Two days have passed since we left King's Landing.

We arrived safely at the temple where the Holy Sword is stored.

With the temple in front of the gate, I took a breath of tension.

The brave will surely hold the Holy Sword in this shrine, defeat the demon king, and return the Holy Sword to this place once again to inherit to the next brave man.

It is my turn to join the new brave man in the work that has been going on since ancient times.

Soldiers from the country accompanying me were escorting me along the way, and they dealt quickly with the evil beasts (monsters) when they appeared.

However, it has been decided that only me and the royal family can enter the temple.

I mean, there's only two of us from here.

"What's up, brave man?

"Ah, no... I'm just a little nervous."

The other princess standing in front of the gate called out to me as she stepped into the temple.

When I left King's Landing ─ ─ I met him for the first time, but he was, as rumored, so beautiful as to be confused with the goddess. I've never seen a woman as beautiful as her, though I don't think it's so good to inferior her. [M]

After completing a brief introduction, I quickly boarded the carriage and left.

She often looked out the window with a sad look on her chest. I keep looking at that mysterious side in the narrow space of the carriage, and my chest beats more and more. [M]

But now she's next to me, not with the sad face of the time, but with a melancholy expression.

On the princess's hand is a stick of length approaching her height. The tip contains a jewel the size of a fist.

It was not just a decoration, but a weapon for her to fight.

"... are you sure you want to follow me, Eina?"

"There are a number of mechanisms inside the temple that you can't solve without drawing royal blood. I explained that to the brave man in advance."

The princess, Aina, answered with determination. There was no room for anxiety, and powerful words came back.

However, I continued to lay it over and over again.

"But... it's kind of like taking a girl..."

"Not just me, the King has taught our brothers and sisters martial arts as well as academics. Never let your feet tie your hands."

The tone is not a bluff, but rather a faint statement of facts. On the other hand, I'll wring. [M]

"Well then, please try not to get in front of me. I don't really want to see women get hurt."

"Don't worry. I can protect myself. You just have to focus on what's in front of you first."

I'm having a conversation with Eina, and I'm feeling kind of strange.

For some reason (...) when I spoke to the woman I had been dealing with, all the women held their mouths and suddenly their faces turned red and leaned. Conversations were often interrupted halfway through.

That's why Eina's reaction was so fresh in me.

Are you ready, Hero? Inside the temple, there is an evil beast (monster) wandering. "

"I'm listening to you in advance. The ancients who built this temple said it was an 'enemy' prepared to confirm the character of the brave."

I laid my hand on the handle of a sword that stood on my waist. [M] It was supplied by the King and far superior to the sword I used in the village. In addition, he was given breasts and cages to protect various parts of his body.

Besides, it seems that the "enemies" that appear in the temple are not as strong. Instead of eliminating the intruders, they're just trying to identify their heroic qualities.

There is no doubt that there is anxiety. But this is the first step I need to be a true hero. I don't have time to step on it.

"... I'm fine. Let's go, Eina."

"I see. Well then, brave man. Put your right hand forward."

With a sense of mission as a brave man in mind, I put my right hand forward as Eina told me. Then the holy marks engraved on the back of his hand became hot with light. In response to the light of the mole, the pattern engraved on the door of the temple also began to shine, and eventually the door was slowly opened to both sides.

Only brave men and royalty could enter this temple, but precisely only brave men could open its doors. In other words, this temple will only be opened when the Demon King's resurrection approaches and the hero gets the Holy Sword and returns it.

However, the interior of the temple, which was built a long time ago, was kept clean.

"The era when this temple was built has been documented as a far more advanced civilization than it is today. I don't know exactly what kind of technology it was, but it's probably because of it."

I suppose it was because he looked at the interior in a rare way. Eina explained that she was going through the passage of the temple.

"... don't let me distract you too much. Because the trial of the brave has already begun."

"I'm sorry, it was so strange."

Eina blames me, and I apologize with a bitter smile.

At that time, the enemy ─ ─ the evil beast (monster) appeared.

In a word, full body armor without contents. Each part of the armor is connected by an invisible thread, as if the armor were floating in space in the form of a man. They showed up with three weapons, swords and spears.

I've been exterminating the Urban Beast (Monster) in my home village until now, but it didn't look like any of the Urban Beasts (Monsters) I've ever seen.

I was stunned by the evil beast (monster) that appeared just before I regained consciousness. I didn't listen to my body dragging out the sword aggressively.

"Moving Armor (Living Armor). It is an evil beast (monster) that appears in abandoned castles and forts."

Aside from me, who was surprised by the appearance of mysterious armor, Eina was as calm as ever. With the wand at hand, he pointed his tip towards the mysterious armor ─ ─ one of them.

"Flame!

When the jewelry embedded in the tip of the wand shined, a flame was emitted from it.

For the first time at this time, I saw a mysterious secret called "magic." I was familiar with the existence itself, but I've never actually seen it with my own eyes.

The moving armor (living armor) does not have time to swing the sword that was held in the hand (basket to be precise), and is wrapped in the flame that Eina emitted. When the flames disappear, only burnt armor remains. A little bit later, it fell like a tortoise with a broken thread, and the impact caused the armor parts to fall apart and become immobile.

Dear brave man! Next time!

"─ ─ ─ ─!

My body reacted to Eina's scolding. When the sword was pulled out of the waist sheath, it ran into the remaining two moving armour (living armor).

I couldn't hide my surprise at first, but the moving armor (living armor) was not a strong enemy if dealt with calmly. It's not too soon to wave a weapon.

Perhaps he lacked the strength to support his body and weapon because he had no body.

We were able to defeat the remaining two in no time. Even if the armor part cannot be worn, when the joint part is impacted, it becomes immobile or separated from the body.

And when the human body attacked the heart and head, it stopped moving and fell to the floor in pieces.

"Good work, brave man."

"... ah, thank you."

The beast in the form of an animal (monster) has been exterminated many times, but this is the first time I have targeted a beast (monster) in the form of a human. Though she was weak, her chest palpitations still diverged even after she fell.

In contrast, Eina looked at them as calm and immobile armor.

"... Eina, you're quite calm."

"I told you before we went into the temple. My father told me that I had been trained since I was a kid. Among them, there were many opportunities for me to actually take on the evil beast (monster)."

─ ─ How about a princess who is more accustomed to fighting than a brave man?

Eina overlaps with me who is slightly upset. [M]

"The moving armor (living armor) usually has the resentment of those who died there, moving the flesh and child at the beginning of the temple... perhaps this temple is moving with some kind of force. Because I didn't feel the evil magic that leads to the kind of evil spirit that leads to the moving armor."

"I mean, the people who built the temple have prepared enemies."

"Similar evil beasts (monsters) should appear one after the other. This is where the show starts. Be careful, brave man."

I see.
