“I quit being a Hero.”... more>>

Leaving behind those words, I separated from my allies and began a life of retirement in a village in the middle of a mountain.

Separating myself from a life of fighting the demon lord, I had a rich life cultivating a field and intermingling with the villagers.

At the time my life finally began to stabilize, a woman came to visit.

“I am called the demon lord Isvel…geh, you! The Hero!?”

“The demon lord!?”

Before my eyes was my natural enemy, the demon lord. According to her story, she also seems to have come to retire.

Since then began the strange life of retirement of me and the demon lord.

“You’re not really putting your back into it are you?”

“Shut up! I’ve never worked in a farm!”

… I’ve been anxious about it from the beginning. <<less

"The fourth primogenitor" - That's the world's strongest vampire that should only exist in legends. Accompanied even by twelve Kenjuu and spreading calamity, this phantom vampire appeared in Japan.... more>>

For the observation and obliteration of this "fourth primogenitor", the government and Lion King decided to dispatch an attack mage referred as a "swords shaman". However, for some reason, the one chosen for the observation was an apprentice "swords shaman" girl, Himeragi Yukina.

The world revolves around me.... more>>

My name is Sakagami Kagura. I’m incredibly cute, unbelievably intelligent, and my manners are utterly flawless. No diamond in the world could compare to my illustrious beauty. You could say that I simply put the rest of the world to shame with both brains and beauty.

Regrettably, someone such as myself is beset by troubles at every turn, just as a ill-fated protagonist of a story might be. My tendency to attract such misfortune is perhaps my one and only flaw. Mournfully, I sigh, raising my chin slightly so as to better catch the illumination of the streetlights. Even sighing, I must look simply exquisite.

Then, I give the stuffed rabbit in my arms a squeeze and focus my gaze on the two individuals in front of me, the source of my most recent plight. One is a black-haired young woman, the kind that would be idiotic enough to walk the streets this time of night. The other is a quite literally wolf-faced man. Naturally, he has her cornered. A werewolf and his prey.

My duty is to exterminate such horrific, inhuman creatures before they can wreak havoc on human society — using puppets such as this little fellow here…
