Reincarnated Devil’s Strongest Hero Training Plan ~The baby he picked up has grown up so well that his father is confused~

Chapter 124   The best helper

A massive warrior descended from the sky with a thunderous “thud.”

He is the mentor and emotional anchor of the hero.

His name is────.

“Ga-Gaius…”

“Ah~! It’s Gaius~~!”

He was the super warrior Gaius… but hey, kid, read the room.

That line was supposed to be said by Ars.

You’re ruining the emotional scene I worked so hard to set up, seriously.

Anyway, hello everyone, I’m Kakyu.

Wow, we’ve finally started the thrilling classic storyline!

If you look up at the sky, you can see the fire dragon Ballus, who brought Gaius here, circling above. Since I threw him from quite a high altitude, the people of the imperial capital didn’t realize it was an attribute dragon.

By the way, I did throw him while adjusting his falling speed with gravity magic, so Gaius is unharmed.

If he had fallen from such a height without any measures, it wouldn’t have ended well. I made sure to take proper precautions.

That aside, the reason I recruited Gaius, who had left on his journey, at this particular time is both deep and rather simple.

Basically, it’s like this.

By bringing in someone who knows the circumstances of the black knight Jyoku as a guest and new member, I hoped that Ars and his companions would properly tackle the events prepared by me and the Demon King.

Without a guide, there’s no telling what an enraged Ars might do.

Even though he’s my son, and currently inexperienced, he possesses latent abilities that could potentially surpass even mine.

If such a genius driven by anger were to go on a rampage, it could lead to serious disasters.

Therefore, I somehow persuaded Gaius, who was traveling with Amanda, to lend us a hand.

“Why… why is Gaius here…?”

“Oh, I was just called upon by the master. Don’t worry about it.”

Even though he says not to worry, to be honest, I’m grateful to Gaius.

After he left on his journey, he built a house in a city on the southern continent with Amanda, and they even had a child together.

In other words, they became a married couple.

Amanda is still in the early stages of pregnancy, so she’s resting since traveling would be difficult.

I’m having them help out despite this precious newlywed time.

Even though Gaius was a former subordinate, I can’t help but be grateful.

Moreover, I’ve been asked to keep this a secret from Ars until the child is born, so I mustn’t say a word.

Additionally, while Gaius is away, my mini duplicate, Mini-Kakyu, is discreetly protecting Amanda.

This is only natural.

Borrowing this man’s strength during such a delicate period for her, I vow to protect her without a scratch.

If any trouble arises, and someone threatens Amanda, be it a demon or a noble, they’ll be sent to the afterlife.

This promise also includes the trust I have as a contracted demon.

There’s no way I’d ever break it.

On a side note, Elsa and I still don’t have children.

Elsa, who drains me every day, found this strange, but since I’m not human, it can’t be helped.

If Elsa truly desires it, it’s not impossible, but that would have to wait until Ars is properly raised.

Both she and I consider Ars our real son, and that won’t change.

We don’t want to be irresponsible.

Besides, as a long-lived Dark Elf and an immortal demon, we have all the time in the world.

“It’s been a long time, Gaius. You made quite an entrance this time. As a knight of this country, I should arrest you for entering the lady’s chamber without permission, but…”

“Oh? You want to duel, Sword Saint? I haven’t had a good fight in a while. How about a little sparring?”

Oh?

Oh?

Is this going to happen?

…No, it won’t.

Peering into their hearts from above with Devil Eye, I sense no fighting spirit or murderous intent from Ein.

He’s probably planning to use some clever excuse to let Gaius go.

“…No, I’ll pass. We’re in a state of emergency. We need to prepare for the black knight’s appearance, and I can’t afford any more exhaustion. Using my authority as deputy leader, I’ll officially invite you here.”

So that’s how it is.

Impressive. As expected of my son’s friend.

Isha also seems to agree with Ein’s opinion, nodding vigorously.

I’m glad these kids are so understanding.

Ein is five years older, but Isha is only fourteen.

It’s commendable that she understands so much at her age.

Even with her saintly qualities, it’s remarkable.

“We were expecting reinforcements from the beginning. If the hero had charged in like that, I feel like we would have been wiped out for sure. My elite intuition tells me that things have changed now!”

Is it okay to praise me?

Chibisuke thrust her head out in a somewhat playful manner towards Gaius.

Th-this kid knows exactly who to flatter to get head pats!

Her intuition is still ridiculously sharp as ever.

In a way, Chibisuke is probably the trickiest one among them.

Especially when it comes to introducing uncertainties into the events planned by me and the old man group of the Demon King.

As expected, Gaius is happily patting Chibisuke’s head, falling completely into Mermel’s trap. Nicely done…

Oh!

When no one is looking, she’s aiming for it just like in the plan, laughing with a triumphant expression!

She’s too cunning!

Chibisuke, you’re terrifying!
