After passing through Jioral Kingdom’s border, we continued our journey traveling to

Buranikka, where humans and demons coexist.

I did a lot of things in Ranalitta, so we had to leave Jioral Kingdom for safety.

“Smell of rain getting stronger. Hurry, Keyaruga-sama.”

“Got it. We need to find a place to camp as soon as possible.”

Traveling in the rain really takes away your physical strength without mercy.

There’s no need to push ourselves so hard. We should take it easy, put up our tents
early and rest for the day.

“Keyaruga-sama, I want to ask something. When we arrive at the next city, would you
buy me a staff?”

“Ah, alright. There should be good staves being sold at Buranikka, so I’ll buy you a new
one. Is your current one broken?”

“Yes, it seems my staff gets damaged when I use my full power. My current staff isn’t
broken, but it’s at the limit.”

“That’s no good. It’ll be troublesome if Freia’s magic goes out of control.”

Well, the problem is that the Magic Hero is trying to use a normal staff.

When I escaped from the castle with her, I wasn’t able to take princess Flare’s special
staff, so what she has now is something I bought at a random shop.

A half baked staff would just break again soon. I want to somehow get a good staff. I’ll
buy the best one I find, and improve it with my alchemy knowledge and skills.

It would take too much time to make one from scratch, but it wouldn’t take too long to
improve one.

“Can you lend me your current staff? I should be able to at least do some temporary
repairs.”

“As expected of Keyaruga-sama!”

Freia gave me her staff and I checked it. This is really bad. If she continues to use it, it
may go off.

Let’s do some quick and simple repairs.

Freia mentioning a staff reminded me of something.

I need a weapon too. I want a Divine Arms.

Divine Arms are the most powerful and supreme weapons that only Heroes can
handle.

The word Divine isn’t just for show. It literally wasn’t made by human hands.

Just as there can only be 10 Heroes at once, there can only be 10 Divine Arms at once.

They have been handed down since ancient times and have been carefully preserved.

It looks like a jewel, but the moment a Hero holds it in their hands, a contract is made
and it changes into a shape suited to the Hero.

In the first world, the Sword Hero, Gun Hero and Magic Hero had Divine Arms, but not
me. That wasn’t just for harassment. It’s just that Jioral Kingdom and the other
countries it controls only had three.

A two-handed sword decorated with jewels, the Divine Sword Ragnarok.

The silver cannon that spits out magic power like bullets, the Holy Cannon Taslam.

And the Divine Staff Vanargand, made of the World Tree.

All of them are extremely powerful weapons. If I were to get my hands on a Divine
Arms, what kind of weapon would I get?

“Freia, Setsuna, what kind of weapon do you think suits me?”

I asked them on a whim.

I can’t think what kind of weapon would be suitable for me, so I wanted to hear the
opinions of people close to me.

“Keyaruga-sama should use sword.”

“Yes, I think a light, single edged sword that’s not heavy, is easy to handle and
emphasizes sharpness would suit you best.”

Their responses weren’t interesting at all.

Because I used Imitation Heal on the Sword Saint’s abilities, I use a sword as my
primary weapon, which is probably why their impression is so strong.

But that’s just a borrowed skill. It’s far from my true nature.

A Healer should normally have a staff.

Magic can be used without a staff, but without it, it’s difficult to converge the magic
power and the formula can be easily distorted.

As a result, the speed of deployment, accuracy and efficiency of the spell is reduced.

“Thanks, that was helpful.”

For now, I’ll just thank them.

There’s no point in me acting like a normal Healer when I have an abnormal Heal and
my focus is on copying other people’s abilities with Imitation Heal.

That makes me even more curious about the Divine Arms. When you make a contract
with the Divine Arms, it turns into the form that is most suitable for the user at the
time. I want to see what kind of weapon is most suited to me.
As far as I can think of, there’s only two ways to get the Divine Arms.

One is to sneak into Jioral castle and take the one stored in the treasury. I know that
Jioral only has one Divine Arms jewel.

Princess Flare had yet to make a contract with it, so it’s still blank. If I can get it, I’d be
able to make a contract with it.

The second option is to take it from another Hero. In that case, I’d need to kill the
owner.

As long as the owner is alive, the Divine Arms won’t return to being a jewel.

I don’t know if the Gun Hero has his Divine Arms at this time, but the Sword Hero
definitely has hers.

If the opportunity for revenge comes, I’ll kill her and take it.

Please, let that lesbian bitch be a shit person in this world as well. It’s my policy to not
take revenge unless they harm me in this world.

No matter how much of a trash person they were in the previous world, it would make
me look bad if I killed them in this world if they weren’t trash yet.

…Well, I doubt those trash would suddenly become proper human beings in this
second world. I’ll get my chance to take revenge sooner or later.

“Keyaruga-sama looks like thinking of something bad.”

“It’s not a bad thing, it’s a wonderful thing.”

There’s a little bonus to my revenge this time. I didn’t expect the Sword Hero to be
such a nice woman. She not only gives me the opportunity to take revenge, but also
brings me the best weapon as a gift.

After I gather information about the Demon Lord in Buranikka, let’s follow the steps
of the Sword Hero.

Somewhere in this world, that lesbian bitch is probably fishing for women while
pretending to be a man, the gender she hates.
It started raining just as we finished setting up our tent in a clearing in the forest.

“Good work, Setsuna. We made it in time because Setsuna warned us.”

“Un, Ice Wolves have sharp senses. No problem.”

Setsuna sniffs with pride. I patted her head and she closed her eyes with a happy
expression.

“Anyway, it really is raining a lot. We can’t even leave the tent like this.”

“True. It’s hard because we also can’t use fire.”

Even when we’re camping out, I work hard to make sure we eat delicious food, but we
can’t use fire inside the tent.

There’s no choice but to nibble on the hard-baked bread and dried meat.

“Freia, give me some water.”

“Yes, here you go.”

Freia creates water with magic and then pours it into a flask, then she pours the water
from the flask into a cup for me.

Thanks to Freia, who can use magic of all attributes, our trip is much easier. We can
always get clean water and it’s easy to start a fire.

“Keyaruga-sama, something curious about. Jioral Kingdom should be most south

country facing the demon territory. So why is city more south than Jioral Kingdom?”

Setsuna’s question is quite reasonable.

“To tell the truth, Buranikka is a city that was abandoned long ago.”

“Abandoned?”

“In the past, the southern part of the current Jioral Kingdom territory wasn’t unified.
There were many small countries and even demi-human villages too. At that time,
there was an attack by the demons. The humans formed a line of defense. That was
the previous position of Jioral Kingdom’s border.”

“You mean they had no intention of defending cities outside their borders from the
beginning?”

“That’s right. Well, that’s how they prepared a defensive line and repelled the demon’s
attack. After that, all the countries that were scattered about were absorbed by Jioral
Kingdom by force, and so the southern part now belonged to Jioral Kingdom. But
recently, it was found out that Buranikka, in the other side of the border, is safe and
that the humans are coexisting with the demons.”

Because of that, all of the southern countries were absorbed into Jioral Kingdom.
Regardless of that, Buranikka still remains standing as the last part of Buranta Empire.

Even after it was found out that Buranikka is still safe, Jioral Kingdom has a hard time
putting its hands on it.

“It’s a bit complicated.”

“But that’s why it’s so interesting. We don’t know much about demons, including me.
If we go to Buranikka, where humans and demons coexist, we will learn a lot.”

In particular, I want to know how the Demon Lord is chosen.

The Demon Lord I fell in love with at first sight in the first world… I want to meet that
silver-haired fallen angel again.

So I’ll be following her traces. It’s a longshot, but there’s no better place to start than
here.

“Looking forward to it. Also heard there lots of strong monsters in demon territory.
Defeat lots and increase level. Setsuna will become stronger. Want to reach Keyaruga-
sama’s level.”

Setsuna made a fist to show her determination. I like that kind of attitude.

“Of course, I’ll do the same! For Keyaruga-sama’s journey of justice, we must do our
best!”
Freia also seems to be very motivated.

“I’m counting on both of you. There are many dangers in demon territory, but we can
use this chance to become overwhelmingly strong.”

As Setsuna said, the number and strength of the monsters here are vastly different
from inside other countries. Above all, there’s a lot of variety.

For us, who can increase our talents by purifying and eating monsters, it’s great that
we can find a great variety of them.

Let’s defeat many monsters, raise our levels, eat many monsters, and become stronger.

But it’s raining. Monster hunting will have to start tomorrow.

“Keyaruga-sama, can’t go out in this rain. So… make love.”

Setsuna leans against me while trying to seduce me.

“Ah, Setsuna-chan is being sneaky. I want it too.”

Freia grabs my hand.

“It can’t be helped. I’ll do both of you all day long.”

They’re my cute pets.

I’ll pamper them to my heart’s content.

In the morning, when I left the tent, it was sunny.

That’s good. It would be bad to waste another day holed up in the tent.

In the worst case scenario, I had prepared myself to travel in the rain, but this way,
we’ll be able to reach Buranikka by the end of the day.

“Keyaruga-sama, good morning.”

Setsuna came out of the tent in her underwear.

Probably because she had just woken up, her white wolf ears were lying flat on her
head. That was cute.

“Good morning, Setsuna. The weather is looking good.”

“Un, won’t rain today. Sun out the whole time.”

Setsuna says while sniffing the air. That’s good to know.

“Then, after we finish the morning training, let’s go hunt some monsters, take a bath
and head to Buranikka. I want to hunt all the monsters in the area.”

Only the first monster of the kind you purify and eat will increase your talent values.
If I’m aiming to be the strongest, I can’t waste even a single kind.

So I’ll have Freia use her search magic in this whole area and hunt all kinds of
monsters.

“Got it… but first morning service. Keyaruga-sama still fine after everything
yesterday.”
“That I am. I’d feel bad if we woke up Freia, so let’s do it outside. Put your hands on
that tree.”

“Embarrassing when still bright.”

Even though she’s blushing, Setsuna nods and puts her hands on the tree and sticks
out her ass.

She says it’s embarrassing, but Setsuna gets more excited when we do it outside. Even
her fluffy tail is wagging right now.

“Even though you say it’s embarrassing, your body is honest. I’ll fuck you so much that
your mouth will become honest as well.”

When I whispered that in Setsuna’s ear, her wolf ears twitched and her tail swayed
even more.

She’s really easy to understand. Now then, let’s increase Setsuna’s level cap today as
well.

When I put my hands on Setsuna’s underwear, it was already soaking wet. When I put
my finger inside her, she was not only wet but also very hot.

Looks like foreplay won’t be needed.

I pull out my dick. It was feeling so tight in my pants that it was starting to hurt. It got
like this because I got to see Setsuna’s lasciviousness.

I grabbed Setsuna’s slender waist and slammed into her all at once. To the point that
my hips were pressed against her ass.

“N, nn~ Keyaruga-sama, sudden~”

“Setsuna likes it better that way, don’t you?”

When I whispered in her ear, the inner walls of Setsuna’s pussy began to wriggle and
try to squeeze me more. I began to move my hips back and forward.

Setsuna begins to moan louder. And of course, that makes me fuck her harder.
Fucking a woman from behind while she’s sticking out her ass really fulfils a man’s
desire to conquer. Even more so if it’s a beautiful woman.

My movements naturally become stronger and more violent.

This is forceful animalistic sex with all my strength.

“An! Keyaruga-sama, can’t, legs, no strength.”

Setsuna begs me to move slower with a mix of crying and cumming on her face.

Setsuna was about to collapse as her legs had their strength drained out.

I lifted her small body and made her face me while I was still inside her.

Setsuna pressed her lips against mine, so I pushed my tongue in and violated her
mouth. I never stopped moving my hips.

I pressed Setsuna’s back against the tree and gave her a final thrust will everything I
had.
“Ah-! Nnnnn~”

Setsuna came. Her walls pulsated violently, making me reach my limit. I let out my cum
at her deepest point.

When I pull out, lots of cum spills out.

I slowly lower Setsuna to the ground. Setsuna looks at me with a blank expression.

“Wasting Keyaruga-sama’s semen. Give Setsuna.”

After saying that, she begins to suck and lick my dick, trying to clean it.

It was so erotic that I got an erection again.

“Because of Setsuna, I got hard again.”

After I said that, Setsuna’s mouth began to move faster. It seems she plans to deal with
it like this.

Her intentions are good, but this is not enough. I grab Setsuna’s head and then begin
to move it back and forward roughly and violently, as if she’s just a tool to give me
pleasure. And I make sure to shove it deep down her throat.

Setsuna’s mouth feels good.

It must be painful for her, but her juices are overflowing from her crotch and her tail
is wagging happily. Setsuna gets excited when she’s treated like this.

I cum again inside Setsuna’s mouth. Setsuna licks every last drop and swallows it all.

After swallowing my cum, Setsuna keeps sucking me for a while, as if she’s reluctant
to leave anything behind or regretting that she chose to give me a blowjob, but her
mouth eventually lets go of my dick.

“Keyaruga-sama, morning service felt good today as well.”

“I felt good too. I’ll ask you again tomorrow.”

“Un. Do best.”
This girl is truly devoted and worthy of being my toy.

After the morning service was over, I watched Setsuna teach Freia some self-defense
while I prepared breakfast.

In addition to serving me, Setsuna’s morning routine includes teaching Freia self-
defense.

Since last night’s dinner was tasteless, I want to make a delicious breakfast today.

Still, Setsuna really is a good teacher.

Setsuna is a demon of hard work. While she does have natural combat instincts, the
foundation of it lies in her constant practice.

She’s guiding Freia with great precision.

“Setsuna-chan, you’re a little too strict. I can’t, I’ve reached my limit.”

“Not true, with your strength, can do at least this much. Freia just incompetent. Beat
you into shape.”

“No way, you’re actually going to kill me.”

Freia’s eyes were actually getting teary.

It looks like they’re practicing swordsmanship now.

From a while ago, Setsuna has been one-sidedly beating Freia with a wooden sword.

“Don’t close eyes. Every time you do, get hit for longer.”

“Hiiiiii!”

According to Setsuna, this is the stage before the basics. She said it’s a special training
to make the body remember the fear of death.

She stops the blow just before hitting the vital point with serious killing intent.
Many deadly blows are delivered one after another in a single breath.

Even though she stops just before she hits, an expert like Setsuna can make the
opponent feel death all the same.

In fact, Freia’s teeth were rattling. But the fear of being so close to death will make her
mind engrave Setsuna’s beautiful swordsmanship even if she doesn’t want to, and
she’ll learn the basics of swordsmanship just by keeping her eyes peeled on the target.

It’s a very efficient training. And…

“It hyurt!”

Freia screamed. Setsuna doesn’t always stop, and sometimes she hits Freia.

But that’s not because Setsuna failed to stop the attack.

Sometimes, instead of a lethal blow, it’s an attack just moderate enough that Freia can
stop it, so Setsuna doesn’t stop it.

Because of this, Freia has to remain on her guard against all attacks.

Both her mental and physical strength are being drained. After about 15 minutes,
Setsuna stops attacking.

“This ends practice. After short break, practice form. After that, go running. What Freia
lacks most is stamina and guts.”

Freia kneels down on the spot and looks at me with teary eyes.

“Please save me, Keyaruga-sama. This isn’t training, it’s bullying. I’ll be killed.”

She probably got some combat training back when she was still princess Flare, but
since her main method of attacking is magic she probably didn’t do anything serious.
I know it’s hard, but this training is necessary.

“No, as Setsuna said, this is designed thinking of what Freia’s physical strength can do.
Freia, the first ones to die in the battlefield are the ones who can no longer run. The
harder you work now, the less likely you are to die later. There’s no better teacher than
Setsuna. I know it’s hard, but I want you to do your best.”
“Uuu, then please be a little more gentle.”

“If you want, I can switch places with Setsuna. But I think I’ll be tougher than her. You
won’t get any better unless you push your limits, and I can’t find your limits as well as
Setsuna. In that case, I’d have no choice but to be tougher.”

Freia looked like her world was crumbling down.

It can’t be helped, rather than the whip, let’s give her some candy.

“If you work hard enough until Setsuna recognizes you as first-class, I’ll prepare an
amazing reward for Freia. So try hard just a bit more.”

Hearing my words, Freia’s face lit up.

“Unfair. Setsuna also working hard.”

In contrast, Setsuna looked sullen.

It’s no wonder. Setsuna is doing her best to make Freia learn self-defense, as well as
strength and perseverance.

“Of course, when Freia finishes her lessons, Setsuna will also be rewarded.”

“Got it! Will thoroughly train Freia.”

Setsuna clenches her small fist. I’m glad she’s happy.

“Setsuna-chan, let’s both do our best.”

“Un. Goal is three months.”

“…Isn’t that too long? If possible, let’s make it within a week.”

“Freia will finish in week? To get that, need to train thousand times harder than now.
Die 99 of 100 times. If you fine, try it. Fine?”

Setsuna says without hesitation. It has a strange persuasiveness behind it.

Setsuna had already been taking care of Freia so she’d grow the most in the shortest
time possible. If she says it’ll take three months, she’s probably right.

“Three months is fine. I will definitely graduate in three months!”

At any rate, I’m glad she’s willing to do it.

The training continued after that. Once they were done with their training, I served
them some warm food for breakfast.

Setsuna was sprinting through the forest.

She had been running with Freia until just a few minutes ago, but it seems she still has
a lot of stamina. She’s not even out of breath.

She jumped high and landed on the branch of a large tree, and then she jumped further,
from branch to branch, in a three-dimensional high speed movement.

The speed of her movements and the springiness of her whole body was amazing. But
what’s most amazing is her sense of balance.

She makes big leaps, making her small body soar in the air at a tremendous height.

An amazing moonsault. With that same momentum, she falls headfirst to the ground.
On her hands are ice claws.

She falls straight down with her arms outstretched.

It was such a beautiful sight I couldn’t help but admire it.

“Guga?”

Setsuna’s target, a speckled bear monster, noticed the sound and began shaking its
head to look for her. But she was directly above it, so there was no way it would notice
her.

Fat Bear.

A monster with a double layer of protection made up of its thick fat armor and hard
fur that is soaked with fat, making the attacks slip.

Even a top-class swordsman can’t kill that thing.

But…

“Haa!”

Setsuna thrust her ice claws at it while she was yelling.

A thrust straight down from directly above, the hardest attack to parry, was delivered
straight to the crown of its head, which is thin in fat and fur.

The ice claws pierced deeply.

Removing her ice claws, Setsuna kills the force of her fall with a forward roll and glares
at the Fat Bear with weariness.

“Keyaruga-sama, success.”

Heading our way, Setsuna makes a victory sign. The Fat Bear, priced through the brain,
collapses.

“Good job, Setsuna.”

It was a brilliant move. Even I can’t copy that. Even if I could imitate her technique, my
body isn’t as flexible and springy as Setsuna’s, and I don’t have her superhuman sense
of balance. Only she can pull off such an acrobatic move.

“Keyaruga-sama, is it compatible ingredient?”

To reply to Setsuna’s question, I activate my Jade Eye. The all seeing eye given to me
by the spirit.

I look at the Fat Bear. Yes, this is good. By eating this, our talent for physical attack will
increase.

“Yes. Can I leave the cutting of the meat to you?”

“Okay, cut it.”

Setsuna skillfully freezes the greasy fur, then she crushes it and peels it, slicing the
neck with an ice sword.

Then, she stomps down with all her might on the spot where the Fat Bear’s heart is
located. The heart pumps the blood, which then spurts out from the open neck. She’s
draining the blood.

Draining the blood as soon as you hunt the meat makes it taste better.

“Looking forward to Keyaruga-sama’s cooking.”

“I’ll be able to buy all kinds of seasonings in the city for today’s dinner, so I can make
it delicious. You won’t regret looking forward to it.”

Setsuna nodded and accurately cut the meat. Being a wolf demi-human, she loves meat
and her tail is wagging in a good mood.

Freia, who was riding the raptor behind me, taps me on the shoulder.

“Keyaruga-sama, a new monster has appeared 200 meters to the west. Judging from
the shape, I think it’s a boar monster.”

Freia calls out to me, seeming out of breath.

Freia had already exhausted her stamina from the morning training.

I could use Heal and make her go back to normal immediately, but it’s important for
her to get used to being tired, so I’ll leave her be.

That’s why I’m leaving her to use the search magic while Setsuna and I take care of the
hunting.

The higher her level goes, the more Setsuna shines.

Usually, it’d be hard to handle if your physical ability suddenly increased. No matter
how fast you can move your body, it’s meaningless if you can’t control it.

Even if your physical abilities increase, the reflexes, dynamic visions and brain
processing speed needed to make use of it won’t increase.
But, no matter how much Setsuna’s physical abilities improve, she seems to be able to
handle it. No doubt because she’s a genius.

“I could fight as well, normally.”

Freia seemed a little frustrated.

“Freia can join the fight once you recover a little. This is also a good chance to learn
how to fight when you’re on the edge.”

“Yes, I’ll build up my strength.”

And so we continued to hunt monsters nearby.

We got three kinds of food that we can eat to get stronger.

We wrapped the Fat Bear meat, which we’re going to eat soon, in tree bark and smoked
the rest.

After we finished hunting, we took a bath, I gave both of them some love and then we
headed to Buranikka.

“We’re finally here.”

“Is this Buranikka? It looks like a normal city from the outside.”

“Un, much smaller than Ranalitta.”

We reached Buranikka before sunset.

Buranikka is a medium-sized city.

It’s surrounded by a protective wall, but its height and thickness are much less than
Ranalitta’s.

There’s no line at the gate, so it seems we can easily enter.

Since this is demon territory, I was prepared for something like corpses scattered
outside the wall… but there’s none of that.

“Now then, let’s head inside. To Buranikka, the only city where humans and demons
coexist.”

We reached the gate, paid the toll to the gatekeeper and, just as we’re about to step
inside, I feel my heart pounding.

One of the abilities I got after such a long and miserable life is a sort of sixth sense. It
always tells me when something critical is about to happen.

When I feel this, it means that trouble is definitely coming.

“Keyaruga-sama, smiling.”

Setsuna tilted her head curiously.

“It’s nothing, nothing.”

Until before, a troublesome thing was just that, trouble.

But now it’s different.

Trouble is the sign for the beginning of a fun revenge game.

We stepped into Buranikka. The guards at the gate were human.

Setsuna spotted a monster inside the city and got ready to fight, but I put my hand in
front of her to stop her.

“Monsters walking about in this city are normal. They are monsters controlled by the
demons that live here. It’ll only cause trouble for us if you mess with them.”

There was a large dog-like monster with ferocious-looking fangs and rocky skin, and
behind it was a demon with dog-like ears.

Probably the pet and owner.

“Keyaruga-sama, if attacked…”

“Then we fight back.”

“Got it… but losing first move is scary.”

I understand Setsuna’s concern, but that’s just the way it has to be.

Even though that thing is a monster, it’s also a good pet. We can’t attack it just because
it might bite us.

I turned to Freia, who was restlessly looking around her surroundings.

“Keyaruga-sama, this is a strange city.”

“I agree. It’s just like I’ve heard.”

We’re currently walking through a section where the shops are clustered together and
the shopkeepers are yelling to attract customers.

Gold and silver coins are being used here exactly as they are in any other store. That
means currency is accepted here, which also means the city is being managed by
human values.

While looking around the shopping district to get ingredients for dinner and research
the city, I found a store that had some good vegetables.

“Uncle, can you give me this and that?”

I bought the vegetables I saw at the store.

When you observe the vegetables, you can generally tell the condition of the land. They
are fresh and are growing quite large, and it seems there have been few insect
infestations.

It seems they are making efforts to not only increase the production of the vegetables,
but also make them delicious.

The fact that people can put in the effort not only to make something to eat, but also
something that tastes good shows that this is a peaceful and prosperous city.

“Sure thing. I’m quite envious that you have two beauties accompanying you, so I’ll
give you some extra. It’s not for you, brother, but for the girls with you.”

“Thank you. It helps because they really eat a lot.”

This conversation just now revealed something to me: there’s no discrimination

against demi-humans here.

He praised not just Freia, but also Setsuna.

Judging from this man’s looks, it’s not just flattery and he really means it.

…Surprisingly, even though this city is in demon territory and has demons living in it,
it’s peaceful and prosperous. And it’s even an ideal city that doesn’t discriminate
against demi-humans.

“Keyaruga-sama, it’s great that we were able to get some extra vegetables.”
“Delicious-looking vegetables. Looking forward to dinner.”

“Good thing you’re both beautiful girls. Let’s use plenty of these in today’s bear pot.”

With vegetables this good, the bear pot will turn out much tastier.

After that, we went to a store and brought seasonings unique to this city.

The miso is made from fermenting soybeans. I was allowed to taste some of it and it
tasted really good.

If I divide this with the broth, I’ll be able to get some nice bear pot.

“?!”

I passed by a male demon.

He was a humanoid demon about two meters talls and with bull horns and purple
skin. He was accompanied by a bull monster.

That’s the Mad Cow race. They are considered one of the most dangerous races
amongst the demons.

The one here right now is a small monster, but on the battlefield, they can control a
super-sized bull monster.

They can control a whole herd of these tough bulls that charge forward with incredible
speed and power, and the demons themselves have incredible toughness and strength
that’s unmatched by humans.

Even the strongest walls are powerless before their assault. They can easily knock
away the defending knights, break down the castle walls and make way for the demons
behind them.

One of the most feared of all demons was shopping in a human store with a smiling
face.

I knew this beforehand, but it’s still surprising to see with my own eyes.

We finished our shopping and headed for the inn.

The owner of the store I brought the vegetables recommended this inn to me. I was
surprised that the owner was also a demon.

We unloaded our luggage in the room we rented and began chatting.

“Humans and demons really do coexist in this city, huh.”

I only knew this city from rumors, but I had my suspicions that the coexistence was in
name only and that the demons actually ruled this place. But it was all blown away in
an instant.

“Yes, I was also surprised to see demons shopping and even managing an inn.”

“They are demons, but good people.”

Setsuna’s cheeks are puffed up.

It’s not because she’s angry, it’s because she received a piece of fruit and is holding it
in her mouth. The innkeeper gave Setsuna a fruit that had formed badly and couldn’t
be served at the tavern.

“They really are good people. When I asked to borrow the kitchen, they said they’d
cook with the ingredients I brought.”

That’s quite a nice service.

The meat has already been purified so it doesn’t matter who does the cooking. In that
case, it’s better to leave it for the professionals than to cook it myself.

After chatting for a while, we headed to the tavern inside the inn.

We arrived at the tavern. Humans and demons were laughing and drinking together.
It seems all the seats are full.

“I’m sorry, dear guests, but there are no seats available. Would you mind sharing a
table?”

The waiter asked apologetically.

I nodded and then he went to check in with the customers ahead of us.

There are two people drinking at a table for six. They are both middle-aged men. I
could tell from the atmosphere around them that they were merchants.

“Please, come this way.”

The waiter showed us to the table.

“Sorry for having to share the table.”

“It’s fine. The food here is good and cheap, so it’s always like this. The reason why we
can keep our prices low is because we have lots of customers. I can’t complain about
sharing a table.”

The merchant was already drunk and in a good mood.

I looked at the merchant more closely and noticed it was the owner of the store I
bought the vegetables from.

“Huh, it’s just like Yuusura said. Nii-chan’s companions are real beauties. If I can have
a drink with beautiful women, I’ll happily welcome anyone.”

This again. Looks like there are many advantages in life for beautiful girls.

“Freia, pour him a drink.”

“Yes, Keyaruga-sama… here you go.”

“Thanks for that.”

I ordered Freia to pour them a drink.

I want them to tell me lots of stories, so let’s let them drink well first.

“Waiter, please bring me five of your most recommended drinks, two are for them.”
“Ooh, nii-chan, are you buying me something?”

“This must also be fate. Please tell me a lot about your story. I just came to this city, so
there’s lots I don’t know.”

I smile with a friendly face.

Keyaruga’s face is made in such a way that it’s easy for people to like me. That way, it
makes it easier to gather information.

“You’re very generous, nii-chan. I’ll gratefully take it. Alright, as a senior citizen of this
city, I’ll teach you lots of things.”

What luck. Old merchants are the best source of information. I’m grateful to be able to
get information from them in a natural way.

“I had heard that people in this city coexist with demons, but I never expected to be
drinking at the same tavern.”

“It’s not like we had this kind of relationship from the beginning. I was there at the
start. 10 years ago, this city was abandoned. I thought it was going to be a hopeless
battle, but the lord negotiated with the demons. Back then, I thought it was amazing.”

So the coexistence was proposed by the humans?

The lord must not have been in his right mind.

“So the demons accepted that?”

“Yeah. It was tough at first, but the more we talked, the more we realized that, even
though they aren’t human, they are also people. Since they’re also people, we can work
together. We help each other, give in to each other, and work together to get a better
life.”

Under those words is the value that humans are just another race, like demons and
demi-humans.

I can’t even imagine how much time and experience it takes for such values to take
root.
“So the demons are helping…?”

“The demons are amazing. Cultivation that would normally take humans an entire
year can be done by demons in just a week with the help of monsters. There’s also a
bunch of types of demon magic that can be used for agriculture, industry and
brewing.”

I see, so they are benefiting from the provision of labor and magic.

No wonder this city is so prosperous.

“And how do the demons profit?”

“The demons didn’t have any culture. They didn’t know how to raise good vegetables,
how to raise livestock, how to make wine, how to cook, music, theater and many other
things that stimulate the heart. In exchange for providing labor, the demons can now
enjoy human culture.”

“It’s a wonderful relationship.”

“Also, humans provide food for the monsters.”

I unintentionally raised my eyebrows.

Monsters prefer creatures with magic power. That’s why they attack and devour
humans and demi-humans.

Could they be feeding on the humans of this city? Are they buying their safety with
sacrifices?

“An-chan, aren’t you misunderstanding something? We’re not feeding them people or
anything. It’s this.”

He rolled up the sleeve of his clothes and revealed many puncture wounds.

“In this city, we pay part of our taxes in blood. Once a month, if you give a bottle full of
blood, your taxes will be significantly lowered. People who don’t like blood can just
pay taxes normally, so no one’s being forced. Humans can benefit from the labor and
magic of demons, and demons get culture and blood to feed their monsters. I’d say
we’re doing well.”
There is magic power in the blood.

With this system, you can get a steady supply of blood on a regular basis, making it the
best feed for monsters.

It’s much more efficient than attacking humans.

From the demons’ point of view, it’s the same as humans feeding and tending to cows
to milk them.

You could say that Buranikka is a farm to make food for monsters.

Coexistence and co-prosperity. Buranika is doing things the smart way.

“I got to hear an interesting story. What I’m concerned with is whether the demons
are violent. I’ve always thought of them as enemies, so I’m worried about their
temperament.”

“Yeah, they can get violent sometimes. But that’s also the same as humans. There are
bad people and violent people, just like with everyone else.”

The merchant gulped down his drink.

I’m starting to understand it.

One of the things I wanted to know was for what reason princess Flare’s younger
sister, princess Norn, wants to destroy Buranikka.

To sum up all I’ve just heard, from the inside, it’s a wonderful city, but from the outside,
it looks like it’s being controlled by the demons.

In fact, people in this city are even offering up their blood. That’s enough of an excuse
for princess Norn to destroy this city.

Now then, I’ve figured out what princess Norn has in mind.

…But even now that I know, there’s no reason for me to make a move. Princess Norn
has done no harm to me at this point. I can’t take revenge.

She might still be involved in the execution of everyone from my village, but that’s still
only a theory.

For example, what if this merchant was killed in the royal army’s raid led by princess
Norn? I don’t really like him that much.

I wouldn’t be able to take revenge for that, even if they were killed in front of me.

“Excuse me, dear guests. Is it alright if another person comes sit at this table?”

As I was thinking about that, the aroma of soybeans and bear meat hits my nose.

It seems that the waiter has brought the bear pot. Not just that, he asked for
permission for someone else to sit at the table.

The two merchants nodded, so I nodded too.

Then, the waiter brought a girl. Her whole body was wrapped in a tattered robe.
I was surprised when I saw her face. She’s the girl I’ve been looking for all along.

Yes, that face is the same as the Demon Lord I killed in the first world. She’s younger
than the Demon Lord I know, but there’s no doubt about it.

But… her hair, which should have been silver, was black. And her cheeks were sunken,
probably due to poor nutrition.

Even though she’s hiding it well, she has a tremendous amount of magic power… I
wouldn’t be surprised if this girl became the Demon Lord in four years.

“Please give me something warm you can make with this. It would also be helpful if
you could give me a lot of it.”

But, even though she’s such a powerful person, her financial situation seems to be
quite poor.

She takes out some copper coins from her pocket. The waiter nods and leaves.

With that much, the most she can get is some porridge with a piece of bread and some
meat in it.

“Nii-chan, did you know? The demons have many towns, villages, countries and kings.
But there’s one that’s more powerful than the king of any country. He’s called the
Demon Lord. Doesn’t matter if it’s a random demon or a demon king, they all have to
obey the Demon Lord.”

“Ah, I know about that.”

“I wonder what kind of person he is. I’m sure he’s super muscular and big. He probably
has dozens of horns or something. I’m pissing myself just thinking about it.”

That’s an interesting imagination. It does seem like a Demon Lord. However, it’s
completely different from the Demon Lord I know.

“No, it’s surprisingly a cute girl.”

“Nii-chan, you sound like you’ve met her before. Then please tell me in detail. You said
a cute girl, but what does she look like?”
The merchant doesn’t believe me at all, but he plays along because he thinks it’s a
funny joke. I can’t help but get in a playful mood too.

“If I had to say it, the girl next to me is the Demon Lord.”

I made such a great joke.

Now, I wonder how the future Demon Lord I know will react.
The Demon Lord’s appearance has changed between the first world and this world.

In the first world, she was a beautiful girl with silver hair and fallen-angel-like black
wings.

But in this world, it’s a big man with devil horns.

