Hero Ray and TS Girl Almeia and Fallen TS Girl Female Samurai

---

"Haa, I said it..."

I sighed as I looked out the window from my bed in my room.

At last, at very last, I said it.　

"Almeia..."

Many years have passed since I was born into this world.

After my hometown was destroyed by the Demon King, I took up the sword for revenge and was chosen as a hero.

I meet my friends and the final battle with the Demon King is fast approaching.

Today, I, the Hero, Ray Delta, finally confessed my true feelings to my beloved Almeia.　

"...This may be the end. I must make sure I have no regrets."

With the Demon King's top executives defeated, the only formidable enemy remaining is the Demon King himself.

Maybe confessing something like that before the final battle shouldn't happen.

However, there was a good chance that one of us would die in the upcoming battle. I didn't want to say goodbye for the rest of my life without being able to convey my feelings.

That's why I told her how I felt, even if it meant causing her trouble.　

"Almeia, I love you so much. I can't think of anyone else but you."

I gently stroked the bandages that were wrapped around my body. They were also wrapped by her.

At first, I thought she was just the daughter of an unpleasant nobleman, or a fly seeking the hero's favor.

But as I fought with her behind my back and she devotedly support me, I found myself falling in love with her.　

"I don't care if the answer to this confession isn't yes. I just want to be able to convey my feelings."

In reality, I should not have any lust for my comrades, as this is unnecessary for achieving my revenge and may even hinder my goal.

"Haha, this is the end of my journey, so maybe I'm being a little naive."

But I can't help but hold onto her.

I want to be with her forever, even after the journey is over.

I don't want to say goodbye when this journey is over.

"...No matter what the answer to my confession is, I have to move on."

Oh, even though I said it was okay if she rejected me, deep down in my heart I wanted her so much, I'm just greedy to the max.

But it's okay. I've lived my whole life for revenge and given up everything. I don't think I'll be punished if I want a little something in return.

"...Almeia."

"...Ah, so that was her name..."

"Huh?!"

The moment I muttered her name, I heard a voice coming from inside the room, where no one else should have been except me.　

"Who is it...ugh"

"…………"　

I reflexively tried to grab the sword that was placed near the bed.　

But the next moment, I noticed something strange about my body.　

"Ugh...fuh..."

Something strange happened, I couldn't move my body at all.

I can't move even a millimeter, from my head to the tips of my toes.

It's like a frog being stared at by a snake.　

"...Don't push yourself."

"Wha--……ugh!!"　

As I collapsed on the bed, someone who seemed to be the owner of the mysterious voice looked at me.　

"You...ahh...ugh."

The face of the woman peering in was a type of woman I had never seen before.　

"...umm...calm down, boy."　

She was clad in black robes, had long jet black hair, and eyes blacker than the abyss.

Her face is shockingly beautiful, its golden proportions as if it had been created by a renowned artist over the course of their life.

At a glance, I can tell she is no ordinary person.　

"It'll be over soon."

"…………"

But she is more terrifying than she looks.　

It's the intimidating presence she exudes.　

It was so violent that it gave the illusion of having mass, making it clear that there was no way to win.

Compared to her, the difference in our status as living beings was so overwhelming that the intimidation of the Demon King we had faced before seemed like the intimidation of a child.

"... Once I've done what I want to do... I'll be right back."

"…………"

Without a doubt, she is even higher than a Demon King, something like an evil god or a goddess herself.

But this dark, intimidating presence that is so strong it can almost be seen with the naked eye...it is not that of a goddess.

That means... she's an evil god or something similar.

In other words, she is the worst enemy who will lead this world into chaos.　

"What is your purpose...?"

"Hm... Purpose, hm purpose... Ah yeah...."　

I glared at her, somehow managing to keep my spirits up despite feeling like I was about to collapse.

But she smiled, not paying any attention to my glare.

"I just want to see the scene I desire. That's it."

"A desired... scene?"

"Yes……"

Saying this, the mysterious woman who appears to be an evil god slowly reaches out her hand towards me.　

"…………"

I try to resist somehow, but my body won't move.

It's no use. No matter how much I resists in my mind, my body has already given in to the woman in front of me.

My body doesn't approve of me acting on my own in front of the woman in front of me.

What a presence? What a living creature?

This is just the evil god itself. This is the evil god who will lead the world into chaos.

No good. I can't win this.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh...!"

"…………"

But still.　

I am a Hero.　

I must not give in to my opponents here.　

"You can't do it, it's better not to..."

"Ugh...ugh...!"

With determination, I move both of my arms, which refuse to move.

It certainly started with a desire for revenge against the Demon King.

However, as I continued my journey, I began to feel that I had to save the world as a Hero.

The scene the woman in front of me wanted.

