Heroes are really outrageous beings.
Thats because whatever they do, theyll get this strong in no more than about a single month.
When you try and be in their presence, youll understand the feelings of the nearby people who look at me or Touma.
So out of standard arent theylike really.
Thats what I think when I look down on my uninjured body even though I was swallowed by lava.
Only the clothes on my upper body became useless.
This wont do, Im almost half-naked.
Even Heroes would get embarrassed all the same though.
Damn itwhat shall I do with those two?
The man called Endou Ryuuji is, in any case, an ordinary human being.
Getting ordinary grades in elementary school and middle school, and test results were always average.
An ordinary boy who never earned anything but third place in a foot race during sports day.
His dislike towards himself changed and he took effort and entered high school in a somewhat higher ranking.
That was where he met by chancethe girl called Hanabashira Yuuhi.
She was just like the sun.
The sun floating in the sky who would come in contact with even the crowds of weed like himself with the usual cheerful attitude.
He fell in love at first sight.
He tried starting to approach and talk to her, but what gathered around Yuuhi were flowers, different than the weeds.
Kouma, who was renowned as the coolest boy in his school year, the petite and cute Mitsuki, who was very popular by the boys and Jirou, who brought people together with excitement and his trustworthiness.
What is more, the smart student council president whose glasses suits him, a handsome youth who entered as a junior and was a model, a boy of the same school year with plenty of sexual experience and even boys of other schools harbored love towards her.
Endou gave up halfwaysaying the ordinary him can not win against them.
And the finishing blow was the figures of her and Kouma walking on the road thats illuminated by the setting sun.
They were too matching, his heart broke.
He gave up on her and a few days laterhe witnessed Yuuhi talking with a single male student, also by coincidence.
Who was there was neither Kouma nor the other flowersSuzaki Setsu, the bottommost in social standing in terms of position. A boy who was like withered weed, the weed among weeds.
Seeing that, Endou felt anger.
The boy who was called gloomy, eerie and even unpleasant, treated the words of the girl who was an existence like the sun to them as he saw fit. Endou noticed the first feelings inside of himhis urge to kill.
From then on he turned Suzaki Setsu into his enemy.
Instigating him with Gloomy Yuki and kicking him around as a gofer.
There were also times he struck his stomach or stepped on his head as he was crouching.
And he, who was laughing doing thatcurrently has his head stepped on by that boy.
Gahhah
Come to think of it, I had this done to me a lot right? By you.
It was one blow.
Just when he thought he appeared from inside the steam, Endou received an impact on his stomach and fell down.
The intense feeling of oppression and intense pain rendered him unable to move and made him crouch.
With him gasping, his face was pressed to the ground and some mud entered his mouth.
I aint bearing any special grudges against you. Whatever was done to me neither hurt nor itched after all.
Setsus stepping power wasnt high.
However, Endou couldnt stand up.
Reason why Im stepping on you like this is because I got curious about how you felt when you stepped on me. Hey Endou, it surprisingly doesnt feel bad, thisthe looking down part is better than anything else. Did you have that kind of feelings too?
Guhgih
Even though Endou was disordered and agonizing in pain, his face went red from anger.
He put in the strength to stand up, but he was stepped on stronger than before and he sunk further in the soil.
How amazing, youDespite having neither magic power nor physical strength and your body is hurting. Do you hate me that much?
Setsu tormented Endou by grinding with his foot.
Even if he was screwed even more into the ground and mud entered his mouth, Endou didnt stop glaring at him.
I understand you, I hate you too you know. Thats why Im stepping on your head like this. Lets see, what should I do nowbreak your arm? Cut off your legs? Even if I gouge out your eyes, itll be fine if I go for one. If its just that then I can still do it without problems, right me?
Setsu thrusted Kuromaru before Endous eyes.
This moment, Endou harbored fear towards him for the first time.
Hes conscious about what he picked a fight with.
This man is a monster, I shouldnt have come in contact with him.
Regret swelled uphe currently thought from the bottom of his heartthat he was too foolish.
Sowhere should I start?
The next moment, Endous consciousness was spontaneously lost.
aw, that sucks
He fainted just by me pointing a smile towards him for a bit.
I shouldve done it over for a bit, but lets be satisfied with just making him regret it.
Uhah
So, what are you gonna do?
I call out to Kouma who had his sacred sword ready and isnt moving.
Even though you could say I was defenseless when I was stepping on Endou, this guy didnt move even a single step.
My impression is that his spirit is already broken.
Like I thought, hes going to get cold feet if their greatest attack was stopped without injuries.
Well, I dont care about this guys condition, I have something I want to ask of him.
Well, if youre not coming at me then thats fine, just listen like that. Answer me honestly to the things Im about to ask you.
Wh, why should I
If youre not answering then it cant be helped, Ill kill this guy.
To threaten him, I thrust Kuromaru to Endous neck.
The fact that I wont kill is something Kouma doesnt know.
It should be enough of a threat in that case.
St-, stop!
Then answer them, honestly of course.
I understand
Alright, this is good.
Okay then, first question, those black robe lots, if I remember rightly you said they were leaders or something right? Tell me all of their names and abilities.
Why should I
Because its necessary. Just tell me.
O, okay.
Before he talked back with something, I press Kuromaru strongly against Endou, urging on ahead.
If I try to summarize the explanation that came from Koumas mouth, there are eight black robes.
Names are Kagerou, Luna, Bildos, Kuroinu, Saiga, Melua, Lume, Gaia.
Each of them has unique magic, but they werent revealed or so it seems.
Its probably, but the one who uses
Ive already met Saiga and Kuroinu didnt I? In front of Shironekos house.
Now that I think about it, I couldnt confirm their unique magic.
Next is Melua huhif my expectations are right, then she must be that one
Now, the next question, its the location of the black robes.
I, I dont knowEven though I say those people are leaders, I havent gotten any commands. They have the authorities, but All of them should be running about freely on the battlefield. Ah, but one is protecting the king of the human continent. Another oneOne of them is also marching onto Evil Barrow alone on a horse.
On a horseEvil Barrow? Hell get done in before he reaches the demon kings castle, like that.
That person appears to have an ability that makes sure he wontI dont know it in details though.
What is this, hes useless.
His target should be Desastre, buthow rash, picking a fight with that woman is like going to his death.
Which leaves meif I knock down the six black robes in this place, then itll settle this battlefield.
No, if that guys also here
Next, do you know of a guy who looks like a little girl?
Wh, who is that?
HmmIll ask differently. You havent seen any other black robed guys?
I, Im 100% sure there are only eight leaders! I dont know anyone else, okay!?
Heaint lying I guess.
That guy didnt come?
No, he cant possibly not come.
He should appear somewhereprobably when the battles about to end.
Well, whatever
Are we done? Release Endou please
Yeah, then Ill give you my last question.
The thing I wanted to ask the most was still left.
Something more important than the information of the enemies Ill be making.
You, you invited Yuuhi to a date. Is that true?
Eh?
Answer me.
Ye, yeahIts truegah.
In the middle of Koumas answer, my fist caught his cheeks.
I ended up hitting him unintentionallyUhee.
Uwa, he ended up fainting.
Well, whatever I guess.
I carry the fainted Endou and Kouma by gripping their nape.
I carry Mitsuki and Jirou while Im at it and put all of them at the base of a large tree inside the forest.
Leaving them alone while exposed in rain looks bad to me too after all.
I tie themno I dont have to tie them up. They cant do anything either way.
