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

- Karin point of view

I just went to the demonic realm the other day, so now I can't go the wrong way. Because the map, which is not long to buy, details the waterfront, places where food can be taken and points where rest is likely to be possible. The three of us had made good progress down the street and arrived in the desired village in a week and a little while.

"Welcome aboard, adventurers. My name is Comine, and I work for the village chief."

That's what the mayor of the village, who welcomed me, gave me a deep bow of his head to show. I see an indelible fatigue on that face. I don't think he cared when the demon attacked him. The Kingdom of Bordeaux is only a very large and large country, and if anything happens, it often takes time to go help, so you shouldn't be able to move as easily as an adventurer if you ask your lord for help. I don't think that's why I didn't feel comfortable living until we got here.

"I want to know more about the situation first, so could you show me somewhere I can calm down?

"I'm sorry about this. Then please come to my house. It's such a nearby village, so there's no inn."

Mr. Comine walked out on us with his back to Ciel's words. Oh, my God... there's no room. I was tired of all the wild boarding houses, so I wanted to take my time at the inn today or so. Can't you help but disappear? I switched my mind and followed Mr. Comine, but I looked back because there was only one person with a stopped leg. Then there was the figure of Dieria, who stood with a tired face, to say goodbye.

"Dealia, what are you doing? I'll be there."

"Bath...... I wanted to come in..."

I know how you feel. Dieria, a forest fairy elf, is a girl who usually cares a lot about her familiarity. She's a different type of beauty than Lapis, and she's very hot for a guy. You've actually seen the guild and the whole city being called out over and over again. Even when she's on an adventure like that, she likes a bath so much that she wants to take a bath in the water that she can always say if she can afford it. Sometimes I get used to just wiping my body with a wet cloth. If it's me or Ciel, I wonder if I don't have to go that far.

"Oh, I didn't realize this. If you have a bath, it's in my house, so for now, everyone relax in my house. Tomorrow is the day to go on a crusade."

"... excuse me. Let me be careful."

"No. Never mind."

As soon as I heard there was a bath, Dieria got better. Me, Ciel and Mr. Comine will laugh bitterly at that cash look.

He was only acting as village chief, and Mr. Comine's house was about a turn larger than the surrounding house. There were also a total of three rooms inside, with the exception of Mr. Comine's private room and dining room, where we could stay. In the meantime, after getting out of gear and getting easier, I headed to Mr. Comine's waiting dining room, where I had three teas available that I had just put in.

"Go ahead, gentlemen. Take it easy."

"Thank you"

"Thank you."

"Thanks"

I was just thirsty, so I don't hesitate to mouth the tea. The tea, kept at a moderate temperature not too hot or too warm, was easy to drink and delivered moisture to every corner of my tired body. Unexpectedly sipping and all three exhaling deeply in exhalation, Mr. Comine put in a change with a smile on his face.

"Now, as soon as possible, would you mind if I told you about the request?

"Of course it is. Please."

"Now, from the first sighting -"

Mr. Comine's story did not differ significantly from the contents of the request. We will listen in silence with the meaning of confirmation to make sure there is no difference from the contents of the request. There is no mistake in crusades, numbers, sightings, rewards, any of them. Occasionally, I may be able to rub it with different stories or low rewards, but this time it looks like the requisition was done properly.

"There's a rock in the back of the woods, but they seem to be rooting there. It used to be temporarily a mining site, so there are a few small pits."

"That's... that's troublesome"

Anyway, if it's a big place, I don't want to fight Firelizard in a narrow straight line like a pit. Sometimes I say it's hard to wield a sword, but there's no place to avoid braces, so the difficulty of asking increases grossly depending on where you fight.

"Is there more than one entrance or exit to say it was a pit?

"No, there are many entrances and exits, but they are all connected to a position facing the forest. It's connected inside, so you can't even say it's one big cave."

"I see. Then you don't have to go all the way to the back of the hole."

Party wisdom bag, laughed thinly as if Ciel had come up with something. She can count on you at times like this. I'm not very good at using my head, because unlike me, you think of good maneuvers.

"Ciel?

"If the pit is connected inside, I have two ideas for you right now. The first is how to set fire to the hole and block the entrance and exit. The air inside could be gone and they could suffocate on their own. But we can think of things that don't work because they're like spraying fire on their own, and there are pitfalls in this plan."

