“Kaine, Elfatokles-sama, I have good news and bad news.”
“…Give me the good news first.”
“The good news is that Victor, the Demon Sword King of the Four Heavenly Kings, has been defeated by Thunder Emperor Ort Mekina.”
“That’s amazing! Wasn’t Victor the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings? To defeat him single-handedly…”
“The bad news is that Raijin Ort Mekina was killed by Victor, the Demon Sword King of the Four Heavenly Kings.”
“…No way… Ort-san was defeated?”
I can’t believe it. Thunder Emperor Ort Mekina was renowned as the strongest swordsman in history, and after actually fighting him, I even thought that no one could possibly win…
“In other words, from now on, I will lead everyone as the captain of the 6th Knight Order.”
“…Aren’t you sad? Even though your superior was killed…”
Elfatokles asks through her tears.
“I don’t bring personal feelings into my work. I’ll tell everyone in the Knights Order, so I’ll be going now.”
Kuuga-san said matter-of-factly and left the scene.
Feeling a bit concerned, I followed him and saw Kuuga-san crying alone in the shadows.
“…Why… Ort-san… weren’t you the strongest…”
Kuuga-san will be leading everyone in the 6th Knight Order as their captain from now on.
He probably can’t shed tears in front of everyone, at least…
Everyone is sad. There’s no way they wouldn’t be sad after losing someone important.
I just watched him without calling out to him.

The news that Nedria of the Four Heavenly Kings was defeated by Valkyrie Kaine, Hero Erna, Cliff, and Gald,
Kuder of the Four Heavenly Kings was defeated by Flame Emperor Elfatokles,
and Victor of the Four Heavenly Kings was defeated by Thunder Emperor Ort Mekina,
spread to every country.
Although it was achieved at the cost of two lives, all of the Four Heavenly Kings have now been defeated.
The war with the Demon Lord’s Army is finally reaching its climax.
Originally, the Four Heavenly Kings were supposed to be defeated by the Hero and his party.
However, this time, the Hero Party only defeated one of the Four Heavenly Kings. This has never happened before.
Something is happening…
Everyone felt that way.
