Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 34. Former hero?vows a punishment for the princess

2 days later.

Currently, I am sitting enclosed by a desk in a windowless and heavily guarded room.

This is because Yunikram and Caroline who was out on official business throughout came back.

Thinking about where they went for as long as 2 months, it seems that they have gone to do an investigation beforehand for the fort attack.

And today, a strategy meeting was held based on the information from the 2 of them.

Moved by Rithina just the other day, it’s this as soon as I had decided to participate in the fort attack.

It’s really a perfectly managed schedule.

Or was it according to plan?

Haaa.

No, let’s stop with the regret of my past decision.

Now, I should return to the corresponding situation now.

Anyway, let’s concentrated on the strategy meeting now..

———-

Gauge fort.

It is a place approximately a week south from the Imperial capital, and was formerly an important site for defense against the invading tribes and demons from even further south.

However, after the unification of the southern parts, the fort which had finished it duty seemed to have become a hub for traffic now.

All of a sudden, demons seemed to have invaded there.

———-

They appear to be demons coming from the large forest in the south.

The purpose is unknown.

Around the location of gauge fort…… demons targeting the Imperial Capital especially are sent out sporadically.

Because the scale is too small to be called an invasion of the demon king troops, it seems that there was no relation to the demon king forces.”

Yunikram stands before something like a blackboard installed in the inner part of the room and explains the situation.

It is relatively close to the Imperial Capital, and is an hub for traffic of the southern area now.

Because such a place has been occupied by demons, it was bad within and out of the country, and there is a need for an immediate action.

Initially a subjugation unit was dispatched, and although apparently they had tried to recapture it, somehow in an unfortunate event, the leader of the demons occupying the fort is a demon race.

Thus, the subjugation unit at that time is annihilated.

At the point of trying to recall the hero who was on a pilgrimage around the country, he was beaten up in Torres by another demon race, and had decided to undergo training.

Huh?

Come to think of it, Laurier was born in the forest to the south.

“Hey, Laurier. Do you happen to know the demon race occupying this fort?”

“…..Fuee?

N? Nn?….. What are you talking about?”

This fellow, she fell asleep.

“……It seems that a demon race has occupied the fort to the south.

And that fellow appears to have came from the large forest in the south.

You, I think you were born in the forest of the south?

Do you know something ab……”

“I do not know it!”

…….

Let’s stop asking this fellow anything already.

We do not know the enemy’s purpose.

Because it can’t be verified under the present conditions,

but next is how to recapture it concretely.

The gauge fort seem to have an underpass for escaping that is not in use now.

Leon and the other 3 will invade from there.

The feat, is a mission to kill the demon race within.

Leon and Aura have strengthened considerably in these 2 months,

Although they are not at a level to win against Laurier yet, they have reach the point to be able to fight Laurier head-on unlike before.

After 1 month.

If I include Yunikram and Ms.Caroline in the training, if it’s 4 people, I think it isn’t impossible to defeat the demon race.

However, as I cannot cover all sorts of demon race in one word, it isn’t possible to declare it.

Is it safe for Laurier to follow?

No, this is also an experience for the hero.

If they are defeated again by any chance, then at that time.

However, to let 2 pretty ladies, Aura and Caroline encounter danger……….

“Mr.Haruto. You don’t have to worry about it.

We will surely show you the defeat of the demon race!”

When I was making a grimace and going ‘Yea yea’, Leon guessed and said so.

No way, Leon is an Ikemen after all. So Cool.

I think it’s not the case of not having confidence.

However, I suppose it’s a face to entrusted it to.

Yeah.

For me too, my life was always in danger when I was a Hero.

And yet, I overcame it by join forces with my company.

Friendship with 2 uncles, an old geezer and a beast.

I haven’t forgotten.

Leon is a hero too.

It’s no use to be excessively overprotective with an attitude looking down on him.

To safely return in another month.

It will be my job to train them properly.

And, on that day, I will just carry out my duty without fail.

It was the feint operation under my work space.

“On that day, Haruto-dono’s group role,

I would like to request a feint operation from the front of the fort prior to our invasion.”

Yea.

Leave it to me to set it up.

“In addition, by her Highness Princess Rithina’s orders, the feint duty is to be performed by Haruto-sama only.

Is that okay?”

HA?

No, wait, I have not heard of that.

“J, Just us?”

I ask Yunikram in a panic.

“Eeh?……Ah, yes.

That was suggested by Haruto-dono yourself, I heard from her highness princess?”

Eh? What is she saying, that Princess-sama.

“With logistical support, there will not be any problem if recover magic was used by court magician accompanying…….

Isn’t it the case?”

It’s not that it isn’t the case.

I have not say a single word like this.

Damn……

I mean, this is that huh.

Is this the appeal Rithina said.

By showing my strength like this in that place, is it to add persuasive powers to the case of me receiving Rithina and Mina?

That girl, saying such unreasonable things……

Let’s think about it.

Given the scale of demons occupying the fort heard a little while ago, if there is court magician who can use recovery magic, can the 3 of us fight?

If it’s not an endless stream of demon race, it’s possible huh.

Leaving me aside, I think Laurier is considerably strong among the demon race.

I might not have to worry about her.

Sharon too, compared to the soldiers and demons around here, is already remarkably strong.

If the roles are divided thoroughly, there is no danger……huh.

“In case I have missed any information, I will confirm it again.”

Yunikram says.

Leon’s group as a hero too, is doing things that puts their lives in danger.

For Mina and Rithina, I also must not just do safe things, it’s such a thing huh……

Grrrrr.

“Mr.Yunikram. Just a moment.”

I put a stop to Yunikram who was finishing up his words.

“Y, Yes?”

“Apart from saying that only we will do the feint operation, troops have been prepared just in case right?”

“Eeh? Ah, Yes.

Originally, the feint was scheduled to be performed by a force prepared.”

“Is that so.”

In the worst case, we will draw back and get them to do it huh.

“Sharon and Laurier, are the current talks okay?”

I check with the 2 of them.

Even if it’s alright for me, it’s no use if it’s impossible for the 2 of them.

“Uhh, the feint right?

I am all right if Haruto gives instruction properly!”

“I do not have any problem too.

Rather, it would be good to increase my assignment!”

It seems to be all right huh.

Then, let me work hard as well.

“I got it.

Mr.Yunikram. The talks previously, it’s okay.

Let us do it by ourselves.”

“……I understand.

If it’s the ability of Haruto-dono, it might be possible.

My best regards.”

Yunikram grins.

What’s up with this Ikemen. So cool.

An Ikemen is a dreadful creature.

Thus, because it has been decided that we would perform the feint operations, there was something troublesome for Rithina.

An unreasonable thing was reported.

In the case of this rate, even to the king, I am sure that my situation has been reported with considerable exaggeration.

Afterwards, I will give you a scolding.

And, punishment.

It’s a punishment for the princess.

The words are erotic.

No, I have not done anything sexual yet.

Accept it properly like this.

The punishment received from me.

Aah, because I was thinking of such things,

it’s okay for me to be used by Rithina.
