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

Ever since I broke up with an adventurer by the name of Karin, my life has been as calm as it used to be. It's a qualitative life of plowing fields, harvesting crops, hunting beasts, eating meat, processing skins and making things around you. When I was younger, I felt lonely and wanted to go back to people a few times, but that feeling had disappeared beautifully within decades of spending alone. You can get anything in this mountain depending on your ingenuity, and water, flames, etc. can magically do whatever you want, and that's a big reason to say you won't be in trouble alone.

It's Karin that I haven't seen in a long time. She was a very irritating person to me who hadn't even had a conversation in the last few decades when the emotions of joy and sorrow seemed clear. That reminds me of the feeling of loneliness that I was asleep with, and I've been feeling restless for the past few days, but that also brought me back to normal in about a month.

"Oh man..."

Monotonic days are boring but give your mind room. Spending time in a calm mood like a finished surface of water makes me feel like a tree. There may be times when I change my mind and want to go down to people, but that must be ahead of me for the time being - Karin came to me again. And now take another human being.

"It's been a while, Mr. Lapis! This is a souvenir!

I was aware that I had a wrinkle between my eyebrows as I received something that looked like a bottle of wine with a fancy packaging.

"... what are you doing here?

Karin, who had a slightly attractive smile on my face, pushed the back of the woman who was behind her. Then the woman, who made her face stronger with nervousness, came down in momentum with her head in a big hat.

"Nice to meet you! I say Ciel, who's an adventurer! I came today for a favor from Mr. Lapis!

A loose robe in a big hat by the side. And a big cane in my hand. This woman named Ciel, she must be the wizard she looks like. What the hell is she doing to me living like a deserter like that? For some reason, it felt better to keep pushing him back, but I feel like pushing back the person I've been visiting just over a long distance, even with a handicraft.

"... I don't know what it is, but just get inside. I'll make you some tea."

"Sorry to bother you!

"I'm sorry to bother you"

Karin was fine and Ciel came inside a little reluctantly. When I say cabin, it's what I built to live on my own, and it's only a little bigger than one room in the inn. Extremely little furniture and just one bed with two tables and chairs. I thought it would be nice to have a strange girl sitting in bed, so I recommended a chair to both of them, and I sat back in bed after I made some tea.

"So, what do you say, please?

"Yes. Um... I'm well aware it's impolite, but could you teach me some flying magic?

…………

You've come up with some trouble. I don't know what I'm after. I twist my neck a little. Then Karin seemed somewhat bored, but ignored. Ignored.

"Do you want me to teach you flying magic?

"That's right. This Karin told me that you were flying through the sky with flying magic. Would you be sure to tell me that?

Flying magic - magic to fly the sky without telling you. Everyday life is, of course, user-friendly magic that can work in combat, and most wizards used it as a matter of course when I was active. I don't understand why you want to learn such magic now from me living behind these mountains.

"Wouldn't it be nice if I didn't bother to come all the way here and let the good wizard around tell me? You have a master, too, don't you?

In my words, Karin and Ciel had a flashy look for some reason.

"He said he was around... Um, Mr. Lapis. As far as I can tell, I've never seen anyone use flying magic other than Mr. Lapis."

"That's right! I don't think any of the court magicians in the kingdom can use it."

"... you're lying, right?

What the hell has happened in the last three hundred years that all that popular magic was so obsolete? It's no wonder the demon king has fallen, so attacking magic has stopped developing. But flying magic is a convenient magic for everyday use. How is that going to go away? Too much public involvement to imagine what happened in the blank three hundred years.

"Um... I've been living in the back of the mountain for a long time and I don't really know what's going on out there. I'm sorry, but can you tell me the history of the last few hundred years?

"It's good. Then I'll tell you all about history as far as I know."

Because it's become my specialty, or Ciel puts up her chest a little happily. Looking directly at the abundant swelling was a little out of sight, and listening to her story, surprising content was told from her mouth.

Three hundred years ago, the ancient brave - that is, the war I defeated the Demon King and hung up on the survival of mankind and demons - ended. And the Brave Party held important positions for each, except for the brave, and only the brave disappeared neglectfully. The remaining party members created the chicks of important organizations that will remain in the afterlife, such as the Adventurer Guild. Yeah. Up to this point, it's history I know.

