Part 1
「.......What is this?」\nStaring at that piece of paper which came to her hand, the girl said out the question that surfaced in her mind.\n「Didn’t you say you wanted to see a story that has yet to be seen before. So I made one for you. Are you happy?」\n「This drawing is done by stepmother?」\n「Yes. For someone who is not in this career, it should be considered as a remarkable work. I have worked very hard to draw it out.」\nShe gave a “fufu” sound, and a triumph expression was shown on her face. The girl turns her vision towards the thin piece of paper again.\nThe drawing depict a scene of a swordswoman with a courageous expression, facing against a demon who is probably the demon king. The drawing is a very time consuming work, but the story ended completely in 6 panels.\nThe girl indeed did said that she wanted to see a rare story, but this can’t be considered a story. Something like this, even a kid can think of it in 3 minutes. The legend of the hero fighting against the demon king is already very common. From this piece of paper, you can only see that the girl became a hero, and the demon king and the demons were defeated. Just that.\n「Please tell me, where is the rare and never been seen story? Maa, if you wanted to play me like a fool, then you have achieved your aim.」\n「Because this is the only copy of the story in this world. It is my favourite as well as my hated story. Is that complicated irony properly shown here?」\n「Completely didn’t. Please write it with more content, how about expanding it to two books worth of letters? If it is this, you can finish it in 3 seconds.」\n「The useless parts are all cut away, papers are a luxury you know. Isn’t this better!」\nShe reached out with her fingers and lightly flicked the girl’s forehead, her face revealed a smile like she did a prank.\nThe girl who felt that she had been played with, crumpled the paper into a ball and throw it on the ground. Stepmother’s work has become crumpled but the girl did not have any guilty feelings.\nThe courageous swordswoman’s expression seem to be twisted in pain, but there is probably an illusion in the girl’s eyes. Anyway her eyes are not good and her stepmother’s brain isn’t smart.\n「I am really grateful for creating a story for me, I have indeed received stepmother’s feelings.」\n「It is good that you understand. If you wish, I will write more for you. Then I am also quite busy. Don’t just keep studying, go out and have a walk occasionally.」\n「Yes, yes.」\n「Then pull the curtains apart. If you continue like this, it will not be good for your eyes——」\n「So noisy, hurry up and get out!」\n「Then good luck with your studies, Katarina “-chan”」\nLeaving these lines, the smiling woman leave while humming a tune.\nThe girl who was called Katarina”-chan” threw the paper that was rolled into a ball but the target has already closed the door.\nThe girl took a deep breath and adjusted her mental state. Although following her words makes herself angry but the girl still opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the room. The glaring sunlight made one unhappy. And her eyes felt very painful.\nThe girl stared that the crumpled paper for a while and then picked it up.\nShe pushed her glasses and sighed, then roughly shoved the paper into the drawer.\n◆\n「Oi! What are you doing!」\nThe girl’s hard work was rolled into a ball and thrown back at her own face. She was not only red in the face, but also raised her voice and shouted. Although it is called hard work, but it was only something that she created using 3 minutes while she hummed a song.\n「I am really sorry. Just a careless motion. Then if you are done, please return.」\n「It has not ended! I have already made an “application”, so hurry up and give the permit——」\nRaising a hand to stop the agitated girl, the woman at the counter used a monotonous voice and said.\n「This counter only attends to the people that has gotten the confirmation from the guild. It is not a place that attends to a brat like you from the village. If you entered the Labyrinth, you will die in 3 minutes, so wipe your tears and return. Shoo, shoo!」\nThe woman used her nose to laugh at the girl, while using her wrist to move like shoo-ing an insect at the girl.\nThe face of the girl who was laughed at, turned red like a tomato.\n「Th..this damn woman!」\n「Even so, but there are also many idiots that does not understand, so we will also introduce jobs for newcomers —— the window over the “side”. After looking at your history, they will introduce you to a suitable place. You can thank the star gods for compassion.」