Chapter 2: Because I am the hero, I want to be worshipped by everyone

[Such a lowlife... Don't you have any pride being the hero!?]

Due to my demand, princess Mary raised her voice at me. She seemed extremely angry but this doesn't concern me.

[I have my a small difficulty. I apologies but I became weird after the person I love like someone else. In also, the person I used to love is actually a bitch so I accidentally betray humans after falling into depression]

Such a sorrowful tale. Well, I'm the only person feeling sorrowful.

[Why did you do something so cruel? Due to your fault, the human world is done! Why, did you betray us? Why, did you abandon me and your comrades?]

Such shameless words. This will go on forever if I don't find a reason.

However, if I use one word to express all my unbearable frustration, it will definitely end like this.

[This is because all of you didn't worship me!]

Everyone currently present freezes.

[Think of all the achievement I made? How many time have I risk my life? Towards such a person, all of you didn't go out of the way to worship me!]

[T, this is the reason?]

The princess express disbelief and show a shock expression.

However, [that reason] is precisely the thing that I could not tolerate.

[At the very least, princess, you should fall in love with me. Before I realize it, I wonder how much work had I done for the royal family? Also, the priest too. You, are my childhood friend, right? Why did you date the mage all of a sudden?]

I turn my sight towards the priest while speaking and show an appearance of being lost.

[W, why, did you mention things like dating?]

[At night... your moan, is leaking. The two of you is the same, warrior and martial artist]

It is the tough staying un-waver.
Who, would want to hear the sound of the girl you like making love with another man, and the panting sound of my junior doing perverted plays? Being in heat and mating every single night, they should just die.

[That, I'm sorry. I, am unable to go out with you. Because, your face is not my liking... the princess, also said this too?]

[Th, that, don't turn the conversation towards me? But, indeed I said that]

[... ... Why, did I fall in love with the two of you]

I didn't know why tears are falling from my eyes.
Truthfully speaking, I forgot the reason why I even like those fellows.

[Hero. Don't use the reason of your face being ugly and do something like this. I feel this is, not right? Please seriously rethink your action from here on]

[Shut up, bastard mage. Don't keep acting like an older brother... On that note, aren't you my brother? If that's the case, why did you date your younger brother crush?]

Just why, he is obviously a liar. My past self that got close to him after treating him as my brother is a disappointment.

[Both warrior and martial artist is my junior, right? I'm the person that enable you two to fight, right? Then, why are you secretly laughing behind my back? Even if I'm not popular with the ladies, it isn't good to treat me like a fool]

[...However, senpai is disgusting]

[It feels like you are desperately trying to throw away your virginity]

Ah, this is useless, I can’t say anything properly. It makes me feel stupid trying to act like a good senpai up until now.

Deep breath. Keep myself compose. I must finish talking about all the resentment I have up until now.

[Even if its me, I still made a good hero? I didn’t complain even with low reward, didn’t show any dissatisfaction even with weak companion, not getting angry no matter how I’m treated... all of you still look down on me. Hence, I betray. I abandon all of you. I will bid my farewell to you all here]

In other words, I made my final decision.

[Oi, hurry up and bring out the money. You want half of this world? At this rate, you will all become the slave of the demon race? Speak, how much money are you willing to cough out]

I squat beside the princess who is being tied up and can't move her body in order to threaten her. Her eyes are filled with the darkness of hatred.

[If only you didn't exist...]

[Oh dear, your true nature is revealed? Well, if you hate it that much, I will return half of this world to the demon king]

[Wait, a minute! I understand... I understand so please sell me half of this world]

Then, the princess speaks in an inhumane voice.

This is the voice when she is doing official work and is totally different from the voice that is trying to get close to me. Well, the voice used to get close to me is also something fake.

Witnessing that attitude, it feels that I finally walk away from being a human race like her.

[One thousand five hundred white gold coins... how about it?]

[O, one thousand five hundred coins]

The proposed sum is an absurd amount of money.

Hey hey, with so much money, I can play to my heart content a hundred times over...!? Although I have never held so a big sum so I'm not that clear, this is a huge sum that couldn't be obtain normally.

However, if you propose this amount from the beginning... it means that she must have more in the reserve. Just how much does the royal family possess? When I think of it this way, I feel angry.

[Insufficient]

I didn't bother adding on after saying that one word.

[But, with the amount of money in the country reserve, this is the maximum I can take out]

[What are you saying? All those important figures gathered here, must have some money saved too]

[B, but...]

Reaching this point, I might as well remove all the bad weeds. I didn't allow any room for negotiation and continue pressuring the princess.

[I want more. Let's make a deal at two thousand white gold coins. How about it? If you dislike it, I will just give back half of the world to the demon king]

I feel that I'm saying something cruel.

However, the truth is... in the human world, a portion of the rich is rotten so I'm taking the opportunity to remove everything. This is for the sake of humankind development and progress.

In other words, I am being considerate! Let's think of it this way.

[Argh... I, under, stand]

The princess nods weakly listening to my demand. From her point of view, she can only accept my demand.

Regardless, nodding her head means that she has some method to raise more money.

[Let's make it two thousand five hundred. Hey, quickly swear your oath under Sephiroth]

[B, bastard... I understand, dammit! I will do it alright!? Under the witness of Sephiroth "Trading half of this world with the hero, I will pay two thousand five hundred white gold coins", I swear]

With this, I reach an agreement with her.
The oath swear under Sephiroth is absolute.

Presently, there is a bag full of white gold coin in my hands. Using force, I gather most of the money that human possesses.

[I don't have to work with this]

I smile at the bag fill with white gold coin and left the scene. I have nothing else to say to those fellows.

[See you then. Well, do your best to survive]

After saying this, I turn my back towards them.

[A devil... I will definitely not forgive you!]

I ignore the voice full of hatred and walk out the door.
And out there, the demon king is waiting.

[Done with your farewell?]

[Ah, I complete it properly]

[It is for the best... hey, what's in that bag?]

[Two thousand five hundred white gold coins. I got this after trading in half of this world]

[What! You, sold away what I gave you so easily!]

[Well, well, it doesn't really matter... Rather than this, I want to quickly return to your castle. I want to taste the delicious wine]

[Really, there is no helping you. However, I will forgive because it's you]

I'm forgiven. What a kind demon king so this make me like her more.
Since that's the case, I want to depend on her and life my life lazily from here on.

[Kukuku... I understand, I will prepare the most delicious wine for you.  Tonight, you must drink a glass with me]

After finishing her words, the demon king activates her teleportation magic and bring me to her castle.

I bid farewell to my past life. From here on, my new life is about the start.

T.L End of chapter 2.
