Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

The First Story: The End of the Hero

A day passed since the second summons.

Now he sits on a prison bed in the basement of the royal castle.

Is your head cold?

"... Yes. Sorry for the inconvenience."

Drop your head in a reflective tone toward the knight who has spoken from across the iron lattice.

Exhaling as relieved by this calm appearance, the knight said, "I will report to Your Majesty. You'll be out in a little while," he said, leaving from before he was imprisoned.

Sorry for the inconvenience, huh?

... Don't be ridiculous.

It is you kingdoms who say that.

While in prison, the knight who came asked me a lot.

Lewsas, who beat me to octopus, says he doesn't care about me again, so if I calm down, I'll get him out of jail as soon as I can.

Seems innocent because it extended to assault in summoned shock.

Well, you can't summon a brave man and execute him right away.

However, it was somewhat frivolous to beat him without knowing the situation.

The result is this cell.

He was murdered just before, so there's no choice.

"... as long as we can use magic, we can get out of this cell easily."

The effect of being killed once or the effect of being summoned twice?

For some reason, I couldn't use magic at all.

Even if it can release faint magic, it cannot transform it into a form of magic.

You can say that your power as a brave man has almost been lost.

This is how you're in jail, because you don't have enough power to break through.

Killing Luisas would also take a lot of work.

In addition to that, I also found that the appearance had changed.

She has lost muscle strength, shrunk height, and even changed the color of her hair.

Apparently, he's back to what he looked like when he was in high school before his first summons.

He's young in the face, and no one has to realize I'm the brave man I once was.

I couldn't use magic anymore, and I lost my muscle strength.

"Still..."

The knowledge, skills and experience I have acquired are well into my head.

A knight in line would crush it lightly.

There is as much to do.

"Luzas...... ugh"

I meditate my eyes, I indulge in anger, I remember.

The first time I was summoned to this world.

And the upside until my people betray me.

The first time I was summoned to this world was three years ago.

I was summoned by the kingdom, as I am now, to a place that was forgiving in the house.

"- Welcome, the valiant hall of the other world. Please, I want you to save this world from the Demon King."

Even then, if I noticed, I stood on a circle made of strange lines.

Ironically, the first thing I heard was the same word the first time and the second time.

And by an old man named King, he was asked to explain why he was here.

This is not like Earth, a world called Leitesia.

They are experiencing a peril by virtue of their being known as the Demon King.

"And my Onlin kingdom summoned brave men to kill the Demon King."

"... well..."

"That's right. It's you."

- Different worlds, brave men, demon kings.

A line of letters that will never seriously come out of your mouth in modern society.

To confusing heads, relentlessly tapping information.

"Do, Lord Brave. What's your name?"

The gaze to be directed, the apparently politically accustomed aura unleashed by the King.

The air on the field is so heavy that you can't speak of it even though it's just a situation you think you're kidding.

Amatsuki Iori.

As prompted, I uttered my own name, which I didn't like very much because I looked like a girl.

"Ahmama."

Only half.

Because of this sense of urgency, I chewed it grandly.

I don't know what else to do, I can't believe I'm standing in this mass, because it's been since my junior high school graduation.

"I see, Lord Amatsu."

No, it's not.

That is, I couldn't tell the boulder, and my name ended up settled in Amatsu.

Because at that time, it wasn't that time.

"Then Lord Amatsu... can you save the world from the Demon King?

As a matter of course, the king is about to move on.

"I don't want to fight," he exclaimed in a trembling voice, frustrated by the tone of ignoring any of this convenience.

Sixteen years old.

There was nothing I wanted to do in particular, and I've been flushed by people to live.

Even when my parents died in an accident, my uncle picked them up as they told me.

Still, because I thought it would be life-threatening to be flushed in this situation.

I want it back at home than that.

"It takes years to get back to the original world," he asked.

"In a few years, the kingdom will be destroyed by the demon king's army," he also threatened.

What do the people of this world expect from high school students who don't know anything about battles?

Thereafter, he dissolved, "There is no rush to conclude," and by the King's will he was to live in a room in the castle.

