The Fake Hero’s Role

“Sir Hero! Why couldn’t you save my mother or father?!”

“Sir Hero, why did you let my house burn down?!”

“Sir Hero, didn’t you come here to save us?!”

“Sir Hero, why did you give up on my hometown?!”

“Sir Hero.”

“Sir Hero.”

“Sir Hero...”

“Hero.”

“Hero...”

“Sir Hero.” “Why?” “Did you lie to us?” “You said you’d save us.” “How could you?” “But you’re the hero.” “Don’t abandon us.” “Stop.” “Don’t take my daughter from me.” “Please save my son.” “Please, no.” “Spare us.” “Help me.” “Help me.” “Help me.” “Help me.” “Help me.” “But you’re the hero.” “Aren’t you the hero?” “If you’re the hero...” “A real hero would...” “A hero would have...”

“Liar.”

I awoke with a gasp to find the room shaking around me. It took me a moment to remember that I was traveling by carriage.

I was covered in a cold sweat, and my heart was pounding. I put my hands over my face in an effort to calm myself down.

It was just a dream.

Mary was aboard the same carriage. She took her eyes off the jewel in her hand and looked at me. “Is something wrong?”

“I’m fine. The shaking of the carriage woke me up.”

“The quality’s rather poor, isn’t it? Nobles like me were never meant to ride in such things.”

“Pah. Nobles complain about everything,” Gladius said.

“No one asked for a barbarian’s opinion.”

“What’d you call me?!”

They were getting into another argument. I was used to it. In the past, they’d both taken out their anger on Yu and May. With those outlets gone, they’d turned against each other, and now they couldn’t stand each other. I’d normally get between them, but I lacked the energy, still reeling from the nightmare.

“Though what concerns me more than this barbarian is your slow recovery, Sir Foyle. Your condition seems rather serious. Some people were less than pleased with your performance during our previous battle.”

“Oh... Sorry, I’m just tired lately.”

“Well, the monsters have been relentless in their assaults. We’re constantly being dispatched this way and that. It’s quite dreadful. I can barely make time for my skin care routine.”

“The cretins of the Demon Lord Army need putting in their place,” Gladius said. “Same goes for the good-for-nothings we’re protecting. They think they can just hide and wait for us to save them.”

“You’ve shown that beheading two or three cowards as an example to the others is quite effective in dealing with that issue,” Mary said. “Commoners just need to be reminded that they exist to serve people like ourselves. Though if I had my way, we’d have ignored this latest plea for assistance.”

“We can’t do that,” I said. “These people don’t stand a chance, not even with every knight and commoner helping.”

We were heading towards a village that was under attack by a manabeast.

A hero wouldn’t normally be sent to dispatch a manabeast, but the request had come from this country’s government directly; this manabeast had already proved powerful enough to destroy several other villages.

Manabeasts, much like humans, were naturally occuring, living creatures whose bodies contained magical energy.
