“Well, it’s fine if you don’t understand. Since you don’t understand, it’s nothing bad.”
Kagami finished talking and resumed walking, putting a foot outside of the room.
“Please wait. Even if you leave, I won’t be satisfied with not understanding. Although I understand that you are incredible, at least tell us the reason that you won’t fight the Demon King.”
Palna finally spoke, genuinely concerned. She had chosen the path of fighting to enjoy a fun life while obtaining wealth and fame, but this Villager did not seem to have the same desire for power.
“Good grief. It’s difficult to try and explain it. It doesn’t mean that you guys are mistaken, so ain’t it fine if you ignore me? There’s no point unless you realize it yourself.”
“At least…just a hint…”
Next, the timid Tina asked a question. The moment Kagami looked back at her, her body trembled and she tried to look away with an “eek!”.
“What has the Demon King done to humans? What have humans done to the Demon King?”
After Kagami finally answered, he left the glowing room and disappeared into the darkness of the dimly lit cave.
Everyone left inside puzzled over the mysterious words that he had left them.
Things the Demon King had done to humans? The Demon King spawned Monsters, which brutally murdered countless numbers of people. Things humans had done to the Demon King? They tried to kill the Demon King in order to release the people from their suffering. That was all. That was the only reason.
As for whether it was funny or there was a reason not to fight, they couldn’t understand it at all.
The Villager had also said that “It doesn’t mean that you guys are mistaken.”
It wasn’t a mistake to try to defeat the Demon King. However, it wasn’t an achievement either. It wasn’t a reason to fight with the Demon King. It wasn’t a reason to obtain wealth and fame?
“No more! I don’t understand it! What is that guy!”
Tina was unable to understand the reason and puffed her cheeks in response.
“That Villager…is probably a Villager who is stronger than any other Role.”
Whether or not she felt depressed with those unbelievable remarks, Palna sighed and stated her thoughts. She then noticed that Rex was glaring at the entrance of the room.
“Rex? What’s wrong? Staring at the entrance of the room like a beast…if it’s about the Villager from earlier, I am fairly certain that he isn’t in this area anymore?”
“That guy…when he passed me, he said something strange.”
Krul, who was slightly depressed from being rejected, showed interest in Rex’s words.
“What…did he say?”
“‘You…still don’t know the System of this world’…is what he said.”
“Sys…tem?”
When they heard this, the mystery of the Villager grew.
“That person…what exactly does he know?”
“I don’t know, but one thing is clear.”
Rex responded to Krul, who had put a hand on her chin while staring at the doorway that the Villager had left through. He began to walk towards the cave’s darkness, just like the Villager had, with resolve.
Certainly, he did not know the System of this world. If that was the case, then it would be fine if he learned about this System…and surpassed that Villager. It was impossible for a Villager to be able to do something that he could not.
Things like the Holy Sword didn’t matter anymore. Now, there was something inside him…a reliable power that didn’t need such things.
The absolute confidence to take down the Demon King…to gain this power. He could do it. He definitely could.
“I…must become the strongest of them all!”
A burning desire to obtain the power to surpass the Level 999 Villager lit up inside of him, as if it had become his new obsession.
