After all, I didn't know there were sixty Mad Demons out there.
　I killed ten of them, then twenty, then thirty, then sixty without letting Shelley and the others touch me.
　I was lying on the floor, tired from all the fighting.

All of them. Leo killed them all.

They're gonna disappear. We have to kill them before they do something to us.

'Maybe so, but ...... I screamed too when the demon's head suddenly flew out of the sky.
　Come to think of it, there was a demon that beheaded Shelly in front of her.
　You worked too hard to take it down.

I'm sorry. I didn't think about it that much.

No, I don't need to worry about that. I don't want to get Leo in trouble. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Thanks. But I'm afraid it's not safe to do so next time, so why don't you take shelter with Leena and the others?
　Next time, it will be harder to kill them in the blink of an eye, or maybe the castle will fall down in the middle of the battle.

No. I wish I could tell you that, but I'll tell you what: ...... Okay. I'll get out of your way and take shelter.

Thank you. Well, I guess I'll just send everyone back to Mirdine for now.
　I got up and headed towards Leena and the other brave men.

Good job, Leena. You're safe.

No, it's nothing serious. So, what are you going to do after this?

'That's the thing, can we all just run away to Mladine?　Because there will probably be some very strong enemies after this.

'Okay. ....... Where are the princesses?
　Leena nodded and turned her attention to the princess and the brave man behind her .
　I guess so . I'll have the two of them evacuate as well.

''Would you be willing to evacuate to the safety of Mladin territory for now?

'To the Marquis of Leons' estate ......?　It's a long way from here, isn't it?

'Actually, I have a skill called transference ...... that allows me to move to any place in an instant.

'Oh, come to think of it, you have skills like that . Yeah ......
　After all, we're moving into enemy territory with some mysterious skill. There's going to be resistance.
　Now, how do we go about negotiating: .......

Elaine. Take shelter.
　Hmm?　That's some unexpected help. Was it for the princess's safety?
　You came at me so hard before I drew my sword, I thought the hero would refuse.
　Oh, come on, the princess is my priority.

But ......

'They wanted Elaine for this, didn't they?　Then I hope Elaine is on the run.

Where's Kite?

I'm staying. Because it's strange to not have a single person from this country here.
　Well, I had a feeling.
　It feels weird to say no right now, so I guess I'll just fight a brave man.

All right, ...... please be safe, okay?

I'll be fine. I have a good luck charm.
　Then the brave man showed the princess a necklace with a beautiful jewel on it.
　Was it a present from the princess?　Surely that's a blessing.

''Then, Marquis Leons, may I take refuge in your estate?

Yes. Okay, everybody touch me.

Master, we're staying.
　Now it's Hermann.

No, I'm good. Me and my friend are fine. Besides, we'll still have to guard the princess in the grounds.

...... Got it.
　Good.
　I convinced Herman and I made the transference.

This is Mladin territory?

You're in the castle. In the meantime, you'll just have to stay here until the monster attack is over. Cheryl, I need you to show me around.

Okay. I'll take care of this one.



Yeah. Okay, I'll be back in there.

"Um, ...... Marquis Leons.
　As I was returning to the castle, the princess stopped me shyly.

'Yes, sir. What is it?

I don't think you, a guest, have any right to go this far. Why are you doing this for me?
　If you ask me, surely there's no point in me going this far?

'Yes ...... because it would be too cute if it ruined your wedding?　I guess.
　I don't want it to be a bad memory for me, even if it's only once in a lifetime.
　Even if it's about to become an enemy.

That's why we're here: ......

Now, if my plan is going to work, you'll need to be alive. Does that make sense?
　Without Princess Hélène, I'd have to negotiate a lot of things with the other troublesome royals: .......
　Yeah . If you think about it, it's not much of an effort to do this.

''Yes, yes ......''

Okay, I'll call you back when I'm done. In the meantime, just make yourself at home.


'I hope Elaine is okay?'
　When I came back, a brave man grabbed me by the shoulders.
　I knew he was worried about you.

I'm fine. I mean, you trusted me with this because you didn't think I'd hurt the princess, right?

'Yes, but ......'

I'll be fine. As someone with otherworldly memories, I won't do anything bad to someone from another world.

