Extra End

As Expected, TS Hero Cannot Resist the Charm

The easternmost point of the Yggdrasil continent, the place called Jotunheim, is the demon territory.

The Demon King Thrium, who plotted to conquer the world, was defeated by a hero who came from another world.

Countless swords of light stand in the ruins of the Demon King's castle. Only a few know that these are holy swords, but those who visit this place are left breathless by the mystical sight.

Hero Yuu

An abnormal situation occurs in which veteran demons are killed one after another. The Hero's party is present. But the Hero is nowhere to be found. There is no sound, no shadow. The Hero's identity is unknown as he disappears, leaving only corpses and the trace of his holy sword behind. The tragedy continues to unfold. An indescribable fear grips the demons. The Demon King's castle collapses, and with their king gone, the demons surrender unconditionally.

Not only the demons, but many humans too are unaware of the Hero's appearance.

Apparently, he defeated the Goblin King on his first battle.

It is said that he annihilated tens of thousands of monsters that attacked the city.

It is said that he trampled on demons who were crying and begging for forgiveness on the battlefield.

It is said that he defeated the Four Heavenly Kings with just his gaze.

The worst part is the devastation at the Demon King's castle.

A handsome young man with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. A muscular old man. A beautiful woman like a goddess. An inhuman monster. The rumors have been exaggerated, making the person's image unclear. Little did they know that the little girl who was trailing behind the Saint was in fact the Hero.

She should have appeared in the victory parade, but for some reason she was not recognized.

As an aside, the ruins of the Demon King's castle are known as a tourist attraction in Jotunheim, and the income from that is providing a foothold for reconstruction. There is no end to those who want to get their hands on the light sword, but because the surrounding dimensions are distorted, it seems that if you get too close, you will fall into the dimensional gap.

One year has passed since the Demon King was defeated.

The Hero was relaxing.

◇ ◇ ◇

The kingdom of Midgard, royal capital of Folkvang.

A small private house built close to the central church.

"Hyuuu...... hyuuu......"

A young girl with long black hair tied up in a loose bun is breathing heavily in her sleep.

"Ufufu..."

Gazing at the young girl with a mysterious smile is a woman known as the Saint.

With long, fluffy, wavy platinum blonde hair and deep purple eyes like amethyst, her beautiful features could be likened to those of a goddess, but she was relaxed and sloppy.

Squishy

"Squish..."

She doesn't wake up even when I poke her on the cheek.

"Yuu-chan is cute today too!"

With one fluid movement, the saint slipped into the bed where the little girl was sleeping.

She then pressed the little girl's face against her chest and held her there.

"Mugyu... uh"

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three--

The little girl began to struggle.

"(I can't breathe!?)"

Her arms and legs flailed about for a while, but then it stopped moving completely.

Worried by the sudden relaxation of the young girl's body, the saint loosened her arms and looked into her face.

My eyes met with a young girl who looked up at me with teary eyes and a resentful look on her face.

"Good morning, Yuu-chan."

"...Good morning, Lilia."

After defeating the Demon King, Yuu lost her heroic powers. She can still use her signature hallucination magic, but her physical abilities are those of a little girl. She has given up on resisting.

•

"The King is calling?"

Yuu, who was chewing a thin bun topped with bacon and a fried egg, stopped eating and tilted her head.

"He always try to call you for something, but this time it seems like there's something important to talk with you."

"(The royal castle, huh)"

Yuu was clearly giving off an unpleasant vibe.

It's not that she dislike the king. He's a nice old man who gives her pocket money. She also grateful to her for adopting her when she couldn't return to her original world. she do feel a bit hesitant to go up to the castle when she have no business there, but there's no reason to hesitate when she was summoned.

"His Highness Akamars isn't there, is he...?"

Yuu is concerned about the prince, not the king.

He has gently wavy blonde hair and ice blue eyes. Though he still has a youthful look, he is a handsome boy with well-proportioned features. He is a student in the middle school division of the Royal Urzabrunn Academy and currently lives in the dormitory.

