#5 Their Circumstances: The Circumstances of a Certain Hero (Trainees)
It started then.
– I am... The goddess of benevolence and devotion. Can you help me save the world?
“What the hell is this nonsense?”
It was really nonsensical nonsense.
And the one spewing that nonsense was my beloved weapon bat that I had received from my instructor and used for 10 years.
Bat says again.
– Please save the world.
“Huh?”
No matter how much I listened, it was nonsense. If the bat could speak, it would surely spew out words like destroy the world as soon as possible or immerse the world in fear, not save the world.
– Please save the world.
There was no way it would plead so desperately to save the world.
“Ha... I see.”
I heard the voice continue.
The moment I heard that voice, I thought, this is exactly my instructor’s trap! I can’t fall for it!
Come to think of it... I wondered why Instructor gave me the bat, so this kind of thing was going to happen.
“Of course, there’s no way Instructor would just give me the bat.”
Instructor was not the kind of person to give away what he held in his hands to others.
If he snatched away what belonged to others, then he snatched it away, he would not give it away.
There was no way such a person would casually hand over something as tremendous as the bat.
That’s right. This is a trap that Instructor has been preparing since 10 years ago!
Instructor’s evil trap has awakened, transcending the passage of 10 years!
– Ah, no that’s not it?
“There’s no way!”
– Really, I’m a goddess......
“I knew it!”
I already knew that even the metal bat referred to itself as a goddess.
Since it calls itself a goddess, it must be a lower compatibility version of the metal bat!
This is definitely Instructor’s trap, no mistake.
– Just what kind of person do you think this Instructor is to make such an evaluation!
“It wouldn’t be strange for him to prepare for 10 years, no even 100 years, just to put one person in a bind!”
That’s right, it wouldn’t be strange for Instructor to prepare a hundred-year plan.
So it’s not strange at all for Instructor’s trap, set 10 years ago, to be triggered now.
No, of course!
– Ah, no that’s not it.......
After that, the goddess made a really big effort to try to persuade me.
If I were to express that effort in words, it would probably take around 3 days, and if written down, it would be enough to fill 5 novels.
Of course, I still can’t completely believe it but.
– Even now?
Leaving the bewildered goddess be, I look down below the castle walls.
“I wonder why I’m here?”
“It’s by the emperor’s order.”
“That’s true.”
At first, it was the crumbling Ruvella City Alliance, but the situation was that it was being quickly rebuilt with the support of the empire.
That was possible not only because of the resources, but also,
“Hey, the castle walls over there look a little low.”
“Bring some stones!”
“No time.”
Swoosh
As the soldiers who were busily carrying stones walked by, a man approached and reached out his hand. Then, as if by magic, boulders sprang up from the ground.
“Lift them up.”
And soon, an earth elemental appeared, lifting up huge rocks and placing them atop the castle walls.
“Morale is indeed everything.”
What would have taken ordinary soldiers half a day to accomplish was finished in less than 10 seconds.
Moreover, it wasn’t just simply piling up rocks. Through the earth elemental, the rocks were perfectly joined with the existing castle walls, which were also created by it.
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just following orders too.”
As the soldiers bowed their heads, the man waved his hand and moved elsewhere.
“I thought dwarves were the best at construction, but it seems summoners are even better at it.”
“Can’t deny that.”
The non-existent castle walls sprouting up before their eyes day after day was truly an unexplainable, mystical sight.
Moreover, it wasn’t shoddy construction either. Since they were made using elementals, the walls were even sturdier than those made by humans.
Moreover,
– I will never become your apostle or hero!
– Why!
What an oblivious god.
If I become the hero of a god like this, the road ahead will surely be dark.
Come to think of it, the instructor said the job of hero is the biggest sucker job in the world.
Has anything the instructor said so far been wrong?
There hasn’t.
So there can be nothing bad about listening to the instructor’s words.
– Just who is this instructor you’re talking about? No, are they even human?
– Of course they’re human. Probably.
– Of course and probably shouldn’t be used together!
So nitpicky.
Indeed, it seems like this god and I are not a good match.
– I think so too! So, pass on my body to a person suitable to be a hero! Then I’ll give up on you as well!
– I cannot do that.
– Why?
Passing the burden of saving the world to someone else, what nonsense.
– It’s nonsense! Saving the world, saving the world from evil! That is the most important work above anything else!
This goddess surely slept for tens of thousands of years so she knows nothing. Not provoking the instructor’s feelings and not standing out are the most important things in the world.
– Just who is this instructor! Are they even your older brother? Or is it a demon?!
– Um... it’s similar?
– What?!
Back then, I didn’t know. I didn’t know the instructor really was something similar to a demon.
While I thought it was possible since it’s the instructor, I didn’t think they would actually be similar.
The only thing I was thinking then was where the instructor could be at that moment and what they must be doing!
#6 Their circumstances: The circumstances of a certain researcher
In a dark room.
In there, lit only by a small hearth, the man could do nothing but watch the phenomenon unfolding before him.
Tap tap, tap tap.
Gazing at it triggering changes accompanied by clamorous sounds, the man swallowed his saliva.
“Come on... it’s almost time, so please!”
As if reacting to the man’s words-
Tap tap tap! Tap tap!
The thing he was watching was fluttering even more violently.
“Alright, now move. It’s time to show you to the world!”
The sight seemed like an evil black magician summoning a demon from hell.
That was how desperately the man wanted the object in front of him to change, and responding as if to his wish, it began breaking out of its shell and coming out into the world.
Pop... tap tap tap!
“Oh!”
It jumps out energetically as if to prove it’s alive.
“Finally... I finally completed it!”
Seeing it, the man shed tears of emotion.
“I finally completed popcorn!”
The man who is the target of most in the current world.
The man named Naran, who the princess of the empire, the lord of darkness, high elve, the demon king, demons, and numerous others are trying to locate, shed tears as he watched popcorn popping in a pot in the corner of the room.
“This kingdom’s corn is suited for popcorn...!”
Watching that, a small girl next to him shook her head.
“Master, have you gone crazy?”
“What crazy. You don’t know what a great discovery this is! Do you know how much dried corn I bought for making this popcorn?”
“It was a lot. Enough that you were eating nothing but corn all this while.”
The girl stared at the man with eyes that screamed how pathetic this was.
Her gaze was truly cold and chilling, but he didn’t mind it.
“Now that the heroes and the Demon King are about to have their final decisive battle with the fate of the world at stake, we definitely can’t be missing popcorn!”
“From what I see, aren’t you supposed to be the main character of that story? Can you only watch?”
“I have to try to be able to.”
The man gave the first ever popcorn in this world to the girl saying,
“Here, try it. The true taste of popcorn!”
The girl heaved a sigh before taking the popcorn from the man’s hand and putting it in her mouth.
And the first popcorn to appear in this world turned out to be...
“It’s tasteless...”
“Huh?”
“Bland...”
“Ah...”
It was said to have no taste at all since no spice was added in.
