Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 52.1

Reincarnated Boy and Hero (Part 1)

Translated by AmaLynne

AN: I was going to end this in a snappy place, but it turned out to be the second longest ever…

This country…In the Holy Land of Mercurius, two topics are currently being discussed.

The sudden disappearance of the previous generation of heroes. And the birth of a new hero.

The previous generation of heroes did not like to appear in public and never appeared…but at least the『Church of Misery』, the head of the Holy Land, said she was the most powerful of all time.

That Hero disappeared and a new Hero was born. What this means is that there was a powerful demon tribe that even the strongest heroes were no match for.

People were voicing their concerns about this.

Immediately after that, however, the church announced that a new hero had been born.

This caused a great uproar among the people.

The number of those with the『qualities of hero』is extremely small. Since there were two of them at the same time, there were many who said it was a miracle and that it was the guidance of the Misery-sama.

And today…Today is the ceremony for the unveiling of the new hero.

Almost all the residents of this divine city gathered in front of the church, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the brave man.

After a while, a middle-aged priest wearing a somewhat pompous-looking priest’s uniform appeared.

「…Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot thank you enough for gathering here today…The other day, by the hands of a vile and cruel demon tribe, the hero of the previous generation passed away… But we cannot remain sad! For the sake of our predecessor who wielded the sword for the sake of mankind, even if only for a short time, we must defeat and destroy the demon tribe! And I am sure you have all come here for this man. Let me introduce him to you right away. He has newly awakened『qualities of a hero』and has been chosen by Misery-sama…Avis Nowarite-sama!」

After a long but short speech,『he』appeared.

He was a child about the same age as I am now, clad in silver armor and with a long sword at his waist.

His appearance was met with a loud cheer.

「…Nice to meet you. My name is Avis Nowarite. I would like to devote myself so that this power of mine can be a hope for mankind. I look forward to working with you.」

It was a commonplace statement, but even so, the volume of the cheers rose a notch.

How tremendous! Is this the charisma of a hero?

My thoughts were turning,

「…Oh, and…If any of you here have heard of the country『Nihon』, please come to me after this. Well, I will now conclude my greetings.」

With these words, I’m completely backed into a corner.

What did that guy just say?

『Nihon』…Japan. the Japanese nation.

The country where I lived in my previous life…Why does the hero know that name?

No, the answer is simple. That is… He is a『reincarnated person』just like me.

Forgetting to listen to the middle-aged priest’s words that followed, I kept thinking about the hero.

◆◇◆◇◆

When the priest’s talk was over and the meeting was dismissed, I pretended to be separated from my parents and headed for the church.

No sign of the hero…He was not there. It seems that he is inside.

So I decided to talk to the gatekeeper of the church.

「…Um, excuse me.」

「Nn? What is it, boy?」

「Well, I have an idea about the country『Nihon』that the Hero-sama was talking about.」

「What do you mean? A child like you? Are you kidding me?」

「No, it’s true. Please let me meet Hero-sama.」

「Don’t be silly. You just want to be a hero, don’t you? Look, he’s back!」

「No, it’s true! Please, let me see him!」

「…If you insist so much, I’ll give you a question.」

…Question?

「It’s a question that Hero-sama gave me. If you can answer it, I will take you to see Hero-sama. However, if you can’t answer the question, you may be an assassin trying to assassinate the Hero-sama…You know the rest, don’t you?」

I was horrified.

That means if I don’t answer, I might get caught.

…But I didn’t want to give up. I finally had a foothold, a foothold of a reincarnated person.

「…Yes, please.」

「…Are you sure about this? If you want to turn back, now’s the time.」

「I’ll be fine.」

「…Huh. I don’t think you can answer…Let’s go then.『Answer the name of the busho who was killed in Honnojinhen』…How’s that, it doesn’t make sense…」

「Oda Nobunaga.」

「…Huh?」

「So it’s Nobunaga Oda, right? Isn’t that right? …I may be acquainted with that Hero, please let me through.」

「Oh, it fits…I have no idea what it means…I beg your pardon, sir. I will make an appointment with Hero-sama right away!」

Indeed, the Japanese…You used a warlord that everyone knows, especially high school students, as a key to meeting yourself. That’s thoughtful.

Now it is almost confirmed that the Hero is a reincarnated person.

「Sorry to keep you waiting! He will see you soon…Please come this way.」
