Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 36

Vampire Princess and Final Confirmation

Translated by AmaLynne

……Time flies, doesn’t it?

I heard that long-lived species have a different sense of time than short-lived species, so I guess eight days is just a short time.

I am thinking like that and escaping from reality.

Eight days have passed in the blink of an eye since my encounter with Isuzu-sama, and when I woke up, it was three in the afternoon.

……Yes, in about three hours, I will be fighting the hero.

Despite being an evil god, she is so talented that he exceeds the expectations of the god Isuzu-sama, her average status exceeds 20,000, with a super-robust, cross-dressing, heroic monster that is not even remotely human, who wields such swordsmanship that it is said she may have been in a room with 〇 and 〇, and surpasses even the quasi-executive soldiers that the Demon King Army boasts, with a few exceptions.

……No, it’s impossible, isn’t it?

When I put it into words in my head, I’m getting the feeling again that it’s impossible for me.

The average status is over 20,000. Even my enemies Edith and Noin are expected to have an average status of around 10,000.

I know that the success rate is reasonable when the Demon King-sama is nominating me….

No, but when I asked Isuzu-sama about the success rate, she was very cryptic. Maybe she just said「You have the highest success rate」and the actual probability is 10% or something like that, right?

Hahahaha, no way.

…No way, right?

◆◇◆◇◆

「……Good morning.」

「It’s already noon. Evening, if you want.」

「……It can’t be helped, they are a nocturnal species.」

I dragged my heavy feet and came to the conference room of the Demon King Army, where I was told to gather in eight days.

Inside, there was only one person ahead of me. It was the『General of Disaster』Rain Fairylord, the seventh-ranked executive of the Demon King’s Army.

She is the queen of the fairy tribe and stands about 30 centimeters tall. She has yellow-green hair that reaches almost to her knees and a beautiful girl’s face with slightly sloping eyes.

She’s a fairy who has the tsundere-like personality in my previous life.

And although she is so small, she is the third most powerful person in the Demon King’s army when it comes to fighting ability.

She is a genius who can cause weather and natural disasters such as floods, lightning strikes, hailstorms, and forest fires at will and are said to be one of the strongest fairies of all time.

Her personality is…half tsundere and half lazy.

「……What? You’re staring at me all of a sudden.」

「Ah, I’m sorry…」

「Good grief… You’re about to fight the hero, so stand up straight and look sharp.」

「Ugh… Hero…」

「What, are you nervous? Don’t worry, I’ll be there to support you a little, and Sakura will be there to help you if you need it, right?」

「Yes, but…After all, the moment I kill the magician, can’t we have a plan to surround the hero with the executives and Sakura-kun from the beginning…?」

「Like―I―said―, since the hero will retreat when she sees executives, and the Twelve Holy Apostles, who are higher in the hierarchy, might feel the presence of the executives and spring up like insects! Since we are not ready for a full-scale collision, no one can play this role except you, who is unmarked and strong in your own right!」

Ugh, I hate myself for being so strong…

Today’s hero are, as they used to be in the old world, programmed.

She had been pre-programmed with information that tells her to do this or that, and she act accordingly.

She is told to kill the demon tribe or to retreat when she sees an executive.

So, it is doubtful that the executives, whose faces are already known, can even kill a magician in the first place.

After all, there is Asbal, the tenth of the Twelve Holy Apostles, and the《Twin Wall》on the other side. He is an expert in defensive work, with disgustingly high defenses and magic defenses.

He’ll be alerted, he’ll be on the defensive, and while we’re on the offensive, he’ll shift… So, to prevent that from happening, it’s up to me, an ordinary soldier whose existence is unknown to the other side, to do the job.

Damn it.

◆◇◆◇◆

As I took my seat and was discussing this and that with Rain-san, all the executives remaining in the castle gathered one after another, and finally, the Demon King-sama arrived.

「All of you are here. Now, let`s begin the final confirmation of the strategy.」

Demon King-sama began to talk briefly about the strategy that she had planned up to now.

The strategy itself was the same as the one she had made eight days before.

① I will somehow kill the magician.

② Feria-san and Tiana-san take turns using transfer magic to transfer Asbal and Thrust of the Twelve Holy Apostles to the Demon King’s castle, where transfers are cut for a moment, and all the executives beat them to a pulp.

③ At the same time, I killed four of the hero’s cronies and protected the hero by knocking her out or something… Kidnapping? Anyway, I bring her back.

④ I will somehow restore the hero’s heart.

……The procedure is as follows.

To be honest, I can probably make it up to ②.

Humans are licking us demons for the appearance of a hero, so when an unknown demon tribe like me shows up, they stop the transition and are like,「Let’s finish this guy off and go home」. Then catch the magician by surprise and kill him with super speed due to the blessing of the full moon.

Feria and Tiana can do ②, too. Aside from their hopeless incompatibility, they are both excellent magicians.

But ③, I don’t know…!

「…That’s all for now. The mission will be executed just before sunset. Lean, get yourself in shape while you still can. Tiana, Feria, don’t fight each other!」

「Oi oi, a mission with you? I just feel like I’m being dragged down. Can my nephew be one in charge? He’s the only one I’d feel comfortable with.」

「Oya oya, I’m not sure if I’m the one who should be replaced by Sakura. I’m very worried about having a hopeless clunker like you in the operation.」

「Don’t argue with me! Eeiii, I’ll pull you guys down from the executive and bring Sakura up to the executive!」

Sakura-kun, you’re really popular with people…

I’m good friends with him too, he’s a good boy.

「Hahh…totally…can’t you two get along a little better?」

「I’m sorry, Demon King-sama, but I don’t think Tiana and I will ever be on the same page.」

「The odds of ever being on good terms with Feria are so great that it would turn heaven and earth upside down.」

Really, I wonder why the two of them don’t get along so well.

◆◇◆◇◆

「……Thank you, Tiana-san.」

「No, about this… Good luck.」

Before sunset.

Just before the moon’s blessings kicked in.

The first thing to do is to get a good look at the site.

I, who still can’t use spatial magic, was sent there by Tiana-san’s magic.

This was in preparation for the upcoming battle with the hero.

……It seems that the heroes and their cronies are only a little over a kilometer away from here.

「Don’t worry. Sakura is waiting in the distance, and Gray-san and Rain-san are ready to rush to the scene in case of an emergency. There is no need for you to be so tense.」

「……Yes. I’ll do my best.」

And then I started to run.

After a while, I found a group of humans.

There were nine of them. Two of them were wearing weapons that looked like they would work great.

……And at the very front of them was a girl, about my height.

No doubt, that was the『hero』group.

The two men equipped with the bad-looking armaments are the Twelve Holy Apostles.

And at the very rear, my primary target, the magician, is―――

Three minutes until full sunset.
