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

- Futura point of view

Master Apulia ordered me to work in Zerbis, but I thought you said that the Lapis at the heart of the purpose had moved to the Empire of Sassa and Levre. I thought it would be a good idea to stay here in Zerbis, increase the number of pawns working with the Demons, and induce civil unrest, but if that's the case, it doesn't have to be me. I think there is nothing Apulia wants from me, and I dare you to be dangerous - that is, to focus on watching and raiding both Lapis.

Their range of action is amazingly wide, and they won't be able to catch up first if they travel on foot, but a powerful demon can use flying magic. I didn't struggle that much because I could use it without exception, but I had to fight strange people for it. While traveling to the Rebble Empire, I encountered people who clearly had a different atmosphere than both humans and demons.

If you're a concurrent person, it's a hassle to talk to, so you just smash them, but each of them feels equal or more powerful than me. Poor hands could be described as suicidal. I thought this was a getaway. It was one demon tribe that accompanied them that held me back. That's because he named the demon tribe that serves the demon king Piaggio and has explained that he is in a collaborative relationship with Master Apulia.

"Master Apulia and Piaggio joined hands? I'm not listening to you."

"It simply didn't seem worth explaining to you."

I thought I'd kill you. But he's also quite a powerful demon. It's bad to do it decently from the front. I decided to kill him within that, but now we should be adults.

"Anyway, that one is working with Lord Apulia. All you have to do is shut up and cooperate."

Although I was uncomfortable with the guy calling my lord that one, I decided to work with them for now.

Even if you say you'll cooperate, it's a non-combat aspect. Specifically, as a means of mobility, he told me to carry those strange people.

"Abominable, that brave brave... no, was it Lapis now? Anyway, I sent them out to kill them, but they ignored us and flew away to the Levre Empire. We must hurry and go after him."

He went out of his way to get far, but he ate his shoulder blush. I hate the guy from Lapis, but all this time I wanted to do was praise them. I use flying magic with that demon clan and hurry to the Rebble Empire. On the road, when I asked who the guys accompanying me were, I got an amazing answer. If you ask them, they say that humans and demons have merged and evolved into another creature. When was such technology available? Fusion between demons and humans...... do I get more power than ever by fusing with humans too? I'm interested, but the fear that I would be other than myself came first and I didn't want to practice it myself.

And finally, the capital of the Rebble Empire, we reached the imperial capital - and suddenly the castle collapsed. I didn't understand what had happened to the boulder, and I, the demons I had accompanied, just stood there without words. Who would expect a castle of that size to be destroyed all of a sudden? There is no such thing as a natural disaster that destroys only the castle. I mean, say there was some kind of attack. The guy who can do that is a demon tribe with pretty powerful powers. Demon King class or comparable bearer of power. Other than that I can think of......

"... a raid by Brave Brave?

The most likely one would be him. If it was a human being who imitated this, it must only be Lapis himself or the Archmage and the famous Solciere. And we followed the Lapis to this point. I'm pretty sure it was Lapis who did it first.

"Hey, what are we gonna do?"

"Dear Piaggio! Is Master Piaggio safe?

After a moment of rigidity, the demons who accompanied me rushed to the rubble heap like they were disturbed. Piaggio? Why is a demon king in a human castle like this supposed to be in demonic territory? I grab the devil's shoulder anyway.

"Hey, explain what's going on! Why is Piaggio here! Aren't you in Devil's Land?

"Shut up! Now's not the time! Help me, too!

I try to get the information out patiently, tongue-in-cheek at the guy who's totally losing his cool.

"I said I'd help, but I don't know who to help! Suppose the Demon King dies in such an attack in the first place!?

"Master Piaggio is merging with humans! That's why I've acquired unparalleled power, but at the price, I've become a body of the same strength as man! You can't die in an attack like this!

"The Demon King fuses with man..."?

It's hard to believe. But I guess it's true if you say that as many demons as he does will be disturbed. If what we're talking about is true, is that Piaggio lost his defense in exchange for his offense? Stupid...... Only by divine magic is man superior to the Demon Nation in its resilience. It's fascinating to get healing magic that can't be used by the Demons, but when your body becomes brittle, isn't it the end of the line? Piaggio did something stupid, too. I'm sure the power I got wasn't a big deal either - I was getting that high, but it wasn't.

