I had carefully chosen my choice of words and concealed my true information in order to avoid any embarrassment, butâŚ
I had no idea that I would step on a minefield of strange names.
âWaitâŚwait, what do you mean by Demon LordâŚ?â
âI thought you were a nobleman, but youâre not! Look! Youâre all black! Your clothes are black, your shoes are black, your hair is black! And if you look closely, even your eyes are black! Itâs just like from the story!â
âNo, wait⌠but yeah, he is indeed black all over, are you reallyâŚâ
Mei-chan and Zink-kun were getting excited regardless of what I said.
Potta-kun was left out, but I didnât have time to worry about that now.
What the hell is this? Demon Lord? âŚAre there Demon Lords in this world? No, wait, there might be. After all, this is a fantasy world with demons, magic, and skills.
It is not strange at all for a Demon Lord to exist. Do they as the last boss? Does that mean that I was called to this world for this reason?
No wayâŚto play the role of Hero to defeat Demon LordâŚ? Did Acorn Head give me such a big role? But I have no sense of justice. So, why? A hero is a just a righteous person, right?
A guy who thinks with his gut like me is not a Hero. But Acorn Head did say that he found me. Does that mean that somehow I got caught up in something and became a Hero without a sense of justice?
However, I surely asked if there were any cheat abilities, specifically Hero skills for that matter. And yet, Acorn Head didnât give it to me. What is the meaning of this?
Can I beat this Demon Lord without skills? No, no, if thatâs the case, why donât they just let the people of this world take care of it instead of going to the trouble of transferring someone from another world? I donât understand? Is there a Demon Lord that canât be defeated even with a Hero skill? Is that Demon Lord Loki?
Oh, I see, was that the reason why? Dropping me off in the forest, without giving me anything, may have been a difficulty test. Well, thinking about it, if I canât survive even something as simple as that, I wonât be able to defeat a Demon Lord.
Was that really the reason! That would make sense! Then the reason I came to this world isâŚ
âWhere is that all black Demon Lord?â
ââRight in front of us.ââ
âHey! Donât point fingers at me! No, thatâs not it, I mean the real Demon Lord Loki, the one you know!â
âThe Hero has already defeated him.â Zink
ââŚWhat?â Loki (Yuto)
So, I was not the Hero after all! What are you going to do about my wasted enthusiasm⌠itâs turned into airâŚ!
âHavenât you ever heard of the story of the Demon Lordâs defeat?â Mei
âWhere in the world is Loki from? Even in a small town like Bezart, there are at least five theatrical groups and bards that would play it in their visitâŚâ Zink
âI donât know anything about thatâŚâ Loki (Yuto)
âItâs the story of Hero Takuya defeating the Demon Lord, you know! And itâs like youâre doing an impersonation of Demon Lord Loki! Well, the Demon Lord was quite famous after all!â Mei
âI havenât seen them recently, but there were a few people in all black in the town of Bezart before.â Zink
