Hero’s Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

"Ugh..."

"Wake up?

In response to my words, the falling asleep jumped. And I feel like I moved to pull out my sword with my hands on my hips, but those hands just cut off the sky. A woman who stares at me without hiding the color of nervousness. But the pressing atmosphere did not last. Because the woman's belly made an awesome noise and complained of her hunger.

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! And the woman enters the narrow cabin with a pitiful face, sounding as if she had farted in a grand way. An awkward atmosphere covers the area. I almost opened my mouth to say something, but I can close it without being a voice. I couldn't remember how to deal with it at a time like this because I haven't been in contact with people in the last few decades. Then the woman seemed to have recovered by herself, and she had corrected her residence and lowered her head to peck.

"... I'm sorry for being disrespectful, even though you seem to have helped me. Um... I'm very frustrated and frightened, but even a piece of bread is fine. Can I get you something to eat?

"Ugh, yeah......"

I'm not even a ghost enough to abandon a hungry person. I pulled the pork I kept for preservation from the container underneath the floor where I use it instead of the warehouse, duly smashed it into pieces, then stabbed the skewers and started searing with magic flames.

Gokuri and the woman's throat rang as the cabin filled with the fragrant smell of meat burning. My body wobbled restlessly to the left and right, like a dog in custody.

"Here."

"I'll have it!

The woman, who received to take away the offered skewer, chewed hot meat all at once and swallowed it without even chewing much. Then, don't hesitate to stretch your hands dirty in the oil to the next skewer to cheek more meat. Looking at such a sight, the woman, full of all the meat, grinned as she lit up, licking the oil on her finger.

"No. Thank you. Helpful. I haven't eaten properly in a few days."

"That's good......, you, why were you in the back of this mountain? There wouldn't be a city or a village around here, would there?

Aside from the power thing, what would the people around you think if, after all these years, there was a beautiful girl living alone who couldn't get old at all? Good and vampire-like, or worse, someone who has gained immortality in some way. Even if there's no reason to, it's just a noticeable appearance. When I touched people, I was sure it would be noisy, so I lived in the back of the mountain - in an area where there would be no more people on the continent, on land that was said to be undeveloped. I didn't even think there was a human being around for that kind of place.

"Ya, that's it. Actually, I'm an adventurer, but I've come to this mountain to hear that there are many powerful demons to make money all at once."

Adventurers - There were a lot of people who crusaded demons to make a living when I was active. I would have called it that way about a sociopath who is not serious about working tricks, has no place around him, or is not good at anything other than moving his body. Maybe this woman is one of those kind.

"Phew..."

"Hey, what is it?

The woman is bewildered by me with a sympathetic warm grin and a slap on my shoulder. I never thought I'd meet a fellow Botch here.

"Never mind. You've been through a lot, too."

"... I don't care if you seem to make some fierce and rude mistake... And, anyway, listen to me first!

The woman's name is Karin. I'm a human woman who turns twenty this year. Karin, who is not very good at using her head, said she jumped out of the house with her sword in one hand saying she would be an adventurer for what went crazy after failing to get a local job. Of course her parents and brothers desperately stopped. Naturally. Saying the Demon King has fallen doesn't mean the demons are gone, and it's always the bandit chase in insecure places. It's only suicidal for a woman who is not confident in her arms to roll alone. If I had family or friends like that, I'd stop.... but I'm not here.

But this Karin, she's retarded, but she was blessed only with her sword talent, and she showed up with a mechanical headache right after she signed up for the guild. Doing one difficult quest after another, where her name started selling, she said she made a bet with a reputable adventurer in a booze seat one day. Looks like the bet itself was a card or something, but the problem was the contents of the bet. Drunken by alcohol, Karin once again challenged the battle as collateral for what she was trying to take back after being wound up with all the money in her hand and lost brilliantly. In a hurry, she came into this undisclosed mountain in search of prey to pay off her debts once and for all, with a powerful demon out and said to be dangerous - apparently.

"Hmmm...... Well, as far as I can tell, everyone who fought on that card would be a guru."

"Yes!? Is it true!?

"No, because... it's unnatural to lose just one person that conveniently. Didn't you notice?

"If you ask me... I thought you'd be nibbling at me sometimes looking at something..."

