The title of Chapter 19 in the Japanese table of contents translates roughly to "The Caged Bird." Expect the Hero (Yuusha) to realize that he has been a pawn. The raw panels will feature intense, unpolished screentones from the artist, emphasizing the Hero’s wide-eyed horror as he discovers the kingdom has been funding both sides of the war.
The chapter opens with the Demon King, Sadao, sitting on his throne, looking over the reports of the hero's, Honda Saitou, recent activities. It seems that Saitou has been gathering a large following of people who believe him to be the chosen hero destined to defeat the Demon King.
: The chapter could focus on supporting characters, perhaps exploring their motivations or seeing them take significant actions that impact the hero and Demon King's conflict.
