“Hoo······.”

He had mapped out a golden plan to bring about a tranquil future for himself, but his plan went awry from the start.  All the fault lie in the fact that Artpe was chosen to be a hero.  The future in front of him was a confusing and chaotic mess.

“Why me!”

“This is all very splendid, Artpe!  Isn’t it!”

Maetel stuck close to him, and she was all smiles.  On top of her head, Artpe could see words that could be only seen with his eyes.

[Name : Maetel]

[Race : Human Female]

[Title : Hero]

[Level : 1]

[Strength : 8, Agility : 12, Stamina : 11, Magic Energy : 10]

“No matter how I think about this, this doesn’t make any sense...”

That’s right.

This time around two heroes were chosen.

“I had faith that Artpe would become a hero.  Artpe is smart!”

“I believed ‘you’ would be the only one to become a hero.”

This was what happened in his previous life!

Maybe this was the 1,000 year anniversary of creation of this world, and this was some kind of a massive event where two heroes were given instead of one!

Yes.  The fact that there were two heroes meant that the probability of success in killing the Demon King had gone up.  That was a good thing.

Still, why did he have to one of the heroes!  The fact that he was the hero’s childhood friend was already dangerous enoght, yet now his situation had worsened!

“Please wait a moment.  We’ll contact the palace, and we’ll take both of you to the capital”

“Palace!  Are we really going to a palace!?”

“Yes.  I’ll be back soon.”

“Yes!”

“······uh?”

Why were there two heroes?  Why did he become a hero!

He wrapped his hands around his head as he faced the nightmare-like reality in front of him.  When he raised his head, he discovered the priest in charge of the Baptism Ritual moving quickly towards the exit.  The sight evoked an ominous feeling within him.  Artpe narrowed his eyes as he asked Maetel a question.

“What did he just say?”

“He’ll contact the palace, and we’ll be taken to the capital!”

“The capital!?”

“Yes, the capital!  It is a shiny city!”

Maetel’s voice was filled with happiness and delight.  She sounded super sweet.  Artpe heard her overly sweet words, and it caused his expression to sour in real time!

In his previous life, he clearly remembered what happened to the hero when she went to the capital.  He shouldn’t be wallowing in despair as he stood by doing nothing!  If they didn’t get out of this situation, they will be ruined!

Artpe decided not to ruminate over his situation right now.  He could dwell on his own misfortune at a later time.  The important thing right now….

They had to run away!

“Capital!  Palace!  Being a hero is really great!”

“You are completely mistaken.  The palace isn’t as grand a place to be as you think.”