Yuu and Akamars met for the first time at the royal castle after defeating the Demon King. It was not an intended encounter, and Yuu had no idea that Akamars even existed. The prince proposed to her right away, and he boasted that she would be his concubine.

She was depressed as she recalled the pressure she felt until his mother, Clarice, stepped in to stop him.

"That was careless of me. I will make sure not to leave your side, so there is no need to worry."

I look at her gently.

"(Lilia is unfair. She often jokes around, but she always helps me out when I'm in real danger. Though she's often just joking around.)"

Yuu looked down a little and resumed his breakfast.

•

•

Royal castle, common room.

"Welcome, Yuu!"

The king welcomed Yu with open arms.

"Greetings, King."

Yuu peeks out from behind Lilia.

"(It's the usual King. I wonder what business he has. I have a strange feeling of unease.)"

Yuu was on guard.

"How are you? Can you come a little closer and show me your face?"

Unable to refuse, Yuu approached the king.

The king crouched down to meet Yuu's eye level.

"Now, I'll give you some pocket money."

The king handed Yu a small bag containing copper coins.

"Thank you, King."

Yuu smiled like a blooming flower.

Yuu has no money problems. She can live off the reward money she receives for defeating the Demon King.

The king had previously tried to hand over some gold coins to Yuu, but when Yu heard what they contained, she stubbornly refused. I intervened to persuade the astonished king.

"Your Majesty, I think she will accept the copper coins."

In that case, he prepared some copper coins, put them in a small pouch and handed them over.

"Thank you, King."

Yuu was happy with the thoughtfulness of the clumsy king.

The connection between the King and Yuu. The meeting ceremony.

"Guh"

The king crouched and writhed in agony clutching his chest.

Lilia watched the scene for a while.

"King? What's wrong? King..." The maid standing nearby looked at him with lukewarm eyes as Yuu panicked and checking his condition. "King, are you in pain?" The little girl rubbed his back while the king crouched and trembled.

I wonder what was the matter heh?

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied?"

"...Hmm. I enjoyed it."

The king rose as if nothing had happened and invited Yuu and me to take our seats. As soon as we sat down, the maids prepared tea.

"Let me get straight to the point. Yuu, do you have any plans to attend school?"

"Absolutely no"

Yuu is usually expressionless, but she answered immediately in an emotionless voice.

It seemed as if the light had disappeared from her eyes.

"(That's impossible! The charm will leak out and cause a catastrophe!!)"

There is a story behind why she didn't want to go to school and went ahead with the demon lord subjugation. At the time, it was just a vague feeling of unease, but now she is certain.

"(This charm also affects women...)"

The scene from the goblin's den flashed through Yuu's mind.

"(What can I do now that I've lost my heroic powers?)"

Yuu looked at her trembling hands.

Shortly after the start of their journey, they came across an area that was facing a threat comparable to that of the demons. Goblin attacks were occurring one after another, and the number of abandoned villages was increasing.

The hero party, which had just added the sage Fecily to their group, had accepted a request to gain combat experience.

"Hero-sama, are you sure you're okay?"

The one who asked Yuu, who was being led by Lilia's hand, was Sword Princess Irene.

"No problem."

Yuu replied in a calm tone.

"(The hero's power is definitely cheating. I may look like this, but my physical abilities are incomparable to before. I have magic and a holy sword. I can easily handle goblins, and won't lose even if they attack in groups.)"

The timid behavior she had seen in the village was not there.

Although she has no expression, the young girl is somehow filled with confidence, and she am astonished.

Still, a little girl is a little girl.

"Please don't push yourself too hard. We are here to protect you, Hero-sama..."

Even Yuu could tell at a glance that Irene was pushing herself too hard.

"(Even though she's called the Sword Princess, she was just a villager until recently. I don't know what her potential is, but it shouldn't be as strong as my current abilities. I'll show you the power I've honed by hunting monsters night after night!)"

