I Was Summoned As A Hero, But I Became The Demon Lord Instead

"Hey, when specifically did you get transported here according to our timeline?"

"Why are you suddenly changing the subject?"

"Just tell me, it's important."

"It was the beginning of May in 2019."

"What day specifically?"

"What's with all the questions all of a sudden?"

"According to the timeline in our world I was transported here on May 9th of 2019."

"What?! How is that possible? It was the 4th of May when I came to this world!"

"Actually wait, one moment, doesn't that suddenly make me your senpai? Aren't I actually five years older than you now? Shouldn't you show respect to your elders kid?"

"Hahaha, you really think you're older than me? I'll have you know I've repeated high school quite a few times. I'm what they call a repeater, although some may call me a beater in a sense. Don't underestimate my age you little 23 year old brat."

"What?! You're just making stuff up now because you don't want to respect your elders, right?"

"Please, get on my level little girl. I'll have you know I'm over two thousand years old."

"Hah?! Do you think I'm stupid or something? Do you have eighth grader syndrome? Only a kid would buy into something like that!"

"It's true though, I'll have you know, I was born in ancient Egypt over two thousand years ago within the first pyramid that was constructed."

"Whatever, like I'd believe that. Would you stop messing around and making stuff up please?"

"I'm not messing around, I'm 100% serious."

"Do I really look that gullible? If you're serious then prove it."

"And how am I supposed to prove that?"

"Tell me something only a person who's really lived that long would know."

Finally we're talking the same language here.

"Deal. You know Akechi Mitsuhide, one of the biggest traitors in Japan's history, nicknamed Jubei, right?"

"Yeah. What about him?"

"Well, he was actually a good drinking buddy of mine. Back then when we were drinking I casually mentioned how beautiful fireworks were at the time and we lit a few up outside and shot them up in the air with flaming arrows. We ended up lighting Honnō-ji Temple on fire by accident. Thanks to that there was a giant misunderstanding and history was falsified to cover up the shameful embarrassing story of how we accidentally killed his boss at the time."

"Hah?! Are you taking me for a fool?! Do you really think anyone would believe something absurd like that?!"

"Tch. It's a true story though. Fine, fine. You know the letter Hideyoshi sent regarding slavery in the past? I only managed to survive that whole flaming temple betrayal ordeal thanks to bringing the matter of slavery up to him. I delivered the letter personally back then to redeem myself of my sin of being too drunk at that time."

Her expression told me she was not the slightest bit impressed with my stories so I figured I'd have to go to something more recent. I figured I'd try with a World War II story.

"Okay, okay, fine then. You've learned about World War II right? You know about all the conspiracy theories claiming Hitler somehow escaped and lived, right?"

"Yeah I do. What of them?"

"I can tell you for certain he died, after all, I was the one who really killed him. The Russians claimed Hitler had committed suicide and the SS soldiers burnt his body, but in reality, it was not suicide. I had infiltrated their ranks and after extensive reconnaissance I knew where his underground bunker was before hand. When he finally showed up, disguised as one of their soldiers, I passed him a shot in which I had dissolved cyanide pills in. Afterwards I shot him in the head. I had already fabricated written instructions before hand to have his body burned upon his death in his last will and testament."

"As if!"

"Quiet down, let me at least finish my story."

"In reality Hitler definitely did intend to commit suicide, however it was not as simple as one may believe. Have you not ever wondered why it was an underground bunker he chose to go to in his last hours with his back against the wall with his wife? There were far better last sceneries they could share rather than inside a stuffy underground bunker."

"In the end, it wasn't to simply take his life, it was to wait for the opposing forces to surround them and then take everyone with him. At that time, it was the one thing the world was fearful of, the world always feared Germans creating an atomic bomb first. What the world didn't know, was the Germans hadn't failed like they presumed and they had actually successfully created an atomic bomb."

"It was absolutely top secret and it could be counted on one hand the number of people who at that time were aware of this fact. It was Hitler's absolute last resort when cornered. He planned to take all those who banded against them down to the ground with this final ploy."

"The reason Japan undertook the mission to assassinate him secretly was to take control of those atomic bombs. The reason Japan refused to surrender after Hitler's death was in hopes intel would be returned to them regarding the whereabouts of those very bombs that they could use to turn the tides of war. The Japanese d.e.s.i.r.ed that sort of destructive power back then which they could use to make the world not dare to approach them in the event Germany fell."

"Just as there were radical kamikazes that would go out with a bang, there were those in the military that wished to go down in history like their Samurai ancestors back in the day with the biggest bang known to mankind. It was only after they experienced first hand the horror of a nuclear bomb after Hitler died that they wished such weapons would never see the light of day again."

"..."

