Royal Capital Disturbance –Hero-
‘Why in the world it become like this?’ Currently,
that wasn’t what in Masayuki’s mind.
『
MA~SAYUKI, MA~~SAYUKI!!
』
Masayuki stood inside the people’s cheers.
Then, he tilted his neck diagonally as he was
instructed to, and directed his sight downward.
In about 2 seconds, he turned his face to the front
slowly and meets the people’s gazes.
Only doing so, the increasing level of people’s
excitement can be felt. It was very effective to the extent of being
terrifying.
(As expected, it’s as Rimuru-san says……)
That’s right.
Masayuki’s gesture just now was the result of his
trainingd under Rimuru’s guidance.
Grasping the people’s minds, the effect of Unique
Skill
『
The Chosen One
』
has increased due to the calculated
gesture instead of solely relying on the skill.
It can’t be helped for Masayuki to trembling with fear
as the influence was beyond than what he expected.
He just received a bit acting lesson, but the effect
was too overwhelming.
As soon as Yuuki turned his gaze over, the people
closed their mouths.
Quietly, like the waves, silence descended to this
place.
It was already a sight that he saw so many times.
――Actually, for Masayuki.
Before visiting the Ingrassia Kingdom, he visited
several countries around Great Jura Forest and had calmed down similar mayhem.
Before the Great War begins, Masayuki was called by
Rimuru and had received a request.
With a carefree tone, Rimuru asked him
「
Please persuade the people in each
country so they will not cause a riot.
」
.
「
No no, it’s impossible for me!
」
「
What are you saying, Masayuki-kun. You can do it. No, only
you can do it!
」
After such conversation, he was coaxed with
「
Don’t worry, don’t worry! If it’s
you, you can do anything as you please!
」
.
After that, he received a bit acting lesson, from the
pose before the speech and the movement of his eyes during the speech――
everything was drawn in detail in the memo given to him.
Also,
「
Kufufufufu. As expected from Masayuki-dono, it’s splendid.
You seem to better than a demon at grasping people’s
minds, you have my admiration.
」
He gets praised by Diablo, the demon itself.
He was not happy at all, but Masayuki warded off that
feeling with a complicated smile.
However, for some reason, Diablo was strangely pleased
with Masayuki,
「
That’s right. If you are going to many countries, you will
need an escort.
」
Saying so, Diablo summoned his trusted subordinate
named Venom and arranged him to accompany Masayuki.
Thanks to that, his traveling to many countries was
shortened due to Transfer Magic.
On the second day, even when Velda declared that
Rimuru was defeated, Masayuki was making a speech without worrying about it.
In a small country, in front of the trembling
populace, Masayuki was able to clear the people’s anxiety very smoothly.
It was because Rimuru had irresponsibly told him
「
By some chance, I might die once, I
leave the rest to you!
」
, so
this and that.
Venom who was accompanying him too,
「
Ah, what hmm…. Even though Diablo-sama is safe, for some
reason I can’t contact him.
But, I can’t see that Moss’s presence too, I’m sure
that he was doing something stealthily by Diablo-sama’s order.
」
Said so and shrugged his shoulders.
There was no sign of him worried at all.
Certainly, if Rimuru was really destroyed, his
subordinates would act more recklessly.
Because Masayuki was strangely convinced, he stopped
thinking about it deeply.
Speaking of convinced, this also applied to Venom.
For some reason, Masayuki mysteriously gets along with
him.
When Diablo introduced Venom to Masayuki for the first
time, Venom wore an over the top combat clothes……
「
That, can you manage it somehow? I’m supposed to be the Hero
though……?
」
「
Ah, that’s right. Then, I would better if you come with me.
」
So, after leaving Rimuru’s place, it has been decided
for Venom to change clothes and both of them were going to the Armor shop.
At that time they conversed, but it was a talk about
an unexpected thing.
「
I guess―― I have a feeling that I lived in the same world as
you before.
」
So, Venom frankly speaking, Masayuki thinks that he
might be a reincarnated person.
And so, he was lectured about various clothes.
He asked the craftsman and got the clothes finished
with the illustration that Masayuki had drawn.
It was a bit of Punk fashion, but strangely it looks
good on Venom.
Because Venom’s hair is like a Mohawk, it seems to be
his rule to not wear a helmet.
He was like a biker gang from somewhere, so Masayuki
wanted to tsukkomi, but compared to how he first dressed, Masayuki thinks this
one is better.