Hmm?　The bearer of otherworldly memories?　You ......
　Yeah. The reason I didn't take this guy into my territory is because I wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk alone with him.
　Also, because we talked to each other privately as people from the same other world.

I'd say reincarnated, but that's not quite right. Is it like they copied your memories from a reincarnated person and put them in?

What do you mean?

'Yeah ...... just think of me as someone born with a little otherworldly memory.'
　I've given up trying to explain.
　I don't have the energy to explain the war between the incarnations and how I came to be.

Is that so. Are there others out there like you?

Yeah. Take Gert, for example.

"Mr. Gert?

My fellow reincarnates call me the Grandmaster. I'm a creator, by the way.

"The Creator!

What about the Creators?
　What's the surprise in your eyes?　What do you know about the Creator?

The creator of mountains and dragons and kingdoms?
　Yeah. I knew you knew one of the creators that wasn't me.

No, I think it's the other one. I think he's in the Imperial dungeon.

'Oh yeah, ......, or maybe you're still alive.
　They're the same species as us. It's some kind of magic item.

So why is it okay if I call you Kite ...... Kite?

You don't need to ask that. You want me to be Leo?
　That's true, but... It's kind of weird to call someone you didn't get along with before, you know?

Yeah. Okay. So how does Kite know the original creator?

I read it in a book. It was written by a brave man from a long time ago.

Yeah. I can't believe you still have those books.
　Well, it seems that a brave man has been summoned many times, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone had written about it.
　Maybe I'll write a book to help the next reincarnation.

"Where did Leo know?

The Demon King told me.

'Demon King!　Isn't the Demon King dead?
　Oh, that's right.
　We've been treating it as a matter of course in the Mladine household lately, so I'd forgotten all about it.



No, he's not going to die. He has those skills.
　Because of his super regeneration skill, that guy is immortal .

''Skills. ....... My limit breaking and protective light are powerful too . Does Leo also have skills other than transference?

I have it. I'm not telling you what I have, but I have it.

Secret. That's right: ...... In two years, you'll be fighting someone in a war.

'Well, if it keeps up, will it?　It's all up to the princess.
　If the princess marries tomorrow and puts an end to the war by pulling down the king when she marries, I'll support her every step of the way.
　Well, that's not going to be easy since the nobles won't listen to you.
　It's not like it's an invasion if I mess with them.

Aren't you afraid of war, Leo?

''Of course I'm scared. Even though we're better equipped than the kingdom, we'll still have to deal with a brave man and a grantor. Frankly, I'd rather not do it as much as possible.

I understand Mr. Gert, but ...... me?

The fear of a brave man comes out when he's on the ropes. I'll say no more.
　You can't give them the most annoying hero compensation.
　If you aim for that thing, you're no match for me.

When we're backed into a corner... ...... a skill that can be used for revitalization?

I won't tell you.

'Did the Demon King teach you that too?　Or from the brave men who came before you?

It's the Demon King. I don't know if Grandpa understood his power that well.
　I haven't lived with my grandpa for a year to begin with: .......
　I should have listened to the story about the time you fought the Demon King or something.

Hey. How strong were your predecessors?

'Just about the same as Kite . Now that I think about it, it's hard to believe that the only magic I could use was non-attribute magic.
　We're blessed with magic, so it's easy to get stronger, but unattributed magic really takes effort .

''I see ... ....... You must have been a great guy.

Yeah. He's a great guy.
　Mad Demon . I defeated that one earlier, but I can't get rid of the fuzzy feeling that comes from ...... this regret .
　As I was thinking this, a hole began to open up in space.

Ah, here it is. Okay. I'll try to make the wedding happen somehow.

"Before the fight starts, let me just say. Leo...... thank you.

It's all right. Just hold your ground. We don't know what kind of monster is out there.
　Oh, I mean, if it was just me and a brave man, you could have brought Lou with you, right?
　They let the princess escape on the premise that the castle would be destroyed, so it didn't matter if Lou destroyed it or not: .......
　No, it's not a good idea to show Roux as well just because they got along .
　Yeah. Yeah, I know. It's not that I don't want to regret it.
