Frith, Agness, Selene, and the 4 heroes are currently in the same room.

“So, you weren’t summoned from another world?”(Frith)

“Yes, unlike the humans, the elven race picks the strongest and gives them the weapon.”(Erina)

“I am also the same, I am the strongest of the dwarven race”(Milla)

“In the beastmen race, it is a bit different, something like the strongest tribe can keep the weapon.”(Shaila)

“For the fishmen race, the weapon is the property of the royal family. The hero before me, was my father”(Farha)

“... so how does one, get a weapon”(Frith)

The heroes looked at each other and decided that Erina would explain it.

“Before the weapon picks a hero, it is in a crystal form. To become a hero, you will first have to undergo a soul link contract. Once the contract is done, the hero can freely summon the weapon. The good thing about it is that if an enemy takes it, you can just disperse it and resummon it again”(Erina)

...did I just undergo a soul link contract without me knowing?

“you probably noticed it already, a weapon changes form if the Hero reaches a certain point.When a weapon changes it will get stronger, there has been no case of a weapon getting weaker after changing”(Erina)

I only asked how I got the weapon… this is fine too, more information is never bad.

“Where did the weapon come from?”(Frith)

“For us… it suddenly appeared in the continent, no one knows who made it and who gave it to us”(Erina)

“There are no records in our histrory about where it came from”(Milla)

“The beastmen said our ancestors made it, but I think it is a lie. If we could make it then we would have mass produced it already”(Shaila)

“woah, did you hear that?”(Erina)

Milla & Farha nodded while wearing a shocked expression.

“Shaila just made a logical statement, I can’t believe it”(Erina)

Milla & Farha nodded at the statement.

“That’s mean”(Shaila)

So, none knows where it came from… if it suddenly appeared out of nowhere… i can’t shake the feeling that something is happening…

“Wait, what about you? does the fishmen know where the weapon came from?”(Frith)

“Sorry, even our race doesn’t know anything about it. It has been in our race for as long as we can remember…”(Farha)

“Thanks for telling me about what you know”(Frith)

“...we didn’t really gave you the correct answer on the last question”(Erina)

“It’s ok, knowing about the soul link contract is more than enough. By the way one last question, can one take the the weapon off, and what happens when hero dies, where does the weapon go?“(Frith)

“It is impossible to take the weapon off, and when the hero dies… the weapon reverts to its crystal form. There was a possibility of it getting taken away, but it still hasn’t happened in our race.”(Erina)

“Wait, how did Farha get her weapon?... or is her father dead?”(Frith)

“No, what we did was a bit different. Something like a partial contract”(Farha)

So there was more than one way to get the weapon…

“The beastman usually fights with each other after a hero dies. All tribes try to get the weapon, my tribe, the savage tiger tribe, got the weapon and was able to pass it down to the same tribe for 3 generations. My grandfather died 5 years ago and I was the one who got the weapon”(Shaila)

So that’s what she meant when the strongest tribe gets the weapon...wait, I thought she was from the cat race? savage tiger?

“We are at a peaceful state so the weapon simply gets passed down without any problem. Well except for the criminals, our continent is peaceful”(Milla)

“The humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves & fishmen have heroes, there are a lot of questions I want to ask the empress right now but this comes first, why isn’t there any hero weapon for the demon race?”(Frith)

Agness was busy eating food so Selene was the one who spoke.

“Actually, we also have a hero… our mother is the current hero”(Selene)

EH!? Dd she just say they also have a hero? And wait… THEIR MOTHER IS ALIVE?

“I haven’t seen your mother before… why wasn’t she present in some important events? Like Agness’ marriage…”(Frith)

“Mother really doesn’t care about anything except for father and Lily Matah, she is staying at Lily’s castle. The reason why Lily is stronger is because she was mother’s favorite, and mother trained her.”(Selene)

“...wait, don’t tell me she is stronger than Lily?”(Frith)

“I think we are not supposed to hear the matters of another race, so we will go back to our rooms”(Erina)

Erina & the other 3 bowed before leaving the room.