A scene desired by an evil god. It's easy to imagine.

The scene in question must be one of chaos and fear.

If I were to succumb to this being now, that world might actually come true.

As a hero, I cannot allow something like that.　

"I'm... a Hero...!"

"Ah, yeah, I know that..."

I, the Hero, must defeat this being here and now.

If I don't do that, there's no point in defeating the Demon King.

I no longer have a family to protect, nor hometown to return to.

But...

Still, I will protect this world where the people I love live.

That is my mission.　

"Here goes... Evil God...!"

"Eh?... Evil god...?"

I picked up my beloved sword that was placed next to the bed.

My body hurts. Every time I move, it screams.

But I can't back down here.

I don't know why an evil god suddenly appeared before me.

But I have to kill this being now. Absolutely.

"Umm... well, I don't really mind."

"Woohoo!"

Grab my sword and charge at the evil god.

I'll put everything I've got into this first blow...!　　

"Take that────"　

The moment I was about to swing my sword at the evil god.　

"Wait!"

The door to the room slammed open.　

"Are you okay, Ray?"

"Al-Almeia!"

"…………"

Behind the door was the woman I fell in love with.

She was a female swordsman, Almeia, a member of my party.

"Phew, you're still safe, Ray."

"Don't come here! Get away quickly!"

I instinctively raised my voice. No good, she shouldn't be here now.

Before me stands an evil god even more terrifying than the Demon King. If she were to turn her fangs towards Almeia, I would not be able to live any longer.

Please run away quickly. I don't want to lose you.

"I'll hold her off, so run away while I do so!"

"Ah... well..."

"...It's okay. That person won't harm me...I think."

However, contrary to my expectations, Almeia slowly entered the room.　

"Ray, I'm sorry. It's my fault that this person came here."

"Eh……?"

"Can you please return to your own world right now? Please."

As soon as Almeia entered the room, she bowed to the evil god.

"…………"

The mysterious woman who appears to be an evil god doesn't seem confused by her actions.

What, do you two know each other?　

No, there was no such monster in Almeia's circle of friends as far as I know.

So what is it with these two?

"I apologize if I made you angry. I am the one who caused you to become angry. If that doesn't calm you down, then kill me instead of him."

"Almeia?!"

"…………"

While I was confused, Almeia suddenly blurted out something unbelievable.

What is she talking about? Why is she suddenly being killed instead of me?

"So please spare Ray. He's a necessary presence for this world."

"…………"

"N-No! Hey evil god, don't you dare lay a hand on her!"

Before I knew it, I had slipped my body between her and the evil god.　

I don't care what happens to me. There's no one left who cares about me anyway, so no one would be sad if I died.

But Almeia is out of the question. If she dies, many people will be sad.

"Wait, Ray, you still have to live. You already come this far--"

"It's fine! No one would be sad if I died. I no longer have my parents, hometown, or friends waiting for me anyway."

"Ray...."

"Umm...that's..."

"But..."

I turned to Almeia and forced a smile.

This might be the end, so I have to look cool at the end.

To keep her alive.　

"If Almeia dies, there will be many people who will be sad. So you must not die. You still have to live."

"…………"

"If I die, the next Hero will be born soon. That person will defeat the Demon King. So what I have to do is--"

"Ray!"

That was when it happened.

It happened just as I was about to say goodbye to her.　

"...Hmm."

"...!?!?!?"

"...Wow."

Her lips and my lips touched.　

"...Phew, to think that my first kiss would be wasted in a place like this. But, surprisingly..."

"Ah... Al-Al-Alme-Almeia?!"

"What?"

"Wh-why, all of a sudden, like this?"　

The sudden event clouded my thoughts.

Um, I, what exactly am I doing right now?　

Right now, I want to kiss Almeia.　

"...Until now, I was thinking about how to respond to Ray's confession."

"Uh, yeah."

"At first, I thought about refusing. There was something I couldn't tell you about."

"Uh, uh, yeah."

My face is flushed.　

I can't organize my thoughts.

Even though there is a terrifying evil god in front of me, my brain is currently busy processing what just happened.　

"But then something happened. It looked like Ray might die."

"Uh, yeah?"

"At that moment, I felt like my heart was going to burst. I was overcome with such anxiety that I couldn't believe my own feelings."

"Uh, yeah...."

What on earth is she talking about?　

I don't know, but I feel like I shouldn't interrupt.　

"... Gulp."

The evil god seemed to sense the atmosphere, as she watched silently with both hands clenched into fists.

It seems that the atmosphere created by Almeia can even bring evil god under control.

"And then I realized, I was in love with you, Ray."

"…….........Eh?"

"This may not be the time to say this, but I'll say it. I've probably liked you for a long time now."

