Akuyaku no Oujo ni Tensei Shitakedo Volume 2 Chapter 1

 The events so far



It's been a few days since Lulu took me out of the palace.


I'm still struggling to grasp the reality of it all.


I'm Lucienne La Vérie, the result of a king's involvement with a maid, supposedly the third princess. Yet, my life has been marred by constant mistreatment.


One day, the memories of my past life hit me like a truck.


I realized that I was the villainous princess from an otome game I loved in my previous life.


Then came Lulu.


She's a hidden character from the game's fan disc, an assassin.


I don't know much else about her, but she was the one who extended a helping hand.


She provided me with food, took care of me, and remained by my side when I had no one else.


Later on, the coup led by Marquis Fayette succeeded, and I was rescued from the palace. I became an adopted member of the new royal family—the Fayette family.


It's there that I encountered a boy who would become my brother, just like in the game's original story.


Aristide Loire Fayette.

Reincarnated Elf Epilogue 1

 Epilogue 1: Three Years After Defeating the Demon King



As the miasmic space cleared, I found everyone gathered around Minori, engrossed in conversation. Despite an air of embarrassment, the unapproachable atmosphere from before had vanished.


"Minori has really grown, huh?"


I couldn't help but smile at the scene.


Then, a group ran toward Jin, seemingly oblivious to Minori.


"Jin! Great job! You finally did it! I would've held a grudge if you died!"


"Jin, thank you! You did it, and you're not even injured. To Lady Lahab—"


—They were Jin's new companions. That was good.


But what surprised me was Lahab waving behind them.


"Teacher Lahab!? Why are you here!?"


"Well, while wandering around casually, I stumbled upon an interesting party that sees you as their mentor. So, I decided to join for some entertainment."


"Why didn't you say so if you were nearby for fun!?"


"Well, it seemed interesting. Honestly, these three years were quite entertaining, Master Reese."


"Ugh...!?"

Reincarnated Elf Chapter 53

 The girl without a name now reveals her identity



A sudden flash.


Outside the tainted air, a red-haired woman dashed through the battlefield, leaving fiery trails with each swing of her sword.


"Wow... handling this alone—"


With each swing, demons fell, and magical beasts were incinerated, creating a path of flames.


In the midst of her impressive display, fortress soldiers finally found a strategy after a long battle.


Amidst this, Ravie, the gatekeeper of Kukule Fortress, raised his shield, intercepting magical attacks to create a barrier for the girl.


"Create a barrier so the girl can strike! We can at least block the magical beasts' sight. We've guarded this fortress for 20 years; let's show our strength! Stand firm!"


"Oooooooohhh!!!"


With a cry, soldiers endured attacks with remaining strength.


Magical beasts disappeared one by one. All magical creatures were down, except Gurgea.


The battlefield became a unified front.


Everyone supported Minori, who tirelessly cut down magical beasts.

Listen to My Lady’s Story Chapter 92

The former lady of the duke is being invited



 "It suits you very well."


"Flattery won't do... That's why I didn't want to wear it."


Norman complimented me as I got ready to head to the royal castle in my room, but those words now seemed more like sarcasm.


Upon seeing my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but sigh.


I was currently dressed in a jet-black military uniform prepared by my new employer in advance. Truly a costume for the occasion.


The pure white knight's attire of the kingdom was the same, but why did they always go for such flashy outfits?


...Well, considering this world is the stage for an otome game, I guess I have to accept it.


Not to mention the noble attire I wore the other day; such flashy clothes don't suit me at all.


I do miss the familiar butler uniform, but I am no longer in the position of a servant.


Wearing that now would be out of the question.


"I don't think that's the case. ...Isn't that right, Milady Isabella?"


"Huh!?"


"Well, it suits you. I think it looks fantastic."

Reincarnated Elf Chapter 52

 Reincarnated Elf (110), Confronting the Demon Lord with Disciples



Doomsday magic.


It's the Demon Lord's exclusive dark attribute magic, known for its exceptionally high miasma consumption. While ordinary demons use "Destruction Magic" to shatter objects from within, the Demon Lord's "Doomsday Magic" apparently erases things from within.


I've encountered destruction magic before, but witnessing doomsday magic is a rare occurrence.


Surrounded by an enigmatic aura, everything near the creature—leaves, branches, and even insects—seems to vanish.


With a skull-like face and four horns, it exudes more eeriness than sheer power.


Even the small Yggdrasil branch in the training ground with Jin starts to show signs of being affected. The vibrant green leaves, normally resistant to miasma, wither rapidly and vanish by the time they touch the ground.


Facing such a formidable opponent for the first time, every move and action of the one claiming to be the Demon Lord is like living data.


This mastery is crucial—


"Um, Master? Master Reese—?"


As I begin to casually analyze his magic, Jin vigorously waves his hands in front of me.


Jin might be more accustomed to battlefields than I am. And unintentionally, I've done something quite cruel to Jin, who is exhausted and has completely depleted his magic.

Reincarnated Elf Chapter 51

 The hero, awakens




"And here's the other reason you won't be challenging us,"


With a snap of his fingers, Uva created a distortion in the space next to him.


"The hero's sword you're looking for is this, right?"


It contained a holy power so potent that even Uva hesitated to possess it. Throughout history, heroes had wielded a sacred sword to vanquish demons and bring peace to the world—the sword they sought to fully unleash the hero's power, the Ascalon.


"700 years ago, our former Demon Lord met his demise with this short sword. It's not a product of hero magic or anything, but it possesses holy power itself. Thanks to this, you all have your expectations. Destruction magic, Galdaros' hammer of annihilation."


Unaware of what they were seeking, Uva easily shattered the sword into pieces using his magical power.


"Now, you should understand that there's no chance for you to win. Why don't we peacefully make a deal?"


Uva, who had been smiling so casually, had transformed from the earlier tense situation.


—When did he start longing to become such a cool adventurer?


I guess it all started when my mom used to read me those tales of adventurers. 


Maybe it was when, by sheer luck, I took down that magical wolf, Hound Wolf, that showed up in the village, and people praised me.

Reincarnated Elf Chapter 50

 The hero of the next generation, tempted by whispers of a demonic contract



From the past, he had always dreamed of becoming a strong adventurer. Just like those in stories, adventurers who traveled the world, defeated magical beasts, and protected the smiles of the people were the coolest. However, he lacked the most crucial thing for an adventurer—he couldn't use magic. Being unable to wield magic, he was branded a burden many times over.


Even so, he couldn't give up on his dream.


Day by day, he trained, encountered a wise mentor, formed bonds with new companions, and embarked on numerous adventures—until finally...


●●●


Clang!


The swords clashed once again – one enveloped in the darkness of magical energy, the other radiating the light of magic. However, Uva clearly held the upper hand in this relentless duel.


"Hero magic seems to be nothing more than this. No need to bother our Demon Lord with it."


Amidst the explosive turmoil, Uva vigorously imbued his sword with magic and swung it forcefully.


"Hero, Magic Manifestation, Magic Infusion Enchantment! Overlord Sword's Blessing, Elhiraah!!"


Light once again surged from Jin's sword. Despite the repeated attempts to nullify it, the sacred light persisted, gently enveloping Jin's body in protection.


Uva and Jin found themselves surrounded by the densest miasma in the world.