I came to a city where demons and humans coexist in order to find information about
the Demon Lord from the first world, but to my surprise, while I was gathering
information at the tavern, the person I was looking for showed up in front of me.

There is the possibility that it’s a different person that just resembles her.

There are many points of difference. The girl next to me looks to be in her mid-teens,
while her age was in the late teens in the first world. Her silver hair is also black now.

To confirm who it was, I dared throw a bomb in the middle of the room.

“If I had to say it, the girl next to me is the Demon Lord.”

Now, how will this girl react?

“Oi oi, there’s no way this kid is the Demon Lord. Even I can beat her.”

The merchant, in a good mood because of the alcohol, laughed out loud.

Well, I don’t care about his reaction. I care about that girl’s reaction.

“To think you’d call someone Demon Lord out of nowhere. Nii-san, you must be very
drunk.”
The girl hides her face in her robe and talks in a bright voice.

It’s a safe reply.

Thinking about it, the tone of her voice is also different from the Demon Lord in my
memory. It’s much more childish than the first world. Did she change her tone after
becoming Demon Lord?

“It’s not like I’m drunk. You just resemble a Demon Lord I used to know.”

“…Have you met a Demon Lord?”

“Yes, a long time ago.”

“I see. But you are mistaking me for someone else. I’m just a poor demon… who’s even
troubled by today’s food.”

As she laughed at herself, her food was brought to her.

As I imagined, it’s a porridge with vegetable scraps and pieces of dried meat floating
at the top.

She ate it as though it was delicious.

I heard a stomach growling.

Turns out it’s Setsuna’s stomach. I guess it’s because there’s a hot bear pot right in
front of us, but I haven’t touched it yet, so she decided to wait.

“Freia, Setsuna, shall we eat too?”

“…Un, hungry.”

“It was torture to endure such a delicious smelling pot.”

Setsuna looked away in embarrassment, and Freia distributed the bear pot.

It smells good. Plenty of bear meat and green vegetables have been boiled together
with the soybean miso soup.
The bear meat looks delicious, but I’m also looking forward to the vegetables which
have been soaked in the flavor of the meat and soup.

“This is delicious.”

“It one of the most delicious things ever eaten.”

“It is. How can such a simple dish taste so good?”

The moment you put it in your mouth, the powerful flavor of the bear meat spreads.
The miso soup firmly catched the taste of the meat.

If you taste it carefully, you can tell that salt and spices have been kneaded into the
meat. Thanks to that, the meat doesn’t have an animal smell, and it became much
softer and flavorful.

The soup isn’t just made with miso, but it was also carefully made with several
mushrooms.

The cooks in this tavern have good skills.

The vegetables I brought from the market are fresh and tasty. If you eat them with
meat alternately, you can probably eat them every day forever.

Not only is it tasty, but I can also feel the monster factor adapting to my physical body
and increasing my physical attack. I’ve become stronger again.

It’s just…

“I think this might be a little much.”

“Happy to eat so much… but already at limit.”

“As expected, I’ll get fat if I eat all this.”

When I asked them to cook, I gave them two kilos of bear meat in a wrap. But I didn’t
expect them to use all the meat for this pot.

Both Setsuna and Freia are good eaters, but, when combined with the vegetables, the
amount is more than one kilogram per person. In addition to the bear pot, we also
ordered a variety of snacks and even filled our stomachs with bread and wine. As
expected, we can’t finish this by ourselves.

Again, I heard a stomach growling.

This time, it’s not Setsuna, but the (supposed) Demon Lord girl.

The porridge she ordered was probably not enough to fill her stomach.

“I don’t think we can finish this by ourselves. It would be a shame to waste any of it,
so could you help us?”

“You don’t have any reason to give me charity.”

“It’s not charity. It would just be a waste to leave the food that was made especially for
us, and this is also an apology for mistking you as the Demon Lord.”

“…If that’s the case, I’ll accept it.”

When I look at Freia, she placed a large serving on a plate and gave it to the (supposed)
Demon Lord girl.

The moment she received it, she smiled innocently and her crimson eyes sparkled.

Then, she began to vigorously eat it.

It’s adorable.

Even though she’s a dangerous demon with enough magic power to wipe us all out if
we challenge her, something about looking at her makes me feel warm.

“Puhaa, that was delicious. Thank you. You are a good person. Why did you mistake
me for the Demon Lord?”

“I told you before. I met the Demon Lord once a long time ago. She was a girl with
silver hair and deep crimson eyes. Her black angel wings were also beautiful.”

The moment I said that, the color in the girl’s eyes changed.

“A Demon Lord with silver hair and black wings? Why do you… and she looks nothing
like me.”

“I’m not talking about you. I’m just saying that the Demon Lord I knew looked like
that.”

There’s even hostility in the girl’s eyes.

I wonder if she got angry because I saw through the dark wings hidden under her
robe.

Maybe her hair is actually silver, and it’s just dyed black.

“Oi oi, nii-chan. Don’t say anything reckless. Silver hair aside, crimson eyes and dark
wings are characteristics of the Black Wing race.”

The merchant interrupted our conversation with a laughter.

I’ve never heard of this race.

“Is it bad to be from that race?”

“It’s not that it’s bad, but it’s a race the Demon Lord has decided to exterminate.
There’s a bounty on the entire race. And it doesn’t matter if you bring them alive or
dead.”

I see. So this is why this girl is in disguise.

A race that is so powerful that the current Demon Lord decided to exterminate them
all.

I’m starting to get interested.

“If, by chance, a Black Wing were to appear here…”

“People would start killing each other. After all, the price is enough to enjoy life until
my grandchild’s generation. Everyone here would kill each other to eliminate the
competition before hunting the prey.”

That’s a truly horrible story.

I looked at the girl’s face.

Her expression from before was gone. She’s alert and watchful of her surroundings.

“Uhh, what’s your name again?”

“I don’t feel like telling you my name. I’m going to go now. I have finished my dinner…
and if you don’t want to die, you shouldn’t get involved in unnecessary matters.”

“Thanks for the advice, but I’ll get involved right away. Face the window and defend
yourself as best you can. If you don’t, you’ll die.”

I was kind enough to give her some advice.

Freia and Setsuna, who have full trust in me, are already in a defensive position.

Now, how about the (supposed) Demon Lord girl?

She looks towards the window with her eyes open wide.

It’s good that she’s honest. With her power, she won’t die.

The (supposed) Demon Lord girl pointed her hand towards the window and deployed
a defensive magic barrier with all her might.

Incredible. The technique itself is immature, to say the least, but with the crazy
amount of magic power released the defensive power is top-notch.

The next moment, there was a tremendous roar.

The windows are blown out and flames with magic power rages out.

Setsuna was hiding behind the barrier that Freia had set up, and I was hiding behind
the (supposed) Demon Lord girl.

I could have defended myself on my own, but I don’t want to waste any magic power.

“B-because of you!”

The (supposed) Demon Lord girl raises an irritated voice while putting all her strength
into the magic barrier.

The attacking fire magic doesn’t end in a single shot. Two or three more arrows rained
down. But the powerful magic barriers didn’t waver.

“It’s not my fault. This fire magic is a mix of various kinds of spells. It’s ritual magic
because it’s a collaborative effort by multiple casters, and they’re even using the
power of the leylines. At the very least, it takes an hour to construct it. What I’m trying
to say is that your attackers already knew you were coming here and even had time to
slowly prepare their ritual magic. This is a premeditated attack.”

How rude of her.

To falsely accuse me of revealing her identity for her attackers. This girl has probably
been coming here for a while. She’s the one who foolishly allowed her behavior
patterns to be read.

“Uuu, that might be true.”

The girl looks frustrated.

Surprisingly, she can afford such a thing. Even Freia is in a cold sweat defending from
the powerful ritual magic. I suppose the Demon Lord should be able to do this much.

The girl and I were unharmed, but the tavern in hell after this attack. The staff and
customers are either burned to death or fleeing the scene.

Even though it was such a good tavern, they did such a terrible thing.

“I’ll be kind and give you one more piece of advice. When you see a flashy attack like
this, it’s usually a diversion. Since they’re using so much firepower, the opponent has
become wary of your power. If that’s the case, they probably don’t expect to end this
with just ritual magic. The most likely scenario is a surprise attack from a blind spot
while you’re focusing in a single direction. They’d use an attack that’s hard to detect
with magic. If it were me, I’d use a poisoned arrow.”

For the first time, impatience appears on the girl’s face.

This is a little surprising. The opponents attacking us are quite skilled. It’s hard to
believe that this (supposed) Demon Lord girl has been able to survive until now
without being able to anticipate such a situation.

Maybe there was a skilled bodyguard until now.

“I’m grateful for your advice. But it seems it was an unnecessary worry. Because-”

Her words broke off there.

A crossbow arrow had pierced her thigh. It seems to be coated with a powerful
paralyzing poison, and she crumples to the ground.

The fire magic bullets stop.

The man who shot the crossbow was lurking inside the store. As expected of me,
things went exactly as I’d predicted.

The (supposed) Demon Lord girl glares at the man who shot the crossbow.

The man was a demon from the Mad Cow race. There was a vile light in his eyes.

Now then, what should I do?

“Why don’t you hire me? You can pay me after. If you don’t hire me, I’m sure that guy
will either kidnap you or kill you, either way, I’m sure it’ll be quite pleasant.”

I think it’ll be quite pleasant if she hires me, but that’s that. For now, we can get out of
this predicament.

The girl’s lips tremble while she’s numb and dazed from the paralyzing poison.

She doesn’t seem able to speak anymore.

But I know what she said. “Help me.”

Good. This girl’s in luck. I am on the side of justice. Let’s do what the frail girl asks.

“Got it. So, demon over there, this girl is now under my protection. As long as I’m
protecting her, you can’t have her. So will you leave quietly?”

“Weak human. Against us. Fool.”

It seems that this Mad Cow wasn’t alone. There are three of them in this tavern alone.

The people who casted the ritual magic from outside are also heading this way.

In any case, the way this demon talks*. No good, I’m going to laugh.

“What funny?”

“*Cough* No, it’s nothing. I’m just giving you a piece of advice. I’m a nice gentle young
man who is filled with a sense of justice, but there’s one thing I can’t forgive.”

That’s right, my one and only law.

Only this one thing makes me incredibly short-tempered, and I can’t control it.

“I won’t forgive anyone who takes things from me. You have already ruined my favorite
restaurant, and for that you deserve to die. But I’ll be merciful and forgive you because
I also feel a little guilty about meddling in your business. But if you try to take my new
toy from me… I’ll have to kill you.”

Yes, I’ll put it clearly, these guys should thank me for still being alive.

They are only still allowed to breathe because of my benevolence.

“Noisy, die!”

The Mad Cow man pulled out his sword. If he has a death wish, I’ll grant it to him.

“Too bad.”

I use a combination technique using both All-Seeing and Ground Shrinker, abilities I
copied from the Sword Saint.

This technique is performed by matching the rhythm of the opponent’s breathing, and
then, the moment their attention wavers, the distance is reduced to zero and I touch
the opponent.

“Transformation Heal.”

I use magic to remake his body, lightly covering the heart’s outlet.
That’s all it takes to destroy a body. It doesn’t matter if it’s a demon or not.

The Mad Cow man collapses with his whole body convulsing.

The two other members of the Mad Cow race were shaken. If they show even a
moment of weakness against me, I’ll kill them instantly. Let’s politely slaughter them.

The remaining two men fall down the same way as the first one.

“Freia, Setsuna, let’s run away. The girl who fell down just hired me as her bodyguard.
I’ll do my best to protect her.”

“Un, got it. But, things too sudden this time.”

“Setsuna-chan, I’m sure Keyaruga-sama must have deep thoughts behind his actions!
Let’s just silently follow him.”

Freia and Setsuna come running towards me.

I put the (supposed) Demon Lord girl on my shoulder.

“Uwa, don’t be so rough.”

“You can talk now. Is the effect of the paralyzing poison gone?”

I just examined her, and it looked like the type of poison to incapacitate an elephant
for half a month or so. That’s an interesting body.

“I can’t walk yet, but I can talk for a bit. Hey, why did you save me?”

I can’t tell her the truth.

I have to play it safe.

“My mood and the course of events.”

It hurts that not just the (supposed) Demon Lord girl, but also Freia and Setsuna are
looking at me.

I thought that was a suitable excuse, but it seems it was too little.
“I’m just joking. It’s an important topic, so I’ll talk about it later.”

I can’t say anything lame. We don’t even know this girl yet.

That’s why, I’ll buy time.

“In any case, let me treat you. I’m a Healer. I can easily get rid of this much poison.”

“Un, please.”

With her permission, I use Heal on her.

I’ll read her memories using Heal.

“I see. So that’s what it is.”

So, this girl is the Demon Lord from the first world after all.

This is going to be interesting. After all, there are some truths that can only be seen
from the demons’ side.

The grin on my face won’t go away.

First, let’s evacuate to a safe place and think about our future plans.

*TN: Well, this is completely lost in translation. Basically, this demon talks in a “simple”
way, but he also only uses katakana (normally it’s hiragana and kanji that are used).
I feel a warm weight on my shoulders.

While carrying a girl, I was running fast with Freia and Setsuna.

She was the girl who had opposed me as the Demon Lord in the first world.

For some reason, she was hiding her appearance with a robe in this city, and her
finances were doing so bad she was even troubled for today’s meal.

While I was investigating her true situation, she was attacked by demons and we’re
now on the run.

The enemy was chasing us through the crowd.

“Where do you plan to run to?”

“I heard there are slums to the east. There’s probably one or two abandoned houses
there.”

The girl I was carrying asked me that question, so I answered.

I considered going outside the city, but I left all my tents and bedding at the inn.

Spending a night in the mountains without any equipment is fine for me and Setsuna,
but it would be hard on amateurs.

“Keyaruga-sama, enemy still chasing us.”

Setsuna warned me while her nose was twitching.

I took care of the people in the tavern, but not the ones who fired magic at us.

Setsuna remembers their scent, so she can confirm the presence of the pursuers
without looking back.

“Freia, I’ll leave you to deal with them.”

“Please wait a bit. I’ll confirm with Setsuna-chan and identify them.”

By identify, she means she’s going to confirm whether the scent of the demon Setsuna
remembers matches with what Heat Source Detection finds.

It would be hard to make a mistake since they’re following us, but there is a chance
unrelated people may be involved. That kind of thing goes against my principles, so
it’s important she properly identifies them.

Setsuna confirmed the demon Freia pointed to and nodded.

All that’s left is for Freia to unleash her magic in accordance with what she feels with
Heat Source Detection.

Once caught by Heat Source Detection, no matter how many feints you make or if you
hide behind obstacles or not, there’s no way to escape because the information is fed
back directly to Freia’s head as a numerical value.

“Keyaruga-sama, is it fine to kill them?”

“Just don’t get others involved.”

“Understood. Then…”

After turning a corner and confirming there are no other passersby on this road, Freia
stops running after gaining some distance.

After a little while, the three demons who had been chasing us came around the
corner.

“Ice Spear Wind Bullet.”

An ice spear is created and launched with compressed air.

It’s a composite magic of wind and ice attributes.

The data obtained from the Heat Source Detection is used to determine their future
coordinates and a barrage of projectiles are fired.

The enemies who tried to evade were caught, and those who tried to defend were
penetrated.

The demons pursuing us were powerful, but even they are helpless when hit by
powerful composite magic from the Magic Hero.

“Let’s get out of here before it becomes a commotion.”

“Yes.”

“Un.”

The two of them nodded and we started running towards the slums.

There were many abandoned houses in the slums.

That makes it a good place to hide.

I chose a building with no signs of people living in it, and then I put up a simple barrier
after entering it.

There was some dust and debris inside, but it would be livable once we cleaned it up.

“Setsuna, Freia, you two clean up. I need to talk with my new employer.”

“Understood. I’ll do my best to make sure we can sleep comfortably!”

“…Don’t add Setsuna’s work by doing thing you don’t have to. Only do what Setsuna
tells.”

Freia was originally a princess, so she’s generally bad at housework.

She’s smart and does things well, but the first time she does something, she usually
causes a catastrophe.

Already anticipating this, Setsuna nailed her down.

“Sorry about that. I’ll go help when we’re done talking. Now then, let’s hear your story.”

I unburdened my shoulders.

I’ve been carrying her for a long time, so my shoulders are unusually stiff.

Well, even if she doesn’t tell me, I already know what’s going on because I read her
memories when I used Heal on her.

I gained not only her memories, but also her abilities.

I can’t use Imitation Heal on the abilities of monsters, but it works on demons? It was
my first experience, so I was quite surprised.

“What do you want?”

The (supposed) Demon Lord girl looks at me with wary eyes.

There’s no way someone would protect someone else from a powerful demon just
because of good intentions.

It’s natural to be suspicious.

Rather, if she was foolish enough to just thank me without any caution, I would have
abandoned her.

“I once met a Demon Lord with black wings, silver hair and red eyes. I really wanted
to meet her. To talk to her.”

“That was a joke.”

“There’s no one who would do something like this for a joke.”

The normal thing to do in this situation was to abandon the girl and get the hell out of
there.
By saving the girl, my face has been marked by the organization chasing her.

There’s no doubt that there’s someone behind the attackers. This places considerable
restrictions on our actions within this city.

“…But something’s weird. The Black Wing race was only Demon Lord until more than
30 years ago. Humans become old soon, don’t they? No matter how I look at it, you’re
still young so you have to be lying.”

“That’s right. We will meet in the future. Four years from now, I will meet with the
Demon Lord. Yes, with you.”

The girl was dumbfounded by my sudden statement.

“What are you talking about?”

“With this eye, I can see the future.”

I activate my Jade Eye. My eye glows a jade green color.

The Jade Eye has no ability to see into the future. But if you have some knowledge of
magic, you should be able to tell it’s a powerful magic eye.

“I saved you because you are the future Demon Lord who will meet me. Do I need to
explain any further?”

“…I’m the future Demon Lord. What a laughable joke.”

“It’s not a joke. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.”

I smile at her. The girl seems confused.

Even though she doesn’t believe me, she thinks she’s been found out as a Demon Lord
candidate.

She rubs her left hand, which is covered by a glove.

There’s a mark on it.

I said something about the future because girls are usually weak against things like
future and destiny, so I thought it would be easier to persuade her given her
circumstances.

“I thought humans were weak and couldn’t even use magic well, but there are people
like you who have strange powers.”

“You’re not wrong, but I want to correct you about the weak part. You seem to be
wondering if this is a trap or not… If I wanted to hurt you as you are right now, I
wouldn’t even need to set up a trap. After all, I am a Hero and stronger than you.”

I took off my glove and showed the mark at the back of my hand.

That is the mark reserved for Heroes.

“I’ll introduce myself again. I’m Keyaruga, the Healing Hero.”

“?! So you’re a Hero!”

The girl gets more alert and gets into a fighting stance.

It’s a hassle to have to fight, but so be it. It’ll be fun to let her see for herself.

I have no doubt I can win. My Jade Eye can see everything about the (supposed)
Demon Lord girl.

Summoning.

This is the first time I see a total talent value of 600.

Even Heroes like me and Freia only get to the 500s. Her level is also over 50.

She has excellent abilities and skills.

She can use light and dark magic that humans can’t use, and even has a rare
summoning magic.

Her unique combat technique, the Black Wing Martial Arts, is also very powerful.
I have used Imitation Heal and copied all her abilities, but Familiar Summoning is
useless without the prerequisite skill to get familiars. But I’ll be sure to use dark and
light magic as I need in the future.

I lose in terms of level, talents, abilities and the quality of the skills. But, from what I
saw from the earlier attack, she lacks experience and practice. There’s many ways I
can go about this

Besides, she’s almost out of MP.

“We can fight if you want, but first listen to what I have to say. It’s true that Heroes are
tools used by humans to kill demons, but I want to coexist with demons. I saved you
because I thought it would be convenient for you to become the next Demon Lord in
order to end this joke of a war between humans and demons.”

“What do you know about me?”

“I told you we meet in the future. At least, it’s better for you to become Demon Lord
than to do what the people chasing you want. So I’ll protect you until then.”

I looked into her memories and learned that she was a Demon Lord candidate.

When the Demon Lord’ death comes near, one person from each of the 20 demon races
gets the mark of the Demon Lord candidate engraved on the back of their hand.

When the Demon Lord dies, one of the candidates will succeed them. The selection
criteria is unknown.

30 years ago, a Demon Lord from the Black Wing race died and the next Demon Lord
was chosen from another race.

That Demon Lord was a weak Demon Lord. He was chosen because he killed the other
candidates through cowardly means, and he gave the Black Wings, the race of the
previous Demon Lord, complete ill-treatment and stripped them of their power.

He couldn’t bear to be compared to his predecessor, who had been praised as a great
lord, and he couldn’t allow anyone else to have power other than himself.

Because of this complex, he drove out the Black Wing race and all the races that were
close to the previous Demon Lord more than necessary.
Then, when the time of his death approached and a Demon Lord candidate from the
Black Wing race appeared, he became helplessly afraid. If another Demon Lord came
from the Black Wings, would he receive retribution for the poor treatment he gave
them? In order to relief that anxiety, he decided to kill all the Black Wings with his
authority as the Demon Lord.

“I can’t believe it. As I thought, I can’t rely on you… as a Hero. Thank you for your help.
But this is where we part ways.”

She turned away.

That reaction was expected.

“Are you fine with that? What can a kid that only has power do on their own? In fact,
you’d be dead if I hadn’t helped you. And it’ll be the same from now on. Let me tell you
what you lack. You lack the wisdom to escape, you lack caution, you lack money, you
lack friends, you lack ambition and you lack determination.”

It’s easy to kill an opponent that’s just strong.

All you have to do is stick around for 24 hours until they are defenseless.

Even the strongest will eventually show a weakness. A group of people who can act in
an organized manner can kill her.

“Shut up!”

“At this rate, your wings are going to get heavier again.”

The (supposed) Demon Lord girl turns around.

Her wings were filled with countless souls of her people.

The souls of the Black Wings killed by the current Demon Lord appear to her after
death, begging for her to become Demon Lord and dispel their grudge.

Most of the fallen angels she used in the first world were Black Wings killed by the
current Demon Lord.

“What do you want me to do?!”

The girl shouts in a tantrum.

She has been suppressing her emotions until now.

Until a week ago, she had been surrounded by bodyguards from the Black Wing race.
But they were killed.

Alone, she suppressed and endured her emotions and kept running away, and this is
the city she came to.

Her tense heart finally gave in.

“You just have to stay with me. I’ll protect you. I can make up for everything you’re
lacking. There’s another good point if you want.”

“…Good point?”

“Kill the current Demon Lord and you’ll become the next Demon Lord. If the current
Demon Lord dies, the next Demon Lord will be chosen immediately, right? There’s a
bunch of candidates, but I guarantee you, you will be chosen. If you do that, your
people trembling in fear in your hometown will be saved.”

There’s a dark fire in the girl’s eyes.

It must be unbearably attractive.

She would be freed from her days of just running away and her people would be saved.

And above all, how can she not hate the Demon Lord who is targeting her and trying
to kill her entire race?

I am a professional when it comes to revenge. If she falls into this same path, I can
easily manipulate her.

“I want it. I want to cling to you. But tell me your true desires. I can’t believe you
otherwise. No matter how I look at it, you’re not the kind of person who acts because
of something like justice. I can tell that much. Your true feelings only showed when
you said you wanted to protect me and that you wanted to kill the Demon Lord.”

I’m a little impressed. That was quite perceptive of her. What I said about humans and
demons coexisting is just a front.

There are two things I want:

One is the girl herself. She’s still a little chick now, but she’ll grow to be so beautiful
that even I, her opponent, couldn’t help but admire her.

The sight of her crying at the end was so beautiful and moving. That’s why I want her.

The other is…

“I want the Demon Lord’s heart. What, I’m not going to gouge out your heart once you
become Demon Lord. I’ll use the opportunity from when I kill the current Demon Lord
to get it. That’s the reward I want from you.”

I didn’t want Setsuna and Freia to hear, so I whispered in her ear.

The girl’s eyes widened, as if she understood it all.

The Demon Lord’ heart becomes a red jewel when you rip it out.

The Philosopher’s Stone. I once used it to Heal the world itself.

I don’t plan to use it in this world, but I have to be prepared to start over at any time.

But I can’t bear to kill my favorite Demon Lord (toy) just to get some insurance. It
would be too much of a waste.

But, if it’s the current Demon Lord who my Demon Lord (toy) has a grudge against, I
can kill him for both my hobby and practicality and get a rare item in the process.

“Let me think about it for tonight. I’ll stay with you the rest of the day.”

“Alright, think well.”

I’m sure she’ll accept my offer. Her eyes already have the look of someone who has
been seduced by revenge.

When that happens, she’s mine. Now, starting tomorrow, I’ll think about how to play
with my Demon Lord (toy).
I gave the future Demon Lord some time to think, so we spent the night in an
abandoned house in the slums.

It’s as if she’s within my hands.

But there’s a lot of things bothering me.

She’s being targeted by the current Demon Lord. That’s fine enough.

What I’m concerned about is the fact that this girl, who I doubt could possibly keep
her pursuers away on her own, somehow became Demon Lord in the first world.

This girl, Eve Reese, is strong. Stupidly so.

But she’s only strong as far as living things go. Her perception ability is as good as an
amateurs, she’s about as good as any random human with magic, and she has not
mastered her martial arts.

Even though she’s high leveled, unlike the Sword Saint Kureha, she didn’t reach that
peak after many battles to the death.

Unlike humans, demons are born at a certain level.

She just happened to be strong from birth.

She’s a descendant of the previous Demon Lord, so she has a minimum level of
education, but she’s more like a young lady who was raised in a land of butterflies and
flowers. She has no life skills and is full of openings. From my point of view, she can be
killed at will.
To sum it all up, there’s no way she could have survived being targeted by
professionals.

For her to have been able to survive in the first world, someone had to have appeared
to help her.

It had to be a top-class guardian who can keep her alive until succession, despite being
targeted by the current Demon Lord.

In short, I’m worried this top-class guardian will turn against me.

The girl herself must not know of their existence. If she did, she wouldn’t have reacted
as she did yesterday.

“Keyaruga-sama, thinking?”

Setsuna’s voice sounds heated and a little concerned.

It’s early morning now.

And so it was time for the morning routine.

“Sorry, it’s a bit tasteless to think about other women during our morning routine. I’ll
think only about Setsuna now.”

At least during our morning routine, I’ll look only at Setsuna.

Setsuna got happy when I thought only about her and gave her as much love as I could.

“Keyaruga-sama, happy. Hold tighter.”

“Yeah, I’ll hold you tighter.”

I hug Setsuna tightly.

After a while, our morning routine is over. Setsuna has become stronger once again.

Setsuna collapses on the spot, breathing heavily.

Then, she looks at me with melting eyes.

I connect my lips with hers.

She entwines her tongue with mine, as if she’s spoiling me.

As always, she’s quite cute.

“W-w-w-what are you two doing so early in the morning?!”

“It’s just our morning routine. Don’t make a fuss about it.”

Freia was still happily sleeping, but the (supposed) Demon Lord girl, Eve, was awake.

And, while she was hiding her bright red face with her hands… she was firmly
watching mine and Setsuna’s morning routine between the gaps of her fingers.

“Of course I’m making a fuss! Why are you doing that in front of me?”

“I told you, it’s our morning routine. This is the only room we’ve cleaned, so of course
we’re going to do it here, even if you’re watching.”

We managed to get this abandoned house cleaned and cleared of debris and garbage
last night so we could sleep here, but one room was the limit.

Or rather, I don’t feel the need to make other rooms habitable.

We’re being targeted by pursuers.

Even though I set up a simple defensive barrier to block out our presence and detect
intruders, it gets weaker and consumes more magic exponentially as the covered area
increases.

I can let myself get exhausted because I had to spread the barrier over several rooms
and reduce its strength just because of some privacy.

And above all, both Setsuna and I are the type to get more heated when someone sees
us.

“I-I don’t get it. Do you want to do that with me as well?”

Eve said, hugging her body with both hands and retreating.
“There’s no way I would. I don’t like forcing these kinds of things. Besides, I have no
shortage of women.”

I pull Setsuna into a hug.

She happily leans her weight on me.

I also squeeze the sleeping Freia’s butt. She happily moans in her sleep.

“Well, if you’re frustrated, I can have sex with you as well. Shall I do it now?”

“I don’t need your help!”

Fumu, I thought she was interested in me because she’s wet.

It would be bad to spoil her mood by teasing her too much.

“For now, let’s have breakfast. You can gather your thoughts on what you want to do
after breakfast is over… Setsuna, wake up Freia and get started on today’s training. I’ll
finish preparing breakfast in the meantime.”

Eve had been vigorously eating the bear pot, but she was attacked before she could
eat half of it.

Last night, the noises of Eve’s stomach growling had gotten louder. I thought about
offering her a midnight snack, but for some reason I decided to ignore it.

“Got it. If anything suspicious, send a signal and turn back right away.”

“Please do that. You understand it well.”

I pat Setsuna on the head.

As I do so, Setsuna wags her wolf tail.

She puts on her clothes and, quite literally, smacks Freia awake.

“Kyau?! What are you doing all of a sudden, Setsuna-chan?”

“Freia overslept again today.”

“Hau?! I did it again… I was going to ask to be included in the morning routine today.”

“Don’t worry, make sure to use all energy you saved by not joining morning routine.
Use it all, no leftover.”

“Hii, oni, oni instructor. Keyaruga-sama, save me, nooo!”

Setsuna grabs Freia by the neck and pulls her outside.

For what it’s worth, these two are good friends.

Freia doesn’t seem to be aware of it, but she’s getting stronger day by day. Setsuna is
a good teacher.

“In the end, are you a good person or a bad person?”

Eve asks me as she’s drinking the tea I brewed.

She has already taken off the robe that hid her wings.

Her beautiful black wings were revealed. From her wings, I sense a strong magic
power and countless souls.

Maybe each of her feathers has the ability to store her immense magic power
separately from her body.

I’m a little jealous. I’d like to get one or two of them and experiment to see if I can
process them into my own equipment.
“I’m a good person. I don’t mean to brag, but there’s no one in this world as good-
natured as I am.”

I am the calm, gentle and righteous Keyaruga-sama. It’s because I’m like this that
Setsuna is so attached to me.

And, even though the chance was created with a bit of brainwashing, Freia has become
much more attached to me than before. It’s definitely due to my virtue.

Even the Sword Saint Kureha is crazy about me. There’s no way I’m not a good person.

“I don’t think there’s any decent person who can say that with such confidence.”

“People who say they’re bad while brimming with confidence are definitely worse.
Words have power. If you keep saying you’re a good person, you’ll become a good
person, and if you say you’re a bad person you’re going to act like one.”

That’s the truth. So I will continue to call myself a good person.

And I’m not lying. She’s going to become my property (toy).

I’m definitely a good person for my properties (toys). Only for the targets of my
revenge I become the devil.

“Are you more of a logical person?”

“I have a tendency to do that. Well, leaving that aside, let’s introduce ourselves. I
haven’t asked your name yet. I have already told you mine but I’ll say it again. I’m the
Healing Hero Keyaruga.”

“…Eve Reese of the Black Wing race. I’m the granddaughter of the previous Demon
Lord and a Demon Lord candidate.”

“Eve, that’s a cute name that suits you well.”

Now that her robe is off, she’s definitely a beautiful girl.

She’s about 15 or 16 years old, and her jet black hair matches her fair white skin. Her
red eyes are also attractive. Her face was perfect, like a doll’s.
“Thank you for that.”

Eve was wary of me.

I guess she’s also wary of the fact that I did my morning routine right in front of her.

Well that’s fine, I don’t care what choice she makes.

I don’t want her to die before she becomes Demon Lord, but there’s no point in
brainwashing her, destroying her and making her an obedient puppet that does
everything I say.

What I want is the future grown-up Eve. I want that beautiful and noble Demon Lord,
not an obedient and convenient onahole* like Freia.

While thinking about that, I continued to prepare breakfast.

I’m bored of eating only bread, so today I’m going to make noodles.

Slowly dissolve the flour in water.

If you pour it into the soup little by little, it becomes a fluffy white mass. The shape
and texture are similar to a dish from the far east called wonton.

The flavor of the soup soaks into them well and they become delicious.

The soup is filled with smoked meat from a dog monster we hunted the other day.

It has an adaptable factor that raises the precious speed talent value.

I don’t usually like to give food that raises talent to anyone outside our Party, but she
is special.

“You’re a good cook, aren’t you?”

“It’s fatal if you can’t cook for yourself when you’re traveling. That’s another thing Eve
lacks. Delicious and nutritious food is the greatest pastime during a trip. It relieves
physical and mental exhaustion and makes the journey that much better… No, sex is
the greatest pastime, so should this be second?”
“Seriously, do you have no delicacy?!”

The correct answer to make a girl like Eve lower her guard is to be open and
purposefully anger her.

I don’t say this out loud, but I have the memories of countless people, so I understand
which patterns make it easier for certain types of people to open up.

“If Eve chooses to come with us, we’ll all travel together. It would make you uneasy if
we kept secrets from you, wouldn’t it? It would be unfortunate for both of us if I hid
things only until Eve made a decision and then you complained about it later. I’ve
decided to show all of myself without hiding anything.”

“…Unexpectedly, you seem to be thinking about things.”

“Because you are an important companion candidate. Well, it’s about time for Setsuna
and Freia to return. Let’s have breakfast.”

The barrier warned me of Setsuna and Freia’s return.

Well, I hope today’s breakfast suits their taste.

“Keyaruga-sama, today’s soup very delicious.”

“Yes, the noodles have a chewy and interesting texture and the flavor is very good.”

Apparently, the soup was well received.

The smoked meat makes for a good broth, and I used the same soybean miso for
seasoning as well.

The soybean miso counteracts the harshness of the wild vegetables I randomly threw
in, making it easy to eat.

