Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind

Chapter 27

Hero Collapse

Translated by AmaLynne

「Well then, that’s all for today, hero. Pray to the Misery-sama for having been able to train properly today.」

Hearing those words from the priest, my training for the day was over.

The guards came, grabbed me by the neck, and threw me into jail.

And in a few hours, hell will begin again.

I don’t want to do this anymore. I can’t wait to get out of here. I want to die… But I don’t have the courage. No, even if I did, I would only be forcibly revived.

…I am a『hero』. I’ve been educated to sacrifice myself and exterminate demons to protect mankind.

But I have nothing against the demons. On the contrary, I have an intense resentment against the people of my village who put me in this place, and the knights and the Twelve Holy Apostles who hurt me…I am sure.

I no longer know my mind, and I don’t even know if I am harboring a grudge.

Furthermore, I have recently realized.

I can’t remember my name.

I was brought here, suddenly violated and locked up, and all that time I have only been called『hero』.

Maybe that’s why I can’t even remember my name anymore.

Ahaha… I guess I’m finally screwed, myself.

I can’t remember my name. Nor my age, nor my old personality.

…………

…………What is『me』?

I don’t know the name. I can’t remember my age. All I know is that I am『hero』.

But a hero is like a guardian god of human beings.

Then, why am I trapped here?

…Am I maybe not even a hero?

Then what am I?

What am I? What am I? What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I What am I

―――Snap.

「Ora hero, get up! …An? You’re awake? Then get the hell out of here… What the hell? You’ve got weird eyes, you creepy bastard…」

「Oh, you’re here, hero. Come this way quickly, I’ll train you hard today… Baboon…What? Hey, isn’t this guy acting kind of funny?」

「Really? It’s not always like this…but something’s different.」

「Oi, are you alive? ……Oi, answer me!!! ……What the hell is this guy, she’s creepy…… I ain’t gonna raise my voice one bit if you hit…」

「Then pray to the Misery-sama today…? Somehow, the atmosphere is different from yesterday…what is this…? What if!」

◆◇◆◇◆

「……There is no doubt about it. Her heart is completely broken. It looks like a success.」

「Oh, at last. You’ve been very persistent, that’s for sure… All right, then, you can start raising the bar tomorrow. The『hero』can get a lot of experience by killing demons. Let her kill all the demons they have taken captive.」

「Your will be done, Your Eminence.」

◆◇◆◇◆

「Y-You want these children to carry out executions…?」

「Don’t open your mouth, you devil! Hero, kill him quickly.」

「…………」

「Damn humans, how rotten can you be!!」

Zash.

Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Zash. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha. Gusha.

―――Where am I?

When I came to, I found myself lying on my back in the woods.

My body was in shreds, and I couldn’t even move my fingers.

When I moved my barely moving neck, I saw many people around me who had collapsed just like me.

Unlike me, they looked dead, but I guess they were the same. I’m going to have a broken heart soon anyway, and『I』will die.

……Huh?

If I look closely, is this my body?

My arms and legs are growing and I feel like I have a strong body.

Well, what does it matter?

This must be a dream.

I will wake up in a few minutes and that hell will begin.

Maybe it’s God’s way of telling me to go outside and be free from human beings, at least in my dream.

Actually, this is a nice place. The air is good because it’s in the forest, it smells good, and there’s a beautiful full moon today.

I wonder how long it has been since I have seen the moon.

「………I wish I never woke up from this.」

「What are you talking about? I mean, did you even speak?」

Startled by the sudden voice, I turned around and saw… There was a beautiful girl.

She had long black hair and a black dress. She had an enviably pretty face.

For some reason, she had scars all over her body and her clothes were torn in several places, but she had not lost her beauty.

…And red eyes and double teeth. I remember a race that has both of these features.

―――Vampire race.

A race of night people who have the special power to raise their status according to the phases of the moon and live at the opposite time to humans.

This beautiful girl must be a vampire, in other words, a demon.

「Huh? She had eyes like a dead man just now, but now they’re normal… Not so much, but they’re relatively close to human eyes… Maybe her heart is healed? No, I don’t think it will heal that fast.」

Healed hearts? What are you talking about?

「Oh, I kidnapped you for the time being… I have to protect you. Ouch… I ache all over…《Intermediate Healing》…I’m feeling a little better. Tiana-san, please transfer us.」

The moment she said that, the scenery around her changed.

It was like a throne room…

AN: This is the end of the story from the point of view of the hero girl!
I wanted to write this part. I finally got around to writing it, and it’s kind of refreshing.
