Taking a patient who isn’t fully healed is just a hindrance.

Thinking that way, I tried to refuse the White Tiger’s story, but it was Seol-rin who unexpectedly brought up a word here.

“I think it’s better to act together.”

“Seol-rin?”

Baek-ryeon seemed not to have expected Seol-rin to say such a thing, so she looked at Seol-rin with a puzzled expression.

Seol-rin, noticing my and Baek-ryeon’s gaze, rather frowned and said.

“Why?”

“No, I didn’t expect you to say that.”

“Um, that’s right…. I also didn’t know that Young Lady Seol-rin would say it’s better to act with White Tiger.”

“What do you think of me?”

Rather than how I was looking at her….

As me and Baek-ryeon couldn’t say anything and avoided her gaze, Seol-rin sighed and said.

“In the first place, White Tiger has already been targeted once. Is there a guarantee that the Beastman Alliance won’t target him again?”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, that’s right?”

“Are you a genius?!”

“…Are you an idiot?”

There is no explanation in the game as to why those guys caught the White Tiger.

It’s just that the Beastman Alliance, and furthermore, the Demon King’s fragment forces targeted the White Tiger as a device to connect the heroine Baek-ryeon with the protagonist, or I don’t know if there’s something else, but at the present moment, from the point of rescuing the White Tiger from their hands, there is no guarantee that they won’t target the White Tiger again….

“…But I thought the Four Symbols had restrictions? I think I heard that the Vermilion Bird can’t help humans because of that.”

“Um…, there were such restrictions. But they touched me first, so I don’t think Lord Black Tortoise will say anything.”

Is it okay to just gloss over it like that? I guess I can’t help it if that’s what he says.

Whether there are 3 or 5 people, it doesn’t make a big difference, so preparing to leave didn’t take that long.

Above all, now that the national isolation policy has been lifted, there is no reason to go by land on purpose, so all I have to do is go to the area near Sichuan directly through the sea route.

So, I set out to take a ship, but the speed was slower than I thought because I had to match the speed of the White Tiger, whose physical condition was not yet normal.

In the end, we decided to camp in the middle and each prepared for camping.

While I, who has a camping tent, was setting up the tent, Seol-rin started preparing the meal, and Baek-ryeon was looking for something to use as firewood with White Tiger….

“What are you doing?”

“I’m resting?”

“When I’m saying nicely, get up right now and help with something.”

“Heung.”

I immediately caught Lucy, who was trying to eat and play, and set up the tent.

Because I’ve set up tents so much that I’m sick of it, I’m now so skilled that I can set it up with my eyes closed, so I quickly set up the tent and looked around.

Lucy was sticking to Seol-rin and helping with meal preparation, and Baek-ryeon was walking around with White Tiger.

“Is this enough?”

“Yes, Lord White Tiger. Please do that.”

“…I see.”

Of course, White Tiger is the beginning and ancestor of her family to Baek-ryeon.

Therefore, it is natural to uphold the White Tiger. But from the White Tiger’s point of view, it was obvious that his daughter was being too stiff, so he was hesitant.

I don’t think Baek-ryeon noticed it.

“What are you looking at so intently?”

“Why are you here? Weren’t you preparing a meal with Seol-rin?”

“She told me to get lost because I was in the way.”

That’s something to be proud of.

I swallowed the words that came to my mind and didn’t say anything, and Lucy followed the end of my gaze and realized that Baek-ryeon and White Tiger were at the end, so she nodded and said.

“The two of them look good together. Like parents and children.”

“…Did you know?”

“I didn’t know? Are they parents and children?”

“….”

I seriously thought about what to do with this girl for a moment.

“If what I know is correct, they are parents and children. However, Baek-ryeon doesn’t know that. She just thinks of him as a distant ancestor.”

“Oh, I knew it…. I wondered why it smelled so delicious, it was because they have a strong connection to the blood of the Divine Beast.”

“…When are you going to drop the vampire concept?”

“Concept? I’m serious?”

This girl can’t come to her senses….

In the first place, how can a vampire become a nun? You have to say something that makes sense.

“Anyway, you’re in charge of White Tiger’s health while we’re moving. Do a good job.”

“Hmm…, I think the vessel of qi has been completely restored…, but I have a hard time dealing with the residual poison in the body.”

“Isn’t there a detoxification technique among divine magic?”

“I’ve already tried it. However, to get rid of the poison that has been steeped for decades, a priest with more divine power than me would have to take charge.”

In other words, we have to go to the Holy Kingdom.

I’m really going to be traveling all over the place….

“Young master, I’ve gathered all the firewood.”

“Oh, welcome~”

Lucy greets Baek-ryeon and White Tiger with a bright smile.