If you were gentle, you would change your mind - you could see such a lower heart clearly.

A life of confinement in a room, just eating food to be carried and sleeping.

The people in the castle have looked at themselves like that and cursed me for being a coward.

At that time, you thought many times. How flattering is your head?

Resolutely, I don't want to be a slave in the name of the brave.

That's what I thought at first.

But - the turning point came.

A radical faction has made an outrageous attempt not to fight and has launched a raid on my room.

I had hair in between.

If the woman on the street hadn't helped me, she would have been killed.

There should have been knights patrolling the castle.

But “it just so happens” that day, the knight on the patrol was skipping.

Those who raided were severely disposed of by the king.

The same goes for knights who had relinquished their duties.

The king said something about the matter.

"Unless Lord Amatsu fights as a brave man, the same thing could happen in the future."

In short, that raid meant the king was pulling the thread behind it.

Even though I knew it, I couldn't do anything about it.

"Four years. For four years, if only you could protect the kingdom, I promise you I will return you to your former world."

Previously, the King said:

Demon King army raids are getting intense year after year.

As it is, in the next three years, humans will be destroyed -.

In other words, "If you want to go back to the original world, defeat the Demon King," the King says.

If we don't fight like this, I could be killed by the King's hand.

Otherwise, if the kingdom is destroyed by the demon king, I cannot return to the original world.

"... ok"

Thus I, as usual, was to be flushed and thrown into an unwanted battle.

If I decided to fight, I could understand the wonder and the use of my own power.

Seal engraved on arms, a testament to bravery.

What it brought was superhuman physical abilities and overwhelming sorcery.

Using them, I fought as directed.

The effect of the force or her hair greyed and her height grew greatly.

After three months, he totally looked like someone else.

By that time, the world had begun to honor Iori by calling him "the hero Amatsu”.

Saving the world, Savior.

"Hey, hero."

I don't think about saving the world or being a savior at all.

This is only a battle for my return to the original world.

At first, that's what I thought.

That changed when six months went by.

"I'm Luisas. Let me help you defeat the Demon King's Army."

Combating the Demon King's Army will require collaboration with many humans.

Luisas, the sorcerer, was one of them.

"I have a sister. I'll make the world he wanted."

He's fighting to protect his loved ones, Lewsas said.

There's no way anyone wants to protect me from being flown into a world like this.

Still, I thought it would be awesome to say that and fight Luisas.

"I don't want to see my people get hurt any more. So, Amazu, I'll fight with you."

That's what Dionis, a sub youth called the "ghost tribe”, said.

The ghost tribe, which had always taken a neutral position, is also hated by both the human and demon king armies.

"I have to lead the ghost tribe. I'd do anything to protect my own people."

A sense of responsibility to fight for the family.

And a strong will to accomplish the mission.

Dionys had something I didn't have that was just being flushed.

As I fought with them and went, I found my inner self changing a little bit.

And -.

A woman who previously protected me from extremist attacks.

Meet Lucifina changed me a lot.

"My village is no longer involved in the battle between the Demon King Army and man.

And my parents, at that time. "

We have seen a lot of people wounded and dying in humans, demons, subhumans, and wars.

So I want to create a world where all races coexist, uncontested.

That's my dream, Lucifina said.

"With you, I believe I can do that."

Lucifina saved me many times.

He supported me many times when I was about to give up.

If you're a strong man, you'll be able to return to your former world.

She didn't make a weak noise even in the midst of a hard battle, and was pulled one by one by the way, trying gently to support her companions.

When I started fighting, all I thought about was going back to the original world.

But every time I continued my journey, my feelings changed.

I saw someone wounded in the war.

By the war, I saw a sub-man who had lost a loved one.

They killed my people, and I saw the demons crying.

Really, I've seen a lot of people get scratched in the war.

So I thought sincerely.

Lucifina said, I want to try to achieve a world without contention, -.

But even with the power of a hero, it wasn't an easy journey.

I was dying many times along the way and almost screwed up.

Still, I was able to keep fighting because these three people were there.

