Chapter 5: I put the truth in
The Adventurers' Guild was in an uproar.
Whispers and glances were exchanged, and people were on guard. Everyone seemed wary. The Demon King was indeed such a formidable presence.
The Demon King stood at the pinnacle of monsters, infamous for waging wars against humanity. Humanity had managed to repel the Demon King multiple times, albeit at great cost.
But honestly, as a low-ranking adventurer like myself, it didn't concern me. I thought it was lucky for the guild, as it meant the competition for requests would decrease with the involvement of powerful adventurers.
"I can't believe it, the Demon King..."
An adventurer who seemed to take the situation seriously added to the anxiety. Good. Yeah, it's really unbelievable.
"There's no way that's true!"
However, just when things were going well, one of the girls in the entourage interjected.
"The Demon King couldn't have done such a thing!"
"Yeah, that's right."
The rest of the entourage also agreed with that opinion. It's true, but why can they say it so confidently?
"Because the Demon King was sealed by the hero!"
Huh? Is that so? Seriously? That hero sealed the Demon King? He must have been amazing. Well, even if that's the case, what does it matter?
"It's revenge! The Demon King has appeared for revenge!"
I quickly took the initiative. Before they could suspect me, I pressed on.
"That's absurd—"
"The hero has been defeated! It's over!! Who's going to defeat the Demon King!?"
The girl in the entourage tried to say something, but I raised my voice to drown her out. In situations like this, the one with the loudest voice wins.
"This place is dangerous! We're being targeted!! Run away!"
Pointing towards the exit, some people were influenced and rushed out of the Adventurers' Guild. Seeing that, a few more followed suit, fleeing from the guild.
"Run away, run away."
Saying that, I also rushed out of the Adventurers' Guild.
Farewell, hero.
Sleep peacefully in the depths of the hole, along with the truth.
――――――
"We're going to confirm the seal from now on."
I thought I had escaped, but I was naive.
An urgent assembly was called by the guild, and all guild members were summoned.
Reluctantly, I am listening to the Guild Master's speech.
But it's a futile effort, isn't it?
The Demon King hasn't been resurrected or anything. He’s still peacefully sleeping, right?
However, there's no way I can point that out.
I have no choice but to pass the time, trying not to stand out, towards the back.
"The three of them know the location of the seal. Five adventurers will be selected from the guild to accompany them."
The Guild Master pointed to the girls who were part of the hero's entourage and said so.
Five adventurers will be selected. If it goes according to order, it will probably be gold ranked adventurers. Although I've ranked up, I'm still at the silver rank.
It seems unlikely that my turn will come.
It's really pointless. I wish it would end quickly.
"Rick, Jay, Brandie..."
The names of the gold rank adventurers are being called out in order.
It would have been better if they just destroyed the seal cleanly without bothering with it.
"And one more person."
"Wait!"
Someone interrupted the Guild Master's speech.
It was one of the girls from the entourage.
The one who was clinging the most to the hero.
"Let's make it him for the last one!"
What on earth is happening?
The girl pointed at me and said those words.