The noodles were a nice change from the bread we had been eating for a while.

Both Setsuna and Freia ate it up in no time and even asked for a second serving.
This noodle dish, which is made by pouring loosely dissolved flour into a soup, is
suitable for traveling because it can be made in large quantities with a small amount.

I looked at Eve. Tears were spilling from her eyes.

“Was it so bad that you had to cry?”

Eve hurriedly rubbed her eyes and wiped away her tears.

“No. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt safe, ate good food, and felt warm. I don’t know
what’s wrong. I can’t stop crying.”

It’s no wonder.

For a week after her bodyguards died, Eve, who was only a naive young lady, was
constantly in fear and unable to eat or sleep well. Yesterday, she was vigorously
wolfing down the bear pot, but she was only able to eat a little and she didn’t have
time to taste it because of her suspicion and fear of being targeted.

Even though she’s facing a tricky opponent, she seemed to have lost her tension as she
slowly saved the delicious meal, feeling safe and secure in the knowledge that she’s
being protected by me, who had risked my life to protect her and wouldn’t harm her.

Actually, this is also something I’m aiming for.

All her emotions and wariness about me, all of them shattered in face of one
overwhelming reality.

That is the lure of safe, delicious food.

Baiting is a primitive but effective method when dealing with starving prey. Only those
who have never starved themselves would ignore this method.

Once the prey’s stomach is secured, its survival instincts will force itself to come up
with a plausible reason to convince the rational mind.

Once Eve drinks this soup, she no longer has the option of not coming with us. Right
now, as I planned, it seems she’s trying to convince herself to come with us.

“I’m glad to hear that. We’ve got refills, so eat to your heart’s content.”
“Thank you… it’s delicious, really delicious.”

She’s properly tasting and enjoying her meal.

If she’s fine with this, I’ll let her eat it anytime from now on.

When the pot is empty, I distribute dried cranberries to everyone.

I picked them from the mountains and dried them.

“Setsuna likes these.”

“Keyaruga-sama, you always serve those after meals.”

“It’s for your health.”

Whether its fruit or anything else, you should take something sour after a meal. That’s
knowledge I got from an adventurer I used Heal on.

That’s why, when I find nuts, I process them into preserved food and carry as many as
I can around.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had something sweet.”

This one also seems to have pulled on Eve’s heartstrings. She eats the dried
cranberries while looking like they’re delicious.

Children and women of all ages love sweets.

She tastes each and every one slowly. I wait for Eve to finish eating.

And now, the promised time has come.

“Eve, you promised to decide if you’d come with us after breakfast. Let’s set the terms.
What I propose is that you come with us, I’ll protect you from your pursuers, we are
strong. I promise you a safe journey until you become Demon Lord. If you want, we
can kill the current Demon Lord. If we do that, the few surviving Black Wings will be
spared.”

Eve looks at me straight in the eyes.

“It’s a very attractive proposal. But I have too little to give back.”

“There’s a lot you can offer. First, you’re already excellent as a combat force. Your
technique is still that of a child’s, but you’re strong as a living being. If you’re going to
join us, I won’t allow you to just waste your time eating. We will use your fighting
power to our benefit.”

Eve was born with too much power.

I can’t even imagine what kind of monster this talented girl would become if she was
seriously trained.

“Next, I want to kill the Demon Lord. I already told you why. If I can beat the assassins
sent to you at their own game, it’ll be a convenient chance to extract information about
the current Demon Lord, and Eve’s powerful combat ability will be an important card
for killing the Demon Lord.”

And this is also part of my policy.

I want the Philosopher’s Stone, the Demon Lord’s heart, so much that I can feel my
throat being suffocated.

For that, I have to kill the Demon Lord.

But, as a pledge to myself, I won’t one-sidedly kill anyone who doesn’t harm me.

If I did that, I would stop being an ally of justice and become the same trash that once
tormented me.

If Eve becomes my property (toy), then the current Demon Lord becomes my enemy
who is trying to take my property (toy).

In other words, he’ll become a target for a fun, fun revenge.

I won’t allow anyone to take anything away from me. I can happily beat him to death,
gouge out his heart and get the Philosopher’s Stone. In order to kill the current Demon
Lord, I need to bring Eve into my Party.

“Is that really all there is to it? Are you going to risk your life to protect me just for that
reason?”
“That’s all there is to it. If I had to say more, I’d say I want to end the war between
humans and demons, like I mentioned before. When you become Demon Lord, please
become a Demon Lord that negotiates with humans. I’ll be thankful if you can bring
options other than fighting for the interest of demons.”

“Why do you want to stop the war?”

“It’s too troublesome. Killing each other for no reason. There’s nothing we can gain
from killing each other, right?”

In the first place, the war against the demon race was started in order for Jioral
Kingdom to legally collect aid from other countries. It’s disgusting that humans and
demons keep shedding blood for them.

“…You’re not after my body, right?”

“How self-conscious are you? You’re just a little girl. Don’t tell me you thought that I’d
fallen in love with you and because of that I’d risk not only my own life but also the life
of my precious women… Setsuna and Freia, to protect you? You think your body is
worth that much? As expected of a Demon Lord Candidate. That’s an incredibly high
level of self-rating. Even I don’t have that kind of confidence.”

Eve’s face turns red and her body shakes. Even her hands on her knees were shaking
and she was teary-eyed.

Shit, I overreacted a bit since she basically hit the bullseye.

I overdid it. She might become stubborn now.

“I get it. I’ll go with you! I might look like this, but I’m really strong. It’s just that I’m a
little weak against surprise attacks, but as long as it’s from the front, I can handle
people like yesterday’s pursuers no problem!”

“I’m very worried that you say you can win against assassins in a head-on fight with
such a smug face. I wonder if this is how it feels watching a little girl that’s proud of
her ability to beat a fish in a land race?”

That’s no good. When I deal with Eve, I almost instinctively want to tease her.

Eve has that kind of aura about her.

“Noisy! Noisy! Why do you say such mean things? Anyway, please take care of me from
now on! Also, I’m not a little girl. I’m a splendid adult!”

I chuckle.

At any rate, I now have my future Demon Lord.

From now on, my life is going to be a lot more interesting.

For now, I’m going to gather information in this city as I originally planned.

I’m also concerned about the younger sister princess.

“All right, all right. I apologize for calling you a young girl.”

“You don’t really understand, do you? Me too… if I wanted to, I could also do something
like that.”

For some reason, she suddenly became stubborn.

I don’t understand why she would talk so fervently about it.

No, I can tell by the look on Setsuna’s face.

Every time she said she wasn’t a little girl, Setsuna snickered.

From Setsuna’s point of view, who was in a similar situation, Eve is nothing but a
lukewarm young lady. I can understand why she would react this way.

And Setsuna is very possessive. Even though she doesn’t voice her dissatisfaction as
my propriety (toy), she’s frustrated and hurt on the inside every time I make a move
on a new woman.

Still, it’s cute how she endures it and devotes herself to me, and I even look forward to
bringing new women in front of Setsuna.

“Uuu. I’ll prove it. Even I can do it.”

I’ve discovered a new flaw in Eve.

She’s extremely competitive. It would be a good idea to correct it in the future.

Let’s let her know what kind of results these casual remarks can have.

“I see, so Eve is a splendid adult who can even do those kinds of things. If that’s the
case, why not prove it right here?”

You see, this is what is called a woman’s advances. I’ll happily reach my hand to her.
I tried teasing Eve, who had dug her own grave.

The girl herself had a bright red face as she glared at me and fixed her messy clothes.

Even though I did it because she said to do it, halfway through she got teary-eyed and
yelled “mom!”

That was really frustrating.

I didn’t want to force her to do it, so I simply stopped.

“You should think carefully before tempting a man.”

“Keyaruga-sama is right. Rude to make Keyaruga-sama take care of you then refuse in
the middle.”

Setsuna nods in agreement. Setsuna is rather merciless towards Eve.

“I didn’t think he’d actually assault me just because I told him to do it!”

“I’m clumsy.”

“What does that even mean?!”

That’s strange. According to the memories of a certain adventurer, women become

more accepting if you say this.

Speaking of, there’s one thing that bothers me.

“The Black Wing is a respectable demon race, isn’t it? Then you should be able to
control monsters. What kind of monsters can the Black Wings control?”

A monster is just an animal that was mutated by mana.

And demons can control monsters.

Just as the Mad Cow race can control bull monsters, the Black Wing race should also
be able to control some kind of monster.

When I fought her as Demon Lord in the first world, I thought that those fallen angels
that appeared from her wings were monsters, but now that I look at her with my Jade
Eye, I understand.

That was nothing more than her own summoning magic called Familiar Summoning,
where she summons the souls of her dead relatives from her wings.

In that case, there must be a proper monster that can be used along with those fallen
angels.

“There is one. But it’s hard to handle, or rather, it requires a trial.”

She’s unusually evasive.

It seems that there’s some circumstances behind it.

“If there’s a trial, we’ll cooperate with it. I want more strength, even if it’s just a bit. I
certainly want to get it.”

As far as I can tell from Eve, the Black Wings are a powerful race.

There is a proportional relationship between the strength of a demon race and the
type of monster they can control.

Eve’s monster is definitely strong. We can’t afford to just throw it away.

“Humans don’t know this, but the reason why monsters unconditionally obey us
demons is because demons are a higher rank than monsters. But sometimes there are
cases where the monsters are superior and even possess higher intelligence. In these
cases, the monsters test the demons.”

“In other words, if the monster recognizes you, it’ll listen to you.”

What the hell, isn’t this simple?

What’s there to hesitate about?

If all there is is a trial, just hurry up and do it.

“I said it was superior, right? In the case of the Black Wing race, we can enslave
guardian deities outside the monster category. The divine bird of death and disease,
Caladrius. It’s a white bird so big it can swallow someone as big as me whole. Only the
legs, neck and base of the tail are black, it’s beautiful… but it’s a creepy monster bird.”

Caladrius. I search my memory after hearing the name.

It was also in the memories I got from Heal.

It has even remained in human legends. As Eve said, he’s worshiped as a god, not a
monster.

It’s the legend of the bird of salvation. There was once an infectious disease that was
so strong it made the strange disease I cured look like nothing. It spread throughout
the country. The divine bird of salvation devoured the disease and flew away, saving
the country.

On the other hand, there’s also a legend called the demon bird of destruction. It’s said
that, if you ate its flesh, you would become immortal, so a certain nation led an army
of 1000 men to hunt it down.

As a result, the flapping of Caladrius’ wings caused the wind to blow. The moment the
army got in contact with the wind, they were struck by a deadly disease and destroyed.
The survivors returned to their country, where the disease spread until the country
perished.

After that, Caladrius appeared again. It seems that he went around eating the disease
that had spread around as if it was a delicious dish.

In short, it seems to have the ability to consume and spread disease.

Basically, it’s a beneficial bird that only feeds on disease, but the moment it becomes
hostile, it becomes a harmful bird that spreads disease.

“I want it. If it’s revered enough to be called a god bird, you know where it lives, don’t
you? Let’s go see it right away. I want a new pet.”
The raptor is cute, but I’m looking forward to seeing the divine bird Caladrius.”

“A-are you insane?! You’re going to die. It’s so dangerous I don’t know how many
countries it destroyed. No one has ever passed its trial!”

Eve desperately tries to stop me.

It’s troublesome, but I’ll try to convince her.

…Since I have Eve’s memories, I could go on my own. But, for the sake of a better
relationship in the future, I want to get her consent.

“I forgot to ask Eve before. Are you satisfied with just staying next to me and surviving
until someday you become the next Demon Lord? Or do you want to get rid of the
current Demon Lord in order to save even one of your friends? Which is it?”

“…Of course, the latter. I don’t want to let him do whatever he wants anymore. And I’ll
never forgive him for messing with the Black Wing race so much. I’ll kill him with my
own hands.”

I thought she was just a sweet girl, but she has nice eyes.

Her wings are inhabited by countless remorseful souls of her dead relatives.

Maybe they’re provoking her.

In a way, it’s a curse.

“Then, if you have the greatest fighting power on sight, you should be willing to take
the risk and get it. The divine bird Caladrius. The power that has destroyed several
nations. If handled well, it can be more useful than an army of 10,000 people.”

A useful pet.

To be precise, it’s Eve’s pet. But my property’s (toy’s) pet is also my pet.

“But we’ll never pass the trial. We’d be fighting the worst disease, you know? It’s
absolutely impossible for a living thing.”

In that case, it’s easy.

Since we’re fighting against disease, it’s already in my field of expertise.

“Did you forget? I’m the Healing Hero. As long as I’m alive, I won’t let anyone die.”

The divine bird’s disease is so powerful that no normal medicine or magic will be
useful against it.

“Even if it’s a disease made by god, I will definitely cure it as long as it’s a disease.”

Eve gulped.

Even she must know.

How reassuring it would be to have the divine bird as a companion.

And she’s looking at someone who can overcome the trial.

“Eve, you understand it, right? It’s a risky bet, but it’s best to take it while you have a
chance to win.”

Even though I’m saying this, I can’t be too optimistic about the divine bird.

Even after becoming Demon Lord in the first world, I know Eve avoided the trial.

That powerful Demon Lord who defended against the Rank 7 spell of the Magic Hero
princess Flare, killed the Gun Hero, and cut down the Sword Hero, shied away from
the challenge.

There’s a possibility that even my Heal won’t work.

I may have to use my trump card, the sixth Heal.

“I understand. Certainly, we need it if we’re going to kill the current Demon Lord. It
might be a good idea to take on the trial. But there are a few conditions that must be
met for us to take the trial. One of them is the position of the stars. We’ll depart in two
weeks’ time. The divine bird Caladrius lives about five days of walking from here. We
can take the test in three week’s time, but it’s best to give ourselves some leeway.”

Maybe there’s a special seal applied to it.

I don’t know if it was the divine bird Caladrius himself, or the Black Wings who feared
his power, who did it. But if it’s a being as powerful as she said, we have no choice but
to wait for that day.

“I understand. Then, we’ll deal with the current Demon Lord after that. We can’t leave
here, so we’ll gather information in this city for a while.”

“I agree with that. It’s probably safer that way.”

I’m glad Eve agreed to stay in this city until we take the trial.

I have a fun game with the younger sister princess coming very soon.

Until then, I don’t want to leave this city.

Once I realized that the divine bird’s location was far away and a day trip was
impossible, I didn’t want to leave this city until Jioral Kingdom attacked it.

“Okay, then I’ll go collect information right away. I’ll see what I can hear on the streets.
Setsuna and Freia, you stay here and protect the hideout. Protect Eve. If something
happens, just do the usual.”

“Wait a minute, your face is already known.”

I killed all the attackers, but there was someone on lookout, and I should assume they
saw my face.

But so what?

“Transformation Heal.”

I change my face.

With Transformation Heal, I can change myself into who I want to be, not who I am.

I made this face look like a young man more suitable for getting information out of
people compared to Keyaruga.

“This should be fine. I suppose it would be better to change Eve’s face too to be on the
safe side… but I like your face, so I won’t mess with it. Well then, I’m off.”
“You can even do this kind of thing. Hey, does this mean the face I’ve been seeing is
fake too?”

“Ah, yeah, it’s fake. My true face is different.”

Keyaru. That sweet girlish face is an opening for people to take advantage of.

That’s why I don’t like it.

“Someday, I’d like to see your true face. It will probably be as twisted and crooked as
your heart though.”

That’s a terrible thing to say.

Or rather, this is how she thinks of me. Even though I’m trying to act like a gentleman.

“Keyaruga-sama’s real face cool. Also looks kind, like it.”

“I agree. It makes me want to squeeze him tightly.”

Setsuna and Freia murmured, with their cheeks turning a little red.

They both have already been exposed to Keyaru’s face.

When I told them that Keyaruga’s face is fake, they begged me to show my real face in
bed.

Since then, they both liked Keyaru’s face.

It seems that it’s a face that really suits me.

Even though I threw away Keyaru’s sweetness, indecisiveness and weakness, there
might still be some remnants left in me.

“Look forward to souvenirs.”

The conversation is over. Let’s go out.

I go to the city.

I made a bit of a mistake yesterday.

I killed all the attackers, but I should have kidnapped at least one of them and
extracted information from them instead of killing them.

I’m angry that I killed them so easily since they ruined a nice tavern that served good
food.

I need to reflect on that.

If I lose my cool, all that awaits me is death. In my mind, I tell myself 『I am a revenge
demon. I’ve lost all my feelings. I just want to kill people in cold blood.』

Aah, I feel like my heart has cooled off somehow. Now I am a cold hearted revenge
demon.

As a revenge demon, I was in a coffee shop where I could see the miserable state of the
inn where I was attacked while I was enjoying my meal yesterday.

“I have to remember to buy some blankets on the way back.”

There were no such tasteful things as blankets in that abandoned house.

It made it very difficult to sleep last night.

I need to get some blankets as soon as possible for our health and a good night’s sleep.

“As I thought, there’s a commotion after all.”

The city’s popular inn with a tavern was burned to the ground.

There was a crowd of people gathered at the inn’s burned down first floor, which was
visible from the window.

I carefully search the area.

I’m looking for any members of the group that attacked yesterday.

Even if I have no information about the attackers, I can find those who are looking for
Eve. If Eve is their aim, they will surely come here.

Not only can I identify them by their gestures, I can also look for high level demons
with my Jade Eye.

But it’s boring to just stay looking at the scene, so I continue my vigilance while
enjoying tea and pastries.

Chiffon cake with plenty of fresh cream. Quite delicious.

They use milk from cows raised by the Mad Cow race.

They’re not monsters, but ordinary cows. Monster meat and milk is poisonous for
humans and demons alike, but it seems demons are more resistant. And it seems the
Mad Cow race is also good with handling ordinary cows, and the fresh cream used in
this chiffon cake is the best I’ve ever tasted.

Let’s buy some as souvenirs. I’m sure Setsuna and the others will be pleased.

“Fumu, I thought it would be fine to let the Mad Cow race die, but if they’re making
something this good, it would be a waste. I’ll let them live.”

I almost made a judgment based only on some members of the Mad Cow race.

I’ll protect them from the younger sister princess’ army as much as possible.

I ordered my second refill of tea. No suspicious people have shown up.

Have they already finished their investigation, or were yesterday’s attackers the only
ones who came to this city?

Either way, it’s a waste of time to stay here any longer. Let’s buy some chiffon cakes as
souvenirs and go back.

“No, it seems it wasn’t a waste of time. What do you want?”

I felt a killing intent behind me, so I asked without turning around.

The person behind me, without warning, thrusts a knife into my vitals.

What an impatient person.

“Unfortunately, I can see you.”

The ability I got from using Imitation Heal on the Sword Saint Kureha, All-Seeing.

I can feel everything that exists in my sword range.

I dodge the knife thrust at me by shifting my body half a step, then I take my
opponent’s outstretched arm and throw them using their own strength.

I spin the attacker around and knock them to the ground on their back, then I thrust
the knife on my pocket to their neck.

“If you move even one finger, I’ll slit your throat. I’d like you to tell me a story.”

I ask gently.

The store becomes noisy.

Seriously, I wish my attackers would at least choose the place they attack.

Couldn’t they have waited until we got to a less crowded place? This is why people
without common sense are troublesome.

To start off, the fact that they’re wearing a robe over their entire body is enough to
make them look suspicious. This isn’t like Eve, who is an amateur, this one might as
well be shouting “I am a suspicious person.”
“…Return Eve-sama. If you return her now, I can spare your life.”

A woman’s voice.

Probably in her mid to late twenties.

Eve-sama? If she calls Eve like that, she’s probably her ally.

That’s strange. Eve’s own statement and memories I read with Heal said that the
guards who had been protecting her were dead and there was no one she could count
on anymore.

Besides, how does she know I took Eve?

“I’m the one asking the questions. Don’t say anything else, just answer what I ask.”

My knife cuts her skin, shallowly.

The attacker’s heartbeat becomes louder. Her sweating increases.

This woman isn’t used to being in a situation like this. Taking into account the way she
carries herself, she’s more than second-rate, but not enough to be first-rate.

It would be quicker if I could just look into her memories with Heal. But when I use
Heal, depending on the density and content of the memories, I would be out for several
seconds.

There may be other enemies. It’s dangerous to use Heal in this situation.

“I am, Eve-sama’s-”

Just as the attacker was about to say something.

A roar rang out. The sound of footsteps. They’re not human. Louder footsteps came
from outside the window.

“No way, Ironhead Cow?!”

A single monster carrying a man of the Mad Cow race is rushing towards us at high
speeds.
The name of that monster is Ironhead Cow.

It’s a cow with a head so ridiculously hard it’s called iron head. It’s also ridiculously
large, twice the size of a horse.

Despite its enormous size, it has tremendous leg strength and can reach speeds of 100
kilometers per hour at a moment’s notice.

What happens when something big, hard and fast rushes into you?

The answer is simple.

The walls of the store shatter like they were made of sugar, and it continues rushing
towards us.

An Ironhead Cow’s full force can shatter even the walls of a castle. A coffee shop’s walls
are too thin to hold a thing like that.

He seems to be planning to hit and kill me and my attacker at the same time.

“Is that one of yours?”

“No, it’s an enemy.”

“I see.”

I punched the attacker on the jaw. That took out her consciousness.

It was starting to become a pain in the ass to listen to her. I was just thinking of
knocking her out and abducting her, then I’ll use Heal on a safe place to extract
information, and finally I kill her or discard her, so this was perfect.

Let’s take this woman and run away.

It’s already troublesome to fight an Ironhead Cow, and now I have to carry luggage.

Besides, I’ve already properly marked it. I threw a knife at the Ironhead Cow’s soft
flank. The knife was coated with a special smell that only an Ice Wolf, with their
excellent nose, can detect. Even if the knife is pulled out, the wound is soaked in the
smell, and it’ll remain for three days and nights.
As long as they’re not too far away, Setsuna’s nose will be able to follow them. Let’s
just run away quietly and carefully attack them in their sleep later.

I lept on the spot, carrying my attacker on my shoulder.

A few moments before, the Ironhead Cow plowed through the place where I had been.
It didn’t lose any momentum and the whole store was messed up.

I bit down hard on my back teeth.

“Aah, I’m getting really pissed off. What’s with these guys? They’re destroying my
favorite places one after another.”

The little known tavern that made bear meat into a delicious bear pot.

And now the good coffee shop that served chiffon cake filled with delicious cream.

I liked both of them a lot and had decided to come back after. But now I will never be
able to enjoy them again.

This is completely unacceptable.

I won’t let this Mad Cow man die easily. The same for his companions. Their lives alone
aren’t nearly enough to compensate for what they’ve done.

“I will carve my food grudge on your very bones.”

With these words and with my attacker on my shoulder, I quickly leave the store. I
choose a narrow alley and go deeper and deeper into it.

With Transformation Heal, I maximize my speed and remove my brain’s limiter to do

my best to distance myself.

Other Mad Cow people, who were on the lookout, try to run after me, but I’m too fast.
I was gone in the blink of an eye.

I went inside a random abandoned house.

I’m trespassing for the second day in a row. Even though all I wanted was to relax in a
nice inn.
“Now, what should I do with this woman?”

I roughly put down my unconscious attacker.

I know it’s definitely a woman, both from her voice and how she felt on my shoulder.

I search my surroundings for any signs of life to make sure it’s safe, then I set up a
barrier on the abandoned house.

Before she wakes up, I strip her naked and tie both her hands and feet. It would be
dangerous if she had a hidden weapon when she regained consciousness.

Just as I thought, she was hiding a lot of dangerous things.

“Surprisingly, she’s from neither the Mad Cow race or the Black Wing race.”

Since she was stripped naked, I could see her racial characteristics.

She’s from the Gold Leopard race, with golden hair and leopard ears and tail.

A race that shouldn’t be in this city. Why the Gold Leopard race is looking for Eve is an
interesting question, but I can easily find the answer with Heal.

“That’s an erotic body. It’s getting me excited.”

Setsuna, Freia and Kureha are all beautiful girls, but they’re still girls. I don’t often have
sex with adult women, so this is quite refreshing.

After a little bit of research I can say that the feel and smell are different. But, while
she is a rare adult woman, she’s a step below top-quality women like Setsuna and the
others.

But this might be a good option for trying something different once in a while.

In any case, it’s time for a fun, fun Heal.

In this situation, it’s fine to doze off for a few dozen seconds.

Let’s dig into this woman’s memories.

After all, it’s worrying that my disguise was discovered even though I changed my
appearance with Transformation Heal. My pride was seriously wounded. I need to
figure out why.

“Hmm, I see. So this woman is more or less Eve’s ally.”

The Heal has finished.

This woman’s true identity is a member of the organization that opposes the current
Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord’s commands to the demons are absolute, but it’s only the ability to
issue imperial commands and make them do as you say. It requires direct
communication and it has the drawback that it’ll naturally fade over time.

Naturally, there are those who don’t like the current Demon Lord, and there are those
who formed organizations to oppose him.

This woman’s organization is formed by a group of people who were oppressed by the
current Demon Lord.

Their goal is to make the next Demon Lord come from one of the races oppressed by
the current Demon Lord, thereby eliminating the power structure he established.

For that reason, the Demon Lord candidates of races favorited by the current Demon
Lord are killed, and on the other hand, candidates from the oppressed races are
protected.

Naturally, Eve is one of those.

Maybe it’s because of this organization that Eve was able to become Demon Lord in
the first world.

They are terrible people, trying to use a girl like Eve for their own benefit. As a sensible
person, I can’t allow such a thing to happen.

“Even so, I had no idea that the reason I was discovered even though I changed my
appearance was because of my smell. It’s an idea humans would never think about.”

It seems that this woman remembered my smell from my luggage that I left at the inn
and followed the scent on it.

Well, at any rate.

Let’s get rid of this woman. She’s not even an acquaintance of Eve, and she’s a member
of an evil organization that’s trying to kidnap her and use her.

Besides, isn’t it a hassle? An anti-Demon Lord organization. I don’t want to get caught
up in their schemes.

If such a thing exists, Eve will rely on it. I’ll lose my value. All she needs is to rely on
me. There’s no use for such organizations.

I found out one more thing. It seems that the Mad Cow man who attacked the coffee
shop that served the delicious creamed chiffon cake was trying to get rid of this
woman, not me.

In other words, if it weren’t for her, I would have been able to enjoy that cake again.
I’m getting more and more irritated.

“I had a good idea.”

Even if I get rid of her, a second or third assassin will come to try and protect Eve.

If that’s the case, I’ll make good use of this woman.

“But what should be my excuse to take revenge? That’s the problem. No, thinking
about it, shouldn’t it be fine for me to take revenge on her? She has done a lot of things.”

This woman suddenly thrust a knife towards my vitals from behind me, so she can’t
complain about whatever I do to her.

I also have a grudge over the cake. Yes, I should take revenge.

I’ve gotten various monster poisons and made some truly miraculous blends. And I’d
like to experiment my aphrodisiac that’s too strong to use on humans.
Even though she’s a demon with a strong body, it’s a 50-50 chance that she’ll become
my puppet or break and become a cripple.

Well, even if she doesn’t become a cripple, her life is over.

“Well then, let’s clear up the grudge over the food and also from when you tried to stab
me from behind.”

I chuckle as I take out several bottles from my pouch.

Tonight, I’ll ask Setsuna to follow the scent and get rid of those Mad Cows. Let’s do a
quick, fun thing that can’t be undone.

My pants feel extremely tight. Ah, I get it. I was feeling strangely aggressive today, but
that’s because Eve rejected me after I got all worked up. My libido, which had nowhere
to go, is making me go crazy.

I’ll give this woman a few shots and go back to the usual gentle and calm Keyaruga.
In the abandoned house, I played with the Gold Leopard woman who became a target
for my revenge.

Her charges were that she tried to stab my vitals from the back with a knife, and one
more.

If she had just attacked me, it wouldn’t have been some simple mischief, but with her
level of skill, it wouldn’t be harmful. Since I have such a big heart, I could have forgiven
her.

But she caused the coffee shop that served that chiffon cake with delicious cream to
go out of business. That’s no good.

No matter how good-hearted I am, there is a limit.

That’s why… I decided to be a little mean.

“Surprisingly, she broke down pretty fast.”

The new aphrodisiac seems to be too strong, and the Gold Leopard woman is
convulsing while laughing as juice drips from her hole.

As expected, even I am turned out by that.

At first, I was having fun tasting an adult woman and enjoying pleasures that were out
of this world. But I got carried away and gave her too much of the aphrodisiac, which
caused her to completely break down. I can’t play with this toy anymore.

Thanks to that, I was only able to do it once. I’m not satisfied at all.
I’ll hold off until the evening, then I’ll vent it all out on Freia and Setsuna.

Having an adult woman once in a while is fine, but those two are the best. Maybe, if I
play with Freia and Setsuna every day, Eve will get interested and want to join us. It
would be wonderful if that happened. I’ll make sure to keep showing it to Eve.

“The aphrodisiac experiment was a failure. I thought I could use a stronger one on
demons.”

This aphrodisiac can’t be used as is.

Or maybe it’s good for purposes other than an aphrodisiac.

It’s excellent that it can neutralize someone without killing them. It would be an
interesting drug if it were made stronger.

The question now is how to deal with the broken Gold Leopard woman.

My original plan was to make her my puppet and give false information to her
organization… but I’m sure they’ll be troubled if I send something like this to them.

“Let’s fix her.”

Using Heal, I restore her body to normal.

The serious brain damage is removed.

However, there is a problem.

The memories of intense pleasure are still there, and a broken mind will never return.
Even if her body heals, it’ll be difficult to live as a person.

Drugs are scary. Never use them.

“Au, aaa.”

Apparently, she can’t even speak properly.

“With your True Name… ●●● I command you. Obstruct your organization as much as
possible in the search for Demon Lord candidate Eve Reese. I don’t care how you do it.
Also, I forbid you from leaking information about me to anyone else.”

Since I had her tell me her True Name, I used it to give orders.

The troublesome thing about the True Name is that it’s meaningless even if I know it
from reading their memories with Heal. It’s necessary to hear it from the person
themselves.

When the dosage of the aphrodisiac was still small and she was able to speak properly,
I was gladly able to get her to tell me then… Thinking about it calmly, the problem with
the aphrodisiac wasn’t the strength, but rather the amount.

“Au.”

The Gold Leopard woman nods repeatedly.

I don’t know what she can do being broken like that, but at least she’ll make some kind
of move.

I’ll just let things flow naturally.

I told her to not leak information about me using her True Name, so the flames
shouldn’t blow my way.

That was a good idea on my part.

The Gold Leopard woman leaves the abandoned house.

That matter is settled now.

With some luck, she’ll be able to live like anyone else. I feel good after doing a good
deed.

“Now, let’s head back.”

I have a soft spot for women, but I have no mercy for men.

I’ll have the Mad Cow who attacked eve see hell.
With Transformation Heal, I changed my face again and left the abandoned house.

In any case, the Mad Cow saw me running away with the Gold Leopard woman on my
shoulders.

Because of that, I had to waste my magic power. Add one revenge point.

The more revenge points are accumulated, the worse the revenge target’s death will
be. By the way, princess Flare is the all-time leader in the revenge point ranking, and
she has become my convenient sex slave that can also be used for battle and is devoted
to me for the rest of her life.

I was headed for the area lined with shops.

I’m planning to attack the Mad Cows whose monsters I marked at night, but until then
I’m free. I would like to finish stocking up on blankets and food for our stay at the
abandoned house while I have time.

“What kind of hell should I make them go through? It would be boring to just inflict
pain.”

I always wonder about how to execute my revenge.

The target is a man, so I can’t do anything pleasant.

Also, as my personal aesthetic, involving the family or friends of my revenge targets is

NG. That’s just tasteless and not beautiful.

After all, they either injure me or my property. As long as they don’t put their hands
on my things, I won’t touch them.

“I’ve just had a good idea. Let’s use food to clear up the food grudge.”

I’ll make the potion I need for that.

I have just the right amount of monster poison.

I’m sure it’ll be a fun revenge.

After I finished my shopping, I returned to the hideout with plenty of stuff.

There was no disturbance in the barrier, so it seems there were no intruders.

Before I enter the house, I use Transformation Heal to change my appearance back to
Keyaruga.

This appearance fits me best.

When I returned, Freia and Setsuna ran up to me.

“Welcome back. No problems have come up in Keyaruga-sama’s absence.”

“Keyaruga-sama has lots of luggage. Carry it.”

Both of them are as obedient as well-loved dogs.

The other one is hugging her knees in the corner of the room. I guess it’ll take time for
her to get used to it.

“Warm blankets! Keyaruga-sama, thanks for buying it.”

“And some clothes too! Now we can do the laundry.”

I prepared for various other necessities other than just food and blankets.

After all, I left most of our luggage at the inn.

Today, I went to go check the room we rented, but our stuff was gone.

It was stolen as a clue to search for Eve.

Travel essentials, potions and ingredients that didn’t fit in my pouch. I ended up losing
various things.

This is also some terrible treatment… I won’t forgive them. Add two revenge points.
“Setsuna, Freia, I found a friend of the people who attacked us yesterday. I told Setsuna
about the scented throwing knife. I stabbed the monster they were using with it.
Setsuna should be able to follow the scent.”

“Un, can’t do it from here, but can probably find it after looking around city.”

“I’m counting on you. Let’s launch an attack tonight.”

“Understood. Pay for the crime attacking Keyaruga-sama with life.”

Setsuna sniffs.

She’s cute. The last thing I want is for Setsuna to become disposable. I’m quite attached
to her.

I looked at Freia, she was using magic to create water and store it in a bucket.

This is preparation to do the laundry.

“Keyaruga-sama, Setsuna-chan, Eve-chan, please change into the new clothes

Keyaruga-sama brought for us. The clothes we are wearing now are very dirty, so I’ll
wash them and dry them.”

