I, Kiriko, the Cheater

"Okay, after returning to our world, I will definitely ask you..."

Iwatani Naofumi's expression froze immediately.

It's like seeing something incredible.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Naofumi Iwatani's expression of seeing a ghost, Tongzi couldn't help feeling puzzled.

"You...your body..."

Not only Naofumi Iwatani, everyone looked at Tongzi in shock and worry.

Tongzi lowered her head in confusion, and was surprised to find that her hands were getting paler.

Not only the hands, but also the chest, lower abdomen, thighs, knees... as long as the body parts that can be seen have become blurred.

This... What the hell is going on?

With such doubts, she slowly disappeared into the air like this, as if she had never appeared before.

……

A week later, the queen of Melomag finally returned from abroad.

After returning home, the queen did three things in total:

1. Clean up the shield hero Naofumi Iwatani's charge of "abducting the princess";

2. Ban the state religion of Melomag, the Three Warriors, and re-establish the Four Saints that can treat the Four Saints equally;

3. Deprived of the status of the king and demoted to a commoner.

The Queen sent people to spread these three decrees throughout the Melomag as quickly as possible, and at the same time expressed to Naofumi Iwatani that she was willing to do her best to make up for the damage caused to him by the Trash King and Princess O.

But Naofumi Iwatani only had one request, and this request was far beyond the Queen's expectations...

……

Inside a main hall of Wangcheng Castle.

The hall was empty, and there were two rows of raging braziers at the entrance. The fire in the braziers was formed by magic and would never go out.

And at the end of the brazier is a white statue.

This statue was carved by the joint efforts of several of the most famous statue masters in Melomag.

It was a woman standing with a pillar of sword. She looked into the distance, and her deep eyes seemed to say something.

"Sir Shangbun, is it really all right as long as this is it?"

The queen covered half her face with a fan.

"Yes, that's all right."

Naofumi Iwatani stared at the statue of Tongzi with a dazed expression, as if seeing that in the audience hall, when he was convicted of an unjust crime, only Tongzi was willing to speak out for him...

And later, when no adventurer was willing to follow me because I was a shield hero, it was Tongzi who pulled me to find a profiteer to buy a class of fighting slaves for me, and even helped me advance money...

Even, until the other party left, he still couldn't pay back the money.

After the two were relatively silent for a while, Iwatani Naofumi finally came to his senses.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

"Master Shangbun, please just say it."

So Iwatani Naofumi told the queen about Tongzi's sudden disappearance.

"What do you think is going on here?"

The queen frowned and thought carefully for a while.

"I'm sorry, Naofumi-sama, even I have never heard of the magic that makes a person disappear out of thin air."

Iwatani Naofumi was a little disappointed.

"Is that right?"

"However... if there is a god in the dark, maybe He sent Lord Tong to help us, so that the Four Saints and Heroes would not fall into internal strife, and Master Tong's mission was completed, so he was naturally summoned back to the original world."

"That's what he said."

The hall fell silent again.

……

after this……

The shield hero, Naofumi Iwatani, and his companions chose to stay in Meromag.

The hero of the gun, Kitamura Motoyasu, after clearly realizing how much he had done to Iwatani Shangfu, chose to stay with Shangfu.

Kawasumi, the hero of the bow, disappeared after that. He did not bring any of his former adventurer companions, but asked a maid of the palace to pass a note to Iwatani Naofumi, on which there were only two Word - "Sorry".

As for the sword hero Tianmu Lian, it is said that he went to another country to hone his sword skills.

As for the heroes extolled by Meromag—the companions of the Invincible Hero...
