Night of the Braves – 1
At first I was going to replace it with renting a bigger room, but I quickly changed my mind.
Considering the number that Ardwin will bring, even a fairly large room is not enough.
So I went down to the first floor and talked with the innkeeper.
“Are there any other guests tonight besides us?”
The owner responded with a force to lie flat on the floor.
“There is only the hero and his companions. I deliberately did not accept other guests.”
Please don’t say that with a face like that.
I said scratching my head.
“Then can I borrow the whole inn for the night? For this amount.”
“Hey, this is going to be difficult.”
“ah. It must have been too little.”
“no! It means you can’t get this.”
He politely pushed the bag of money.
“Without you, there would be no empire or me. In other words, this inn would not have existed.”
“… … .”
“By protecting mankind, the hero also protected this inn. Please feel free to use it.”
“Go, thank you.”
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“no. Rather, I’d like you to stay away. There are a lot of people to call at the inn.”
The owner bowed his head deeply, saying he would certainly do that.
I slipped the bag of money into the owner’s bag before he left.
Neryl noticed and said.
“You are very different from before. If it was the first time we met, I think it would have been a waste of wasting money for retirement.”
“You too are changing to look good, but if it’s just me, I’ll use it.”
“Do I look good?”
“Uh, yes.”
“Huhu.”
Neryl smiled pleasantly.
Serena, on the other hand, opened her mouth with a face that was very uncomfortable.
“Are we starting soon? You keep going the other way.”
“okay. Ardwin.”
Ardwin nodded.
He no longer sang or uttered special spells.

Just like Florence did, he said and flicked his fingers lightly.And just that alone filled the halls of this inn.
Already, thanks to Ardwin’s spell, we were able to see the soul.
However, they were a little different from the souls I had seen so far.
Xenia groaned.
“Who is it? those people.”
“yes? Of course, these are the souls you requested.”
“It sounds like something an employee would say when a dish is served.”
“It’s a metaphor that a real sister can do.”
“I mean, it’s a little different from the souls I usually see. It’s not like a bluish flame, but it has eyes, nose, mouth, and limbs.”
Yes.
Except that they looked a little blurry, those souls were in human form.
Ardwin explained.
“The reason the spirits summoned by the necromancer are in that flame form is because they are the closest to the soul necromancers can imagine.”
“… … .”
“I have a deeper understanding of the soul as my reputation has increased this time. It is not a job to bring them back to their original form now.”
“Huh.”
“Besides, you will be able to communicate without going through me. Talk to me, bro.”
I scanned the souls once again.
They were all faces I had only seen in history books, but there were souls that felt a little closer.
Invited Hero Grade.
The 2nd hero Lephia and the hero Iori.
The 3rd hero Leon and the hero Beyond.
They were suddenly called in and had a very bewildered expression on their face.
damn.
I clapped lightly.
“everyone. Everyone please pay attention.”
“Mr. Maid! It’s been a while.”
“Oh my god. Are you going to call the master first?”
“Hey, nice to meet you. Are you using the bell well?”
I smiled and continued speaking to the warriors I was particularly pleased with.
“As you can see, you gathered here are the warriors and heroes who saved mankind in the past.”
“… … .”
“I am a newcomer, Maid Mohan. Next to me are my colleagues.”
I glanced at the party members.
They are party members whose livers have grown bloated by going through arrogant things with me, but they seem a bit nervous in front of the names I’ve been hearing from my ears since I was a kid.
They introduced themselves a little stiffly.
Except for Neryl, who, of course, shows the same attitude in front of anyone.
After the party members finished their introduction, I opened my mouth again.
“I made this place because I have a respectful request from you.”
“for a moment.”
Then, Grade raised his hand.
“yes. I will arrange a seat for you with Ressel later.”
“Thank you for that… … No, that’s why I didn’t stop talking.”
“Of course you would.”
“👀. Now I can’t even say that I’m arrogant. you have become incredibly strong I can’t even reach my toes.”
Then, the eyes of the 17 warriors and heroes, excluding Grade, were focused.
Grade continues.
“Anyway, this is what I was trying to say. Shouldn’t there be no alcohol in this place?”
“yes? uh… … Can you drink?”
“I don’t know. I think you have to try it, so bring a drink.”
At that time, Lephia unexpectedly agreed with the end of the grade.
“I’m not really a drinker, but I think there’s some truth to what Grade-sama said.”
“Lefia-sama.”
“This place is, in a word, a miracle.”
“… … .”
“This is a position that only Mr. Maid can create. There has never been a place like this in the past, and there will probably never be a place like this in the future.”
That’s right.
Lephia spoke in a sweet and warm voice, as she always had for me.
“Let me celebrate this moment. Mr. Maid.”
“It is a very sensible thing to say. Mr. Lefia. I fell in love with you again today.”
“I told you not to say things like that in the presence of people. Mr. Iori.”
“yes… … .”
“no. There’s no way I’m going to die like that.”
Beyond smiles and intervenes.
“The atmosphere of the 2nd party is very different from ours. Leon.”
“Weren’t we pretty warm too?”
“It was heartwarming. Because it was an atmosphere of caring for children with the feeling of putting them on the waterfront.”
“Ah what. There were no children at our party.”
“You’re just talking.”
It was then that Lissel’s voice was heard.
She was already greeting the invited party members.
Because Lissel was also a member of the invitation party.
“Then I should prepare the dishes.”
“Fufu. Magna-sama’s cooking, how much does it cost?”
“I don’t know if Hermes-sama will be able to eat it.”
“It will be fun enough just to see it with your own eyes.”