Putting aside the way she talks, she definitely has good sociability, so she seems to be getting along well with Baek-ryeon and Seol-rin.

“Lord White Tiger~ I’ll be in charge of Lord White Tiger’s health from now on~ If you have any discomfort, please tell me anytime~”

“Uh, t-thank you.”

White Tiger nodded awkwardly.

“But it’s unique. A blood demon having divinity. Have recent blood demons changed in any way?”

“If there are people like that, there are people like this~”

“…Huh? What did you just say?”

White Tiger tilted his head and said in response to my question.

“Bl, blood demon, he said. Is something wrong?”

“…You were a real vampire?”

“No, I’ve said that several times. Does this hero have a disease where he can’t believe people?”

No, how can a vampire use divine power!!

“More than that, does the Holy Kingdom know??”

“Of course they know. There are many vampires like me? And the person called the Saintess of the Holy Kingdom is our princess.”

“….”

Has the Holy Kingdom that I know already collapsed and disappeared?

* * *

That night.

“I’m glad I bought a spacious tent.”

Crackle…

I stood guard outside and looked at the tent where the women were sleeping.

When I bought it from the Roman Kingdom, I asked for a good one, but at first, they gave me one that was too big, so I was worried about whether I should return it…, but I can only say that my foresight was great.

“Hoo…. Now that I’ve caught the Heavenly Demon…, what should I do from now on.”

The knowledge I have is dependent on the Incompetent Hero’s Success Story.

Therefore, the story of the Incompetent Hero’s Success Story, up to just before the Heavenly Demon’s fragment, is all I know, and I don’t know anything about the content after that.

‘I knew this would happen, but I should have done the sequel too.’

I heard that the sequel, The Adventures of the Demonic Hero, also featured fragments of other Demon Kings…, but unfortunately, I don’t know anything because I possessed this game world before I could even do that. Of course, the Incompetent Hero’s Success Story does give some clues about other Demon King fragments.

The most representative one is the Black Dawn Society. In the central continent of Philgrea, they are one of the beings called the Demon King’s army.

There are also those who follow one of the Demon King’s fragments, the witch Tamiel, and another Demon King’s fragment that is said to be sleeping in the western continent of Philgrea, where the World Tree is…. I don’t know the name because it hasn’t been revealed, but anyway, there are two of them.

And one that is unknown.

“My head hurts…, Machina. Don’t you know anything? You’re a Holy Sword. You fought the Demon King in the old days, didn’t you?”

[Um…, I know the names of each Demon King…, but I don’t know the details.]

“You don’t know? Why?”

[It’s a kind of safety device…, a safety device in the concept of information control to prevent heroes from accepting the power of the Demon King’s fragments too early and despairing.]

At Machina’s words, I frowned without realizing it.

“Do I look like I’m going to despair?”

[That’s not it, but….]

As the Holy Sword Machina herself said, at this point in time, only the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, and the fully restored Demon King can be equal to my strength.

Only 3 people. Machina also knows this, so she trailed off as if she was in trouble.

[This is something I can’t do anything about….]

“There are a total of 4 Demon King’s fragments. One is the Heavenly Demon, the other is Tamael. At least tell me the names of the other two Demon Kings.”

[Yes. The name of the Demon King of the Western Continent is Surtr. And…, Hwancheon King.”

“Hwancheon King?”

What’s that again?

Just as I was about to ask again at the name I had never heard before, someone rustled in the tent and walked out.

“White Tiger?”

White Tiger, who carefully came out of the tent, flinched and looked at me as if surprised when he met my eyes.

“Ho, are you standing guard alone?”

“Yes. I’m the only one who can respond in an emergency. But what’s wrong? Is it uncomfortable to sleep?”

“No, it’s not that. It’s rather comfortable and good.”

But his expression is somehow awkward for someone who says that.

He looks somehow anxious…, or should I say impatient?

“Well, I’m going to take a walk for a while.”

“At this hour?”

“….”

White Tiger didn’t answer my question and avoided my gaze.

There was something that caught my attention in that figure, so I sighed and nodded.

“Please don’t go too far. You never know when and where you’ll be attacked.”

“Um…, I’ll keep that in mind.”

White Tiger disappeared into the bushes.

After watching that figure for a while, I stuck Machina into the ground.

[Lo, Lord?!]

“Keep an eye on this place. You said we can still talk even if we’re far apart, right?”

[Th, that’s right! Lord~!!]

Leaving Machina’s wailing behind, I suppressed my presence and followed White Tiger.

How far did she walk?

White Tiger, quite far from the tent….

“…Haa♥”

Started masturbating.
