There’s a legend.
In places abandoned by the gods, a Demon King will be born.
Yegor, a godforsaken land in the north.
But what does that have to do with me?
I’m just a retired former hero.
I have a girl at home who has nightmares, glows, and can make flowers that have been frozen for a hundred years bloom overnight.
Her magic is a pale cherry pink.
I’ve seen that color before, on a battlefield long ago.
She asks who that person was.
I don’t answer.
Could she be the Demon King?
If she really is the Demon King
then I’ll probably be the first hero in history to take up a sword to protect one.
After all, I’ve been retired for years. What’s wrong with a little rebellion now and then?