Laundry is Freia’s job. She’s the most suited for it because she can use magic to create
water.

Watching a former princess do laundry is quite a surreal and enjoyable sight.

Freia and Setsuna take off their clothes and strip down to their underwear without
hesitation. Then, they look at the pile of clothes I just brought and start picking which
ones they like.

It’s a nice scene to watch.

“W-w-w-what are you doing taking off your clothes like that in front of a man?!”

Eve, who had stayed silent until a while ago, raised her voice.

“Setsuna is Keyaruga-sama’s propriety.”

“I’m a little embarrassed, but if it gets Keyaruga-sama in the mood… I’d be happy.”

Neither Setsuna nor Freia hesitate to show me their naked skin.

Freia takes every chance she can to tempt me.

Today, I have a lot piled up. I’ll give them lots of love.

“Setsuna, Freia, I just got in the mood. Since you’ve already taken off your clothes,
should we go for a round? Might as well try out the blanket as well.”

It’s uncomfortable to have sex on the floor.

But now we have a blanket, so this should be nice.

“Un. Can’t do it at night because attack, so do it now. Want plenty of love.”

“I also overslept today, so I couldn’t join in… so I’ve been aching a bit.”

The two of them lean towards me with moist eyes.

When Eve saw us like that, her face turned bright red.

“That’s right, Eve.”

“Y-yesh!”

The bright red Eve made a strange noise.

She looks extremely nervous.

“We’re going to be having sex from now on. You can go change in the next room. Please
put the clothes you’re currently wearing together so it’s easier to wash. I brought a lot
of clothes, so choose what you like.”

Eve was quite angry with me because of the morning incident, so I had no choice but
to increase the number of rooms inside the barrier to two.

Even though I was trying to be considerate of her, Eve looked stunned for a moment,
tilted her head and puffed her cheeks.
“W-why are you doing that kind of thing now?”
“Eve complained about us doing it in the same room as you, so I extended the barrier,
and now you’re complaining more… or were you expecting me to invite you?”

When I say that, her red face turns even redder.

It seems I hit the bull’s-eye. Her eyes got teary when I started to laugh at her.

“I don’t care!”

She takes a random handful of clothes and leaves the room.

She’s a girl who’s really worth teasing.

I see Eve off with a smile.

Now it’s time for the three of us to get started.

I’m sure Eve is also interested.

My All-Seeing can see that Eve is pressing her ear against the wall in the next room.

At this rate, it won’t be long before Eve asks to join us.

I just need an opportunity. A dramatic episode that will make Eve fall in love with me.
Once that happens, Eve, who is very interested in sex, will use her love as an excuse to
ask me to hold her.

Such a convenient event probably won’t happen easily, but if necessary, I can make it
happen.

“Keyaruga-sama, not yet?”

“It’s terrible to make us wait more.”

Setsuna and Freia can’t wait any longer.

It can’t be helped, I’ll give them plenty of love.

Well, time to do my best. I’ll make Freia and Setsuna moan more than usual to serve
as a small dish for Eve, who’s consoling herself while pressing her ear against the wall.
How kind of me. I’m sure Eve will also be pleased.

After having quite a fun time, we had dinner and then went out into the city once it
was completely dark.

After everything was over, Eve came back with a bright red face and smelling naughty.

It’s funny that she thinks she hasn’t been discovered. I’ll continue to provide material
for Eve to enjoy alone. Sooner or later, she’ll want the real me.

This time, I’m taking Setsuna with me.

Freia and Eve stayed back. I can’t bring Eve out in front of the enemy, and I can’t leave
her alone either.

“Keyaruga-sama, found the scent. Can trace it from here.”

“Good girl. As a reward, I’ll buy you sweets tomorrow.”

“Looking forward to it.”

With Setsuna leading the way, we search for the Mad Cows’ hideout.

They set up a tent in the forest outside the city.

Around the tent, an Ironhead Cow was sleeping.

“Arrived.”

“Let’s get started right away.”

There’s no lookout.

This attack will be easy.

Alright, let’s do something interesting.

We approach the sleeping Ironhead Cow. Even though it’s literally an iron headed cow,
the neck isn’t hard.

I inserted a syringe’s needle on its neck and injected the drug into it. It’s the original
solution of the aphrodisiac that destroyed the Gold Leopard woman.

Now, how will it react?

“Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

The Ironhead Cow gets up and roars.

It’s busily snorting with its nose.

It’s looking for something.

Then, it started at the tent.

“…I thought of it as a joke, but I didn’t expect it to actually happen.”

The Ironhead Cow lunges for the tent.

The tent falls apart, the Ironhead Cow shakes off the remains of the tent looking
annoyed, only to come out with a man of the Mad Cow race in its mouth.

It threw the man to the ground, broke his arms and legs with its front legs and then
sat down on him.

The Mad Cow’s man hip bones shatter, and his screams echo through the air.

“Keyaruga-sama, what’s that?”

“I tried injecting an aphrodisiac into its veins. The Ironhead Cow is a monster that only
has females… It went into heat and searched for a male cow like itself, and this is the
result.”

It’s quite an interesting spectacle.

It seems to prefer demons to humans. The Ironhead Cow didn’t even pay attention to
me as it attacked the Mad Cow men one after another.

The most hilarious scene was spreading before my eyes.

But I’m getting tired of it. So let’s move to the main dish.

I won’t forgive them with just this much.

The Mad Cow men are being attacked by the Ironhead Cow.

They were also being reversed raped by the cow.

But unfortunately, the size was too different in many ways, and tragically the men were
being crushed.

I watched it while hiding in the trees of the forest with Setsuna.

This is the most hilarious spectacle and it’s hard not to laugh.

And I’m the one who caused it.

As a result of giving an aphrodisiac to the Ironhead Cow, it’s attacking the bull demons,
as if any bull will do. Demons have the power to control monsters, but they can’t
control the Ironhead Cow, who’s already lost itself.

“So it also works on monsters, that aphrodisiac.”

I’m surprised at how crazy the Ironhead Cow went. I see, it’s understandable that the
Gold Leopard woman was easily broken.

This aphrodisiac should be used with care. I shouldn’t use it unless I intend to break
the person.

It’s a shame. I was thinking of using it on Sword Saint Kureha next time and enjoy
various plays, but she would turn into a cripple if I used it. She’s useful and attractive.
It would be a shame to break her. She’s one of my favorites.
The Ironhead Cow pushed the Mad Cow man down and continued to shake its hips.
But its movements were gradually getting slower and in the end it finally blacked out
with the white of its eyes showing.

It seems that the drug has gone too far.

The Mad Cow survivors, who had been running until a few minutes ago, are now
grabbing their weapons and trying to finish off the Ironhead Cow.

What a terrible thing to do to your precious pet. Pets are family too. Don’t they have
any blood or tears to put their hands on their own family?

“Setsuna, let’s surprise the guys who are busy taking care of the Ironhead Cow. You
take the left. Kill without hesitation.”

“Understood. Quickly kill them.”

Only four Mad Cow men were unharmed. The rest were either killed by the Ironhead
Cow or are dying due to fatal injuries.

I’ll let Setsuna kill two of the four. Two of them are enough as a source of information
and toys for revenge.

Neutralizing someone without killing them is much more difficult than just killing
them normally, and the risk is too big to leave it to Setsuna. I can’t put my precious
Setsuna at risk.

That’s why I’ll do it.

With all this commotion, it’s hard to imagine there’s soldiers waiting in ambush.
What’s in front of us now is probably all the enemy has.

Setsuna prepares for battle with an ice claw on her hand. We look at each other, nod,
and then leap out.

I’m able to run silently by using an elite assassin’s abilities I got through Heal, while
Setsuna can do it thanks to the flexible muscles unique to the Ice Wolves. Setsuna is a
natural hunter. She has an amazing aptitude for surprise attacks like this.

The Mad Cow men, distracted by the Ironhead Cow, didn’t notice us approaching
silently from their blindspot.

Setsuna took the first move by approaching the Mad Cow men and slashing with both
hands with a flash. She aimed at a different target with each hand.

Her ice claws are as sharp as blades crafted by an elite blacksmith. She cut through
their carotid artery and blood gushed out like a fountain. The two Mad Cow fall, unable
to even scream.

A brilliant move. There’s no more efficient way to kill with a single move. I feel like
applauding her.

I can’t lose either.

“Blood, blooooooood!”

“Who are you?”

A survivor noticed the fountain of blood and looked at Setsuna.

An opening.

I have a cloth in my hand. That cloth is soaked with fast-acting sleeping medicine. It’s
so powerful that one wrong move is all you need to never wake up again, but it’s fine
if it fails. It would be a shame that I couldn’t play more, but that’s it.

I would have liked to experiment beforehand, but I just couldn’t bring myself to try
such a dangerous thing on myself.

Of course, experimenting on the cute Setsuna or the convenient Freia is out of the
question.

For human experiments, I can only use trash that it’s fine even if they die.

I approach the Mad Cow, who is wary of Setsuna, from behind and press a cloth over
their mouth, causing them to convulse and faint. I incapacitate the other in the same
manner.

“Yeah, it’s a good medicine. It makes it much easier to catch them alive.”
Well, their hearts are still beating for now, so they’re not dead.

The only question is whether there was any serious brain damage.

“Setsuna, good job. You’ve improved again.”

“Feel light because level increased. And teaching Freia refreshed basics.”

“It’s because Setsuna teaches seriously. It wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t. You’re
great, Setsuna.”

“Un.”

I approached Setsuna and patted her head.

Then, Setsuna blushed and nodded. She’s cute as usual.

As soon as I separated from her, I took care of the people who were still dying from
being attacked by the Ironhead Cow.

“Now, let’s quickly get some information. We need to know if they’re the only ones
after Eve in this city. If it’s just them, we can return to an inn and a normal life.”

Living in an abandoned house is quite inconvenient.

I brought a blanket, but I still want to have sex comfortably in a soft bed.

“Torture, Setsuna can help.”

“I appreciate it. If some of them were out, they might come back, so let’s move
somewhere for now. Setsuna, can you tell by smell if any of them are coming?”

“Mad Cow smell very unique. Almost no wind tonight, so can tell even from far. At least,
no one in a few hundred meters, and know if they get close.”

How reliable. I can’t get this superior sense of smell with Imitation Heal.

After all, if I’m going to make a friend, it should be a demi-human or a demon. Eve of
the Black Wings might have some special skills humans don’t have, so I’ll talk to her
about various things.
Now then, let’s start with the torture.

From a quick look, it seems that the Mad Cows are going to wake up fine. But that was
a close one. If the concentration had been slightly higher, I would have killed them
instead.

The sleeping medicine I used this time should be diluted a little. Even the Mad Cows,
who are stupidly strong, are like this. If I had used it on humans they would have been
dead. As I thought, human experimentation is important.

From now on, I’ll make a hobby of collecting data by giving my potions to scum who
it’s fine even if they die. It’s a fun game that’s both a hobby and brings practical
benefits.

We move to a place deep in the forest.

Now’s the time for fun, fun revenge.

Let’s summarize their charges. They shot a ritual fire magic at Eve. Of course, I was in
the area of effect, and not only that, the cute Setsuna and convenient Freia were also
in a position where they could have been involved.

It wasn’t their intention to kill us, but we suffered a lot of damage as a result.

Second, they destroyed the tavern that made the delicious bear pot. The bear stew was
delicious, but the snacks themselves were also high quality, and the local alcohol of
this city was also impressive. I had planned to go there every day, but because of these
guys it ended with me only going once.

I still remember it in my dreams. The menu was lined with delicious-looking food that
I had never seen before. I will never be able to eat any of those again because of these
guys.

In other words, these guys are villains who deserve to die.

“Keyaruga-sama, this enough?”

“Yeah, thank you.”

I asked Setsuna to dig deep into the ground.

Ice magic is useful. Setsuna skillfully created a shovel of ice and used all of her
incredible physical abilities to dig a hole as deep as 5 meters in one go.

I throw the Mad Cow men into the hole. These tough guys won’t die from that.

To prevent them from escaping, I cut the Achilles tendon on their legs and crushed
their hands. Even the Mad Cow race, who have a high self-healing power, can’t heal
itself from this.

Also, I used my alchemy magic to make the inside of the hole hard and smooth so that
you can’t climb with your fingers.

“Well, I guess it’s about time to wake up.”

I’m kind, so I used Heal on them. I neutralized a bit of the sleeping medicine and, by
my calculations, they should wake up in the next 30 seconds.

Alright, they woke up.

“Where are we?!”

“We were attacked, it huuuuuurts!”

“What the hell is this? My legs, my haaaaaands!”

When they regain consciousness, they write in agony from the pain they feel on their
legs and hands.

I waited for them to calm down to some extent and then looked into the hole. To think
they were able to calm down after such a short time despite the situation, as expected
of the people who the Demon Lord sent to attack Eve.

“Good evening, Mad Cow people.”

“You’re, the one who saved that girl…”

“Yes, I am the knight of justice who protects weak girls, Keyaruga.”

He remembered my face.

I was right when I thought there was a lookout in addition to the attacker.

“Don’t mess around! What knight of justice, are you retarded?!”

“Rude. I’m quite normal. In fact, there’s no one in the world more normal than I am.
Now, do you understand your current situation? I think it would be wise to consider
it before speaking.”

The men kept silent.

Then, they came to a conclusion.

The person who had set the Ironhead Cow in heat was right in front of them, and all
their friends have been killed except for themselves.

And they themselves were in a place where escape was impossible and their hands
and legs wouldn’t work.

In short, their lives are in my hands.

“You, you said your name is Keyaruga. There must be a reason why you’re keeping us
alive.”

Smart. He seems to understand it well.

“I have something I want to ask you. Are you the only group in this city that’s after
Eve?”

“If I answer, will you let us out of here?”

“Yes, I promise. I don’t lie.”

My motto is to be humble and honest, so I try to avoid lying as much as possible. I only
lie to protect myself or to please a cute girl, but that’s just the way it is.

“…We’re the only ones in this city who are after the Demon Lord candidate. If you let
us out of here, we promise to never touch the Demon Lord candidate or you again.”

More revenge points have been added. Too bad, the points have reached a certain
value, so the killing method became a rank more cruel.

He lied.

Now there’s no choice left but to let him fall into hell. The interrogation is just a hobby,
I’ve already gotten all the information from Heal.

In addition to them, there are outlaws of the Night Dog* race, who are working for the
Demon Lord, and they’re backing up the Mad Cows.

He knew it and didn’t say it.

“That’s strange, one of your friends said something about a Night Dog spy… If you had
told the truth, I could have helped you. Oh well. You got what you deserved. You should
just die there.”

I laugh.

The Mad Cow men’s faces are filled with despair.

People are so strange, they despair a lot more when their death was caused by their
own actions rather than by something unreasonable.

I went through the trouble of putting on an act just for that reason.

Well, to be honest, I was going to kill them whether they told the truth or not… But I’ll
let them die in regret.

“W-we were at the bottom, so we didn’t know. It’s the truth. I didn’t mean any harm.”

That’s not good.

Another lie. This guy is the deputy leader and knows everything. It makes me angry
that he thinks I’ll fall for this kind of lie.

“I understand. I’ll believe you. But there must be some kind of penalty.”
I told Setsuna to make it rain a lot of ice. From this height, it must hurt a lot, and I could
hear screams coming from inside the hole.

After a while, the ice has accumulated in the hole.

Since I made the hole smooth with my alchemy magic, so, when the ice melts, the hole
will be properly filled with water thanks to my design.

“Now, this is your punishment for trying to deceive me. I’ll allow you to get out of the
hole, but only after two weeks. Hopefully, you can survive until then. There’s plenty of
water, so you should be able to make it.”

I turned my back on them.

“W-wait. Even if we have water, we can’t survive without food.”

“Those who robbed the world of a tavern that served delicious food need to learn the
value of food. And you will learn it here.”

This punishment is intended to make these guys learn the true value of food.

If they knew the true value of food, they would have attacked us after we left the
tavern, instead of attacking us at the tavern that served such delicious meals.

In a way, I feel sorry for these guys. So I’ll teach them to appreciate food. I feel good
after doing a good deed.

“No, we’re definitely going to starve!”

I heard one of them yell.

Hmm, that’s strange. Isn’t there enough food? There’s such fine beef.

“If one of you becomes food, the other should be able to last two weeks. Well, good
luck… Setsuna, let’s go. Uun, I feel refreshed. I properly took revenge for the food.”

“Un, today was tiring.”

In the distance, I hear the sounds of fighting.

The one who was silent during the conversation with me seemed to be quite upset,
saying that it was the other’s fault that this happened, so he should become the victim.

Wow, are you seriously going to eat him? That’s disgusting. Even if they survive for
two weeks, I have no intention of helping, so it’s pointless.

I left the forest with a smile on my face. After all, this revenge (game) was the most fun
I’ve had.

*If you go back to volume 2 chapter 21, you’ll see that the Night Dogs are mentioned
as a demi-human race. In the web novel version of this volume, the Night Dogs are
mentioned as a demon race, but that was removed from the light novel version
because they can’t be both demi-humans and demons. I expected the race mentioned
here to change, but it didn’t, so I interpreted it as outlaws from the Night Dog demi-
human race are working for the Demon Lord, in case anyone got confused like I did.
We returned to the city feeling refreshed after having dealt with the Mad Cow men
that were under the Demon Lord’s influence.

I feel good after doing a good thing. Now, Eve won’t be attacked for the time being.

Of course, we also attacked and crushed the Night Dogs who were collaborating with
the Mad Cows. From the information I obtained through Heal, I was able to confirm
that they were involved in the previous attack, so I was able to destroy them without
any problems.

Because they’re in charge of the intelligence network, they’re not gathered in one
place and I couldn’t deal with them all at once, but they aren’t the kind of people who
would attack directly, so I know that, to some extent, it won’t be a problem to leave
them alone.

They’ll probably stay quiet for a while, and while at it, they’ll probably call for a
replacement of the Mad Cows.

That’s exactly what I’m aiming for.

Both the Mad Cows and the Night Dogs were only just doing dirty work under regular
orders, so they didn’t have the information I needed to attack the Demon Lord.

If the Night Dogs were being attacked by someone dangerous enough to wipe out the
Mad Cows, they would call in a suitably powerful force.

The stronger they are, the better information they’ll have. If I destroy them, there’s a
high possibility that they’ll have information that will lead me to the Demon Lord.

“Keyaruga-sama, looks like having fun.”

“I feel like I just removed a fishbone from my throat. It’s exhausting, thinking that
there’s people in the city that want to kill us. Besides, now we can get a place to stay.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”

Considering that we have eliminated the threat and there will be some time before the
reinforcements called by the Night Dogs arrive, we can stay at the inn with dignity.

It’s much more comfortable than an abandoned house.

Plus, the food will be better.

It would be wonderful if they served good food like the tavern that was destroyed.

With those thoughts in mind, we hurried home.

“Uwaa, it’s a soft, fluffy bed. As I thought, a bed is better than a blanket.”

Freia jumped on the bed.

Even though we’ve only been hiding in the abandoned house for two days, it seems
she missed a bed a lot.

“I’m glad we found a nice place to stay.”

“Yes, I can smell the sun in these sheets.”

After spending the night in the abandoned house, we looked for a place to stay.

While shopping at a store, we asked for recommendations for lodging.

“This place is clean and the sheets are properly dried in the sun. Yeah, it was worth
paying good money.”

At least the room gets a passing grade.

As long as the quality of the built-in dining room and bar are good, then I’ll have no
complaints.
“Keyaruga-sama, what are you going to do now?”

“I guess we’ll stay in this city until we can go get the divine bird that will become Eve’s
pet. In the meantime, I’d like to collect some information and earn some money. We
had a lot of unplanned expenses since our luggage was taken away.”

The cloaks, tents and preserved food we had prepared for the trip. The items we had
left in our room were taken.

That was quite a hard blow on me, since my motto is to not skimp on things we need
for our trip and get the best I can.

I would like to buy new things in this city, but I’ll need money to pay for them.

“I’m going to buy some travel gear and a staff today. Freia’s staff looks seriously bad.”

“That’s right! This current staff is already dangerous to use, and I’ve been wanting a
new one for a long time.”

Even before we came to this city, Freia’s staff was at its limit.

Using magic to repel that recent attack wore it down even more.

I’ll have to buy a new one quickly.

I left our luggage at the inn, put our valuables in my pouch, and now we’re ready to go.

“Hmm, Keyaruga.”

“What is it, Eve?”

Eve called out to me in a timid manner.

“As I thought, you only render a single room.”

“There are two beds, and with the size of this room, we should be able to stay here
comfortably, right?”

“…Are you planning to rent another room? You see, Keyaruga and the others do their
stuff even when I’m around, so it’s a little awkward.”
This morning as well, when Setsuna and I started our morning routine, this sullen girl
went to the next room and listened, pressing her ear against the wall and comforting
herself.

She’s not lying by saying it’s awkward, but the biggest reason is because she’s troubled
since she can’t comfort herself in the same room as us.

“No. Eve, we just attacked the enemies we can see now, but more will show up. It’s
easier to protect you if we stay in the same room.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Besides, renting two rooms costs extra money. I’m the one supporting Eve’s food,
clothing and shelter. Eve wants me to spend extra money without paying me
anything?”

“Uu, it’s hard to hear that.”

Eve is broke. I pay for all her living expenses.

She has a lot of common sense. So this kind of nail-piercing commenting is effective.

“I’ll consider it if you pay me with your body. Shall we start tonight?”

“That’s putting the cart before the horse.”

Damn, she’s onto me. I thought she would go with the flow since she’s a bit weak-
minded.

“Fine! I’ll stay in the same room with you guys! But maybe you can be a little more
considerate?! Let me go out while you guys are doing it!”

“…Do you want to die? A girl who’s being targeted going out alone at night? Night’s the
time you need to be with us the most.”

How reckless.

I’m surprised that she came up with such an idea after being attacked in such a showy
way.
“Uu… then, maybe you can hold back a little?”

“Why should I hold back for Eve’s sake? Besides… if we reduce the number of times,
I’ll feel sorry for Setsuna and Freia.”

“Un. Even now too few. Want Keyaruga-sama to love more.”

“I’m the happiest when Keyaruga-sama is holding me.”

They both blush as they grab onto my right and left arms respectively.

“That’s how it is. Majority vote, even though I’m sorry for Eve, you’ll have to deal with
it. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. Setsuna and Freia’s moans will start to sound like
a lullaby.”

“It won’t though?!”

As usual, teasing Eve is as pleasant as ever.

Eventually, I’d like to add Eve and do it with three girls. That day is probably not too
far away.

Now, I’ve had enough fun with Eve, let’s go shopping.

We came to a shop to get traveling tools and a staff.

I could feel eyes watching us from afar.

Probably survivors of the Night Dogs.

I wonder if they plan to attack me. I’d rather be attacked here than in a bar.

“That tent looks good.”

“Ooh, I like it. As expected of a city where humans and demons coexist.”

Setsuna pointed to a foldable tent.

But, it’s made from the skin and bones of monsters.

The fabric is thinner and lighter than the tents I’ve used in the past, but it’s stronger,
doesn’t get dirty easily, and it repels water as well.

The bones of the tent are made from real bones, it’s not a metaphor, and it’s light,
flexible and strong. Truly a dream material.

The technique for making the tent isn’t from the demons, but rather from the humans.
It’s a fusion of the demons’ knowledge of monster materials and human techniques.

When I see something like this, it makes me think that demons and humans coexisting
is a wonderful thing.

It’s also highly rated for its reasonable price.

I didn’t hesitate to purchase it. This is so good that I would consider buying it even if I
hadn’t lost my luggage.

“Keyaruga-sama, I found a nice staff. It fits my hands well.”

I hear Freia’s voice from across the street.

It was a store run by a demon, and it had a variety of weapons, armor and medicine.

“A staff made from a branch of a Bloodstained Tree and decorated with a monster’s
feathers. And I can barely afford the price. We won’t be able to buy it at this price in
other cities… and there’s no problem with the quality. Good. It’s a bargain. Shall we
buy it?”

“Yay! This is the first time I hear of a Bloodstained Tree. Is it an amazing tree?”

“It’s a tree that grows using blood as nourishment. It was probably raised with a lot of
monster blood. The Bloodstained Trees change the way they grow depending on the
blood they absorb. Probably, this one was cultivated by demons with plenty of blood
so it became the best material for a staff.”

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to do something like this. Considering the
time and effort, it’s too cheap.
It’s a tree that’s not found anywhere humans live, so cultivating it is a feat only possible
to demons who can control monsters at will.

“Nii-san, you have good eyes. That’s right! This staff was made from a tree grown by
regularly feeding it the blood of Shakuya birds, which is also where the feathers came
from. When it absorbs the blood of a Shakuya bird, you can create the best staff that’s
durable and easy to manipulate magic power. It’s a gem rarely seen anywhere else.”

It’s true, a staff of this quality isn’t easy to find.

Even though I’ll spend most of the money I got from curing the strange disease, I
definitely can’t miss this.

“Alright, I’ll buy it.”

“Thank you very much!”

I give him a few gold coins and buy the staff.

“Thank you, Keyaruga-sama. I’ll treasure Keyaruga-sama’s gift.”

Freia happily hugged the staff tightly.

“That would be great. Freia, can you put some mana into the staff for a bit?”

“Yes!”

Freia puts all her magic into the staff.

Even though Freia is putting all her mana into it, it doesn’t seem to creak or be
damaged.

This wouldn’t happen with an ordinary staff.

The demon merchant’s eyes widened when he saw Freia’s extraordinary magic power.
That’s how amazing Freia’s magic is.

“Next, try circulating it. Use the same method you use when releasing a spell.”

“I’ll try.”
“Hmm, there seems to be some resistance. Lend me your staff, I’ll fix it.”

“Please take care of it!”

When the magic circulated, I could see there was some resistance in the magic circuit.

Resistance not only lowers the power, it also damages the staff itself.

The resistance must be removed to improve the staff’s performance and to make it
last longer.

I receive the staff from Freia.

A staff made from magic wood like this will have the magic circuits formed in the staff
itself.

I use alchemy magic to tune the magic circuits and make the mana flow smoothly and
optimally.

Alright, the resistance is gone.

“Freia, try circulating your mana once more.”

“Yes! This is amazing! It’s much smoother than before! With this, I can use any spell I
want.”

“That’s good. Then, let’s go to the next store.”

As I thought, the abilities and knowledge of an Alchemist and alchemy magic are
useful.

As expected, it was worth using Imitation Heal on the best Alchemist in Jioral
Kingdom. It’s useful in many ways.

Now that we got the staff, we should buy the rest of the traveling gear and make a plan
to earn money for the journey while at it.

At this rate, we’re going to run out of money after staying in the inn for another week.

“Wai-, nii-san, wait a minute. Can I look at that staff?”

“I don’t mind, I guess.”

The merchant called out to me and I told Freia to give him the staff.

“Hou, this is amazing. This has become a special-grade product. Nii-san, you got some
serious skills for someone so young.”

“If you’re satisfied, I’d like you to give it back.”

“Wait a minute. I want to discuss business. I have two more staffs here. If you tune
them as well, I’ll give you a third of your money back.”

I think about it for a little.

It would be nice to get a third of the money back.

And from what he said, the ones lined up here are second-grade items.

You can take a number of branches from a single tree and make them into staffs, but
they’re probably classified according to their magic power convergence and
circulation performance. The ones he’s showing me have inferior circulation
performance, so they were judged as second-grade items.

No wonder they are so cheap for the materials that were used.

So, if the circulation performance can be improved, they can be sold as special-grade
products. The merchant probably approached me with that in mind.

“I can’t accept one third. Make it half. If you give back half of what I paid, I’ll deal with
the other two.”

“Nii-san, aren’t you too greedy?”

“No way. Even if you gave it all back to me, you’d still make it all back. Even half is a big
profit, but a third is overcharging me.”

“…So you’re a customer who knows that much? Fine, I’ll give you half back.”

I quickly tuned the two staffs the merchant gave to me and handed them to the
merchant, who checked them to make sure they were in good quality. He’s cautious. I
like him.

“I’m really impressed with your skills. Nii-san, who are you?”

“Just a humble traveler.”

“There’s no way.”

The merchant laughs and tosses me a bag of gold coins.

It’s half of what I paid before.

“This is a bonus.”

He throws me a thin sword.

I pull it out of the sheath, revealing a beautiful mythril blade.

“I made a little too much money. If I let you leave like that, my reputation as a merchant
would cry. The sword on nii-san’s waist is already screaming. I won’t say anything bad
about it, so just use the sword I gave you.”

“Even though you tried to rip me off more at first.”

“It’s one thing to rip off a stupid amateur, but it’s different with someone who knows
what they’re talking about. Just take it.”

“Thanks.”

The sword I’ve been using until now is the one I borrowed from the royal guard
captain, and I’ve been using it for a long time.

It was old to begin with, and using the sword recklessly caused the metal to be worn
out and it’s no longer possible to fix it.

A new sword will be a great help.

After that, I had a short chat with the merchant.

We also discussed some business.

There are some deals, like these staffs, that it looks like we can both benefit from.

The conversation continued, and we promised to have a drink together this evening
for a business meeting. He said he would introduce me to a restaurant with good local
food and alcohol.

It was an unexpected and nice encounter.

Above all… I like this guy. He’s a nice guy and honest as a merchant. He’s fun to talk to.

While I was thinking about that, the city became noisy.

Something was coming towards the central street.

I head in that direction.

Then, there were hundreds of knights marching in a splendid formation. And at the
center of them was a carriage bearing the royal crest.

“The younger sister princess… so you’ve finally arrived.”

The person who I believe to be the mastermind behind the attack on my village has
arrived.

The most ruthless, cunning and poisonous woman in Jioral Kingdom.

The strategist I fear most in the world.

She’s the second princess of Jioral Kingdom, her name is Norn Clatalissa Jioral.
At last, the long awaited prey has arrived.

The younger sister princess… the army led by Norn Clatalissa Jioral came to this city.

I got the abilities of Presence Concealment and Magic Concealment from using
Imitation Heal and now I’m using them with Transformation Heal, and I moved about
a kilometer away from here. I found a tall building and climbed to the roof by kicking
up the wall.

I also activated my Jade Eye to strengthen my eyesight and observed them from far
away while eliminating any signs of my presence.

Even at such a distance, I can read each and every one of their expressions with my
Jade Eye.

The number of soldiers is about 1,000.

But there’s something more surprising.

“What strength. Princess Norn is serious about this.”

Even though it’s a large force of 1,000 people, many of them are incredibly high level.

It all made sense when I saw the symbol engraved in their armor. Those are knights of
the honorable Holy Lance chivalric order. They are one of the top five elite units in
Jioral Kingdom.

It’s quite a bold move for the knights of the Holy Lance to leave Jioral Kingdom just to
capture a single city.

It would be extremely difficult to break through them head-on like we’ve done with
the small fry up until now.
Even for me, I’m sure I would have the tables flipped on me if I just rushed into the
knights of the Holy Lance without a plan.

If I’m going to aim at the younger sister princess, I’ll need a plan.

“…I could spine her from here.”

Even though the younger sister princess isn’t showing her face, the royal crest is
engraved on the carriage running ahead, protected by knights.

There’s a high probability that the younger sister princess is in that one.

By combining a few abilities, I can use my old sword, which I was about to throw away,
as artillery for long-range shooting.

With that power, I could blow up an entire carriage.

…No, let’s not do that. If I do it, they’ll just mistake it for an attack from demons and
that will create an opportunity to destroy this city.

Besides, even though I have my suspicions against princess Norn of this world, I don’t
know that she has done anything against me.

Taking revenge in this situation is against my aesthetics.

First of all, the fact that she has entered the city so openly suggests that she has been
invited as a guest. At least for now, this city is welcoming her.

Princess Norn would use any means to create an excuse to force her way in, but I won’t
help her do her job.

My heart is making a loud and unpleasant sound. It’s not stopping.

Sweat was pouring out of me.

Among the knights, I saw someone I couldn’t believe.

To think she’d be here. I was planning to find her to take revenge.

But I didn’t expect to find her here.

My vision turns red. The irresistible urge to kill swelled up and leaked out.

One of the knights noticed my killing intent and looked my way. He was a man in his
prime amongst the knights, dressed in a stylish red outfit without armor.

“Are you serious?”

I was a kilometer away, but he still noticed the leaked killing intent and looked my way.
Can you even notice leaked killing intent from that distance? You monster.

In a panic, I jumped down the roof.

“Haahaa, even the Hawkeye-sama of the Three Heroes is here as well?”

In Jioral Kingdom, overwhelmingly strong people are given special names.

For example Sword Saint. Another Example is the Bow God. Amongst those who have
been given special names, there are three who are even stronger than the rest. Those
are the Three Heroes. Hawkeye is one of them.

Even the power of the Sword Saint Kureha Clyret hasn’t reached that of the Three
Heroes.

That alone shows how extraordinary they are.

In her case, it might be because she’s too young, inexperienced and lacking in military
prowess, but I have to think of them as equal to or greater than Kureha if I’m going to
challenge them.

His presence has increased the difficulty of attacking the younger sister princess.

“Damn, am I an idiot?”

I can’t believe I let my killing intent escape during reconnaissance.

It usually wouldn’t be noticed. It’s just that Hawkeye is abnormal.

But a mistake is a mistake.

Because of that mistake, Hawkeye will become even more cautious.

“There’s no way I could have suppressed my emotions. She was right in front of me.”

The reason I got upset was because I spotted the Sword Hero in the formation.

At first glance, she looks like a handsome young man dressed in elegant armor.

But in reality, she’s a woman who hates men.

Even though she hates men, she dresses like one to attract women.

In the first world, that woman was obsessed with Flare.

That Flare was attached to me because she enjoyed bullying me and treating me like
a dog. That woman didn’t like it and was jealous of me, so she continued to abuse me.

Her punching and kicking me was a common occurrence… My dignity as a man was
trampled to the extreme.

