I sealed away the fragile future

A dream too grand for these tiny hands

Kokona Plains, South-Central Flonyard

General Godwin, are we proceeding as planned?

Yes, Your Highness Leonmitchelli.

Unfortunately, it has begun to rain.

However, all the troops should reach the fort by noon tomorrow, exactly as you wished, Your Highness.

In preparation for tomorrow's assault on the fort, we have given our troops sufficient food and rest.

Tomorrow, Biscotti's dog princess shall once again taste the bitterness of defeat.

Filiano Castle, Biscotti Republic

As I thought, Galette's Lion Army will try to capture Nion Fort.

Is that Galette mob really planning to seize this place?

Her Highness Leonmitchelli from the Galette Lion Army has always been valiant,

but have her actions ever been this bold?

The reason be what it may, this war will surely be our loss.

If only Lady d'Arquien or Madam Tenko were present...

Both Sir Brioche and Yukikaze have their own missions to complete.

Either way, in the case that we lose this battle, if worse comes to worst, even this Filianno Castle will be...

That's...

We won't let that happen! For our princess and the citizens of Biscotti, in this battle we will-

Eclair! We are in the presence of our princess!

Forgive me...

Thank you, everyone. I understand the war situation of Biscotti.

We absolutely cannot afford to lose this battle.

Thus, I have decided to use our last resort.

Our last resort...?!

As the representative of the Biscotti Republic, in the name of Millhiore Firianno Biscotti,

I shall summon a hero to our country!

Kinokawa city, Japan

Shinku! Shinku! Are you awake?

Yeah, I'm awake!

Then hurry up and come down!

I'll leave you behind if you're going to make us late!

Wait a sec! I'll be right there!

Good morning, Becky.

Good morning, Shinku.

Hey, good job.

Oh yeah, spring break starts tomorrow.

Do you have any plans, Shinku?

Well... Mum and Dad aren't back yet from their business trip...

...so I guess I'll pay a visit to my old home!

Your old home? The one back in England?

Yep, the one in Cornwall.

There's plenty of space to practise there.

You really like athletics, don't you?

Well, of course! It's fun after all!

I have tournaments in July and September, so I have to train a lot.

The Iron Athletics, right?

That's right. The qualification matches are in July, and the main tournament is in September.

You were really close last year!

You almost came in first place.

I know.

I even had you cheering for me.

Well, second place is still a huge accomplishment.

I really want to win this year, though!

That's why I've got to practise like crazy during this break!

Okay, okay. Good luck.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

What?

Are you and your parents free during the last three days of spring break?

I'm not sure. Why?

My parents are returning, so they asked if you wanted to come to our vacation house in Wakayama.

Oh, really?

Yeah, Nanami's coming too.

That sounds great!

It's the season for flower viewing,

so if your parents are busy, it's fine if you come alone.

I-I see. But no way!

I don't want you to abandon me while you run off to do your athletics, like that time when you-

It'll be fine! I'll train like hell until that day!

Don't push yourself too much, okay?

Well, see ya, Becky! Please check your schedule!

All right! I'll text you!

Did you have a fulfilling school life this past year?

Even though we're from different countries, we have all shared our experiences and memories here in Japan.

So, as we begin spring break tomorrow...

What's the matter, Izumi? Leaving early?

Sorry, sir! The plane is arriving soon!

I see. Be careful!

Okay!

I think that Japan is a good country.

Kinokawa city is especially peaceful and convenient.

But... there isn't much room to exercise, so it feels a bit small and boring.

I wish there was a place nearby where I could really move my body.

Ouch...

A girl?

Wait, she has ears? And a tail?!

It's nice to meet you. You are the hero who has answered our summons, correct?

Hero?

I am the one who summoned you!

I'm the Lord of Filianno and leader of the Biscotti Republic.

My name is Millhiore Firianno Biscotti.

Ah yes, my name is Shinku Izumi.

I already know your name, Hero Shinku...

Tatsumaki! Great job on bringing the hero here!

Umm, hey...

Oh, noble hero, we thank you greatly for coming to Flonyard.

Would you consider listening to our story and aiding us in our cause?

Uh, I'd be happy to listen to your story, for now.

Okay.

Oh no! It has already begun!

What's begun?

We are currently at war with a neighbouring country.

The siege on the fort is going well.

It shall fall in no time.