Notice! Normally, it's such an obvious attitude, kicking a table and brawling. I'm getting a headache while I'm in other HR too much upside down. Listening to the conversation with a slight indignation, Karin mentioned an even more headache.

"So... what's the collateral for the bet?

"The... uh... it's my body"

Gakuri and his neck fall off. That's what they were after from the beginning. I can only assume so. You don't have to look at the flow ahead to understand. I guess this woman won't be able to pay her debts when the deadline comes and will be sold to the whorehouse after being made good by the guys.

"I'm sorry, but don't give up. Somehow I know how powerful you are, but the demons around here aren't weak enough to be hunted by you."

Karin began to shudder her shoulders as she leaned silently in cold words that poked reality. Are you crying?... If I were you in active service, I might have helped you without saying anything. But not me now. I learned to give back my scattered favors with vengeance. Unless you've asked for help, but I'm not willing to get involved from myself.

"I have a favor to ask!

Suddenly Karin, with her face up, screamed like that as she bit. My eyes are wet with tears and my face is red with excitement. Too bad you look pretty cute.

"... please?

"You must be very skilled, don't you? Can you help me!?

Why are you finding out!? Funny. I'm supposed to be a fancy girl right now. That's assuming the adventurer was the one who assured me that I would stand on my arm just at first sight. Were you unaware that your powers as a brave man were leaking out!? If so, I won't be able to live here any time soon. All kinds of guys are pushing me to exploit my power. But before you do, I need to ask you why you found out. I rattled my throat out of nervousness.

"... how did you know my arm was going to stand?

"Because isn't it normal for someone living alone in a mountain with so many powerful demons! Besides, earlier when I cooked meat, I was using magic without chanting! Even a skilled wizard can't be weak enough to use difficult things in everyday life!

I screwed up -! It had nothing to do with the power of the brave! I wasn't leaking it, I was leaking it! Karin goes after me more with her head in her arms.

"Besides, I've never seen anyone look that good! Are you a legendary vampire or something?

"No, it's not! Because you're a decent person!

Leave it at this time if it's a decent person not to get old, and you have to deny it. It will definitely be a hassle later. Well, you were obviously using reverence for younger me because you made such a delightful mistake. I was convinced.

"Really...? But being strong is strong, right? Please! I saw you here on some edge too, help me!

Kneel and worship me as I nod my eyes. Karin. Stop it. I'm not God or anything, and I'm still alive. Stop worshipping.

"Ugh..."

He stares at me like a puppy and accidentally misses his gaze. I can hear someone singing a huge chorus that I know it would be easier if I could poke him out here, but I should help him somewhere in my heart.... Ha... It's a loss of character to make. How many times will I be punished if I am deceived? Well, that's why I was doing brave...... I scratched my head poly with a deep sigh like I gave up.

"... ok. I'll help you."

"Ho, is that true! Thanks!

I reluctantly agreed. Karin cried under my feet. Ugly. Though driven by the urge to kick it off right now, I manage to contain it with reason, while I push Karin's head off.

"So when is the debt due?

"It's a month. It took me a week to get here, so I'm practically only about two weeks when I think about going home"

Two weeks...... if it's true, you should let him build strength and let him hunt himself, but I don't have enough time to even say such a long thing. I can't help it. Am I the only way out of here?

"Are any demons to hunt good? Who's targeting something?

"That's the... dragon"

My eyes dot unexpectedly. Dragon? Were you going to hunt that most powerful demon, the Dragon? It's only suicide through recklessness with Karin. You know you can't do it yourself. Karin doesn't try to keep an eye on you. Koitsu... you didn't change your goal because you said I'd help you out, did you?

"... okay. I'll be with you till the end because you're on a boat. Can we leave tomorrow?

"Yes! Of course!... By the way, may I ask your name?

That said, you didn't name it. It was inadvertent.

"I'm Bre..."

- And I was about to say that, and I rush to shut my mouth. My real name is a mess. It's not what I found out where the secret would leak, and it would be easier to use a pseudonym.

"Mmm! Um... I'm Lapis. My name is Lapis."

I said it twice because it's important. The name comes from these beautiful eyes. Blue and beautiful eyes with jewel-like light. That's the gem I've seen before - it looked like a lapis lazuli.

"Lapis...... right? Then again, I'm Karin. Nice to meet you, Mr. Lapis!

In contrast to Karin, who said with a playable smile, I was sneering hard.
