Is the Strongest in Another World a Hero? A Demon Lord? No! it’s a Fairy ~desu!

________________________________________________

As the sun rises, the people of La Veil Radd wake up. Then, they all go outside together, and the first thing they do is pray to the rising sun. The rising sun can be seen through the huge gates of La Veil Radd, allowing sunlight to reach all of the buildings.

When the prayers were over, everyone began to pray towards the castle, where the Pope lived. But it wasnt the Pope that they were praying to.

It was the Hero, the hero who saved this world.

Hello, Cielo? Im surprised, you know? Thats just incredible. Why is it that the curse I placed on Cielo-chan has completely disappeared? Its strange, isnt it? Im so sad that by the symbol of my love has disappeared, you know?

Cielo was sitting on the bed in his room. He was kneeling in front of Cielo, rubbing his cheek against the back of Cielos hand as he spoke those words.

Is that your way of showing love, to make monsters go into a frenzy and attack me? Is that really what you call love?

Oh? Oh, well, I suppose. The poor little Cielo being attacked by demons must be looking at that useless piece of trash and thinking Oh, please help me, my Hero! Youre the only one who can help me! , right? Thats when my love will be felt So, what do you think? Did you get the message?

Youre making me nervous already, Cielo-chan

Cielo, who had been repeating this exchange forever, felt only physiological disgust at Goutanis inability to hold a proper conversation.

*clang *clang

Ahh! Who is it thats interrupting our time!!!!

The moment he heard the knock on the door, Goutani flew into a rage, released his holy sword and glared in the direction of the person on the other side of the door. However, he quickly calmed down when he heard the voice of the other party.

Its me.

Cmon in.

Ah, Ill let myself in.

It was the other Hero, Hinomoto, who came in, and since Goutani was far below Hinomoto in the pecking order, he couldnt ignore what she had to say, and though his gut was churning from being interrupted from his time with Cielo, he tried to keep his cool.

Its the usual time.

Oh? You should go.

I have my work to do. Dont you think you should do your job too? Its the position you want.

Im going.

Then he turned to Cielo again with a grin and a smile and squeezed her hands.

Im sorry, Cielo-chan! Ive got some shitty work to do. Im going to have to finish my work, but Ill be back soon, so please wait for me while I kill time with this boring girl! Ill see you later.

Thats what he said and quickly left the room.

Only the two women were left. Hinomoto let out a sigh as she walked up to Cielo and bowed her head with a bitter smile.

Im sorry, I have no way of stopping that thing. I know this is hard on you, but Im not going to do anything bad to the citizens. I just need you to trust me on that.

Why cant you stop him?

Hmm Because thats what Im ordered to do, I guess.

No way.

Cielo slowly examined Hinomotos neck. Then she noticed a device attached to it, one designed to take away a persons dignity.

A slave Collar?

I understand. Im sorry, its hard for you too

Hinomoto waved her hand as if to say it was nothing.

You dont have to feel sorry for me. Its more of a status report. Your companion is the one I cant help you with at the moment, because Goutani is trying to kill her.

Oh I see.

And one more thing

Hinomoto drops to her knees and takes Cielos hand.

In a week, youre getting married to Goutani.

No reaction? Well its obvious I suppose.

Cielos head is slowly stroked as she begins to cry quietly. The tears dont stop, however.

You are now being treated by the people as a Brainwashed Priestess, and the Goutani let it happen. And those three will be made out to be the main culprits. They were originally going to do that to just Sakurada-san, but the more of them there are, the easier the people will be convinced And

How can he do such a terrible thing?

Well, I guess it means hes broken too. We all know that the war was the trigger But its not your fault.

This is a story about the invasion of Ladaria, a country that Cielo predicted would be destroyed. And the story of the heroes who destroyed it.

After all, its nobodys fault. That war was. The only thing that matters is what the heroes did afterwards. Including me, who had given up In that sense, Sakurada-san did more than any of the other heroes, didnt she?

After saying that, Hinomoto stood up and left the room. Then, before leaving.

If you still have friends in the country, let them go. If they try to help, Ill have to move, and as long as Goutani doesnt know Im there, Ill help. So

Its fine.

Cielo looked at Hinomoto, smiling as best she could.

I wont lose, you know!

Haha, well, that guy is just as much of a bastard as Ive heard. No wonder you guys are running away.

Hahaha, Ive never been trapped like this before as well.

Hahahahahaha!

This is no time to be carefreeyou know?

At that time, the dragon, Hero, and the fairy were in the dungeon of the castle together. All of them had shackles on their hands and feet, and slave collars around their necks. Quad could have easily gotten out of the dungeon by undoing his humanization , but that would have been a problem, so he stayed in the dungeon quietly.

However, both La Veil and Quad have smiles on their faces, so Mika was the only one who felt frustrated.

What should I do? I didnt think Set-chan would be here

Oh, you do know, Mika? What do you know about that monstrous Hero?

Monster is not the right word.

Oh, there she is!

Hey, Sakurada-san. I hope you dont talk about me like Im a monster.

In the midst of all this friendly banter, Hinomoto appeared from outside the prison, and La Veil asked: Hey, you want to fight?as if inviting Hinomoto to join them, like in a convenience store, while Quad smiled and gave her a heads-up as if he were looking at his grandchild.

Hinomoto gave a wry smile to both of them.

You know, despite the circumstances, you and your friends are hilarious.

Ha, dont worry I know a few more hilarious ones.