The world became peaceful in the decades that followed, but now there was a war between people in contention. At first it was a dispute between the two countries, but if they noticed it, the battlefield was expanding more and more, and when they noticed it, it was a dispute on a global scale. In the meantime, there are countries that disappeared from the map and newly emerged, and the feud lasted about a hundred years, he says. They call it a period of war or a hundred-year war. I secretly sighed when people were informed of the consequences of killing each other, even though it was a world I had fought so desperately to save. Damn...... what are you doing. Now what am I for... I shake off the feeling of darkness by shaking my head.

After that, there were no major wars even as skirmishes subsided, and the world seems to have settled into its present form. That being said, there were peaceful annexations, exterminations, etc., so it didn't seem to have been the same form all along.

"This is the map now."

Ciel spreads the map he gave me out of his nostalgia on the table. I glanced at myself uncontrollably to get on with my interest, and there was a completely different form of map written there than in my brain. First of all, I don't have a country I know. They've also changed the shape of the coast and mountains, and the details looked different. After three hundred years, does it even change the shape of land?

"Was this happening now? You've changed a lot..."

"It's been in this form for almost a hundred years or more... How old the hell is Mr. Lapis?

Ciel with a muscle of sweat dripping down her forehead. Shit. My mouth slipped.

"Better than that! The reason the magic is obsolete is..."

"As you can guess, the war is the cause. A good wizard is a precious being who can dictate the battlefield by himself. They fell one after the other, citing what they pulled on the front line. Without preaching valuable magic or technology to future generations."

Ciel leaning over with a sinking look. I guess the loss of precious magic to her, the wizard, is completely different in severity compared to ordinary warriors such as Karin.

"Did that happen..."

"Yes. So please! Teach me the magic of flight! I want to revive some of my old magic!

…………

From Ciel, who bows her head, comes the seriousness with which she says she really wants to revive her magic. What shall we do...? I'd love to help, but I was worried that my teaching magic would spark an extra quarrel. But I got here because of this, and it's just pathetic to throw it back. Soon I realize I'm willing to take it on.... I knew I'd have a personality I couldn't refuse if I was counted on.

"Okay. If that's all I'm saying, I'll tell you."

"Ah...... thank you!

"Good for you, Ciel!

I smile bitterly as I see the two of them happy to hug each other. It's no big deal to me. Magic is irreplaceable to her. Looking at Siel, who looks really happy, kind of makes me happy this way.

"Then I just wanted to say... but from what I've seen, Ciel's magic is still low. It consumes quite a lot of magic when I use the magic of flight, so I think I can't fly much if I teach it now."

"Huh..."

Ciel, who at once becomes a desperate face like he was sent from heaven to hell. Karin lying next to me just panicked awesome and I can't seem to figure out how to comfort her.

"You don't have to panic. I'll do the archery for a while, so don't worry about magic. Just be prepared because I think it's going to be a pretty hard training."

"Yes..."

"Then Karin will do the archery, too. You're bored just watching."

"Yeah!?

Smile nicely at the two amazed people. It's like I haven't had a change in my life in a long time. It's bad for both of us, but let's have a good free time at best. I was a little concerned about the frightened look on their faces, but I was secretly determined.

§ § §

The training that started the next day was all kinds of fresh. Everything was in a state of hand exploration because you lived for more than three hundred years and you had no experience in teaching people anything.

I tried muscle treading by my own standards, and I collapsed a lot of times without doing it, and if I tried sinking it in the water trying to get my lungs to work out to use magic, I was going to sink and drown dangerously. It didn't take that long for my hopeful and motivated eyes to be colored with regret and despair.

"It's a ghost..."

"Look cute... Lapis is the devil incarnate..."

"That's a terrible word. I'm working out with good intentions."

Daily training is tearing them apart. The gear I was wearing broke quickly, and the kind of sword is spilling blades and staying the same as blunt weapons. Conversely, the two bodies were visibly changing. The body where the wasted meat has been shredded is tight and like a wild animal. My eyes changed sharply and my respect for me and my reluctance was completely gone. Thanks to you, I'm now called Lapis or something. This was also a fresh experience.

How long has it been since you two started training? A month is definitely past, but not as long as two months. I don't know the criteria right now, but I think I've got the strength to be an old recruit.

"Is this good?

"Yes, yes. That's how you circulate magic successfully in your body. You've improved a lot."

