“Hey Fake. I don’t need you anymore, so will you quit?”
I was called out by the warrior who had been hiding in the shadows, and suddenly I was told to do so.
“What do you mean, Quit?”
“You’re so stupid, you’re …… dismissed! In other words, you’re fired!”
“…… Haa, fired? But my mission is to kill the Demon King and return to the castle.”
While saying this, I pointed my finger towards the ‘Demon King’ who was slaughtered in the distance.
The Demon King Galvoron, a huge black dragon with nine heads.
It was the greatest and most disastrous enemy of mankind that I and my party had killed.
We infiltrated the large cave known as the Demon King’s Castle and were finally able to fulfill our mission to defeat him.
The rest of the mission was to return to the “Holy Land of Grateka,” the home country of the hero, and replace with another hero, but as soon as the Demon King was defeated, I was told that I would be fired.
“The client, the brave Alta, says I’m done with you! You’re no longer in charge, you fake!”
The man says depressingly.
He has golden hair and a well-groomed, elegant face. He is about the same height as the rest of us, and he is handsome, I guess you would call him.
But the way he speaks is very vulgar.
I let out a deep sigh.
“Abandoning a mission midway is a clear violation of the contract. Even if you, the client, ordered me to do so, I would be considered to have failed in my mission, and I would be solemnly questioned by the organization. Hero Alta, if that happens, I won’t be able to leave for nothing.”
“The Organization? Oh~, that ‘Handyman’s Guild’ …… Don’t worry, I’m not only a brave man but also a prince of the Holy Land of Grateka. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could pay double the request fee? ”
The Handyman’s Guild? …… No, this guy doesn’t get it. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
I nodded reluctantly in disgust.
“I understand ……. But there is one thing I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“What are you going to do with your …… party mates? They are also your fiancées,…….”
“Ah? It’s already decided! As promised, we should go back to the castle and get married right away~! I can’t help but feel tingle in my lower body right now. That’s why you, the fake one, are getting in the way, Gyahahahaha!”
The hero Alta sneers with a vulgar line.
He is the worst, this guy.
Such nice people are so pitiful with this guy. ……
I glanced at the party through the shadows.
Karina is a beautiful princess knight with long golden hair neatly tied back and wearing pure white armor.
Fiala, a beautiful saint in a neat priest’s uniform with silvery silky hair swinging around her waist.
Miriel, a beautiful girl of the elf tribe and an excellent bowman with a short-cut green hair.
Manisa, an intelligent, bespectacled sorceress with softly wavy dark blue hair and two melons on her chest.
All of them are strong, talented, and excellent, and all of them are beautiful and lovely in body and soul.
They are looking for me with desperate expressions, the hero …… who suddenly disappeared.
I’m …… sorry.
I will never appear before you again.
And thank you.
Thanks to all of you, I was able to get back what was important to me.
“I understand. I’ll leave you now.”
Saying this, I took off my bloody armor and handed the holy sword to the hero.
Alta frowned and put on his equipment, saying, “Uwaa, it smells fishy!” and put on the equipment.
I turned to walk away.
“So, Fake, what did you say your name was again?”
He asked me unexpectedly, and I stopped walking without turning around.
“You don’t need to know. Fake hero, that’s all.”
“I see. See you then! Hee hee~, I will enjoy my first night, I will not let you sleep.”
With Alta, the hero, smiling obscenely and shallowly at me, I disappeared from the Demon King’s castle.
I left the cave and removed the special makeup I had been wearing to disguise myself as a hero.
I revealed my simple, bare face with black hair.
I am proud to say that I have no distinctive features. That is why I think my face is suitable for disguise.
For the first time in a long time, I feel the wind on my cheeks.
It’s a strange feeling of refreshment, even though I was unjustly dismissed by a hero.
“—okay, I’m going to quit the ‘assassination organization’ and become truly free!”
I straighten my back and decide to do so.
I am late in introducing myself.
My name is Seti.
I don’t have a last name. In the first place, the boss did not give me anything other than my name.
One thing I can say is that I belong to an organization called “Hades,” which is active in the underworld throughout the continent, and that in that world I am the strongest top assassin feared as “Seti, the God of Death”.
That’s all there is to it.
**********
After Seti left, Alta, the hero, equipped and ready to go, appeared in front of his fellow party members.
“Hey~! everyone~ thank you for waiting~! The Demon King was tough!”
“Is that you, ……, the hero?”
The princess knight Karina asked with narrowed eyes.
“That’s right~! This is the hero Alta von Yukein, who is your fiancée~. Your cute, honey”
“There’s no doubt about it.”
“Hmm? What do you mean, Manisa?
“….Nothing.”
Maneesa, the sorceress, folded her arms and turned away.
Alta tilted his head and gulped at the sight of Manisa’s well-coordinated, ample breasts.
Soon they will all be his. He can’t wait to see the bedroom.
Just imagining it makes his lower body tingle with excitement along with the urge.
“So, Alta-sama. Where is the other person?”
“Hnn? Fiala, what do you mean?”
“The other hero! We all know!”
Following Fiala, the priestess, the elf, Meiriel, also inquired in a stern tone of voice.
“The other hero?! What are you talking about! I, Alta, am the only brave one!”
“It’s unsightly, Hero. Isn’t that what Miri just said? We all knew…that he often took the place of another person.”
“Especially during and after battles, when he go out at night without us noticing? So far, we’ve been silent so as not to bother him.”
“What are you talking about, Karina and Manisa? What proof do you have that I have been impersonated?”
“Even though you look the same, your tone of voice, your dignity, your atmosphere, your knowledge of intelligence, your overwhelming strength, your kindness to protect the weak and care for your fellow team, and your purity …… are all different from his!”
“Manisa was right earlier! I’ve vowed to keep quiet about this until we kill the Demon King! We have to see him now!”
At the words of Fiala and Miriel, Alta closed his mouth and said, “Ugh!”
They knew everything, didn’t they? ……
He realize it now.
“So, hero, where is that man?”
“I fired …… him. Just now.”
“””Haaa!??””””
The color of all the fiancées’ eyes changed.
This is definitely a bad one.
Their temperament and fighting power, their horror, is well understood by Alta herself.
Alta turned pale and screamed, “Hiiiii!” and fell on his buttocks on the spot with a scream.
“I-I fired him! He’s already gone, that fake bastard!”
“I see, okay. So, what’s his name and identity?”
“I don’t know. I hired him from the black market ‘Handyman’s Guild’ …… What are you going to do, Manisa?”
“Of course. We have to find him. …… We don’t want you to be the real hero! It’s him!”
“W-What did you say! ? Do not be silly! I’m the prince of the sacred country of Grateka, and I’m a true hero who underwent an oracle ritual! I’m sure you guys have made it this far because of that benefit! But when you look for such a fake! ? What are you going to do about getting engaged to me? ! ! ? “
“””” I’m breaking off my engagement with you as of now!””””
Hero Alta was immensely upset by the breakup from all of his fiancées, which was suddenly thrust upon him.