Oh, I see

Hinomoto coughed lightly and got down to business.

Now, you are to be executed in a week for seducing a priestess, a national treasure, in front of the people.

Please dont say it so casually!

Even so, it cant be helped since that demented man is saying it. And as for me, Im extremely unwilling. Besides, why did you come back? If you had just gone into exile in another country and lived in secret, no one would have done anything, you know?

How could I leave her alone? Cielo is my friend!?

Mika instantly snapped at Hinomotos comment. Hearing those words, Hinomoto checked Mikas status in Appraisal and was amazed. It was hard to imagine what Mikas status would have been a few years ago, and her skill ranks had risen dramatically.

With this status and the holy armor, it would not be impossible for Mika to defeat Goutani, Hinomoto thought.

I see, youve been desperate to become stronger for your friends in this other world. As I recall, you said that Mister Quad was from a dungeon. Did you train there? It looks like you were forced to raise your level quite a bit.

Thats right, because of everyones help, Ive become so strong I cant do anything if Set-chan is here though

Mika cried out, knowing the strength of the 3rd place in the rankings, Mika was in despair, the strength of the Hero in the top 5 was far superior due to the fact that they defeated the Demon King. Even in Mikas case, which had led to her being dispatched in the past, it had been Hinomoto who had come to her rescue.

The opponents were a trio of delinquents who were known for their bad behavior, but Hinomoto calmly took them all on and defeated them unscathed. Not even using her holy sword properties

The fact that Hinomoto had come to La Veil Radd was a huge miscalculation on Mikas part.

Mika, Im sure Master will take care of it for now, so dont be so disheartened.

Oh, there is still someone out there.

Wait, La Veil, why are you saying that?

Mika became impatient as she mentioned the rest of her friends names, but La Veil and Quad continued talking happily, and the scene began to relax again.

Im sure that Master will do something spectacular anyway. And maybe she knew this would happen somehow. If she hadnt, she wouldnt have taken the opportunity to leave us alone.

Yes, I agree, Im sure Miss Aidle will do something interesting again. So until then, we will just have to be spectators, Mika.

Eh, eeh

Kukuku, Mikas friends are hilarious.

Wait, dont laugh I think shes really going to do something

The conversation continued in a strange atmosphere even though they were enemies, but then a follower of Heroic Spirit appeared, gave Hinomoto an earful, looked at Mika once, and then quickly left again.

Hinomoto opens the door to the prison and lets Mika and the others out, but only freeing their feet.

There will be a speech in the morning by the Pope. Thats where theyll announce you, so I want you to come with me. The slave collar will prevent you from speaking. I just dont know what that guy is going to say, so just be prepared for that. Im probably going to laugh.

Okay, okay

In the castle, there is an opening for the public to see the Pope. However, the figure of the Pope is blocked off, and only his shadow is shown.

Today, the Pope was there again, only in shadow. The people all bowed their heads and were not allowed to see him. Normally, a Hero would just stand silently beside him, but this day was different.

My people, my followers. Today, I, the Hero, have something to say to you. Please, raise your heads today.

With Heros words, the followers raised their heads one after another to see Goutani. His face was covered by a mask, and he looked down at them with a gentle smile.

As a matter of fact, the other night, I finally managed to save the miko-sama and break her brainwashing.

Are you serious, Hero-sama?!!

The believers in the plaza had a picture-perfect expression of joy on their faces, and there was a flurry of questions about the truth. Goutani stopped them with his hand.

Of course, of course. Let us all welcome our priestess, Lady Cielo Forbranad La Veil Radd.

Without saying a word, Cielo appeared in front of his beloved people. Many of them fell to their knees and began to pray for his safety, while Goutani continued with his madness.

Goutani went on saying something even more insane,

Thank you, the priestess is pleased to see you. Now, I have something even more exciting to report. It will take place a week from now. I, Goutani Shiji, and Cielo Forbranad La Veil Radd will be having a marriage ceremony! And the execution of those who masterminded the abduction of the miko will also take place!

As soon as the proclamation was made, the people rose up in an uproar: Hero and priestess would marry. It was a joyous occasion for the believers. Everyone congratulated the couple on their marriage. Goutani looked on with satisfaction, while Cielo kept her face expressionless and stared down.

Then, the three cloth-bagged people were strapped to the cross in front of the platform.

Now, these are the faces of those who caused the great sin!

The cloth bags were all taken away at once, and among the three who showed their faces was a person the followers knew, causing a commotion.

Yu, Hero-sama?

Why is Mika-sama?

Goutani spoke with increased anger about Mika, who had come with Goutani years ago, confirming the fact that she was being held as a sinner.

Hero Mika is the great sinner who deceived the priestess this time. And she and her collaborators plotted to assassinate the Pope. In order for them to become the rulers of this country! I dont want blood. However, I cant let fools who follow the Demon King and the demon tribe, who have no blood or tears, live!!

La Veils cheeks were puffed out as she struggled to keep herself from laughing, and Mikas shoulders were shaking as she struggled to turn her face sideways.

Then you must be condemned by a swing of the sacred sword. Then, with a new Heroic Spirit in our hearts, and under the guidance of the Priestess and Goddess , we will regain our stability! Perpetual peace!!!

Perpetual peace!

Raising the holy sword and using holy attribute magic to let light shine from the sky, the storm of praise became even more violent and swept through the country In the midst of all this

Hello, La Veil, how was it yesterday?

Oh, weve been waiting for you, Master.

Good Morning~La Veil~