Because he’s a demon, he doesn’t need any kind of
armor, but appearance was important.
「
Hey hey, aren’t you have a good sense on this. Can I trouble
you for it from now on?
」
「
Ah, I’m glad if you liked it.
」
His illustration that makes Venom bring out a
delinquent like atmosphere is mixed with a bit of joke, but it seems that it
becomes his best favorite.
It seems that he felt like he worn such clothes in his
former life.
That became the impetus of how Venom and Masayuki
became friends.
His appearance was better―― when compared to his
previous demonic appearance―― and so, Masayuki introduced Venom to his five
companions.
「
Oh. Have you also been charmed by Masayuki-sama’s greatness?
」
「
Well, of course. After all, Masayuki is a cool and wonderful person.
」
「
It’s because he is exuding the aura of a Hero. Oh well,
pleased to be with you from now on!
」
His companions say such thing unanimously.
As for Masayuki, he seems to want to say,
「
Before, rather than charmed by me,
people would go away though――
」
There was no one who noticed such feelings from
Masayuki among his companions.
Every time, they believed Masayuki like a god.
Still, recently, they gradually become friendlier and
frank little by little.
According to Rimuru,
「
Aren’t they come to be able to resist
the effect of your Unique Skill?
」
.
With this impetus, Masayuki wanted everyone to notice
the truth soon.
Putting that aside, Masayuki was glad that his
companions get along with Venom.
Afterwards, they requested the cooperation of the
adventurers of Tempest to prevent disorder, and they scattered to each country
before the Great War begins.
Although it was due to Rimuru’s commission, the adventurers
joyfully departed to various places due to Masayuki’s request who received an
acting lesson.
After that, until now.
Including Venom, the seven of them went around various
places.
And now――
Masayuki who wore shining golden armor and his whole
body glowed with light was bathed in people’s eyes.
He gradually became accustomed to the feeling of
tension, and now he can naturally accept it.
It might be the result of his regular practice
following Rimuru’s memo for the acting and stuff.
(What I’m saying, it looks like the timing I aimed……)
Anything but that please, so Masayuki thinks.
Although he has accustomed to tension, Masayuki was
still a timid guy.
Such timing like a hero, Masayuki thought that role
was not for someone like him.
However, he had no one even if he wanted to complain.
It can’t be helped, he decided to finish this place.
「
Everyone, please settle down. Calmly, and please tell me what
happened here――
」
Masayuki began to talk gently.
(Umm, ‘talk slowly without panicking. Even if you talk
bit your tongue or somewhat stuttering, don’t worry cause you can correct it!
Wasn’t it)
Masayuki recalled the memo he had read for so many
times in his mind, and he thinks there’s no intense gaze coming from the
citizens.
Due to Masayuki’s calm words, the people who calmed
down regained their calm mind.
In the first place, why did Hinata fight against
Reiner?
Although it’s a fact that the king was assassinated,
was the criminal really Hinata? Such doubt recurs in the people’s hearts.
And even for Masayuki.
(No, really, in this situation, what on the earth was
going on?
Which side is correct or wrong? Which side is the
correct one I should ally with?)
He was actually quite perplexed.
He knew about Hinata.
Masayuki reached the point where he’s called as the
Hero of the West, but he was frequently compared with Hinata who is the Holy
Knight Leader.
He had heard people argued which side is stronger as
they please.
Masayuki remembered Rimuru had said
「
Masayuki-kun. If you seriously fight
her, it’d be better to run away instead.
」
like it was natural.
She’s such cool-headed and dangerous woman. But, he
said that she wouldn’t take a meaningless action.
In contrast to Reiner, when Masayuki received the
victory prize of the fighting tournament he participated in the Ingrassia
Kingdom, he felt that he was a close aide to the king.
He thinks that he’s probably that person at that time,
Masayuki wasn’t sure. Either way, it’s certain that he’s an important figure in
the country.
Which side is the correct side he should side with? It
was a very difficult problem.
If he interferes unskillfully, the mask of the Hero
that he played with great effort would come off.
If it happened, Masayuki was thinking to run away and
return to Tempest, but he was anxious that not completing Rimuru’s request
would be a problem.
Rimuru aside, he didn’t think that it would end just
with Diablo and other uttering sarcasm.
Masayuki wanted to clear this place somehow smoothly.
He understood it well that’s related to saving his own skin.
However, the situation changed without caring about
Masayuki’s troubles.