"What is this..."

Piaggio looks back at me, the Emperor Levre.

"What are you...? Oh, is that what you're saying? That's the devil you heard from Apulia. You mean you came this far after Lapis? Thank you for your hard work. But that's wasted too. It is enough that these people are alone. You don't have to."

The purpose, Lapis and the others, was found not far from the Imperial City. with Piaggio, who was fighting Lapis. From Piaggio...... the power felt from the emperor was overwhelming. It doesn't even reach under the feet of the same demon clan. Naturally for me, even Dear Apulia, struggle will be a must. A lot of magic from all over my body is going to destroy my surroundings with it, and I can't feel any gaps from my standing behavior. It obviously surpasses Lapis when he fought me.

Well, if you can get all this power, it's an overwhelming force that makes you think that integration with humans isn't bad either. How can I say Lapis for this... there will be no more hitters.

- Lapis point of view

This is crazy. The situation sucks, clarity said. I'm in a hard state of standing with all my strength, and everyone is overwhelmed by the power I can feel from the emperor, and I've already lost my temper of war. I can't even get away with it. There's a bunch of demons rushing after us from the Imperial Capital to Omake, and even regular soldiers will rush to find the killer. Absolutely utterly utterly desperate. Total annihilation is inevitable as it is. Because... I have to stop and let everyone go. At that moment when I was ready and tried to open my mouth, Rubias began to whisper so as to control the tip of the plane.

"... Ciel. Take your master and run. If you just hold one and run, you can still figure it out. Karin and Dieria are... sorry, but I need you to hang out with me till the end. We'll stop them here."

Karin and Dieria agreed, grinning with a blue face, as they opened their eyes when they heard the words they hadn't anticipated.

"You can't help it. You can't run away with us, and you can't use magic. A warrior must be good for stopping."

"... If even Lapis is safe, humans can still fight the Demons. I'm scared, but I'll stay here."

"... sorry guys. Lapis, let's go."

"Hey, wait a minute! Don't take it personally!

No questions asked. Hold me and stop Ciel from trying to jump up into the sky. What are you talking about? Instead of stopping them, it's hard to buy time. Isn't that like letting him die? But what's returned is the voice of Ciel, arguably cold.

"Lapis, calm down. We can't all die here. Regrettably, Lapis is the only one of us who can fight that monster. Now it's best to let you survive. I kept my mouth shut about Lapis, but we've been making up our minds. Only Lapis, who is the hope of mankind, will be allowed to flee at any cost when we are unable to do so. Now is the time."

"That's not true...!

Again. Do I have to taste this feeling again? That's what happened 300 years ago. A lot of people sacrificed themselves to keep me, us brave parties alive. Do I have to have the same thoughts after 300 years!? I accidentally bite my lips off with remorse and impudence to myself. Even if the taste of blood overflowed my mouth, I didn't care about that at all.

"What are you talking about bumps? It's useless if you're even trying to escape. Who are you to let go from here? Give it up."

The emperor declared so and set up his sword. At the same time everyone moves.

"Go, Ciel! Master! Please, this world!

"Lapis! Whatever you do, survive!

"Thanks for everything!

Rubias, Karin, and Dieria, each prepared to die. At the same time, Ciel tries to lift me up into the sky. I was looking at it in a desperate mood, and that's when I heard voices I was used to hearing from above.

"- I'm sorry about the excitement, but I'm gonna let you help me out a little bit."

As soon as the head recognizes whose voice it is, a tremendous amount of magic falls to earth. Flames, water, wind, soil. The magic of outrageous power, composed of each of the four alleged elements, caused a whirlwind of death on earth. A storm of flames that leaves no dust. Running water that also crushes rocks. A blade of wind that cleaves everything. A pile of sharp rocks protruding heavenly high. Each attacked the emperor and surrounding demons with a clear intention to kill.

"Hmm!?

"Whoa!? This!?

The emperor, who was turning his attention to this one, is swallowed up by the flames, and the other demonic tribes disappear one after the other under direct magic. It was Sorciere who came down to us quickly to be disturbed.

"Solciere!"

"Talk later. I'm running away now. Get 'em all."

We hurriedly cling to the force, forgetting our readiness earlier. The next moment, we disappeared from the scene neglectfully.