\nThe girl looked at the counter beside, there seems to be quite a party. From people who seems like they are male farmers, or guys that are full of muscles, or people who wear skirts, a stern monk, there are many types. And all of them seemed to have queued up for the sake of getting an introduction letter.\nThe girl who finds queueing up a hassle, hence made a beeline to this counter, and did not have other considerations.\n「Afterall you are also very bored, then help me write a recommendation letter.」\n「That is true. If you beg me, I can also help you write one. Lower your head properly, and said out the words that will satisfy me enough to help you write a recommendation letter. Then I will consider about it.」\nThis damn old hag! The girl cursed as much as she could in her heart. Although the woman at the counter not at the age where she should be called old, but she has a shitty attitude. Although the girl also want crumple up the application form and throw it at her, but she has to endure it. If not she ends up being unable to enter the labyrinth, then it will be bad.\n——Because she has no money.\n「......Pl..please.」\n「I didn’t hear anything.」\n「Pl..please, pl..please. The gu..guild introduction letter, pl..please write it…...」\n「Hmph— it can’t be helped. Who won’t write it if they were being begged with that sort of funny face. Today I could enjoy myself due to that funny face of yours ah, I will just write it for you for the sake for easing my boredom. Hmm, give me that rubbish like application form.」\nEndure endure, calm down, the girl endure the impulse to throw the application form over, opened the rolled up paper and handed it over.\n「Let me see. Your experiences. Oh『become a hero and kill the demon king for world peace』, incredible. Hmm, you forgot your name due to amnesia? Hohoho~ but being anonymous is kind of annoying, so let’s call you Yuusha. It must be tough having amnesia. I pity your brain from the bottom of my heart.」\n「...... that, thanks.」\n「There is no need for thanks, this is just sarcasm. Then for Yuusha-san who is delusional, I will give you the Warrior Guild’s recommendation. After all you don’t seem to know how to use magic. There are many types of people there, from those who are capable to those who are like trash. Maa, but most of them are trash. …...Okay, done.」\nAfter putting the anyhow written paper into an envelope, she threw it toward the girl—— Yuusha’s face. Then did the action of chasing her out again.\n「Hmph, bastard, I will remember it.」\nYuusha gave the sentence which most common villains often used. With her inner heart feeling like a beaten dog. I see, this are the feelings of the small fry that were beaten before.\n「Okay, next.」\nDon’t know where, but a man who was waiting to do his task stood behind Yuusha, he pushed away Yuusha with a face of anxiety.\n「Finally it’s my turn. You are in the way, get lost.」\n「O...ouch!」\nThis bastard! In an instant, the blood rushed to Yuusha’s head, but as her stomach has started growling so she could only endure it. If she waste anymore energy, she will definitely collapse.\nAiya aiya while sighing, Yuusha exited out from the something something church building.\nWhen she came out, she took a leaflet from the entrance. Knowing the necessary news is quite important.\nHer mind that has not been working, read through it roughly but she could not understand it after reading.\n「......what what, it is really meaningless.」\nSmall words has covered the entire leaflet tightly, she could only force herself to finish it. There should be more drawings and colors—— Yuusha strongly hoped. This leaflet is indeed very hard to read.\nShe endure the urge to destroy it and continued reading, and finally roughly understood what it is trying to say.\n—— The content of the leaflet is roughly this.\nIf you want to get the permission from the something church, first you must belong to a certain『Guild』in this Art Town.
There are all sorts of Guilds like Warrior Guild or Magician Guild. The principle is that you cannot choose. If there is any hope of joining, you should apply to the church.
If you have a certain strength and is acknowledged by the Guild, then you will be given the『Vocational Certificate』.
After you get the『Vocational Certificate』, then get the 『Exploration Permit』from the something something Association, then you will be able to adventure freely in the underground labyrinth.
 The demons hunted from the labyrinth should be brought back to the specific department and use it to exchange for money.
If you need a place to stay, then you can go and find『Gokurakutei』.Delicious food and famous liquor awaits you. Staying at my place can also increases the pace of the labyrinth exploration.