"Bye. Of course, when you're awake, when you're asleep, you keep telling me to mind my magic circulation, so it's natural to be good, right?

Ciel's magic power has more than doubled compared to the first. She originally had qualities, but it looks like she's only been through a raw fight before, so she woke up the sleeping part without being used. Then, in addition to the overall increase in magic, the control of magic was as good as someone else's. Even the same magic changes power depending on the user. For example, if Ciel today uses the magic of fire, it must probably have the power to dissolve even iron. Her previous girlfriend would have at best turned iron red.

"Come on, Lapis! Another bottle!

Karin also had her sword arm up quite a bit. Unlike Ciel, she doesn't need training to use magic. So from the beginning, I kept playing games in action with me. Naturally I get injured because it's a form of actual battle. If I get my fist tapped in, I'll break my bones, and if I get cut with a sword, my body will cut off and my blood will erupt. But no problem. Because my magic will cure you in no time. Even Karin, who made a fuss every time she was injured at first, is now no longer speaking as loud as she broke her bone. I couldn't even match my sword, but now I can only take one blow.

"Okay, so it's time to finish your training"

Two people are opening their mouths to a sudden declaration of termination. I started indefinitely with deadlines and stuff, and I guess the end was too abrupt.

"Huh...?

"Over?"

"Yeah. Over. We're both getting pretty strong already. Ciel has the power to withstand flying magic, and Karin has the strength to hunt demons around here by herself. So let's take a graduation exam."

As soon as I heard the word exam, they looked terribly nasty. By my standards, they were about to die from lukewarm training. You must think it will be tougher than ever if it becomes an exam. I smiled nicely to reassure the two of them.

"You don't have to worry about it. Because the exam is an easy one. First of all, Ciel, I'm going to teach you flying magic, so we're going to keep you floating in the air until tomorrow morning. And Karin. You hunt twenty demons around you. Any kind is good. We have until tomorrow morning."

Now it's about a few hours after the sun rises. That means Ciel will have to keep floating in the universe for almost twenty-four hours. Magic is, of course, a test that requires strength, strength, and above all concentration. Unlike Karin, who would just hunt demons, I think Ciel's exams are pretty harsh content.

"Tomorrow morning..."

"Ciel, are you okay?

To Karin, who looked worried, Ciel smiled powerlessly with a blue face.

"It's okay. I'll show you what I've accomplished so far. Karin is a monster crusader."

"... yeah. I'll go then. Because I'll be back as soon as I can."

After exchanging embraces, Karin popped the blade spilled sword out in one hand. Karin would be fine to leave her alone right now. Let's do what we have to do now.

"Ciel. Are you ready?

"Sure. Anytime."

"Okay. Then I'll teach you. Flying magic is..."

If it's easy to say the magic of flight, it's the magic of flying through the sky by releasing the magic in your body out of your body and eliminating physical interference such as gravity. The method of saying to put this magic out there is a variety of advantageous applications, so I used to use not only the wizard, but also a number of warriors. Naturally I can use it too. I dropped the dragon's neck with the cheap sword Karin uses, also because I used moves that applied this.

Hearing the explanation, Ciel remained a serious expression and repeated the freshly remembered chant in a whisper. And when I turn my gaze forward, I cast my flying magic in a grand tone with magic all over my body.

"- The rooted magic of the world! Unleash me from the wedge of gravity and give me great wings!

At the next moment, when I wondered if Ciel's body had risen flutterly, he flew away to the sky with great momentum.

"Khaaaaaa!?

"Ciel!

I rush after her and call desperately to calm her down as she lines up next to Siel, who is panicking. The wind is ringing in my ears with a buoy. I shouted so I couldn't beat it.

"Calm down! Calm down and control the magic! If you squeeze the amount of magic that's flowing, you'll lose nature, speed, and altitude!

"Wow, okay!

While we were having this exchange, our cabin under our eyes was about the size of a bean grain. My face catches on faster than expected. Looks like Ciel and Flying Magic went better than I thought. I stopped altogether wondering if Ciel's ascent had slowed down gradually when he regained his composure, and this time began to descend slowly. Good, 'cause seriously, it would have sucked if I kept going up like this.

"Yes... keep it slow..."

Ciel doesn't respond to my voice and seems to be concentrating all the time. That serious look spilled a grin unknowingly. It would have been hundreds of years before I punched into something like this. I was a little jealous of Ciel for trying something new.