It has opened.

Very well, we shall proceed through the gate.

Understood!

Go forth, my warriors! Today we shall conquer Filianno Castle and make the dog princess and her knights weep!

A bird?

Is this your first time seeing a Serukuru?

Sorry, there aren't any where I'm from.

This is my Serukuru, Harlan. Please climb aboard.

The neighbouring empire, Galette, has been fighting wars with our country for some time now.

We have been on a losing streak recently,

and we've had to relinquish many forts and battlefields.

Even now, they seek to take our castle.

Right now, none stand a chance against the commander of the Galette Lion Army, the Beast King Knight, Lady Leonmitchelli.

Thus, we would like you to aid us, hero!

Well... I'm neither a soldier nor a hero. I'm just a normal middle schooler.

I wonder if I could actually be of any help...

You're being too modest! We are already well aware of your powers.

Another heated battle is starting!

Commentary will be brought to you by Framboise Charley from the Galette Lion Army,

and explanations will be done by both General Bernard and...

Hello.

...Princess Leonmitchelli's personal attendant, Miss Violet!

Good afternoon.

Behold, the advance of the Galette Lion Army has begun!

Having overcome the small fort in a mere 20 minutes, the army is now headed for Biscotti's famous defense line, Filianno Lake Field!

Even our veterans are having a hard time over there, aren't they?

Biscotti cannot afford any further progress of our troops.

Are you all right?

The Biscotti rescue team is swift as always, isn't it, Miss Violet?

I hope that they continue to give their best even after they've fallen.

Supreme commander Leonmitchelli has not gone to the front yet,

but she'll rush forward if a powerful Biscotti knight appears.

Yes, she is very reliable.

Second battalion, charge!

This is kind of bad!

I wonder...

What is the commentary booth doing?

As the Galette soldiers advance, Biscotti's young knight Eclair Martinozzi is taking them on!

Some still survived!

Damn it!

Brother!

Oh wow, that was a close call!

There will be bonus points for the six soldiers who managed to reach the final area,

but I would like to give special points for the one who came so close.

You heard him! Soldiers in the front, there will be bonus points!

How great for them.

This is... a battle?

Indeed. Is this your first time witnessing a battle?

Will anyone actually get hurt or die in this battle?

Of course not!

Charge!

A battle is fought according to the rules set for the entire continent.

So it is the duty of the host to make sure that there are no injuries or accidents.

Of course, these wars are a method of negotiating with the other country, so it might sometimes heat up...

but war is also an event for the people of Flonyard to exercise healthily and compete with each other.

After losing many battles, the morale of both the people and knights has taken a turn for the worse.

With the castle being overrun, those who have fought so hard will feel depressed.

Depressed?

Yes, depressed...

War in another world... summoning a hero...

This is the kind of fantasy world you'd find in a novel Becky might like.

Rationally speaking, this would definitely be a dream, but...

Umm, princess?

Yes?

Am I the hero of this country?

Yes.

You are the person who I chose without hesitation, and you are the hero of this country!

All right! Then I, Hero Shinku, will answer your summoning and try my best to not let you guys down!

Thank you very much!

It's my pleasure.

Then let us return to the castle quickly!

We have prepared all the equipment and weapons.

Tatsumaki! Harlan!

Let's go, Harlan!

Let us go, hero.

Yes, princess!

Woah, we're flying!

Of course! Harlan is great at flying!

Whether it's a dream or reality, it would be a waste not to play in such an interesting place!

The princess is returning with the hero!

Breaking news has just come in!

Princess Millhiore has utilized a hero summoning for this battle!

This is amazing! Even I have never seen a hero being summoned in battle!

Let's see what kind of hero has come forth!

Filianno Castle maid team, have we finished preparing all of the hero's equipment and apparel?

Yes!

All right, then we shall finish changing the hero's clothes 30 seconds after his arrival!

Roger!

A hero?

Seriously?

Princess!

Rico, I'm back.

Welcome back! The hero decided to come, didn't he?

Yes, he is our splendid hero!

People of Biscotti and the Galette Lion Army, thank you for your patience!

We have been losing a lot lately, but that will end today.

A wonderful hero who will bring us hope and victory has arrived!

Let him descend upon the battlefield!

Answering the call from the princess, I, Hero Shinku, have arrived!

A HERO IS BORN!