——above.\n「Isn’t the last one an advertisement. And it is called Gokurakutei. It gives off the feeling that you will soon die.」\nWhile she found that name familiar, she also shoved the leaflet into her bosom.\nKeeping the information in her mind, Yuusha began to walk towards her destination. A map was on the leaflet, so she roughly know the position. With a sturdy log that she picked up when she entered the streets, she used it a clutch.\nNow Yuusha completely doesn’t look like a person who is a 『hero』. With cheap cotton clothes, a log that is picked up from the roadside, perhaps even the farmers are dressed better—— at least they are holding farming tools that are made of metal.\nAnd Yuusha does not have any money. With no money, she also can’t have a meal. To her, other than fighting, she can’t think of any other methods of earning, but if she attacks humans then she is no different from a demon. So there is only the choice of going to the labyrinth. If killing demon can get money, then her stomach will also be filled. Then the world will be at peace. All of it will be good, so there will be not any problems.\nAs the killing intent of Yuusha towards the demons heightened, a certain voice from who knows where, joined her.\n「Th..that—」\n「Ahh, I have no energy. So troublesome. Even breathing is so troublesome…...」\n「S..sorry!」\nA young tall female called out to her from the sides, but Yuusha continued on without caring about it.\n「Is it just an illusion? Even sounds also appeared. Perhaps it is about time for it to pick me up. After all if I have to die, then I should enjoy myself at Gokurakutei. Heading to hell is troublesome. Once I think about having to continue to kill demons after death in hell, then I could only feel depressed.」\nYuusha ignored the girl’s voice who is mumbling some lines, and continued forward. When you are in trouble, you can only proceed forward. Until now, she has always got through the tough times this way.\nShe will also do this in the future, Yuusha affirmed her determination. But a pity is that, she was blocked from the front.\n「Excuse me! Th..that, if it is possible, will you go to the guild with me?」\n「Why? Then again, who are you?」\nYuusha seems to be judging this young female. She seems like a good person, but in actuality—— it will be good if she is a good person like how she looks like. Basically the correct answer is to doubt others.\n「That, I saw what happened to you just now at the church. I am about to go and apply at the guild, if it is possible, can I go with you? I feel uneasy if I am alone. Ah, I am also holding the recommendation letter for the 『Warrior』Guild. 」\nThe young girl proposed with a warm smile. She does not seem to give off any feeling of acting, and after conversing with her, it does not seem like she has any ulterior motives. This girl seems to be how she looked like. Yuusha can tell from the smell that a person gives off and differentiate what kind of person is that.\nIf it was a person who is covered in blood and is rotten and despicable, even if he tries to hide, Yuusha will be able to smell the stench from his body; their stench is so much that Yuusha will be unable to endure it, until the extent that she wanted to crush the source of the stench.\n「......Why did you think I am from the Warrior Guild?  Do you feel that even my brain is full of muscles? Yes I am a muscle-brain girl. Before I think, I have already acted.」\n「No..nothing of that sort. Just now I heard from your conversation that the Warrior Guild was mentioned. And now the wind of the Warrior Guild is blowing! Everyone is saying that it is only the matter of time before it surpasses the Swordsman Guild」\n「No, I have already said, I am a hero…...」\n「Mm,mm, I understand! Because no matter who is it, all of them admires 『hero』. Embracing that sort of feelings and long term goal, no, continuous training is also very important. You also know that very well! Perfect!」\nThe young tall girl suddenly clenched her fist and emphasised it.\n『Ah, this girl is a troublesome type of female.』Yuusha understood that in an instant. This sort of people, not only wastes your energy and also exhaust a lot of your mental strength—— the wasting is not her own physical and mental strength, but others’.\nYuusha once again judged her looks—— she was taller than Yuusha by a head, with a height similar to an adult man, wearing heavy sturdy silver colored armour. Along with a shield engraved with a family crest, and a long sword by the belt. She is a ideal warrior.\nHer hairstyle is that of a golden ponytail, her dreams burns passionately in her eyes, causing her eyes to shine with brilliance.\n「.......Maa, okay. If you can lead the way then it will be good. Because this town is too big and I can’t grasp hold of it yet. Then again how big is this place.」