Welcome to the other world, Mr. Hero. I beg you to save this world from the Demon King.

　Suddenly, the voice of a hoarse old man entered my ears.
　The voice brought me back to myself and I looked around.
　Then I realized that I was standing on a strange pattern.

'Where is ...... here?'
This is Laetitia. It's a different world than the one in which the Lord Brave lived.

　A hoarse voice answered the question that spilled from my mouth.

　I lifted my gaze in the direction of where I heard it.
　There was a line of men and women of all ages, dressed like Renaissance aristocrats, lined up in a row.
　The one who answered the question was a mature man wearing a crown that stood out among them.

'Ray ...... tesia.'
Yes. And now Latesia is in danger of being destroyed by the Demon King.

　The mature man ignores us standing there dumbfounded and continues to speak.
　Wait, don't go on without permission.
　You want to say that, but the words won't come out of your dry throat.

''And my kingdom has summoned a brave man to kill the Demon King.

　Are you dreaming of bubbles?
　Or have I lost the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality?
　A mature man is saying something, but the words can't get into my confused head.

　However - I strangely understood what he was trying to say.

'To you, sir, as a brave man...'

　For now, let's just calm down.

　He listened to the man and tried to calm his confused mind.
　Then I reach for a memory from a few minutes ago.

　In that moment - I remember it vividly.
　What in the world had happened to me.
　I couldn't help but laugh loudly, and I held my aching head in my hands.

'You - are you listening to me!

　It must have bothered him that he was looking down at the ground.
　A reprimand flew from around the mature man.

　He looked up at that deafening cry.
　Out of the corner of my eye, a man was standing there.
　He wore a black robe and held a staff with an embedded red jewel in it.
　Looking at the man, I felt the confusion subside in an instant as I quickly pulled away.

''You are in the presence of His Majesty the King!　Face up!
'Good Liuzas. "Good Liuza, the brave lord seems to be still confused. Don't be so hasty.

　Liuzas, you say?

　At the same time I heard a mature man call the red hair "Leusas" and tastefully refer to it as "Leusas".
　I'm not going to be able to get out of it.

　--You're already useless, brave man.

　At the same time as the memories of the last minute passed through my head.
　Kicking the floor to shatter, I was running towards Liuzas.

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!
''Nah!''

　With a roar like a beast, Ryuzas reacts.
　But it's too late.

　Before he can raise that wand, he takes a shot to the face.
　I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it.

"Gah, f--

　Liuzas blows up with his momentum and crashes into the wall.
　Then he peeled his eyes out and fainted.

　Not yet.
　I'm not going to end up like this.

　I straddle the top and hit him.
　The sound of a fist hitting my cheekbone can be heard.

''Wait, brave lord!　What do you think you're doing?
"Quickly seize him!

　The people around me jumped at me.
　You'll be crushed by the violence in numbers.

Liuzus!

　Nevertheless, I continued to hit Liuzas.
　Each time I felt the emotions that had been pent up in my mind clearing up.

'You're only ...... you!

　Liuzas is completely out of it.
　But I can't let this stuff go. I can't let it go.

　--This isn't the kind of pain I'm in from this guy.

　Another shot - he's just about to raise his fist when he's finally forced down to the ground.
　I immediately tried to shake off the people who were holding my arms down.
　But for some reason, it's as if I don't have the strength to do it.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten what you did to me!

　Still scrambling, he reached out to Liuzas.
　But then a gulp, a dull thud ran through the back of my head.
　My vision flashed, and I felt the power drain from my entire body.

''Yi, what the hell are you doing ......?''

　The guys who were holding me down said something like that.

　--Said what?

　In my fading consciousness, the question came into my ears.
　I answered the obvious question in my mind.

　This guy killed me.


You're not going to be able to do that.


　This is not the first time I--Amatsuki Iori--was summoned to this world.

　Until just a few minutes ago, I was summoned as a hero and was fighting to protect the world.
　And yet.
　The ending that awaited me was betrayal from the friends I trusted.

　I remember the face of the person who laughed at me as he cut off my arm and pierced my chest, leaving me stunned.
　That red-haired man - Liuzas is one of them.

　If you kill me, the honor of defeating the Demon King will belong to you and me alone.
　When the battle is over, the brave men are just a hindrance.
　I'm no longer in need of you.

　I was killed by those who sneered at me.

　But somehow I was still alive.
　I don't know why, but I'm grateful for my good fortune.
　It gave me a chance to get revenge on the people who betrayed me.

　--And I'm going to make them pay. They betrayed me.

　With a sneer, I passed out.