She looked speechless as though she couldn't find it in herself to say anything at how absurd the story sounded.

"In the end, I betrayed Japan back then and chose not to bring back the intel pertaining to the bombs as I vaguely understood the horror of those weapons after seeing first hand a test detonation of one of them. It was a top secret infiltration mission with only one man to prevent any leaks."

"The reason I chose to have his body burned was in fear Hitler had hidden some sort of written clues on him or even inside him that would lead other nations discovering those terrifying weapons of mass destruction."

"I naturally also faked my death and started another life under a new identity afterwards. It was my oversight that Japan would hold out stubbornly and refuse to surrender in hope of gaining the power to retaliate and turn the tables on the allies. If I had returned and informed them the mission had failed I would have been killed then and there. Perhaps they would have then surrendered. In the end the decision I made resulted in me bearing the sin of having a nuclear bomb detonate and kill countless people. Many lives were lost while many lives were ruined thanks to my selfishness. I would probably be called Japan's biggest traitor in history if this was known."

"But to this day, those weapons, the only person remaining who knows of their existence is me. The detonator was hidden far beneath the earth below the underground bunker Hitler holed up in, while the bombs were hidden in various locations throughout Germany where the allied forces would have positioned themselves to surround axis forces. Hitler planned to hold out in the underground bunker and eventually fake his suicide there with bodies prepared before hand where he would have then pulled off the greatest escape never seen before in history."

"However that was all foiled thanks to my interference."

"Sorry, I can't believe it. It's too far fetched. There's no way any of that could be possible. It sounds like an interesting story, but it just sounds like another absurd conspiracy theory."

"There are many facts in history that are covered up and altered to make them appear more beautiful and moving little girl. Humans are disgusting creatures that like to do things like that all the time to suit their tastes. Whether you believe it or not, it really doesn't matter. As one who was brainwashed your entire life to believe that the books only contain historical facts, perhaps you will never understand that you should only believe what you see with your own two eyes."

"You should understand well how mass media works. It's all to control the people. It's all for the sake of maintaining the status quo and peace."

"If Hitler's final plot was made known to the world after having been foiled, what would have happened to the innocent people who lived within Germany? Would they not be ostracized, condemned and looked down upon for as long as they lived? Hitler was one man, but if he personally pulled the trigger and detonated those atomic bombs, just how would the image of the world towards Germans turn? They would have definitely suffered through utmost seething rage from all sides of the world, far worse than what they ended up suffering through. Whether they be innocent or guilty, hate does not discriminate after all."

"Enough. I've heard enough of this nonsense. This doesn't serve as proof of anything."

"Well you're right, you can just consider it the rambling delusions of a naive high schooler. However, it is a fact that I'm over two thousand years old."

Of course a bit of the information I told her was a lie. The story was true, however, it's rather shameful of me to say it, but I made a mistake back then. I underestimated Hitler's insanity. Hitler had inscribed the information pertaining to the nuclear weapons on his jaw bone through an encrypted message. The Russians got ahold of it that jaw bone, but never allowed anyone to examine it until 2017. The reason they finally allowed for it to be examined was that they had finally cracked the code and had acquired the intel on the atomic bombs from all those years ago. Afterwards, they erased the evidence of the encrypted message on the jaw bone and finally allowed others to examine it, finally bringing a close to the conspiracy theories claiming Hitler was alive.

Even now Russia is secretly trying to get their hands on those atomic bombs. The final stage of their plan started in May of 2018 with the preparatory work towards building Nord Stream 2. The entire development of the German Russian pipeline, Nord Stream, was all a distraction for their true hidden motives to dig around underground to investigate for clues.

Haha, really, it's so funny I can't even find it in myself to laugh. Nord meaning north in Russian while stream can be translated to strom in German, which can be interpreted as power. In my eyes it just looks really ironic, it just feels like it means power to the north when they are basically selling power to Germans.

The Russians most likely gained some understanding behind the intel left behind by Hitler and set up the preparatory work with the first Nord Stream pipeline. It likely wasn't until 2017 that they fully cracked the encrypted message where they planned the secondary phase of Nord Stream 2. It would give them more opportunities to dig about secretly in Germany in search of those ancient relics of war.

Of course, this has nothing to do with me any longer, so there's no point bringing it up with this kid who's still wet behind the ears.

Well, enough of the history lesson. It was about time for me to get to work.

I picked up my hand she dropped on the ground and left her behind to start practicing. She didn't bother following me or saying anything more and just stood in place with a deep frown on her face and confusion in her eyes.

It wasn't my place to convince her of a pointless history buried in the sands of time that was now unrelated to us anyways. Even if she believed it, it didn't affect anything. It'd be best to just treat my words as the ramblings of a lunatic with a bloated ego.