\nThis town is situated in a place where it is surrounded by high city walls and a river. With a “if a flood occurs, it will be severe” kind of mentality, initially Yuusha came to this town without any aims. The streets are crowded and the people will pass by each other without crossing eyes, this kind of crowd can be called noisy; hence it can be seen how prosperous this town is.\n「That is natural! This Art Town is built around the 『Underground Labyrinth』. This is the final defense line against the demon that came from the underground. If you end the labyrinth, then you can see the barrier. —— something along that line, now that it has come to this, there is no need to explain anymore.」\nAfter explaining, a shy smile surface after the laughter. But to Yuusha who is not very familiar with this place, this is a very interesting story.\nWhat will be waiting there at the『Underground Labyrinth』. Why not find the culprit directly. If you know the origins then there will be a method to settle it. And why do they seal the labyrinth.\nWhen she is considering about this, Yuusha’s stomach growled and her energy that was saved for thinking was all used up.\n「Ah, should we eat something before going to the guild?」\n「...... I have n..no money.」\n「If it is just some small change, I do have it, so let us go eat!」\nThe girl who was beaming said with a smile, just like a merciful goddess.\n「....... Yo..you are really a good person.」\n「This is a return gift for being willing to accompany me to the guild. Ah sorry for saying this so late! I am Matari•Art. Please take care of me!」\n「......Art? I seemed to have heard it somewhere.」\nThe name of the town is also called Art, so Yuusha had to ask.\n「Ah, yes. I am also considered as a member of Art. Just that I have yet to get official approval. And the earliest Art name has already become something like an ornament. …...that is just past glory.」\nMatari said with a sorrowful expression, a big difference from just now, a shadow also appeared on her back. Although she did not understand what a member of Art is, but Yuusha still consoled her—— as a thanks for treating her.\n「Hooo, Maa, it is also tough for you. Anyway cheer up, if you are that down, you will also become unlucky. Then good things will not happen and you will not put up good stuff.」\nYes, picking up cursed equipment or rotten bread, that is something very scary. The equipment that Yuusha has used until now, are all obtained from demons, and she has also met with many unlucky stuff. Like a sword that will paralyze your hands once you hold it, or a helmet that kept shrinking when you wear it. Even with this, the weapons from the demons are still much more sturdy and better than the weapons made by humans, so she cannot belittle them.\nAs a thanks, Yuusha used the weapons that they are proud of to kill them.\n「So..sorry. That is right. I just ranted for a bit. Let us cheer up and proceed!」\nMatari laughed with a “hehe”, and stuck out her tongue; a really adorable action, but Yuusha felt that it is not very compatible with her who is stained completely with blood.\n「Then I will leave the leading to you? I will follow behind.」\n「Of course! Then, let’s go. This is our first step to glory!」\nCompared to Matari whose mood has turned for the better, Yuusha was bending over; the last of her strength has been sapped away by the energetic girl. In order to not deteriorate her posture, she used the log to support herself and inject more strength into her legs.\n「Then again, I forgot something very important. Can you tell me your name?」\nMatari clapped her hand and brought her smiling face closer.\n“What should I do”, Yuusha pondered. Say out a fake name? But Yuusha decided against it.\n——there is no need for a name. Because she is a hero. Before being a human, she is first a hero. An existence for the sake of killing demons. There is no need for a name for such a person. And there won’t be anyone who will call her name.\n「Yuusha. My name is Yuusha. Because of amnesia, I have forgotten all my past. So you can call me in anyway you like.」\n「M..memory loss. Bu..but if you do not have a name…...」\nYuusha’s words, caused Matari to give a troubled sound. But Yuusha remained relaxed and patted Matari’s shoulder before moving off.\n「I will remember it before long. So it is fine for it to be anything. Then let’s us hurry on.」\n「Pl..please wait a moment! Yu..yuusha-san? Is it really okay with that na..name? If it is a more adorable name——」\n「I have already said anything is fine so isn’t it okay. Until I find my memories, I will endure it. The important thing is, name whatsoever, as long as it can be identified by “that” then it is fine.」\n「I..is that so? But it’s a name.」\nTo Matari who cannot accept it, Yuusha announced with a stern and cold tone.\nThat gaze was too cold, so Matari could not continue.\n「——by the world, that sort of thing.」\n◆\nPart 2
