of Cain, Ponte, and Hoya, so there was nothing that Ackerman could acquire.
He had already acquired Acheron, and since he had even acquired the Three Gods, there was nothing more to gain. But it’s not in the game right now, so if you can choose, it’s better to take as many as you can.
Akerman was diligently examining this and that, following Acheron’s advice.
Since Acheron is attached, I will choose the most useful one. Ackerman wouldn’t have to worry about it.
“Aren’t you choosing a saintess candidate?”
Bell also caught up with me before I knew it.
“yes. I intend to bring the necessary things from the Holy See. There are no artifacts that suit me here.”
Bell slowly explained to Siana’s question.
Certainly Bell has nothing to gain here. Now that the Pope was vacant, Bell had the most authority in the Church of Light.
If you want to, you can get all the holy relics and items in the church, so there was nothing to regret here.
Even if you only count the finest holy relics in the Vatican, you won’t be fooled by this place.
Bell had already told her what to bring for vacation, so she had no worries.
So, after watching for a while, Bell caught up with me.
Although Shiana’s heart felt a little uncomfortable, it was quiet for the time being since the peace negotiations were concluded.
While walking around the hero’s room while maintaining a bit of tension, I heard a voice from behind.
“Arren-kun.”
“… … ?”
Me and the two people next to me turned around in unison. It was a solemn voice that could not be heard without looking back.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Standing there was Odelia staring at me with her arms crossed.
“Is there any armament you would recommend to me?”
He must have grown up seeing all kinds of gold and silver treasures and rare items in the royal castle of Odeliya. However, he asked me for a recommendation, as if it was regrettable to come here and return empty-handed.
Since I was aware of the existence of this place, I think I must have known something useful.
I read ‘boundary’ in Sianna and Bell’s eyes. But I couldn’t refuse that request. Neither of them had any reason to do so.
“sure. Please follow me.”
“Thank you.”
Eventually, three people came to accompany me.
According to the game, Odelia also had something to gain from this place.
Odelia was neither a member of the warriors’ party nor a combat type, so she had something else to bring.
A helmet passed down as a legend among cadets in the command line.
‘Decanmonium.’
There is a story that if you wear that helmet and lead a war, you will surely win.
Looking at the game’s ability alone, it was stated that when used, the Luck stat +3, plus a huge correction in the direction of intelligence or judgment.
In addition, it has the ability to supplement physical strength or nullify long-distance attacks, so if you are dreaming of becoming a commander, it is a dream weapon at all.
“Hoo.”
As expected, Odelia’s eyes sparkled when she introduced the Deccanminium.
Since he must have read the helmet’s abilities through the eyes of a sage, it was natural for him to react that way.
“Also. Aren-kun knows nothing.”
Even though Odelia’s tone was somewhat like that of an old woman, her expression and happy expression were exactly that of a girl of her age.
It was freshness itself.
It’s hard to notice, but obviously the youngest person here is Odelia. In fact, it means that he is the youngest to take all the cuteness to himself.
Of course, maybe they didn’t like Odelia, who was friendly with me, but Shiana and Bell on either side kept their mouths shut.
Even Ciana was pinching my forearm without anyone noticing.
It’s kind of ticklish, but such cute jealousy. My heart hurts a little.
Shopping is over. I arrived in the morning, but when I came out, the sun was setting.
It seemed that everyone was satisfied with good weapons.
It seemed that ‘setting’ was being applied, and there were no more than three artifacts that each person took with them.
“Hmmmm. nice Have you all packed everything you need?”
Odelia must have liked the helmet so much that she had already put it on and deliberately spoke in a husky voice.
“yep!”
Got an S-class item for free. If you’re not excited, that’s weird.
That’s how the warrior party finished the spec up.
All that was left now depended on how well the demon lord got used to the weapons and how well he trained them before he began to act.
We exchanged simple greetings and are about to break up for today, but Siana stabs me in the side.
“what’s the matter? Siana?”
“Yes, Aren. Aren doesn’t take anything?”
A face full of curiosity.
Sianna had been by my side from the beginning, so she knew I didn’t pack anything.
I took out the purifier and showed it to Siana.
“I want to get closer to him.”
The holy sword is S-class among S-class.
For me, it was more important to handle this guy perfectly than any other weapon.
* * *
… … is a lie
Of course, the most important thing was to handle the purifier perfectly, but that doesn’t mean that I was an idiot to skip over the hero’s room sweep event.
‘I’m not even Hogu.’
Early morning when everyone is asleep.
I found the hero’s room alone.
