YEAR 432 OF THE HOLY GOD CALENDAR WILDERNESS OF SIDON

On we go.

There aren't many workers at a rock quarry in the first place.

I can't believe a gargoyle attacked them.

The people couldn't be more grateful a Holy Sword Hero is here to help.

LEONIS SHEALTO, AGE 16

Maintaining peace and order in the region is ordered by the king.

How splendid of you, Lord Leonis.

While the other Six Heroes are protecting the Royal Capital or Holy City,

you're here on the frontier defeating monsters for us.

I much prefer the monsters as my opponent.

It might even be interesting to keep them as pets.

A funny joke!

I didn't expect to hear that from the Hero who destroyed the Dark Lord Zor Vadis.

So, where are the gargoyles?

Don't let him escape!

Attack!

Okay, let him down.

And so marks the end of the Hero Leonis who threatened our Lord.

What a waste, he commanded more respect from the people than the king himself.

He had delusions of keeping monsters as pets.

He was too far gone.

If he had shown the desire for status or money,

he would have just been bought off.

How horrible.

You realized it was a trap, didn't you?

I did.

In any case,

the men of power have finally killed you, the man who saved the world.

A common tale for sure.

You were betrayed.

Do you not want revenge?

No.

Those people aren't wicked men.

I see.

Then let me ask.

Do you think this world is just?

I don't care.

In the end, the world is the way it is.

Is that how you see it?

As for me,

I plan to rebel against this world.

What do you think?

Why are you inviting me?

I have something I can only ask you to do.

Actually, that's not it.

I've watched you this whole time.

I've grown to like you.

Being a hero is boring.

Become mine, Leonis.

Roselia.

My mission is to find her, and resurrect her demon army,

after being reincarnated over a thousand years later.

Awaken my vassal!

I seem to have suddenly waken up.

This is a seal of control.

It is paired with the mark of servitude engraved onto you.

It allows me to control my vassals, so it easily awakens you.

Oh, so you woke me up.

Wait a second.

You can control me and make me do whatever you want?

Yes.

Like, sex?

I don't do that kind of stuff.

That's right. You were such a gentleman in the bath.

I'd also like if you were a gentlewoman.

Huh?

It seems you drank from me while I was sleeping.

It was just a little.

I suddenly wasn't able to resist.

You are my vassal, so it doesn't matter if you feed on me.

It must be hard to resist your vampire instincts at night.

But at least let me know.

Okay, I understand. I'm sorry.

Hmm?

Yes? Good morning, Finé.

What's the matter?

There's something interesting here. I wanted to let our platoon leader know.

What is it?

There was a summon to a strategic meeting.

So early on a rest day?

I don't know what it's about but I think it's about the investigation team.

They were searching the ocean area, right?

It seemed odd to me they're having such an early strategy meeting

while the results of the investigation aren't in the database.

At any rate, I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Okay, contact me anytime.

Did something happen?

Yeah, but it seems everything's okay.

Anyway, Leo!

There aren't any classes at the academy today.

I'd like you to really train me hard today!

You replenished your magic reserves last night

so you want to use some energy, huh?

Don't say it like that.

11 hours have passed since we lost communication

with the 13th platoon near the fourth anchor.

ACTING COMMANDER CASTRAS NECKEO

They all died?

With half of the year spent on trips to the imperial capital

without a commander, these kinds of things happen.

There are signs of the Voids

in the data sent right before we lost their signal.

But it disappears after three seconds.

Voids usually go wild for a while, then disappear or crystallize.

But three seconds is too short. Could it by an instrument malfunction?

It's still sensing changes in magic waveform feature points and spatial mass.

We have images.

It's a data-link in the ocean so it isn't clear.

Like the roots of a tree.

We checked sources from the library but were unable to find a matching plant.

A new type of Void?

It's possible a Void or a Void Lord adapted it.

A Void Lord!?

Is there any proof?

It is just a possibility.

They're synonymous with The Stampede!

The tragedy that befell the Third Assault Garden six years ago.

You can't have forgotten.

Advisor.

It is exactly because we have not forgotten that we increased

the defensive capabilities of the Seventh Assault Garden.

As well as push forward the training of Holy Swordsmen.

It is all to exact revenge.

Us private citizens have also kept up with our daily training.

If something were to happen we are able to evacuate to the shelters.

There is an unsettling force

who reject imperial rule in the Ajin Special Zone, isn't there?

Can you be sure that they will not cause a panic?

If there is the chance of a Stampede then they should move quickly.

The magical furnace is stable at a power output of 90%.

We will be able to escape at fifth battle speed.

That is too passive of a stance. The Tactical City's ability

to move through the water is not meant for running from the Voids.

Yes?

Yes, I understand.

The commander's decision was made.

As long as the signal of the Voids has disappeared,

it is too early to consider a mode-shift or retreat to the ocean.

It's an order for another investigation.

Roger that.

We will form a powerful reconnaissance unit with three elite platoons.

If it is a small group of Voids we will be able to eliminate them.

The designation code UK6402 will be assigned to the target

and input into the imperial database.

Don't overlook any crystals!

Understood.

We have never allowed a Void to invade this city.

That will not change.

Just in case I'll assign a skilled Holy Swordsman to gather information.

Yes.

That's some great swordsmanship.

Are you familiar with swordsmanship?

Oh, yeah a bit.

Selia, did you learn from a master?

My family taught me since I was little.