Following Matari, Yuusha came to a building that will modified to become a bar.\nOn the signboard with an alcohol picture, there are a few pieces of paper with 『Come Warriors!』stuck on it.It gave off a feeling of a father after having drunk abit too much, but Yuusha decided not to pursue it further.\nEven though it is already very noisy, you can still hear sounds of sword clashing. It seems to be thriving in its own way. Don’t know what exactly is a guild but drinking does not seem to be a job.\nMatari entered as the vanguard while Yuusha followed with a bread in her mouth. Armed with a bread in her right hand and a log in her left hand, that sort of equipment.\nThere are the drunks that are expected in the guild and there are fellows that looked as evil as bandits. No matter how you look at it, it was not a place where girls should go. But Matari did not feel afraid, and walked deep inside, towards the counter where the guy in green shirt is at, to chat.\nThat muscular green shirted guy had a muscular body that is tanned black, and a characteristic scar across his face. Even if you say he is a bandit when introducing him, nobody will find it strange.\n「Ah Yuusha-san? This person is Rob-san, the guildmaster of the Warrior Guild. Give him the commendation letter——」\n「Oi, there is no need to see that sort of thing. If you put that damn weakling in here, our guild will really have fallen—— no matter how much trash is in this trashbin.」\nBreaking Matari’s words, Rob stared at Yuusha and spit out in disgust with a bitter expression.\nYuusha also woofed down the bread quickly, and threw over the commendation letter silently, but Rob grabbed that paper violently.\n「Just because there is the recommendation letter from the church, I better confirm it. If you feel better then return. Ah— what what, name is the self-proclaimed hero, experience is being a hero, special skill is self proclaimed as killing demons, from the special matter of the church,『trash belongs to the trashbin』. That church woman, what kind of joke is this.」\nAfter pronouncing it loudly deliberately, Rob who threw the letter into the trashbin, used his finger to point to the exit, only telling Yuusha one word.\n「——return.」\n「No. If I don’t kill demons then I can’t get money. We do not wish to waste each other’s time, so hurry up and give me the exploration permit. We will save alot of time.」\n「You fellow, are you belittling life?」\n「I am always optimistic towards life, no matter what happens I will not give up. So I am still alive, I have never belittle life before.」\n「Then I want to ask, what is going on with that get up? A person who is about to challenge the labyrinth, but yet you are dressed up in normal clothes, and holding a log that you picked up from who knows where. This is not a place to teach you how to dance. Dress properly before coming back.」\nYuusha survey her surroundings, majority of the guild member had a curious look. It is really not pleasing. But if it is this extent, then she should be able to endure it, so Yuusha endured it.\nIf she don’t endure then she can’t enter the labyrinth—— for the sake of killing the demons, for the sake of getting money; although now the aim is kind of blurred.\nEven so, Yuusha is still shocked—— after knowing the building which seems to be modified into a bar, in the middle of it, is an actual bar.
。
Because this is the same thing as the place that the warriors that gathered to challenge the Labyrinth, so they provide alcohol. Yuusha feels that this place should not be called a Warrior Guild but a Drunken Guild.\nAlthough that is so, the people sitting here, all have a scary face, which is believed to have a certain amount of strength. They should not be just bluffing. This one in green shirt too, should be a first-class. What to do to get his acknowledgment. How about getting fired up and give him a blow?\nTo Yuusha who is deep in thoughts, the guys who have curious looks and were laughing, began to talk.\n「Oi, miss self-proclaimed hero. Although you probably have all sorts of reasons, but this is not a playground. If you want to earn money, go to the place that suits you the most!」\n「Maa, with that weak body, no matter where it wouldn’t work.」\n「Hahaha! No no, people with special interest do exist! There are guys in this world who feel that small is better!」\n「Hahaha, that kind of people really exist? Thank goodness girl. You can be a favourite among those perverts! Work hard to be Art’s number 1 harlot!!」\nBeing pushed on by the alcohol, the people began to laugh idiotically.\n——These bunch of guys are also quite the veterans in the guild, so to test the new-comers’ courage, they would say some daunting words; among the group’s “welcome”, today is considered one of the most sarcastic days—— Because the church would push weaklings that don’t know anything over, and make them feel that their own guild is making a fool out of them. But they also held the kind feelings of wanting to prevent the increase of the number of the young corpses.