LV999 Villager

NT: I dont have too much to say Errrm, hows everything around here? Fine, I guess. Things start to calm down, but the two subway stations that were relatively close to my house are dead, so Catora will have a lot of trouble getting to his University for some time, so Well, my classes got canceled again this week, so I can keep ignorig that problem for another week.

Now, lets go to the main topic. Do you want to move on to the next stage? or do you prefer to return to the surface and spend your days in peace? choose. Of course, this is a special occasion produced by the wish of that Villager. For that reason, you will not be able to make any wish when you move on to the Next Stage. If you still want to move on to the Next Stage then come closer

Almost at the same time that theDark Dragonsaid that, everyone, except for David, advanced towards theDark Dragon. Seeing that, theDark Dragonlaughed slightly snorting with his nose while admiring the determination with which they had taken a step forward without showing the slightest sign of doubt, then he muttered, As expected, as if he had already expected this would happen.

We only have one wish, and to fulfill it, we need to go to the Next Stage we need to go with Kagami-san

Then, as if they agreed with Alices words, everyone took another step toward theDark Dragonas they nodded.

Do you agree not to go?

Its not that I dont want to help Kagami-sama. Its just that I have my own way to help him. Also, I would only be a hindrance if I accompanied them

After saying that, David showed his Status Window. After verifying the contents of his Status Window, theDark Dragonclosed his eyes and nodded convinced, then said, As I thought, interesting people will always gather around other interesting people, while smiling.

Lets continue. Then I will send you to the surface with my power. And your memories about this will remain intact

Thanks for your consideration. I appreciate you doing that

After hearing the words of theDark Dragon, David was surprised at how different he was compared to what he had previously heard, and involuntarily ended up smiling thinking that this was somehow due to Kagamis influence, then he said that while bowing.

Are you ready?

Neither David, who decided to stay, nor the rest, who decided to move forward, felt insecure about the decision they had made. For that reason, they were able to look at theDark Dragonconvinced of that what they had done was the right thing, and sure of what they should do next, so they only said goodbye to each other, nodding slightly with their heads.

Anyway, do we have to defeat some powerful enemy in the Next Stage? If so, then we will only go together and defeat him among all. So David, wait for us calmly

Things will not be so easy

Ah? Wont it be like that? What will we face then?

Thats something that you should confirm with your own eyes

At the same time that Palna showed a dubious look in response to the words of theDark Dragon, theDark Dragonbegan to be enveloped by a purple blue light which began to shine more and more intensely. Then, as the intensity of the light gradually increased, it began to spread along the vast space in which they were, until finally covering every corner of the place with the light.

Then, immediately after the light covered the entire area, it disappeared, leaving only theDark Dragon and Alice and Menou, who were alarmed after realizing that they were the only ones, in addition to theDark Dragon, who remained in the area .

I trust in youHeroes!

NT: (The Furigana I added, it was not included in the Raw. I will be adding it from now on every time they mention the Hero so that there is no confusion regarding which type they refer to). I think that I explained it recently, butboth Yuusha and Eiyu would translate as Hero, however, differently. Yuusha refers to a Brave Person while Eiyu refers to a Great Person. Errrm if I had to say it differently Yuusha is the type of chosen hero. Someone with the destiny of being a Hero or, chosen by the gods so to speak. Rex would be that type of Hero (a Hero chosen by the system which has the task of fulfilling a certain role). I mean, its someone who is chosen to save the world. On the other hand, Eiyu is the type of Hero who becomes one for its own achievements. That is, someone who was recognized as a hero for the feats it has accomplished. In this case theDark Dragonwould call them Eiyu since they have become Hero candidates for having proved themselves to be qualified for it. The Heroes who are usually talked about in history, as important characters from countries and the like, should be heroes of the Eiyu type. People whose name was taxed in history for their achievements. Personally, I have always liked Eiyu more than Yuusha. Why? Because I feel that the Hero (Eiyu) is more authentic than the Hero (Yuusha).

Wa-Wait a moment. Where where did they all go?

Alice asked alarmed as she ran to theDark Dragon, which seemed to have a distant look. On the other hand, Menou laid his hand on his anguished forehead after realizing that things seemed to have turned out as he expected.

The one who decided to stay in this world has already returned to the surface. On the other handtheHeroeshave already moved on to the Next Stage

As I thought Its just like you said last time. We cant move on to the Next Stage, isnt it?

After hearing those words, Alice turned back with a surprised look.

No, the Demons cant go. But you are the exception. After all, that Villagers wish also included you

What do you mean? In that case, why are we still here?

Calm down. If I did not intend to send you to the Next Stage, I would have already returned you to the surface. You would be next to the one who decided to stay in this world

Both, unable to understand what theDark Dragonmeant, ended up feeling even more confused. Then, theDark Dragonapproached the two of them, and with a look that looked as if he were examining them,

Before of that, I would like to have a chat with you

And said that as he bowed until his head was at the level of their eyes, as if he wanted to speak to them as an equal.
