Volume 12 Chapter 1 Martina And The Hero's Title, Part One
It's been two days since we defeated the Light Dragon King.
We're staying in the royal palace as honored guests.
Now that the Light Dragon King situation has been resolved, I just want to enjoy my carefree second life...
Well, that's how I really feel.
Well, even though we defeated the Light Dragon King, we still haven't settled things with the people who possess the 'Relic'-- Deeta and Cyril.
We might still be far from peaceful days.
I just want to live a relaxed life for a while, you know...
"It's frustrating, but you might be the true hero."
Martina said to me as soon as we met at the royal palace.
"Huh?"
"Well, you delivered the decisive blow against the Light Dragon King. In battle, it was clear that you contributed the most."
"N-No, everyone did their best."
"Hehe, that humble side of you is also hero-like, Rain-kun."
Martina smiled,
then she squinted her eyes slightly,
"I'm frustrated... I'm frustrated... grr."
Martina's eyebrows furrowed more and more,
Her mouth twisted in a sulky manner.
Ah, she must be really frustrated...
"Martina, are you really fixated on the title of a hero?"
"Well, you know... I come from a family of heroes, so it means a lot to me."
Martina said.
"So, what exactly is a hero anyway? It seems like society just calls anyone a hero without really knowing."
"Yeah, you're right... Strictly speaking, what I'm aiming for is to be recognized as a hero by the 'Uralis Kingdom.' It's kind of like an honorary position, if you will."
"Oh, I see. So that's what being a hero is."
"There are similar title certifications for heroes in other countries as well, but since Uralis has produced hero Elvain, the title recognition in this country is considered to be of high rank."
Martina speaks proudly, explaining the process of certification.
"How is that certification obtained? Is it by defeating the Demon King or something?"
"Well... in this era, there are no Demon Kings. So, if you defeat an enemy that is equivalent to or close to being a 'world enemy,' there is a possibility of being certified."
"'World enemy'...?"
"Yes. Like the Light Dragon King that you defeated."
Martina said.
"But didn't we defeat the Light Dragon King together?"
"That's true, but... as I mentioned earlier, you landed the decisive blow in the end. Considering your contribution, I believe Rain-kun is the one who defeated the Light Dragon King, and that's how people perceive it."
"Wait, does that mean there is a possibility of me being certified as a hero?"
"Well, yeah. If you are recognized for your accomplishments and fulfill the criteria, there is indeed a possibility of being certified as a hero."
