Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind - CH 58

Former Hero and Relief

Translated by AmaLynne

I woke up in a strange room, in a strange bed.

…Why am I in this strange place?

For now, what happened before? I remembered…and then…

「Ah! Medicine…!」

「Ah, Yomi-chan! You are awake!」

「Huh? Oh…Manager-san!」

It was the manager of the cake shop who entered the room.

So this is that cake shop.

「Yomi-sama! …Really…Thank you so much!」

「What? Oh, that means I make it…in time.」

「Yes! Vinel-sama made an antidote from the flowers that Yomi-sama gathered for us…Thanks to you, my wife’s condition is improving! I can’t thank you enough!」

「Oh, no, no, no. No more salt on my cake, please?」

「Of course not! Come and visit us anytime with Lean-sama!」

…Thank goodness…Just in time.

The city and the wife are saved.

◆◇◆◇◆

「…You’ve gone to a lot of trouble, Yomi.」

「What? Ah, Demon King-sama.」

「Huh? De……De……Demon King-samaaaa!? Hauuu……」

Oh, manager-san fainted.

…Well, yeah, if Demon King-sama came to your house, you’d be overwhelmed.

「How are you feeling?」

「Oh…I’m fine. I’m still a little tired, but…」

「I see. It’s 8:00 a.m., by the way. You have been asleep for more than half a day.」

「……I slept that much…」

「Zedd and Vinel were worried, too. Indeed…Why do the strongest candidates of the Demon King’s Army, like Lean, Sakura, and you, often do such reckless things?」

「Oh, ahahaha…I’m sorry.」

「…Well, however, thank you very much for your hard work this time. Thanks to you, this city and the man’s wife lying there were saved. Without you, if you had not noticed a little later, there would have been terrible damage…Well done…」

「Ehe, ehehehe…」

I got praised.

I’ve been getting a lot of complaints lately about breaking things, so it’s nice to get compliments on my work.

「By the way, Yomi. What happened to that magic beast?」

「Huh?」

「The magic beast. The strong one that looked like a black panther?」

「Oh…It was strong, wasn’t it? I probably wiped them out…」

「Wait a minute, what did you just say? You said you killed all of them? That many? A magic beast of that strength? All by yourself?」

「Yes…… What’s wrong?」

「……………….No, well done on that too…… Besides detoxifying the Misel, the flower has a variety of beneficial effects for the demons. But in the past few years, we haven’t been able to collect it because of the magical beasts that have taken over that place as their territory.」

「Couldn’t you have just deployed more than one executive?」

「The flower is useful, but it’s not as important as war. No, well, to tell the truth, I had completely forgotten about its existence.」

You forgot about it…

「It would be quicker if I could be dispatched…But that’s not going to happen…」

Demon King-sama is strong. I’m not sure what to expect.

I’ve been told that I’m the strongest in the Demon King’s Army, but that’s only if you exclude the Demon King-sama.

Demon King-sama is the most elite of the Demon King’s Army… I’m sure that even if I, Lean, Sakura-kun, Gray-san, and Rain-san were to join together, we probably wouldn’t be able to beat him.

However, in return for her power, Demon King-sama has many restrictions on her.

Demon King-sama alone provides all the wards and enhancement that exist around the Demon King’s castle, in the towns and villages in various locations.

However, it is merely Demon King-sama manipulating the magical power supplied by the Demon King’s Castle on her behalf.

In other words, Demon King-sama can only operate within a five-kilometer radius around the Demon King’s Castle…

But well, in other words, as long as you are inside or around the Demon King’s Castle, which is a『semi-permanent magical power supply』, Demon King-sama connected to that Demon King’s Castle is almost invincible.

It’s like having unlimited magical power.

「Rest for now. Rest is part of the training.」

「Ummm………Yes.」

「Oh…And just so you know. Lean has just entered the war, and yesterday evening a whole city was destroyed. It seems that all the people in the vicinity were wiped out.」

「What, so fast? What could have caused the city to fall so quickly?」

「Apparently, she planted a magic bomb inside the captive’s body, released them, and set the city on fire.」

「Wow.」

What a nasty thing to do, Lean.

But it’s a good feeling.

「Well, I’m going to go now. Stay here until you can move again. I’m sure you will be fine in a few hours.」

「Yes, I understand.」

「Goodbye. 《Teleportation》.」

Demon King-sama went and left me and the manager, who is still unconscious.

(Lean is working hard after all…I have to get stronger and surprise her too.)

I decided to do so, but first, I lay down on the bed again to recover from the fatigue and general aches and pains that still lingered slightly.

Soon after, I surrendered myself to sleepiness, and soon I lost consciousness.

◆◇◆◇◆

「……This is more than I expected. Wiping out that magic beast? Even Gray can’t do that, can he…? What do you think, Vinel?」

「Yes, I think so…No, I think Gray-san can do it. But it would take several hours, no matter how you look at it.」

「Forty minutes of that…」

「Sakura-kyun…Not, if it’s Sakura-kun, it would be possible to exterminate them in a short time by raining down very large-scale magic. If only Lean had the blessing of the moon for more than half a month…The problem is that she was able to do it『with just a sword』!」

「You, what did you just call Sakura? …No, that’s okay for now. In less than a decade, the Demon Army has made great progress. Especially Yomi and Lean. They are exceptional. Sakura and Gray are following in their footsteps, becoming much stronger than before.」

「Oh, what about Rain-chan?」

「She’s doing well, but she’s already reached the level limiter. I can’t expect her to be any stronger than that…The four I just mentioned are still in the process of growing, even though they are so strong. They are not in the senior executive ranks at the moment.」

「But the executive ranking is not the top four…As for Sakura-kun, he is not even an executive. What are you going to do about it?」

「The ranks of executives are determined by their overall contribution. So, as long as you are around, they will never be ranked first.」

「Wow, I got a quick and awesome compliment…」

「Then…I guess we’ll have to make a new one.」

「Yes, I agree.」

「The new executive rank that are determined solely by pure strength, not by contribution to the Demon King’s Army. The four strongest elites in the Demon King’s Army. The names are…yes, that’s right. How about『Four Demon General』?」
