Reincarnated Vampire Princess and Former Hero, Trample Over Mankind

Chapter 48

Vampire Princess and Former Hero Unveiling

Translated by AmaLynne

「…Hmmm, I see. A beautiful girl indeed.」

「Isn’t she?」

「With her small size, she looks more like a fairy than Rain.」

「Vinel, come here for a minute.」

We were gathered in the Demon King-sama room while Vinel-san was being chased around by a very small typhoon created by Rain-san.

…No, to be precise, we were gathering, or rather, we were preparing.

The room has been expanded by Feria-san spatial magic, and there are now more than a hundred demons in it.

In addition to the races of those who have been selected as executives, there seem to be various other races, such as the fish people, giant people, dwarf people, and so on.

Probably, the chiefs of each race and the elite class among the races are gathered here.

「A-Are you going to announce the existence of Yomi now?」

「Yes, I am. The sooner we do this, the better. If we don’t do it now, it may cause trouble later on.」

「That, that may be true…After all, some people may not be comfortable with the idea of having a human as a companion…」

「Well, that’s a fair point. But you underestimated the demons who have been ruled by Isuzu. Watch me.」

With that, Demon King-sama quickly left.

…I wonder if she’s okay, really.

◆◇◆◇◆

「Aaa―…Ohon. Dear brethren. Let me express my deepest gratitude to you for having gathered here so early.」

With that greeting, the room, which had been a little tense, fell silent.

「Now, of course, there are reasons why I have called you and others together. First of all… humans have been putting『hero』into the front lines and inflicting a fair amount of damage on us. One girl succeeded in stopping them.」

At these words, a voice from inside the room said,「Oohhh…」

Oh no, that’s embarrassing.

「Let me introduce you to the princess of the vampire race, Lean Bloodlord, the『Vampire Princess』. Now, come forward.」

……………Huh?

What?

「Come on, Lean-chan, you’re being called.」

「Eh, you know, wait…I haven’t heard of it!?」

「I didn’t tell you. Come on.」

「Eh, wait…」

Pushed out of the way in vain resistance, I was forced to go in front of the Demon King-sama.

The reactions of the demon tribe members were varied. Some are impressed, some are astonished, and some are skeptical.

Ah, I’m not good in front of people. …….

「…Well done. In honor of this achievement, you will be given the title of semi-executive of the Demon King’s Army. And here is your prize. It’s just a dagger, but it’s made strong enough that it won’t break even if you use it…Keep up the good work.」

…Let’s see, what do I say in a situation like this…

Damn, remember what you knew in your previous life!

「…I am honored, Demon King-sama. I am honored to have been appointed as a semi-executive of the Demon King’s Army. Thank you very much. With this new weapon, I will cut down all of the foolish enemies who are opposing the Demon King Army.」

…I don’t know, something doesn’t feel quite right, did I get through it?

「Mm, take care of it. You can step back now.」

Made it through!

Safe!

When I returned to the back of the building, the executives greeted me……They were kind of pouting though.

「…Um, guys? Is something wrong?」

「Huh? Uh, no…You know, where did Lean learn to use language like that? I can’t believe she’s eight years old, she’s so polite. I think the Demon King-sama was quite surprised, although she didn’t show it on her face.」

「Huh?」

…Oh shoot, maybe I’m being too mature in my language!

「Ehh, uh, uh…Yes, mom! My mom taught me!」

「Heh, isn’t she a solid mother?」

Ah, my mom in heaven, I’m so sorry.

Your daughter has lied.

It doesn’t hurt my conscience no matter how many lies I tell to the humans, but it hurts so much in front of these people…

◆◇◆◇◆

「…Now, here’s the real story. This time, through a secret operation, we succeeded in capturing the『hero』in custody. And…I hereby declare that the hero, or rather, the former hero, shall join the Demon King’s Army in my name.」

Immediately afterward, there was a stir among the demon tribe.

It was a natural reaction.

It seemed that many of them were still puzzled.

「Quiet! …Of course, even I would not say such a thing without a reason. She had her reasons. That is…」

Well, I guess the stakes are high from here, aren’t they?

After hearing about Yomi’s past, will the demon tribe accept her or not…Hmm?

Huh? Is this normal?

Most of the people here listen seriously to what I have to say about Yomi, show anger toward the humans, and seem sympathetic toward Yomi.

Some of them are even shedding tears.

「Now then, let’s have her come. She is a former hero and will be the only human being in the Demon King’s army. As a hero, she was the most powerful and unique genius of all time, a genius of the divine class… Yomi!」

「Y-Yes!」

When Yomi was called upon to respond and appear before everyone…The room was instantly filled with applause.

…………Demon tribe, is so heartwarming!?

They are nice people! Demon King-sama was right, totally underestimating the demon tribe!

As expected from the race created by Isuzu-sama. Their character is different.

「Um, uhh, I’m…I’m Yomi, a former hero, thanks for the introduction…Um, I’ll do my best, so please take care of me…」

Applause.

The demon tribe members were celebrating Yomi, who had been reborn from a brave warrior and had become a warrior in the Demon King’s army, without hesitation.

Yomi was almost in tears. If you ask me, I’m about to cry too.

…I’m really glad I was born a demon tribe.

I shudder to think that if I had been reincarnated as a human, I would have been one of the scums of the earth.
