「Why did I have to go through all that pain! All I wanted was to live a normal life! All I wanted was to be surrounded by kind people and live in peace! The mission of a hero? The peace of mankind! I don’t know anything about that! And yet…and yet, my father, mother, and the people in my village sold me for money! They knew that I was going to suffer!」

…No one could stop the hero’s cries who took her hand off the sword that had stabbed the Demon King-sama, fell to her knees with her head in her hands and began to weep.

「Then…day in, day out, day in, day out! I wielded my sword until my palms were in tatters, I was beaten and kicked by the knights, and I was torn to pieces, body, and soul, by the Twelve Holy Apostles or whatever they were! Even the food was so bad that I wanted to throw up… I’ve long since forgotten what good food tastes like!! I was being told about Goddess’s word and sermons that I didn’t want to hear!! Goddess Misery!? How am I supposed to believe in a goddess who is on the side of mankind, when she didn’t save me from that hell!? They tortured me more times than I can count, and once they killed me… I thought it would make me feel better, but they forced me to come back to life!! They always told me to destroy the evil demon tribe! I have nothing against the demon tribe!! They are the evil ones who are tormenting me now!!」

…I knew this hero was different from the rest of them.

Maybe this girl is very smart before she became a hero.

Because she can think things rationally. And because she was separated from her parents, who by nature brainwashed the goddess, she was not deluded about the goddess.

「No one helped me! No one saw me as a human being!! Ahaha…can you believe it? I don’t even remember my name!! No one ever called me by my name!! They all called me『Hero』! Are you fucking kidding me!! I don’t want this crap about being a hero!! I didn’t need this talent!! How many times have I wanted to die, to feel better!! I am…I am…!!」

…There, perhaps at her limit, the hero collapsed, sobbing.

Demon King-sama, who had been holding the hero’s shoulder and listening to the hero’s cries the whole time, pulled out the sword that had been thrust by the hero nonchalantly.

「D-Demon King-sama, you’re bleeding…!」

「Hmm? Oh, don’t worry. This is not enough to kill me. I have a somewhat special body. More importantly…」

Then Demon King-sama turned to the hero again, squatted down and looked at her.

She then continued to stroke the hero’s head for a long time until she stopped crying and calmed down.

「Have you calmed down?」

「……yes.」

「…Now. You, little child who has been freed from the burden of being a hero. What do you want to do now?」

「……what you……mean……?」

「You have done enough, killed this mistress, and fulfilled your duty. You stopped my heart and kicked out the demon tribe led by this mistress. You are still a child. You are old enough to be selfish. Tell me, what do you want to do now?」

For a while, the hero looked as if she were in a daze… Then her face changed to an expression that was neither angry nor sad, but somehow ominous.

「I want…I want revenge.」

「Hoo? To whom?」

「All of them! My parents who sold me, my sister, the people in my village, the knights who tortured me, the Twelve Holy Apostles… And the country that ordered it! Hahahaha, yes, I’m going to kill you all, all of you! I will make you suffer, make you repent, make you beg for your lives, and then I will kill you all! I, who could have been the protector of mankind if you guys hadn’t erred in your judgment and destroyed it, will be the slaughterer of mankind!! Hahahaha! That’s a good one!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!」

―――And somewhere else broke.

But…what she’s saying is great.

The anger, hatred, and resentment towards humans are vividly conveyed through the power of the『Vengeful Demon』.

◆◇◆◇◆

「HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Hahaha…」

The hero laughed for a moment as if to make up for the fact that she had just been emotionally destroyed… Then she suddenly collapsed.

「Oi, you okay? …She’s just sleeping… Just after she gets her mind back, she must be tired from the muddy stream of emotions. Well, she’s probably okay now.」

Hero… No, Demon King-sama carried the former hero in a princess’s carry.

「Oh, she’s so light.」

「With the power of the Demon King, most things would be classified as light…」

「Well, that aside. The reason for the collapse of her heart is sole because of the『loss of self』. She was a hero, but she was treated unfairly. She didn’t understand the meaning of her current situation, and as a result, caused a chain reaction collapse in her mind. Then, free her from the chains of being a hero, and give her a purpose now that she is a mere child. That’s all it takes to heal the mind… Well, actually, this is all by the oracle of Isuzu-sama.」

…I think Isuzu-sama once said something like『I will also help when you capture the hero』.

As expected, a decent God, doing her job differently.

◆◇◆◇◆

「Demon King-sama… Are you sure the chest wound is okay?」

「No problem, Lean is a worrier. With Isuzu-sama’s blessing, I can come back to life at will and unconditionally once every hundred hours. Even if I don’t, if I activate the Sacred Artifact that I am equipped with, I can normally defend myself against an attack of that magnitude.」

「…I-Is that so?」

Demon King-sama is a masterpiece. Even Isuzu-sama called her a cheat.

「Well, if I may say one thing, the output of the recovery magic is poor.」

「Oh, that’s me too. I’ve been applying recovery magic several times since a while ago, but my wounds still haven’t healed…」

「Most likely, not because of the hero himself… Oh, this sword. It seems to be a Sacred Artifact after all. I believe it is called the『Magic Sword Diaz』. It has the characteristic of being indestructible, and it has the nasty effect of seizing even things that have no fixed form, such as fire and water, and making it difficult to heal the spot where it was cut.」

「The hero used a magic sword…?」

「Well, it looks as beautiful as a Holy Sword, so I guess the humans decided it was safe enough… Well done, executives and Lean. You have done a great job. After three years, the operation to protect the hero has succeeded.」

「Hahaha! Well, it took long enough!」

「You’ve done very little, Aron. Shut up for a minute… The MVP this time is definitely Lean. Thank you so much for all your hard work.」

「…No, I couldn’t have done it by myself.」

「Kukuku, you are still as humble as ever.」

No, I really mean it.

All the executives, the Demon King-sama herself, and the other soldiers of the Demon King’s Army. It was because of the cooperation of all of them that this operation was successful. At least, that’s what I think.

…So, I am also grateful to Aron-san, who is depressed after being told off by the Demon King-sama earlier. I am.
