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.
