The Immortal Demon King and the Impaired Hero c2

One day, the maou sensed an unknown magical power invading the castle.
The maou sat on a throne, with a melancholic expression.
Between the throne room and his castle, the castle was formed by many battles with the heroes.
Faded blood was scattered around at the floor and on the walls, and mountains of rubbish were everywhere.
It is impossible to live there, even though it's big, it reached the level where it would collapse if one does not repair it.
But he didn't repair anything, except the bas.e.m.e.nt.
After becoming pseudo immortal, the body of the maou had no need for food or sleep.
He can't starve to death, nor die from fatigue or overwork. Even if he doesn't consume nutrients, there won't be any harm in trying to live in an inconvenient environment.
This kind of maou, doesn't necessarily seek residence and a landscape in the castle, so it is left as it is.

It was almost simultaneous when the maou put his elbow on the armrest of his thrown and poked his cheek.
The door opened with an unpleasant sound.

I just pointed my eyes to the door. I worshipped the unbelievable face that came to this castle, alone.
Wait, with a lot of frustration, chagrin and gaudy appearance.
However! Let's go through that gap, but it's impossible to defeat this maou.
That's proven by the fact that he wasn't defeated by any hero without rising from the throne in the past century.
The maou's status reached an unbelievable level from the heroes sight.
He himself couldn't know only from the reactions of the heroes. I don't know exactly either.

There was no kind of cheat as a summoning present, like for the heroes, for the maou.
Well now, this presence is a cheat
The abilitys of the hero are three. Status open, item box and skills to use the Holy Sword.
Nowadays the heroes are overpowered. They can knock down a thousand monsters with just one blow and making opponents of dozens of demons.
You can give such a subst.i.tute.
It's very different from the demons, who became strong from learning by themselves right from the beginning.

> Sorrowfully breathing out and waiting for the intruder to finally step into the room.
However, the opponent doesn't show up.
Something similar happened before somehow, a memorable memory.
The maou has a smile on his face.
There are signs of her, without doubt.
However, she seems to be watching from the shadow of the door, so she probably won't come in easily.

"Come in, quickly!"

The maou that thought it's troublesome to wait, caused a wind to blow into the room with magic.
Then, the door bounced, and one shadow jumped in by getting blown away.
I glanced at the debris of the shattered door, as if it was me for a short moment, and then I looked at the small shadow which was groaning.
"Well.. Welcome to Magus castle, welcome."
A voice without any emotion echoes through the room.
The shadow of the intruder shook his shoulders shivering, but he slowly stood up, holding his shoulder. Even if he got shot.

Long, glossy black hair, black eyes similar to the eyes of a cat somehow.
Although the carving is not deep, it is a well formed face. The body is small and delicate.
It is the same as him-

"..j.a.panese...?"

As if it's not possible, the maou shook his head.
If a girl in front of you looks j.a.panese, the girl will without a doubt, be a hero.
However, the magical power one could feel from that girl was so small, it can't be compared to a hero, because it's at the same level of an average person.

More than anything, I don't have the holy sword.
But after he murmured something, the girl opened her eyes wide.

"Why did you..."

Is what he said with a startled expression on his face.
His reaction is a dialogue, and it seems to rephase without thinking.
While listening to the disturbance and confusion in his mind, imagining several possibilities in the calm part of his head.
And the most likely possibility among them came.

"Reincarnation, or..?"

Only the soul crosses between world, and will be given a new life in a different world.
Althoughit is remarkable that the memory was kept, it will become unclear with the flow of time.
It felt, as if there was some kind of novel and story like this in his original world.
Someone, reincarnated from the same world as the maou.
If that was the case, the reaction of the girl will convince him.
He wanted to be sure.

"You, are you a reincarnate?"

"What is reincarnation?"

The girl tilts her head as if she doesn't understand anything.
The option that was the most likely to be considered, was denied.
"If not, who are you then?"

"Someone that's determined?"

He (the maou) set up his sword with a slow movement, and he told the girl-

"Beat down the devil, hero."

As if time had stopped, silence lies between them.
At first, the demon thought he heard wrong.
There's no holy sword, and there's just an ordinary amount of magical power.
The sword facing him, and the armor she's wearing are not first-rate, at most, it's a poor subst.i.tute far away from 2nd place.
Such a child is the hero.

"Don't be silly..."

The evil spirit sorrowfully murmured.

"Stuuupid, faking the name of the hero, you´re nothing but a fool after pa.s.sing through danger."

"I'm genuine, a real hero!"

"Huh? There's just a sword, not a holy sword. You´re a strange hero."

"That's..."

After the matter about the holy sword got pointed out, the girl is filled with regret.

"...I was refused."

"..What is.....?"

"...I got refused" By the holy sword! Is that bad?"

The girls face turned red and she started screaming.
The demon was amazed.
To be accurate, he was surprised that the holy sword refused her."

"So you got rejected by the holy sword? That's the fact?"

The maou turned his eyes of doubt to the utterly unbelievable absurd talk.
But the girl told him to spit out without noticing that.

"It's a fact, because I tried to touch the holy sword, I got rejected...really, what.."

The girl stares at empty s.p.a.ce with distant eyes while thinking of these days.
It doesn't seem to be a lie, looking at her.
What does that mean? The maou shrugged off his face.
Everyone was able to handle the holy sword.
Although there were differences between the former heroes.
Every hero had an enormous magical power and cheats such as status open and item box.
In comparison, the girl in front of him is nothing but a joke of a hero.
Not only her magical power, but everything on her looks poor.
Suddenly, another possibility emerged from the mind of the maou.

-Failure in summoning.

Something went wrong while summoning, and she was not given the ability.
Therefore, she couldn't possibly have a holy sword, and her magical power is just a crowd.
It is possible.
The maou confirms it with her again.

"Can you use status open and item box?"

"I don't know what that is."

The girl can't grasp the intent of his question, and has a strange expression.
On the other hand, the maou was convinced that his hypothesis was the reason for the reaction of the girl,
and at the same time he realized this, he calmed down.
This girl doesn't know anything, didn't she get notified?
Why is she being called hero, even though she didn't inherit the power?
Yet she came this far.
I don't know what thought got her this far.

How punning and funny - enviable.

"Kukuku, kuahahahahahaha!"

"What?" What's wrong?!"

The demon smiled.

"I think that you´re a lucky person."

"I'm lucky? Am I stupid?"

The girl doesn't really know what he means.
But the devil has no memory of wanting to psychological punish her to make her stupid.

"I'm not stupid.. I only thought that I'm happy being ignorant."

"You´re stupid!"

"Aya.."

After lightly treating the girl, the demon submerses himself deeply into his throne.

"Let's end this farce."

After the maou said so, the girl readies her sword with a serious look.

"Even if I don't have a holy sword, I won't loose. I will defeat you to help those, who are suffering because of you!"

The girl declared in high att.i.tude, but the maou just looks at her like he was seeing something boring.
He didn't even listen to her words.
The maou just said a single word to the girl.

"Leave."

He said nothing else, and quietly closed his eyes.
