s and blacksmithing, and you know the duties of those who are loved and empowered by God.
I am special.
I can have anything I want.
If I want, I can make anything come true.
That is why I must achieve the peace that everyone wants from me, and the future full of hope that everyone desires.
In order to continue to be the ideal hero for everyone, I must …”

When Alexis said no more, he even bent his knees and pressed his head against the floor.

“Please.
Make me a true ‘Hero’.”

“……………………”

I was left speechless when he got down on his knees.
This time, however, it was not because I was surprised, but because I was stunned by my own immaturity.

In the first round, Alexis was nothing but a prince and a hero, no matter how far he went.
He looked down on everyone but himself and acted like a “Hero chosen by God”.
… That was my impression of Alexis.

That would certainly be true.
But he was never just that.
He was a man who was aware that he was special and made every effort to be worthy of being special.

When you think about it, it was only natural.
Someone who was just getting stronger and better with his power would never throw away his own life at the last minute to save his friends.
The first man I met on my journey to the otherworldly exile was not a hero because he was chosen by God, but because he was so truly a hero that God had no choice but to choose him.

“I’m sorry.
I can’t accept that request.
My sword is not fit for a hero.”

“Gosh..
isn’t that just a bit too much arrogance?”

At my words, Alexis looked up and stared at me with a bitter expression on his face.
But I respond to his angry gaze with a smirk.

“Oops, don’t get me wrong.
I mean that there is a much more appropriate sword for a hero to use than the one I used.
Show yourself, [Akashic Compass].”

In response to my call, a cross-shaped metal frame, about twice the size of a clenched fist, appeared over my hand.

Yes, the sword I made was not enough for Alexis the Hero.
Because it was, wasn’t it? Of course a sword created by God himself was greater than a sword forged by a human being who had been given the power of God!

“What I am looking for is … the real Holy Sword.
Where is it?!”

At this question, a white haze sprang up in the metal frame.
A sword I had never seen before appeared on the screen, and as soon as it disappeared, a red compass pointed in the right direction.

“Ed! Wasn’t that just to locate … the magical beasts! No way, no one knows the location of the real holy sword ..!?”

“Don’t tell anyone, okay?”

The ability to know the whereabouts of any object was too valuable to be used along with [Auto-Mapping].
So I wanted to keep it to just “locating the location of a magic beast I know” …… but this one time, it was special.
……

Because I was stronger, Alexis revealed his true feelings that he couldn’t speak to a mere porter.
Then, it would not be manly not to respond.
Also, if I get the real holy sword, Alexis would definitely be stronger than he was right now,..
and that future would be a lot further away.

“So, my Hero? Do you need the best swordsman, the best porter, the best blacksmith, and a fortune teller with a 100 percent accuracy rate? I’ll take any job now for a very reasonable price, okay?”

“Hmph, all right.
The “reward” for me is to defeat the Demon King and save the world.
I will give you the honor of fighting with me.”

“Fufu~,That’s quite an exorbitant reward.
Then again …”

I grabbed Alexis’ arm, who had been sitting on the floor for a long time, and made him stand up.
This time, I bowed to him reverently.

“I will lead you to victory! I look forward to working with you, my hero friend――”

“Alexis.”

“What!?”

“You said you would do me the honor of fighting with me.
I won’t allow a mere porter to call me by name, but if we were to be friends-in-arms.
Take care, Ed.”

“…Ah.
I’m on it, Alexis.”

I clasped back his hand firmly.
On this day, Alexis finally recognized me as a true friend.
