Chapter 2 – I was kicked out of this world

"Hmm ... where is this?"

[It looks like you're awake, Hero Raid.]

 

It was a place I didn't recognize.

I drank a lot last night because I was kicked out of the party, but it wasn't enough to get drunk.

I'm not bragging, but I've never been drunk with alcohol.

I’ve won againts the Dwarves after all.

Thats why, I shouldn't be drunk and go to a place I don't know.

If I remember right, I should have slept in a new inn ... but really, where is this?

There is nothing as far as the eye can see.

No trees, no soil, no grass, no mountains, no clouds.

Even though there is no feeling of floating, I feel a sense of discomfort that my body is floating.

Then, I looked at the strange voice.

 

[Fumu, as expected of a Hero. You are calm]

 

There is something in the shape of a person.

However, I can't see the detail even if I squint.

I tried to detect it using light magic, but I can't control my magic power well now.

What happen... I click my tounge in my heart

 

[Don't be wary, I'm the one who manage the world you lived in.]

"Manage, you say?"

 

Speaking of "managing the world", the one thing that come to my mind was,

No way, is it the "Nameless Creator God"?

A long time ago, a god who created and raised humans.

It is said to be a companion to the evil god who creates the Demon King.

 

[Surely you humans call me that, then Hero Raid. I congratulate you for subduing the Demon King.]

"...No, I was just lucky."

[Don't be humble. You defeated the most powerful Demon King of all time with just one blow. I was surprised, no, really surprised.]

 

Somehow, I feel like it suddenly became profane.

It must be my imagination.

 

"So, what business a god want me to do?"

[Umu. That is... It's hard to say, but Raid. There is a place that seeks your salvation. Will you go there?]

"Haa~... where is it?"

[It's another world called the earth]

 

Earth.

It's a place I've never heard of.

 

"Why am I?"

[You are undoubtedly the strongest creature in this world. There is no way for you to fail]

"Well, what kind of crisis is it?"

 

I see, I think it's interesting.

I'm a little, no fairly worried about a different world, but I'm also interested.

For the time being, let's just listen to the story.

 

[U, umu. That's right ... there seems to be some evil spirits and strange monsters.]

 

What happen, suddenly it became suspicious.

 

"Evil spirits and monsters? Is it like Elder Lich or True Vampire?"

 

If its at that level, then there is no problem.

When I met them before, I used light magic to chop them into minced meat.

It was fun to see the Immortal Vampire crying.

Elder Lich wasn't immortal, so I defeated it and it's all done with that.

But the Vampire will come back to life no matter how many times its killed, probably because of immortality.

There was also a means to kill immortality, but at that time I was also stressed.

Every time he revived, I searched and killed him myself to relieve my stress.

Then, he... he started to run away with all his might when I came near.

As long as I can detect him, I will definitely not let him escape.

But his magic detection area is gradually expanding, and by the time I notice it, he will detect me from a distance that I can not detect.

No matter how far I chase, he will always be on the other side of world.

I remember giving up on chasing him.

He… I  wonder what he is doing right now?

 

[Ah... I think it's like that.]

"I think? Honestly, I don't think I need to go if it's a monster on that level..."

[No, I need your power! Would you please help me?]

"Haa~... I can go home after defeating it, right?"

[...Please lend your strength!!]

"Hey, Old Man. Answer properly."

 

Unconsciously, I dropped the honorifics. (T/N: Raid is using honorific in the previous dialogue)

No, that's not it.

This old man diverts the story.

I can't see his face, but if we had eye contact, he would definitely look away.

 

[Hero Raid. You have sufficiently saved this world with your power. I want you to save the other world with that powerful and unrivaled power.]

"Can I go home?"

[...]

 

Why silent.

N~, that's right. Can't lie because you're a god?

Perhaps there is no concept of lying.

Of course it is. Only humans can lie.

Deceive yourself and deceive the other person. Only humans would do such a thing.

 

[Hero Raid. Your power is--]

"Eh? Don't say I can't go home, right"

 

I interrupted the Old Man's words who tried to repeat the same thing and asked the question again.

 

"Very difficult... no, hopeless... no, to come back is... It is impossible."

"You said it's impossible right! I can't go home!? Then what should I do?"

"You will live as a resident of that new world."

 

Isn't it ridiculous, a complete one-way trip?

I’m not saying I didn’t have any interest to another world, but if I can't go back, it's a different story.

