The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero

V2 Chapter 1 Legend Maid Knight

Several days have passed since the Ogre annihilation request in the territory of mankind── on the Shutaia Continent.

After returning to the royal capital, Adventurer Shion── Demon King Varvatos, after buying some books in the bookstore, locked himself in his own room in the inn house, [Steel Fish Shop], has been, and start reading.

Maybe because he really wants to concentrate while reading, he specifically told shopkeeper Garadd “even if I have guests, absolutely do not let them pass.....” just to be sure.

In fact, even with Maid Knight Zweita playing around and writing a letter on Shion's back with his finger, he didn't care about her at all.

“...... Very boring.”

Zweita, who was lying on the bed, muttered that sounding dissatisfied.

After returning to the inn, Shion stared at her books the entire time.

Even if he wrote a letter on his back with his finger, or put his head bando over his head as a joke, he paid no attention at all.

Even when he leaned on his back intentionally, he was silent and only muttered one word “Berat”.

He felt that he should have said more about something else, but no one comforted him if he was unwilling to answer.

While sulking, Zweita did not know what to do with her free time.

What Shion bought seems to be a popular publication in the country for some reason.

He remembered how many of the same books were stacked in bookstores.

Zweita stared at the titles of the volumes stacked next to Shion.

[Dim-human Report.]

[Following the Hero's Journey (Volume One)]

[Following the Hero's Journey (Volume Two)]

[Following the Hero's Journey (Volume Three)]

[Mystery from the Dark Continent]

[Legenda Maid Knight]

[Bible of Life]

[Investigation in the Land of Darkness]

And, what Shion was reading right now was a book called [Sea of Farthest Ends].

Zweita did not really understand what made Shion so enthusiastic about them, but for now, she chose a book that had the title [Legenda Maid Knight] written on it, and try to open it on the bed.

“Let's see ...... When talking about Maid Knight, we should first talk about an existence called [Originally Maid Knight ].

──Origin by Maid Knight, Reina.

The Maid Knight that even the former Hero Ryuuya could not make him obey.

Since then──and even at the time of writing this book──she is free to travel the world with a completely unchanged appearance.

To begin with, how should we consider the existence known as the Maid Knight.

The Maid Knight was said to be looking for their own suitable master.

Being knights and servants, those women were the best at combat and skill as servants, and as such they were existences that anyone wanted to employ.

I have heard that with there being too much admiration for Maid Knight, and recently there was a trend for “Battle Maids” that was similar to Maid Knights as employees, he said, but no matter how similar they were, they were not Maid Knights.

As for the reason, it was because the unique equipment that Maid Knights wore had special characteristics.

Let's discuss this later.

Before that, let's look at what qualifications make a Maid Knight a Maid Knight.

In connection with this, there are many passages that have not been disclosed, but this author believes that the secret is most likely to be on Reina.

It was thought that it was most likely Reina who had personally given the secret ceremony to those who had the quality as a [Maid Knight ...... ]

“H ”

However, excluding cases like Zweita, cases where normal people became Maid Knights, as this author said, Zweita thought that they might have received some sort of influence through Reina. But he's not too sure.

To start with, Maid Knight is a “Job”.

Usually, the work is said to be determined through the person's own method of fighting and the environment, as well as through a strong will and awareness.

For example, Shion's current job is Witch. It could be said that Shion's current fighting style had affected him. However, if Shion used a sword as well, there was also a chance that it would turn into a Magic Swordsman.

On the other hand, those who have a strong desire for their own work can also make their work no matter what their fighting style is.

For example, if one had a strong awareness that they were Weapon Merchants, no matter how much magic they used to fight, they would not change from being Knights or Magicians.

However, this [Legenda Maid Knight] shows that Maid Knight has “Keunikan” which makes it different from other jobs.

“...... Let's see, there's one example here.”

According to the book, in certain experiments in the past, it was said that inspections were conducted where the Battle Maid strongly believed that he was a Maid Knight, a kind of, and then they checked his status with an item that was able to confirm one's Status, [Reveal Crystal], as the will power might be affected.

As a result, the [Reveal Crystal] decided that he was a Battle Maid.

Through this, it is known that Maid Knight is “ special work” like his Hero thing, and at the same time, the fact that it is impossible to pretend to be a Maid Knight also spreads.

And then, for that reason, it seemed that the number of people searching for the original Maid Knight was increasing.

Incidentally, the special and unique equipment mentioned might be about the clothes and armor that Zweita also used.

The garment has the function of cleaning dirt automatically, self-repairing function automatically, and made of unknown materials, it has high defense strength.

The equipment of a Maid Knight could always maintain the state of the equipment very well, until it looked like new, if one had to say whether it was special or not, it was definitely special.

However, by comparing Zweita's equipment and Eina's equipment which was another Maid Knight, as the colors and shapes and details of the decorations were different, one could guess that despite their functions were the same, one could guess that even though they were the same, the design will be different depending on the individual.

“Hmph..”

Zweita threw the [Legenda Maid Knight] book onto the bed.

There really is nothing more stupid than this.

This was something he had felt a lot since he had come to the Shutaia Continent, but there were too many people who misunderstood the Maid Knight as some kind of top-grade decoration or something.

Among Humans, it seems that there are many who feel that they themselves would be extraordinary if they decorated themselves with beautiful and expensive items, which are, surround themselves with great people.

A person is not extraordinary because they are decorated.

A person is not extraordinary because they are surrounded by subordinates.

It was because they had such a large caliber that the people around them tried to decorate them.

Since they have a large caliber then people try to become their subordinates.

Being amazing, is nothing but the result of it.

It should be one's natural state, that's what all Devils think. That is why Satan has meritocracy. However, for some reason, on the territory of mankind, it seems that status is something inherited, and there is a rule that the seizure is not allowed.

Zweita felt they had become rotten because of it, but he also had no obligation to correct it from their way of carrying it out.

“Uu ....”.

Rolling over the bed, he finally faced upwards.

After returning from the extermination of the Ogre, the long-eared woman── Edios Adventurer School board chairman, Luuty Ligas, did not interfere with them.

It was completely peaceful and silent, but they also did not come to enjoy the peace.

When Zweita turned her gaze to Shion while thinking such things, just as Shion lifted her face from her book.

Zweita immediately jumped out of bed, and began massaging Shion's shoulders with shining eyes.

“Completed?”

“...... For a while. I've formulated a conjecture. Even so, I don't have much confidence in it.”
