[Eldion Empire, Royal Castle Garden]

~Nightime~

During the night the hero of the human race Hibiki likes to take a stroll through the garden which littered in snow during the sleeping hours of the people in the castle

This time Hibiki stood majestically beside the pond as he looks into the water that reflected his reflection and the starry night sky in the sky

Before his first reincarnation he admired non-human creatures such as beast folks and elves as he lives his normal life after all such creatures are fantasy like imagination to people who lives in an ordinary world

But all of this was shattered during his first life reincarnation, not only does his parents died in the hands of the beastmen but also his friends were killed during the war with the elves and demons when he grew up as an adventurer

Due to this, his view to these non-human existence greatly turned from admiration to disgust, fear, anger, and hatred

When he died in his first reincarnation his soul was summoned to this world as a hero, with insurmountable power coursing through his veins he pledged himself to get rid of the non-human in the empire

At first the people tried to stop him because such species was a great help for the development of the country

After taking their considerations Hibiki announced that such species shall only be captured and exiled in the empire after all he is still a human with feelings

After three months and a half due to his status as a hero he became strong enough to contend against experienced A-rank adventurer to Newly S-rank adventurer

As he wonders about his decisions and actions that he took until now, the sound of footstep echoed through his ear as princess Lily also the healer mage in his party approached him

When he first saw her he was truly captivated by her and immediately fall for her, at that instant he declared his live for her but the princess expression became awkward as she couldn't comprehend the situation

She was only supposed to become a healer mage in the hero's party not his lover, so in the end after few days she said that the hero would need to try his best to make her fall for him in order to answer his courting

The King emperor her father was quite fond of the hero so he didn't stopped the hero from courting the princess as for her queen empress mother she stayed neutralize as she wants her daughter to follow her hearts desire

After that the hero tried to make the princess fall for him everyday which leads to the current situation

"Hero-sama! What are you doing here?" Asks the Lily

With that question Hibiki just stared at her solemnly

"Nothing much! I just want to think of somewhere quietly and suddenly my feet dragged me here before i knew it" he replied

As both of them stares at the starry night sky the hero spoke up

"Do you think that the actions I made up until now we're wrong? Have I gone to far? After all the non-human of these world is different from the non-human in my past world... But somehow I just can't feel at ease" said Hibiki

After pondering for a while Lily replied

"I think that you have your reasons for doing those things! But you should know! Not every person is the same so you can't put everyone on the same page!" Said Lily

After hearing that Hibiki nodded slowly

"Maybe your right but also maybe I'm right!... In this world demons are still the problem... No matter what world they are the roots in all this chaos!" He said