Anyway, the Demon King will be born in 10 years.

I don't know how strong he is, but there is no point to listening this story.

 

"Because of that, I refuse."

[Why, Hero Raid. There is a world that may need your power. You aren't thinking of going there?]

"Wait, what is that ‘may need’? ‘May’."

[...]

 

Yeah, Its really strange since a while ago.

He said there were evil spirits and monsters. Then it wouldn't be a lie. (T/N: From before, god seems can’t lie)

But was there a word 'strong' or 'powerful'?

No.

Is the Earth really seeking my salvation in the first place?

 

"How strong are the spirits and demons of the world mentioned earlier?"

[You can beat it with your power.]

"In that way, it means "an existence that can be defeated by my power", isn't it? In that case, it would be ranged from Slime to the Demon King, but what is the specific strength?"

[...Well, I wonder how strong?]

"Answer, old man!"

 

I am sure.

Absolutely not strong! Definitely a small fish!

Do you want me to tell a strange world to bury my bones in order to defeat such small fish!??

 

"I will never go"

[... Huh. Hero Raid. I'm sorry, but this is a decision.]

"Huh!? It's ridiculous! Why! Say the reason, why!"

 

You thing I will agree!

Explain it, at least give the reason why!

 

[Thousands of years ago. I came up with a play. It's a play of competing humans and demons in this world. Select the positions of "Hero" and "Demon King" from each camp and let them compete. If either one loses, the camp that won will take over the world for the next 10 years.]

 

Wait a minute, you Old Man said this terrifyingly important thing easily.

In other words, Hero and Demon King appear every 10 years because this old man and another similar guy, no, in this case, the evil god, decided that way...?

What is play! There were people who died in the battle with Demon King you know!?

 

[It's a trivial problem from the world's point of view, whether it's the life or death of a person or the life or death of a demon. Therefore, the fertility of both camps is high. And there is another rule. The loser is of this generation, in the case the Demon King. It means that the power of the next Demon King will be adjusted to be the same as the current hero, that is you]

 

I see, that’s why I thought the Demon Lord was getting stronger and stronger.

 

[Yes, it was unexpected situation for you to defeat the Demon King three times! It's strange okay!? The Demon King born this time had such power that it would be easily blow off the mountains if all his magic power was released! Even so, to kill him in one blow... You, are you a devil!??]

"I'm human!"

 

It's reversed okay! This old man!?

But I thought it was strange, because the Demon King I fought for the third time felt strangely strong. It seems to unilaterally attack and destroy him from the other side of the three mountains was the correct answer.

 

"It's unheard of to kill the first Demon King at the age of five, laughing while killing the second Demon King at the age of 15, and instantly kill the third Demon King at the age of 25!? Thanks to you, I got a complaint from the manager of the Demon King camp! That's why I want you to go out of this world... or more like, would you go please? "

 

What is with a hero kicked out of the party and even out of the world!

I mean, you should kill me without being so elaborate! You are administrator of the world right!?

 

[I tried to kill you! I tried okay! When you went out, I used the nearby Earth Dragon, Ancient Weapon Golem, and a Warmonger Kingdom. I utilise anything I can use! However, you killed, destroyed, and annihilate them all!!]

"Hey, all of that sounds strangely familiar!? That was your work!?"

 

Damn, I regret not being able to use magic here.

If I can use magic, I'll definitely kill him!

 

[Even if you break this Management Domain, you can't kill here... Therefore, as a last resort, I let you go to another world. I have already talked to the manager of the world over there... I'm sorry, this is also for the world. Will you give up...]

 

Probably not for the world, but for the Demon King!!

Damn old man, making the world work like a game board!!

 

[Now, it ’s regrettable but let’s start the moving procedure... Rest assured, I don't hate you. All of your Power and Ability can be left as they are. And then, let's give that world's language and common sense to you. Also, I will give you that world's money. You should be able to understand everything when you get there.]

"...In the end, I didn't agree to all of this!"

[Then, good bye, Hero Raid!]

 

My field of vision is getting darker.

The transfer may be about to begin.

Or rather, it become very worrisome situation.

The Demon King who is getting stronger and stronger.

To be honest, fighting with the third Demon King would be hard unless I attacked unilaterally from a very long distance.

That means that the next Demon King will be even stronger.

Will the next generation Hero be okay?

Well, it doesn't matter to me anymore!