Dieria continues to supplement Ciel's proposal.

"Right. I don't even know if FireLizard needs a breather. Besides, there is no guarantee that there are no small air holes in the pit, regardless of the fire lizard body. If the suffocation operation fails, the pit will be hot, and we will be at a disadvantage. If that happens, we'll have to turn back."

I see. I never thought of that until you two told me. I knew we were both smart.

"Then one more thing. Now you use the magic of ice. Don't block the hole completely, just keep sending cold air into the pit. Fire Lizard... or lizards are basically vulnerable to the cold, so I think they'll probably either slow down and come out, or they won't be able to move and they're solidifying in the pit."

"Sounds better that way. But isn't that too much of a burden for Ciel?

"I'll try my best not to push you."

"... somehow, but I figured out the operation. So, what do I do?

Looks like we got something together. I kind of care that you two are looking at me with tender eyes. But my role is to be a shield for both of us and wave the sword. Because that's all I need.

"Karin stabbed me in the fire lizard coming out of the hole. The cold will be slowing you down, but don't be alarmed, okay?

"I'll help, too. But it's a bow. Be careful, Karin will be targeted intensively when she comes forward alone."

"Okay. Let me do it!

"... Ladies and gentlemen, if we've decided on an operation, let's have dinner for now. We'll have it ready soon, so prepare for tomorrow."

There is no reason to refuse Mr. Comine's recommendation. While we were thankful, we were allowed to rest at Mr. Comine's house that day.

The next morning, we set out for the fire lizard pit. In addition to the three of us, there are two guided villagers. They are both hunters, so they are likely enough candidates to escape in the unlikely event of a demon attack.

"What skin is that made of?

"I'm a pig. Pretty sturdy. That's why I treasure it."

On the road, Dieria was definitely repeating the question as to whether she was concerned about the bows and clothes the hunter had. As soon as I went into the woods, I was in this condition, so maybe it's just the elves and I like them in the woods after all.

"That's it."

The direction one of the hunters points, the rocky skin visible from between the trees. There were a number of holes in that wall, as Mr Comine said.

"Thank you for your guidance. We'll do it later, so you can go back."

"Take care"

"Good luck"

From here on out, it's our job. Two of the hunters have to go back to the village and fight for just the three of us. I have had the experience of entering the demonic realm and fighting strong demons. But I still get nervous before any enemy fights against me. Side by side Ciel and Dieria were also a little nervous.

"I'll use detective magic."

Immediately after Ciel put up his cane and concentrated his consciousness, a wave of magic spread radially around her. If you are a sharp sensory person, animal, or demon, you may have noticed the detective magic of today. But if they're blunt lizards, they won't realize what we're looking for.

"... no. There's a wave of magic in the hole that can't be found. I wish I could have used some powerful detective magic like Lapis."

"You can't compare me to Lapis."

"Yes, yes. There's something wrong with her."

That's what I said and the three of us laughed. They say it's terrible where he's not, but there's no one among us who doesn't like Lapis. I'm just joking.

"I'm just going to have to go and see it in person."

I lift my hips from the hidden bushes and slowly approach the pit as I unravel my body. If you need to see it directly, the role of reconnaissance is up to me. Ciel is a wizard, and Dieria is a bowman. The dagger seems to work too, but not as close as I am right now, so this was my best choice.

"Well, I'll scout you"

"Please."

"Be careful."

Ciel dropped me off on reconnaissance, with the magic, and Dieria with her bow at all times. Pull out the sword you are accustomed to using and approach the rock with a light foothold. The entrance to the pit was well seen, according to the nearby area. At the same time, there's a weird smell coming from inside the hole. Something smells like rot and animal shit mixed up, just smelling it makes me feel bad.

"What is this...?

There was no sign of a fire lizard near the entrance, so I thought I'd peek into the hole. Then into my sight, a rotten corpse of a scattered animal pops in.

"Ugh!?

I accidentally jumped away and held my nose down. I'm used to seeing it if it's a gross corpse, but I want you to give me a break when I'm not ready for anything. Maybe this is after a fire lizard meal. I mean, I guess this smell is a mixture of rotting corpses in holes and the smell of their shit.

"That sucks...... I don't want to go in the hole..."

I know you can't say that either. But I have to. Because that's what I call an adventurer. Once the safety had been confirmed, I called in Syel and the others. Come on, now. Let's get this operation started.