When I see her, my whole body trembles.

It’s fear. Even now, the pain and humiliation that she has etched on my mind binds me.

I should have been reborn. I threw away the gentle and naive Keyaru and became
Keyaruga, stronger than anyone else. And yet, I’m still miserable and frightened. I can’t
allow this to happen.

If I don’t kill her, I can’t move on.

…I will kill her by any means necessary. No, I won’t just kill her. I won’t be freed from
her curse unless my revenge is strong enough to break it.

“How do I make that homosexual bitch go to hell?”

I will do to her what she hates most. Until she begs me to kill her.

To do that, I need to create a reason for revenge.

That’s easier said than done.

No matter the situation, Sword Hero Blade will search for women when she’s in the
city. I’ll let her devour one of my precious women. That will give me the motive for
revenge.

There are two ways Blade gets her hands on women. First, she disguises herself as a
handsome young man and tries to seduce her normally. If she succeeds, she takes her
home and reveals that she’s a woman, and at that point, she takes her by force,
regardless of her resistance.
The second way, if she fails to seduce the girl. In that case, if it’s a girl she doesn’t really
like, she’ll let her go, but if she took a liking to her, she forcibly kidnaps her, takes her
to her room, and rapes her. She’s scum who even uses drugs. She always has dangerous
drugs with her, and she’ll try to get women even if they are unwilling to bend to her
will.

It doesn’t matter if they have a lover or a child. If she wants a woman, she’ll get her.
Nothing else matters.

She’s genuine scum. She never thinks about the feelings of the people she’s trampled
like that. Because she’s unable to recognize that people other than herself matter, she’s
able to ignore everything except what makes her feel good.

I don’t know any psychopaths as stereotypical as she is.

“Should I use Setsuna and Eve as bait?”

I can’t use Freia as bait for that lesbian scum because she might notice that she’s
actually princess Flare.

Normally, I’d use Freia for something as dangerous like this, since I don’t care if she’s
broken, but I can’t take the risk of her being discovered as the princess.

I have no choice but to use Setsuna and Eve, who cannot be replaced. They are the
most beautiful girls in the world. If I place them in front of her, she’ll definitely bite.

But, even if it’s for the sake of revenge, am I willing to put Setsuna and Eve in danger?

I don’t want Setsuna and Eve to get hurt. I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.
That’s how much I’ve become attached to those girls.

What should I do…?

While I was wondering, the group of knights seemed to have reached the lord’s
mansion in the center of the city.

At least that lesbian bitch can’t come out to the city tonight. Let’s take this time to
decide what to do.

But I can say one thing: now that I’ve found her, there’s no way I’m going to let her live.
That’s it.

There should be no movement today.

There’s no point in staying here any longer.

Suppressing my feelings, I disappear into the darkness.

Let’s switch my mindset. First, I have a business meeting with the merchant I just met.
After completing my reconnaissance, I moved on because I had an appointment to
drink with the merchant who sold me the staff in the afternoon.

Finally, the shaking stopped. With this, no one should think I’m suspicious anymore.

Even though we would be drinking, I couldn’t let my mind waver. It was also a business
meeting to earn some money in this city.

As the number of people increased with Eve, the more it costs for us to travel. I want
to make a lot of money here.

This time, I brought along the three girls, Freia, Setsuna and Eve.

The merchant told me to bring all the pretty girls I wanted, so I took advantage of his
generosity.

By the way, I had Eve wear a light disguise. She was wearing a wig and light makeup
to change the impression of her face.

Also, she was wearing loose-fitting clothes to hide her wings, which she is very proud
of.

Her wings become surprisingly small when they are folded up and squeezed together,
so she doesn’t look unnatural. A robe covering her entire body would have stood out,
so I bought the clothes Freia suggested. It was a pretty good fit and she looked cute.

“Yo, nii-san. Welcome.”

“I don’t know any shops that serve good food.”

When I entered the restaurant, the merchant popped his head out of the private room,
so I headed that way and took a seat.
At this shop, you can use a private room if you pay an extra fee.

The general seats were already packed full even though it was early in the day to drink.

This shows how popular this restaurant is.

“You’re not to be taken lightly, nii-san. You brought three of the most beautiful girls
I’ve ever seen.”

“Yeah, they’re too good for me.”

“Then, let’s get started. First, a drink. This is the local alcohol of this city. We can’t start
before drinking this.”

The merchant holds up a bottle.

He pours a generous amount into a cup.

“This alcohol has a fruity aroma.”

“It’s made from wild grapes. It’s quite good. Take a sip before toasting.”

“I’ll take your word for it.”

The sweet and sour aroma from the wild grapes stimulates my nostrils. I thought it
would be a sweet alcohol, but it’s refreshing and easy to drink with just a hint of
sweetness and moderate acidity.

“It’s not as sweet as I thought. It seems it’ll go well with food.”

“Yup. I don’t have a habit of ordering alcohol that can’t be drunk with meat. I’ve
ordered plenty of food as well.”

The merchant clapped his hands and the dishes were brought in one after another.

Cream stew made with a whole fatty duck.

Braised beef offal with spicy spices.

A mysterious salad made by grinding rich green vegetables and tossing them with
vinegar.

I’ve never eaten here before, but I’m convinced that the food was delicious just from
the smell and appearances of the dishes.

The gluttonous Setsuna was drooling with her nose twitching, and Eve was glancing
at me and the food alternatively.

Looks like they can’t wait.

“Nii-san, let’s have a toast. To our meeting and the success of our business in the
future.”

“Yeah, let’s get along well.”

The merchant and I hit our cups together and drink at once.

Seeing this, Setsuna and the others, who had been holding back for so long, began to
eat the food.

There was no need to ask if it tasted good. I could tell by the looks on their faces.

I’m going to eat too. It looks like Setsuna and the others are going to eat it all.

“This is a good place. The alcohol is good and the food is great.”

“This is the place I come to when I have important business partners come over. I’ve
never seen anyone feel bad after bringing them to this restaurant.”

That’s true, it seems that all kinds of business will go well here.

Setsuna and Eve were so absorbed in the food that their cheeks were puffing up like
squirrels, and they looked cute.

Freia, maybe because of habits she has since childhood, is eating with dexterity and
elegance using a fork and knife.

She looks strangely elegant even just by eating. This must be the elegance of a princess.

“So, nii-san, what’s that money-making scheme you were talking about?”
“Before that, let me introduce myself. Since we’re going to be doing business together,
it would be inconvenient if we didn’t know each other’s names. My name is Keyaruga.
I’m a traveling alchemist. I have a servant and a slave with me.”

I reveal my public identity.

Healers remind people of the Healing Hero, so I always introduce myself as an

Alchemist.

“Keyaruga… I’ll remember it. That’s a good name. My name is Karman. As you can see,
I’m a demon. I dropped by Buranikka when I was walking around aimlessly and
learned business and things got interesting. In short, I basically got hooked on it.”

Other than having tattoo-like markings, he’s no different than a human.

He might have an advantage over other demons when it comes to doing business.

“I see, then we better make a lot of money here.”

“Nii-san, I was thinking the same thing. Well, I’ve been having more fun eating good
food than doing business these days, which is why I settled on this city… So, let’s talk
about making money.”

The merchant’s… Karman’s eyes were serious.

Now, let’s change my mind set as well. From here on, it’s business negotiation.

“Karman, I looked around the market in this city, and there are few alchemists here.
The amount of potions in circulation are low and the prices are high.”

“Well yeah, demons can’t make potions and there’s no one in this city that can make
potions that require a high level of knowledge. We can only stock up on what peddlers
bring from across the border from time to time.”

After walking around the city today, I noticed that I didn’t see any potions compared
to Ranalitta. And when I did see them, they were expensive.

And it’s not like there’s no demand. Both humans and demons are buying them, even
though they are dissatisfied at the high prices.
In other words, the price is abnormally high because the supply is low in comparison
to the demand.

If we prepare potions at reasonable prices, they’ll sell like water in the desert.

“I told you I’m an Alchemist. Naturally, I can make something like this.”

I put a bag full of special potions on the table. I bought a bunch of empty bottles during
the day.

“Are, all these potions?”

“Yes. The two most popular types: healing and stamina recovering. All of them are
first-class products.”

If I wanted to, I could easily make something that exceeded the level of a first-class
product, but I purposefully kept it at a first-class level.

If I overdo it, I’ll start attracting a lot of attention. I don’t want to stand out too much.

Karman inspected the two types of potions.

“It’s certainly a first-class product.”

“Can you tell?”

“You can’t be a merchant without knowing at least that much. So, you’ll let me buy
these from you?”

“If it’s you, you can sell them well.”

It would be more profitable to sell them myself than to leave it to Karman, but
customers won’t just suddenly thrust the quality of a newcomer.

Besides, I don’t have time. I can’t stand around in a shop the whole day.

But Karman has credibility as a merchant. If he says his potions are first-class then the
customers will believe it, and most importantly, it’ll be easier. So I decided to let him
handle the sales.
“…If I’m going to sell this many potions in this city, I’ll definitely make a fortune. I’m
beat. Oh man, to think nii-san’s money making scheme would be this lucrative.
Landlady, please bring more alcohol. That one. That secret one! Also, some food to go
along with it. My bad, looks like I wasn’t hospitable enough! Hope this is enough of an
apology!”

Karman raised his voice.

The alcohol I’m drinking now is quite delicious, but there’s a better one?

Just thinking about the food that goes along with it fills my mouth with water.

“I’m enjoying myself enough, so don’t worry about it. But, if you’re going to try and
entertain me, I’m going to enjoy myself.”

“Sure thing. My motto is 『the more you make me money, the more I take care of you
』. But there’s nothing better than this.”

He’s a really nice guy.

Even if we’re just drinking without talking business, I’m sure I’d have fun.

“I’m relieved to hear that. Shall we go back to talking business? Right now, the people
living in this city should be worried because of the large number of knights that
suddenly arrived. Potions should sell well at times like this. I want you to set the price
with that in mind.”

“Nii-san, you’re a good businessman, aren’t you? Alright, got it. I’ll add some color to
the purchasing price.”

We then began negotiating the price and quantity to be delivered.

As a result, he agreed to buy the product at a price that was quite good from my point
of view.

Maybe he gave priority to not missing out on this great business opportunity.

In addition to selling potions, I also ordered items that I couldn’t find even after
visiting several shops. He said he would use his network of merchants to search for
them, and he would keep them for me if he found them.
Karman’s thoughtfulness was such that he didn’t take his profit margins into
consideration. I’m thankful.

I’m glad to have met this man.

That’s why, I’ll give a piece of advice.

“This city will probably become a battlefield. It’s a business opportunity now, but it’ll
be dangerous if you don’t escape quickly. You should be prepared to escape as soon as
you sense any danger. Staying alive is the only thing that matters.”

“Huh, who do you think I am? Don’t scare me like that.”

Karman laughed happily as he drank his alcohol.

I drank from the new bottle of wine that was brought to us and became immediately
speechless. I see, so this is the secret one.

The food is also one rank higher.

Setsuna and the others are very happy… It’s probably a little bad that I let them learn
about luxury.

We were enjoying conversation. During it, Karman said something that I can’t ignore.

“That human army that entered the city, nii-san should be careful too. Especially with
the Sword Hero, that guy is dangerous. Nii-san should hide your companions.”

“Why? Did something happen?”

“I heard that a rich young lady, who happened to also be a client of mine, was badly
beaten up by that Sword Hero guy… To put it bluntly, it was rape. Since then, the young
lady hasn’t been able to leave the mansion. The culprit was that guy after all. If it’s a
beautiful girl, that guy will get his hands on them no matter the means. All three of nii-
san’s companions are beautiful girls. If he sees you, he’ll notice. Nii-san should watch
out.”

“Yeah, I’ll be careful.”

Even in this world, it seems that the Sword Hero is doing whatever she wants and
making people cry.

She needs to die. For the sake of the peace in this city and my revenge, she needs to
die.

After that, we had a good time chatting.

Surprisingly, Karman was able to have a normal conversation with Setsuna, who is
extremely shy.

After plenty of good drinks and food, we went our separate ways.

Karman paid for all of us. I felt bad having him pay for everything, so I said I would pay
our share, but he wouldn’t bulge, saying it was an investment.

I’ll make him a lot of money as thanks for today.

After parting with Karman, I returned to the inn with Setsuna and the others.

“Keyaruga-sama, it was really delicious, wasn’t it?”

“Un, it was nice. When looked at the menu, there were plenty other delicious dishes.”

“Yeah, I was also interested. I definitely want to try the special braised shank meat.”

The three girls were excited talking about food.

Before I knew it, Eve had blended in perfectly. When did they become friends? Let’s
talk with Setsuna a little later. I also want to get along with Eve.

“Let’s eat dinner at that restaurant for a while. I’ve got some money, and there’s still
dishes I want to try.”

All three of them laughed innocently.

It was a happy night.

And there’s one thing I need to decide now.

The question is: should I use Setsuna or Eve as bait under the premise that they will
be harmed for my revenge against the Sword Hero?

“Setsuna, Eve, you two are cute.”

My true feelings came out. I thought that when I saw them eating delicious food and
smiling happily.

“…Embarrassing if suddenly say something like that.”

“D-don’t let him trick you! He’s probably planning something naughty.”

Their reactions are so funny I couldn’t help but laugh.

These girls are really cute. I don’t want to hurt them. I want to protect them.

That’s why, I’ll stop here.

I won’t use them as bait. I can’t sacrifice them.

But I haven’t given up on taking revenge on the Sword Hero. I will definitely do it.

So I’ll prepare a different bait.

That is, myself.

For the sake of my revenge, I’ll abandon Keyaruga for a while and be reborn… as a
lovely flower, Keara.
In order to take revenge on the Sword Hero, I decided to not use Setsuna or Eve as bait
and instead I myself would be bait. I will temporarily abandon Keyaruga and become
Keara, and I’ll finish her off when she attacks me.

Become Keara… it means I’ll have to become a woman.

There’s both conflict and fear inside me.

The Sword Hero is a trauma for me.

I have a strong reluctance against inviting such a person.

I’m scared. But I have to do it.

If I don’t overcome her, I can’t move forward from here.

We returned to the inn, I made plenty of love to Setsuna and Freia as usual, and also
had fun teasing the moody Eve.

Eve covered herself with a blanket and pretended to not be able to hear anything, but
in reality she’s comforting herself while listening in.

It’s adorable that she thinks she’s not being noticed.

After we finished, I was lying on bed with my eyes open, thinking.

On my left arm was a naked Setsuna.

Her sleeping face was adorable. There was a soft, plump feeling when I pecked her
cheek.

“My transformation will be after our morning routine. I’ll make up my mind by then.”

The Sword Hero is the picky type.

She won’t fall for me unless I’m a beautiful woman.

Even if I can change my appearance with Transformation Heal, I can’t change my

gender.

Overcoming the disadvantage of being a man and getting that woman to make a move
on me is impossible with ordinary performance.

I need to make every possible effort to become more of a woman than any woman.

Fortunately, I’m traveling with the most beautiful girls. Let’s make the most of that
experience.

Setsuna and the others returned from their morning training.

Recently, Eve has also been participating in the morning training.

According to Eve, it’s not enough to just be protected. It’s meaningless if she doesn’t
become strong herself.

I’m surprised and pleased to see this girl that only had talent with no effort has begun
to hone her talent.

The reason why Setsuna and Eve seem strangely close these days is probably because
they’re training together like this.

“Breakfast is here.”

This inn’s food isn’t as delicious as the first inn’s, but it’s still delicious.

That’s why, I decided to leave breakfast to them.

I figured that Setsuna and the others would come back hungry, so I ordered eight
servings even though there’s only four of us, but there has never been any leftovers.

“Keyaruga-sama, today’s food looks delicious. Eve, Freia, eat lots. If you don’t eat, you
won’t get stronger.”

“Of course. Eating after exercising is best.”

Setsuna and Eve’s group of underfed children jump in.

They immediately start munching on bread and pouring it down with soup.

The other one has a grumpy look on her face and looks like she’s upset.

“How can Setsuna-chan and Eve-chan’s stomachs accept food after that reckless
training… it’s absurd.”

Freia seems to be in pretty bad shape as she’s struggling to swallow the bread even
after soaking it on the soup.

Beginners become like this after taking Setsuna’s training.

Eve, who seems normal, is more unusual. Her adaptability is strange.

For a while, I watched the three of them eat.

Secretly, I used some rudimentary Heal on Freia.

I heal her muscle pain by strengthening her self-healing ability. It’s counterproductive
if you train hard every day but don’t deal with the muscle aches and pains. This way,
I’m secretly supporting her by making sure she’s in perfect condition every day.

Freia becomes visibly more energetic and eats faster.

Once she finishes eating, I call out to her.

“Freia, I have a favor to ask.”

“What is it, Keyaruga-sama?”

“I need you to do makeup for me.”

I also got her knowledge in that field from Imitation Heal, but I already forgot them.

The knowledge and abilities that I copy with Imitation Heal will be forgotten in a
month if I don’t try to retain them.

I regularly assign important knowledge and skills and take care to not forget them, but
the unimportant ones are gone before I know it.

I never thought I’d need makeup knowledge though.

Besides, I don’t have the aesthetic sense required to do makeup. But I expect Freia,
who grew up surrounded by beautiful things as princess Flare, to have it.

“I don’t mind. But I never expected Keyaruga-sama to be interested in crossdressing…”

Freia reluctantly said something impolite about me.

How rude.

“I’m not. There’s a group of people who are trying to burn this city down. It’s more
convenient to be a woman to infiltrate that group. It’s not like I have any interests like
that.”

“I’m relieved. I was worried that Keyaruga-sama was planning to cut it off, so I would
be lonely because you wouldn’t embrace me anymore.”

“…You’re worrying too much.”

Freia pulls out a make up kit from her pouch.

I brought it for her once after she really begged me for it.

I told her that makeup is not necessary for travel, and she told me that it’s more
important than armor for women.

In Freia’s case, she’s already so beautiful that she doesn’t even need makeup. Maybe
she’s aware of it and only uses a small amount.
According to Freia, that small amount of makeup is very important.

Freia sometimes tries to put makeup on Setsuna, but every time she tries, she escapes
from her. Apparently Setsuna doesn’t like the smell of cosmetics. As expected of a wolf.

“Then, please sit down on this chair here.”

“Wait a minute, there’s something I need to do first. Transformation Heal.”

I change my face, skeleton and body shape to look like a woman.

The gender can’t be changed, so that’s still attached, but my appearance properly
becomes a woman.

Modest but decent breasts, a small waist and a big butt.

My center of gravity is off, so it’ll take some getting used to.

My muscles are weak and my physical abilities have lowered. To begin with, my whole
body is now soft and squishy, which makes me feel insecure. As I thought, being a man
is better.

“Uwaaa, Keyaruga-sama, you’re so cute. Setsuna-chan, Eve-chan, come look.”

“Cute. Keyaruga-sama, hug.”

Setsuna jumps into my chest. Not figuratively, she buries her face against my chest and
rubs it. The weight of Setsuna’s face is changing the shape of my chest.

Uu, Setsuna is cute, but I have mixed feelings about this.

“…Your villainous inside has completely disappeared. It’s so beautiful that even I, a
woman, can’t help but admire it.”

Eve also gave the okay.

For the time being, it looks like these looks are acceptable.

“But, I’ve seen Keyaruga-sama’s face somewhere before… ah, I remembered. It looks
like Keyaruga-sama’s real face.”
“Setsuna agrees. Keyaruga-sama’s real face is cute. Looks like a girl’s.”

“Eh, this is what Keyaruga’s face looks like?! It’s too surprising.”

“…Please don’t say that. I don’t like my real face. It oozes sweetness and childishness
that’s not like me. I wouldn’t have chosen this face if there wasn’t a reason for it.”

As Freia noticed, my current face is a feminine version of my original Keyaru face.

There are two reasons why I chose that face.

The first is that, if the face is too far removed from the original face, the facial muscles
can’t be manipulated properly. The problems become more obvious once you cross
the gender barrier. That’s why I had to base it on my original face.

The second reason is that this face was liked by the Sword Hero.

In the first world, the Sword Hero abused me violently because she was jealous of me
being favored by princess Flare, but also because she didn’t want to admit that she had
lusted for a man. That woman liked my girlish face. She forced me to wear feminine
clothes many times in order to humiliate me, but at that time the Sword Hero’s face
was in heat.

…If I’m a woman with Keyaru’s face, I’ll definitely catch that woman. And then, when I
reject her advances, she will attack me and take me by force. That way, my conditions
for revenge will be met.

Let’s be more careful just in case.

I take out the syringe from my pouch.

I stab it into the base of my neck and administer plenty of medicine.

After all, pouring it directly into the blood vessels is more effective.

The essence of this medicine is a special potion made of Freia’s body fluids.

Things like smell and pheromones are important to attract people, not just
appearance and personality. This is what I’ll use to get those things.
There is also a perfume made from Freia’s body fluids, so I’ll use them together.

The smell and pheromones of princess Flare whom the Sword Hero once loved, and
the appearance of Keyaru whom she lusted for in the first world, reworked to be more
feminine.

That said, I’m not comfortable administering a potion made from Freia’s body fluids
into my body, so once everything is finished, I’ll make sure to erase it with Heal.

“Keyaruga-sama, you really look like a girl.”

“If I didn’t, the infiltration wouldn’t have a chance at working.”

I’ll experiment to see if my cross-dressing is perfect on people that aren’t the Sword
Hero, and it’s also necessary to obtain the items I need for the revenge (game).

“Then, I’m going to start applying makeup. Since the base is already good, I’ll only use
a small amount to try and bring out your charm.”

Freia approaches me while breathing hard.

She’s strangely enthusiastic about this.

I have a bad feeling about this, but I’ll let her do what she wants.

I always play with Freia. It’s only fair that she gets to play with me once in a while.

Makeup is done. Freia brought her clothes next.

“The skirt is too short. Don’t you have any pants?”

“That’s no good. Since it’s cute, you should wear a skirt. You’ll look better that way.”

Freia brought a skirt, a miniskirt at that.

It takes a lot of courage to wear this.

“Ah, Keyaruga-sama, please put on my underwear too.”

“…No, it can’t be seen anyway so it’s fine.”

“That’s no good. Skirts tend to roll up when you least expect them, and if that happens
a man’s underwear will be seen.”

I don’t understand. I don’t understand the reason for wearing clothes that allow
people to see my underwear.

Let’s get dressed quickly.

…What’s with this unreliability?

I feel so uncomfortable on my feet, and I tried walking around a bit, but I feel like my
underwear is about to be seen at any moment.

Isn’t this already in the realm of shame play?

Are women insane to walk around the city like this?

“Uwaa, so cute!”

Freia’s voice brought Setsuna over as well.

She has her usual expressionless face, but I think her eyes are sparkling.

Her ears twitched and she suddenly pulled up my skirt.

Instinctively, I hold it down with my hand.

“Setsuna, what are you doing?”

“Somehow, when see Keyaruga-sama, want to do that.”

My face is red.

I’ve never been humiliated like this before.

…This will be my first and last time as Keara. I feel like I can’t stand it for even a minute
more.
Women are lucky.

I was walking down a back alley thinking how nice women have it.

It’s not that I have awakened to cross-dressing.

A few members of the Holy Lance chivalric order, an elite unit of Jioral Kingdom, and
princess Norn were busy negotiating with the lord, and they seemed bored.

I have been extracting information of the more loose-tongued knights, and they were
happily chatting away.

As I thought, being a beautiful woman is a blessing. Me, Keara, dressed as a beautiful

woman, is a beautiful woman without a doubt. The men were simple and gave me the
information I asked for without even questioning it.
Among the information was even the name of the bar the Sword Hero goes to hunt for
women.

Now then, I got the information. Next step is to get the items. I go into a deserted back
alley.

If an unarmed, lightly dressed, good-looking woman enters such a place alone, it’s as
if she’s asking to be raped.

See? They already arrived.

“Hihii, aren’t you a nice woman? I’m a lucky guy.”

He held me with his left hand, and his right hand was covering my mouth.

“Ah, aniki, that’s unfair. Are you trying to keep her to yourself?”

“That’s right, that’s right. We’re a team. Let’s share her between the three of us.”

“Yeah, I got it. But I’m first.”

I am now being abducted by a group of three large ugly men.

They were big and strong, and I could see that they were proud of their strength.
However, it seems they’re lacking in the brains department.

They threatened to kill me if I tried to resist and were about to take me somewhere.

It’s true that I came here to fish, but I didn’t expect that they would bite so easily.

I was taken to a deserted building and thrown.

“Now then, I’m going to give you lots of love.”

“Aniki, please let it out outside. We’ll be using her later.”

“I don’t care either way. I like to use the back hole.”

They’re saying whatever they want.

Now, let’s check the revenge points.

If they’ve reached a certain amount, I can start my revenge.

…No good, it seems they’re slightly short on points.

I was kidnapped, hugged from behind, and threatened.

I’d like just one more push.

But, it would be a waste if they ripped the clothes I bought.

Alright, I’ll give them a chance. Bonus game.

The men stared at me with glaring eyes.

I stared back at them and opened my mouth.

“I am stronger than you. If you touch me, you will regret it. At that point, you’ll stop
being human. So, if you want to escape, shouldn’t you do it now?”

I warned them.

How will they react?

“Gyahahahahahaha, ojou-chan, that’s a funny joke.”

“Kekeke, come up with something smarter than that.”

“I’m scared, I’m scared. I’m so scared I’ll do my best to rape you.”

The men laughed hysterically.

My good intentions were trampled on. Revenge points were added.

When I began laughing along with the men, they stopped laughing and looked at me
with shocked expressions.

Now, time for the death sentence.

“What a shame. Now that you’ve reached the minimum value, the revenge (game) can
start. It’s okay, don’t worry. I’ll have you guys stop being human but… I’ll allow you to
do your favorite mating as much as you want.”

Even though I gave them one last chance.

This is why I dislike idiots. They can’t even tell their opponent’s strength.

“Bastard, I’ll shut you up.”

The man who was called aniki tries to punch me.

It’s a large swing. He might as well have stopped still.

I grab his arm and use his momentum to throw him and drop him on his back.

“Gofu gofu, y-you-!”

“Shut up.”

I kick the fallen man on his jaw.

The man’s brain is shaken and he loses consciousness.

I can’t just kill him. It will be troublesome for me if he doesn’t become the best item
after a bit of medicine.

“Now then, two left. You can resist, but I’ll break you more easily if you don’t.”

Let’s reap them quickly.

I’m thankful for this trio.

The Sword Hero is a beautiful woman with a terrible personality.

I’ll have a lot of fun with that Sword Hero later.

The remaining two were subdued in seconds.

I kick the men away and stack them on top of each other and sit on them like chairs.

I quickly get bored after sitting on the men.

“I can’t believe how easy it is to catch a man. As a man, I feel sad. Or maybe I’m too
attractive? Did I do something bad to them? No one would be able to resist if someone
with such beautiful looks and personality like myself passed in front of them. Now, it’s
medicine ti~me.”

I take out my new special potion from my pouch.

It’s an improved version of the one that I accidentally used too much of and destroyed
the Gold Leopard woman. So her loss was not in vain. Since I was able to complete an
improved version like this, I’m sure that woman is also happy for me somewhere.

If I administer this, these men will be happy.

They will no longer feel pain, anxiety of suffering for the rest of their lives.
After disguising myself as the female Keara, I hid the three idiots that attacked me in
a certain place and put them to sleep with drugs.

I have no mercy for these beasts, who would have attacked innocent people if left
alone.

If I had been careless, I would have been gang-raped by these guys.

Unintentionally, I looked at myself in the mirror in the abandoned house. I dressed

myself as a woman in order to take revenge on the Sword Hero, but it seems that I
don’t look so bad as a woman.

It’s understandable why it was so easy to fish for men.

With this, I’m sure I’ll be able to catch the Sword Hero.

It’s almost time to go. I should start moving.

“Of course she chose a fancy shop for no reason.”

I was walking around the city in my dress while complaining.

The shop where the Sword Hero hunts is a place where the upper class of the city
gather.

As one would expect, I couldn’t enter that shop in my traveling clothes, so I had to buy
a dress and change into it.

This extra expense hurt my wallet.

I arrived at my destination. From the brightly decorated entrance and the atmosphere
it has, I can tell it’s not a store meant for the general public.

I take a deep breath before entering the restaurant.

I am now the daughter of an aristocrat. I must act the part.

I managed to finish the autosuggestion.

Keara, a pretty flower that blooms in the night.

Let’s show off my charm.

I went into the restaurant.

There was a guard at the entrance, and he seemed to be turning away suspicious
customers.

It seems my appearance showed that I’m a noble’s daughter, so he let me pass without
saying anything.

Inside is a stylish bar that makes me a bit uncomfortable.

People from the upper class are having fun and chatting.

I can hear the sound of a piano playing. It’s not an amateur playing for the sake of it.
It’s a professional’s live performance.

I sit at the counter, listening to the music.

An old gentleman was making a cocktail for another customer. When I saw that his
hands were free, I placed my order.

“Master, please give me a light and sweet drink.”

“Certainly, miss.”

The master made the cocktail in front of me.

He mixed fruit wine with water, squeezed some red fruit I’d never seen before, and
added it to the glass.

When I tried it, I found that it was low in alcohol content and had a fruity sweetness,
just as I had ordered.

The freshness leaves a lasting impression.

I’m relieved that the alcohol is good. I’m planning to return here once in a while. I don’t
want to spend a lot of money in a place with bad alcohol.

I heard that the Sword Hero is planning to come here, but there’s no guarantee I’ll be
able to meet her in just one day.

When I was asking the knights for information, I added a bit of insurance.

When I asked the name of the shop she frequents, I said “I’m in love with the Sword
Hero-sama, and I want to meet him again.”

The knights would tell the Sword Hero that a pretty girl wanted to meet her.

Once that happens, the probability of the Sword Hero coming here increases.

What I did during the day was scattering bait as well as gathering information.

I chatted with the master and chased away the occasional man who approached me.
I’m beautiful, so they don’t leave me alone.

I have no use for small fry. I only have one prey in mind.

I hear a clinging sound. It’s the sound of the bell attached to the door.

It seems someone has arrived.

I grin.

Oh, no good, I must smile like a lady.

It’s that woman. The Sword Hero, I can recognize her just from her magic power.

I didn’t expect her to come on the first day.

The Sword Hero walked with light steps and set down beside me.

I could feel the eyes of the people around us.

After all, just from her appearance, the Sword Hero looks like a handsome young
noble.

She is tall for a woman, with beautiful blond hair and a slim, toned body.

She wears slim slacks and a well-tailored shirt.

She has a strange sex appeal, the women in the store gaze at the Sword Hero with
enraptured faces.

“Is this your first time coming here, miss?”

Blade asks with a mischievous smile on her face.

“Yes, it’s my first time. Are you a regular customer?”

“Actually, it’s my first time here too. I was going to ask you to recommend me some
drinks, but I guess I missed the mark.”

I smile lightly.

Blade then speaks to the master, asks for two of his recommendations, and offers one
to me.

“This seems delicious. You should try it too. It’s my treat.”

This kind of casual gesture is characteristic of this woman.

“I feel bad having a stranger buy me a drink.”

“If you feel that way, would you mind joining me for a toast? I feel lonely drinking
alone.”

“If that’s all, I don’t mind… then, cheers.”

Both glasses clink together.

After that, Blade engages in light-hearted talk.

Instead of just speaking all the time, she speaks in a natural way that allows me to
engage as well and listen attentively. With perfect timing, she casually follows up when
the conversation feels like it’s about to stall.

When the conversation gets lively, she tries to get me to drink more alcohol during the
confusion.

As expected of someone who hunts women on a daily basis, her techniques for getting
women to fall in love with her are astounding. This is a woman who will stop at
nothing to get her hands on a woman.

If I were a woman, I might have fallen for her.

But, the fire of revenge is burning in my heart. I can’t help but want to ruin this
beautiful face.

Time was passing rapidly.

“I have to go soon.”

“Miss, it’s already late today. It’s not safe for a woman to walk alone. I won’t say
anything bad about it. You can stay in my room today.”

She’s trying to make it look like she cares about me, but I’m sure there’s desire swirling
inside her.

If I follow her until the end, she’ll become a wild beast and violate me.

“I’m sorry. As expected, with a man I just met today… I have to go to the bathroom for
a bit.”

“I’m sorry, for suddenly saying something weird.”

“No, I don’t mind.”

Blade kept smiling, but, just for a moment, her expression distorted. If not for me, no
one would have caught it.

That woman hates to spend a long time taking one woman. She wants to enjoy a
variety of women every day, so she doesn’t like women who make her take her time.

The only exception this woman didn’t mind taking her time was princess Flare. If it
were any other woman, she would have raped her right away.

Now, from here on, I’m sure she’ll do what I expect her to do.

I remove myself from my seat and use a certain kind of alchemy magic, mirror magic.

While I disappear to the back of the store, I can still see her who I left behind.

Taking advantage of my absence, she looks annoyed and pulls a bag of white powder
from her pocket.

She mixed it into my drink. There are two kinds.

One is a sleeping drug and the other is an aphrodisiac. It’s the rape aid she always
carries with her.

Trying to drug me increases her revenge points by a lot.

After looking at the situation, I return to my seat.

“I’ve had too much to drink today. I’m going to go home soon.”

“I had fun talking to you. Can we meet again in this place?”

“If there is a chance, by all means. Well then.”

When I tried to stand up, Blade grabbed my hand.

To touch a maiden’s skin without permission. More revenge points will be added.

“Kyaa, what’s this all the sudden?”

“Isn’t it a waste to leave behind a cocktail that the master made for you? Why not drink
it?”

“I’ve had too much to drink today, so that’s difficult. If you don’t mind, I would
appreciate it if you drank it for me.”

Now, how will the Sword Hero react after seeing her prey run away from her trap?