“...”(Frith)

“As of now, Leblanc, Lily Matah and I are stronger than mother. Agness is currently as strong as mother”(Selene)

Since Agness is stronger than her father then does that mean their mother is also stronger than their father?.. And talking about their mother… Do they have the same mother? I mean they don’t look the same especially the hair color…

“Um… this is a bit personal…”(Frith)

“It’s ok, just ask me. I’ll answer any question that my future husband asks”(Selene)

“... Do you, perhaps, have different mothers?”(Frith)

“Why would you think that? if my father cheated on mother then he would have probably died a lot earlier”(Selene)

“No, I just thought your looks aren’t the same with your sisters. For humans, even if they don’t look alike, siblings still has some similarities.”(Frith)

“I don’t know how it got to this but, we all have the same mother. If father even look at another girl, then mother will instantly decimate that girl.”(Selene)

Their mother sounds scary...

“By the way, Lily Matah is the next heir for the hero weapon for obvious reasons”(Selene)

“I see”(Frith)

“Anyways if you don’t have any other questions I’ll start preparing the food”(Selene)

After eating her food, she stood up “CANDIES!”(Agness)

“After lunch, ok?”(Selene)

How did the empire summon 3 heroes, if they had 3 crystals then they would have summoned 3 heroes before… since it is the first time 3 heroes were summoned, does that mean the creator of the weapons suddenly showed up and gave 2 more crystals to the humans? Or does the empire know how to create the weapons?…

…

(Agness’ POV)

After lunch she went out with Frith, and walked around the capital, it has been a daily routine to walk with him 5 times a week. She was still doing it with Frith once a week, her vitality at night was something she inherited from her mother.

She entered the throne room, Valmahr was waiting at the side of the chair. Paylohn has already returned to the continent of ice a few months ago, and only Valmahr was the active general of the current demon lord.

“Lady Agness, It is time to pick another general. We need to get a general candidate as soon as possible, we have to do it while I am still alive so that I could educate them.”(Valmahr)

“... I haven’t found a good candidate yet”(Agness)

“I know that, you are busy with your husband after all ho ho ho ho, While you were busy, I was getting information on possible candidates. I have currently found 2.”(Valmahr)

“Who are they? don’t pick someone that doesn’t accept Frith, I’ll burn them on the spot if they do”(Agness)

“Ho ho ho of course, The 2 candidates are fit to become your generals, they are not there yet but it can be fixed with a bit of training.”(Valmahr)

“So who is it? Do I know them?”(Agness)

“No, they are not well known, but I am sure that they have a talent for it. First is Feiz, a 600 years old demon, he is the serious type and will probably do a better job compared to me. The second it Vel, a 500 years old demon, he has record of being a playboy just like I, when I was young ho ho ho. Anyways, Vel has currently finished his training, and is probably one of the strongest in this continent, except for you and your sisters of course. Both of them has the talent and has the charisma to help you lead the demon army.”(Valmahr)

“If you are sure that they have talent then bring them both here”(Agness)

“I knew you would I agree ho ho ho, they will be here a week before the gathering of leaders. I’ll educate them, and make sure that they will help you lead the demon race”(Valmahr)

“Ok, I’ll leave it to you”(Agness)

“After lunch, our lesson will start, ok?”(Valmahr)

“...Ok” Agness went out of the throne room with a sad expression.

...

(At a certain continent)

“The teleportation circle is ready, sire”(???)

“Good, are the weapons ready?”(General)

“Yes sir, 10 thousand weapons are fully functional, and are linked to the souls of the soldiers”(???)

“Good, we will finally start our conquest. Fainz, you will be the second in command. Order the troops to move out. We will start our attack a month from now”(General)

“Yes sir”(Fainz)

“Hahaha we will test our new army on the world, since we gave them prototypes of the weapon, they should last a bit longer. This would serve as a good practice before bringing down the stupid gods that tried to erase us from the world”(General)

A month from now, a war will start against an unknown race.
