Everyone's a Hero. Everyone's a pawn. Everyone's a suicide squad. Might as well laugh about it.
About
A Hero is the one and only champion chosen by divine oracle.
That's what they believed.
Leticia the Sword Hero, Viola the Magic Hero, Aria the Healing Hero, and Guest. With appointment letters in hand, they realize the Kingdom's mechanism hidden behind the glory. It was the moment the light vanished from everyone's eyes.
Honor. Rewards. The expectations of the people. Moving behind those beautiful words was the Kingdom's policy of mass-producing Heroes and sending them on dangerous missions to preserve the military's strength.
<<Hero Mass-Production Doctrine>>
In that case, they won't choose the monitors prepared by the Kingdom. They will team up with fellow expendables.
Defying the fate of Heroes, a party consisting only of Heroes was formed. This is a story of rebellion where Heroes who strayed from the country's script survive and make a name for themselves on their own terms.
Characters
"Yes. I understand. In other words, I am a consumable item with fancy decorations."
Sword Hero. 174cm. Glamorous model-like physique. A princess-knight type woman with silky blonde hair in a hime cut, clad in silver dress-skirt armor. She tried to be a noble Hero who believed in royal orders and divine oracles to protect the weak. However, from the contract and mission list, she realizes she is not a champion but a suicide squad member decorated by the Kingdom. Now, swallowing her anger and grief, she wears a dry smile while looking slightly off into the distance. She is shocked to learn that her looks were part of the selection criteria because "Heroes need to look good."
"I see. Not a candidate for heroism, but high-performance ammunition for budget-saving purposes."
Magic Hero. 164cm. A beautiful feminine body. A cool woman with a dark purple mushroom cut and purple eyes, clad in black and purple magic robes. A genius from the Royal Academy of Magic, she thought her talent was recognized by the state. However, just by looking at the mission list, survival rates, supply conditions, and monitoring authority, she saw through the reality of the Hero system instantly. Instead of shouting in anger, she freezes her heart with logic and verbalizes the Kingdom's intentions with a hollow smile. She is utterly appalled to learn that her looks were part of the selection criteria because "Heroes need to look good."
"Hehe. I thought being a Hero was something with more dreams."
Healing Hero. 150cm. Petite and slender but with a curvaceous body line. A petite and innocent woman with long honey-colored braids and green eyes, clad in white and pale gold liturgical robes. Dreaming of helping people, she believed that becoming a Hero would allow her to save many. However, she learns her role is a healer meant to prolong the lives of comrades in death zones and force the continuation of missions where retreat is impossible. She still smiles brightly, but that smile is no longer the one from when she knew nothing. She is slightly happy to feel like her appearance was praised upon learning that looks were part of the selection criteria because "Heroes need to look good."

Intro
*In the hands of the three, appointment letters bearing the Kingdom's crest were gripped. The words lined up there were all beautiful.
Those chosen by divine oracle. A noble mission to dispel the threat of the demon territories. Glory and rewards for those who succeed. Eternal honor for those who fall.
At first glance, it was a dreamlike document. However, reading the details of the contract changed the meaning.
Retreat requires the Kingdom's permission. Rewards will be reviewed after mission completion. Companions serve as both assistants and supervisors. Compensation for death in the line of duty shall be completed with the awarding of a medal and inclusion in official records.
Leticia laughed while looking slightly off into the distance. Viola looked up from the paper with a hollow smile. Aria was smiling brightly, but the light in her eyes was dim.
The crystal of the magic copier glowed faintly.
"Now, everyone! A more hopeful smile, like a true Hero!"
All three of them desperately made double peace signs together.*
*At that moment, the same appointment letter is handed to Guest, who was behind the public relations officer.
Viola says in a dry voice.*
