VOLUME 1: Chapter 10 – The Hero is the Ultimate Weapon

[Part 2]

Although the situation is different because the foolish daughter of the overlord was interested, is it not the same as trying to marry him to the princess without listening to his story?

Well, the Hero would propose to me, the lady-in-waiting A, immediately after that and the development went diagonally upwards.

“Then, how did it go?”

“The foolish overlord told us, ‘If you don’t want others to know that you took advantage of my daughter, just marry her’, and Greed became irritated. The castle began to collapse as soon as he said, ‘Shut up’.”

“Can’t he control it?” I unintentionally used tsukkomi.

“We also thought he’s going on a rampage. But that was not the careless act of the spirit who responded to the feelings of Greed, but it was what he did with his intention.”

Milly-sama, who smiled at my tsukkomi and shook her head, said scary things.

“While the rest of the castle is collapsing, Greed sparingly told us the crime committed by the lord on the spot. Such as secretly raising the taxes in the country and putting it in his pocket, imprisoning or killing the people who oppose him in the dungeon of the castle, kidnapping a girl he liked and forcibly made her his mistress, received a bribe from an unscrupulous merchant and tolerated his crime, etc. Greed can combine the ability of the soil spirit and the wind spirit in order to use [a.n.a.lysis] skill to extract past memory and information. The lord, who didn’t know it, saw Greed has scary eyes that can see. Because he can see through and expose anyone’s bad business other people were not aware of. On the contrary, we calmed down. Because even though Greed was angry, we saw that he controlled the spirit properly.”

――Eventually, the castle collapsed.

Yet no one was injured, and all the people and soldiers who work in the castle stood dumbfounded in front of the overlord’s castle, which was turned into a mountain of rubble. Greed-sama protected them with the power of a spirit. By the way, the overlord and his daughter, their accomplices, and those who tormented the people, were imprisoned in a dungeon that did not collapse.

Although they are alive, they must have felt the terror until the rubble has been removed and they were rescued. And even if they were rescued, they were to be imprisoned again soon. Greed-sama used the spirits to deliver the information about the overlord to the great temple of the G.o.ddess, and the temple conveyed it to the king. Of course, the position of the lord was revoked, and now it seems that a new overlord governs the land. The new overlord is neat, and the people were able to finally live with peace of mind.

It was a happy ending.

……except for my heart.

Ruined the castle and used the [a.n.a.lysis] skill and the powers of the spirits to extract the necessary information, and protected people from being injured. Greed-sama simultaneously completed those tasks.

That is no longer within the standards. Out-of-bounds……?

Finally getting dizzy for real, I covered my face with my hand.

The spirits sense emotions and act recklessly. That is indeed a natural disaster.

However, it already exceeds the limit of natural disaster to use the power of the spirit that is the power of nature itself at will. It is already―a weapon. It is definitely a weapon.

…… Oh, I feel I understand why Greed-sama’s friends were desperate at the hall.

Indeed, it would be easy to ruin this country using the powers of the Hero.

As expected of “walking natural disaster”. Truly the “ultimate weapon”.

――Wait, what? I re

moved my hand from my face.

“……the ultimate weapon?”

I understood the weapon, but why is “ultimate” attached to it?

At such thoughts, Milly-sama shrugged her shoulders and looked up.

“Oh, that’s because even just being able to use the powers of all types of spirit makes him invincible, he also has the power of the hero, you know? With no opponent to oppose him, there is no doubt that he is the strongest in the world. Think about what will happen if Greed goes out of control.”

The opponent that would face Greed-sama, who has beaten the Demon King, should at least have a level of a G.o.d or a spirit. If ever Greed-sama forgets about himself and went on a rampage……?

It would be, the [Hero’s rampage = the destruction of the world], right?

――Truly the “ultimate weapon”.

The world will end if it is activated, right?

Ahahaha.

Haha……

Ha……

……

“Princess.”

I straightened my back, turned to the princess, and bowed my head deeply.

“Please excuse me. I will end my duty today.”

“Aria?!”

Regardless of whether the princess is taken aback, I continued.

“Thank you very much for taking care of me until today. I am sorry that I will not be able to see you living a happy life with Rufus-sama, but I pray for the princess’s happiness under a distant sky. Oh, then I will leave this country as soon as I greet parents. So preparations are necessary, and with this, please excuse me.”

I slowly lowered my head again and walked towards the door.

――However!

“Resistance is futile, just so you know.”

Before I knew it, Milly-sama was standing in front of the door and blocked my way!

“For Greed to fall in love with a woman, it must be a miracle that the G.o.ddess created for the world, no, the humanity! That’s why, Aria, sacrifice anything……No, no, be a stopper for Greed!”

“――It’s impossible for me to do it.”

To be an ultimate weapon’s wife, it’s really impossible!

Such a big role for a mere level one lady-in-waiting is impossible! Absolutely impossible.

“Saying it is impossible, it is not for you to say. Because the future of humanity is hanging on your hands, Aria―”

Milly-sama, whose face seem to be smiling or not smiling, grasps both my shoulders, as if saying, You. Can’t. Escape.

My disappearing act failed. I will be sacrificed.

“Eeeep-! It iiiiimpossibleeee!”

That day, my screams echoed in the princess’s room many times―
