@darklittle1 is a girl but still don’t know why the fuck they’d send a low lvl magicless swordsman and another low lvl’d princes that lived in a cage and can only contract with ifrit
At this point I would have just quit the hero party, quit the church, quit the country, move to where the higher ups are not braindead retards and try again.
Seriously at this point the cardinals, king, hero and those princesses dying only means natural selection.
From the way hero talks, he's a dumbfuck selfish horny ass kid who prolly spent 15 hours a day fapping to anime girls and daydreaming of getting isekaied
if i were that priest, i'll beat that demon lord and take over as the demon lord and beat the shit out of that hero while healing that piece of shit to keep it alive.
same applies to communal garden tools like hoes.
