Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

When I opened my eyes, a red-haired woman was peeking into my face.

"Huh!?"

"Geez!"

I wake up my body accidentally, and each other's foreheads bump into each other and become stuffy.

The pain made my consciousness clear and I realized I was in Karen's mansion.

"Ugh..."

... to the fact that Karen is the one holding her head down with tears.

Since then, I've recovered my labyrinth nucleus and Elphi's body.

I was running out of all the potions in my hand, forcing my body to move, but that's where the limit came in.

I fainted on the spot.

"I'm so glad you two are alive...!"

That's what Karen said in a trembling voice, shaking her red hair.

According to Karen's story, a soldier led by Karen brought us here.

As soon as the labyrinth stopped, a demon in a state of panic escaped outside the labyrinth.

Looks like Karen and the others who were waiting for it wiped it out and then stepped inside the labyrinth.

The poisonous marsh inside was apparently harmless because the labyrinth nucleus was gone.

The other traps weren't moving.

About half a day after the labyrinth stopped, we were rescued.

Then for more than two days, I was asleep.

So I remembered him.

"... right. Elfi is……?"

There is no such thing as Elfi in the room.

He was more shaken by Dionys than I was.

After the potion, he was avenging Dionys with me...

I don't think so.

"Mr. Elfi had fallen to overlap with Mr. Io"

"... so now?"

"I woke up half a day ago and now I'm eating"

... Oh, you look good.

"If you're from the village, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm calm now"

But it still looks like Dionis' raid has left several victims.

Two territories have been vandalized and are now undergoing reconstruction work, Karen said.

"... Really?"

"Don't look like that. It's because of Mr. Io and Mr. Elfi that we've done so much damage."

From Karen's face, saying so, I couldn't feel the same despair as before, even if I was tired.

"Thanks to both of you, my territory...... no, a lot of people have been saved. And it also removed the labyrinth that was threatening the empire... thank you so much"

To Karen bowing her head, stuck in words.

I just moved to get revenge.

I have no right to be thanked so far.

"... right. I took this back from the Merlin General."

"'Necessary Stone' …!"

Before I killed Dionis, I kept it well retrieved.

Take the stone Karen received and lay down your eyes.

"Since the labyrinth is gone, it may be too late to give it to you now..."

"No."

Karen shook her head and said.

"This stone is the crystal of the human will of our Rayford family: 'I want to protect my people'. Thank you for taking it back."

"Really?"

"But... well"

I shrugged as Karen hugged the stone I needed.

"You don't have to seal the labyrinth anymore."

Karen kneels like she lost her mind.

"Oh well... oh well..."

Polo and tears fall zero out of her eyes.

My parents are dying and I have to act as a lord.

I've been listening for a while to the whimpering of one woman freed from the burden.

◆

Flames are emitted.

The wreckage of a lined victim burns instantly.

I saw black smoke rising into the sky.

Dionis and the people who died by demons under his command.

And the women who were specimens by Dionis are being mourned.

…………

The people who were trapped in the crystals were already desperate.

Neither me nor Elfi could come up with a way to help them.

Years will have passed since they were locked up.

From the mouthfeel of Dionis, there are no more family, friends, and the village where he lived.

Wouldn't it just make them suffer extra where they were helped?

"... no"

That's selfish raw reason.

Nobody, didn't want to die.

I would have liked your help.

Dionis said I saved them, so I killed them all.

Do the people who were killed resent me?

I don't know.

All I could do was wish them a peaceful sleep.

"... excuse me"

Unexpectedly, he was called from behind.

Standing are strange women and girls.

"You freed my mother from the sailor, didn't you?"

………

One of the women made into a specimen was the mother of someone who lived in this village.

Apparently, the woman in front of her was away from the village before she fitted the demon king's army raid.

That's why only one person was saved.

"Thank you for saving my mother..."

I can bow my head to a woman.

…………

The girl next to the woman said as she grabbed the hem of my clothes.

"Thanks for helping my grandmother!"

In the blue sky, black smoke was rising.

Far, high.

◆

Three days have passed since I woke up at Karen's mansion.

In the meantime, Karen was looking for someone based on information from Dionis.

