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

- Rubias Perspective

I've done my errands in the Wang capital, and it took me a while to wait for us to leave the castle, the arrow tip I was thinking of going back to the city of Suphore. Not exactly to me - but to party members Ciel and Karin.

"A letter of complaint has been filed by the nobility that you have been assaulted. He wants you to stay in the royal castle until the suspicion clears up..."

"Ha!?

"What's an assault!

Suddenly there was no suspicion, and the two naturally soared. In addition to his recent name as a member of the Brave Party, a civilian stuffed by two men with the title of Dragon Slayer has been frightened without a voice. I also learned to be angry, but somehow I was able to predict whose guide I would give, and I was calmer than the two of them. The exciting two were just momentum grabbed by the civilian, so they rushed in and managed to pull it apart.

"Take it easy, both of you. Maybe this is my brother's money. Nonsense, it's just harassment. I'm sure he doesn't have the courage to harm us directly, so at least he has the guts to restrict our activities."

Far from being a grand word, I mean that brother, I guess this is the result of thinking about not sleeping in retribution for being cocked by me yesterday. I sigh when I'm a really boring man.

"Even if you know it's harassment, you ignore it and you go home, you're judged to have run away because of something nasty, and you're treated like a fugitive. I know you're in business, but please enjoy this place. In the meantime, let me move and do whatever I can."

"Well, if Rubias says so..."

"You have no choice. Don't treat criminals like boulders. Good. I thought I could take a vacation at this time, so I'm going to give you a break."

"Sorry."

I bowed my head to the two people who treated me like a criminal, even though it wasn't bad because of me, and I quickly put my head around how to open things up.

§ § §

After the suspicions hung by the two of us, I began to move aggressively. To prove their innocence, we used all the handouts we could to hasten the start of the trial. The sword of truth that the master was to use to ascertain the authenticity of the information previously brought to him by Master Solciere. As long as you use that one, it's easy to prove that you two are innocent. But...

"What do you mean you can't use a sword!?

"That's the thing... because of the overlap of important trials in other cities, now it looks like they've been brought up..."

"Stupid! That's a national treasure! Come on, and it shouldn't be such a substitute to bring it up!

You don't have to know if it's a misdemeanor, and you can say that in a serious crime such as murder, you can't be tried without that sword. There are only a few bottles in the entire country... it is an anomaly that the King's capital's judicial system will no longer function to take them out of a court in the King's capital as well. Did that stupid brother do this for the sole purpose of telling me he was going to harass me? I don't want to think of that as much or anything......

"... just in case I ask, who ordered you to take it out?

"... this is His Highness Steed"

I almost lost my strength from my knee. I've always thought of him as an unfortunate man with only eyes for power, but I didn't think he was stupid so far. Can't you imagine how much damage there would be if the trial just stopped for a day? Innocent people are going to be detained for nothing, and criminals are going to have to put them in jail and put them to work, and punish them. In the first place, the population of the Wang Capital is outnumbered compared to other cities. How many criminals are there just to be captured in one day... even though I say that if the court stops functioning in one day, we're going to need facilities and expenses to detain such people. I don't even know the extent to which humans are the most powerful candidates for the next king......

- You can't do this. Until now, whether the king was incompetent or not, I thought that if the ministers around him were good, the government would turn. But if Brother Steed is going to be king, then naturally those surrounding him will take up a key position as well. If the man in charge of the national government was incapacitated, it would be useless for those below to work as hard as possible. You can't leave the king's throne to such a human being. There will be no one to follow where I aspired to be... After all, we have to ask another human being to stand on the arrow here. Resolved, I started walking towards a room in the castle. The slow walk makes me naturally fast paced, either because of the rush.

"Your Highness Rubias?

When I arrived in front of the room, the two knights who saw me, who normally never stopped by, looked at me and wondered what was going on. I was in the mood to step inside as it was, but I couldn't possibly do that, so I took a deep breath and calmed my mind.

"Follow me up, brother."

"... I understand. Please wait."

I visited my second brother, Brother Magna, in the second place to inherit the throne. Brother Steed and Brother Magna, who usually hang out with something. I honestly don't like either of them, but I can't think of anything other than Brother Magna that might help me the most in this case. Because an unprecedented act of saying things like bringing up a sword of truth should be a great offensive material to attack a political opponent. Father... no. That guy is sweet on the kid as he says what it is. I'm sure you won't help me against it, where I sued you.

"They're going to see you. Please come inside."

"Excuse me."

My brother's room, which I entered for the first time, felt cautious as a nobleman. There are not many different kinds of condiments, and there are only a wide variety of bottles decorated on the shelves, but they do not appear to be decreasing at all. Probably just to keep a gift or a visitor. There are two maids in the corner of the room and two knights of escort near the desk. On the desk was a pile of neatly assembled materials. Brother Magna's personality is disturbing even from this place. On Brother Magna, who has a nervousness that cannot be overlooked even in the finer parts, as if it were the opposite of the obnoxious Brother Steed. It's hard to say I have enough instrumentation as a king, but I still think it's better than Brother Steed trying to manipulate power as he wants it.

