Chapter 10 Demon Lord and Hero, Kageyo and Isumi
What’s going on here?
What in the world is this!?
Before me, there was undoubtedly Demon Lord Benes and Hero Shirene.
But that’s impossible.
Demon Lord Benes and Hero Shirene are dead.
Dead and reincarnated into this world as Kageyo Kamiya and Isumi Kamiya.
This fact, more than anyone else, we know all too well.
This makes no sense. What on earth is happening?
The sudden appearance of the Hero and the Demon Lord seemed to startle the three Cerberus as well.
Rather than lunging, they stared at the two with caution.
With Cerberus still on guard, Demon Lord Benes cautiously approached me and Isumi, who were incapacitated and unable to move.
“I’m sorry. I’d like to use healing magic right away, but dealing with those guys comes first,” apologized Demon Lord Benes. However, his tone sounded strangely akin to that of a young boy. At that moment, Isumi, who seemed to have regained consciousness without anyone noticing, spoke in a faint voice.
“Who are you people?”
“We’d like to explain, but… first, we need to defeat the Cerberus.”
Demon Lord Benes said this and locked eyes with the Cerberus.
Hero Shirene raised a warning voice.
“They’re coming.”
“Yeah, I know. We can’t just let them run rampant in this world, can we?”
“Of course not.”
And so, the battle of the Demon Lord & Hero duo against the trio of Cerberus began.
The battle ended in the blink of an eye.
The power of Demon Lord Benes and Hero Shirene was overwhelming.
Within a minute of the battle’s commencement, the Demon Lord’s sword had severed all heads of the first Cerberus.
Two minutes in, the Hero had carved up the second Cerberus’s body, and another thirty seconds later, the remaining one was incinerated by the two’s combined magic.
And with that, the battle was over.
Hero Shirene spoke with a relieved expression.
“Phew, is this all there is?” Demon Lord Benes nodded in agreement.
“Indeed. But monsters appearing in our world… it’s quite unexpected.”
“Is this really Japan? We really managed to come back, right?”
‘Came back’?
Could it be… but is such a thing even possible?
Demon Lord Benes answered Hero Shirene’s question.
“Yeah, without a doubt. I believe this is the outskirts of Setagaya District, in a run-down factory.”
So it really is as we suspected?
Back then, half a year ago, it wasn’t just us who got reincarnated into another world…
Hero Shirene turned to Demon Lord Benes with a slightly exasperated expression.
“You really know it that well.”
The true identity of these two…
“When we moved, Sora kun and I explored together. We were planning to make a secret base.”
There’s no doubt about it now.
“Isn’t that considered trespassing?”
These two…
“More importantly, we need to help the real Demon Lord and Hero.”
These two are indeed…
“Exactly.”
Demon Lord Benes extended his hand towards me, while Hero Shirene reached out to Isumi.
Both of them simultaneously cast a spell.
“『Mega Healing: Greater Restoration Magic』”
Our wounds began to rapidly heal.
I slowly got to my feet.
Then, I extended my right hand towards the figure who resembled Demon Lord Benes.
“Hello. Nice to meet you… I hope that’s appropriate. Kageyo Kamiya and Isumi Kamiya.”
He smiled warmly and returned the grip of my right hand.
“Yes, nice to meet you. The real Demon Lord Benes. And also, Hero Shirene.”
On the other hand, Isumi spoke with a bewildered expression.
“What… What is this? What in the world is happening? Why am I here with the Demon Lord!?”
It seemed she hadn’t fully grasped the situation yet.
I proceeded to explain to her.
“They are, in fact, the real Kageyo Kamiya and Isumi Kamiya.”
“What!? I don’t understand… No, could it be, such a thing… at the time of our reincarnation, weren’t we the only ones!?”
Finally, she seemed to understand.
Yes.
Half a year ago, it wasn’t just the souls of Demon Lord Benes and Hero Shirene that were reincarnated.
Hero Shirene… Isumi Kamiya in Shirene’s form, nodded.
“Yes. We… Isumi Kamiya and Kageyo Kamiya, were also reincarnated. None other than as Demon Lord Benes and Hero Shirene.”
Unbelievable.
Were we literally swapped as twins?
With a wry smile, Kageyo Kamiya in Demon Lord Benes form spoke.
“At first, it was quite a shock. I mean, who would’ve thought I’d get reincarnated into a world like something out of Dragon Quest and become the Demon Lord? And to top it off, Isumi becomes the Hero.”
“Well, at first, it was fun, you know? The idea of the Hero and the Demon Lord teaming up to bring peace to the world through adventure. But eventually, Kageyo started getting homesick. He’d cry every night, wishing he could go back to Japan in his Demon Lord form. To be honest, it was a bit weird.”
It’s true, being cried to sleep by a Demon Lord who’s over sixty years old might indeed be a bit weird.
“What are you talking about? Isumi said she wanted to go back to Japan too.”
“I didn’t cry about it.”
“Come on, don’t lie. I know you secretly cried about it.”
“But unlike Kageyo, I didn’t cry in front of everyone.”
Hmm. It’s kind of awkward and embarrassing to see a sixty-year-old Demon Lord and a sixteen-year-old Hero having a childish argument like this.
It’s a bit unsettling, to say the least.
“So, here’s the thing. We’ve been looking for a way to return to Japan.”
And so, our exchange of information with the twins began.
