Exiled to the Graveyard of Heroes, I Revived Them All and Now an Unprecedented Nation of Legends Has Been Born - Chapter 11: The Hero of [Resurrection] Talks with an Isekai Girl

Chapter 11: The Hero of [Resurrection] Talks with an Isekai Girl

“So basically, the reason the settlement got attacked was because the Kingdom was after that isekai girl, Shizukuishi?”

“Yes.”

It was nighttime.

I told Silesta and the others what the village chief had said about the girl from another world, and we began discussing what to do next.

Zona, who had been quietly listening until now, gradually narrowed her eyes.

“This is unpleasant.”

“Eh?”

“Summoning people from another world is a ritual that distorts dimensions. Unless one possesses godlike magical power, like the goddess herself, it cannot be performed properly. For mere humans to attempt it, they would require a great number of sacrifices.”

“Sacrifices…?”

Yeah… if it was the Ixion Kingdom, I could believe it.

They were the kind of bastards who trampled on people without a second thought. Rounding up sacrifices wouldn’t be out of character for them at all.

“So, it’s clear the Kingdom is targeting this Shizukuishi girl.”

“The real question is, what are we going to do with her, mister?”

“…As for me, I think we should protect her and hear her story in detail. She might also know something about those ‘guns.’”

I said this while staring at one of the strange weapons the soldiers had been using.

Earlier, after the beastmen had gone to sleep, I resurrected one of the soldiers and—well—let’s just say I “asked him a few questions.”

Apparently, these so-called guns were weapons developed under the lead of another isekai boy, something that completely overturned every existing weapon until now.

To put it bluntly—

“This ‘gun’ is dangerous.”

“Really? I mean, when it hit me, it just left a red mark. Barely did any damage.”

“…The Ixion soldiers who attacked the settlement were the lowest of the low. Absolute bottom-rung grunts.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t you get it? Even those bottom-feeders were each carrying a dozen or so guns.”

Zona was the only one who nodded at my words.

“Ah, I see.”

“Wait, wait—Zona!! Don’t just nod by yourself, explain it so I can understand too!!”

“In that case, let me make it simple enough for Flat-Chested Cat Twin-Tail to follow…”

“You looking for a fight, huh!? I’ll take you on!!”

Meimei blew up at being called flat-chested and lunged at Zona, but Silesta caught her in a full hold and pinned her down.

“Shhhhaaa!!” Meimei hissed like an angry cat, but Zona ignored her completely and went on.

“Normally, unless there’s an all-out war, brand-new weapons don’t trickle down to the rank-and-file. They’re reserved for the royal guard or the elite units defending the capital.”

“…So, what does that mean exactly?”

“In short, the weapons carried by those lowly soldiers were most likely the old models.”

Right.

If that was the case, then the Ixion Kingdom’s capital might already have even more advanced versions of these “guns.”

Stronger firepower? Rapid fire? Easier handling?

I had no idea what the improvement was, but if those weapons could actually harm a hero, then…

Once they had enough of them, it’d be a real threat.

“That’s exactly why I want to protect the girl. She might know the weaknesses of these guns.”

“But mister, that girl hasn’t woken up yet, right?”

I nodded at Silesta’s point.

For some reason, ever since arriving at the village and giving her name, Shizukuishi hadn’t opened her eyes once.

The cause was unknown.

At first, the beastmen looking after her thought she was simply resting from exhaustion. But as days passed without her waking, their worry only grew.

So—

“I summoned the Hero of [Analysis], Raishis, from the abyss.”

“Ugh. I was in the middle of analyzing the teleportation magic circle when I suddenly got dragged here. I’m in a really bad mood right now. If this turns out to be something stupid, I’ll kill you. Starting with you, leader.”

“S-Sorry!”

Thanks to Zona, we brought back from the abyss a young hero wearing a hood of abyss-wolf fur, pulled low to conceal the lower half of his face.

His name was Raishis.

He possessed a rather unusual ability: [Analysis], which allowed him to visualize and decipher the information of whatever he targeted.

Before we defeated the Wicked Dragon, he had worked tirelessly to unravel the magic that sealed us inside the Great Pit. Lately, he had been focused on analyzing teleportation circles.

If anyone could figure out why the girl wasn’t waking up, it would be him!!

Without delay, Raishis began using [Analysis] on her.

“…Hmm.”

“Did you find anything?”

“Poison.”

“Poison…? Wait—poison!?”

His answer made me flinch, but Raishis only shrugged.

