Just when we were about to head out, the flustered Yoru and Tsuda rushed in.

Rather, weren’t they with Kurou and Ria.

Was it alright to leave the two of them by themselves?

「Ah! They’re here!! We barely made it in time!!!」

『I told you that the two of them were here! You didn’t listen to me!』

「Say it with more confidence.」

The howling Yoru was really noisy.

Or rather, weren’t you getting chummy with the hero party members too quickly.

「Did something happen?」

I called out to the two who seemed to be searching for someone.

Perhaps Kurou had sent them on a quick errand.

Catching their breath, the two people exchanged glances and then Kurou opened his mouth to speak.

『We’re looking for the stupid-looking hero over there.』

The surprised hero, whose mouth was wide-open, heard that and quickly closed his mouth.

「As well as, Noa-san.
We were told to call you two….

Tsuda said this and timidly peeked at Noa’s face.

I tilted my head in confusion.

From the way Tsuda said that, it didn’t seem as if Kurou was the one who called for them.

「Who was it.
Was it my idiot son?」

「Ah, no.
It’s your daughter.」

Even though Yoru purposely made it ambiguous as to who asked to see them, Tsuda honestly answered her. 

However, Noa’s daughter, wasn’t that Kurou’s younger sister?

Wasn’t she supposed to be dead.

Perhaps he noticed our bafflement, Yoru opened his mouth to speak.

『…due to the magic tool that the previous hero created, the hero and your daughter had come from the world of the afterlife for a day.』

He gave a concise summary. 

It seems that the souls of Kurou’s younger sister and the previous hero had come to this world from the world of the dead because of the previous hero’s magic tool.

Even in this world, it was impossible to call upon those who had passed away, but such a thing was something that one would expect from the previous hero.

For him to be a『hero』despite not having come from another world through a hero summoning, it seems that he was, most likely, not your average guy.

Hearing this, Noa seemed like she understood something.

However, she didn’t seem happy that she could meet her daughter who was supposed to be dead.

I had only met her today, so I could not tell what she was thinking based on her facial expression, but even so, I knew that she wasn’t happy.

I wonder why.

「I see…then I’ll go.
You guys, lead the way.」

「If they called for me, then I’ll go too.
I might learn something important from my predecessor.」

Noa left the room to make her preparations.

She probably changed into clothes that didn’t hinder her movements.

The hero was already in a combat uniform, so he went with Tsuda as is.

After the two people left through the door, we sat back down in our chairs.

「Since Tsukasa-kun left, we need to rearrange the plan as well.」

「Aah.
if we went with what we had before, there would be too much of a burden on Kyousuke.」

Hearing Zeal-san’s words, Kyousuke and I nodded.

The hero, whose status values were highest after mine, was stable in both attack and defence, and his field of vision was wide as well.

Based on my combat experience thus far, if my combat style was the model where everything revolved around a single person, then the hero’s was the party model where he encouraged his companions while working together with them.

And, Kyousuke and Zeal-san, who had fought side-by-side with such a hero up until now, were the type to fight together with their companions.

Even if companions that belonged to different types teamed up, what you have built up so far would only turn complicated. 

To put it simply, it was like putting the antisocial and social people in the class in one group.

This time, there was a reason why the coordinated party was separated.

I had not properly seen the hero’s party in combat, but I understood that they had the strength to traverse this forest.

I had heard about it from Kyousuke, more or less, but it seems that they had quite the rough journey.

However, what I was curious about was the fact that, Kyousuke and the hero had become fatigued as they approached this place, and there were many times when they were saved by the non-combatants. 

To put it simply, Kyousuke and the hero were putting in their all in every battle. 

I had also confirmed it with Zeal-san, but that certainly was the case. 

Maa, it seems that up until now, they had traveled from town to town, and completed requests from the guild, but they didn’t do any that was life-threatening. 

That’s why, they didn’t know how to end the battle quickly. 

If they didn’t know that, they would be needlessly exhausted just like on their journey here, and they would be pointlessly tired.

Even I, did not know in the beginning, so I needed to let them know before they died from exhaustion. 

「For now, based on comprehensive combat strength, I think that I should be the leader, but do you have any objections?」

Zeal-san and Kyousuke both nodded.

From what I heard from Noa, take the hero out and the combat strength of the party would immediately nose-dive, so even subjugating the Orgun would be difficult.

At any rate, our opponent is a monster that constantly moved through the forest, and even though we knew its general location thanks to the ring, we will have to fight the monsters in this forest that we had encountered on the way here.

「Though, it’s regrettable that we can’t take advantage of the two people’s cooperation.
Zeal-san, do you have any opinions?」

「…let’s see, then, I have a suggestion.」