For Yuu, charm is a bad status. When facing monsters, she doesn't need to worry about it, and she's always confident.

After finding the goblin's base, the Hero party returned to the village and prepared to launch an attack.

"(There are people who are still suffering. I can help them.)"

The Hero party returned to the village and camped for the night.

Yuu escapes alone and runs through the forest at night.

She mowed down the goblins on guard and charged into the goblin den alone.

Pulled out from the subspace, the glow of the holy sword in her hand becomes a guidepost illuminating the darkness.

Yuu deliberately let magical power flow into the holy sword at varying speeds, causing it to flicker randomly.

"(This darkness and the irregular light source. If I prevent my eyes from adapting, the darkness will become even darker. Should I discard my unreliable vision? It will only make it easier to hallucinate other senses, so either way is fine.)"

The goblins were being massacred without any understanding of why. Yuu even had time to avoid the blood splattering up.

Following the guidance of the holy sword, Yuu sprinted and arrived at a hall-like hollow. A bonfire was burning, ensuring good visibility.

There was a goblin with a different fur color. Its intelligent eyes were carefully watching her.

"Was that a flashy grin?"

"(He spoke!)"

"Is that a holy sword?"

"(That's right)"

"Is the rumor that a hero has been found true...?"

"(It seems so)"

"Are you the one?"

Yuu has been nodding vigorously for a while now.

Suddenly, a large magic circle appeared, covering the entire floor of the hall.

"I am the Goblin King. I am King Bel, ruler of the Goblins."

One after the other, goblins were summoned. Yuu didn't know it, but there were not only low-ranking goblins, but also high-ranking goblins such as shamans and generals.

Goblins filled the hall and surrounded Yuu.

"Tricks won't work anymore. You will be eliminated before you awaken as a true Hero."

Yu tilted his head sternly.

"But you're a goblin, right?"

Thud

The armed Goblin General swung his sword down at the frozen Yuu.

He had a vision of her body being cut in half lengthwise, and the bright red flesh of what was once a young girl crumbling apart.

The Goblin General's body shifted diagonally as he slammed his sword into the ground.

The head of a nearby goblin shaman was then blown off.

There's no time to blink.

It took less than ten seconds for all the goblins except the Goblin King to fall.

"What is this... what is this..."

The Goblin King muttered in shock as the holy sword pierced his chest.

"(This is a hero.)"

Leaving the dead Goblin King behind, Yuu went further inside.

She couldn't help but frown at the musty smell.

There were several women tied up, and they looked quite weak.

Yuu cut the ropes and then handed them the white sheets she had taken out of the subspace.

"(It's still late at night. There are probably still remnants out there. It might be dangerous to move around until it gets light.)"

She also takes out something that looks like hardened bread and a water bottle and hands them over.

At that moment, her eyes met with a girl who seemed to be the youngest of the captured women.

When she realize it, she found herself being pushed down by the girl.

She buried her face in Yuu's chest, her voice sobbing and her body trembling. Yuu stroked her head as if to comfort her.

The other women looks at the two of them with loving eyes.

This continued for a while, but gradually the girl's behavior began to become strange.

"Hmm... hmm..."

Her voice was strangely sensual. Her breathing was irregular, and she was squeezing Yuu's leg between her thighs and rubbing it against her.

Yuu hastily grabbed the girl by both shoulders and pulled her away.

The girl was straddling Yuu's stomach, looking down at her with glazed eyes and a feverish expression.

Shivers

Yuu's charm has a tremendous effect on the woman's maternal instincts. The fear she had felt just moments before and the maternal instincts brought out by Yu's charm create a powerful "suspension bridge effect," causing her to become confused. She confuses affection with love.

"(Eeek!?)"

Yuu's first experience of fear was in the goblin's den.

A girl laughing mysteriously in a dimly lit cave. No matter how you look at it, she is not in her right mind.

Yuu picked up the girl and left her in the care of another woman. "Wait for me," she said, and ran to the entrance of the den. She didn't really understand what was going on. Her persistent gaze made her feel like she was in danger.

