The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me.

Why my father became a demon king.

“Father ……?”

A strange monster wrapped in a black mist, during the battle, the mist that was discovered to be the Demon King appeared to be my father who was supposed to be on honeymoon, imposing the duty of the God of Dance on me.

Did the demon king transform himself into that form to induce a mental attack on me, or is it really my father who is in front of me?

No, if it is a transformation, it is a tremendously advanced transformation.

The ceremonial sword pulses.

When I try to cut him, the sword starts shaking as if not wanting to do it.

Besides, the bloodline of the god of dance is not the ghost of the Demon King in front of me.

He said he was my father himself who raised me to be a full-fledged divine child, forced the fate of the God of Dance on me, and ran away.

“Dad, why… Why are you here?

“It will be a little longer if I talk about it … Well, isn’t it just right to kill time without restrictions? In conclusion, I visited here once about a year and a half ago and was defeated by the Demon King.”

“Defeat?”

“Ah. A year and a half ago. At the time of the hero selection ceremony, Because the heroes have been defeated for the past five generations, the heroes of this generation were supposed to become the Apostle of the dance god.

In other words, Kagura, you were originally supposed to be the hero of this generation.”

I’ll never forget the ceremony to select the brave.

It is traditionally the “Holy Sword Pedestal” in the cathedral of Luna, and the person who pulls out the strongest sword stuck there – the Holy Sword – receives the favor of the god Luna and is chosen as a hero.

And on the day of the ritual, the world was swarming with demons like maggots.

But at that time. As a paladin of “Devil Hunting”, I was driven to hunt the devil so that the hero candidate could safely pass through the holy sword.

But when I think back, it’s true that on that day, I was the only one the demon was targeting.

“…… but they didn’t ask me to take part in the selection ceremony.”

At best, a fellow paladin said, “Why don’t you join us? You might be a hero. Gahaha.”

At least, if it’s such an important story, the Pope could have ordered it.

But at that time, I hadn’t even met the Pope yet.

“Even if I didn’t tell him, knowing the cursed fate of the divine child of the God of Dance, he wouldn’t be able to tell you to pull out the holy sword.”

“Cursed fate?”

“Ah, as you know, the first hero is the head of the first God of Dance, when the first head killed the first Demon Lord, the Demon Lord cursed the first head with his remaining life.”

It was a story I didn’t know.

The first hero is the divine son of God of Dance, and the first head of the family is cursed, cursed fate?

“I don’t know about you, but I’ve never felt cursed before, have I?”

“It’s true that the children of the gods are far stronger than ordinary humans, and they receive special training from an early age, but there’s more to it than that.

So the curse placed on the divine child of the God of Dance practically ceased as of the fifth generation.”

“But,” Dad continues

“Except for the holy sword. The holy sword has a similar property dedicated to the back, but more than that, the sword has a grudge against the Demon King who has been slashed for generations. I think it’s also big thing that it remains dark.

Returning to the topic of cursed fate here, if the divine child of the God of Dance pulls out the holy sword, the curse placed on the first head of the family will return to the Successor, and he will lose his life in about three years.”

“I lose my life …. I see, so my dad challenged the Demon King so that I wouldn’t pull out the holy sword and get the curse of death-did you lose?”

“But, stupid. No! … In the first place, you’re the type who refuses even if I say “missing” because of your personality. Besides, the demon king subjugation is originally the duty of the god of dance.

The gods and goddesses of the God of Dance are basically busy with roles such as rainmaking and reclaiming starving lands, and since demon hunting and confronting the demon king are replaceable compared to the prayer kagura, they just let the holy knights and heroes of the Luna religion share the work.”

And my dad reacts in a way that I can’t quite figure out if he’s a tsundere or not.

It’s fine, I don’t mind if you pretend you worked hard for me.

However, it was unexpected to hear that the role of the heroes, the confrontation of the demon king and the demon hunting of the holy knight, was originally the mission of the divine son of God of Dance, and that they were just sharing the work.

…… Then it’s rather pointless to say that I belonged to a heroic party.

Yeah, Renya is supposed to be taking over my role, but I’m the fuzzy one who’s supposed to be assisting him.

When you think about it, though, it makes a little more sense that when I was banished, Seraphy and the others came with me instead of the heroes.

“Then why did my dad…”

“Guhh !!……”

Dad held half his face in a bit of pain.

The black haze is about to set in again. Sanctuary deployment is supposed to be semi-permanent in effect as long as you don’t destroy the altar. ……

After all, the castle of the demon king is a special space.

I didn’t realize that the filled evil spirit would erode the sanctuary like this.

“Sanctuary Expansion ‘God of Dance Kagura'”

“Phew, haha, sorry.”

Eroded by the demon king, my dad exhales painfully.

Did my father happen to be defeated by the Demon King and eaten by the Demon King? Or was he taken in? I don’t know if it was intentional or unintended, but I somehow understood the situation.

And that my father was able to temporarily take control away from the Demon Lord by me deploying the sanctuary – or perhaps even regain it.

But there was one thing I wanted to make sure of.

“Is my dad a demon lord?”

“What are you talking about, it’s me, Kagura…okay, enough with the constraints…Kagura…you should go back to the God of Dance Taisha right now…the heroes are attacking the God of Dance Taisha.”

“What?”

I thought about it when I was in St. Luna, but that guy – he can even slip through the God of Dance’s ward!

Even the Pope had a hard time with him, and Renya’s current strength was too much for the God of Dance branch of the family that protects that country to handle.

Taisha has Teal and Lelia, but they aren’t insanely strong against demons.

Naturally, Lelia is at a disadvantage, and since she brought Seraphy with her, as far as the Pope is concerned, those guys now have no way to defeat the demonized heroes.

“Hurry up and go and protect the God of Dance Grand Shrine, Kagura, you are already the head of the God of Dance.”

“Okay, Dad ……, I’ll leave the simple altar there for now, just dance before the sanctuary disappears–I’ll definitely come back and help you ！！！！.”

“Ahh”.

I leave the Demon King’s room, leaving my dad behind.

If I’m being honest, I want to save my dad from being eaten by the Demon King, defeat the Demon King, save him, go home with him, and give him a honeymoon with my mom.

But that means I have to be prepared for a longer battle than just defeating the Demon King normally.

If I’m not good, I’ll have to fight for three days and three nights.

If I do that, the hero will destroy and ravage the God of Dance Grand Shrine.

This is the Maisha Shrine, where many seals lie, where many gods dwell, and if that shrine is destroyed, everything will end.

I have to be there on time.

Teal, Lelia, you’re gonna have to hold him off until I get there–
