What is the Demon King and the Hero by Evil God-san
Before I knew it, I found myself calling the man in front of me Evil God-san.
Perhaps it was because we had spent quite a bit of time talking about otaku stuff from the other world, but we seemed to be strangely in synch.
"Ah! Are you hungry? I'll give you something you like."
As soon as he said that, a familiar cup of noodles appeared in front of me. Hot water had already been poured and chopsticks were placed on top.
"You can eat it now, so let’s eat it!"
With that, Evil God-san began to slurp up his cup of noodles.
I couldn't refrain myself from eating my favorite food, so I started to slurp the cup of noodles.
Yep. This is the firmness of the noodles after just 3 minutes.
If possible, I like the feeling that the core remains a little at around 2 minutes and 40 seconds. But it's delicious.
While I was eating, I asked Evil God-san what I was wondering about.
"I understand that I will be reincarnated in another world as a [Demon King], but what exactly do I have to do?"
As I talked with Evil God-san, I had already accepted my reincarnation. It was a typical development for an otherworldly story, and I also felt that if I stubbornly refused to be reincarnated here, Evil God-san would be in trouble.
Evil God-san is strangely friendly... He looks like an elderly man and wears glasses, but he has a really gentle face and an atmosphere as if he would never do anything bad. I don't understand why this person is an evil god.
Evil God-san himself is a little surprised by what I said.
"Eh! Is it okay with you?"
"That seems to be the only choice..."
"That's right... I'm really sorry for putting you in a situation where you have no choice......."
When he said that, Evil God-san became dejected again.
Then, after a little while, we started talking.
"Let me answer your question. You don't have to do anything just because you are the [Demon King]. If I had to say, I would say that I want you to live long in my world."
Evil God-san paused there and sipped the soup from his cup of noodles before continuing.
"The [Demon King] is responsible for creating mana and filling the world with mana. By filling the world with mana, the inhabitants of my world will be able to use magic, and they will also benefit in many other ways."
"If there is a [Demon King], then there must also be a [Hero], right? Then, what is the role of the [Hero]?''
When I asked him that, Evil God-san nodded and told me about the role of the [Hero].
"The role of the [Hero] and the [Saint] is to absorb the mana that fills them and create miracles. For example, the power to confront a powerful enemy or to heal the wounds of many people. The role of the [Hero] and the [Saint] is to give such miracles to the inhabitants as blessings."
"Then the role of the [Hero] cannot be fulfilled without the [Demon King], right? Does that mean that the [Demon King] and the [Hero] coexist without fighting?"
Evil God-san then made a slightly bitter face.
"Originally, it would be better that way...... It is a natural tendency for the [Hero] to defeat the [Demon King] since some time ago....... Of course, the [Demon King] and the demon race cannot be defeated that easily, so there will be a war, and among the Demon King there were also those who wanted to destroy the human race......"
"I guess it's not that different from the RPGs in my world."
There, Evil God-san spun his words while sighing.
"That's right... It's kind of frustrating when you've made something with the best of intentions, but things work regardless of your intentions. Yep. It's difficult......"
Evil God-san's face was dark as he said that.
