Sometimes among the Demon race, unique individuals praised as the âBraveâ are born. They protect their races with their outstanding abilities and lead them towards development.Among them, a particularly great person takes the name of âDemon Kingâ and leads the entirety of the Demons.The likes of Jinba raceâs Fernel or Shishioni raceâs Dogg are substantially of lower stature than Demon King-sama, but are still existences suitable to be called as the Brave of their respective races.But I was reincarnated as an ordinary Werewolf, so itâs different.
On the other hand, Braves also exist among humans. Among them, the humans call the one having enough power to rival the Demon King as the âHeroâ.We also sometimes call our comrades as heroes, but the âHeroâ of the humans is an official title recognized countrywide. No matter how long one has served, no one is allowed to call oneself a âHeroâ on their own.
âIs that so, a HeroâŚâLearning about the situation, Airia murmurs with a slightly uneasy expression. She is also currently on the Demonâs side, so the Hero is the enemy.Technical Officer Kurtz of Ryujin race, who is in attendance asked this to Airia.âI have been wondering for quite a while now that why is the Brave with equal ranking as the Demon King not called âBrave Kingâ but âHeroâ instead?â(TN: Yuusha: Brave Person, Yuuou: Brave King, Eiyuu: Brave, check the featured comment below for more info)âAh, let me answerâ\n
Since Airia looked worried, I decided to answer in her stead.
âThe Demons revere the strong as their King, but the Humans are different. Basically, only the ones with the Kingâs bloodline is able to become the King. If you donât like that, then you donât have a choice but to build a country yourself or steal it from others. Thatâs why the Hero canât become the King.ââHmm, itâs a strange story.âTechnical Officer Kurtz taking notes looks puzzled.âIf itâs not a strong individual, he wonât survive a situation of crisis. Once the weak King falls, what happens then?ââOnly the descendant of the King will become the next King.ââWhat is the point in that?âSince I was born in democracy, I donât know about that.
Then Airia raised her head, and continued like this.âRoyals and Nobles learn the knowledge and technique required to rule the populace. If one is only arrogantly incompetent, then no one would follow along. That kind of country would fall eventually.âAs expected of the leader of a city-state, there is no hesitation in the explanation.
âAlso, the Hero not being the leader of the country, has a particular advantage.ââWhy is that?â \nâThe Hero can invade the enemy camps and couldnât care less for the dangers upon himself. Even if he is defeated, the King can still lead the populace.ââI see⌠so itâs a very easy to understand explanation.âTo see Human Airia and Ryujin Kurtz engaged in such an exchange, is quite amusing.
Oh, it isnât the time to be amused.The opponent is the Hero, in other words Human version of the Demon king.Naturally, we, the ordinary demons donât stand a chance.Once in a while, a person with insufficient ability or bad luck gets killed by low ranked demons, and is treated as the âTragic Braveâ, but in reality they have almost no chance of winning.
According to the report brought by Technical Officer Kurtz, the Hero is currently somewhere in the Northern war front.The Second Division has continued to scatter due to the prolonging war, the isolated troops are continuing to self-sufficiently resist, with guerilla warfare in various places.Changing the perspective, after being lost, they are ruined like thieves, subjugated by the Hero one after another.
Because the isolated troops canât successfully receive communications, it seems it took quite a long time for the Demon army to notice the Hero. Since Demons were completely annihilated.Thanks to that the important information, like the abilities or the appearance of the Hero, could not be obtained at all.I was more and more disinclined towards participating in the Northern war front, but there is one thing I canât turn blind eye to. \nOnce it becomes peaceful, partnering with Demon King-sama, I will start some business.
But before that, it seems a little bit of bloody business is absolutely necessary.