While watching the situation, I was laughing in my mind, and she took a sip of the
cocktail.

No way, self-destruction? Did she drink the cocktail that had the sleeping drug and
aphrodisiac because it would have been unnatural otherwise?

But, that was a naive thought of mine.

With the cocktail in her mouth, she kissed me and forced me to drink it.

I was too slow to react because the movement was too unexpected.

I feel sick and nauseous.

Endure it. Endure.

Let’s add to her revenge points.

The sin of stealing a maiden’s lips is heavy.

“So suddenly, what-?”

“This cocktail was made for you to drink. I had to get you to drink it… but I may have
been a little forceful.”

Blade smiles at me.

My body feels wobbles.

My body produces antibodies. A drug of this level can be quickly neutralized.

“It seems that this miss had too much to drink. It can’t be helped, I’ll take care of her
in my room.”

The Sword Hero said that so that those around her could hear. So now she can take me
home in front of everyone.

Then, Blade held me in her arms in a princess carry and took me out of the store. I
guess she’ll take me to her room now. Her room is off-limits to the knights and is
sound-proof.

In other words, a perfect place for revenge. That was my goal all along. Everything is
according to plan.

Just as Blade enters an alleyway, a lone elderly man appears. His eyes were bloodshot,
and he was holding a knife in his trembling hands.

“You, you, my daughter… how dare you, how dare you?! Who is this woman?! Could it
be, you weren’t satisfied with my daughter and drugged someone else?!”

The old man shouted at Blade with extreme hatred.

“Daughter? Since I’ve come to this city I’ve played with… Lelishe? Marian? Ah, maybe
it was Eris? I don’t know, there’s too many that I don’t remember.”

“…Mirura.”

“Ah, that girl. I had forgotten about her until you mentioned her. She was a mistake.
She wasn’t a good woman.”

“I’ll kill youuuuuuuuu!”

The man’s anger passes the limit, and he lounges at her with the knife held on his
waist.

Such a reckless attack against the Sword Hero is beyond reckless, it’s suicidal.

But he must be so furious that he has to do it.

I understand the situation. She played with his daughter… and probably destroyed her.
As a father, he came to avenge her.

Blade laughs lightly. And then, without thinking, she threw me, a beautiful girl, at the
old man.

“Ah, I went and did it. I liked that one too. Oh well, I’ll have my fun with another girl.”

The old man tried to retract the knife, but he was too late. If this continues, I’ll get
stabbed.

“Tsk.”

I stop pretending, open my eyes, spin my body in the air and grab the old man’s
outstretched arm. Doing that, I avoided the knife and also lightly hit the old man’s chin
with my fingertips to shake his brain and knock him unconscious.

I don’t want to get in the way of his revenge, but if I don’t do this he will surely be
killed. It’s a small act of kindness to a fellow who also seeks revenge.

I roll down the alley.

My dress is ruined. Anger is welling up inside me.

“Hee, I’m surprised. My special cocktail didn’t work. And the way you carry yourself.
Who are you? I’m curious.”

I’m not sure what she’s enjoying, but she walks up to me with a smile on her face.

…This woman really is trash. After all that happened, she already lost interest in the
man that tried to take revenge for his daughter.

It’s not my policy, but I’ll take revenge for this guy as well.

“I won’t understand if you stay quiet. Sweet kitty, will you tell me who you are?… So
you won’t answer me. Then, it can’t be helped, I’ll ask your body.”

Blade slashes at me.

Slow. She’s not serious. She’s taking me lightly.

She has a lot of courage to go easy on me. I slap the side of the sword with my palm,
and then use the rebound to hit her cheek with my backhand. This is a technique that
a certain old martial artist was good at.

Blade probably didn’t take much damage, but she was surprised by the sudden
counterattack and took a few steps back.

I was carrying the slender sword given to me by the merchant, Karman, hidden inside
my skirt. I rolled up my skirt, pulled out the sword, and held it ready.

Now, what should I do? A battle here is unexpected.

Even if I engage her in battle here, all I can do is kill her. That’s lukewarm revenge.
Somehow, I have to lose and be taken to her room…

Blade held her cheek with a dazed look on her face.

“My face, you hit my beautiful face… You fucking bitch! I’m going to kill you!!”

She shouts angrily.

She looks like an evil demon. This is Blade’s true nature.

She loves women, but not as a human being.

She only sees them as convenient pets. If things don’t go her way, this is what happens.

In order to be kidnapped peacefully, I have to calm her down first. It’s a hassle, but I’ll
try to buy some time.

Blade also pulls out her sword. Divine Sword Ragnarok.

The Sword Hero’s Divine Arms.

Its power is to be covered in light. Light fills the blade and illuminates the surrounding
area. The more light fills it up, the more its cutting power, physical ability and even
self-healing power is enhanced.

If it comes to pure swordsmanship, the Sword Hero isn’t even close to the level of the
Sword Saint.
But, the difference in skill is overturned by the overwhelming difference in status and
the performance of the divine sword.

If Sword Saint Kureha and Sword Hero Blade clashed, Blade would probably win.

I look at my opponent’s stance.

There are a lot of openings, so it looks like I can strike her as much as I want. Let’s
start from there.

While closing the distance at once with divine speed thanks to Ground Shrinker, I
connect to a thrust from the shortest distance.

Even if it’s a first-class swordsman, there’s no way to avoid it in time.

But, I had a bad feeling.

Unable to evade in time, Blade caught the sword with her fingertips.

“Miss, you’re quite a good swordswoman. But… you’re a hundred years too early to
challenge me!”

Rather than a sword, a kick comes flying at me.

I let go of the sword Blade grabbed with her fingertips, since I was unable to move it,
and put some strength in my stomach. At the moment of impact, I leap backwards to
avoid it.

But this is a narrow alleyway. There’s a wall right behind me. The impact is dispersed
through my whole body.

A dull pain shot through my entire body… what stupid power. If I had properly taken
the impact of the kick, some of my internal organs would have been destroyed.

The scary part is that it had nothing to do with my ability to take the attack.

It’s only because of the extremely enhanced physical ability and dynamic vision. Does
the Divine Sword Ragnarok strengthen not only physical ability, but also the dynamic
vision?
Sword Hero Blade closes the distance. It’s not a swordwoman’s stride, it’s just running.
How stupid. She swung her sword as hard as she could. To a person who has studied
the sword, this seems like a joke. But Blade’s sword speed is out of the ordinary. Even
such an obvious attack is a threat because of the speed.

Before she can close her distance, I release the poison needles hidden in the helm of
my dress. Three needles from the front. Those are a decoy, and the main attack is a
transparent one from her blind spot.

The three are lightly flickered away, and the real one pierces Blade.

This is a secret weapon, refined to be used against powerful enemies, it can kill even
large monsters in seconds.

Blade’s movements stop for a moment. Then she smirks.

I jumped to the side with all my might. The sword swung down where I had just been,
the wall was cut open and shattered.

Even though it’s a third-rate sword that uses only the strength of the arms and not the
waist, it was heavier and faster than a blow with all my body’s strength.

How unreasonable.

“Little kitty, did you use poison on me? But it won’t work as long as my sword is full of
light. I am stronger than anyone else.”

…The sword’s self-healing power is also effective against poison?

Having lost my weapon, I take out the knife from my chest and prepare myself.

“The way you move, the hidden weapons that keep popping up one after another, are
you an assassin or a spy, little kitty?”

“I wonder, what do you think?”

She’s a monster beyond my imagination.

I realized how naive I was.

The moment I entered the battle, I thought “it would be boring to just kill her here.”
But, once the battle began, my swordsmanship was outmatched by her physical
abilities, and my hidden weapons were ineffective.

My only hope is the instant death attack with Corruption Heal, but it’ll be challenging
to hit Blade with Corruption Heal, since it requires me to touch her.

If I choose to do it by any means, I can increase my winning rate to 60%. On the other
hand, 60% is the limit. 40% chance of being killed. Blade is that strong… I can’t take
that kind of risk.

Should I escape? I’m sure I can manage to just run away.

“I like girls who are cute and strong… I’ll interrogate you a lot on the bed. I’ll also
punish you for hurting my beautiful face.”

Huh, I thought she was going to kill me, but it seems she still wants to take me alive.

I’m thankful for that. Then, I can still take revenge.

I won’t run away.

Let’s just get kidnapped like the original plan. She’s strong, but not very smart. If she
wants to take me, I can guide her thoughts.

I pretended to sway and hold my face with my hand. My face becomes red and my
breathing gets rough.

…It’s like if the drugs Blade gave me earlier were just now taking effect.

“Ahahahaha, little kitty, it seems that the drugs are finally working. So it’s not that they
didn’t work, it’s that they didn’t work fast enough.”

“What, are you, saying about drugs?”

“I mixed a lot of medicine for you to feel good and sleepy on your cocktail.”

“You coward!”

I shout like a tragic heroine. Blade is even more careless now.

I pretend to try a suicidal attack out of frustration. I also deliberately slowed down my
movements.

If the drugs were working, this much movement should be the limit, and like this,
Blade can easily incapacitate me.

“You’re a naughty little kitten.”

I thrust out my knife. It’s a dull, slow, pathetic movement that’s just asking to be
dodged.

Blade laughs and easily evades. Then, she raises her swordless left hand and slams it
into my stomach.

“Gufuu!”

I fainted in agony. This wasn’t wasn’t really acting, I really did feel like I was going to
lose consciousness.

She’s more merciless than I thought. I’m a maiden now. To do such a thing to a
maiden’s belly… this will also add a lot of revenge points.

Blade grabs my collapsing body, then she rubs my breasts and butt.

Disgusting. I’m getting goosebumps.

“I’m kind, that’s why I won’t hit you on the face. I’ll be disappointed if your beautiful
face were crushed.”

Blade licks my cheek.

Then, she hits me in the stomach again to reap my consciousness.

My consciousness is fading.

…Now you’ve done it. I’m going to pay you back for this. I’ll never forget the smirk on
your face.

With that thought, my consciousness faded.

When I woke up, I was lying on a white bed.

It was a reasonably luxurious room.

When I tried to move my hands, they were tied to the bed with handcuffs, so I couldn’t
move.

“Oh, you’re up earlier than I thought.”

Blade smiles at me as she sips her tea.

“Where am I? Chains? No, let me go, get me out of here. I’ll call someone.”

“By all means, but no one will come. Seriously, what a troublesome little kitten. I would
have taken good care of you if you had behaved. I have to be a little mean to a naughty
girl who punched my beautiful face.”

Blade laughs and leans closer to me.

“No, don’t come. Beast! You’re the worst kind of man!”

“That’s a misunderstanding. I’m a woman.”

Blade takes off her clothes.

She’s in her underwear, revealing her well-toned body.

“You’re disgusting, a woman who assaults women!”

“That’s a terrible thing to say. Everyone’s like that at first. But, after I introduce them
to a new world, everyone says they prefer to be with other women.”

You say that, but you rely on drugs to force them to feel pleasure.

“I’ll take good care of you now. I’m going to make you feel good, you troublesome
kitten. I’m going to make you feel so good. Please tell me a lot about you.”

She forced me to take a dubious drug by mouth.

I guess it’s an extra dose of aphrodisiac.

When she was done, she came over me, caressed my body naughtily, put her hand
under my skirt, and then inside my underwear…

“Now, let’s open a new door… Lies. Why? Why? Why is a man’s thing-?! Blargh, blargh,
dirty, disgusting, blargh, I, a man, blargh.”

While over me, the Sword Hero repeatedly vomits.

How rude. I am Keara, a pretty flower.

This vomiting woman is so annoying that I kicked her in the stomach.

Blade tumbles around.

Incidentally, I have a hidden knife on the shoe I’m wearing today, and when I kick, a
knife full of lovely Keyaruga-brand poison extends from my toe.

Blood flows from the vomiting woman’s abdomen and the poison begins to circulate.

My poison is different from the cheap stuff she used on me.

Once it begins to circulate, your consciousness becomes clouded and your body won’t
be able to move properly.

Even though she is the Sword hero who has the physical ability of a monster, she is no
more than an ordinary person.

The poison from my hidden weapons were nullified by the effects of Divine Sword
Ragnarok, but now that divine sword isn’t in her hands.

After all, this woman is just strong.

Even though she knew I had hidden weapons, she was satisfied with tying me up and
didn’t confiscate my things, and she also let go of the divine sword that protects her.

I’ll repay the debt from before. I break the handcuffs with alchemy magic.

Without the divine sword, this woman is nothing to be afraid of.

“What a shame. I’m a man. You hit on a man, you kissed a man, and you touched his
dick.”

“Lies, blargh, I, to a man, blargh.”

It was nice to watch her puking.

I had no choice but to show her the proof of my being a man, and that made her vomit
twice as much.

“Blargh, you’re a man and you dress up as a woman. Pervert! Pervert! Pervert!”

“No, you’re the only one who can’t say that.”

You cross-dressing woman.

Now, it’s time to begin the revenge.

She’s already accumulated a good amount of revenge points. In fact, she’s already
passed the required amount by a large margin.

Even in the back alley, I had my stomach hit twice. After that, I had my breasts groped,
ass rubbed, and even my cheek licked.

My maiden dignity was lowered to the ground.

That’s why, I’ll show this woman hell. And it’s going to be an amazing one.
Sword Hero Blade fainted in agony when she realized I am a man.

It’s only natural that that would happen, since that hardcore man-hating bitch had fun
chatting with a man, held his hand, kissed him on the mouth, and even grabbed the
proof of being a male.

I also stabbed her in the abdomen with a poisoned knife, and the poison has started
to spread nicely.

I missed the vital point, so she won’t die from the stabbing. The bleeding will stop after
a while, but the poison will continue to eat away in her.

Conveniently, this is the Sword Hero’s room.

It’s thoroughly soundproofed and no one will come to the rescue even if there is a lot
of noise.

“Kill, I’ll kill you.”

Blade is glaring at me, but she’s covered in vomit and in her underwear, so she doesn’t
bother me.

“If you can do it, feel free. Go ahead, try it.”

I laugh.

She has given up on her Divine Arms, the symbol of her being the Sword Hero.

And the poison I mixed is an original mixture of neurotoxins, muscle relaxants, and
things that sharpen the senses.
When it circulates, you first lose your sense of equilibrium and feel weak. Also, all your
senses become extremely sensitive.

I often play with aphrodisiacs, but I won’t give this woman any pleasure.

Rather, I won’t be satisfied unless I make her taste a lot of pain without being able to
resist.

This woman took really good care of me in the first world. She beat me and kicked me,
and often made me go without food. She made me take off my clothes and walk around
like a dog, and sometimes she ordered me to wear women’s clothes and masturbate.

This woman trampled on my dignity as a man.

So, I made up my mind. First, I’ll make her realize she’s a woman, then I’ll trample on
her dignity and make her die in hellish pain.

“My body, won’t move. Shit, if only I had that sword.”

Yes, Divine Sword Ragnarok easily nullified the poison I used on my hidden weapons
in our alley fight.

This woman is a fool. She thought the divine sword’s power was her own, so she put
it away and let her guard down.

“What a sorry state, Sword Hero-sama.”

I stomped on her head.

Feels pretty good actually.

“Bastard. You know I’m the Sword Hero, and you’re acting like this.”

“Yeah, I’m doing this because I know it. On the other hand, let me ask you, how can
you be so bossy in such a situation? You’ll die as soon as you get me in a bad mood.
See, like this.”

I pull out a dagger hidden in my skirt and drop it with a thud.

It cuts off the little finger of Blade’s dominant hand.

Ah, I accidentally pulled up my skirt more than I should have. I’m a little embarrassed
to have my underwear seen.

“Kyaaaaaaaa! My finger, my fingeeeeeer!”

“Aaah, I’ve gone and done it. Your precious little finger is now gone because you got
me in a bad mood. Poor thing. You can’t wield a sword properly without it. I guess the
Sword Hero is out of business. Ahyahyahyahya!”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

The little finger is important to handling a sword. It supports the sword and
overwhelms the enemy by manipulating it at will.

In this moment, she died as a swordswoman.

No other Healer can heal this missing part.

“Now, do you understand your position?”

“Kill, I’ll kill you.”

“That’s one more.”

I pick up the knife and drop it again.

“Kyaaaaa!”

I don’t want to be too rough, but if she won’t understand it with me saying it, she’ll
have to understand with her body.

Next was the ring finger.

I hope she’ll still have some fingers by the time she properly learns her place.

I’m worried because she’s stupid and doesn’t have the ability to learn.

Okay, let’s go to the next one, next.

“Aah, she passed out again.”

Blade fainted with her eyes rolled up. I could still see the marks of her tears on her
cheeks.

I disciplined her properly since then. She was smarter than I thought and was able to
understand her position before all the fingers on her left hand were gone.

Pathetic. I can’t believe she fainted at such a level. The future of mankind is bleak with
such a Hero.

I wish she would become more aware of what it means to be a Hero.

Now, time to work, time to work.

This can’t be called revenge at all. My resentment hasn’t been cleared.

This is all just a warm-up. Now comes the real deal.

“Transformation Heal.”

I changed from my Keara appearance to the Sword Hero’s appearance.

Then, I look through the shelves.

I knew it was there. A bag large enough to hold a person.

The Sword Hero sometimes overdoes it and ends up killing the woman she kidnaped.
This is prepared for times like these.

After I stop the bleeding, I put the bitch’s body into the bag.

This place is probably inside the knight’s camp. If I go out in the form of the Sword
Hero carrying a bag, the knights around me won’t be particularly alarmed and will just
think that the Sword Hero overdid it again.

Now I can move out and go outside.

“But before that, I’ll recycle some of her things.”

I collect money, jewelry, and other valuable items.

The Sword Hero received a lot of money for working as a Hero, and her family is a big
noble family, so she has good access to money.

Dead people don’t need money, I’ll put it in my pocket.

I also borrowed some wine and snacks. They’re quite good. I’m going to enjoy them.

“This is what I wanted.”

The item I wanted the most. The Divine Arms.

It’s currently in the form of a sword, but when it makes a contract with a Hero, it takes
the form of a weapon suited to that Hero.

The contract is broken when the Hero dies, and the weapon reverts back to its original
form, a jewel.

In other words, if the Sword Hero dies, it’s mine. I really wanted this toy.

I carefully wrapped it in a cloth and put it on my waist.

Alright, I’m ready.

“Let’s get going. Noow, I wonder how much you’ll entertain me♪”

Let’s go to the place where I left them items prepared for my revenge.

I grabbed the bag containing the Sword Hero and went out confidently.

Then, I went towards the slums.

The bastards who attacked me… we’re going to the abandoned house where I left my
previous revenge items sleeping.
I found myself humming.

Hell is going to begin now.

When I arrive at my destination, I take out the Sword Hero from the bag. Also, I use
Transformation Heal to change my body to Keara’s form.

Then, I throw her in front of the three trash that are sleeping on top of each other.

Also, I played with her legs a bit to make sure she couldn’t walk.

Once that was done, I took out my pouch and mixed some medicine.

I made something nice.

“The theme this time is 『The Gap Between Appetite And Lust』.”

I inject the completed potion into the three trash.

It has the ingredients to wake them up, so they’ll wake up in about 10 minutes.

Before that, I have to explain the purpose of this game to Blade.

For now, I kick Blade on the stomach.

I do this repeatedly until she wakes up. I can hear the sound of her bones breaking and
organs being crushed, but I don’t care.

“Gofuu! Gaa! What? This is?”

Blade wakes up, her whole body covered in bruises. I was having so much fun that I
ended up kicking her hard and in places other than the stomach.

I’m relieved that she woke up before she died.

“This is an abandoned house in the slums.”

“Hii! Forgive me. I won’t disobey you anymore. I won’t disobey.”

Oh, it seems her heart was about to break from the punishment she received.
That’s boring. I thought she would have a stronger heart, but…

Oh well. Let’s start the game as planned.

“Feel free to disobey me. But I don’t know what you can do with hands that can’t hold
a sword and legs that won’t walk.”

After I said that, Blade realizes she’ll never be able to stand on her own two feet again,
and her face contorts with despair.

I don’t feel sorry for her. This woman forcibly attacked and sometimes killed
vulnerable women.

She’s scum that deserves to die.

And above all, she stole the lovely Keara’s lips and held the proof of my being a man.
That is a crime that requires more than just death.

“Stop, let me go home. I’ll do anything.”

She unexpectedly kneeled down on the ground.

It was fun to watch, but I can’t let her get away with only that much.

“I have to ask you, just a little while ago, we were in opposite positions, right? If I had
begged then, would you have let me go?”

“O-of course. I only used force to invite you, but I wouldn’t have forced you further if
you really didn’t want to. It’s the truth, believe me.”

I burst out laughing.

What a lame excuse. A woman who drugged another woman unconscious and took
her to her room wouldn’t force herself onto the other if she really didn’t want to.

Is she crazy?

And this woman took my lips, touched my body in the alleyway and grabbed my male
part in her room. She’s already raped me at this point. Rapists need to be punished.
“I see, so you would have let me go if I had asked. In that case, it would be a shame to
kill you no questions asked.”

“W-will you let me go?”

“I’ll let you go if you complete the game we’re about to play. It’s called 『The Gap
Between Appetite And Lust』.”

“Game?”

“Yes, there’s three big dirty men over there. I gave them a potion that makes them feel
such intense hunger that they’ll even eat a human raw, and a potion that makes them
feel such intense sexual desire that they’ll keep shaking their hips until they die.
Because their brain’s limiter is disconnected, it’s really strong. Well, they’ll completely
break down in half a day.”

With a frightened look on her face, the Sword Hero looked at the three men.

“So, here’s the deal. If you can escape from these men until tomorrow morning, you
can go home. Well, you can’t escape normally with this powerless body of yours. How
about I teach you how you can survive this? Show them you’re a woman, and the three
won’t kill you as long as their sexual desire is greater than their hunger. If their hunger
is stronger, they’ll probably eat you alive. If you can satisfy them as a woman until
morning, you’ll survive. Easy, right?”

“T-that’s, by these men, I’ll be-”

“Now, you have two minutes. You can use your feminine weapons to please the men
and live, or reject the men and die by being eaten. Choose whichever you prefer.”

Blade’s body is still being consumed by neurotoxins, muscle relaxants and drugs that
heighten her senses. With no fingers, she can’t hold a sword, and her legs won’t move.

She’s no match for these men.

The only way for her to survive is for her to swallow her pride and keep seducing these
filthy men.

Now, I wonder how big her pride is.

“Oh, maybe the vitality boost was a little strong.”

The men get up. Their muscles and groins are swollen to an impossible size and look
orc-like because of the special energizer.

The men focus their attention on the Sword Hero, who had fallen down and was
unable to move.

Urine is trickling down from the Sword Hero’s crotch.

Then, that woman… tried to seduce the men as best she could with a smile and tears
running down her face.

She took off her underwear and spread her pussy with her fingers.

“D-don’t eat me. H-here, you can rape me, just don’t eat me.”

“Oi oi, is it fine to use that manly tone*? You’re going to get eaten.”

“Hii! Hiii! Please make love to me! I’m so wet. It’ll feel good if you put it inside me!”

Blade shouts as she stirs her pussy with her fingers, making a wet sound.

The big men, who smelled a lascivious woman, looked at Blade with eyes filled with
animal lust and turned into monsters.

“Ahahahahahahahahaha! The Sword Hero easily gives her body to men. To these men
you consider to be inferior creatures, the lowest of the low.”

She hates men and pretended to be a young nobleman just to eat women, but she’s
just a nasty bitch who’s desperately trying to seduce men.

Her heart has completely broken. This sight is comical, ludicrous, and it makes me
laugh from the bottom of my heart.

The men cover Blade.

The first one thrusts his dick inside her. She still wasn’t wet enough, and the drug made
them abnormally large, so the insertion made a ripping noise.

It seems that Blade has not developed well because she spends all her time making
love to women.

Blood was flowing.

“It hurts! Hurts, it hurts!”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The man starts shaking their hips, not caring about that at all.
Another man puts his cock in her mouth.

And the third one bites her armpit.

“It huuutsh!!”

Apparently, the third man had no place to satisfy his sexual desire, so he turned to his
hunger.

Will Blade be eaten like this? As I was thinking that, she started stroking the third
man’s cock with her hand.

“Ooooou, oooou.”

The third man took his mouth away from her armpit. Apparently, he was satisfied with
the handjob.

You’re trying really hard, aren’t you?

The men’s movements intensify. They release their sperm into Blade and pull out.

It’s a huge amount. With just one shot, her vagina is overflowing and her mouth is
spilling. Blade’s whole body has been stained white.

The men’s eyes were filled with hunger. They did what they wanted to do, so the next
step is to eat, right?

“Don’t eat me, don’t eat me. I can s-still make you feel good aaaaa!”

With a sad face and tears on her eyes, Blade shows her pussy and stirs up the semen.

Just in time, it seems the men’s libido won out. Round 2.

This time, maybe learning from her first failure, she also shows her anus and takes a
man there as well.

Blade takes on the men with her mouth, pussy and anus.

She’s no longer the masculine woman that has had sex with many women, she’s just a
sow.
“Ahahahaa, bunch of idiots. You’re going to make me die laughing.”

Well, let’s see if she can keep these guys excited until morning. She almost lost to their
hunger when the first round ended.

It’s going to be tough.

It’s going to be a long night, so I brought drinks and snacks.

I’ll take my time and watch it.

This is the best show just for me.

*TN: Blade uses “boku” to refer to herself, which is a masculine way of saying “I”. From
the next line onwards, she uses “watashi” which is more general/feminine.
Morning came.

It was quite a fun spectacle.

I didn’t expect the Sword Hero to work so hard.

It was amusing to see her trying to seduce the men without any hint of shame.

Well, in the end, she fought in vain and was eaten.

I want to praise her for making it to round 5.

Near the end, the men had lost all sense of reason and were being so rough with her
that her body could no longer be called a woman.

She wasn’t even making an attempt at all. Above all, her heart was on the verge of
breaking.

So, being the kind person that I am, I took the form of princess Flare and cheered her
up. After all, she was in love with and worshiped princess Flare.

I thought it would cheer her up, but on the contrary, it broke her heart and she gave
up everything and was eaten. Common sense would have told her it was just me in
disguise, but the way she pleaded 『Don’t look at this ugly me, princess Flare』was
simply a masterpiece.

By the way, I took care of the three big men.

It’s better for the world if I kill this trio who attacks women.
Also, I was clad in the smell that these drug addicts hate, but they lost to the extreme
hunger and attacked me.

It was legitimate self-defense.

“Kukuku, ahahahahahahaha, aa, that’s another revenge complete.”

The three Heroes I had decided I would never forgive.

Magic Hero Flare had her memories erased and now serves me as my servant.

Sword Hero Blade threw away her pride and continued to flirt with men until she died.

The only one left is Gun Hero Bullet.

Bullet is a dark-skinned muscular man.

He’s a homosexual who likes shotas. I can’t let him live either.

At the same time as I deal with the current Demon Lord for Eve, I’ll track him down.
I’ll definitely kill him.

Aah, I still have nightmares. I’m going to kill that crazy gay fucker the worst way
possible.

One more step until my revenge is over. I’ll keep doing my best.

Well then.

“Transformation Heal.”

I abandoned the appearance of Keara, which I had used for a while now, and returned
to the form of Keyaruga.

Then, I changed into the clothes I had prepared in advance.

After all, I feel more comfortable in this form.

Let’s go back to Setsuna and the others.

I feel good.

I also got some loot. The Divine Arms. It’s better to sign the contract once you have a
clear image of what you want than signing it with just a vague idea. A weapon just for
me. I want to get the best one.

When I returned to the inn, Setsuna and Freia greeted me.

“Welcome back, Keyaruga-sama.”

“Did your work go well?”

“Yeah, it went perfectly. I did what I set out to do. And I obtained information as well.”

I did it for revenge, but the real goal was to gather information.

The memories of the Sword Hero Blade are clearly visible.

In three days, the younger sister princess, Norn, is going to make a false accusation
against the lord of this city, and a large-scale cleanup mission is going to begin.

We have to make as much money as possible before then. Later, I’ll go to the merchant
Karman to confirm the potion sales and deliver the additional amounts.

“At the earliest, three days from now, this city is going to be overrun by Jioral
Kingdom’s forces. As someone with a heart of justice, I can’t overlook this. I want to
do something to prevent it. If I do so, I’ll be a wanted man. Let’s prepare to flee.”

If this city that I love is destroyed, I’ll have no choice but to take revenge.

…Especially if Karman, the merchant I trusted and befriended, got killed. The gentle
Keyaruga-sama will turn into a ruthless revenge demon.

“Un. Make preparations.”

“Yes, we’ll need to stock up on things we need for the trip as soon as possible.”

The two of them that are used to traveling can think on their own and act accordingly.
“But it’s a shame. Keyaruga-sama has already gone back to your usual appearance.
Keyaruga-sama was cute as a girl.”

“Setsuna also sad… just a little, wanted to be held by Keyaruga-sama in that form.”

Freia and Setsuna look at me with faces full of regret.

That’s quite rude. I surprisingly like this Keyaruga face.

If they’re going to insist that much, I’ll do some naughty teasing with them in Keara’s
form next time.

Keara isn’t a sex change, so she has the necessary tool.

“That’s right. Freia, do you want this dress?”

I take out the dress I needed to get into the high class bar as Keara.

I probably won’t wear it again. It’s dirty, but it can be used if washed.

It’s too big for Setsuna or Eve, so if I have to give it to someone it has to be Freia.

“Well, I appreciate the sentiment, but… my breasts.”

Hearing those words, I look at Freia’s chest.

Yeah, this is impossible.

No matter how hard I try, the size is just too different.

“That’s too bad. Guess I’ll sell it. It probably won’t fetch a lot though.”

Freia looked at the dress with regret.

But it can’t be helped. What doesn’t fit doesn’t fit.

After lunch, the four of us, including Eve, went outside.

It was to prepare for the trip.

In order to get the money for our journey, we went to Karman first.

My pouch had a large amount of potions to restock him.

If the potion sold well, he would buy my replenishments as well. Now, how did the
sales go?

“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you, nii-san. All the potions were sold. It was a tough time,
since there were people who actually used them coming since morning asking if there
were more. I was looking forward to your resupply.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I properly brought them.”

As I had hoped, the potions were selling like crazy.

I exchange the contents in my pouch for gold coins.

With this much, I won’t have to worry about money for a while.

I have a friendly chat with Karman.

“Hohou, it’s surprising to find a first-class potion in a city like this.”

A gentleman in his prime age calls out to me from behind.

“Oh, you have good eyes. We’re the only ones in this city selling potions of such quality.”

I turn a little pale.

That guy is a superhuman who noticed me watching him when Jioral Kingdom’s
knights came into the city, Hawkeye.

He’s wearing casual clothes now, but even then he was still dressed in stylish red
clothes.

…The biggest problem is that I didn’t let my guard down while chatting. I simply failed
to notice this guy’s approach.
One of the Three Heroes. More of a monster than I imagined.

“Are you the creator of this potion?”

I nodded, since it was no use trying to deceive him.

“At such a young age, it’s quite admirable. You’re a skilled Alchemist. I would like to
invite you to my house. Not only are you good at alchemy, but you’re also good at
peeping and can handle yourself in a fight.”

I reflexively jump and put my hand on my sword’s handle.

My instincts made me do it.

As I thought, it was no coincidence that our eyes met at that time.

Did he catch me from that distance?

“As expected, you have good reactions. You felt the lightest killing intent and
immediately got into fighting stance. I’m liking you more and more. I am a knight, Trist
Organ. I’ve also been given the name Hawkeye. What do you think? I can pay you.”

“I refuse. I like to travel freely.”

Hawkeye… Trist covers his eyes with his hand and makes an exaggeratedly sad
expression.

“That’s a shame. In any case, I should get to work. May I ask you to answer why you
were watching us from afar?”

“…I’m a traveling Alchemist. If such a large army shows up in a city, I’d be on guard.”

“Umu, that’s right. But let me give you a warning. You should not behave in a way that
can be misunderstood. We’ll have to respond accordingly. Young talented people are a
national treasure. It pains me to see them being plucked out.”

There’s something amazing about him.

I’m not confident I can win in a head-to-head fight.

No, even a surprise attack seems difficult. I don’t see a clear weakness like with the
Sword Hero.

“I’ll be careful. I appreciate the warning.”

“It’s good to be honest. Merchant, can I have 10 healing potions and 10 stamina
potions?”

“Alright.”

And so, Hawkeye purchased the potion and left.

Setsuna tugs my hem.

“That person, amazing. Shaking when saw him.”

Hou, Setsuna could tell?

“Who do you think is stronger, me or him?”

“If it’s pure strength, then Keyaruga-sama. But there something deeper about him.
Probably can’t win.”

“I agree.”

I think I can overwhelm him with my physical ability.

The abilities of the Heroes in my body should be greater than his.

Still, for some reason, I don’t feel like I can win.

I feel depressed.

The biggest obstacle in killing princess Norn is him.

It will be difficult to sneak past such a guard and kill princess Norn.

But I can’t not do it. There is a strong possibility that she’s the real mastermind behind
the attack on my village, and she’s an evil entity that wants to burn down this city that
I’ve grown to love.
I, with my strong sense of justice, can’t overlook her. If I let her live, tragedies will be
born one after another!

We have three days before they make their move. In the meantime, I’ll think of various
plans.

For example, it might be a good idea to borrow the appearance of the missing Sword
Hero.

That woman would easily be able to reach the core of the operation.

…For now, I’ll leave the thinking for later.

“Thanks, Karman. I’ve got some funds now.”

“Nii-san, I’m grateful that I’ve been able to make a lot of money. I’ll be counting on you
tomorrow as well.”

“Of course.”

I parted ways with Karman.

Now that I have the money, let’s do some shopping.

“Keyaruga-sama, the skewers in that stall look delicious.”

“I’m a little short on spare underwear, so if you could buy me some, that would be
great…”

“Please buy me the knife you promised. I found a cute one over there.”

