The Ninth Summoning of Mr. Dazai, the Magic-Immune Hero

◇ If magic can't heal the hero, then I'll just have to make sure he doesn't get hurt. ◇

To save the world, I, a saint, summoned a BUG hero from another world:

Mr. Dazai, who is immune to all magic.

I thought I was in for a tough but heartwarming adventure. But the hero I summoned slacked off the entire time, getting our party wiped out one, two, three... eight times!

Every time I died, I returned to the moment I summoned the hero. It was like time had reversed, and the journey to defeat the Demon King had started all over again.

And then... the hero got me killed.

The ninth time I watched this bandage-covered guy appear in the summoning circle, I decided to work two jobs myself and stop expecting anything from him!

This is the ninth time! I can be the hero myself!

Compared to all the trouble this hero has caused me, defeating the Demon King should be a piece of cake!

◇

Me at the place I died in the first run: Hero, what's the fun in throwing yourself into a river alone? There's a tavern up ahead with beautiful women. Why not go enjoy yourself?

Me at the place I died in the second run: It's just a level 69 orc. Why should the hero bother? I can take it down with one hand.

Me at the place I died in the third run: [Pulls out the highest-grade armor, without enchantments] This is a gift for you, Hero. It represents my love for you. Be sure to wear it when you enter the dungeon!

The night before the final battle with the Demon King:

Level 2 Hero Dazai: Miss Saint, I don't quite understand. It seems you could defeat the Demon King all by yourself. Why did you summon me?

Level 172 Saint: ... (smiles)

The saint, thinking: If I could send you back, do you think I'd want to support a pretty boy who spends a fortune?

◇

The day the Demon King was defeated:

Level 7 Hero Dazai: Miss Saint, the Demon King has been defeated! You'll keep supporting me, right?

Level 197 Saint: (scornful look, true colors revealed) I think this world no longer needs a hero from another world. Go fulfill your ultimate dream!
