The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me.

Remnants of the hero (killed instantly)

He looks like a skeleton, like his face has been melted to mush by sulfuric acid, with an ugly appearance and a black haze that appears to be fading.

The equipment that he was vaguely wearing was somewhat of a hero’s face.

“…… Is that what’s left of Renya?”

I don’t like to fight demons.

With the blessings of the gods, a divine child of the Maijin, and a former holy knight, I’m pretty confident in my abilities when it comes to fighting demons.

But the demos are cunning, and they take human form.

It makes me feel bad when I beat them or fail to beat them.

And even if I am prepared for it and exorcise it while enduring the bad feeling, as a residue, the regret and grudge of the demon that was defeated will occur again somewhere nearby as a new demon.

Besides, the country is covered by a Maijin ward large enough to cover the country itself.

Renya was the only person in this country who could keep his demon form.

“Samurai Kagura ‘Ken no Mai'”

While dancing in a flowing manner. Like dancing a spare bronze sword for practice toward the devil. Aim the slash.

This one seems to be a demon that can’t fly.

I duck and dodge, and then I try to fight back against it.

“Kaguraa, yokumo-ooh!”

This demon isn’t Renya, he wasn’t born into it.

Demons are naturally occurring disasters that receive the fears, grudges, and thoughts of humans.

This is just a demon that Renya’s resentment, fear, and grudge have created.

This guy is not Renya.

But ……

“You’ve had enough, now go to sleep!”

Instant step.

With the speed of a single step over a mountain, I slashed through Renya.

It is neither a holy cross slash nor a true single character slash. Just a sword.

Not even the dance of the demon is dancing.

Even so, that demon was cut, eroded by the divine qi and disappearing as if it were melting and burning.

Newborn demons are weak.

Demons are born, and they grow stronger as they strike fear into people.

And the thought of a newborn demon is weak.

So even though the residue of killing this demon is born, it will be much, much weaker than it is now.

And I keep killing and killing the demons that are born.

When it finally becomes weak enough to not produce any residue, that’s when it can be completely exorcised.

“You were a Hero, too, so forget your grudge and go to heaven.”

At the very least, I wished him good luck in his next life, and, praying for his soul to rest in peace, I returned to the Maijin Shrine.

◇

A disturbing presence, a sign of a demon.

By the time Seraphy and the others sensed it, Kagura’s figure had already passed into the distance.

The overwhelming speed of the instantaneous steps.

And as he showed in the Guterres and Renya battles, he is the strongest fighter in the world when it comes to fighting demons.

On top of that, the overwhelming maneuverability of the newly acquired transfer dance during this time.

Kagura is truly the divine child of the strongest Maijin of all time.

At least, that’s what Kagura’s mother thinks.

Seraphy and the others also understood wholeheartedly that Kagura’s strength was no ordinary thing.

Kagura has left, in the precincts of the Maijin.

Kagura’s mother asks Seraphy and the other four, who are wearing miko uniforms.

“By the way, who’s going to be Kagura-kun’s bride?”

That one word dominated the place with a freezing tension.

Seraphy, Lelia, Teal, and Finnell were sure.

“You’re being tested.”

If I’m honest, everyone wants to answer, “It’s me,” and that I’m going to be a bride, and I uniformly think that I should be the only one that Kagura loves.

But more than that, everyone understood that they were not good enough for Kagura.

At least, not alone; everyone understood that he was weak enough to be a liability to Kagura.

So ……

“We all are”

After a breath, at the same time, the four of them answered.

“Well, that’s good, because I wasn’t sure what I’d do if they said it was just one of us.”

As if relieved, Kagura’s mother said so, and the tension in the place broke the ice.

“That’s right … Maigami’s wife has been a hindrance to the owner for generations.-Including me. It’s hard to talk to Kagra-kun directly, so I’ll talk to you right now.”

That person explained why Kagra’s father became a demon king … 

◇

“The head of the dance god has been for generations, always with an unfortunate end.”

Kagra’s mother has a mysterious look that I have never seen, and I hope she confesses herself. Sadly, I was leaking words.

“An Unfortunate End: ……”

“Yes, Maijin’s ancestors, that person, and Kagura are all extremely strong, so much so that they can never fall behind the Demon Lord.

But my dad is …….

After defeating the remnants of the brave, Kagura came back, because the air is like this, it is difficult to enter, and it is like eavesdropping.

There was no doubt that she felt guilty, but more than that, Kagura felt pain in his chest as he anticipated his mother’s words ahead.

I thought I couldn’t leave even more.

“And yet, Lord Kagura’s father…”

“He became a demon king because of me.”

“Became ……”

I’m choking up; I’m tense.

“The divine child of the Dancing God is extremely strong, but there’s an enemy that’s just as strong, and at that time, all the divine children of the Dancing God have been defeated by demons in the same way.

He’s holding me hostage–he’s covering for me, and he’s …… he’s ……”

She speaks with regret and sorrow.

Seraphy and the others also had an idea.

Finnell was kidnapped by Renya, and both Lelia and Teal would have lost to Renya at the drop of a hat, and could have been a liability to Kagura.

On top of that, Seraphy, Lelia, Teal, and Finnell.

As for the work of Kagura’s divine children, the most they can do is to stay at the shrine while Kagura is away and support her with cleaning and cooking.

Even if you’re a stay-at-home mom, you don’t have the confidence to defend yourself if a strong opponent like the Renya of old shows up.

“To be honest, I was relieved when you said you would marry off four of us, because I was alone, and I couldn’t support you.

the four of you, please, support Kagura.”

Kagura’s mother said and bowed to the four of them.

“Keep your head up.””

“Yes, it’s only natural to support Kagura-san!”

“Same on the right.”

“Me too.”

Seraphy bowed her head as if she was afraid, and Teal showed her two fists clenched in front of her face as if to reassure her.

Lelia and Finnell agreed, thinking …… that they were going to say it.

“(…… I think you’ve got my full support already)”

Kagura thought about it, but he was too embarrassed to go any further, so he jumped onto the roof without making a sound and headed for a suitable vacant room.

From Kagura’s point of view, Seraphy, Lelia, Teal, and Finnell are all strong.

It’s strong enough to watch my back, it’s so cute, and it’s attractive. Moreover, he is a god of dance, so he will be busy and burdensome. Do your best.

I was grateful from the bottom of my heart.

That’s why I feel that I must respond.

“(Mom practically admitted it, though it was really up to me.)”

I decided that I would propose to them after I saved my dad and got everything sorted out.

Until then, you’ll have to wait.

Behind Kagura who thinks so inwardly.

“Kagura, can I have a word with you?”

“Oh, yeah. ……”

My mom was standing there.

…… something? Did I do something to make you angry?