\nMatari is completely blushing, seemingly to have no immunity towards perverted words. The expression on green-shirted Rob did not change, and repeated the same words as just now.\n「——so that’s it. If you can understand reality, then hurry up and go back. I am not that free. There are still some procedures to do for Matari.」\n「Ro..rob-san!」\n「I am also not managing the guild for the sake of fun. People who will obviously become corpses cannot be sent to the labyrinth. You should understand that point right?」\n「......Y..yes, but」\nMatari who wanted them to reconsider, was shouted at by Rob.\n「No BUTS. You should also understand it as an Art. And if you want to choose companions, you should choose stronger people.」\n「So..sorry.」\nMatari who was completely refuted, shrinked into ball with her tall height. Then lower her head towards Yuusha to apologise.\nYuusha who was completely treated as corpse not as a combat strength, thought on what she should do.\n(...... so troublesome, it is better for me to enter the labyrinth myself. I am also starting to get angry. And there is no need to get a what permit for killing demons.)\nAs Yuusha’s thoughts began to drift into a dangerous direction, as though pouring oil on fire, a man from the veterans began to approach her.\n「Aiya aiya miss, don’t stand there and hurry up and get out. If possible, let me be your opponent after this?」\n「Hahaha you have that sort of interest!」\n「Wahahahah, you perverted father!」\n「What, I just want to be the first customer. The price will also increase?」\nAs the man revealed a smirk smile, and placed his hand on Yuusha’s petite shoulder.\nIn the instant as he was about to use some perverted hand movement to play with Yuusha——\nYuusha sent a straight punch to the man’s chest; the man wore a seemingly very sturdy metal armour, so this sort of impact will not kill him.\nThat was a blow from the non-dominant left side, but that heavy blow caused the man to give off the sound “grr” like a frog began crushed, then kneeled over.\nFollowing that, Yuusha used the log to lift up the man’s jaw, then hit him just like that.\nYuusha gave accurate consecutive blows, but that is already considered as being lenient. If this was a demon, perhaps it is already smashed into smithereens.\n「How is the taste of the log? As long as you can kill, it is fine to use whatever weapons. Even if you do not have any defensive equipment. When it’s time for you to be killed, you will be killed. The important thing is just that. Ah, you who is wearing such a sturdy armour, is about to be killed by me who is holding a lousy looking log. Hmph, understand?」\nUsing her both hands to hold the log, she stepped on the neck portion of the man. If Yuusha increased her force, the man will die.\n「Woo, wa..wait, wait a moment.」\n「Thinking about it carefully, if you die, an empty space will come out. Then let me fill that in. Hmph, what do you think about that? Don’t you think that it is a good method? Hmph, you don’t think so? I felt that it is a good method. Hmm, although it is painful killing a man, but there is no choice if it is for the sake of killing demons.」\nMumble mumble to herself like she was broken. Before long, Yuusha who understood something began to laugh “keta keta”.\n「So..somebody come! Sa..save me!!」\nThe man began to seek help from the surroundings, but nobody moved. No, they couldn’t. Because that petite girl give off a pressure that does not allow anyone to move. The girl smiled defenselessly like she was broken. But those veteran men could not even move.\nThey understood. If you get slashed by a knife, you will bleed, that is something natural. If you want to stop this girl, you will also be killed naturally. Because the image of “the next one on the ground is himself” is casted in their mind, so they are unable to move.\n「Have you said your goodbyes? Don’t worry. Because you helped me, so I will kill all the demons including your portion. The world will become peaceful and be saved. Isn’t it very very beautiful? The day that the hero will defeat the demon king will come very soon. So, be sacrificed in peace. A great man also said: Peace are built on noble sacrifices. So don't’ worry. Then, farewell.」\nAfter saying her words in a monotonous tone, Yuusha announced world peace. Then placed her foot on the man’s back, and was about to crush his bones——\n「——It ends here! I apologize for just now that matter. I hope that you can forgive our rudeness. Now I accept you into the Warrior Guild. So please let that guy go.」