“It’s a type that doesn’t take effect immediately. After enough time passes, it puts the victim to sleep, gradually drains their stamina, and eventually kills them through exhaustion.”

“W-Why would she be made to drink something like that…?”

“No idea. Maybe before she escaped the Kingdom, some big shot slipped it to her in secret—worried she might spill information.”

Ugh, damn it. If it was the Ixion Kingdom, I could totally see them doing that!!

I glanced at the girl’s pale face, then quickly asked Raishis how to cure the poison.

“Um… how can we remove the poison?”

“…Leader. Looks like you’re misunderstanding something, so I’ll say it now—I’m not a doctor.”

“Ah, r-right. Sorry.”

“Well, with my [Analysis], I can figure out how to remove the poison though.”

“Eh, you can!?”

“There’s nothing I can’t figure out.”

Then what was that whole “I’m not a doctor” speech for!?

“However… even if I know the method, treatment is impossible.”

“Huh?”

“The herb required to neutralize this poison went extinct ages ago.”

“N-No way!!”

So even if we knew the cure, without the key ingredient it was meaningless.

Did that mean we could only sit back and watch the girl slowly waste away in her sleep?

At that moment, Silesta suddenly raised her hand.

“Mister, I’ve got a brilliant idea. With my method, Shizukuishi’s poison will be completely gone.”

“Y-You do!?”

“Oh? Interesting. Hero of [Blade], what is this method?”

“Mm. First, like this.”

““““Eh!?””””

The very next instant, Silesta used [Blade] to slice Shizukuishi clean in two—head and body separated.

The act was so sudden, so absurdly murderous, that me, Raishis, Meimei, and even Zona all froze on the spot.

“W-W-W-What the hell are you doingggg!?”

“Y-You fool! Have you lost your mind!?”

“Y-You!! I always knew you’d pull something crazy one day, but to do it so casually!?”

“What a peaceful sleeping face… well, she’s dead now. This isekai ponytail girl.”

As we all rushed Silesta, she brushed it off with a straight face.

“Now mister just needs to use [Resurrection]. That’ll nullify the poison.”

““““Ah, I see.””””

Only after she explained it did we finally understand her reasoning—and felt relieved…

Yeah, no way.

We all scolded Silesta for suddenly going full psycho.

“Ethics!! Silesta, you need ethics!!”

“You must relearn the basics of human decency!!”

“There are better ways to handle this!!”

“Hmm. I suppose I should change your title from ‘Silver-Haired Perverted Tomboy’ to ‘Silver-Haired Psycho Perverted Tomboy.’”

“…Unacceptable.”

After that, I performed [Resurrection] on Shizukuishi.

Honestly, as a method to cure a poison with no antidote, Silesta’s move was a perfect 100 out of 100.

But still—how the hell were we supposed to react to that!?

“Mm… where… am I…?”

Shizukuishi slowly opened her eyes and looked at me.

Her beautiful jet-black eyes stared blankly into mine—then drifted shut again.

And the girl whispered a single word.

“…Haa. For a handsome guy exactly my type to even show up in my dreams… guess I must be really pent-up. Haven’t even had the chance to finger myself lately…”

“Uh, um…”

“Wow, up close your face is even better… I wouldn’t mind if you just pushed me down and took me right here.”

“Uh, no—this is reality, actually.”

“…Eh?”

Shizukuishi’s face went bright red, and in the faintest, most trembling voice, she whispered:

“Please… let me commit seppuku.”

“Mm. I’ll serve as second.”

“W-W-W-W hold on!! Silesta, don’t just agree so casually!!”

“It’s fine, mister. I heard this is the custom in Far Eastern countries.”

I somehow managed to stop Shizukuishi from gutting herself and Silesta from chopping her head off again.

Once she regained her composure, Shizukuishi bowed deeply.

“Thank you so much for waking me. Truly, I don’t even know how to express my gratitude…”

“No need to worry about that, Lusty Isekai Ponytail. What matters is that our King has some questions for you.”

“L-Lusty Isekai Ponytail? That’s… me? Uh, well… ask me anything.”

And so, I began questioning Shizukuishi about what had happened in the Ixion Kingdom.

[Afterword]

A Random Tidbit

Author: “A normally dignified, black-haired ponytail beauty with her head full of lewd thoughts? That gap is insanely erotic. And if she’s a masochist on top of that—absolute perfection.”

If Shizukuishi made you go “Eh!?” then toss a ★★★ my way!
