Hero's Redo ~ A Hero That Once Saved the World Reborn as a Girl ~

There was only a raid by the demonic army, and the security of the mansion was strict in itself. Soldiers in all directions are just trying not to create a blind spot, or there are enough pine lights everywhere to brighten the night sky. You were also wary of breaking in from the sky, and sometimes you could see little birds swirling. Normal birds don't jump around at this time, so maybe they're demons or something.

"That's a bit of a broken bone guard. But..."

No matter how tight security is, there is a limit to human concentration. Even if he intends to be distracted at 46 o'clock, there is always a gap to sneak in, because there is always a time for consciousness to relax. When I got down to the ground, I killed my breath, lurked in the shadows, and started approaching the mansion with my jitters as I overstayed my watch.

"Absolutely... are there even dogs"

Though small in number, they are even let loose like military dogs. It's hard to mislead their noses on boulders, so let's rely on magic here. I made a small stream of wind in a way that kept me under the wind, broke through security while the dog was unaware of the smell and managed to dive into the mansion successfully.

"Ugh...... This is the real deal..."

There was no such thing as being filled with soldiers up to the inside of the mansion by boulders, and there were considerably fewer signs felt than outside. If this is a dungeon, I can use detective magic to find out, but that's a sharp human being, so it's easier not to use it if you say so. A real assassin would eliminate the crippling security before proceeding, but in my case it would be even more difficult to infiltrate because you can't hurt anyone. I panicked when I noticed a throwing knife flying from behind me when I managed to get close to the king's room, sometimes sticking to walls and ceilings, to get around.

"Oh, did you avoid it? Looks like we're going to have to break in here."

When I looked in the direction of the knife's flying, there was one person standing that floated in the light outside. It's a maid. A woman dressed like the maid who couldn't hold us during the day is standing with a creepy grin. You didn't think there was a maid who could fight, mingled with the knight of the escort - and that much thought led me to realize the unusual atmosphere of the woman. He's... he's not a decent person?

"Where are you from? Looks like an assassin from that outfit... Taipei, after some country has deceased the present king and marched soldiers in the name of support, do you want to annexe the territory to the collapse as well? If so, in the country adjacent to this country… Bordeaux is the most likely one. Next up is Llumiere. The last place you saw Zephyr? It's a hit, isn't it?

I wanted to deny it was completely different, but you can't speak up now. Because if you were a maid who kept you from the king's side during the day, you might remember my voice. But... that's crazy. If an intruder shows up, they should usually call for backup right away. Why is he confronting me on his own?

"But I'm sorry. We can't let him kill the king of this country right now. That man is an important pawn for the Lord. Because it's an important tool to attract the brave."

That man? My lord? I don't know, but he has no respect for the king for fine dust either. I guess that means that he's lurking near the king with some kind of purpose.... Anyway, we need to pull out more information.

"... what about you?

"Oh? It's unusual for assassins to talk. Is he still a boy?

I tried to keep my voice as low as I could and it looks like you got me wrong for being good. If I didn't deny it or affirm it, the woman snorted funny or nothing.

"Hmm, an unfathomable child. But it's good. I was diving in as a maid for once, but you were bored. Let's get him and make him a toy."

"Aren't you going to tell me who you are?

"... listen, what are you going to do? Ma, you're gonna die anyway, and I'm gonna teach you a souvenir from the underworld. My lord is Dear Apulia. One of the five demon kings."

Demons!? Were you diving into this place? To be honest, I was surprised. But that's not where it matters now. We need to find out what purpose he approached the king.

"... why the devil clan..."

"Are you in this place? That's a secret. Don't think you can answer me if you ask me everything. Come on, we're done chatting. Kids die here."

Sooner or later, the woman threw a dagger from her skirt into the rain. It's impossible to find myself in a situation like this on a boulder, so I smashed a window nearby and jumped out into the sky. No glazing at the glass fragments falling under his eyes, he makes repeated leaps into roofing and heads out of the city. The mansion behind me is already as fussy as a hive. When I turned around because I felt signs of getting behind me, I saw the woman earlier arrive with an unpleasant grin.

"Where are we going? I'm not gonna let you get away with this."

