Side Story: Mad for the Far Away Hero 2 “Alesia-sama, how do you fare?” Said the man who entered my room. He had a face riddled with battle scars and looked to be in his late twenties. His name is Guidott, said to be the strongest knight of the kingdom, and currently captain of our knight’s order. He had both an appearance and personality that revealed a plethora of experience on the battlefield, and he had a tone of voice that has become coarse and low over the years. The presence of such a man was in complete contrast with the lavish room of one such as I, a princess. Well, that matters not in the least, not at present. “Yes, Guidott, I feel fine. The pain has fully gone, and fortunately, there had been no curse set on me when the necklace was removed.” A week prior, the researchers that had been called over from Elmia had finally unraveled the mystery behind my prized necklace. They had discovered that the reason that prized ornament was causing me such suffering and misfortu...

Side Story: Mad for the Far Away Hero 1 Why, Why, Why. Even till the very end, Kaito-sama’s heart had remained imprisoned by that Devil. Even when I’m the one who loves you most. Even when I’m the one you should’ve loved the most. Even when I’m the one most worthy of you. But I’m, not the one beside you. And you’re, not the one beside me. Why, do you shed tears for that Devil. Why, does your heart break for that Devil. Why, do you desire that Devil. If only you had desired me, I would’ve have given you my body, my soul, my everything. Of course, if only that Devil was gone, Kaito-sama would finally open his eyes. For he is the one destined to vanquish that Devil. And I, am the one who’d stand closest to him as he did. I can still remember the joy from when I learned of that destiny. I can still remember the despair of having that destiny defiled. Which was why I thought everything would be resolved once that Devil, the defiler of my destiny, was killed. And after t...

Side Story: The Hero doesn’t Know, but Due Carnage and Subsequent Resolution has been Accounted for It was the day when my Goshujin-sama would bring the girl called Shuria home. I had done all my duties for the day, including the making of dinner at the inn’s kitchen, a place I was now thoroughly familiar with, and was in the middle of awaiting their return. “Welcome home, Goshujin-sama. And, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Shuria.” “The pleasure is all mine! I believe you must be Minnalis-san?” The two of us exchanged this first greeting with amiable smiles. I had no doubt that she had at least an inkling as to my goals concerning certain things, yet she showed no weakness such as diverting her gaze. She exuded a much stronger, more powerful impression than what I’d been told of. Perhaps her recent betrayal was what caused this dramatic change? I’d been told that she only had traces of elven blood in her, so what was the deal with this odd color of skin? Her ears were still tape...

Volume 2 Epilogue That day, every single denizen of Elmia was fraught with tension. And who could blame them? The research institute that was the town’s pride had exploded into fire and rubble, and when they went to douse the flames, swarms of undead started gushing out from the wreckage. Undead, that is, a type of monster that couldn’t at all be called a living creature, were quite an unknown to the gathering onlookers, which escalated their panic. Then again, the loud explosion did rouse most of the townspeople from their sleep, and along with the clergymen who specialized in Holy or Light magic, the resident adventurers and guards also aided in swiftly bringing the situation under control. To that end, the total souls lost that night turned out to be surprisingly low despite the severity of the disaster. Relatively speaking, other than the magic tool research institute, Elmia’s infrastructure hadn’t suffered much damage at all. But it would’ve been quite a different story had...

Chapter 28: And Then, It Made The Sound Of Breaking Yumis was staring daggers at me from her position, still prone on the ground. But since I’d smashed her ankles, she wasn’t going anywhere. “Urgh, ah, you seem to take great pleasure in beating a downed, defenseless woman, Hero. I expect no less from a twisted man who lusts for the demon lord-DHH!!” “Oh, so you get it. That’s right, Leticia was a fine girl. And an ugly bitch like you don’t get to speak of her with that filthy mouth.” I downed a potion to recover some MP while jostling Yumis’ wounds with my sword. Then I healed those wounds and proceeded to make new ones. Once my MP got low, I’d repeat this. Yumis, whose family was related to the country’s defense, was a member of high noble society and had trained in skills to mute pain and the like. I couldn’t expect much reaction from her like this, but in a way, it was better that she was able to take this punishment relatively unfazed. Any normal person without these pain mu...