\nA loud clap echoed through the room, Yuusha looked at Rob who called and apologised. His words caused to the craze in Yuusha’s eyes to disappear. Looking down on the man who was being stepped on, and moved her foot like she lost interest. \nYuusha’s aim is to kill demons, so she had to go to the labyrinth, so she has to enter the guild. If that is fulfilled, then there is no special need to kill this man. So she let him go. Just that.\nThe man who was stepped on by Yuusha was trembling violently, and could not stop coughing; the people who were gathered around him kept talking to him to save him.\n「A..are you okay, Java!」\n「Oi, oi, his breathing is bad ah.」\n「Hurry and go to Cleric Guild to get treatment! There should be a companion of this guy there, hurry!」\nThe wounded guy called Java was taken away from the Warrior Guild quickly by the veterans. Yuusha showed an indifferent expression when sending them off.\n「Yu..yuusha-san, ju..just now that was t..too much.」\nMatari who was pale got closer to Yuusha, and said. Just now she had shrink to a ball due to the overwhelming scary aura of Yuusha and was unable to move.\n「Just now you didn’t really intend to kill right? If you kill someone then you will be a murderer. Right?」\n「…………」\nYuusha made a suitable explanation to Matari who seemed to be unable to understand. Even if she claimed that it was a move that she had to take to kill demons, she will also be unable to accept it; hence it is better to explain it to her this way.\n「To humans, the most important thing is pride. Even if you kill someone because of hunger, as long as you don’t lose that, you are still a splendid human. And the human who lose that will——」\n「The humans who lose will?」\n「Become sorrowful beasts. Then remember the taste of blood, and drunk in them, becoming evil demons. That are demons. So, if your pride is damaged, you have to fight. For the sake of not being demons, I am also protecting my own pride. If you wish to live as a human, then it is better for you to remember this.」\nJust like this, as Yuusha was seemingly saying something very noble, she had her eyes on the food on the table. As long as you don’t lose your pride, even if you sneak a bite, it is fine. Just like that.\n「Y..yes.」\nMatari engraved it into her heart and nodded. And kept repeating the word pride. As though she had been heavily influenced. With a troubled expression, Rob after taking a deep breath, chat with them.\n「Remarkable logic. It is just like the words of a soldier who has been through hundreds of battle. Just who are you?」\n「A Hero.」\n「Yes yes. Anyway welcome to our Warrior Guild. Very welcome. Your name is——」\n「Yuusha.」\n「......Yuusha-san. Write something suitable on the name booklet. Afterall the newbie’s name will be forgotten immediately. You should just train your arms, and do your best for the Association.」\n「Yes yes.」\nYuusha replied suitably while biting on meat.\n「——Very good. Actually there will be all sorts of procedures, but from what has happened today, it is better to come again tomorrow. This is the apology for the matter from just now, and also a sign of welcoming you.」\nRob gave Yuusha a silver coin. It has the value of after staying in an inn, treating everyone and drinking, and still have change leftover.\nMoney is the personal property of Rob. Within it also includes the apology fee for treating Yuusha as trash and treating her rudely.\n「Thanks」\n「There are many places that you can stay, I recommend Gokurakutei. Majority of our colleagues are there. And better than anything, that place is managed by the Warrior Guild. So if you two stay there, then you can have the small fortune of asking me.」\nIf you understand then go for today—— and just like that Yuusha and her is chased out of the guild.\nTo Matari who was dragged into it, Yuusha said:\n「Sorry. For involving you.」\n「N..no such thing! And just now that rod skill was terrific. And your moves are fast, are you aiming to be a martial artist in the future?」\nMatari crossed hands and stared at Yuusha like she was very touched from the bottom of her heart.\nYuusha who was not used to that sort of look replied.\n「No, I do not have those thought. Because I am a hero, so I can’t be a martial artist. Lettin the hero be a martial artist is weird.」\n「Is that so? I feel that Yuusha-san has a very outstanding talent! Anyway let’s go to Gokurakutei .」\nIn the end it’s Gokurakutei huh, Yuusha mumbled in a small voice. Why did it not have a better name? For instance Anrakutei. Then you can rest easy.\nWhen Yuusha was considering about such useless stuff, Matari has already moved forward for quite a bit.\n「Yuusha-san, come quickly!」\n「Ah ah, What will become of this. Maa, let nature take its course.」\nUntil now we have survived it, there will be a way too.\n Yuusha stopped thinking deeper, and ran toward Matari who has her ponytail shaking around and energetically waving her hands at her.\n
