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

- Ciel point of view

Three hundred years ago. I heard and knew from myself that Lapis lived in the same time as Master Solciere and fought with them. So it shouldn't be surprising that Lapis has been involved with Dragon King in the past. But my prediction was that Dragon King was an incarnation of unreasonable violence and not such a calm conversational being. But I opened the lid and this is it. Lapis is smiling and talking to a monstrous opponent like a tremor coming from the core of his body just looking at him. Is it a nickname to say Estrella?

"And it's Estreya. You seem to be a little different from when you came here before. I understand that human beings are creatures that change in appearance when they grow older, but are they things that change so dramatically?

"No, well... there are a lot of things going on around there. I don't want you to worry too much."

I'm going to be a little awkward, Lapis. We don't know what it means, we just hang ourselves. The Dragon King - No, Tiamato continues to talk as if he had guessed something from that, or thought he didn't need to care, or nothing.

"So? What's the requirement you haven't seen your face in a long time? I'm guessing you're not here to warm up your old relationship, are you?

"I know it's predictable, but I'm here for all of us to train. I'm with Tiamato. My people are with Tiamato's men. I plan to stay for a month or so."

"Well... I thought they were just luggage holders, but they're your people now. You seem pretty weak for that."

A giant head approached us as we peeked in, and we accidentally took a couple of steps back. Just being approached. This power! Is Lapis going to fight this?

Nevertheless, no matter how much Dragon King you are, you insulted me as a luggage man. We've been through the training grounds many times. I've been fighting my life over and over. And you said you had luggage? You're gonna tell me! I accidentally lift my head and stare at the tea mats. Karin and Rubias and the others felt the same way, each with his harsh eyes on Tiamato. My body is still trembling, and it's no different to the fear that springs up from the bottom of my heart. But pushed them in in the mood, and I kept staring at the tea mats.

"Hmm...? They seem more comfortable than I thought. Are you saying that there are only Estrellas' friends? Interesting...... Serene"

"Yes."

When he appeared, on the side of Tiamato, who boasted a huge body, a woman stood. Two characteristic corners, burning red eyes. For a moment I thought I was a demon, but I can't feel anything evil in the signs she unleashes. Who the hell is that?

"Estreya has met before. Although this Serene is still immature, it is a promising future dragon that can be humanized. Let this man take care of his comrades."

"Thank you. So I'm gonna start training fast, okay?

"I don't mind. In what can be described as an infinite lifetime, the battle against you was an unbridled entertainment on this one. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed myself."

"This way, too. Well, I'll take care of my people."

Fight the Dragon King - if you're a normal human being, it's an act that leads directly to death. Yet I don't feel anything from Lapis. When she turned to Kurli and this one, as usual, she said this with ease, as if asking what she thought of the meal.

"That's why I'm going to hang out with Tiamato for a while. Everyone's over there. Follow Serene's instructions. You don't have to worry about anything because she's supposed to take care of your life and training here."

That's all I said and tried to walk away, so I call it off in a hurry.

"Lapis! Are you all right?

"It's okay. You're going to give me a break, so if I'm not too cautious, I'm going to die."

"Not so! I'm asking if Lapis herself is okay!

You didn't understand what I was saying, she was looking at me with a Kyotong face. Watching it like that makes me more and more angry. How many times does this girl have to tell you?

"I just saw that dragon suck. Even if we're a bunch, we're no match for each other. But to fight that, Lapis will be safe!?

"That's right! I know Lapis is strong, but the Dragon King seems stronger, doesn't he? Weapons aren't demon swords or holy swords, either, because they're impotent!

"Master. All this time, no matter how many masters are impotent. Dragon King doesn't even seem like a very human-winning opponent. It's too dangerous!

"Lapis! Sol warned me earlier! Don't fight the Dragon King! As much as the Spirit warns you!? Absolutely fucked up!

She waves in a bit of a hurry now that she realizes she was worried.

"Yes, I'm fine. This isn't the first time we've fought Tiamato, and we both know it in our hands. He's gonna get hurt somewhat, but he's not gonna die! Because I'm really fine!

"But..."

"Don't worry. My daughters."

It was unexpectedly the tiamato that could take Lapis' life that controlled us so excitedly stuffed.

"Estreya, whom you call Lapis, is a warring warrior who has fought me many times in the past. I'm not vulnerable enough to worry about you."

"So, but..."

"And Estreya is also a brave man who saved the human world in the past. It's not that easy."

"Oh, hey!

Lapis blocks the conversation like she's in a hurry. - What did Tiamato say now? Even though the sound my ears captured reached my head, I don't understand the content at all. It seemed like I wasn't the only one, and they all looked like they were frightened. The brave man who saved the world? There is only one brave man who has saved the world in the past. It's Brave. After saving the world, he was treated as a disturber and disappeared from the surface stage. But from the stories of the same era as Master Solciere's, it doesn't look like he's dead. But... you're telling me that's Lapis?

