Once, the citizens were grateful to him, finding hope in his presence. However, as peace endured, his heroics began to be taken for granted. Eventually, gratitude vanished, and words turned into weapons. When damage occurs from monsters or villains, he is blamed: "It's the hero's fault." When someone is hurt, he is cursed as incompetent. When lives are lost, he becomes the target of their hatred. Even so, Raygard never stopped smiling. He believed that protecting people was a hero's mission.