「
Oh my, oh my, Isn’t it Hero Masayuki-dono? It’s been a while,
I’m Reiner.
Do you remember me? It’s Reiner the Leader of Guard
Knight Order. Currently I’m――
」
Reiner began to say something.
As expected Masayuki’s memory is correct, he was the
Knight Leader who standing beside the king.
(Ummm……then, is the correct answer to ally with him
maybe? Eh, isn’t it bad if I’m hostile against Hinata though!?)
He didn’t know that Hinata had lost her power――
although she’s still stronger than Masayuki―― Masayuki’s mind is in turmoil.
But, not caring about Masayuki’s problem, the
conversation continued.
And then, it began to show a turbulent development.
「
Masayuki-sama! Please, please somehow forgive me!! The king,
I’m the one who lay my hands on the king――
」
Interrupting Reiner’s words, one of the soldiers come
running and prostrating in front of Masayuki.
(Eh!? I don’t know what he’s talking about……)
Masayuki wanted to reconfirm it so he’s not moving
carelessly.
「
Hmm! What are you blabbering about?
」
Reiner was angry.
He tries to cut down the soldier, but the children
blocked him and disturbed Reiner’s action.
In addition――
「
Fu, fuhahahahaha. It’s the end, I’m ruined……
」
For some reason, Prince Elrick began to confess his
wrongdoing.
With the testimony of the soldier who abode the
Prince’s order in order to help his sick family and the confession of the
Prince himself, all relevant facts of the case have mostly been confirmed.
This and that is all due to Masayuki’s ability.
Actually, Masayuki, who didn’t realize it yet, has
awakened a new ability.
Its name is Unique Skill
『
Messiah (Savior)
』
.
It was the result of him following the memo that given
to him by Rimuru―― or rather it was Ciel.
The ability of Unique Skill
『
Messiah
』
, just as its name implies, was
salvation.
It urged the mind of the target of their crime and
makes them act to attain salvation. That’s realized mostly in the form of
confessing their sin.
This time, only the people who reacted to Masayuki’s
words became the target.
That’s triggered when Masayuki asked the explanation
of what happened here.
It was a terrifying ability that was convenient for
Masayuki eternally.
This ability of Masayuki was naturally able to be
resisted by a high ranking person.
Therefore, Reiner was barely affected.
Prior to that, to begin with Reiner was――
「
Kehii, kehihihi, kehihaa! I’ll kill youuuuuuuu! I’ll kill you
all!!
」
His mind was already in abnormal state.
Reiner’s bloated pride was repainted with revenge and
hatred when he committed the failure in the council and tasted dread from
Shuna.
And now, while raising a strange laughter, Reiner
turned his sword towards Masayuki.
(Eh!? He aimed at me!)
In a panic, Masayuki also put his hand on his sword.
Actually, Masayuki’s ability had increased
considerably. Training in the labyrinth hadaised Masayuki’s strength.
However, even so, Masayuki thought that he’s at
disadvantage against his opponent who is the strongest knight of the Ingrassia
Kingdom which is one of the large countries.
「
How sad, for us to only able to talk through sword――
」
He said so while giving him a side glance, as shown in
his memo.
Although the people seemed to be impressed by it,
Reiner didn’t.
「
Die!!
」
While shouting, Reiner charged towards Masayuki.
「
Masayuki-anchan, finish that guy off!
」
「
Please show us coolly!
」
The children’s cheering was painful to his ear.
(Why on the earth they’re so convinced that I’m
strong! Although I’m protecting Hinata, please protect me too!)
He recalled several times that the children who were
training in the labyrinth doing training for a special move.
He talked about fantasy special moves such as Eternal
Frozen Sword or Evil Annihilation Sword, but it seems that they thought he can
really use them.
Although at that time Masayuki was stronger, the
children showed an abnormally rapid growth.
Blessed with master class teachers like Hakurou and
Agera, they were now slightly stronger than Masayuki.
And yet, they still believed that Masayuki was
stronger.
Masayuki who received such respect from the children
was unable to step back.
(Damn, damn it! If it comes to this, I feel I’m going
to die!)
Masayuki steeled himself.
Reiner was approaching.
And, at the time Reiner’s sword was about to reach
Masayuki, a person stood in front of Masayuki.
That person was Hinata.
「
Can you leave this guy to me?
」
Saying so, Hinata sprouted a beautiful smile towards
Masayuki.
