Until the decapitation of the heroes, part 1.
'All of you, lift your heads!'
In front of me sat yesterday's guildmaster, and in front of him the baron, and in front of him the viscount, and in front of him the count... and at the very top, the king, was sitting on a step.
The king was looking at the sky with a bored look on his face and a vacant look in his eyes.
Then the vizier appears from the side with a scroll in his hand. He read out the contents of the scroll at length, until finally a section was read
'Of the four dungeons under our control, the Brikut dungeon in the north, we have received reports that there have been a number of recent failures in defeating Class A monsters.
The Adventurers' Guildmaster replies with a sigh.
'It is true, sir.'
At that moment, a murmur spreads among the nobles.
'Quiet! At the moment, the Silver Winged Wing with an S-class licence is the one who is inscribed to attack the dungeon in the north. The three parties assigned to attack the northern dungeon are the Silver Winged Wings with an S-class licence, the Sword of the Clown with an S-class licence, and the Golden Ship with an A-class licence.
"... Only the golden ship, sir."
In a whisper, the nobles started whispering, "It's an A-class..." "It's an A-class," they whispered.
Silence! ...is it correct that Baron Paul Macartney has a few words to say about the failure to defeat the party?
'Yes. I, Paul Macartney, have something to say to his Excellency Prime Minister Donique Turelle Dorn in his name.
The guildmaster looks at us in surprise.
'Tell me...'
'Has the Prime Minister heard about the 'miracle adventurers' who are making the rounds?'
The Prime Minister nods slowly.
'Actually, he is an adventurer who used to belong to the Golden Ship. The audience is even more upset.
'It is said that a party with that adventurer in it will gain extraordinary strength and success. 'You want to say that the request to defeat him has failed because he has left the party? Then why should he leave the prestigious party recommended by our kingdom? If it is because of him that we have been able to do what we have done, then it means that the others have been faking it without any real ability...'
'No, that is not the case! If that were the case, the golden ship would have been active long before now and would have obtained an S-class licence long ago. The truth is, the miracle adventurers have robbed the members of the golden ship of their power!" Dawn ！！！！
Woah, that's what happened. We were pretty bored & hard on our knees for a long time, in a yo-yo-don't system.
Especially as I have haemorrhoids, when I'm on one knee, the skin of the buttocks of the one I'm standing on is pulled, ugh, it's really hard.
'It's a golden ship. Is it Baron Paul Macartney's allegation of sincerity?"
Suddenly he's talking to me.
'Is... yes. We, the Golden Boat, have been striving every day to live up to our king's name and to do everything in our power to ensure the safety of this kingdom. However, one day, the demons that we were normally able to defeat became several times stronger, and our swords and magic were no longer able to penetrate them. We didn't know why we couldn't defeat them anymore, and every time our requests failed, my companions and I regretted to our deaths that we couldn't help the king. Then, the baron, who is concerned about us and is a close friend of ours, introduced us to the chief priest of a certain temple."
Everyone here is looking forward to my story. ・・・・ Ooooh... I'm ad-libbing so much. I'm at my limit.
Please allow me to tell you the rest of the story."
Angelica, who was waiting at the side, connects the words. Naisu ！！！！！！ Anne!!!
'Are you...?'
'Yes, I am the saint in this party. I have just prayed to God together with the chief priestess. He gave us a trust that what happened to us this time was that Luca ... Lucarion, who left the party, took our power and ran away. And with the power he took from us, he has been performing various miracles, and thus gaining the trust of others, and is living on."
Angelica then took a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her tears.
'I don't know how they took away the power we have worked so hard to obtain. But because of that, we will no longer be able to fulfil our duties in the dungeon, which was given to us by the king. Besides, if Lucarion has the ability to take away other people's power like that, then parties other than ours might also be targeted. I am just worried about that. I know that normally, a gang like us would not even be able to attend such an event, but I only feel that I must rely on the Baron to tell the king and nobles of our country about this, and that we are a party of shame in the kingdom that cannot fulfil the duties of a king.......
Angelica breaks down crying on the floor as it is.
、、、、、 Where the hell is this actress? Oops, we should look down in disappointment too. I'm not sure what to do.
At that time, the door opened with a bang.
'Grandfather! Don't be fooled!
