Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 6. Former hero?is bewildered but becomes serious

“Although there is a work I would like to request of Haruto-kun immediately, how about it?”

Seems like Ms.Etna is already mediating work to the me who become an adventurer.

The sun will set soon, and I wanted to go secure lodging, but……

Well, from hearing the talks of the request here, my time to search for lodging is eliminated.

Etna felt a sense of responsibility to me who was only talking about my job.

Therefore, as an apology, today at my house……

And then, 2 people becomes connected.

Wellll, that didn’t happen.

Or rather, an unnecessary delusion floated across.

I’ll do such a thing when I’m alone.

“Certainly. What kind of work is it?”

Lowering my back that was about to stand up, I decided to hear about the job.

“Yes. This time, Hero sama came from the royal capital,

and there is a subjugation request of the demon around the highway in the south.”

Hero?

Huh? Is there a hero? Why?

“And with that, Goblins are confirmed as of now…….”

“W, wait for a moment please. He, hero……is there a hero?”

I interrupted unintentionally.

“Oh, did you not know?

In the royal capital the other day, a user of the holy sword was acknowledged by the church, and the hero was introduced.”

A user of the holy sword acknowledged by the church?

What holy sword? There wasn’t such a thing for me.

Well, in the first place, the purpose of the hero is to defeat the demon king?

“Well, since the demon king was defeated, is a hero needed?”

Oops, I behaved strangely due to my discomposure.

“Eh!? But I have not heard that the demon king was defeated, is it……?

Although there were no remarkable stories of the demon king army heard these last few years, but was it defeated?”

“Oh, well, erm…… No, I too, heard those talks a littttttle from somewhere, I wonder what……”

“……Is……..that so? If there is a headline such as the demon king was defeated,

I think it would become the topic all over the world at least, fufu.”

“That’s right huh. Was it a misunderstanding? Ahaha.”

“With that, however, the matter of demon subjugation on the highway -”

Errrr….. what is this event?

Are there many demon kings?

Well, there is a king for every country for humankind, but……

Huh? Seriously?

“-and it became like this……. Errr…, did you catch that?”

“Eh? Ah, Yes, goblin extermination on the highway right?

I would like it.”

“Really! Thank you.

Even if you are in the guild, it would be worrying to be alone, but

if it’s someone like Haruto-kun that is promising settling it, it’s a relief.”

What kind of talk is this?

No, apart from that, there are things I want to verify too.

“That, Ms. Etna. Do you know what Andalugia is?”

“Andalugia? I’m sorry, I do not comprehend it well.”

“Is that so…… Then, is there a world map here?”

“There is one on the wall over that if that’s the case. There are a lot of undeveloped areas too.

It’s still a long way to call it a world map.”

To the wall pointed at previously, that was pasted there.

With the world map I saw in Andalugia, the map showed a totally different topography.

Here, Andalugia……. isn’t there……?

Magical power similarly exist here, and I could use magic too.

It was also possible to communicate by magic……but, I do not know anything outside of that.

This is a situation of a more different world than the different world?

Or, the world is Andalugia but this is a new continent that doesn’t interact at all?

Hmm…………

Oh, well.

I wouldn’t understand even if I worry about it, because I have the same power as when I’m a hero, if it’s different, it’s different, but it’s all right.

I think positively.

“Say…… was there something wrong?”

I was looking at the map with a grimace, and Ms. Etna asks me who returned to a carefree expression immediately.

“No, It’s nothing.

Other than that, how should the goblin extermination be done?”

Let’s concentrate on the work at hand for the time being.

“Yes. Then, please come here again at 8:00 in the morning tomorrow.

I will prepare the map of the places you will be in charge of.”

“I understand. 8:00 in the morning right.”

After that, I left the guild after asking Ms.Etna on the places such as lodging and weapon store nearby.

Outside has been dyed red in the evening sun.

Up till now, I thought it was only an unknown town,

but when I think that the world itself may be different,

I felt it was scary somehow.

Even the signboard hanging over the edge of the eaves of the shops,

even though it isn’t readable, but still it feels different from the letters of the different world that I once saw.

If that’s the case, Ms. Etna’s handwriting was not untidy.

I’m sorry.

When the merchant’s fee and reward were confirmed, there were 15 pieces of gold coin.

Although the gold coins might be a thing, I do not know the market price.

I guess it wouldn’t be an inexpensive affair.

Anyway, after securing lodging first,

I’ll go buy some weapons for tomorrow.