With support from the kingdom and other countries, we will fight the Demon King's Army.

The formation of the war was greatly reversed and gradually inclined towards the human side.

The end of the war is approaching the present.

Deepen with your people, and then just defeat the Demon King, who is the culprit of it all.

That's what I thought.

- There will be a final showdown, until that day.

When I was summoned, three years of the month passed.

All the labyrinths set up by the Demon King's Army in various countries were broken, and all the Four Heavenly Kings were defeated.

All that's left is the Demon King.

With the support of all nations, our party boarded the Castle of the Demon King.

For once, I'm crossing blades with the Demon King.

In the battle of that time, he had succeeded in weakening the Demon King.

Here's the operation.

Me and Lucifina will attract the Demon King in the avant-garde, and Dionis will support it.

And in the meantime, Lewsas boosts his magic and gives Todome to the Demon King with his maximum firepower sorcery.

If you do your best and throw everything you've ever cultivated, you can win this war.

Overcoming the trap, defeating the Demon Clan, and breaking through numerous difficulties, we advance through Demon King's Castle.

Though there was trouble with the human army that was supposed to follow us in and not come inside, the power of the party alone defeated the demons and said,

It was then that we reached the deepest part, the room of the Demon King, while preserving the magic of Lewsas.

"We can't let you through from here on out."

The last thing that stood in my way was just one demon clan.

The girl rocked her long silver-haired hair and had a strong sense of war in her golden eyes.

The magic you're enclosing while having a small body is unusual.

A face-to-face demon tribe with powerful powers that have bumped into each other more than once in previous battles.

That's when the girl first named herself.

"- Elphiszark Gildegard"

"... amatsu"

That's all I've ever spoken.

And the battle began.

The girl was strong.

Even we who have defeated the Four Heavens are struggling.

Every time you exercise witchcraft, the walls smash and cracks run on the floor.

Fight with the sword as avant-garde with Lucifina, with Dionis and Luzas providing support in the rear guard.

After a fierce death fight, it was the girl who got to her knees.

"My... you lose"

The girl, bleeding from all over her body and with her sword poked at her, murmured as if she had given up.

In order to end the fight, this girl must also be defeated.

It was when I turned to the girl and tried to wave my sword down.

"I wonder how this happened......

I just wanted to stop the fight. "

That was not a word directed at someone, but a self-derision directed at himself.

The power of the finger squeezing the pattern loosens slightly to that word that I wanted to stop the fight.

"You..."

This girl, who has bumped into each other many times, is not a quality demon who kills humans and rejoices.

Do you really need to kill me just because I'm a demon?

That question came to my mind, and I stopped moving.

"Kill him, Amatsu!"

"Do it fast!!"

From the screams of my people, they echo from behind.

Kill or not.

It was the moment I lowered the sword I was poking at, grinding and determined.

"-Ah?"

Zach, and a sharp impact ran on his right arm.

It was my arm that made the noise and fell to the ground.

"Ha... what, are you kidding me?"

The magic released from behind was cutting off my arm.

Blood bleeds out of the cross section of the fallen arm and is attacked by heat as if burnt iron had been pressed against it.

The girl in front of me was just staring at me.

"Absolutely, the sweetness of the teeth makes me vomit back."

It was Luisas, who was supposed to be one of them, who exercised the magic of slashing off his arms.

A magician who has used numerous sorceries and has supported his journey many times.

Standing up to defend the kingdom, reliable fellow.

"Well, that's how I was able to drop your arm?"

I feel the power of the brave man who lived in my right arm pouring down with my blood.

Power is lost from your body and you're about to fall off your knees.

"How... do"

"Don't you see? So far, I've already used you, brave man. If only I had a magical arm, I could kill the Demon King later."

"Say what... Say what?"

It was when I stretched out my remaining left arm in an attempt to join my chopped right arm with healing magic.

An accidental flying magic pierced my chest.

"Ohh..."

The feeling of vomiting creeping up, spitting it out by accident, it was bright red blood.

My own smell of iron spreads through the room.

"Bad forelife, Amatsu"

It was Dionys who attacked me and told me to throw up.