But since I've come here I've been studying on my own.

I'm nowhere close to swordmasters like Sakuya.

The specialty of a vampire queen is her enormous magical power.

I'll eventually teach you to use magic.

Really?

Yes, I think it's best to raise your physical ability with magic,

and use your swordsmanship to become a magic swordsman.

Let's do it!

Alright, then I'll give you a more practical opponent.

Brave soldiers of the dead!

Answer the call of your Undead Lord!

What is this!?

Skeletons?

The lowest level of vassal.

Wow, it seems young people from this time have not seen skeletons before.

Feel free to destroy as many as you want.

Alright then, I won't hold back.

Here comes more!

Okay!

I think that should be enough.

Thank you so much.

Do you want to replenish your magic?

I-I'm okay.

You seem to have gotten used to fighting with your new body.

I'm still working on it but I can tell I've gotten stronger.

Thanks to you, Leo.

As my vassal I hope you continue to get stronger.

I'll buy you lunch as thanks for training me.

There is a restaurant I recommend outside of the academy.

I can't have you paying for me every time.

Good grief.

This body is hard to control.

Alpha Company, carry out a power reconnaissance

concerning UK6402 at the designated location.

This is Alpha One, roger that.

Finally won, it's been a while.

Gambling is definitely best done with a gun.

What a magnificent coat!

It gives off such a noble aura!

You don't have a collar so you must not be a pet.

Alright!

I'll name you Black Steel Fluffykins.

Is that right? You like your name, huh?

It was bought with easy money so don't worry.

You should eat it when you are hungry.

See you again someday Black Steel Fluffykins.

Come in.

Hello!

This is sweet potato dough, could you give it a try for me?

How energizing.

It is a day off.

I'm thinking I'll stun the boy by making some fancy sweets.

Yum, it's perfect!

Alright!

Come in.

Listen guys!

I met a magnificent dog in front of the dorm.

His name is Black Steel Fluffykins, because his coat is amazing.

I became friends with him.

You mean you found a stray dog and gave it a name?

You shouldn't feed it.

I'll introduce everyone to him next time.

Is that freshly made?

I'm still making it but go ahead if you want.

I'd love it.

I haven't eaten since last night.

There is black tea in the pot.

Much appreciated.

By the way, why are you wearing your uniform?

It's a rest day.

Just in case, if I'm called by an instructor.

Huh?

They're asking me to gather and analyze Intel.

The platoon that went to investigate in the ocean didn't return.

A new reconnaissance troop has been deployed.

Is it the Voids?

We don't know yet.

Where is Selia, by the way?

It's a rest day so she's having lunch at her usual spot.

-Oh? -Hm?

Looking at everything again, it really is tremendous, the human civilization.

If I don't get a job and make money I can't buy my Lord his snacks.

New girl!

Can I ask you to make some french fries?

I can do anything.

Okay, cut these.

There is a knife right there.

It doesn't seem sharp.

I will use my own knife.

Huh?

W-What are you doing!?

Seriously, what happened!?

I did exactly what you asked.

Okay, could you please clean the front of the shop instead?

Wait right here.

Welcome.

Please give me ten East Standards and Glazed Crullers.

Hold this.

Don't eat any, they're a gift.

I can't believe she's making my lord carry her package!

He is too forgiving of his vassal.

Even so, I wonder where the two of them are going.

The Sunny Spot House?

Is this the restaurant you were talking about?

That's right.

Let's go inside.

Sister Selia!

-It's Sister Selia! -Selia's here!

W-What is this?

This is their house, although it's also a restaurant.

I work here sometimes.

There are some kids close to your age. Come make some friends.

So these kids are also orphans.

We went on a field trip the other day!

That's great, where did you go?

To the outer edge...

Things were very different for me back then.

Is your name Leo?

Are you friends with Sister Selia?

We've missed you Sister Selia, you haven't been here in so long.

I'm sorry, I've been busy with mid-term exams.

I can't let that be!

Oh, it's okay. He's just a young kid.

I guess I got a little too angry.

Dean, stop playing tricks.

I wasn't!

Ms. Phrenia, hello!

Ms. Phrenia is the owner here.

Welcome. Who is this?

The kid we saved from the ruins.

Leo is a Holy Swordsman.

What? Really!?

-So cool! -That's amazing!

G-Get off!

Here are vegetables we grew at the dorm.

You always give us so much.

I also bought some doughnuts on the way here!

-Doughnuts, yay! -Haven't had doughnuts in ages!

Let's dig in!

Alright, lets have some when it is snack time.

Selia, you're going to make lunch today too right?

Of course!

Yay!

Huh...

So this is the place that Riselia wants to protect.

The place I should be protecting,

doesn't exist anymore.

There's nothing here.

Do you think they crystallized?

Hm?

Tremors underground on the outer edge of the city?

This is...

The sweet potatoes are ready!

Did something happen?

Why is my heart racing?

We just checked our food stockpiles last month didn't we?

Stop complaining.

It is a request straight from the council.

What is this?

It's so good!

Where are the doughnuts?

Doughnuts are for dessert, you have to wait.

URGENT SUMMONS

We have 25 seconds this time.

I can have a sit then.

I will give you a lecture on the work of a maid.

When welcoming you say, "Welcome home master."

Pictures cost money, take a lot.

Draw a cute picture on the omelet rice.

Last is the spell.

Come back, come back to us

Come to life with my black magic dead spirit.

On your way master.
