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

- Apulian Perspective

My name is Aprilia. O demon king, who reigns over one of the five demonic realms currently divided. Unlike other self-proclaimed demon kings, I don't like force pushing. Everything is smart and efficient. The present demonic realm is me to the northeast and Trianf to the southeast. Piaggio to the northwest and Ducati to the southwest. And the demon king - Agusta - who has just been revived in the center. Agusta, who was once our Lord. When I was serving, I had respect, and I felt threatened by that power.

But that's a story of the past, too. Unlike when I was just a young man, I now have the power to outdo Agusta once was. What the hell can you do with that incompetence that was defeated by the brave and drove the entire demonic clan one step ahead of you... Well, that's not something to think about right now. What matters now is the information that my man, Futura, has brought back - information on the survival of Brave Men.

Brave Brave - a human brave man who suddenly appeared just before the Demon Nation assumed world domination when a war began over the continent's champions by demons and people. A monster who has used all kinds of weapons and magic and has reversed the situation at once with overwhelming personal combat power. A being who took over one named Demon Nation after another and terrorized all Demons with its overwhelming fighting power. To say that Brave was alive was never something that could be ignored.

Encouraging him to speak, Hutula began to talk about Brave's sightings in various ways, dripping cold sweats with potatoes.

"This time it was an operation to say we were going to hold royalty and city people hostage, but it was Brave and his people who got in the way of it."

According to Futura's story, that's the brave Brave, the one woman who came aboard the lurking mansion in Koz. This guy called Futura, he's retarded, but his arm stands there, and he can be a relatively strong one among my many men. I'm surprised that she had no hands, no legs, and was unilaterally sealed. He said that the woman named Lapis was the same person who had previously hunted down Lax, Trianf's men, so he was convinced that he was Brave.

"There is no such thing as a human being who can crush a weapon with his bare hands and fight demonic opponents with his bare hands, except Brave! Plus the killing and physical feelings I felt from him, that's definitely Brave's and the melons I've seen in the past. It's possible to say that you're just passing on technology, but I don't think it's likely that Brave's distant apprentice happened to be the one who fought me in these three hundred years."

Sure, you can't imitate that no matter how much a normal person works out. When I say human, I don't have that much powerful power racially. Elves if magic. If you have arm strength, Dwarf or Lizardman should definitely be outnumbered. Brave is the one who overshadowed that common sense, but I don't even think I can be on par with such a monster just because I worked out on a boulder.

"I see...... If you're right, you must be Brave, the woman who said that Lapis or something has changed her appearance. But... what is the purpose of it?

"Oh, that's... I'm sorry. I don't know."

That's what I say and I bow my head again, Futura. Ma, the other guy was a brave man, even if he was. Is it possible to see it through to the extent that it is obvious?

"Hmm, I understand the situation. I won't let you punish them for being bad this time."

From the relief in which his life was saved, Futura lifted her head with joy. But that look freezes right away. Because I was looking down with cold eyes that looked like even a bug.

"Don't get me wrong. I'll spare you the punishment for now, but I didn't mean to forgive you. If you want to regain your honor, return it with your future work."

"Also, of course! Tell me what it is!

Watching Futura lay flat to rub her head against the ground, I think a little bit about what kind of work I would give him.

"Right. Then you watch Lapis. Find out what he's changing his name and appearance for, and find out what's likely to be his weakness. If I had the bracelet I gave you, I would still be disguised, even if it was covered with sacred magic all over the city. You make me lurk as a human being without ever being noticeable or distracted. If I can do that, I'll give you a break for this lapse. But if something fails again..."

"Be sure! I'll do it and show you! Leave it to me!

He was hit by my killing spirit, which leaked out again, and Futura declared it so by turning bright blue. When I paid my hand to get rid of it as if it were even a wild dog, I walked out of the room more than twice as fast as I did when I came in. Did I freak you out a little too much?

"Nevertheless...... hehe. I can't believe Brave was alive!

I still remember vividly. A presence that engraved a fear that never disappeared in my heart that was only a young daughter. It wasn't a battle then, but maybe we can work it out now. But I don't imitate stupid things like fighting in person. In case you could die, it's a battle to avoid.

"We have to induce them well to defeat the other demon kings. In the meantime, we need to hit it with Trianf."

In an unpopular dark room, I take a glass of wine from the cupboard to fill its contents. The aromatic fragrance coming out of my nose further elevated my mood. That's getting interesting. I laughed alone, enjoying the taste of wine through my throat.

A series of disturbances in the Strom kingdom - ranging from the demonic invasion to the hostage noise - led us back to the city of Suphore. Looks like most people thought this would bring the peaceful routine back again... but at least we didn't think the party would be that relaxing.

"We were lucky to win this time, but that doesn't necessarily happen again next time. Master, put on further archery for me!

"I'm going out with you, too. This time it was critical. I'd like to fight a little more sparingly."

I think Rubias and Dieria felt the crisis. It must have been so dangerous to see Dieria especially motivated to skip something usually. Looking at Chirali, it looks like Ciel and Karin are going out with each other, too. All right, if that's what you're saying...

"Right...... I got rid of the Demons this time, too, and I just wanted to work myself out again once. Shall we take a cohesive break and train them all?

"Sassy!

"Do you also work out your master? I look forward to this!

"You've never seen Lapis work out. Interesting."

"The secret of strength may be explored..."

... I'm sorry I'm expecting so much, but I don't think I've done that much. It's just the extent to which the menus that are going on at the training center today feel raw.

"By the way, Lapis, are you going somewhere?

That's what Karin asks with her neck clenched. I was the one who put my arms together for a moment and thought about it, but there was one place that came to mind first.

"I'm going to go to the Dragon's Nest. It's a great place to brush your arms because you don't have a problem with your training partner there, and you just need to be there to build your body."

……………………

Four people who, for some reason, cease to exist. The unexpected reaction puzzles me.

"La...... Lapis. A dragon's nest... that dragon's nest, right?

Return with a nod to the squeezing Siel's words.

"I don't know if there are any other dragon nests, but what I'm going to do is spiritual peaks in the middle of the continent."

As soon as they heard it, they gave a desperate look. Karin opens her mouth gently, Ciel holds her head, Rubias silences herself with a difficult face, and Dieria nods with her tummy.

"Oh, are you going to go there!?

"Could it be suicide..."

"Uhm... Should I say Master Boulder..."

"I'm getting a little stomachache... can I leave a message?

"No, no! If you want to be strong, you have to be somewhat impotent. It's okay! Because I would never let everyone die!

In contrast to me laughing soothingly, they looked like they were ready to die.