It seems that Setsuna and the others have each found something they’re interested in.

I just finished the big job of getting rid of the Sword Hero.

At least today, I’ll take it easy and enjoy it.

And, starting tomorrow, I’ll become a hunter who is hunting a new target.
“Setsuna, Freia, Eve. I’m going to do some mental concentration in the back room, so
make sure to not come in.”

“Un, understood. Make sure to wait.”

Setsuna, who was lying naked in bed breathing heavily, replied with an excited
expression.

Until just a few minutes ago, I was making plenty of love to Setsuna and Freia.

Thanks to that refreshment, a good idea came to me. When in doubt, have lots of sex
first. That’s the best way to refresh your mind.

I went into the back room in high spirits.

Then, I concentrate my mind.

I will now make a contract with the Divine Arms.

With the Sword Hero’s death, the Divine Arms returned to its original form, a red
round jewel.

It can’t be used as a weapon in this state. When a Hero makes a contract with it, the
Divine Arms reads the owner’s mind and takes the desired form.

To make a contract, all you have to do is hold the jewel in your bare hands.

For example, the Sword Hero had a luxuriously decorated sword, Divine Sword
Ragnarok.

Reflecting her flashy personality, the sword that manifested was decorated with
luxurious and eye-catching ornaments, and it wasn’t just a sharp sword. It didn’t
break, bend or chip and could be used for general slashing attacks.

For example, the Gun Hero holds the Holy Canon Taslam. An unrefined silver canon,
but full of functional beauty.

It’s a perfect reflection of a veteran’s functionally-oriented thinking. Its greatest

feature is the endless supply of bullets.

For example, the Magic Hero had Vanargand, a divine staff made of the World Tree.

It’s an elegant and refined staff, the way she likes it.

Originally, staffs have attributes they are suited or unsuited for depending on the
material they’re made from. But Vanargand has the best compatibility with all
attributes, in order to make the most of Flare’s power, who can use the four major
ones. It also has very good magic power gathering power and calculation efficiency.

The Divine Arms becomes the weapon the user desires.

On the other hand, if the user makes a mistake in what they want, the Divine Arms will
be wasted, and the contract can’t be canceled unless the user dies.

So, I carried it while trying to not touch it with my bare hands and waited until I had
a solid image of the best weapon for me.

“Actually, I wanted to think about it more carefully.”

But the circumstances that came up make it impossible for me to do that.

Hawkeye. That man is dangerous.

I must have the Divine Arms before the attack in three days.

The image of the weapon I want has become quite solidified.

“What I want… is revenge against those who once wronged me. What I need for that
is strength. I will gain strength unique to me by strengthening my Heal’s power. Also,
I can never die. If I die, I can never take revenge. How could I die without finishing my
revenge?”
My revenge isn’t finished yet.

I need strength. And I also need strength to survive.

Thanks to Corruption Heal, I have enough offensive power, but my own body’s
strength isn’t that high.

Even though I can Heal any injury or illness, if I’m taken by a surprise attack, my body
may be destroyed before I can use Heal. I want to get rid of that weakness.

Strongly, I pray with all my strength.

I imagine a specific shape to fulfill that desire.

A weapon suitable for me, a Healer who doesn’t seem like a Healer.

It just appeared in my head. The image of my new weapon.

“Now, let’s make a contract.”

With all my heart, I take off my gloves and grab the blood-colored jewel.

I can painfully feel the heat and magic power.

That’s now all.

Something is whispering to my soul.

…As expected of the Divine Arms. A weapon with will. It’s interesting.

『Do you seek me, o Healing Hero?』

“Yes, I will take your everything. Devote yourself to me.”

I put strength into my soul.

Reply to willpower with willpower.

What a strength of existence. I’m trembling.

『I ask you, Hero, are you prepared to save the world?』

A very typical question.

I smile fiercely.

Am I prepared to save the world?… of course I am.

“Of course.”

I’m not making things up.

I love this world.

I love this world that lets me live an amusing life as much as I want.

I love this world where I can spend time with the cute Setsuna and Eve.

So, if this world is in danger, I’m willing to help.

What will I do if I don’t protect my world?

『Then, I will lend you my strength to fulfill my duty.』

*Thump*

My heart beats faster.

The sound gets louder and louder.

Power flows into me. It resonates with the Hero power in me.

“So this is a Divine Arms.”

How sneaky. Did the Sword Hero and the others have such a power?

The warmth feels good. Even without touching myself, I feel like this heat alone will
make me climax.

『What do you ask of me?』

“I want overwhelming power and immortality. Now, transform into what I want.”

I put strength into the hand that’s holding the red jewel.

Souls overlap.

The red jewel glows more intensely, gets hotter, and then shatters.

The shattered jewel becomes particles, gathers in one place and changes its
appearance.

From our connected souls, it reads my will and changes into the form I desire.

The intense light stops, and the Divine Arms, reborn for my sake, shows itself to me.

It was a gauntlet.

A silver gauntlet decorated with jewels and engraved with a detailed crest.

The distinctive feature is a slit on the front. It plays an important role.

『From now on, I will be the weapon of the Healing Hero. My name is Divine Armor
Georgius. Never forget it.』

“Yeah, as if I would forget. Divine Armor Georgius, you are mine.”

Divine Armor Georgius.

A weapon just for me.

I can’t stop laughing.

Aah, I always wanted a Divine Arms.

Now I am a true Hero.

I no longer heard Georgius’ voice. It had done what it had to and went to sleep.

“I’ll be counting on you. I’ll use your power to the fullest. For the sake of my world.”
I put Georgius on my arm.

At that moment, I felt the pain of prickling. A thin needle, invisible to the naked eye,
was inside Georgius and it pierced me.

My nerves connected to it.

I can understand everything about Georgius. It has exactly the functions I wanted.

First, as a basic function, it takes in the magic power… mana from the world around it
to automatically protect my body.

And then there’s the important part. After turning off the automatic defense function,
I take out my knife and slit my right wrist, causing blood to gush out.

It was healed in an instant.

“As expected. With this, I won’t die.”

The main feature is the Auto Heal function.

This function connects to my nerves and forcibly heals me every time my life is in
danger.

This means that even if I am mortally wounded, unconscious, or poisoned so I can’t

move a finger, as long as I’m alive I can Heal myself.

As long as I don’t run out of magic power, I can do anything except die instantly.

“I guess I can’t test my offensive abilities here. Until now, Corruption Heal could only
be used if I touched the opponent, but it’s different now.”

And there’s one more function hidden.

That’s this slit on the front.

Unlike the other two functions, this is an ability for attacking.

I can’t wait to use it.

“Fuhahaha, it’s more than I expected, the Divine Arms.”

I didn’t expect it to be this good.

With this, it won’t be too hard to deal with Hawkeye.

Well, my business is done.

I have to prepare for the tragedy that will happen in three days.

Also, I have to go to the restaurant Karman introduced for dinner.

Such a nice place. It would be a shame to not enjoy it while we can.

Let’s enjoy it as much as possible with Setsuna and the others.

“I hope I get the chance to fully enjoy this guy’s performance soon.”

I said as I gently stroked Georgius.

His first battle isn’t too far away.

When it comes, I’ll let him enjoy plenty of blood. This guy wants it as well.

I smile broadly and return to the room where the three girls are waiting for me.

This guy got me all excited. I need to embrace women to calm myself. I feel sorry that
I just gave them plenty of love, but I’ll have Setsuna and Freia put in a bit more hard
work. I can’t help it with how excited I am.
After I obtained the Divine Arms, I infiltrated the Holy Lance chivalric order led by the
younger sister princess.

I switched places with one of the knights on guard to check the situation.

The purpose is to gather information and lay the foundations for victory.

After all, the disappearance of the Sword Hero is a big deal.

The Jioral army has set up camp by spreading tents on the outskirts of Buranikka.

Some of them, including the younger sister princess and some senior officers, have
been provided with lodging in the city as noble guests, but the majority of them have
been living here.

Currently, they’re desperately searching for the Sword Hero. If the Sword Hero went
missing and was assassinated, it means the other side has a monster that can kill the
Sword Hero.

A Hero’s fighting power is overwhelming.

A Hero alone is comparable to an army division. In other words, to fight someone that
can kill the Sword Hero, they’d have to prepare an entire division.

“Oi, Harris, it’s time to switch. We have an early morning tomorrow. Go home and rest.”

“I’ll take your kind offer.”

Now, time to get to work.

I was currently disguised as Harris Krillton, a senior knight.

I thought about pretending to be Sword Hero Blade, but a day had passed and there’s
a greater risk of them being suspicious.

So, just yesterday there was a stupid knight who was drunk and violent in my favorite
bar, so I took advantage of him.

…This guy tried to reach out to Setsuna’s ass.

He must have had a lot of courage to try and mess with my property (toy).

Of course, I knocked his hand off, but he got mad and attacked me. Maybe it was my
fault though since I put a little too much strength and broke his wrist. I guess it is my
fault.

And then he pulled out his sword against me. What a scumbag.

Even if I accidently happened to hit the bottom of his chin and fractured his cervical
vertebrae, it would be considered an act of god.

The only thing I appreciate is that he had plenty of money and goods with him.

The dead man no longer needed it, so I collected it and used it to add to my funds.

I took Harris’ place and entered the Holy Lance’s camp.

Now then, work, work.

“I can’t fight properly against this many opponents after all.”

I thought again as I snuck into the camp.

As an ally of justice, I want to protect this city from the younger sister princess, but
there’s just too many enemies.

A realistic strategy would be to collide with the Buranikka garrison and target them
when their strength is reduced and they’re in disarray, but even that is difficult under
the current circumstances. The knights of the Holy Lance are too strong.
With the military power this city possesses, they’ll be done for in an instant.

So, I’ll make a few adjustments.

If they’re too strong, I just have to make them weaker.

I knock some of them out, take their memories with Heal and find the location of the
food deposit.

In war, it’s basic to aim for supplies.

The knights are sleeping soundly.

“Now then, a special Keyaruga-brand potion. A slow-acting version with plenty of

monster poison. Now, time to show them hell.”

If I used the fast-acting version, the first few dozen or so people would notice and the
damage wouldn’t spread very far.

But with a slow-acting one, it’ll be discovered too late to the point where it’s already
spread everywhere and they can’t recover.

So I prepared something that’ll make them feel sick in about half a day, and after a day
they’ll feel hellish pain.

This way, the drug will start to circulate just as the fighting begins. Since it’s slow-
acting, its power will inevitably be weakened, but it will still cause pain all over the
body, making them scream as their stomach twists, and creating a hilarious situation
of a flood below.

“Funfunfun♪ obviously the aim is the wine.”

Along with water, military marches often carry wine, which is non-perishable and
boosts the soldiers’ morale. As I thought, there’s plenty of wine barrels here.

And, in Jioral Kingdom, it’s traditionally served on the eve of battle to boost the
soldiers.

I checked the memories I got with Heal and confirmed that the Holy Lance knights
also had that custom.
The wine barrels were lying around.

“I can put all the poison I want.”

Quick, let’s get the job done.

I open the wine barrel and lightly tilt the potion bottle. Two or three drops are enough.
If I put in more, it won’t be slow-acting.

If I use my Alchemist’s ability to refine the monsters’ poison, it’ll be as potent as this.

“It’ll take about two hours to fill all the barrels.”

This is a big group. There are more than 100 barrels. And this isn’t the only food
storage.

I have to go to several places.

I patiently poured poison into all the barrels.

“I just barely had enough potions.”

Because I was using monster poison, I didn’t have that much on hand, but their stock
was more than I imagined.

But I made sure to pour poison into all the wine barrels.

When I think of the knights’ sorry sight on the battlefield, writing with stomach pain
and dripping with diarrhea, I can endure these troublesome things. Even the strongest
chivalric order can’t fight properly with diarrhea.

Should I take my leave now?

It would have been better if I could have attacked the younger sister princess, but she
and the senior officers are still in the city.

Besides, princess Norn isn’t yet a target of revenge. It’s against my policy to attack her
at this moment.
Also, I learned from the information I gathered that Hawkeye is with princess Norn.

I don’t want to meet him. That man might realize it’s me in disguise. If that happened,
the poisoned wine that took so much effort to prepare might be discovered.

It wouldn’t matter if I killed him, and now that I have the Divine Arms, I can win 8 or
9 times out of 10. On the other hand, I might lose 1 or 2 of those times.

I have learned from my two encounters with him. His strength lies in his eyes. Not only
does he have excellent eyesight, he has a keen eye for observing even the slightest
muscle movements, and he has amazing dynamic vision. And there’s his superhuman
reflexes that allow him to make the most of his eyesight.

But there’s also a weakness.

Eyes that see too much are hard on the body. It’s not suitable for long battles. If his
army suffers from diarrhea and the front collapses, he has to follow up. Then, I’ll aim
for when he’s exhausted.

He’s also a human. If his stomach gets sick because of the special wine and he’s worn
out in the battlefield where he’s outnumbered, he’ll be easy to kill.

I grin as I leave the food storage.

The day that they’ll attack this city has finally come.

I’ve already left the inn. Since Hawkeye was suspicious of me, I needed to change my
base.

I rented a house, and we were all armed watching the city from the window.

Jioral Kingdom’s army immediately begins to move.

The knights came one by one, fully armed.

All the residents are carefully looking out their windows to observe the situation.
Now, what will they do? I’m also looking attentively.

At the head of the group was a gaudy carriage.

Somehow, the carriage opens to create a stage.

It’s quite an interesting carriage. If possible, I’d like to retrieve it later.

Standing there was a beautiful girl with peach colored hair, just like princess Flare. A
contradictory existence that looks dignified, yet pretty, yet graceful.

Unlike her sister, princess Norn is a genius with no special powers, and has even seized
great power inside Jioral Kingdom with just her brains.

“Everyone, please listen. We came to save this city that is under the demons’ control.
The demons are not satisfied with just treating humans like livestock and drinking
human blood, so they are accumulating power here in order to extend their poisonous
fangs to other cities.”

She might be using some kind of voice amplification magic, but her voice resonates
well.

She’s saying whatever she wants.

The residents of this city only willingly give their blood in order to lighten their taxes.

In the first place, it’s only because Jioral Kingdom abandoned them that they chose to
coexist with the demons and managed to achieve peace that way. It’s not something
other people can talk about now.

“Shut up! We’re doing fine! Nobody asked you to save anyone!”

One of the residents came to the front of the carriage.

He looked familiar. If I recall, it’s the old man that sold me vegetables.

I thought he had died in the Mad Cows’ attack, but it seems he’s still alive and doing
well.

When the old man shouted, the residents came out one after another saying “that’s
right.”

“Even demons are good customers!”

“They can do things humans can’t!”

“Outsiders shouldn’t say whatever they want, go home! Go home!”

Before I knew it, about 30 or so people had gathered and told them to leave.

Princess Norn saw this and smiled. She raised her hand… and then lowered it.

At the same time, the knights drew their swords and charged, killing all the people in
front of the carriage.

“How scary! These people have been brainwashed by the demons. Aah, what a cruel
thing to do. Not only do they rule with fear, they also steal their hearts with
brainwashing…”

With her theatrical voice and gestures, she played the tragic heroine. She was even
polite enough to shed a few tears.

“But don’t worry. We will now carry out justice. We will save this city by killing all the
demons. We’ll kill the demons, and also save the brainwashed people by killing them.”

The pretty girl says such cruel things with her pretty lips.

This girl calls herself justice. In my experience, there’s no true good people that do
that. No matter how I look at her, she’s crazy. No sane person would use the world
“justice” so lightly.

“Hey, you guys aren’t brainwashed, are you? You’re not going against us to defend the
demons, are you? If you’re sane, it’s normal to cooperate with us! If not, we’ll kill and
save the brainwashed people. I’ll repeat. You’re not brainwashed, are you?”

The pretty girl laughs happily. She has an innocent expression, like a puppy playing on
a field of flowers.

This girl is completely insane.

She knows they’re not brainwashed.

This is a threat for the humans. She’ll kill them if they don’t cooperate.

And the people she just killed are an example.

If they see something like this, everyone will try to protect themselves, even if they
have to abandon the demons.

Then, the humans that sold out the demons they lived with will be filled with guilt,
and to escape that they’ll later say that they were exploited by the demons.

Once that happens, princess Norn will be right. She’ll be praised for saving humans
from demons both in name and in reality.

This is princess Norn’s method.

Absolutely unforgivable. This kind of barbaric act is not something that the Healing
Hero, a true ally of justice, can overlook.

What’s with carrying out justice? I’ll show them true justice.

I clenched my fists as I looked over the situation outside.

“I really liked that old man’s store. Ah, the owner of my favorite food stall has also been
killed, and over there the lady from the utensils’ shop was killed as well. They were
nice people who even gave me discounts. Yeah, her points are quite high. The revenge
points are adding up nicely.”

I have been in this city for a while and have gotten to know quite a few people. I don’t
like the idea of my acquaintances being harmed.

At princess Norn’s command, the knights attacked the demons one after another.

It was becoming a one-sided battle. The demons resist, but the Holy Lance knights are
too strong. Their movements are a bit sluggish, but it doesn’t seem like the poison has
taken full effect yet.

Another demon was killed. I couldn’t help but scream.

“Karman!!”

Karman’s store was attacked.

Then, he was felled by a sword. He was already beyond help.

“It can’t be. He was my first friend in this city and he was a good guy! Why did he have
to dieeeeeeeeee?! Unforgivable, it’s unforgivable, I won’t forgive that! After all, my
friend was killed!”

Now I can finally start my revenge.

Tears spill over the loss of my friend. I will wipe away those tears and carry out true
justice.

You died well, Karman. Your death won’t be in vain.

And if… when I capture princess Norn and look through her memories, if it turns out
she’s really the mastermind behind the attack on my village…
“It’s going to become something serious. Both my hometown and my friend were
taken away from me, so ordinary revenge won’t suffice.”

I won’t let her off with just dying.

The Sword Hero was allowed to die, but princess Norn won’t be allowed. I will make
her pay for the rest of my life.

Just like Freia, she’ll become my convenient toy. It’ll be convenient to have her brains
with me. Besides, a sister bowl*, even more so a princess sister bowl, seems quite
delicious. I can’t help but feel my lower half get energized.

Now, let’s go. From here on, it’ll be the heroic tale of the Healing Hero who will save
the world.

I will save Buranikka, which has been dyed in despair and turned into hell.

*TN: Shimaidon. I opted to keep it as sister bowl because of the food analogies that
Keyaruga makes every now and then.
I started taking action with Setsuna and the others.

Everyone is hiding their appearance with robes.

We planned to escape using a basement, which I had previously prepared by

manipulating the soil with alchemy magic. Eve is a genuine demon, and although
Setsuna is a demi-human, I doubt they’ll distinguish between them. Both of them are
in serious danger of being attacked.

What I didn’t expect was that they attacked first thing in the morning.

I thought they’d take action a bit later. Thanks to that the poison I put in the wine
hadn’t fully circulated yet.

I’m sure that they drank the poisoned wine, but I need to stall for time.

I’ll only attack princess Norn after the poison has begun to show its effects, the
kingdom’s army has been weakened, and a fight breaks out with the demons. Until
then, I’ll wait in the basement.

The worst thing that can happen is that the lord of this city sides with Jioral Kingdom.

They may even sell the demons in order to keep the humans alive.

If that happened, this entire city would turn against the demons, and the struggle
would only last for a moment.

As expected of the woman I considered the most dangerous.

She was able to create this situation just by giving a speech before the start of the
battle.

“Keyaruga-sama, what’s wrong?”

I stopped at the entrance of the basement. The scene I had just seen from the window
flashed in my mind.

It was the sight of the people that had become my acquaintances being attacked.

Setsuna and the others, who were going to the basement first, were looking at me with
worried looks.

“I just, have a little bit of work to do. You girls wait here.”

I closed the entrance to the basement and rushed out to the city.

…If princess Norn acted in a way I didn’t expect, I can’t just keep my arms crossed.

I have to take appropriate measures for the situation.

My original plan was to hide in the basement until the poison I put in the wine did its
job.

But princess Norn took action early in the morning, and also she bound the hearts of
the humans of Buranikka with her speech. At this rate, the war will end before the
poison does its job.

In order to take action, I need to first access the current situation. I ran up the wall of
the tallest nearby building and checked the situation with my Jade Eye.

Across the city, the demons were still being overrun by the knights. It was more one-
sided than I expected. As I thought, I can’t just go underground and wait for the poison
to start working.

I just had an idea.

This situation could be overturned if Freia is used well.

But would that be enough? Before I use Freia, I need to make at least one other move.

What is effective in such a situation is to create a commotion and disperse the enemy
forces while reducing their strength as much as possible.

That’s the right idea, but I have to think of a concrete way of achieving it.

Right at that moment, a demon merchant who once gave me vegetables as a freebie
was being chased around by a knight and fell down. The knight was slowly
approaching him with his sword raised while grinning at him.

The figures of the murdered Karman and the merchant in front of me overlapped.

Next thing I knew, I leaped off the building, stepped between the knight and the
merchant, blocked his sword and pierced his throat, which only had light armor
pieces, with my blade.

“Nii-chan… you’re a human, why?”

“I wonder why.”

Uncharacteristically, my body moved before I could think.

“Who the hell are you?!”

“He’s a human being controlled by the demons, let’s kill him to set him free!”

“Purge!”

Because I killed one of them, knights are showing up one after another.

I’m going to start exterminating them as fast as I can.

…This is exhausting. I kill and kill, and they keep calling for reinforcements.

Saving a few demons in a place like this has no direct impact in the overall war
situation.

But, it’s not bad.

If a special force that can’t be defeated even if dozens of knights attack, an irregular
presence that princess Norn didn’t calculate, appears, then princess Norn will have to
dispatch a reasonable force, and if she suspects the existence of a third force, she’ll
have to be careful.

It would buy some time.

I slaughter the reinforcements that appear one after another.

Before I knew it, I had wiped out all the surrounding knights.

The surviving knights are fleeing. They probably think that they can’t fight back with
the forces they have here, even if they call for reinforcements. That’s fine, there’s no
point in this if princess Norn isn’t warned about a threat.

I clenched my fists.

I’m sure it’s going to cause a commotion. But I was still in the process of making a plan,
and my move to save the vegetable merchant was not a thoughtful one.

One wrong step and the outcome would have been completely different.

The demons who had been watching from afar gathered around me.

“Nii-chan, thank you. For saving us.”

“Please come to my store after everything’s over. I’ll give you something.”

“Yeah, you’re a lifesaver.”

I received words of gratitude, but my head was still confused. I wanted to reply, but I
couldn’t think of the right words.

I just nodded and turned away.

I wasn’t trying to help anyone… yes, I’m sure that the moment I saw the vegetable
merchant, my body moved as it realized I could cause some commotion there. Of
course that’s what happened.

I switched my mind’s gears.

I gathered information and made a move to delay princess Norn.

Next is Freia… I’ll make use of the Magic Hero princess Flare.

I enter the basement where Setsuna and the others were.

“Sorry, I’m done with my business.”

Everyone was worried with my sudden departure.

I made some excuses and thought of a plan for the immediate future.

“Keyaruga-sama, what’s happening outside?”

Setsuna asks.

“The demons have called their monsters and are fighting back, but they’re still at a
considerable disadvantage.”

Even if they’re winning in terms of individual strength, the other side is an actual army.
Each person is strong, and their strength can be increased many times through their
organic cooperation.

On the other hand, the demon side doesn’t cooperate with each other and everyone
just acts as they please. Each one is defeated in the end.

Buranikka also seems to have a standing army, but it seems that most of its members
are human.

I wonder if they have the willpower to stand against Jioral Kingdom.

…I doubt it. It takes a lot of determination to fight against another human.

And also, there’s princess Norn, who is lovely and is treated as a hero.

Above all, if they abandon the demons and do nothing, they won’t die.

They won’t be able to fight, and even if they could, morale would be at its lowest.
If this situation isn’t reversed, Jioral Kingdom’s victory will be certain.

That’s why I’ll flip the table using the card that is princess Flare. If they’re using a
princess, we should also use a princess.

Princess Norn’s plan is perfect. The only way to break it is with a piece she didn’t
expect.

“Freia, I need to talk to you.”

“What is it, Keyaruga-sama?”

“I need you to give everyone a bit of courage.”

I’m going to make a secret plan to buy time until the poison circulates inside Jioral
Kingdom’s knights.

It’s a bit risky, but now’s the time to take this risk.

~Inside princess Norn’s private carriage~

“Give me a report.”

Princess Norn was listening to her subordinate’s report on the war situation.

“Yes, even though the resistance from demons and monsters is fierce, we are steadily
defeating them.”

“I see, then how has the lord responded?”

“He hasn’t responded yet.”

“He’s surprisingly persistent. Even though I told him I would leave him in charge of
the city beyond the border if he was a good man and surrendered. Does he really like
these filthy demons this much?”

Princess Norn sighs with boredom.

The outcome of this war was decided the moment she began to speak… no, before the
battle even began.

Princess Norn thinks that it’s foolish to fight a war that you don’t know whether you
can win or not.

She sets up the conditions for victory and secures victory before the war. That’s the
job of a military strategist.

“Fine. It’ll be over soon anyway. He looked like he could be useful, but there’s plenty
of replacements.”

Once the noisy demons are silenced, they can immediately dispose of the remaining
people.

The family of Buranikka’s lord who protected the demons will also be purged.

They will be taught what it means to oppose Jioral Kingdom.

“What about the mysterious swordsman?”

“He hasn’t been seen since the incident in the east section.”

“I’m curious about the irregularities here… Take more men. Be sure to find him.”

“Yes.”

Princess Norn was concerned about the presence of a single reinforcement, a

swordsman who had slain a dozen of knights.

His strength is a threat, but considering the war situation as a whole, it’s a minor
problem.

But princess Norn sensed something about the swordsman. I have a bad feeling about
this. Shouldn’t I destroy him even if I have to use my trump card, Hawkeye? That’s
what she was thinking.

“…Princess, I have something of interest to report.”

“What is it?”
“There are many of our soldiers who have been feeling unwell.”

“Can they able to fight?”

“Yes, they can fight.”

“Then it’s fine. At worst, it’ll end in a day. After the battle is over, let them rest well.”

After saying that, princess Norn lost interest and tilted her glass.

Juice was poured there.

She can’t drink alcohol. In Jioral Kingdom, drinking is allowed from the age of 12, but
princess Norn hates the bitterness of alcohol.

This saved her.

Unlike adults, she’s just a girl and her resistance is weak. If she had drunk the poisoned
wine, she would have thrown out all kinds of things in an unsightly way by now.

To her side was Hawkeye.

Princess Norn came to the frontlines because she needed to make use of her weapon:
the princess speech.

However, she would normally be in the rear. The strongest bodyguard, Hawkeye, was
deployed to eliminate any concerns.

Originally, it should be the Sword Hero there as well, but someone got rid of her.

Princess Norn believes she was probably caught in some honey trap.

The fighting prowess of the Sword Hero is out of the ordinary, surpassing even that of
the Sword Saint.

There’s no way she would lose in a head-to-head match, but she has a weakness. Her
insatiable lust. If she were attacked then, she could be killed.

With that in mind, she investigated and discovered that the Sword Hero had gotten
infatuated with some woman and taken her to bed.
Princess Norn deduced that it was probably that woman who killed her.

And she was right.

“I’m concerned about the swordsman, but it’s mostly been decided. It’s only a matter
of time… Now then, looks like I don’t have any more work to do, so how can I relieve
my boredom?”

She wasn’t afraid or anxious even though she was in the middle of a war. That is also
a talent of hers.

Princess Norn yawned.

But, the next moment, she stood up with her eyes open. She heard a voice.

The voice of the woman she hated, loved, looked down on, and secretly admired.

It shouldn’t have been possible to hear it here.

An impossible voice.

The voice that belonged to the first princess, Flare.

“Onee-sama, what are you doing here?”

Princess Norn opened her eyes, opened the window, and looked outside.

Then, she saw princess Flare’s face reflected in the sky with wind magic.

~In the slums~

“Well, it’s about time to start. Are you ready, Freia?”

“Yes, of course!”

I’ll counter a princess with another princess.

Just as she has bound the hearts of the people of this city, I’ll also bind the hearts of
Jioral Kingdom’s soldiers.

Freia and I were on the roof of an abandoned house.

Then, with my wind magic, I projected Freia’s appearance into the sky. Not only that, I
also increased the volume of Freia’s voice and made it echo far away.

This is magic that only I can perform.

The control is too sensitive. I set up my skills to specialize in wind magic and I used
Transformation Heal to maximize my talents in magic, and that’s how I was finally able
to use it.

Princess Flare reflected in the skies had sad eyes.

After all, beautiful girls from royalty are picture perfect. She’s worthy of being praised
as a saint.

Princess Norn has charisma, but Freia… princess Flare’s popularity exceeds that.

Everyone on the battlefield looked at the sky with a stunned face.

Princess Flare then opened her mouth.

“Everyone, please listen. I am the first princess of Jioral Kingdom, Magic Hero Flare
Arlgrande Jioral.”

Her voice is beautiful. Just listening to it is enchanting.

Even though she’s rotten on the inside, princess Flare’s voice makes me think she’s
loved by the gods.

“I spent some time in this city for a certain purpose. During those days, I’ve become
convinced that humans and demons can coexist. In this city, humans and demons lived
and laughed together. There’s no domination, no brainwashing, just living together.”

The soldiers and knights of Jioral Kingdom looked at each other.

They are confused, it’s different from what they heard.

“Despite that, why do such cruel things? The demons in this city are not the enemy. I
don’t mean to say that all demons are good people. There are bad people too. But it’s
the same with humans. The demons in this city are demons that can properly talk with
each other. Please don’t let any more blood be spilled. This is not a holy war. It’s just
slaughtering and pillaging. You are proud knights of Jioral Kingdom’s Holy Lance
chivalric order. Don’t stain your spears, your pride, with the blood of innocent people.”

Princess Flare smiles with eyes filled with sadness and melancholy.

Any man would give up anything to make her laugh.

“This city is like a miracle. It taught me that I can talk with demons and spend time
with them. We can’t afford to lose such a treasure because of our prejudice. Please stop
fighting. In the first place, what is the difference between humans and demons?”

Princess Flare’s words were filled with power.

“I ate, drank and laughed with demons in a bar. Both humans and demons enjoy
delicious food. If they’re happy, they’ll laugh. We’re all the same. One day, a very large
meat pie was served at a restaurant. Humans and demons both cut it into pieces and
ate the big pie while laughing about how delicious it was.”

That meat pie was delicious. Someone chuckled at the sudden mention of everyday
life.

“Isn’t it sad for people to kill each other just because they look a little different? Let’s
wake up. Let’s spread the treasures of this city to the whole world. In other cities,
humans and demons both will laugh about delicious meat pies together. It’s the kind
of world I hope for.”

The effects began to appear more than I expected.

Princess Flare’s overwhelmingly charismatic speech has a mysterious power.

Knights and soldiers began to drop the weapons in their hands. Some were even so
moved they began to cry.

“Let me repeat one last time. Neighbors who look a little different, but who can talk
and laugh together with you. Look at them straight in the eyes. Are they enemies that
must be slain? Proud knights, I believe in you.”
And so ended princess Flare’s speech.

I released my wind magic.

Phew, I’m tired. This magic is hard.

If I’m challenged to a melee fight now, I’ll be a small fry, so I’ll restore my abilities and
talents to what they were before.

Alright, all good.

Also, I changed princess Flare’s appearance back to Freia.

“How was it, Keyaruga-sama?”

“Perfect. It was a good speech.”

Even I, who wrote the manuscript, was moved by it. It’s strange how a manuscript that
I made in five minutes while picking my nose becomes like that the moment princess
Flare puts it into words.

It’s as if she’s a real saint.

“This one was easy for me to say since it aligns with what I really feel.”

Huh? What? Wai-, huh?! Even though she became Freia, princess Flare, who had such
a rotten nature, thinks that way?

I’m surprised. I guess the environment really does change people.

“I see, that’s good. Thanks to Freia, the tide of battle has changed.”

The movements of Jioral Kingdom’s knights are visibility getting worse, and the
citizens’ morale is at an all time high.

The humans of Buranikka, who were trying to sell the demons, also lined up with the
demons and fought.

It’s quite amusing to see humans and demons fighting hand-in-hand, much to the
knights’ confusion.
“Finally.”

Then, the poison in the wine begins to take effect.

The knights were holding their stomachs and their faces were turning blue.

Some even started to have diarrhea leak from their pants.

It’s only going to get worse from here.

Before I knew it, there was a big battle in the city.

The situation went from a one-sided battle where Jioral Kingdom’s army had the
advantage, to one where they were about equal, no, Buranikka’s side was pushing
them.

Now, if I’m going to do anything, it’s now.

I’ll kidnap princess Norn, who carelessly came to the battlefield.

We~ell, I’ll be able to eat a delicious sister bowl.

In terms of looks, they are the most beautiful sisters in the world. When I’m eating the
sister bowl, I’ll have Freia put Flare’s face back on. It’ll be more fun that way. How will
Norn react when she sees me raping Flare right in front of her eyes? It might be a
traumatic experience to see her sister in a slutty and lustful state, begging for a man.

While I was grinning, Freia and I disappeared behind a building.

“You’re smart, but you’re still naive.”

Princess Norn, your strategy was perfect.

But you can’t forget I’m here.

I’ll make you regret that oversight to the death.

Princess Flare’s speech changed the course of battle, which should have ended with
Jioral Kingdom one-sidedly trampling the demons.

The humans of Buranikka, who had abandoned the demons and tried to save
themselves, now stood up and joined hands with the demons to fight.

And Jioral Kingdom’s knights were confused when they saw that.

Also, finally, the poison I put in their wine began to circulate.

It’s a slow-acting but super-powerful laxative.