§ § §

"I'm... Ah! Ciel!"

Karin, who came home frayed, rushed to stop and put her index finger on her lips to be quiet as she tried to rush over to Ciel, who remained afloat in the universe. Karin seemed to have successfully hunted twenty of her target demons and was able to assume the evidential part like a mountain. I don't even have to bother checking because I don't think you're going to lie a sigh of relief to mislead the numbers with Karin's personality.

"Wow. Ciel, it's really floating"

"We still have a long way to go. Karin will be tired, and you can sleep first."

"Yeah. I'm going out with you, too. I can't do anything, but I want to be there for you."

As a matter of course, Karin stared silently at her as she sat right beside her so as to accompany Ciel, who could not even eat. No matter how many hours have passed, whether you have a belly worm or are tired and drowsy. I kept an eye on Ciel until morning.

A long, long time had passed when a minute could feel ten or twenty times more, and the eastern sky was finally starting to brighten. The soft sun envelops us as we warm our chilled bodies in the cold of night. Is Ciel about to have his limits, his body shaking up and down from just now and his altitude isn't stable? Karin was desperate to encourage her.

"Ciel! Good luck! One more breath!

Cheered Ciel rose slightly to try to eat up his teeth and maintain altitude. But I guess that was the limit. I rush in to take Siel's body, which suddenly falls like a thread cut off.

"Ciel......!

"I'm fine. I'm just asleep"

Ciel in his arms was resting quietly. The expression seemed proud and full of confidence as if it had overcome difficulties.

§ § §

"So we both pass. Well done."

"I did it. Oh!

"Yikes!

The two people who are told to pass are blasting their joy as they raise their non-girly roar. I caught a little glimpse of it, but let's close our eyes at this point. After Ciel fell over the limit, she stayed asleep all day. That's not unusual, it's a phenomenon commonly found in wizards who are depleted of magic. The next day, it seemed like Ciel, who jumped up, was worried about failing the exam, but for now, I let him eat first, calm him down, and now I tell him the results of the exam.

Ciel's excitement, which he thought was a complete failure, is considerable, repeating the mysterious motion of jumping with his fist up. Karin expressed joy in the odd way she said rolling around the floor with Karin.

"Uh, is it time?

One delighted two seem to have regained their composure in the boulder, and when they are embarrassed to correct their residence, they take their seats as if nothing had happened. No, no, because that's not deluded.

"Now that Ciel's got the flying magic, which is his goal, there's no longer a reason for you two to be here."

"Ah..."

As I've noticed it now, the two of them are hacked. I endured a tough training for about two months, so I went back to the city and each one was active, and I thought I was just going back to my usual quiet life, and Karin and the others said something unexpected.

"That's it... Lapis! Wouldn't you like to join us in the city!?

"Is...?

I'm going down this mountain? I get upset not even in the pattern about the suggestion I didn't even think about. Why are you two saying that? Did I look like I was living such a miserable life?

"I don't think I realize it myself, Lapis, but sometimes you look lonely. It was mostly when we were talking about the fun things we experienced in the city."

"I kind of know you live here for some reason. But if there's no special reason, let's go with us. 'Cause it's gonna be fun."

I was about to miss you...? Me? Really? Ever since I started living here in the last 300 years, I've never felt lonely, even if I thought I was bored. After all, it was because a lot of people were treating me like a disturber and I was afraid to make contact with people. Still, were you looking for contact with people while you didn't realize it?

"Can't...? We don't want to leave Lapis alone in such a lonely place." "Please! Think you can help us! Because if you don't like it, you can go right back!

I don't see why you're doing that, and you two are trying to burn down my care. But it just conveyed that you two were worried about me. Since when did people worry about you? He was too powerful to even worry about the people he fought with. Something was itching and I was even more surprised at myself now that I was a little happy.

"Right...... right. Then I'll come with you, sweet as you say."

"Really!? Good!"

"You did it! Lapis, I'll show you a lot of things to thank for your help! Because I won't bore you!

After a while, I may not like it again and come right back here, but it's not too bad to try to get down into people for the first time in a long time. It should give a good stimulus to life just boring. Let's see with these eyes what the world looks like after 300 years. He was secretly heartbeating, grinning bitterly at the two people who were happy to hug me.
