Volume 2 Chapter 41 Makhen, Banned from the Guild by the Emperor
Days passed since Demon Lord Zeke defeated the majin.
Former hero Makhen was in the Adventurer's Guild of the Imperial Capital.
"Damn... it's herb gathering again today. Why am I stuck doing such mundane tasks..."
Why is Makhen in the Imperial Capital?
It's because he received a 2-month suspension from the adventurer's guild he used to operate from.
There was no way to get by without income for 2 months.
Makhen decided to move his base to another town.
However, with his little money, he couldn't go far away.
Yet, the guild in the village had too few requests.
The closest and most populated place from that town was here, in the Imperial Capital.
It was here.
"Haah... damn. Isn't there any job that could earn big money in one go..."
Of course, there were quests to defeat strong monsters, explore dungeons, and earn a fortune.
But for the weakened Makhen, none of those were possible.
Upon returning to the guild hall, Makhen noticed something unusual.
"Huh? What's going on? The guild seems awfully noisy..."
There was a crowd forming in front of the Guild Master's room.
"It seems Lady Sasha is here."
"Her Majesty the Emperor? Why is he here?"
"Apparently, he had business with the Guild Master."
As the door opened with a creak, a beautiful girl and a familiar masked man appeared.
"Wha!? Zeke!?"
Emerging with Emperor Sasha was Demon Lord Zeke, disguised as an S-rank adventurer.
"Well then, Sir Zekefried, please act as my escort on the way back."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
The Emperor was chatting amicably with the Demon Lord.
Seeing that made Makhen smirk.
"...this is an opportunity! Alright!"
Makhen dashed forward to stand before Sasha.
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Bam, the Demon Lord stands before me.
"Who are you?"
"I am adventurer Makhen. Your Majesty, let me be blunt. You are being deceived by that masked man!"
Pointing at the Demon Lord, he wore a victorious smile.
Makhen thought.
The Demon Lord had approached Sasha disguised as an S-rank adventurer.
The Demon Lord plans to deceive the Emperor and take over this empire...
"This man is the Demon Lord! It's good luck, Your Majesty the Emperor! Thanks to me, you won't be fooled!"
Glancing expectantly at the Emperor, Makhen felt hope.
Indeed, his scheme was to gain favor from Emperor Sasha by exposing the Demon Lord's wickedness here.
If he protected the Emperor, and thus the empire, from the Demon Lord's evil grasp, he would be treated like a hero.
A large amount of gold might flow into his hands, leading to a life of comfort...
"Now, Your Majesty──let's capture this man and sentence him to death!"
"This rude person!"
Her anger became magic, blasting Makhen away.
"Hogyaaaaaaaaaa!"
The magic shockwave easily sent Makhen flying out of the guild.
Passersby stayed away, not wishing to incur the Emperor's displeasure.
She approached the fallen Makhen.
"For insulting my precious one, you deserve death!"
"B-but Your Majesty... Zekefried is the Demon Lord..."
"...I am aware."
"Wha!? What do you mean!?"
The Emperor seemed to know Zeke's true identity and was still associated with him.
"This is impossible... why is the empire with the Demon Lord...?"
"The Demon Lord's nation and the empire have formed an alliance."
"That's... no, you are being deceived! Absolutely!"
"Silence!"
Makhen was completely paralyzed by her anger.
"Soldier, capture this insolent fool and throw him out of the country!"
"Hah...!"
The soldiers waiting with Zeke helped Makhen to his feet.
"You have sullied not only Sir Zeke's name but my face as well. You are banished from the country and permanently barred from entering here again."
"I-I'll die if you do that! Please! This is my last place of work!"
Crying out, he clung to Sacha's legs.
But she looked down on him like garbage, summoning a snowstorm with her magic to blow him away.
"Quickly, toss him out! I'm disgusted! Guild Master, inform all the guilds in the Empire to ban him!"
"Understood."
Captured by the soldiers, Makhen was dragged away.
"D-damn it... why do I have to go through this... damn..."
