After that, I had more sincere conversations with my companions.
It was necessary.
We were not just going out for a quick drink in the neighboring village; we were about to embark on a perilous journey that would cross dimensions twice.
Above all, this time, my companions had to act solely for "my sake."
While the Great Demon War and the Dimensional War were driven by a common goal of protecting the Nas continent, this formation of the "expedition team" required their sacrifices solely to help my hometown, Earth.
What moved me and warmed my heart was the fact that no one refused my request.
It was not that they were forced to agree out of obligation or reluctance.
They genuinely wanted to help.
It was as if everyone felt indebted to me, and they were eager to repay that debt.
In fact, they seemed pleased, as if they wanted to clear away the uncomfortable feelings they had buried in their hearts for so long.
However, the way they expressed this varied slightly, and in some cases, it was rather intense.
Perhaps it was their way of lightening my heart.
"Your Majesty, as you know, I am quite weak when it comes to financial matters. If I can obtain something valuable in that dimension, may I keep it?"
