Volume 6 Chapter 4 Extra - It Seems the Reincarnated Great Hero Wants to Join the Adventurers Guild (Cry)
Henrietta and the others have come to visit Hero Lawrence's grave, together with his former party.
They're shocked to meet Lauren ── who's actually Lawrence reborn.
Now, Lauren is living a simple life as a normal child in this village.
He volunteers to show Henrietta's group around his home.
Ulgar and the others are treated like heroes ── celebrated and honored.
Lauren's mother? Just a plain, ordinary woman... or so it seems.
But, somehow, she looks very exhausted ── like she's carrying a heavy weight.
Now then.
After finishing a meal prepared by Lauren's mother, he suddenly speaks up.
"Hen-Hen! Will you let me join the Gem of Heavenly Gift?"
Everyone there freezes...
Henrietta's face drains of color. Her breath catches.
"Huh?! What's everyone so surprised about? Are you tired from the journey?"
"No, no, wait a minute ── Lauren, did I hear that right? You want to join my Guild?"
"Yup! That's right, Henrietta! I want to become an Adventurer again ── join the Guild that Mr. Act built!"
No, no, no ── Henrietta shakes her head quickly.
Because ── the guy is a legendary hero who saved the world!
How can someone like him be under her command?
Especially now, with the Guild already full of dangerous folks... already over capacity!
"I── I don't get it... Why would you want to be an Adventurer? You could just live a peaceful life as a normal village child."
Henrietta silently prays in her heart, begging him to just stay out of it.
But Lauren, with an innocent smile, speaks up.
"Yup! I dunno why, but everyone in the village keeps telling me... 'Please don't do anything stupid!' It's weird. I'm completely fine ── no injuries, no illnesses."
""Ah... I see...""
Henrietta and the others nod, convinced.
Probably, Lauren holds an unimaginable amount of power within his.
Just his doing anything could crush stuff.
The villagers are already struggling with how overwhelming her strength is.
"I can't do village chores. But I feel guilty just standing still. So──I've decided to leave the village and become an Adventurer!"
I see. The people around him must be kind enough to encourage that.
It seemsshe's trying to repay their kindness by stepping out into the world and working hard for them.
That's admirable.
Yes, truly admirable.
That's why──
(Wow, that's so hard to refuse...!)
Henrietta breaks out into a sweat inside, feeling the pressure mount.
She's caught in the flow──knows she can't turn it down.
And then──
"Lauren, you want to join the Gem of Heavenly Gift, is that right?"
Her mother's voice sharpens with conviction.
"Yes!"
"That's wonderful! Truly, a good call! You should go for it──absolutely! Leave this tiny village behind and unleash your strength on the wider world!"
I really hope he doesn't go all out.
The world might *break*──not just figuratively.
Because this Great Hero can't die, no matter what.
If he falls, he's back on his feet the next day, reborn.
And apparently, as a 0-year-old, he burst out of the monster that attacked the village──shouting "Gwaaah!" and killing it in one shot.
A monster, through and through.
The village can't just keep him around; his power is too much.
Then, the Guildmaster of the Adventurers Guild arrives.
And this isn't just any guild──it's a top-tier organization.
A guild that produced heroes who saved the world.
They probably can't fully control him, but they'll guide him──use that power wisely.
That's what her mother is thinking──trying to send him off.
This isn't exile.
Not at all.
Never.
"U-um... well, I... I don't know..."
Henrietta desperately wanted to refuse.
She really, really wanted to say no.
Right now, the Guild is filled with troublemakers.
A pharmacologist named Leaf Chemist──possesses incredible, out-of-range power he's unaware of.
He can summon everything and even annihilate Fiends instantly, yet──he always return home on time.
A difficult summon mage, Kilt Invoke──able to conjure anything, but quirks make him hard to handle.
What if they added the reincarnation of the Great Hero──who defeated the Demon King and saved the world?
(I'm going to collapse from all this stress...!)
Henrietta, rubbing her temples, switches targets and tries a different angle.
"U-Um, Mr. Eli──what about you? Isn't Mida's village short-staffed too?"
But both of them quickly avert their eyes.
"My guild's small, and we're at capacity. No way we can take in more right now."
"As for me, I only take on elves ── sorry, that's just how it is."
Still, both of them feel deep gratitude toward Lawrence.
After all, he's the one who defeated the greatest enemy ── the Demon King.
At the cost of his own life.
They're thankful, and they like him.
But keeping him close is impossible.
Everyone──former allies, more than anyone──knows just what kind of monster he's become...
...So that's that.
"I-I understand... I'll, I'll take responsibility for your son... I'll look after him..."
Impossible to refuse.
He's their benefactor, after all...
And a family friend, too...
There's no way she'd say no.
"Yes! Thank you, Hen-Hen! Alright, from now on──I'll serve as Lauren, as part of the guild! I'll use this power to the fullest!"
As Henrietta tears up, begging them not to break the guild, everyone looks at her with sympathetic eyes.