"Um, wait a minute, ummm!!"

Wait, what did Almeia just say?　　

Love? What? Who? Almeia? To who? Me?　

……Hah?　　

"…………"

"…………"

There is silence between us.　

Her face is bright red as she stares at me.

My face, facing her, was probably bright red as well.

"An answer to your confession!"

"Y-yes!"　

Unable to bear the silence any longer, Almeia raised her voice.

Her face is still bright red.　

"Uh... Is ... Is this....enough?"

"Y-yes, it's fine."

Almeia mutters while looking down. She's so cute.

...That's not it. Okay, let's organize it.

In other words, Almeia and I were in love with each other.　

Um, yeah, really?　

Isn't this a dream?　　

"So, um, I'd be sad if Ray died. I don't want you to die. Don't say there's no one who would be sad. Ray is very important to me and the other two in the party."

"Y-Yes."

Almeia stares at me with her face bright red.　

Not knowing what to do, I just stared back at Almeia with my face bright red.　

"…………"

"…………"　

Silence surrounds us.　

Damn, I don't know what to say at a time like this.

"…………"

"…………"

"...Pfftt, Ahahahahahaha!"

"!!"

Our silence was suddenly broken by the sound of laughter.　

"Hmm, yeah, yeah, perfect!"

The source of that laughter was the evil god who appeared before us.

When I turned my gaze towards her, she was nodding repeatedly with a satisfied look on her face for some reason.　

"Um, well, Hero-san."

"...What is it?"

Damn, I'd forgotten about this being's existence.　

I was distracted by my interactions with Almeia, but now that I think about it, the situation hasn't improved at all.

The fact remains that we have to do something about this being.

Look, she is going to attack us any second now...　

"...Well done."

"...?"

The next action the evil god took towards us.

For some reason, it was a thumbs up gesture.　

"……Eh?"

"I've seen what I wanted to see, so I'm heading home. Almeia-san, if defeating the Demon King proves difficult, please let me know. I'll come and help if I can."

"Ah, yes, thank you."

"Well then."　

The evil god waves her hand towards me. Her dark, intimidating presence remains the same, but she doesn't seem to have any hostility.

So what was she doing here? Who was she after all?　

"********"

"Ah."

While I was racking my brains, the woman who seemed to be an evil god said something, opened the window of the inn, and jumped out.

"Hey, wait!"

I panicked and ran to the window.　

However, when I looked out the window, there was no sign of the woman.　

"...Who was she?"

"Uh... well, what I can say is that I don't think she'll harm us in the future."

It's like after a storm has passed.

The only ones left in the room were me, with a red face, and Almeia, who was equally red.

Some time has passed since the mysterious woman attacked me, and I have had the opportunity to think deeply about her.

The conclusion reached was:

That she might be a messenger of God or something.

The intimidating aura emanating from her body was exactly that of an evil god, so I decided she was an evil god and tried to attack her.

But when I thought about it, the most she had done was intimidate me so much that I couldn't move.

Nothing else had been done.　

So, I thought.

I thought she was like an angel sent by God to correct me, who had become self-centered and driven by revenge, or maybe she was God herself.

Self-sacrifice is not courage, and I have important friends who care about me.

She was an incarnation of God who had appeared to make me realize this.　

If you think about it that way, it all makes sense.

She suddenly appeared before the final battle against the Demon King, then disappeared without doing anything.

There is an explanation for them.　　

"...Ray. We've finally come this far."

"That's right, Almeia. We've finally come this far."

Thanks to her, I learned the importance of friends and that you can't live alone.

─The last words she said before she disappeared.

It was so quiet I couldn't hear it very well, but I think I understand now.

Those were probably words of encouragement for us.

A cheer for us as we have taken a step forward as heroes, or rather, as a party of heroes.

I'm sure that's the case.　

"All that's left now is to defeat the Demon King. Let's go, Lulu, Valenta, and Almeia."

"Yes."

"…………"

"Roger that"　

Are you watching?　

I realized this thanks to you.

The importance of friends.

That we all fight together.

And...it's not about protecting the people you love, it's about trusting them and leaving my back to them.

"Let's save the world!"

"""Ohh!"""

Please watch.　

We will defeat the Demon King, swearing to remember the important thing you made us realize.

"...Almeia."

"Wh-what?"

"When this is over."

"...We'll talk about that later."

"Yeah"

With loved ones and trusted friends.

A strong style of writing only the climax of the story. Probably not a good idea.

By the way, after this, they successfully defeated the Demon King and lived happily ever after. Happily ever after....

The other two in the party who were in love with the Hero were...well....they become yuri, the end.

As a side note, the Fallen TS Girl Female Samurai was just nervous the whole exchange between Hero and Almeia that she can only be silent.