The banquet was prepared unexpectedly.
I put gold coins on the counter for my drink and brought a whole keg from the kitchen.
Lissel made a simple dish, and the rest of the party brought plates and utensils.
When the bustling preparations are over, everyone is staring at me.
tuk.
Neryl slapped me on the back.
“what are you doing. Say something.”
“Eh? I?”
“You are the organizer. of this banquet.”
“… … .”
“what’s the matter?”
“Because I’m a little impatient.”
It started with just one mercenary.
Before returning, I had no choice but to retire by playing my role in the Caled Party properly, killing the Demon King and getting old-age funds from the Emperor.
But now, starting from the trail, he has become a warrior with great companions.
Even the warriors and heroes of the past have a glass of wine in front of them, waiting for my mouth to open.
Whoops.
I picked up a drink.
“Are all the glasses full?”
“Well. But I don’t think I can drink it either.”
“it’s okay. Please drink with all your heart.”
“You’re making unreasonable demands.”
I cried.
“For the hard work of those who dedicated themselves to the world.”
Cheers.
The banquet went on for quite some time.
I unraveled the secrets of the world from time to time, little by little, taking care not to disturb the atmosphere.
Everyone was surprised.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone was happy and sad.
Was it because the vortex of emotions was so great?
In fact, it was only our party that drank alcohol, but the atmosphere was deep and close to drunkenness.
“Heh heh. Padania you bastard… … Somehow, I couldn’t find it anywhere in the underworld.”
“That’s what we believed and depended on.”
“Honestly, he was a little weird. It feels like my heart is somewhere else.”
“The people of the Continent will no longer be in awe of us. It’s not something I was hoping for, but it’s bittersweet.”
The Heroes of the 4th Party are very portraits.
Lephia comforted them.
“Don’t think that way. Regardless of whether Padania is a fake warrior, it doesn’t change that you are the heroes who fought the Demon Lord of Desolation.”
“Isn’t that demon king also a fake after all?”
“But your struggles that risked your life to protect people are not fake.”
“Look. Mr. Lefia. Can I hold your hand just once? I respect you from the beginning.”
“Die.”
“Iori-san, stay still. Here it is.”
Also, looking at the third generation, Leon was drooping like a drunkard.
Beyond puts his forehead on his forehead and says.
“You are still drunk.”
“You didn’t drink? hiccup.”
“Then you got drunk just by the smell?”
“Can I wear it for a moment?”
“Come, come. Hey, isn’t this Ort-sama? Hey, senior, wake up because you’re here.”
“I feel like my head is going to break… … .”
“it’s okay. Let him rest.”
I silently observed the commotion of these warriors and heroes.
something fresh
I… … No, everyone on this continent grew up hearing the names of the people in front of them from a young age.
Great men who have accomplished such great feats that it is impossible to even look up to them one by one.
‘However.’
Naturally, they were human too.
Although they say their personality and abilities are extraordinary, they are fundamentally the same person.
I thought as I felt the heat of the hot drinking party with my whole body.
‘Isn’t that the same feeling for the warriors I haven’t met, who are ahead of the Impelium?’
no. Not only them.
There will be heroes in other worlds I don’t know about. Their party members will be there.
If you go back in time, you will find infinite heroes.
In the future, there will be infinite warriors in the future.
For a moment, I felt distant.
‘Is this correct? Is this system correct?’
I stopped the accident once there.
Let’s put it aside for now.
Gotta get to the point.
“everyone. Please pay attention for a moment.”
“Hey, be quiet. You have something to tell you.”
“Isn’t that a senior, not a junior? As Maid explained earlier.”
“Honestly, I’m still confused.”
“At first, Maid isn’t just a hero, is he? You are the god of this world.”
“Due to his personality, he can’t do troublesome things like a god. Maybe that’s why he was demoted and became a hero again?”
who is the last
Grader.
[haha. Well, in your character, how would you manage the world? I’m too lazy to do it.]
‘… … .’
[By the way, what will happen to you when this fight is over? Are you going to return to the position of the master of the world again?]
‘Well.’
Actually, there was a flash of light about it a while ago, but I don’t think I’ll reveal it now.
Anyway I said
“During the banquet, I told you all the secrets of the world. At least to the best of my knowledge.”
“… … .”
“Do you have any more questions?”
Everyone looked at each other’s faces.
Soon they shook their heads as if promised.
Lephia spoke as the representative.
“There is nothing. Oh, I have to say one thing.”
“Something.”
“What are you going to do now? They say it takes ten million fame to kill a man named Action.”
“That’s a good question. Lephia.”
I took a light deep breath.
As they are all warriors and heroes, they must know how important fame is.
So it’s even harder to say.
“I was talking about the demon king Velocian, but he can deceive the world with his powers and pass on his fame.”
“yes?”
“You still have a high reputation because you haven’t gone to another world. So I mean.”
“… … .”
“Lend me your reputation for a moment.”
I said that and tried to bow my head deeply.
But before he could even bend his back, he heard Grade’s voice.
“What is it?”
“It’s also difficult… … Yeah? I beg your pardon?”
“I will lend you.”
Grad spoke sternly.
“I wanted to set the mood and say something, but that’s just it.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, I’m dead. You don’t have to be obsessed with the fame you had while you were alive.”
His voice didn’t show any detachment at all.
There is only humility.
It wasn’t that Grade had made a huge decision to hand over the fame to me.
To him, ‘Now that I am dead, I don’t need fame’ was a natural fact that did not need to be exaggerated.
‘indeed… … .’
This is the image of a warrior I should imitate.
