The day Kyozai made Reia his slave...
The party of heroes was exploring a certain dungeon, accompanied by their retainers.
*
"Earth! Fall back!"
"Leave the rest to me! Yushi!"
Earth drew the enemy's attention, and as the monster flinched, Yushi delivered a powerful blow.
That one blow was enough to kill the monster.
"Ah, I leveled up! Now I'm on par with Earth!"
Rin squealed with excitement.
"Ugh... I've been outdone by Rin again..."
"It can't be helped. Rin gets the Last Attack Bonus with offensive magic, but Mio can hardly use offensive magic. Still, thanks to Mio, we don't have to worry about recovery, and with the support magic, we can consistently defeat monsters."
Yushi explained.
"Hardly... I guess that's true..."
"It's a fact that I get the Last Attack Bonus more than Mio... But Yushi gets the most, doesn't he!"
"Come on, Rin. Calm down."
"Mmm... If Earth says so, I guess I can't help it."
"Basically, the Last Attack Bonus just gives more experience points, but it doesn't mean we don't get experience points. Thanks to this."
Earth looked at his right wrist.
"That's true... This seems to be quite a valuable item."
Mio murmured.
"I don't think it's something you can easily buy. I didn't see anyone wearing it at the palace."
Rin responded to Mio's comment.
The party of heroes received this bracelet two days after Kyozai was transferred.
The effect of this bracelet is that if the same bracelet is equipped, the wearer will receive 0.8 times the experience points of the one who defeated a creature with stats.
The party of heroes' stats are as follows:

"We... are getting stronger, right?"
Mio suddenly spoke.
The atmosphere became heavy at her words.
The retainers couldn't keep up with the pace of the party and were exhausted.
"We should be getting stronger. Didn't Horus say we are already as strong as the best knight commanders?"
Yushi said with a slight laugh.
"That's true... But sometimes I feel anxious. Can we really defeat the Demon God?"
"We will defeat it. We've already made up our minds. We will definitely defeat the Demon God and bring Kyozai back to life, even if we can't return to Earth."
Rin looked at Mio with a serious expression.
"...That's right. No matter how long it takes, we will defeat the Demon God. I have so many things I want to tell Kyozai..."
And so, Mio remembered two weeks ago.
*
(This is... not my room... So, that wasn't a dream...)
The day after Kyozai was randomly transferred. Mio woke up in a room at the palace.
She sat up and saw Rin sleeping in a chair.
"Rin..."
Mio called out to Rin, feeling happy, and stroked her head.
"Mmm... Mio?"
(Did I wake her up?)
Mio smiled a little, but Rin woke up anyway.
"Sorry. I woke you up."
"Mio... Mio!!"
Rin jumped up and hugged Mio.
"Mio...! I'm so glad... I'm so glad!"
"Come on... You don't have to worry so much..."
"Hehe... But I was really worried... I was always anxious."
"Rin..."
"Kyozai disappeared, and Mio didn't wake up... Yesterday, Earth and Yushi didn't talk at all. I thought we might fall apart..."
"Right..."
Mio felt a pain in her heart as she was reminded of Kyozai's disappearance.
"Ah... Sorry..."
Rin realized and became dejected.
"...It's okay now. Let's go to Yushi and the others."
"...Okay."
...
"Earth, are you there?"
Rin knocked on Earth's door.
Earth came out from inside.
"Mio... You're awake."
"Yeah, sorry for worrying you."
"It's fine. Given what happened, it's understandable. Anyway, are you going to Yushi's room? I'll come too."
And so, they headed to Yushi's room.
...
"Yushi. We're coming in."
Earth called out and entered Yushi's room.
"Hey. Mio, you're awake."
"Yeah."
Yushi was sitting in a chair, looking a bit tired. He probably hadn't slept much.
"Yushi... Don't blame yourself so much."
"..."
"Yushi!"
"I know... I know, but... It's true that I was careless. I couldn't adapt here. I was still thinking like I was on Earth. But Kyozai was different. I don't understand why Kyozai isn't the hero. I don't understand why he was transferred. When I asked the princess, she said that with Kyozai's stats, the chances of survival were almost zero. I could have survived, apparently."
Yushi laughed dryly and looked at the ceiling.
"I said I would definitely repay Kyozai. But now, I don't know if he's alive. It's better to assume he's dead. If he's gone, I can't repay him even if I want to..."
Mio felt a tightening in her chest at his words.
(I said I would protect Kyozai...)
Mio couldn't express her next emotion and looked down.
Rin noticed and was about to speak, but there was a knock on the door.
"Heroes, are you there?"
Earth confirmed with everyone and opened the door.
The voice belonged to Veres.
"Mio, are you feeling better?"
"Yes, I'm fine now."
"Then, everyone, please follow me. I have something to talk about."
The four decided to follow.
...
They arrived at a room where Horus was waiting.
"Father, I've brought them."
"Good. Sit down, please."
The four sat on the luxurious couches.
"The other day was unfortunate."
The atmosphere became heavy at his words.
"As the man said, it's safe to assume that he didn't survive the transfer to Dretto Kingdom. However, there is one way to bring him back."
The four opened their eyes wide at his words.
"R-Really!?"
Yushi stood up and approached Horus.
"Calm down."
"Sorry..."
"Indeed, there is a way. However..."
Horus looked at the four.
"---You won't be able to return to your homeland."
The four gasped.
"I thought that defeating the Demon Lord and reviving the god would grant one wish... But that was a mistake. Reviving the god won't grant any wishes. You must defeat the Demon God."
"「「「「Demon God?」」」」
"Yes, the Demon God. He is still in this world..."
And so, Horus began to explain about the Demon God.
Defeating the Demon God would bring Kyozai back to life.
The Demon God is very strong but can be defeated by humans.
Finally, Horus said:
"Even if you can't return to your homeland... Even if your lives are at risk. Do you still want to bring him back to life?"
The answer from the four was clear.
"「「「「Of course.」」」"
And so, the heroes' quest to defeat the Demon God began.
We are always looking for skill names, unique attribute names, character names, monster names, race names, demon names, and weapon and armor names.
The protagonist is having a great time, while the heroes are working very hard!
Next, we'll return to the protagonist's perspective!
Looking forward to your feedback!
