Meanwhile, in the depths of the Imperial Palace.

Altrich, sitting in the prime minister’s office, had his mouth hanging over his ear despite the sudden overtime.

It was because of the unbelievable victories that came from a party of heroes whom he thought was a loser.

“The Goddess has not abandoned mankind yet, yes.”

He was smiling so much that, to those who didn’t know, he looked just like a kind middle-aged man. As he brushed his short beard, he pondered the thoughts of the warrior party.

‘When I heard that the Succubus Queen had fallen, I was skeptical.’

Because the Succubus Queen was a cunning monster, she could even disguise her death.

‘But Archdaemon is different.’

However, the achievement of defeating the second Four Heavenly Kings who fell this time, the Screaming Archdaemon, was undeniable. The monster, who usually chained himself to suppressing his madness, couldn’t do anything like that. Defeating these two meant that the Hero Party achieved the greatest feat in nearly 30 years.

And then, I got scared. Although it was well packaged as a party with promising prospects to grow with, it was actually because he consumed the hero’s party as a discard card for political evasion. Even if I had a grudge, there was nothing to say. So Altrich immediately ordered a large reception and ball to be held, so as not to offend anyone.

The invitation to send to the hero’s party was being written in the name of the president himself. Altrich, who had been writing for a while, asked the lieutenant who was sitting in front of him as if he had suddenly remembered.

“By the way, how did you get so strong?”

“Yes?”

“At the time of the expedition, it was said that he was too weak, so there was no hope. I was just going to use it for propaganda if I just picked up one of the 72nd rank, the heir of the lowest rank, or even a high-ranking demon head…”

“Ah, I’ve found the cause. It’s this man. It is said that this man’s joining was decisive.”

The lieutenant took out the paperwork. The document had a large picture of Jain embedded in it. Perhaps because it was written in haste, most of the information was left blank. Altrich murmured in surprise.

“Red Mage?”

“Yeah. He said that he helped the party with his overwhelming ability, so his power increased tremendously.”

“Hmm…”

Altrich proceeded to read the papers in doubt. There wasn’t much to see in the material yet. Altrich, who had read almost to the end in an instant, frowned at the one-line sentence.

‘There is a rumor that the direction of achievement is very unique.’

“Lieutenant, there’s no need to write down the things below your waist, right?”

“Sorry, I’m sorry! I’ll tell the person in charge! The person in charge said that this is the only weakness of this person, and he had to write it down…”

“Well, it’s heroic sensuality, so maybe that’s okay. All right.”

After thinking for a moment, Altrich asked again.

“If I summon the Brave Party, will this person also come to the ball?”

“Yeah, probably.”

“If you suddenly joined to catch the Demon King from the Demon Continent, then it could be a gein who was hiding in the Demon Continent.”

“ah!”

“Islanders have a bad habit. If you see a countryman, you implicitly ignore it. To prevent that from happening, drop the order.”

“What spirit are you talking about?”

“Only this person should be treated with the same courtesy as the royal family and the golden eagle.”

Since money is unclean, there was an unwritten rule that the imperial family should not carry money. Therefore, it was customary for those of the royal family to enter the store and give out the goods upon request, and to pay the price later in the imperial family. Now Altrich was insisting that Zain be treated like that. It was an extraordinary treat.

“So far, you mean?”

“Do you remember how much blood was shed to catch one Baal? Two necks of the Four Heavenly Kings are not as good as Baal’s neck, but it should be enough.”

“However…”

“I will take responsibility. Let’s proceed.”

“I knew!”

The lieutenant bowed and greeted. It was the day after Altrich had concluded the prom for the hero’s party. The lieutenant’s face turned white and he opened the door to the office again.

“The Prime Minister! The palace is full of such bizarre letters!”

“Where, see.”

As he rewrote his one-piece glasses, Altrich opened the letter the lieutenant had brought in contemplation. Upon checking the contents, his expression was full of delusion.

“An assassination notice?”

“Wow, really, it’s so pretty!”

