Hero ceremony (4)

In the end, things didn't go as smoothly, but the result that they wanted still happened.

In the end, I was able to obtain the sword.

But I still had my doubts…

"What was that at the very end? Why did the light suddenly become so intense?"

It would have been fine if it was the normal intensity, but this light was different from that.

When I looked closely, it was as if there was something that was mixed into it as well. It was something that seemed to be red in colour that was mixed in.

It was hard to tell exactly what it was since it was so faint and it disappeared quite quickly, but that red light definitely wasn't normal.

At the very least, I had obtained the sword that I was looking for.

And the moment that the sword appeared, I saw that there was a change with my status.

I had obtained the 'hero' class.

Before this, I didn't have a class since I was a newly created character. But now that I had obtained the class change item, it was only natural that I gained this new class.

But this sword wasn't just a class change item.

It was much more than that since it was a key item that would help me step on a path.

There was a reason why this was called the hero ceremony.

Once the sword had been obtained, Amy looked like she was delighted by this and pulled me away to the side where there was a set of things waiting.

I didn't know what she was doing until she started doing it.

She was recording everything with what seemed to be a magic tool that could capture images.

Or at least that was what it seemed like based on what I knew from the game.

During this time, the lord walked over with an awkward look on his face before saying, "Sir Hero, I apologize for how I acted previously. I hope that you will not hold it against me."

Though he was apologizing, there was still this trace of pride that was in his voice.

For a noble like this, it seemed that he thought that just him apologizing was already enough for him to be forgiven. As a noble, he didn't actually have to apologize since his status made it so that he would be forgiven.

Or at least it should with someone like me who didn't have any status at all.

Before I could even say anything, Amy suddenly said, "Get lost."

The lord couldn't help revealing a shocked look before his face twisted in an ugly manner.

It was clear that he didn't expect Amy to say something like this and it seemed that he wasn't going to take this lying down for once. No matter what, he was still a noble of this kingdom and the lord of this place.

Amy wasn't scared at all seeing him like this.

She just simply said, "You should know what status the hero has and how you treated him previously could be considered a crime. As such, you should know what kind of punishment is waiting for you."

The face of the noble turned even uglier when he heard this, but there was nothing that he could say.

That was because he knew that she was correct.

The only thing that was on his mind now was trying to figure out a way to save himself.

All of a sudden, the expression on his face changed as if he thought of something.

However, as if she had already guessed what he was thinking and prepared for it, Amy took something out.

It seemed like the image capturing magic item, but it was also a bit different.

It was smaller.

With a click of a button, the voice of the lord came out.

This was a recording device and it had recorded everything that the lord had said just now. 

This clearly showed how he treated me, the one who had become a hero.

With this, there really wasn't anything that the lord could say since there was proof.

The lord's face turned even uglier and it seemed like he lost control of himself as he stepped forward like he wanted to take this recording device from Amy. Only he didn't even get the chance to approach her.

Before he could take more than two steps, the paladins that had been around Amy came forward to stop him.

The lord wasn't a strong knight in the first place, he was a lord that handled his territory poorly and just wanted an easy life. So it wasn't as if he could actually do anything to the paladins that had trained hard to become paladins.

Amy just waved her hand as if she was dismissing him and the paladins took him away.

Once the lord was taken away, she turned back to me to say with a smile, "Now, let's finish this."

A trace of bitterness appeared on my face when I saw this, but I still gave a nod in response.

I thought that Amy was nothing more than a pure saintess, but it seemed that there was a sly side to her.

But then again, I thought that it was normal for her to be like this.

No matter what kind of organization it was, it was impossible for it to be completely devoid of politics.

Even as a saintess, it seemed that Amy was used to things like this.

At the same time, I could see how she was slowly becoming obsessed with me.

It might not exactly be good for me to keep her by my side…

Well, she's cute and I'm supposed to be the hero.

It isn't as if I can't have a harem since I'm the hero.

I'm sure that I'll be able to handle it.

That's what I said to myself, but I had completely underestimated how this would turn out in the future.