The knights began to clutch their stomachs and their faces contorted in pain. The ones
that were worst off were staining their pants with diarrhea.

It seems that they can’t even hold their swords and spears properly.

They were easily beaten by Buranikka’s residents.

I watched the scene from the back alley. It was quite a funny and entertaining
spectacle.

Now, it’s about time.

“First, I’ll take Freia to the underground shelter. Then, I’ll act on my own.”

“What are you going to do, Keyaruga-sama?”

“I’m going to end this war. I don’t want to have any more blood from Buranikka’s
people spilling, and I don’t want Jioral Kingdom’s knights, who are just following
orders, to die… that’s why I’m thinking of kidnapping the true culprit, princess Norn,
and ‘persuading’ her.”

That’s just an excuse.

I don’t really care about peace or spilling blood.

I only have one goal: revenge. They killed Karman… they killed my best friend. I won’t
forgive them. I won’t forgive them!!

But, in front of Freia, I’m on a journey to save the world.

Even though her brain will automatically convert it even if I do something a little
reckless, I’ll have some consideration for her. I won’t blatantly show her that it’s for
revenge.

“I’ll come with you!”

Maybe because she became Freia, she seems to have gotten a sense of justice and she’s
really motivated.

But…

“There’s no need for that. Freia’s annihilation power is really valuable, but I plan to do
this as smart as possible. I’ll stealthily kidnap princess Norn with the least possible
amount of victims. With that strategy, Freia would slow me down.”

This kind of stealth action is not suitable for a Magician.

Freia seemed to know this as well, so she didn’t argue any more.

“I understand… it’s frustrating that I can’t be of more help.”

“No, Freia has done her job well enough. Now, let’s hurry up.”

By the time I finish escorting Freia, the poison should have reached its peak
effectiveness.

The Holy Lance knights are bringing out their reserve forces to try and reorganize the
crumbling front.
It should be easy to sneak in that chaos.

After I left Freia in the basement, I randomly knocked out a knight, took him into an
alleyway, stripped off his armor, and used Transformation Heal to gain his memories
and appearance.

“Lucky, I hit the jackpot.”

The knight I knocked out seemed to be an acquaintance of the messenger.

And I know where he is.

If I pretend to be this man to approach the messenger, I can take his place and reach
princess Norn with ease.

That’s thanks to princess Norn stepping into the battlefield herself in order to take
command.

I’m glad she’s so intrusive.

The reason why I was able to capture a soldier that led me to the messenger so easily
was surely because of my daily good behavior. The gods must be watching me.

Or maybe it was Karman in heaven lending me his strength.

I changed my appearance to the royal soldier’s with Transformation Heal.

While my armor was clinging, I started walking.

Disguising myself as a knight, I pretended to be an acquaintance of the soldier who

was on his way to deliver a message, approached him, and easily succeeded in
swapping places with him.

Then, I searched his memories.

As expected of a messenger. I’m glad to know what instructions are being given out.

I can see princess Norn’s strategy.

And also what she’s about to do.

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Aah, that woman is also unlucky. Her messenger was defeated before he could deliver
his message.”

I’ll have to raise that woman’s reputation a grade higher.

She came up with a plan to get the army back on its feed and handed out the
instructions.

“If this instruction had reached the frontlines, it would have been bad. Dangerous, very
dangerous.”

If princess Norn’s plan had been properly communicated, it would have probably
succeeded.

But unfortunately… these orders will never be given.

Because the messenger is fast asleep and switched places with me.

I’ll appear in front of princess Norn as the messenger soldier with a nonchalant look
on my face.

It’s finally the climax.

I walk to princess Norn’s carriage while desperately trying to hold back my grin.

No one can say anything about me.

The knights can’t afford to do it. If it had been the battlefield in a peaceful time, some
might have been suspicious.

But the knights were getting sick one after another and the battlefield was slowly
crumbling down.
They don’t have time to notice my being suspicious.

I entered the carriage where princess Norn is. The guards guarding the entrance of
the carriage remembered the face of the messenger, so they let me through easily.

When I entered, princess Norn was biting her thumbnail.

“What’s going on? I didn’t expect Flare to interfere like this. What’s with equality? She
thinks of demons and demi-humans as nothing more than insects.”

“…The saint wasn’t like that.”

Hawkeye was giving his opinion to princess Norn, who was badmouthing princess
Flare.

Tch, I knew he’d be standing by. It would have been great if he had separated from her
to reorganize the front though.

“Compared to that woman, I’m cute. I discriminate against demons and demi-humans
because of the kingdom’s interests, not because of my emotions, but that woman
discriminates based on her emotions. I’m just curious. That speech is not like her.
Those were not her words.”

Princess Norn lets out an unpleasant sigh.

“What does that mean?”

“First of all, if that woman came up with that speech herself, she would absolutely
unconsciously look down on everyone. But that was an equal look. At that point, it’s
already strange. Second, that woman said she believes in the knights. That’s
impossible. That woman doesn’t believe in others enough to expect goodwill from
others like that. She would have commanded them to believe her or to stop. Third, that
woman would never oppose me.”

It was a terrible thing to say, but she was right on the mark.

As expected of princess Norn.

“From what I’ve seen, she’s being manipulated by someone. The words she said earlier
had nothing to do with her own will. So who exactly is controlling princess Flare? The
only one I can think of is Healing Hero Keyaru. That’s annoying. To think that a special
force would show up here with no apparent purpose or action course. There’s not a
single rational reason for that man to protect Buranikka. I don’t understand.”

I applaud in my heart.

Just by listening to that speech, she was convinced I was behind the scenes.

I like it. That woman is useful. She’s smart.

When I make you my propriety (toy), I’ll make sure to put her brains to good use.

“You, why are you standing there? If you have a report say it quickly.”

“Yes, your highness.”

I suppress my murderous intent and smile and close the distance.

I want to kidnap her right away, but there’s someone in the way.

There are three guards here. One of them is Hawkeye.

Hawkeye seems calm, but the poisoned wine is working.

He’s been able to stand up because of his great endurance and mental strength. But
his combat power has fallen.

The other two don’t seem to be poisoned.

Were they not drinking because they dislike alcohol?

Well, it’s fine. As far as I can see with my Jade Eye, the other two are just normal elite
soldiers.

As long as I bury Hawkeye, the rest is no big deal.

He’s unprepared. My first priority is to get rid of Hawkeye.

I’ll approach the man next to princess Norn and make sure to land the first blow…

Tsk!

I tilt my head. Then something grazes my cheek as it flies away.

Maybe a hidden weapon like a needle. Hawkeye shot it out of his sleeve in an instant.

There was no warning or preliminary movements. He couldn’t have done it unless he

was sure I had replaced the messenger.

The reason I was able to avoid it was because Hawkeye was in bad shape and I was
afraid he might notice me even in this situation.

“As I thought, you avoided it. Such martial arts. What was that joke about being an
Alchemist?”

“How did you know?”

“It’s the way you walk. The weight distribution, the breathing, all those are from a first-
rate warrior. At the very least, it was different from the messenger I saw earlier.”

While engaging in conversation, Hawkeye’s attacks didn’t stop.

He shoots hidden weapons from all kinds of places. He’s a master of the bow in the
battlefield, but when fighting indoors, his style is to switch to using hidden weapons.

Even this conversation was just a way to divert attention.

This time, he pulled out something like a blowgun.

I stop it by pinching it between my fingers. During that time, he closed the distance.
He throws a kick to my face. I dodge with a swayback, and a blade came out of the tip
of his shoe. I blocked it by sticking out my left hand. The blade pierced deeply into my
palm.

The Divine Arms’ Auto-Heal is activated.

I’m thankful. The usefulness of Divine Armor Georgius was immediately proven.
The blade was generously coated with paralyzing poison. I feel a kinship with this kind
of method.

If I didn’t have Auto-Heal, I would have been trapped in a situation where I couldn’t
move because of the paralyzing poison, and even using Heal wouldn’t have been
possible.

But I took the hit because I have Auto-Heal.

While the blade was still stuck in, I grabbed his toes.

Hawkeye’s strength is the world’s best eyes. His overwhelming dynamic vision and
reflexes.

It’s impossible to strike an effective blow unless I show an opening and choose an
impossible option like this.

As long as I touch him, I can get rid of him with Corruption Heal.

Thinking that, I increase my magic power, but Hawkeye twists his ankle. The pain was
too much and I let go. Then, fearing a follow-up attack, I jump back.

After the blade came out, I treated my wound with Heal.

Good grief, I could have killed him if he had hesitated for a few tenths of a second.

“That’s strange. I feel like every secret weapon I use is being read. Besides, that last
poison is one that makes even large monsters unable to move. Why can you still
move?”

“Please keep it to just one question. About the first question, it’s because I also use
hidden weapons. About the second question. I have a constitution that makes it hard
for poison to take effect.”

We both look for an opening.

The two other guards slowly come around behind me.

I’m surrounded.
As expected, I can’t take on two elite knights while dealing with Hawkeye.

I need to take action as soon as possible.

“Healing Hero, give up! It’s a shame. No matter how strong you are, it’s suicidal to
appear in front of Hawkeye.”

Well, that’s certainly true.

Even if he’s been weakened with poison, the situation puts me in a disadvantage. I
can’t go on like this.

It’s insane to try and fight such a monster in an honest manner.

So I’ll use a dishonest method.

Let’s take this opportunity to test out Georgius’ attack ability.

Princess Norn took a deep breath. She’s going to scream and call the knights and
soldiers around us into the carriage. The scream will be followed by a stampede of
enemies.

I don’t have a moment to lose.

I have no choice but to resort to the instant death attack, Corruption Heal, to win the
fight as soon as possible.

But can I keep touching Hawkeye for a few tenths of a second?

The answer is no. But I’ll still do it.

Without any tricks, I rush in.

Then, before I reached the distance where my hand could reach, I thrust out my hand.
It should look like a stupid attack that’s begging to be hit with a counter.

And then, I release my certain kill…

“Corruption Heal.”
A special attack that’s meaningless if I don’t touch the opponent. However, Hawkeye
was watching out for my mana’s rising and kept his guard up, giving up on a counter-
attack.

That became a fatal opening.

Black light is expelled from the slit in front of Divine Armor Georgius and radiates.

The drawback of the one-hit-kill Corruption Heal is that I have to touch the target, but
with Divine Armor Georgius I can send the Corruption Heal.

The distance it can fly is less than one meter. But that small distance is vital in a battle
against a powerful enemy.

“Gufuu, what, it hurts, m-my body-”

Hawkeye’s body swelled unnaturally and bursted.

I can’t break him in a delicate way.

So I forced his cells to multiply. It’s an attack that consumes a lot of magic power, but
it’s effective.

…But it is a bit of a waste. Hawkeye’s abilities, experience and knowledge. I wanted to

use Imitation Heal on them.

“I couldn’t afford to do it.”

I blurted out as I threw one needle and two knives.

When the needle pierced princess Norn’s throat, her voice became muffled and her
scream didn’t echo well. The two knives cut the throat of the remaining knights, who
were just normal elites, and blood gushed out.

The hindrances are gone. No help will come either.

It’s time to get what I came for.

“What, exactly, are you?”

“I’m a prince. I came to kidnap the princess.”

I press a cloth to princess Norn’s mouth.

Her voice was hard to hear because it was crushed by the poisoned needle. I decided
to tell princess Norn why she’s in this mess.

Now, all I have to do is take her home.

“Karman, I will avenge your death. Even if it’s to avenge the death of a friend, it’s still
unforgivable to put my hands on a little girl! No one will be able to extinguish the
flames of revenge in my heart. For the sake of my friend, I will become a beast who has
abandoned his humanity. Karman, watch over me from the afterlife.”

It hurts my consciousness to do such terrible things to princess Norn, who is only 13

years old, but it can’t be helped. After all, this is revenge.

Also, the people of Buranikka will be saved. If the commander disappears in a

disadvantageous situation, Jioral Kingdom’s army will automatically retreat.

As an ally of justice, I feel good.

Now then, how should I bring princess Norn home?

And how will I have fun with her once I bring her home?

I decided to have fun by returning Freia into princess Flare, but I haven’t decided on
the details yet.

“Alright, I thought of something good.”

I’ll have them show me a lot of sisterly love.

If the sisters don’t get along, our future journey will be troubled.

Because both sisters are my property (toy).

What a good person I am. I laughed as I thought about that. It’s going to get fun from
now on.
There were five people inside the luxurious soundproof carriage.

One was me in the form of a messenger, another was Hawkeye Trist Organ, a man so
strong he was called one of the Three Heroes. Two were elite knights in the role of
escorts. And princess Norn, the second princess of Jioral Kingdom.

However, Hawkeye and the knight guards died, and princess Norn couldn’t call for help
because of the poisoned needle I stabbed into her throat.

In short, from here on out, I can do whatever I want.

Now, I don’t have to keep up my messenger disguise.

I undid the Transformation Heal and assumed the form of Keyaru.

“Now then, let me introduce myself again. I’m the Healing Hero Keyaru. I’m the person
who lost everything to you guys.”

Then I smile at her.

First impressions are important because I plan to have a long-term relationship with
princess Norn. I try to smile as much as I can.

But princess Norn has a frightened expression on her face. How rude.

“What in the world is your purpose in doing these things?!”

The volume was low because of the poisoned needle, but I managed to hear her by
enhancing my hearing.

“I had a friend in Buranikka. His name was Karman, a demon merchant. He was a good
guy. We often went drinking together and talked about our dreams. He was smiling
when he said his dream was to someday open a shop in a bigger human city. I wanted
to support his dream.”

This is a city where humans and demons coexist.

Among them, Karman firmly believed that the bond of profit could unite humans and
demons. And he was a demon who loved humans more than anyone else.

“I-I don’t understand.”

“Karman was killed.”

Karman is dead.

His life ended as the owner of a small shop in Buranikka, without fulfilling his dream.

“Yes! Princess Norn, it’s because of the war you started!!”

I screamed.

Princess Norn got up from the magnificent throne that was prepared in the carriage
and tried to escape in a hurry, but she lost her balance and fell down. She tried
crawling on all fours, but I’m not stupid enough to let her escape. I grab her by the
neck, turn her on her back and straddle her body.

“Hey, tell me. Why did my best friend have to die?”

“D-don’t tell me you did such a thing just for one demon.”

Norn said with a surprised voice.

Just one demon?!

“Don’t fuck with me! What do you think people’s lives are?!”

Unintentionally, I slapped her.

A little girl who doesn’t understand the value of life needs to be educated.
“Everyone has dreams, hopes, and a future. Life is the most precious treasure of all!
And you say ‘just one’?! You killed my best friend, and now you’re making fun of it! I’ll
never forgive you!”

Princess Norn’s eyes filled with tears, as if this was the first time she was being
screamed at.

No matter how much of a strategic genius she is, when she’s being held down by a man
like this, she’s just a child.

“I-I’m sorry. I’ll apologize, I’ll apologize. Please forgive me, I’ll give you anything you
want. Please don’t kill me.”

“Are you scared?! Afraid of unreasonable violence?! I’m sure that the demons that
were being attacked by you and your soldiers were feeling the same way you are now.
But you were still trying to kill them without mercy. Don’t think you can be forgiven
for that.”

“Hii, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

She’s just apologizing.

This is why children are so annoying.

Does she think she can be forgiven if she just cries?

Well, that’s fine. For now, let’s start with a light punishment.

I slowly put my hand on princess Norn’s neck.

This is just an appetizer. I’ll let her experience the horror of being close to death.

I squeeze her airway.

“Aa, aa, aa.”

Princess Norn struggles, but there’s nothing she can do with a little girl’s strength.

Her face is distorted with despair as death slowly approaches.

Isn’t that quite a cute expression? I unintentionally got an erection.

And then, after her struggle in vain, she falls unconscious.

This is the end of the appetizer. The real thing starts slowly after I kidnap her.

“It’s about time for another messenger to arrive. I guess I should get out quickly.”

I use Transformation Heal to change into Hawkeye’s appearance, and I stuff princess
Norn into a bag I brought to kidnap her.

All that’s left is for me to escape.

But first.

“Heal.”

I used Heal on princess Norn to get her memories and abilities.

Hou, you have a surprisingly rare ability, don’t you?

And that’s not all.

As I thought, she was the one responsible for the attack on my village and the death of
my first love.

“As I thought, she’s Anna-san’s enemy. I definitely can’t forgive her.”

A double revenge bonus has been decided.

I can’t forgive her for Karman, and now there’s also Anna-san… I’m going to have to
show her hell for this, and then she’ll pay for the rest of her life by being my toy (pet).

And…

“I see, you did like Flare huh.”

In Flare’s memory, princess Norn was always harassing her.

But the truth was actually the opposite. She wanted to care for her because she loved
her.

Princess Norn learned military and political skills because that was the only way she
could do it.

Unlike her sister, she had nothing, so the only way she could be in her sister’s sight
was to improve what she could do through hard work. As a powerless woman with no
talent for magic, princess Norn thought that this was the only way she could do that,
so she continued to work hard until she bled herself dry.

She may have begged her father to give her the best teachers, but it was still her
persistence that made it possible.

…But in the end, Flare hated her.

Poor girl.

“Don’t worry, princess Norn. Under me, you can get along with Flare. Just as an
obedient meat slave though. Ahyahyahyahya.”

Yes, what a good person I am to help the sisters get along.

And then, the war ended with Buranikka’s victory.

With Princess Flare’s speech causing a drop in morale, the poisoned wine making
everyone sick, and the supreme commander kidnapped during the battle, Jioral
Kingdom’s army couldn’t continue the battle properly.

After suffering a lot of damage, they retreated.

Jioral Kingdom suffered heavy damages from this expedition. They’ll be quiet for a
while.

Of course, a search party for princess Norn will be formed, but that kind of thing is just
cute.

The battle is over and the mood in Buranikka is one of celebration.

Humans and demons who fought together are hugging each other and raising their
mugs.

The scars are big, but they will heal with time.

And if you’re wondering what I’m doing…

“Freia, this appearance suits you as well.”

“Wan!”

With Setsuna and Eve in the inn we had vacated, Freia and I were in the basement I
had built for this day.

Of course, it was to take revenge on princess Norn.

I’ll dispel Karman and Anna-san’s regrets.

Princess Norn was handcuffed with chains hanging from the ceiling. She was just
barely high enough to reach the floor if she stretched out her toes.

And Freia is in her underwear with princess Flare’s appearance, wearing toy dog ears
and tail.

It’s quite funny and cute.

I would like to do this regularly, but Setsuna gets angry when I do it because it makes
her feel uncomfortable, like she’s being made fun of, so I have to take chances like this
to do it.

Well then, it’s about time for princess Norn to wake up.

Princess Norn moved her body and slowly opened her eyes.

“T-this is-?”
“Good morning, princess Norn. Since it’s a hassle, I’ll tell you from the start. You were
kidnapped by me. This is a basement where your voice won’t reach the outside.
Because you were kidnapped, Jioral Kingdom’s army suffered a crushing defeat and is
retreating. No one is coming to rescue you.”

“No way, lies.”

“It’s true. And this is my revenge. My friend was killed and my hometown was taken
from me because of you. To put it simply, from now on, I’m going to play with you. I’m
going to make you feel good, not just pain, so be happy about it.”

I show her an indecent smile.

I usually have a gentle smile, so a sadistic expression doesn’t suit me, but I do my best
to smile like that.

It seems to have a great effect on princess Norn. Her face visibly turns pale.

“It’s a lie. That’s a lie.”

“It’s not a lie. But, because I’m kind, I’ll make it a game. If you win the game, I’ll give
you a big service and let you go. Even if you don’t want to play the game, you can still
get out of here. But in that case I’ll leave you naked and tell everyone that you were
the ringleader and throw you out. It’ll be much more brutal and fun than the revenge
I’m going to make.”

That would also be good.

I’d feel bad about keeping such a hated woman all to myself.

“Decide in 10 seconds. Will you take my game or be handed to the demons?”

Princess Norn’s eyes widen and her body trembles.

Well, either way, I guess she knows it won’t turn out well for her.

She’s pretty agitated. She hasn’t even noticed the dog Flare right in front of her.

I continue the countdown without minding it.

“Three, two, one…”

“I’ll take it! I’ll take your game.”

Well, that’s the expected answer.

Then, time to explain the game.

“Kun, kun.”

But there’s someone in the way. It was the dog Flare.

She was rubbing her cheek on my crotch and now she was rubbing her butt on my
pants.

It’s a little annoying, even though it’s inevitable since she’s in heat from drinking a
potion that made her sexually excited.

Also, I gave her a potion that clouds her consciousness. Once the potion wears off,
Freia will probably think today was a dream or something.

“Flare-onee-sama! What are you doing?!”

“Kuun, kuun.”

Her pitiful cries continue.

Her sister’s voice doesn’t reach Flare. She’s too busy begging, and princess Norn has
disappeared from Freia’s memories in the first place.

I managed to start explaining the game while letting her do whatever she wanted.

“The rules of the game are simple.”

I say that and tear princess Norn’s dress.

Her immature but promising white skin is revealed.

Princess Norn glares at me with teary eyes. When I used magic to remove then chain
from the ceiling, princess Norn sat down with a thud.
I didn’t remove the handcuffs, but she can move to some extent.

“I’ll have you play with dog Flare from now. Dog Flare is a slutty bitch, so it’s hard work
playing with her.”

I patted dog Flare’s head and she narrowed her eyes.

That’s it, good girl.

“That’s why I’ll have her play with you. Flare, if you want me that much, make this girl
cum. Only use your tongue, like a dog. If you can make her orgasm properly, I’ll give
you plenty of love.”

“Wan!”

Dog Flare covers Norn.

“Kyaaaa, Flare-onee-sama, stop, come back to your senses.”

“Wan wan!”

Flare looks like she’s about to attack princess Norn at any moment. I haven’t even
finished explaining the game’s rules.

“Wait! Not yet. Good girl… The game is simple. If you don’t cum before morning comes,
you win. If you cum, I’ll give dog Flare plenty of love and show it to you. After that, I’ll
give you plenty of love as well. Aren’t you happy? After all, you’re going to be licked by
the older sister you love so much and be given plenty of love together!!”

Just imagining it excites me.

A younger sister being violated by the older sister, and in then shown her sister’s lewd
side, and then she’s raped by the same man as her sister.

It’s quite good.

“That’s, terrible.”

“And then, when it’s all over, you’ll forget it all and become my pet, just like dog Flare
here. It’s going to be fun. Tomorrow, princess Norn will be wearing dog ears and
rubbing her cheeks on my crotch like an idiot while begging. Well, if you don’t want
that to happen, you’ll have to endure the hard way. Unlike you guys, I’m a man of my
word. If you endure it, I’ll let you go. I’m done explaining. Flare, go!”

“Wan!”

Now, I said until morning, but she won’t last that long.

Let’s take it slow and observe some sisterly love.

Flare and Norn. By looks alone, the most beautiful sisters in the world…

Flare, wearing dog ears, pushes down Norn.

Then, she held her thighs with her hands and dexterously shifted her underwear with
her mouth.

“Oh, no hair has grown yet? So your growth is a bit delayed.”

“Shut up!”

Norn shouts at me with teary eyes.

While we were doing that, dog Flare stuck out her tongue and licked Norn’s pussy.

Dog Flare is desperate because she won’t get anything from me unless she uses her
tongue, and only her tongue, to make Norn cum.

Maybe she’s in a bit of pain because she’s in heat. She’s desperately rubbing her thighs
together and her underwear is soaked.

“Flare-onee-sama, stop, that.”

Dog Flare’s tongue is destroying Norn’s pussy, which has never known a man. She
moves well. I frequently have her and Setsuna together, so dog Flare has learned some
good techniques.

Norn’s face turns red.

She tries to push dog Flare’s head with her hands, but the strength difference is
obvious. Dog Flare’s face gets wet with love juices.

“Oi oi, are you starting to get wet already? At this rate, you won’t last until morning.”

This is disappointing. I should have set it for an hour instead.

“Shut, up, ah! No, nonono!”

The tone of her voice was getting higher.

Looks like dog Flare found a weak spot.

She’s Freia, who’s always trying to please me. She must have been looking for a good
spot while watching Norn’s face.

She began to focus on that area.

“No, Flare-onee-sama, there, don’t.”

“Wan, wan♪”

The only thing in Flare’s mind is to make Norn cum quickly and get her reward.

The licking only becomes more and more intense. Norn’s voice is getting higher and
higher.

The movements became monotonous, that’s when Norn gained hope she could
endure…

She peeled off the skin of Norn’s clitoris with her tongue and gave it a lick.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaann! Nooooo!”

Norn couldn’t bear the completely different stimulation and climaxed with her hips
shaking.

“Wan! Wan! Wan!!”

Dog Flare squealed happily as she looked at me.

She wiggles her hips in anticipation, her face wet with Norn’s love juices.

What a lovely dog. She did a good job. I’ll have to reward her.

“…What, it was only 15 minutes? Did you want to do it? How slutty you are. I can’t
believe your sister’s tongue made you feel good.”

“S-shut up. You probably used some strange drug or something.”

“What a shame. It was a fair game.”

I don’t lie in games.

How could she say such a thing when her pussy is still twitching greedily for more?

When I get in front of Norn, dog Flare rubs her cheeks on my crotch. I know. I’m going
to reward you properly.

“You lost the game, so now it’s time for the punishment game. But first, I’ll show you
how much of a lewd bitch your sister is.”

I told dog Flare to get on all fours on top of Norn. But I made sure dog Flare’s pussy
was in front of Norn’s eyes.

Dog Flare’s pussy was already soaking wet and twitching.

“This is a punishment game. Don’t look away… Well, I suppose you can look away, but
if you do, be prepared. I hate people who break the rules.”

Norn’s body trembled.

It seems she’s already painfully aware of the kind of person I am. I put my dick inside
of dog Flare.
In front of Norn’s eyes, mine and Flare’s genitals are joined. I move in and out violently.

“Kyan♪ Kyan, kyan♪ Kyauuuun♪”

Dog Flare lets out some happy cries. Even in front of her sister, she’s incredibly lewd.

Love juice drips onto Norn’s face. Norn probably wanted to turn her face away, but she
couldn’t do it because I nailed her down.

There was a look of fear and… excitement on her face. She certainly seems excited
about seeing her sister being raped in front of her.

Dog Flare bent her back as much as she could. Looks like she came.

I’m also at my limit.

The special circumstances and Flare’s pussy, which was hotter than usual, made me
shoot out my semen faster than usual.

When I pull out, a mix of love juice and cum splashes onto Norn’s face.

“Flare, sit.”

“Wan!”

When dog Flare sits down, her pussy is naturally pressed against Norn’s face.

It’s a pussy covered with plenty of love juices and semen.

Norn frowned, but she was still excited.

“Flare, rub your pussy against Norn’s as hard as you can. If you get me excited, I’ll give
you more love.”

As soon as I said that, dog Flare changed her position and began to rub her pussy on
Norn’s.

“Stop it, Flare-onee-sama! That’s weird.”

“Wan wan wan!”

Dog Flare doesn’t hear her sister’s voice.

She just shook her hips according to her desire. Norn’s cute pussy began to twitch
open to invite a man in.

“You seem a bit miserable.”

“Shut up, shutupshutup.”

“I know you love her. Princess Flare that is.”

“No I don’t. She’s just incompetent.”

“Don’t lie. You were trying so hard because you wanted your sister to look at you. I’m
kind, so I’ll make your wish come true. If I have sex with you like I did with Flare, you
two will get even closer.”

Norn tries to escape, but dog Flare, who wants more rewards, won’t let her go. She
holds her down firmly while rubbing their pussies together.

I get between them and firmly grab Norn’s waist.

I won’t let her escape anymore.

This is a punishment game for the one who lost the game. The same dick that was
attacking dog Flare a moment ago is now thrust into Norn.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts.”

“So you were a virgin like I thought.”

I broke through her hymen and she bled. Even so, I shake my hips. The funny thing is,
even though I’m doing that, dog Flare didn’t stop rubbing their pussies together.

She’s greedily seeking pleasure by rubbing her pussy against the rod that’s fucking
Norn.

“No, I’m being raped with Flare-onee-sama.”

She says no, but there’s pleasure in her voice.

She’s happy to be raped with her sister. I sped up my hip movements.

Norn has already forgotten the pain. I thought she was lewd, but she’s a natural-born
whore.

Since you want it so bad, I’ll fuck both you and your sister.

I take turns putting it in their overlapping pussies. I can’t get enough of the feeling of
inserting into both of them.

“Kyauuuuun♪ Kyan, kyan.”

“Ah, no, this is weird.”

The two sisters moan. They’re going to cum soon.

Let’s start with Norn. When I pitch her clitoris, she climaxes all at once and arches her
back while screaming.

At that moment, I pulled out my dick and focused on dog Flare, which caused dog
Flare’s pussy to convulse as she came.

I put my dick inside Norn again, who had calmed down, taking her by surprise.

“No, nonono. It’s too painful now, aaaaaa.”

She repeats “no, no” with tears in her eyes.

But I don’t stop. Rather, it makes me more excited.

I tease Norn, who has just had sex for the first time and is very sensitive, and make her
cum again before pouring my semen into the deepest part of her body and then pulling
out.

Norn’s whole body weakens and my semen spills from her pussy.

Flare, who had climaxed before, licks her sister’s pussy and tastes the overflowing
semen, as if she didn’t want to waste it.

It’s an erotic sight.

Aah, I feel refreshed.

A sister bowl is really good. There’s a unique sense of immorality.

With this, the hearts of the sisters, who had been at odds, have now become one.

Until now, princess Norn had worked hard and gained power because she wanted her
beloved sister to look at her, but because of that she was shunned by her sister. And
because she wanted her sister to look at her, she began to harass her, but the poor
thing only became more distant and twisted.

The distance created by that rift had been filled by this sister play, and their hearts
became one.

Well, it wasn’t just their hearts that became one.

“Aah, what a good thing I did.”

Flare is passed out on top of princess Norn from being teased too much and princess
Norn’s eyes are vacant and filled with tears.

“Now then, there’s more to the punishment game. I told you at the start. If you lose, I’ll
wipe out your memory and make you into my obedient pet like dog Flare. These are
your last moments as princess Norn. I’m going to wipe out your memory now. When
you wake up, you won’t remember anything else, you’ll be my slave. Do you have any
last words?”

I, being the kind person that I am, talk with her in her final moments.

Light returns to princess Norn’s eyes.

Then, she turns her face away and lets out a small voice.

“Go to hell.”

“Ahahahahahaahahaha. I like it. I love that kind of bravado. It’s worth making you
break. No, the guys I took revenge on recently were boring because their hearts broke
easily. It has to be like this or it’s not worth taking revenge!”

Aah, this is interesting.

Yes, when she wakes up, I’ll brainwash her to call me onii-sama as an obedient little
sister.

That’s going to be the most fun.

“Goodnight, princess Norn. Forever.”

I put my hand on princess Norn’s head and use Transformation Heal.

With my divine light, the evil and selfish princess Norn will disappear and will be
reborn as a pure and lovely little sister. And from now on, the sisters can live in
harmony.

I was laughing out loud as I cast Transformation Heal.

I can’t wait to see the reborn Norn.

Now, I have a new toy (pet). I’m sure Karman and Anna-san are pleased in heaven as
well.

I head back to the inn while carrying the unconscious Freia and Norn.

Let’s introduce Setsuna and Eve to our new friend. Tonight is a welcoming party, so
it’s a treat.

I feel my feet getting lighter.

Yes, I feel good after doing something good. Tonight’s meal will be tastier than usual.

When I returned to the inn, Setsuna and Eve came running up to me.

“Keyaruga-sama!”

“Look, look, the shopkeepers gave us a huge bonus!”

The stores were open for business right after the battle was over. The merchants in
this city are tough.
I was planning to cook for us at the inn today, so I asked Setsuna and Eve to go
shopping for dinner.

Their shopping bags were full.

“A bonus?”

“Un, said it was to thank Keyaruga-sama.”

“He also said he was sorry he could only do this much.”

Oh, I see, the people I helped on a whim.

It was a useless action that even I don’t understand. The result was their gratitude and
this bonus.

…It’ll probably be hard to rebuild the destroyed stores from now, they shouldn’t have
enough to just give stuff as a bonus.

These people are too nice.

“Keyaruga-sama, smiling.”

“Yeah, yeah, it’s nice to get a bonus!”

“I see, so I’m smiling?… Well, what the hell? I don’t feel bad.”

I spoke out my honest feelings.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been thanked for an action that I didn’t calculate.

I feel a little warmer inside.

Let’s have dinner. Before the warmth in my chest disappears.

Thank you for taking the time to read “Redo Of Healer 3”.

This is the author, Tsukiyo Rui.

In this third volume, it’s the revenge against the Sword Hero, and there’s also princess
Norn who showed her face in volume 2.

Please look forward to seeing how Keyaruga will defeat princess Norn, whom even
him can’t match in terms of wits, and how he’ll defeat the Sword Hero, a swordswoman
who surpasses even the Sword Saint.

And this volume finished so erotically that it makes volume 1 and 2 look cute. The first
and second volumes were like challenging the limits of a light novel, but this volume
has surpassed these limits by a considerable margin!

P.S. the manga version of this novel was released on April 1st at the same time as this
third volume of the novel. Please check it out as well!

protecting her. Please be sure to read this popular work, which will also begin a manga
adaptation in Monthly Shonen Gangan in the summer.

Also, on April 30, Monster Novels will release a new book called The Old Man Who Got
a Second Round in Another World. The story is about a hardworking and kind old man
who wasn’t rewarded for his efforts, but regains his memory of his previous life as a

efforts begin to be rewarded. This is also a series that is scheduled to be made into a
manga by Monster Comics, so be sure to check it out!

She has recently become a member of Keyaruga’s Party.

I’m curious about her playing with herself alone.

What kind of training will Keyaruga have for her in the future? Will she be attacked?

Look forward to it!