…………

Women are quite physically capable of being only demonic. Though it's not all I can do, it's because you're coming at me for speeding up there. While heading out of town, I twisted my head desperately to see if I could take advantage of the situation. The presence of a demon tribe that I never expected. And the king that this woman is a pawn. It's the bait that attracts the brave. I mean, is the king being held in some kind of weakness and forced to obey the Demons? And you wanted to use us for something, but it's not working so far. Whatever it is, there is too little information. I need to stick around a little bit more and pull the information out of this woman. You need a play to do that... All right! When I came up with an operation, I reached the city wall at a speed that didn't shake off the Demons and jumped straight out of the city. Flying magic seems like an easy way to shake it off, but the number of people using flying magic on the human side is limited so far. If you let me fly in front of you, you'll soon find out who I am, so it's a hassle but I'll have to get away with my legs. I finally stopped when I reached the wilderness, far from the city and the streets, jumping the occasional knife from behind me to the left and right.

"Is the chase over? Damn it... it makes me tired. I admire that escape."

When I saw it, the woman was breathing on her shoulders. Even though Karin and the others can afford to get there, this guy's physical abilities are inferior to hers. That means it's easy to take them down. But...

"Then it's time to die. I can't really leave that guy's side. Even free men are understaffed..."

I wondered if the woman had taken one dagger with her hand in her skirt, and she kept cutting in momentum. I was very curious to see what was going on in that skirt, but not now. I manage to disguise myself as a critical wind and knife the woman's attack. Every time this one strikes, there is a wrinkle between the woman's eyebrows, and the attack becomes harsh.

(It's about time...... it hurts a little but you're patient)

"Gu!"

Making it look like I missed the woman's swinging attack, I dared to take the dagger attack with my arm. The dagger ripped my clothes open and tore my arm deep open, and was swept through with a splash of blood in the darkness of the night.

(Say yes! It hurts more than I thought!)

He bounced the dagger backwards, swinging it down again, and I grabbed the bloody left arm.

"Oh, now you do? But the wound and the amount of bleeding aren't that long. Sounds like there's no healing magic, no potion, and then you're just gonna die. Stand there in silence. At least as a pity, I'll drop your neck with a blow."

"Wait...... at least let me hear it one last time......? Why were the demons in the royal castle? If it weren't for you guys, my job would have been done..."

It wasn't that hard to make a painful voice out of him because he was actually injured. I don't care where I'm from right now, I'm supposed to just look like a stranded and dying assassin. Naturally, the woman seemed to do the same, and he was in a good mood whilst snapping a dagger in his hand.

"What are you gonna do with that? Which one of you boys is already dead?

"... I just want to know as much as I'm behind the work I've been involved in. Please, you can't die like this."

"Hmm... you have no choice. Then I'll tell you. We're holding that man hostage to something important. If that man defies you, you can always kill him while lurking on your side."

Hostages? And you said us. In other words, they are consolidating themselves around the king in multiple ways. And I don't know the key part. If you don't know who you're holding hostage to, you can't hit me with your hands.

"... whose hostage is that?

"Well. Find out for yourself if you want to know. I don't have time to look into it."

You're going to stab me in the stomach, the woman moved. But it was an anticipated move, so I didn't panic and jumped to the side and slapped the magic near the woman's face.

"Yikes!?

What I used was the magic of light. The magic you use in dungeons and everyday life, but if you are suddenly brightened up in front of you in this darkness, you will be struck by your eyes, and it's the magic that threatens you enough.

"Damn, damn it! Busy!"

The woman seemed to shake her dagger to doom and keep me close, but more importantly, I'm not going to kill him on this occasion. If he's the only one lurking near the king, it's fine to eliminate him, but if there's more than one, it's not the story. If you kill one person, you don't know who it is. A hostage is in danger of being killed as a show. If we were to do it, we needed to put them all together and clean them up at once.

When I jump up with flying magic, I leave a woman on the spot for the city. The destination is naturally a lodging. Let everyone know what I got, and we'll talk about it. I don't think I can handle this on my own. I hurried to the noisy city when my left arm was completely healed in an instant.