A ghost man who rose up to say that tyranny of the Demon King's Army was unacceptable while being a separate race from humans.

Reliable companion, using both sorcery and sword moves.

Why are these guys attacking me?

Are you even brainwashing the Demons?

I don't understand the situation.

"Luisas, I don't think Amato can swallow the situation."

Dionis scoffed at me for suppressing the wound.

"Oh, I don't have a choice. I'll tell you what, buddy. The hero Amatsu died in battle with the Demon King.

Defeat the demon king with the three remaining men, and we will mourn your death, but we will triumph over to the country as heroes.

Nice scenario, huh? "

Answering that, Luisas had an ugly look on his face more than he had ever seen before.

"Well, by the time you've weakened the Demon King and brought us here, your role is over."

At the same time as the summons, my right arm is filled with immense magic.

The brave man is the only one who uses his power to the fullest.

"Even if you don't have the power of a brave man, you can kill the Demon King by transferring magic to Luisas later.

Now, your role is over. [M] Do you understand? "

Three years.

My comrades on a long journey were trying to kill me with a mockery on their face.

"Why..."

My strength fell off my body, and I fell to the ground.

Ridiculous of its appearance as Guerraggera, Luzas and Dionis.

"Don't worry, Amatsu. I will inherit your will, and I will kill the Demon King!"

"Luci, Fina"

Ignore the voices of the deaf Lutherans and call on Lucifina.

The first woman in this world to be nice to me.

I just wanted to believe that Lucifina was one of mine.

"Mr. Amatsu."

To that call, Lucifina smiles gently, as usual.

"Leave the rest to us. Your role is over."

"Uh...?"

But his eyes were inorganic, and he hadn't seen Yi Wei.

"Wait...... Why? You promised...? When this battle is over, we'll make a world free of disputes."

"Heh, heh."

Lucifina lost her laughter in such a way that she couldn't stand it.

That's how I froze.

I was wondering if this guy really is that Lucifina.

"A world without dispute? Oh...... you really thought that. Save this world when you come from another world? Didn't you think it would be nice?"

"Is...?"

What are you talking about?

"Kuhaha! It's a masterpiece, Amatsu. I mean, I was only fighting with such a goal."

"Shouldn't I sleep and dream?"

I mock myself, my friends.

Is this really real?

Even if I want to believe it's a dream, my whole body aches poking at reality.

"I got the magic I needed. Lucifina, clean the rest of the cusp there."

"Bye, Amatsu. Sleep permanently and dream as much as you like."

To that word of Luisas, Lucifina waved a sword wrapped in sorcery.

Still, my legs move so hard.

But my heart was already broken.

"Goodbye -" Hero Amatsu ""

That's how Lucifina waved her sword down.

I was slashed by a tremendous amount of magic, and I broke through the wall and fell outside Demon King's Castle.

I don't feel any more pain.

Only the word that I was betrayed came to mind.

What the hell have you been all these days?

Those mocking eyes burn in the back of my brain and I can't leave.

"Chiku... Shit"

Was I wrong to want to end the dispute?

Was what I had done wrong?

I don't know anymore.

Disillusionment, and in intense hatred of my fellow citizens.

When I heard Gushari and something crumble, my consciousness turned dark.

This is the backdrop of the first summons.

It is the end of a brave man betrayed, mocked and killed by his companions.

Multiple footsteps echo with tips, tips, and.

When I opened my eyes and raised my gaze, the knight who went to report to the king was about to return.

The number of people has increased to five.

"Your Majesty calls for you."

Four knights turn their guard this way, and one knight opens the door to the cell using a bundle of keys.

Now it's sunny and free.

The restraint is not fitted, so you can escape as you please.

But I still don't imitate that.

Too much remains to be known to move into action.

I have lost my magic powers, and on the contrary, I have arms that should have been cut off.

Let's do some research before we act.

There's nothing to rush.

If you show an obedient attitude, you have as many opportunities as you can.

- Wait, Luisas.

Keeping my mouth shut that I was about to catch, I went out of jail.
