Ceres-kun and I came to the Adventurer's Guild together.
"Shizuko-san, this..."
Ceres-kun pointed at a job posting on the wall.
"Isn't this Zect's, the Hero party's posting? What's that kid up to..."
In the end, it came to this...
It's only natural since they kicked out Ceres-kun, who was good at housework and took care of people, and did all the paperwork. It's only natural, right?
But I don't want to speak ill of someone else's child, but why are the three girls at the party unable to do the housework? I wonder what's really going on... I mean, Lida-chan is the daughter of the restaurant owner, Haruka's and Kazuma's child, and she was supposed to inherit the restaurant if she didn't become a Sword Saint.
But if I think about it again, Haruka always got angry because she didn't help at home... Well, it's not my place to say as Zect's mother.
Anyway, Zect is strongly influenced by Sector, so he seems kind and strong at first glance... but he's mentally fragile and has a tendency to run away. I hope he stays put here...
Well, he's an adult now and a "Hero," so they should do their best on their own.
"I wonder if this is alright..."
"Well, it's impossible! There's no one capable of working under these conditions."
It's impossible no matter how you look at it.
First, they have to travel with the Hero party.
From here on, they have to protect themselves during their journey to defeat the Demon King.
The only people who can do that are knights in the royal palace or adventurers with at least an A-rank.
Finding someone that strong who can also do household and paperwork tasks... yes, that's quite rare.
In general, someone with that level of ability can easily make money, and they wouldn't go through years of hardship to fight the Demon King.
Besides, Ceres-kun's cooking is ranked second in the village, right after Kazuma-san, who's obsessed with cooking.
If Ceres-kun wanted to, he could become a top-class chef. Even a housewife like me can't cook this well.
'Protecting themselves from the Demon King's army, doing all the dirty work, taking care of everything, and cooking like a top chef.'
There's no one like that. No, there definitely isn't. He's the "ideal husband," the "ideal son," and even the "ideal son-in-law."
So, no matter how hard they look, they won't find anyone like him.
"Indeed, there's no one this amazing, huh?"
Isn't that amazing person Ceres-kun?
"Hehe, that's right, there's no one like you!"
Most likely, Zect, who has inherited his father's bad taste in women, drove Ceres-kun away because he wanted a harem.
Thanks to that, I'm having a very enjoyable life.
Zect and the others will surely struggle after losing Ceres-kun.
"Yeah, you're right..."
Ceres-kun doesn't realize his own worth.
"This time, are there 34 orcs? As always, it's an amazing feat, 'Jet-Black Hero.'"
"'Jet-Black Hero'?"
"What's that 'Jet-Black Hero' thing?"
"Since Hero parties are called the 'Light of Hope,' and it seemed odd to refer to the separate team of Ceres-sama and Shizuko-sama as just another team, we thought of it at the Adventurer's Guild. Combining Ceres-sama's 'Hero (Eiyuu)' and Shizuko-sama's 'Black-Haired Healer' into 'Jet-Black Hero.' How does that sound? Pretty cool, right?"
"It feels a bit like chuunibyou and is embarrassing..."
"Well, I think it's great. It's pretty cool, Ceres-kun."
"If Shizuko-san thinks so, then I guess it's okay."
"Hehehe, I'm glad. It was pretty lonely being in a separate team."
"Yeah, that's true..."
As usual, Ceres-kun is shy. Maybe he hates flashy things, or perhaps he doesn't seem too happy about it.
"Also, I have another piece of news! Shizuko-sama's rank has been promoted to S-rank! Congratulations!"
"Wait a minute! I haven't done that much."
"That's not true at all! Together with Ceres-sama, you've defeated 30 creatures, including the Ogre King, and this time, 30 orcs! Those are significant achievements! Your original A-rank was just provisional. We planned to return it to its original status as long as your past abilities matched it."
"Is that so?"
Hey, Bel-boy, you didn't say anything like that.
