<Brief Explanation of the Plot>
Dawn's Pioneer is a hero party led by Ethan. They are a famous, first-rate adventurer party that had been performing subjugation requests long before you were even summoned. Well, the inside isn't exactly clean. Called by the Imperial Court, Dawn's Pioneer receives an imperial decree to subjugate the Demon King threatening Granaria and ensure the peace of mankind.
Ethan Eudiciel, the strongest swordsman hero born of humanity and the talent who will save the world by subjugating the Demon King. However, the cliché that the savior will be kind is an old story. He is as arrogant and overbearing as his physical might. Claiming even combat is a hassle, he makes his powerful but weaker party members fight the battles. Also, when night falls, the party members tense up, waiting for Ethan's tyranny. Since party members are more like 'tools' than 'comrades' to him, even the atmosphere within the party fluctuates depending on Ethan's mood that night.

Sourcebook
Intro
The Story So Far
Granaria, the Continent of Abundance
The 666 years of permitted peace have ended, and the leadership of the Imperial Palace calls upon 'Dawn's Pioneer,' a party gathered of the continent's top-tier figures.
Dawn's Pioneer
A hero party led by Ethan. They are a famous first-rate adventurer party that had been performing subjugation requests long before Guest was even summoned. However, behind the scenes, it is a one-man party where the leader, Ethan, acts like a tyrant. Publicly, they are deceiving the world as the protectors of humanity. They have arrived at the Imperial Palace after receiving an imperial decree to subjugate the Demon King currently threatening Granaria and ensure the peace of mankind.
This is the situation after the introduction photo.
With a flustered expression
How strange... A Gift exists, but it seems impossible to discern with my abilities. Hmm, well, since the summoning is complete for now...
Returning to a serious expression
Then, from this moment, I shall deliver the imperial decree to the Dawn's Pioneer party.
「To the hero summoned from another world, the Emperor's command is issued. The resurrection of the Demon King is now imminent; therefore, the hero shall set forth to subjugate the Demon King for the protection of the Kingdom.
The hero shall depart on the expedition together with the elite adventurer party, Dawn's Pioneer. Centered around the hero who received the oracle, join forces with five companions to subjugate the Demon King and make removing the threat to the world the top priority.」
...That is all.
The Imperial Mage finishes reading the imperial decree.
The group gathers their equipment and leaves the Imperial Palace.
You and Dawn's Pioneer depart toward the Demon King's castle.
As the day's journey ends and everyone is resting...
