When I said, "You can be a hero," to a child with no talent, he really started to become a hero, so I acted like I knew what I was doing, like I was a wise master.

My name is Linlin Frontier. People call me various names like “The Great Sage Linlin,” “Lady Linlin,” and “Princess Frontier.” Among those close to me—though, if we exclude my family, it’s just about three people—they call me “Lin.”

“Big sister!”

Well, I do have a younger sister who calls me that.

“Tanya.”

“Hmm, Mom said you and Hero Dan have something going on. Is it true?”

“…Yes.”

“No way… That’s amazing! He’s a real catch! More than a catch! How wealthy is he again?!”

Ugh, my bad habit of showing off… And why would mom say something like that?! I might be one of the few who knows Dan’s real personality.

“How much money do you think Hero Dan has? You’d know, right?”

“Well, I have a vague idea.”

“Tell me! How much?!”

“I think it’s better not to discuss such matters.”

I’ve been with Dan, so I’ve seen him save the world and receive compensation from various countries and individuals. So, I can roughly estimate how much he might have.

“Just a little hint, please! Just a tiny one, tell me!”

“… You know how Dan did a kind of triumphal parade around the world after he saved it? He’d stand before kings and demand money. He’d say, ‘It’s not possible that this is all you have for someone who saved the world. Hand over all your country’s resources.'”

“Whoa, that’s… intense.”

“Do you think? If someone risks their life to save the world, I believe they have every right. And honestly, the rewards sometimes do seem paltry.”

“But didn’t Hero Dan do the same to our parents, almost depleting our kingdom’s resources?”

“That’s a youthful indiscretion. Just that.”

“But, we almost lost our homeland! You are the second princess, aren’t you?”

“That’s neither here nor there.”

“Is it, though? So, about the money?”

“Well, he doesn’t seem to live extravagantly… And there was that time he made a fortune in dungeons… Oh, and he did demand money from the Moon Kingdom. All in all… I’d say he probably has wealth rivaling the combined resources of about ten countries?”

“Whoa… wait, seriously? Isn’t that… I mean, isn’t that over the top?”

“Do you think? Seems normal for Dan.”

“No, no, no! Your perspective is all skewed! It’s bugged! You shouldn’t use Hero Dan as a benchmark when talking to others!”

My sister suddenly got all heated… Is she okay? Her eyes are seriously bloodshot. Having money is better than not, but it’s just a bonus to Dan’s value.

“I don’t use Dan as a standard for everyone.”

“With such high standards, it’s no wonder you aren’t married yet. They’re not just high; they’ve rocketed straight to legendary levels.”

“Perhaps.”

“But it’s a relief. Our kingdom is secure. He’s wealthy and strong, and’d solve any problems. When’s the wedding? And what about children?”

“…All in due time. I believe in taking things slow. There’s no point in rushing.”

“True. But seriously, it’s great. He’s rich, after all.”

“Is money really that important?”

“Of course! Money is important!”

“Hmm… when I was with Dan, even when we were poor, it was fun. So, I can’t quite relate.”

“What?! You don’t think having more wealth than ten countries combined is a big deal?”

Money… With Dan, I believe even a life of poverty would be enjoyable… Perhaps I could even live in his house, no matter how small it might be. We could have our own tiny home… with maybe two kids… But the more, the merrier, I think.

“Being rich is amazing.”

“You’re still going on about money?”

“Do you think money is that amazing? When that Demon Lord called Ultimate Nova or something appeared, that was way more impressive.”

“Huh?”

“The Demon Lord had this power to manipulate the rotation of stars. By doing so, he could generate incredible power. And when he declared, ‘Hahaha, I shall make the stars rotate by my command,’ Dan just said, ‘Shall I stop the rotation for a bit?’ and stomped on the ground, stopping the rotation of our planet and sealing the Demon Lord’s power. That was way more impressive.”

“That’s… weird. Both the enemy and Hero Dan are incomprehensible.”

“I fell for him all over again at that moment.”

“You’re unique. But in a way, you two are perfect for each other.”

“It’s sad that there are people who find Dan scary.”

“After hearing that story, I can see why.”

“He’s doing his best for everyone. I don’t get it. Instead of complaining, they should be telling themselves to fight. Dan must feel the same way. But he doesn’t say it out loud. That’s how generous he is.”

“Wow… But it’s great. That you can marry someone with such a big heart.”

“Well… yeah.”

In the future, we will get married, I suppose. It’s almost certain… or perhaps I’m just walking a fine line between truth and falsehood.

“Are you going to build a new house?”

“We’ve been discussing various things about our future together.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. Make sure your wedding ceremony is grand, okay?”

“Of course. The entire country will help with it.”

“I’ll tell my brothers! That you’re getting married!”

“Go ahead, go ahead. Let them know.”

“Yes! I’ll go tell them right away!”

“You don’t have to rush that much, I think.”

“No, no! I’m just so happy! I want to tell them immediately! Don’t worry, I’ll only tell my brothers!”
