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

The three of us, whose bandits' crusade is over, are just resting in their respective rooms now. She said she needed a period to rest her body because she had been in the wild for nearly two weeks back and forth, and that her desire for a bath was true, especially in the case of female adventurers, and that if she returned from her adventure, few women would be caged in a bath for a few hours.

The man deceived by the example pair of men and women wanted to meet when asked about the results of the bandit captivity, but they are currently being placed in a castle hut, so they shouldn't be face-to-face. I'm sorry, but I can't help it all. Rubias also seemed to feel something after his first real battle, and when he came back, he seemed a little different in the face. If she stretches at her current rate, she should be able to be stronger.

One day, when I thought all that was going well, a single messenger came under me, making the surroundings noisy to Russia.

"Master Lapis."

"Yes, but what about you?

"I'm late for my application. My name is Bros. The Emperor of the Rebble Empire, His Majesty the Rebble V."

That's what the man who had been smiling at me for buying out on holiday said and bowed his head deeply. In addition to his stupid polite bow, he's polite in his language, so at first glance he seemed like a polite person, but his eyes clearly looked at me - no, it belonged to a nobleman who looked down on civilians.

"... what the hell is it to me to serve His Majesty the Emperor?

I don't have a good impression of the Rebble Empire. The general blame is on that stupid brave man, but I'm uncomfortable with the Levre Empire itself, which I can't help but put such a guy on behalf of the country. Knowing or not my mood like that, Bros answers with a sticky grin.

"As a matter of fact... Your Majesty the Levre, our Lord, has said that he wants to invite you to our country"

"Invite?"

What makes the Rebble Empire call me? Normally, it would be retaliation against me for beating up brave men. Regardless of this bordeaux kingdom with no local interests, it is no wonder that we think that we can do anything within the Levre Empire, where we are based. The next thing I know, it's about scouting, but I don't even think you want me for shaming them.

"When you say invite, what exactly?

"His Majesty has your activity in his ear and wants to see you once and for all. That martial arts that beat the brave men of our country with his bare hands, he wants to look directly at it for future reference. Of course, this one pays for all the travel expenses, so you don't have to worry about the financial aspects. We will also give you some bounty when you return. What do you say?

It's a way of talking that I'm not supposed to say no, even if I'm out lousy. Well, what do we do? Not a bad story from what I've just heard, but I don't think that's all I can do. You must be in some kind of trouble. If so, the answer is decided. You would refuse.

"I'm sorry, but let me resign. Because when it comes to going to the Rebble Empire, you have to vacate your home for a long time, and you can't take that long off from work."

The moment I said that, the attitude of Bros, who had been soothing, changed. I have an obvious expression of contempt and have not even tried to hide my disgust.

"... at all. He said if people were out lousy, they'd be on top of it. You think there's room for choice in civilian flair? If your majesty is calling, just keep your mouth shut and follow me, little girl!

"... is that what it is? You're a nasty man for a long time. If you're going to name the emperor's use, you better keep your attitude consistent until the end. Otherwise, not only you, but even your Lord will seem nasty."

"-! Little girl, let me tell you!

As soon as Bros jumped backwards, multiple humans jumped out of the shadows around him. The face is covered with a mask and the body is covered with a loose cloak. Probably for the purpose of concealing the likeness of weapons. Typical assassin style. Five of those guys are moving back and forth in position to surround me.

There's no sign of anyone but these people around. Some of them happened to be down the back road, but they should have kept people away from leaning in advance to raid me. But, well, that consideration is appreciated by me. Because you can get busted without worrying about your surroundings. You're upset with me for not showing any upset, Bros makes a golden cut that cripples his eclampsia.

"Tell me you'll follow me adultly! That way I'll forgive you to the point of hurting you a little. But if I refuse, I'll kill him half and then I'll take him. I'm telling you, if they fight together, even the braves win. They specialize in fighting humans!

