Maybe I’ll Just Leave You Around Here

“Who exactly are you? This time, you will tell us your true identity,” (Filia)

Filia asked in a serious tone. Until now, Henriette and the others who had been constantly fleeing, directed sharp gazes toward Leon. Though Tina alone was tied up with a rope and lying on the floor. It was because she had once again tried to interfere with the twins.

Leon tilted his head.

“I’m just an ordinary boy, you know?” (Leon)

“““Where!?””” (Henriette, Filia, Meltera)

They immediately shot back at him.

Meltera said with an exasperated face.

“There’s no way such an ordinary child could exist.” (Meltera)

Filia glanced briefly at Meltera,

“If she is… the Elf hero Meltera-sama,” (Filia)

“I am definitely the real Meltera, you know?” (Meltera)

“…Then, traveling together with Meltera-sama, who exactly are you?” (Filia)

Henriette also pursued him with a strong tone.

“Swords, magic, detection abilities, and healing magic… you can use all four of these perfectly and have mastered every one of them. How can that be ordinary?” (Henriette)

“Um…” (Leon)

“There is only one person in history like that. Yes, the legendary hero Leon Libert.” (Filia)

When his previous life’s name was brought up, Leon instinctively took a step back. Closing in without letting him escape, Filia continued.

“Meltera-sama said for certain when she saw you at the top of that tower. ‘Hero Leon’, she said. This is not a mistake on my part.” (Filia)

Leon looked at her with pleading eyes, but Meltera grinned. It seemed she had no intention of helping him.

“My theory is this… Leon-kun… you are the same person as the legendary hero Leon.” (Filia)

“To be exact, I should say he is the reincarnation of hero Leon.” (Meltera)

A chorus of “Ehhhhhhh!” echoed.

“You are the reincarnation of hero Leon!? Is that true!?” (Henriette)

Silvia was spinning around in surprise.

‘Did you not know, degozaru?’ (Kisaragi)

“By the way, Kisaragi-san, how did you figure it out!?” (Silvia)

‘It’s because I saw the soul, de gozaru. There is no doubt about it, degozaru.’ (Kisaragi)

“Hey! If that’s the case, please say so! You caused all this and have been pretending not to know until now! Isn’t that awful!?” (Silvia)

Silvia strangled him by the neck. It didn’t hurt, but a chill ran through his entire body.

Whether to ignoring her or rather, not able to see it, Henriette and the others pressed forward, trying to get a confession.

“Come on, it’s not like you’ll lose anything. Why not give it up and confess quickly?” (Meltera)

Meltera’s prompting was almost like telling him to say it.

“Sigh… fine then,” (Leon)

Leon finally resigned himself.

“This Yamato country is currently divided mainly among four general families. The Date family in the north, the Tokugawa family in the east, the Mori family in the south, and the Toyotomi family in the west. Actually, my dad is from the Toyotomi family’s territory, Osaka.” (Kanae)

“Huh? So, Kanae, that means you have Yamato blood?” (Henriette)

“That’s right. I actually lived there for a few years too.” (Kanae)

Leon and Henriette’s group were riding on a land ship driven by Meltera and moving toward that Osaka. Yamato country stretches long from north to south, and when crossing the continent, the territory closest was Choshu, ruled by the Mori family. They were heading from Choshu, where the group had been, to the neighboring Osaka.

“By the way, this accent is from Osaka. The Osaka accent is strong and hard to lose no matter where you go. Because of my dad, I was already speaking this way by the time I became aware.” (Kanae)

In Edo, governed by the Tokugawa family in the east, the “-gozaru” speech style was common in the past. But with increased overseas exchange, it has almost completely disappeared. Though Kisaragi, a samurai from a hundred years ago, still actively used it.

“Since we’re here anyway, I thought we’d stop by my dad’s family home. Convenient magic makes it easy too.” (Kanae)

“Indeed, it is convenient! This is my original magic, you know!” (Meltera)

“Meltera-sama is skilled in earth magic, isn’t she?” (Henriette)

“Yes, that’s correct!” (Meltera)

Meltera proudly puffed out her chest. Listening to their conversation, Leon muttered quietly.

“Um… about how their reaction was surprisingly calm.” (Leon)

Having been cornered by Henriette and the others, Leon finally admitted that he was the reincarnation of the hero. However, their reactions were not what he had expected.

“We were almost certain.” (Henriette)

“Yes. We were hardly surprised.” (Meltera)

“…” (Leon)

Leon wondered why he had been running away until now.

“Well, whether you’re a hero from a past life or not, Leon-han is still Leon-han. Nothing changes, you know, hehehe…” (Kanae)

Kanae said this as she hugged him. Leon remembered the other reason he was running away, and that was to escape this pervert. He pushed her cheek with his palm and peeled her off.

“…Maybe I’ll just leave you lying around here.” (Leon)

“That’s cruel! At least let me show you around Osaka. It’s called the nation’s kitchen, with lots of delicious food!” (Kanae)

““Slurp”” (Arc/Iris)

Hearing “delicious food,” the twins drooled. Tina was breathing heavily.

“Haa haa… the drool of loli shota…” (Tina)

Everyone thought it might be better to just ditch this one along the way.
