456.

 

The world was shaken by the abnormal incident that occurred in the Kingdom of Delaad.

 

The communication magic and spatial movement magic systems of the western continent were completely disrupted in an instant.

 

Along with that, ominous dark clouds covered the sky.

 

The world was gripped with terror at phenomena resembling the return of the calamity that occurred 3000 years ago.

 

After the severity of the situation became apparent, Dragonnia issued a hero mobilization order.

 

Accordingly, hero guilds and hero associations existing throughout the world began to move.

 

The world was seized with tension, keeping a sharp watch on Tartaros’s movements as well.

 

Heroes who grasped the situation watched the circumstances with heightened nerves.

 

After that dawn filled with despair and terror passed.

 

When morning broke.

 

The abnormal situation completely disappeared.

 

Many heroes who had been seriously assessing the situation felt both relief and bewilderment.

 

And astonishing news was delivered.

 

【Terror from 3000 Years Ago! The Primordial Evil! Has Resurrected!】

 

News about Erebos spread throughout the world through newspapers.

 

When everyone felt terror at this.

 

Another piece of news was delivered.

 

【Hero Who Opened His Eyes After 5000 Years! Another Legendary Return Following the Progenitor of the Starry Skies and the Comet Mage!】

 

The people of the world were excited by the news that Hero Arron had revealed himself and subjugated the resurrected Erebos.

 

Accordingly, holy pilgrimages began.

 

After the major incident, the training camp schedule was quickly wrapped up.

 

Some returned to enjoy their respective vacations, while others remained in the Flobe Estate’s territory.

 

Two days after the training camp ended, late at night.

 

Cal, along with Runia, Ar, Eiran, and Driana, had gathered in a guest room to chat.

 

“As expected, people need to be thoroughly prepared, don’t they?”

 

Cal smiled broadly as he took out items one by one from a box onto the desk.

 

Seeing this, Runia opened her eyes drowsily.

 

“What’s that now?”

 

“What do you mean what? They’re figurines.”

 

What Cal had taken out were none other than palm-sized figurines of Arron.

 

The extremely intricately made figurines of Arron were posed in various cool positions.

 

“So who doesn’t know that? Why did you make so many of those things?”

 

“Why ask something so obvious? To sell them.”

 

“Are you crazy? You’re going to use a great hero as a money-making tool? Do you want to get arrested for blasphemy?”

 

Runia made an expression of disbelief.

 

In elven society, using the Progenitor of the Starry Skies to make money or satisfy personal greed would get you arrested for blasphemy.

 

Since it involved exploiting a great hero of their noble race, the crime was considered severe and punished harshly.

 

“It’s illegal among elves, right? But not for beastmen.”

 

Cal grinned slyly.

 

“Ah! There’s no such law in beastman society.”

 

When Eiran nodded in admiration, Runia crossed her arms and snorted.

 

“Hmph! Even if there’s no such law, the beastmen won’t stand for you daring to use Lord Arron as a business tool, will they?”

 

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. I told you. People need to be thoroughly prepared.”

 

Cal made a smug expression and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket to show Runia.

 

After receiving and reading it, Runia made a reluctant expression.

 

It was a contract stating that Cal had permission to make and sell figurines of Arron himself.

 

“When did you get permission for this?”

 

“Heh, the moment I realized Lord Arron had come from the Heroes’ World, I had a feeling! That holy pilgrimages and such would be a huge hit. I got Lord Arron’s guarantee too, so wealthy tourists! Especially selling them expensively to beastmen! Uhahahaha!”

 

“Why do you like money so much? As far as I know, you already have considerable wealth even as a student? Besides, with your abilities, you’ll be able to obtain plenty of riches even after graduation.”

 

“I’m curious too. I know you’re openly materialistic, but I also know you’re a pretty decent guy. You’re not someone who would obsess over wealth beyond necessity.”

 

At Driana’s words, Runia also nodded and looked at Cal.

 

When Eiran also made a curious expression, Cal scratched his head awkwardly.

 

“You all know that I’m not cut out for great positions like being a hero or anything.”

 

“That’s right.”

 

“Yeah, correct.”

 

“Oh, no! Cal, you’re definitely capable of it.”

 

Driana and Runia answered immediately, while Eiran didn’t know what to do and tried to comfort Cal.

 

“Thanks, Eiran. For saying something nice. You really are different from these foul-tempered elf and dwarf.”

 

At Cal’s words, Runia’s eyes flashed.

 

Avoiding that, Cal spoke.

 

“I’m aiming to be a supporter, but I don’t want to just help you in combat.”

 

Cal shrugged his shoulders.

 

“Whether it’s necessary equipment, materials, or potions. I want to obtain everything possible to help you all. For that, I think I’ll need a lot of money.”

 

“How much are you planning to collect?”

 

“At least enough to buy a country?”

 

Seeing Cal make a meaningful expression, Runia and Eiran widened their eyes.

 

“You were thinking more deeply than expected?”

 

“How reliable! Cal!”

 

Runia and Eiran were impressed.

 

“Cal! You really are my wonderful friend!”

 

On the contrary, Driana was delighted and hugged Cal tightly.

 

Looking down at such Driana, Cal said.

 

“I have zero intention of sponsoring your art projects.”

 

At those words, Driana’s face scrunched up.

 

“Why are you being so petty? A man who says he’ll buy a whole country, how can you be so small-minded! If you sponsor me, who will become a great artist following in Master Dweno’s footsteps, your name will be remembered for generations!”

 

Seeing Driana return to her original speech pattern, Cal said.

 

“If I sponsor money for your artistic activities, Master Dweno would grab me by the collar and not let it slide, right? And rather than sponsoring money for your artistic activities, burying that money in the ground would be more beneficial.”

 

“How is the meaningless act of burying money in the ground beneficial?”