On the other hand, at that time, the hero party who returned from the portal and unpacked their luggage at the detached palace was preparing for the ball. At the prom, they were trying on a dress in advance and praising each other. Karin admired Nael, who wore a white dress that matched her hair color.

“No, no matter how you look at it, Karin is prettier!”

Nael smiled broadly and returned the compliment. At that, Karin blushed and hesitated. She was boldly wearing a see-through evening dress that showed off her upper breasts.

“Gee, really?”

“Yeah! The most beautiful thing in the world!”

“It was my dream to have a conversation like this with my female friend…”

Karin smiled mischievously and glanced at Jain. Unlike the other party members, he was still wearing a red mage’s robe, and had been scribbling something in his notebook from a while ago. It looked like he was doing some calculations.

‘Bad boy, don’t you even look at me? I wore it with courage…’

Someone grabbed Karin’s hand. It was Ren. Wearing a polka dot dress studded with blue jewels, with her hair raised modestly, she smiled broadly and praised Karin.

“Yeah, really pretty! It’s similar to what Elaine wears, but I think she digests better than Elaine!”

“Ahaha, is that so?”

“Yeah! If Elaine had worn that outfit, her breasts would have overflowed and she would have been in trouble! I think it’s the perfect outfit for Karin!”

As she smiled and scratched her head, Karin felt a little uncomfortable. Is this commendable? He smiled because he felt something was wrong, but Ren was still smiling brightly. Seeing that smile dispelled his doubts, and Karin just smiled like an idiot.

“Hero, you’re so cool!”

“Who, if you want to get autographs, stand in line. I’m confident in fan service.”

On the other hand, the warrior was also excited. The warrior, who had changed into a suit borrowed from the imperial family, was showing off his unnecessarily handsome appearance, as always. The maids did not know the reality, so they were rushing to the hero and arguing with his father. Seeing this, Karin put on a pathetic expression.

“He’s really…”

“Keep it off. You’d better let it be a happy moment.”

Leticia grabbed Karin’s arm as she was about to say something. She wore a dress resembling a knight’s uniform, and was quietly reading a martial arts book.

“Shut up. It’s distracting.”

It was Zain who poured cold water into the noisy atmosphere. The maids who were clinging to the hero looked at the hero as if frightened.

“Well, the line for autographs is long, so you better handle this outside!”

The hero flinched and left the room with the maids who had flocked to him. Jain was still scratching his head, calculating something. What Jain was so engrossed in calculating was the causal ratio. Jain, who had been writing something down on the paper for a long time, finally closed the notebook with a sad expression on his face.

‘great. No matter how much I searched, there was no causal interference in my actions that could change the main scenario.’

It was a pleasant conclusion. Now, the history of this world seemed to be flowing as the original story unfolded.

The world that Jain possessed was similar to a game, but it was not exactly the same world.

Most of the development of the events followed the original, but when the ‘causal ratio’ was damaged, the development of the events suddenly twisted and unheard of events occurred.

There were several actions that undermined causality. These include brainwashing key characters with mental interferometer magic like Gears, changing history with Terminus, abusing the game system, or making comments about the game system. At this time, Jain had not yet mastered the terminus, so checking was much more comfortable. It was because we only had to check Gears and the game system.

‘In a sense, it’s like an error popping up while playing a game using an unauthorized bug, and dummy data events are pouring in.’

In the early days of possession, when catching the corrupted spirit king, the causality ratio was completely broken and mobilized a trick to catch it, but the whole initial scenario was twisted and I had a hard time.

Since then, Jain has been extremely reluctant to interfere with causality. That was the reason why he took the form of conducting an adventure with a hero party without using extreme means. This was because the main scenario had to proceed according to the original.

So, since the beginning of high school, Jain has become in the habit of checking causality damage like this right before the main event.

And the result of the recent inspection was very good.

As far as Jain knew, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with this ‘assassination event’ now.

‘By now, the assassination notice must have arrived in Altrich’s room.’