"If that's the case, he's running an orphanage in the diocese right now."

"... orphanage, is it"

"Yes, the map... it's around here"

At Karen's fingertips, there's the next subject of revenge.

That, too, you two.

As a couple, they live there.

"I hear you both used to be pretty good alchemists (alchemists). I hear you're like the Holy Parents, who are now raising unaccompanied children. Are you acquainted with Mr. Io?"

Holy parents, huh?

"... Yep. That's the place."

Yeah, I've known him for thirty years.

"I see.... but be careful there are weird rumors around here"

"Weird rumors...?"

It's just a rumor, just in case, Karen said.

"There have been several sightings of the hero Amatsu around here."

That was a completely unexpected word.

…………

"... ho"

Whatever would happen to you two, Karen grinned bitterly.

◆

Leaving Rayford territory, we were walking east.

"I was called to the Imperial Capital, but didn't I have to go?"

A few days ago, a use from the Emperor came to Rayford territory.

He wanted to see us at first sight after crusading the labyrinth.

"Gratitude is just a name, and they just ask me this anyway. It would be useless to just go."

So we politely turned it down.

Thanks to the good division on the part of the emperor, he is thus proceeding to his next destination, without being forced to hold off.

"Ham...... ham"

From next door, I can hear Elfi chewing.

I'm eating a hug hug because I painted a sauce and stabbed it on a skewer, whether it's roasted squid, octopus or shellfish.

I had eaten many of those since earlier and my hands and mouth were sauced and Vietnamese.

... dirty.

"... right. Which parts are back in the labyrinth?"

"Both legs."

Elfi answered as he slapped his pom pom and knee.

"So now you're going to have your head, arms and legs back"

"Mm-hmm. The rest is just the torso and the heart. What about that kind of weave?"

What Elfi is asking is about my magic.

I absorbed the third labyrinth nucleus.

"... to be honest, you're still a long way from the book"

More magic than ever before.

Is it roughly 40% of the total season?

Compared to when I couldn't use magic at all, it was pretty much better.

"... Hmm. Oh, yeah. So what was that elephant magic?"

"... is that it"

"Hero Reproduction (The Raise)".

It was a natural mind (phrase) that came to mind then.

I don't remember much of the details because I was so aggressive...

"Maybe... magic to recreate my powers back when I was a hero..."

I just thought I was being flushed and acting.

But thanks to Elfi's words, I knew it wasn't.

I felt like I wanted to help, and I was acting.

... It's also a little complicated to say that the mindset magic obtained as a result is a move to recreate that hero.

I don't want to be a brave man or a hero anymore.

"Can you still use it?"

"... that's subtle. There won't be anything unusable, but I don't feel like that time."

"Right. Well... Whatever it is, thanks to your mind and mind, I saved you. Thank you, Itsuki."

Stop your legs, Elfi's looking at me.

I took it from the front and opened my mouth, too.

"... I'm the one to thank."

When Elfi was solicited by Dionis, I wondered if I would be betrayed.

He also said his people would betray him and kill him.

But Elfi told me.

If it's enough to betray your people, he says it's better to die.

Besides, I could have used mindset magic because Elfi was there for me.

Without those words, I would have stayed desperate and given up everything.

So it's up to me to thank you.

"With Elfi here, I didn't have to give up. I could think it wasn't just being flushed. So, thanks."

"... heh, heh. Naturally."

Turn that way, Elfi arms himself with dignity.

"You said it before. It's up to you to decide if you can trust me."

"... um"

Dionis said.

He said it was strange for avengers to get used to each other.

Me too, I think.

Even though the purpose is the same, he said that it is only a lick of wounds, such as getting used to each other, who is betrayed.

Still.

"With you, I thought I could get revenge to the end."

So.

"- I trust you. Elphiszark"

It's late, Elfi laughs.

Although its face is dirty with a sauce of seafood skewers and it ruins everything.

Still, I think taking revenge on Dionys took me one step further.

- So.

Olivia, Dionis.

Now we can avenge the four of us.

But there are still many targets of revenge.

Using the mindset magic you've got, you'll be able to break through Lewsas "karma funeral.

Wait.

Kill the rest of the vengeful subjects as well.

- For me to move on.