 

“At least people in the world won’t have to see your terrible works.”

 

“That’s definitely a valid point.”

 

Runia chimed in agreement with Cal’s words.

 

Seeing this, when Driana raised her fist, Eiran was horrified and stopped her.

 

“By the way, why is that cat acting like that?”

 

In the Flobe Family mansion.

 

In one corner of the room, Ar was silently looking down at the broken Brave.

 

“She seems melancholy about Lord Arron’s departure.”

 

When Eiran spoke worriedly, Runia and Driana looked at each other’s faces, nodded, and approached Ar.

 

“How long are you going to stay depressed?”

 

“Right. Don’t think only about Lord Arron so much.”

 

At that consolation, Ar got up from her spot.

 

And she came into the room with her head lowered.

 

“Hey, Ar. Don’t be so melancholy…”

 

“Don’t touch me.”

 

Avoiding Runia’s hand that was trying to grab her shoulder, Ar spoke coldly.

 

At that attitude, Runia hesitated and then narrowed her brow.

 

“Even so, isn’t your attitude too cold?”

 

“How dare you try to touch me!”

 

Ar, whose mood suddenly changed, swiftly avoided Runia’s touch.

 

Seeing Ar with a triumphant face, Runia made a dumbfounded expression.

 

“I, Ar Tune, was directly acknowledged as a successor by Lord Arron! I’m on a different level from you guys, a different level!”

 

At Ar’s reaction, Cal leaned back against the sofa and spoke indifferently.

 

“Did you guys think she’d be dejected?”

 

Hearing Cal’s words, Driana furrowed her brow and asked.

 

“So? What do you mean by being on a different level?”

 

“Runia, did you hear directly from Lady Luna that you’re her successor? No, right? Driana. You didn’t either, right? Only me. I’m the only one acknowledged as a successor by a Great Hero!”

 

Ar laughed “Heh!” and closed her eyes, nodding “Mm-hmm!”

 

“Ah~ Successor. What a wonderful sound that has?”

 

Ar muttered as if savoring the word, then immediately widened her eyes.

 

“Do you think it makes sense for someone like me to dine at the same table as you guys?! This is now my era!”

 

At those words, Runia and Driana looked at each other’s faces and nodded.

 

Driana approached Ar from behind as she wagged her tail and grabbed her so she couldn’t move.

 

“Ready? Runia.”

 

“Of course. Driana. Hold her tight. I’m going to hit hard.”

 

“Hit the solar plexus.”

 

“Nyaaaaaaak?!”

 

Watching the three causing a commotion, Cal asked Eiran.

 

“Aren’t you going to stop them?”

 

“There’s no point in stopping them when they’re like that, right?”

 

“You’ve grown too.”

 

Cal admired while looking at the three and muttered pitifully.

 

“Lady Luna, Lord Arron, and Lord Dweno would be so sad if they saw this.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Wouldn’t they be sad seeing the kids who are called their successors acting like that?”

 

“Somehow I don’t think they’d be sad.”

 

When Eiran scratched her cheek, Cal paused then nodded.

 

“That does seem likely.”

 

The two had already lost many of their illusions about the Great Heroes.

 

“By the way, Lord Leo isn’t coming out of his room?”

 

“Right, could you go check on him once? I’ll stop these guys.”

 

“L-Lord Leo’s room? At this late hour? By myself?”

 

Eiran, who was noticeably flustered, blushed.

 

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Cal scratched his cheek and asked.

 

“Should I go with you?”

 

“I’ll go by myself.”

 

Leaving those words, Eiran quickly left the room.

 

Watching her retreating figure, Cal muttered.

 

“She’s definitely grown.”

 

***

 

His own room in the frontier mansion.

 

It was a room incomparably larger than the one in the capital mansion.

 

This was a characteristic of frontier noble families.

 

Since the land was vast, the rooms were unnecessarily large.

 

Leo sat in a chair by the window, gazing at the full moon while downing the alcohol in his glass.

 

In his previous life as Kail, he often enjoyed drinking, but after being reborn, he didn’t particularly enjoy alcohol. It wasn’t because he was young or because of academy rules.

 

‘Because there’s no particular need to drink.’

 

The Great Heroes all drank frequently.

 

Not just the Great Heroes.

 

All the heroes who lived in that era drank frequently.

 

It was to forget the difficult times, even if just a little, through alcohol.

 

‘Well, Luna and Dweno really did drink heavily because they genuinely liked it.’

 

Resting his chin on his hand, Leo chuckled and spoke.

 

“Stop hesitating and come in.”

 

He already knew there was a visitor at his door.

 

And naturally, he knew who that visitor was.

 

At Leo’s words, a small presence flinched, then carefully opened the door and peeked out her face.

 

And she smiled brightly and asked.

 

“Leo oppa, what are you doing?”

 

“Just thinking about some things.”

 

The visitor was none other than Chelsea.

 

At Leo’s answer, Chelsea entered the room, closed the door, and approached Leo.

 

Then she saw the bottle of alcohol in front of Leo and widened her eyes.

 

“You’re drinking?”

 

At those words, Leo responded with a smile instead of an answer.

 

Watching such Leo, Chelsea hesitated.

 

Seeing such Chelsea, Leo pointed to the seat in front of him.

 

Chelsea sat in front of Leo and looked at him silently.

 

Even under Chelsea’s gaze, Leo silently looked out the window.

 

The gentle moonlight streaming from outside made Leo’s white hair sparkle.

 

After watching that sight for a moment, Chelsea took a deep breath as if making a resolution.

 

“Leo oppa.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Watching Leo answer while pouring alcohol, Chelsea, who had been hesitating, opened her mouth.

 

“I heard from Lord Arron. That Leo oppa is… the Hero of the Beginning, Lord Kail.”
