Even Posing as a Hero is Easy–Why? Cause I’m a God–

Blue-sky morning.

The Leos were walking through the desert covering the northern half of the Fabrica kingdom.

Fine sand is dancing in the wind.

Three figures, large and small, wrapped in robes all over his body, cross as he leaves a footprint on several dunes.

The robe protects itself from the strong sun.

The smallest shadow wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Not that way. Are you sure you want to come here?"

"When you sum up the stories of the dealers, it's obvious that they're from the desert."

Leo nods at Dark's words.

"There are many towns and villages swallowed up in this desert. There are plenty of hiding places out in the open."

"It seems inconvenient ~. Anyway, near the outer perimeter of the desert"

Long dark snorts.

"Some of that area is made aside by criminal organizations. But this time the killer was coming from further back. Probably because you can use a Necromancer who doesn't need water or food."

"I see..."

Tilt lowered his hood and put his head out. Green hair is exposed and shines in the strong sun.

I had narrowed my eyes for a while and moved my long ears tingly.

Put the hood back on again in a few minutes.

"The chief doesn't know an eyeballed elf. He said he wouldn't even know if he saw the sketch he made."

"Is it a race-specific transmission of will... if you don't know, is it a built face"

"Built face?

"Necromancer can treat meat chunks like clay to form a shape"

Leo snorts.

"Built faces, elves... the counterfeiters also said," It's not real, but it's real ". If a real elf could be involved in elf salt smuggling, it wouldn't be as helpful."

"I see. To reassure you with appearance and sprinkle the salt of the curse as you wish. Sounds like a cunning opponent..."

"It wasn't an elf... Kaika says there's no chance of an elf necromancer, Geadorf,"

"Mr. Kaika knocked him down, but I think there's something to be said in case."

"In that case, we'll have to run. We can't handle it alone."

"You can let me get away with it."

I stepped out on a dune as I spoke.

There was an abandoned town half-burned in sand beneath the blue skies that exited.

When the three signaled with their eyes alone, they approached the town without making any noise, splitting in three directions.

The three of them looked around at the houses through the abandoned town in the desert of the kingdom of Fabrica.

From a half-collapsed cabin, a boulevard shop. I even searched the two-story lodge again.

I make a mild footsteps and step on the sand.

But the investigation ended empty-handed.

The three meet in front of a large mansion. Luxury mansion surrounded by walls. The walls were half buried in the sand.

"There was nothing in the West Side."

"The store was a tease, too."

"This is the place to stay... if you're going to experiment with magic, it's better to be wide."

Tilt roughs his voice on Dark's words.

"If you know, tell me. What a waste of time."

"It's important to block all possibilities, Tilt"

Leo says in a calm voice.

"Well, I figured it was the only place here, okay? Come on, let's keep our minds together and work hard."

"Ooh." "Copy that."

The three crept through the broken gate and entered the garden.

The mansion, built with stones piled up, boasted a gray beauty, even withstanding weathering.

The windows are all blocked by wooden boards.

Leo hangs his hand on the door knob on the front of the mansion.

"You're unlocked."

Double-opened doors that open slowly.

It's dim inside because all the windows are closed.

Dark turns his long hand forward.

"Chanting Squad Launches 5/12 - Lightsphere"

The glowing sphere was born and stayed a little ahead of the Leos.

Under that light there was a glimmer. Zombies that emit rotten odors.

Leo and the others attack me.

Tilt throws up as he slaps his fist.

"Fuck you, zombie!

"This is still the Negishi of the Negi..."

"Shall I leave this place to Tilt?"

I said as Dark pressed his glasses up hard.

"Heh! I won't do it!

When Tilt clenches his fist, the flames wrap around him.

I shook my right hand off as much as I could as I approached the zombie in light steps.

The fist struck out his head, but the shock wave also dusted his upper body into wood.

The zombie's lower body collapsed and stopped moving.

Tilt says as he waves.

"This is what it's all about."

"That's Tilt. We might have been noticed by the sound now, so let's hurry."