"Brave Brave... Lapis? Oh no..."

"No, but..."

"Then there are a few things I can be satisfied with…"

I guess Karin, Dieria, and Rubias have some of the parts that come to mind. It's like half-heartedness. If you ask me, Lapis' ability to fight is an unusual word. Strength and magic that doesn't even reach under your feet, such as regular people. Strength that doesn't even teeth vicious demons and dragons. A chig hug that knows something that should have been lost or vice versa. And being close to the legendary sorcerer, Lady Solciere. When I leave her, I remember what Lady Solciere was saying. - Hey, Lapis. If you want, you can put it back together. Now that I think about it, was that a word that was either changed or directed at a former companion? Because Tsujitsu fits.

But I don't want to believe it. My head is confused and I can't think together. Why didn't you tell me? Weren't we that trustworthy? Are you saying we've been fooled? How could he have changed his appearance or his name? I don't know...... I don't know! The legendary brave man we were dealing with easily? So we needed to work hard? If he went out on his own, wouldn't that have solved it? Didn't you even have to make a futile sacrifice, like Strom Kingdom? All those convenient ideas come to mind for me. We must have looked ugly thinking about that. When I lifted my face up haphazardly, Lapis' face, badly hurt, caught my eye.

"Ah... La, Lapis..."

"... sorry, guys. Shut up till now."

I have to say something. He - no, I was still remembering why she lived alone in the mountains and why Master Solciere had created a secret city that was out of anyone's sight. Brave, who said he saved the world but was rejected by the people he was supposed to have saved. A formerly brave man who ran out of places to go and was alone. We were trying to do the same thing to her as people once did!

"... Anyway, let's do my story again and focus on our own training now. … it is better to decide what to do in the future when you return"

"Ah... ma, wait!

Shortly after stopping, Lapis passed beside Tiamato and flew away further behind the temple. One person stands before us in a hurry to chase after us.

"Where are you going? I've decided to take care of you. I will not tolerate unsolicited behavior."

"So, but!

"No. If you really want to go, take me down and then go."

Usually - if it was a cool time, I would have followed Serene's instructions. If we didn't have to fight before the difference in strength that we could understand, we wouldn't have had a choice. But now...

"Get out of the way! I have to go after Lapis!

"You can't leave your current master alone! I will not forgive anyone if I disturb you!

"Don't interrupt me! You can't leave your wounded people alone!

"Guys, I'll do it!

Each one takes the weapon and refines the magic that is within him. Serene against is a cool face. Tiamato looks at us like that without being slight and doesn't even try to move from the spot. It's as if our attack didn't scratch as much as the hairs.

"... if you can't tell by mouth, you have to teach your body. I have no choice. So instead of saying hello, let me tell you the difference in strength between you and me."

As soon as I said that, I felt Serene's body swell up many times. But it doesn't actually make a difference. I just unleashed the magic and signs I was holding back, and I'm not even being targeted for killing. But I can't lose! In here!

"I'll go."

"Kill, disappear -"

Serene's appearance scratched out of sight. She shows her movements as if they were Lapis, before my eyes astonished, knocking down two men, Karin and Rubias, who were armed. The two could hardly defend themselves, bouncing off the ground and stopping moving. Now... Serene didn't even use weapons. Probably punched him with just simple arm strength. And you're telling me you two got hit!?

"Ku......! Sol! Help me!

"It's no use."

I've never seen Dieria's whole body covered in armor. But Serene punches a fist in her abdomen when she comes close so she doesn't have it in her eyes.

Fragments of armor splashed in shatters and Dieria, who completely let go of consciousness. When she falls down on the spot without force, she doesn't even move with Pickle like Karin or Rubias.... unbelievable. Serene isn't supposed to be serious or anything yet, but he says there's a difference in strength so far?

"You're the only one left. Do you really want to follow these instructions? Or do you, like your colleagues, attempt a futile resistance?

"-! Don't lick me! Flames!"

From the tip of my cane overflows the magic of the flames that I specialize in most. The fireball, unleashed with all the effort it could hold, approached Serene while distorting the surrounding view. This power that melts rocks too if hit directly. Even if it's a dragon, you shouldn't be sorry for free if you hit it. Serene doesn't even show a bare gesture to avoid even though she says it is. A flame that hits her straight and winds up. An incredible sight came into my sight staring at the flames without alarm.

"... quite powerful. A lower dragon would have done a lot of damage just with the current attack. But it doesn't work for me."

Serene walked out of the flames gently, as if nothing had happened. My Maximum Power Attack hasn't done any damage!

"Come on!"

"Stay asleep."

I heard Serene whispering in my ear as I tried to unleash magic again, knowing it was futile. At the same time, the entire body is struck by a strong impact. Without understanding what had been done, my consciousness rapidly drifted into darkness.

"Lapis..."

I shouldn't have left her alone right now. I completely let go of consciousness, cursing my impudence.