Is that why you didn't let him carry out the raid on his own, and the confidence that came out in front of me with dignity? If you observe the assassins around you chilling, I see, they do look like the ones with the skill there. It moves quickly and is collaborative. That idiot brave opponent who's been on guard from time to time will win without a problem. But...

"Don't make me say it again and again. I told you I'd say no. Besides, you were gonna get all these people together and beat me? If that's the case, they licked me."

"Nah -!? Yes! You guys, do it!

Assassins flying in unison. If I stayed on the spot, I would have been pierced by their swords, and I would have sunk into a sea of blood in an instant. Naturally, I'm not going to let that happen, so I'm going to make a big jump straight up.

"Sweet! Your way of fighting has been investigated!

Bros' unleashed magic flies as if you had targeted me clearly. It's pretty quick when you were chanting. The flaming spear that looms right in front of you is definitely a direct hit course. But I let my fists wrap my magic around them without panic, and I swung my fists out against the flaming spear that flew.

"What no!?

Bassi - and the sound of tapping something dry disperses the magic unleashed by the broth. You didn't think you'd be paid for magic by your bare hands, Bros' face is stunningly distorted. The only way to attack me outside of magic is to throw a bow and arrow or stone. But no matter what they looked like, they didn't look like they had bows. If so, then the later is a unilateral development. He stunned all but the broth he rushed to escape by the magic of thunder, and the last remaining broth defeated him with a kick that exploited the momentum of the fall.

"Gu!"

Bros, voiced like a crushed frog, is stuffy trying to escape while crawling. You're a very sturdy man for a nobleman. Maybe he said he used magic, and he knows how to fight. As I approached him with my big crotch, I stepped on his back.

"Gu!? Oh, you!

"You thought you could get away with it? Kidnapping and attempted assault on the territory of another country. You don't think it's gonna be free, do you?

"Heh, heh! Such a thing, with the prestige of the Rebble Empire, can easily be wiped out! Even if we get caught, it's an immediate acquittal!

"It's your freedom to think so. Just go to sleep."

After releasing the magic of thunder again and stunning Bros, I brought my guards back to this scene. The broths are taken by the citations wrapped around with rope, monkeys in their mouths and blindfolds in their eyes. That's why they walked down the boulevard, so naturally it was the focus of attention. I finally remember my original purpose while dropping them off like that.

"I'm curious... Don't you ever see your face again? Let's forget it. We need to get home early and do dinner."

After becoming somewhat famous, I was prepared for this to happen one day. But if the other person comes by force, I'd rather appreciate it. Regardless of the form of an order from a boss who cannot defy his position, it would not be bitter to this extent. Wipe the broth out of my head, and I'll hurry home. I'm the one on meal duty today, so Karin and Ciel are waiting hungry.

§ § §

About a week after there was a broth incident, when the very existence of the incident began to weather in me, I suddenly got a call from Master Grom. I don't have any good memories of the nobleman calling. I tried to skip on the grounds of abdominal pain, but Mr. Creek, the guild master, spotted me and took me to the castle. It's too uncomfortable to be seen with a slightly creepy eye.

"Rest because your stomach hurts, are you a child?

"Give me a break...... There's definitely something going on here."

"But it couldn't have ended where I skipped this time, could it? If you don't like it, it's easier to end it with Sassa."

I can't believe I can make an honest argument that doesn't make any noise. I just keep my head down. Walking in front of me as if I were a criminal to be punished was a room I had been in before. Just like last time, there is a large table on the terrace, ready for tea and sweets. And there was the faceless Master Grom and Rubias for some reason.

"Rubias?"

"Master. I'm going to be joining you on this one.... because it has something to do with me too"

"You've come a lot. Mr. Lapis, Creek. Well, have a seat."

Sit in a chair while you can move on. Mr. Creek seemed worried about what to say about Rubias and how to deal with him, but in the end he took a seat with a gratuity to see if he decided that minimum courtesy was enough. When tea turns to everyone and the maids leave the venue, Master Grom finally opens his mouth.

"There's nothing else I've had you come to today. Lapis, you and His Highness Rubias received an invitation from the Levre Empire."