The Leos explored the first and second floors.

Sometimes, he encountered zombies and skeletons, but knocked them down without difficulty.

And Dark, who was checking the ground floor, finds a staircase to the basement.

Says Dark as he scratches up the long hair on his face.

"It must be here."

"Thank you very much. Guys, be careful."

He said, "I know."

Head down the stairs with Leo.

The basement was dark.

Only light bulbs illuminate round.

Dirk moved his fingers and moved the photosphere forward.

Then an eyelined elf emerged in the circle of light.

My mouth hangs all ripped up and I look at Leo with a crazy grin.

"You've finally met me, Leo. I've been waiting for this day!

"... who is it?

"Your old friend."

Leo wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember your face"

"Ha ha! That's right! My face has changed. The real face is this."

The elf grabbed his face.

I removed my face all the way down so I could take off my mask.

- It appeared from under the skin, flapping up.

Leo takes a breath.

"Ki, you... Huh!

The uppermost voice speaks loudly.

"You promised! He said he'd give me a face! He said if you become a brave man and defeat the Demon King!

"Zero..."

"You remembered me. Yeah, I'm zero. Nothing, nothing."

Tilt asks from the side.

"Who is this guy?"

"It would be a doppelgenger, probably"

Dirk answered calmly.

Leo puts his hand on his forehead.

"That's not all... he's a friend who believed me..."

And Leo spoke of the past.

◇ ◇ ◇

Some village a few years ago.

Leo was fighting demons outside the village in order to protect the village.

But because of the kindness that was born with it, or the demons that were defeated day by day were revamped and more companions became.

One day.

As Leo tried to get out of the house adjacent to the church equipped with swords and armor, he was stopped by his sister Fall in monastic clothes.

"Brother Leo, are you going to the woods again today?

"Yeah. Looks like there's been more demons lately. I'm worried about the field."

Fall looks worried and puts his hands together in front of his chest.

"Be careful. I'm worried."

"There's no such thing as a strong demon, so it's okay."

Leo gently stroked Fall's head as he grinned refreshingly.

And I left the house.

Outside the village the forest was spreading.

Walk deep in the footsteps you know on your own.

Soon a little ghost pockle walks next door. He was a demonic friend who became friends after the battle.

"Be careful, there's a serpent on the tree at the bottom, there's a pig in the bush over there"

"Thanks"

With Pockle's help, he defeats serpents and pigs.

And then we go further into the back of the woods as we turn it into material.

- and.

When I came under a certain tree, a black shadow hit me from above.

"Come on -!"

Leo waved his sword at once. Beat the shadow with the belly of the sword.

"Higgie!

The shadow was blown away and crashed into the trunk of the Oki.

The guy was shuddering and nodding.

A strange creature in the shape of a person, but overall.

His face was all over him, and his body was like a doll made of clay.

Pockle surprises me.

"What is this guy? I don't know this guy."

Leo sets his sword, while approaching the demon.

"Who are you? You don't seem human."

"I'm Zero... I think that's what they called me..."

"Do you say zero? I'm Leo. Greetings."

Then Zero said in a deaf voice.

"Who am I?

"Huh? Zero is introducing himself now..."

"That's a name that's nobody. If you had too much of your 'My Face', would you give me one? Whether it's" My Face "or" My Face. "

"What? Isn't that impossible, exactly"

Suddenly, Zero goes half frenzied and screams.

"I don't like nothing! I want to be me too! Give me your face! I'm so sad, I can't even cry!

"... well, yeah. If they take my face, will my face disappear?

"I think that's okay. Because I can just look like you."

"... ok. If you don't want to abuse me, I can give it to you after I become a brave man and defeat the Demon King."

"Really!? Thanks, Leo! I've been waiting for you!

A squeaky voice echoed in the woods forever at the exaggeration of zero.

◇ ◇ ◇

Underground of the desert mansion.

Zero screams at Leo after the talk.

"How dare you fool me! You couldn't be a brave man!

Leo chews his lips down with a spicy face. Blue hair wobbled powerless.
