Cowboy Fan Isekaied As The Hero

Kaizoku stood up from his fall and stepped in to separate Sylphy, who was still angry at Eve.

"Alright, alright, you two are acting like kids having a fight—" before he could finish, Sylphy punched him in the face, sending him flying through the wooden wall of the house.

"Hmph! Don't compare me to a child."

"Uuuuhhh..." the blow from Sylphy had completely knocked Kaizoku out.

"We should move somewhere else. This place is no longer safe." Eve said as she lifted Kaizoku.

"We can take Kaizoku-san to my cabin in the middle of the forest." Sylphy nodded, and they began walking, with Eve still carrying Kaizoku's limp body.

"How far is your cabin, exactly?" Sylphy asked.

Eve, still carrying Kaizoku, replied, "Not far, it's inside Witches' Woods."

After a few minutes, they reached the Witches' Woods—a dense, damp, and muddy forest. There were only thick green trees, trickling streams, and lush, heavy grass.

They entered a fairly large wooden cabin. Inside, the room was filled with strange glass bottles containing bright, colorful potions. In the center stood a large black cauldron with flames burning beneath it.

Eve set Kaizoku down on a wooden chair. "Wait a moment, I'll make you a healing potion." she said as she threw a few red and green leaves into the cauldron.

Eve stirred the mixture, combining her secret ingredients into a single potion.

When the potion was ready, it had turned a bright red color. She poured the liquid into an empty glass bottle and poured it into Kaizoku's mouth.

Kaizoku suddenly awoke with a start, eyes wide open.

"AAAAHHHH!" he immediately started coughing.

"What was that!? it tasted awful and it was still hot!"

"I'm glad to see you awake, Kaizoku-san." Eve said, smiling as Kaizoku continued to cough.

"Okaaayyy... Kaizoku, now it's time for you to create your own more spells." Sylphy said as she approached him with a serious look.

Kaizoku stopped coughing and glared at her. "Create more spells, huh? After you punched me out cold, now you want me to make a spell? I refuse."

Sylphy grabbed the collar of his cowboy shirt. "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" she growled, baring her fangs.

"Sylphy-san... It might be better if you explained things to Kaizoku first." Eve interjected, fearful of the growing tension.

There was a brief moment of silence. Then Sylphy let go of Kaizoku's collar. "Fine. Listen carefully."

"We need you, Kaizoku. Every few hundred, or even thousands of years, there's a phenomenon where the gods and goddesses summon a hero. Our duty is to guide those summoned heroes in this world. Without guidance, those heroes have the potential to become demon lords." Sylphy lowered her head, her face filled with sadness.

"A demon lord... A hero who isn't properly guided can turn evil and gain the ambition to take over the world."

"I'm asking you to be the hero we need, to defeat the demon lord that we... created." Sylphy couldn't continue speaking and ran out of the cabin.

Eve gently placed her hand on Kaizoku's arm. "Sylphy-san has a dark past involving the demon lord. Please forgive her strict behavior." at that moment, Kaizoku felt a sense of guilt toward Sylphy.

"A demon lord, huh... This world really is like the game I used to play back in my world... But I quit playing it because it was too hard, and I always preferred western-themed games over fantasy. This is probably going to make my journey even harder..."