"Rubias? That's unusual. I can't believe you're visiting my room."

It's been a while, brother.

"I guess you're not even here to talk to the public, are you? Let's talk about it."

When I get to my seat as they say, Brother Magna waves his arm sassy. Then the knights and maids of the escort greeted him and quietly left the room. Normal talks would never see the escort leave, but I guess I decided that it was not necessary when talking one-on-one with my siblings.

"So, what?

"I'm going to tell you straight to the point. Brother, I need your help. Instead, I pledge my brother's support for the throne in the future."

"That's another... thoughtful statement."

My brother laughed bitterly, but his eyes aren't laughing at all. I need to miss a few lies. I'm just getting sharper. Surely what I said is not on a joke level. Father hasn't spoken clearly so far, but most people think that the next king will be succeeded by his first prince, Brother Steed. Brother Magna can't even object to that, so he's got to be turning his hands around a lot behind him. Even so said the Third Princess there, if one heir to the throne were to support her, the situation could move significantly.

…………

You're overmeasuring my sincerity, Brother Magna. Your eyes remain harsh. But no matter how much you look at me, I don't have a back, so I'm not upset. My purpose is simple and clear. Brother Steed, making us stop interfering in our brave party - that's all. Brother Magna, who doesn't try to talk in silence, and me, who indulges like my own room. I was the one who broke first into a situation where I didn't know which was the lord of the room.

"I'll tell you what's going on. I was wondering if you could decide for yourself if you were comfortable with it."

"... say it"

"Yes. First of all, the beginning of the matter..."

Brother Steed, an act of harassment and obstruction committed from above. And in anticipation of possible future unforeseen events, Brother Magna put his arms around Brother Steed and said he wanted to use the help of Brother Magna, the only one he could confront.

"... I understand your situation. If your story is true, he'll use every means he can to continue his bullshit obstruction."

"Do you still think so, brother?"

"It's obvious, right? Of all my brothers, I'm the one who's known him the longest, right? I don't know about you being born late, but how many times since I was a kid I've seen you hate me..."

You even remembered the unpleasant past, the look on Brother Magna's face clouds.

"If so -"

Brother Magna continues as he controls my story with his hands.

"That's why. I'm not as simple as peddling your story to see if it's high. You could actually be the man's spy, pretending to be on his side, trying to discredit him."

Well, I can't force myself to think so either, so I'm not particularly angry. I just think you're nervous.

"I don't trust you..." So you're telling me this story didn't happen?

"Well don't panic. I don't trust you for quite a reason. From people like me, I don't really want anything in return, like you, but I just don't understand people who fight for their lives for peace. You're too different from yourself."

That being said, Brother Magna raised her hair with a bitter smile. I see. Is that what you mean? From his point of view, seeking each other's interests is what makes a credible cooperative relationship. If so, the story is quick. Because all I have to do is say what he wants.

"Let's do this, then. My brother will stop interfering with us from now on, Steed. Instead, I support my brother with my reputation as a brave man and cooperate so that he can take the throne"

The look on Brother Magna's face remains the same. Because it's the same as before. But the difference is from here.

"And at dawn when my brother took the throne, he promised me that he would give me quite a territory, and then he wouldn't interfere with each other in any way - how about that?

"Hmm...... that's good. You're far more trustworthy than a man who says he doesn't want anything. Would you like me to add a waiver of the right to inherit the throne? Assuming you crusade the Demon King and raise your reputation as a true brave man, you will be threatened with the right to inherit the throne."

"... ok. Either way, I'm not interested in the throne. However, if you try to harm one of us by force, please note that I will come directly to get your brother's neck."

"Hmm...... let's mind it. Even though you guys are a pain in the ass, it would be useless to turn to your enemies until your master has any escorts. If I were you, I wouldn't be foolish enough to let go of the throne I grabbed."

Brother Magna says it doesn't seem funny, whispering his nose. After all, even on my brother, my master is scared - and a slight grin spills. A mock battle that gathered together the nobles of fame, including his father. The overwhelming fighting power of the master shown there. After seeing that one, it's nothing but a fool to think hostile. Most of all, I have one of those fools in me...

"Now my brother and I have become collaborators - are you sure you think so?

Just saying I'm done, I'm just gonna take a seat. With unexpected allies, Brother Magna seems a little in a good mood.

"Oh. I promise I will help you if my powers extend in the future. But you can help me when I want."

"Of course it is. Quickly, then, but the suspicion hung on our party members, do something about this. I can't move like this."

"I know. Then we'll figure it out soon. Totally... I didn't know you'd bring up the sword of truth. That's what you did to me. - Hey!

In reaction to what my brother said, the guards and maids who had just left came into the room again. I'm guessing you're going to give them some sort of instruction from now on to stop the obstructive activity being carried out from Brother Steed improving. Out of my specialty such as politics. Let's leave the dark battle to Brother Magna and let us turn our attention to our original enemies.