Once he could see the view outside, Yuu leaned her back against the wall and slumped down to sit down.

"(Is this the effect of the charm? If this is really a charm, then I can't trust anyone. Lilia, Irene, Fecily. I wonder if they will attack me one day too.)"

She hug her knees and bury her face in them.

The night was still long, and in the distance, the cries of goblins could be heard.

They wonder how much time had passed. It was getting dark.

"Hero-sama!"

Irene's voice was heard.

A small figure stood at the entrance to the goblin's den.

Her long, disheveled black hair gave her a ghostly appearance.

"I defeated them all."

Yuu was smiling.

For the first time, Irene saw Yuu smile.

Goblin corpses were scattered everywhere. The area around Yuu was completely empty.

Irene ran up to Yuu and hugged her.

Yuu's body stiffens in shock.

"I also rescued the abducted woman. This completes the request. And I'm fine."

Yuu was more talkative than usual. They had only been traveling together for a short time, but she could tell.

"No, you are not."

Yuu's smile wasn't like the smile a small child would wear when they wanted praise. It was the kind that swallowed everything and pretended to be okay. This child was undoubtedly a Hero. She was incredibly strong in both body and mind. And yet, what worried Irene was her fragility, like she was about to break. There was no way a child with such a sad smile should exist.

"I... we are friends. I can't even imagine what difficulties await us in the future, but I believe that if we all share it together, we can overcome things that we wouldn't be able to endure alone."

Irene pulls away and meets Yu's gaze.

"I'm not telling you not to push yourself anymore. Instead, rely on me more, Yuu-chan."

"……Understood"

Yuu's usual expressionless face returned to that and that was all she replied.

After a while, Lilia and Fecily joined them. It seemed that Irene had already gotten ahead. Lilia admonished her, while Fesily pushed Yuu around.

"Is it okay if I call you Yuu-chan too? Is it okay?"

"Y-yes."

Her body still trembled a little, but Yuu remembered Irene's words and accepted it.

With Yuu as their guide, the hero party proceeds into the den. The scene at the entrance is so gruesome it seems child's play, and the smell of blood is enough to make you choke.

"Ah, there's the Goblin King," Lilia says lightly.

"There's a general and a shaman too! They could be a good catalyst!" says Fecily excitedly.

"(Yeah. Let's not worry about it.)" Irene and Yuu averted their eyes from reality.

Theyvtook the women who were at the back and returned to the village.

A small party was being held in the village. As Irene was drinking at the village chief's suggestion, she saw Yuu and a girl talking in the corner. She listened carefully and could only hear, "Please be my friend..."

After the party, they relax in the vacant house they rented.

Before going to bed, I wrote a letter to Dominic. Dominic's letter described the village, his recent updates, and ended with the words "I love you." It made me miss the ordinary everyday life with Dominic. I wrote about Yu-chan because I wanted Dominic to know how hard she had worked.

"(You definitely can't resist now, right? It's over! It's the end! Give up already you damn King!)"

Yu pretends to be calm, but inside she is struggling with all sorts of emotions.

"You'll make more friends if you go to school, right?"

"No need."

"(His Highness Akamars is also at the academy. Clarice-san said that there seems to be a dispute between his fiancée and the potential concubine! Any way you look at it, that is a dangerous area!!)"

"I'm worried about Yuu..."

"That's impossible."

It wasn't showing on her face, but Yuu wanted him to stop even if it meant kneeling down and begging. Her hips were slightly raised.

"I didn't know you'd dislike it that much, Yuu. If you change your mind, please let me know anytime. Even if you don't change your mind, you're more than welcome to come and play!"

"Thank you……"

Royal Urzabrunn Academy. To Yuu, it seemed like a supernatural realm overrun with demons and monsters that surpassed even the Demon King's Castle.

The more time they spend with her, the greater the risk of them becoming charmed. There's no way she can lead a normal school life.

Yuu reached out to Lilia and grabbed her hand under the desk.