Rebble Empire... I finally remembered the broth I had forgotten about when I heard the word. I was so uninterested, I almost disappeared from my memory in no time.

"What do you call an invitation?

"Oh. He wants to invite Master Rubias, a brave candidate for the Kingdom of Bordeaux, and his master, Mr. Lapis, to conduct a national prestige launch. It just seems to be called a national authority, but also a candidate for bravery and bravery from another country"

"Hmm?

There was an unexpected strange voice. The national authority of the Rebble Empire? Maybe you want to gather brave men from all over the country and show the people the power of the emperor, but why do you have to go along with that? Why don't we just ignore it?

"Lapis, I understand your question. Normally, I don't have the muscle or brother-in-law to go along with this. It's only natural to say no, but I've got a situation that doesn't work."

"Saying?

"I'll talk. Master."

According to Rubias's story, there appear to be a number of countries that have expressed their participation in this story. I can only speculate on the thoughts of each country as long as they are not even on their own, but I am talking about perhaps showing off the power of their own brave men, measuring the power of the brave men of other countries, or both. Even so, once the brave men of the participating countries have been invited as national guests, it seems difficult to say no to the invitation.

"Besides, if our kingdom of Bordeaux, which claims to be the best nation on the continent, did not let out the brave, it would also be insulted by the surrounding countries. No brave men exist in the Kingdom of Bordeaux. He said he was all over the place."

Is that what you're saying? Then I'm sure you can't say no. Not that Rubias is approved as a brave man at the moment, but that means he has to go as one of the candidates. Besides... I suspect the real purpose of this invitation is to bring me out. I'm not the only one who seems to have thought that, and Master Grom has a difficult face with his arms around him.

"Lapis, the reason I summoned you is because you are the master of Master Rubias, a brave candidate - what, it doesn't seem to me that I have any other purpose"

"I heard the master was also raided the other day by the nobles of the Rebble Empire. You think their purpose was to transfer their master to the Levre Empire? They want to somehow take their master's immense power into the Levre Empire."

"Lapis, your personal combat skills are unparalleled, as well as your leadership. I can snort what the Rebble Empire wants."

I knew you'd think so. With that said, what happened to the people who attacked me? Surely you should have been put in this castle's cell, so do you still keep it locked up?

"Dear Grom, What happened to those raiders? Is that jail time? Or, like, deport you to your home country on acquittal?

To my question, I turn to such a face, like Master Grom reminded me of something I don't like.... Something wrong?

"... they'd be dead. Death in prison."

"Dead!?

You've been pimping all that bad on me? You even had some serious illness? No... that can't be right. Normally, you wouldn't give orders to people like that to go to another country and grab people. Besides, that man - Bros - said that even if he was caught, he could get out right away with the power of the Rebble Empire. I didn't even think I was gonna die. Well, suppose...

"Assassination - is it?

"That's sharp. It looked like suicide in the circumstances. From what I've seen dead faces, I don't think I wanted death from myself very much. That was probably magic or drug used. in such a cursey way that it activates at the point of captivity"

"I didn't know we were going to dispose of the assassins as well as even the nobles... The Emperor of the Rebble Empire seems like a very scary man."

Rubias' expression is not excellent. I can't let her resign in this situation, and if the emperor I'm about to meet finds out he's such a man, I guess he's scared. Then as a master, I'll have to take care of my adorable apprentice. I don't know what I can do.

"Rubias, Master Grom. If that's the case, I'll join you. I'll try to protect you from Rubias."

"Thank you. Master Rubias would be relieved if you would join us. But be very careful, too. No matter how strong you are, drugs and magic can rob you of your will. Don't be too cautious."

"I know. I promise you no one will get hurt and you will come back without lacking. That's why you said that, Mr. Creek. The guild and the training center..."

"I know. I'll reassemble your shift while you're away. You can go in peace."

"Thank you"

Even if I say I'll protect you, I can't be stuck with Rubias for 24 hours. I'm honestly tough when I'm alone. If so...... I need help. Let's help them.
