The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

——This is the last hope given to you.

Giulia stared intently at the title page of the notebook, on which was written the exact same sentence as she had seen in another notebook.

However, April, she didn't say this before.

If it wasn't for her to forget, then probably it was—the two sentences that looked exactly the same to her were actually written in different languages.

Because she was not originally from this world, no matter what language she used, it would become the same words in her eyes.Giulia is self-aware of this point.

She has read the following content more than once before.

A record written by a certain demon king and quasi-heroes, such an incredible lineup.

No matter how many times you read it, the most likely conclusion you can draw is this.

The notes are mainly about the research records of a very complicated and obscure spell, and they don't say much about other things.For example, the exact identity of the researchers, their age, the purpose of studying this spell, etc. are not mentioned.

Then the problem arises.

What kind of spell is worth studying together with the two forces that should be hostile, the devil king and the quasi-hero? What does "Last Hope" refer to, this spell?Who is the you in that sentence referring to?

Giulia couldn't guess any of these things.

"It should be fine to tell April about this, right?"

She rubbed her head with some headaches, put away her notes, got up and walked to the window, opened the window and looked out at the overcast sky, feeling the cold wind blowing past her face.

Just when she felt a little awake, a black spot flashed past in her vision.

—Illusion?No, don't be careless.

Giulia poked her head out to look around carefully, and finally found what she was looking for.I saw that small black spot getting bigger and bigger, and then gradually became clearer.

"Bat, bat?"

As soon as she exclaimed, the bat flew close to her, brushing her hair and entering the house.

With a flash of light, a familiar figure had already sat on the stool with his legs crossed, he reached out to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, and drank it.

"It turned out to be cold, and no plasma has been added. Poor review."

After finishing the drink in one go, she frowned and complained unhappily.

"... Elena?"

Giulia looked at her suspiciously.

"Yes, you still remember my name."

The vampire raised an eyebrow and looked at her with satisfaction.

"Why did you fly into my room?"

Giulia took a breath, trying to make her tone as calm as possible.

"There is an error in the location of the teleportation talisman, otherwise I would have appeared directly in front of your door, and then knocked on the door normally." Elena spread her hands, "No way, I am really not good at making that kind of thing Woolen cloth."

"It's not about how you came in," Giulia couldn't see if she was pretending to be stupid, so she could only say directly, "It's about why you came."

"Oh, this," the other party suddenly realized, "Of course I came to look for you."

"What are you looking for me for?"

Giulia held back her impatience and continued to ask.

"Well, well, I have to think about it," the vampire put on a pensive look, and saw that she was about to be unable to bear it, so he said calmly, "I'm here for that guy Bai Ye of."

"...Miss Saint?" Yulia immediately became vigilant, "Why did she want to find me?"

"Don't be nervous, it's nothing earth-shattering."

Elena reassured.

Giulia still looked at her nervously, not feeling comforted at all.

"Okay." Elena waved her hand, "Bai Ye's job is actually to keep a true record of your situation."

"Do you want to learn from me?"

Giulia guessed.

"No, that's the job to replace Bai Ye, and it's been done before. It's just that there's no need to meet you." The vampire denied, "The reason why I came here instead of Bai Ye is to confirm your thoughts."

"...Confirm, what do I think?"

Giulia looked at her blankly.

"That's right, it's also my selfishness." The vampire hugged his chest and smiled inexplicably, "As a brave man summoned to this world, why on earth did you abandon your accusations and become a crusader?" servant?"

"Because... what can't be done just can't be done!" Giulia took a deep breath, and finally gave up on maintaining her composure, expressing the dissatisfaction accumulated so far in one go, "I still want to ask you why You want to call me, obviously there are a lot of more suitable candidates, people like me... are just naive and stupid idiots who yearn for a smooth and easy life where everyone can be happy."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and reached out her hand to wipe away the tears that oozed from the corners of her eyes because of being too excited.

"The call of the brave is sometimes such an unreasonable thing." Elena sighed with some emotion, "But, I wonder if you have heard a word?"

"Miracle always happens to those who believe in them." The vampire asked and answered himself, his tone seemed to be talking to himself, "The reason why you were chosen must be to have this yearning in your heart."

"That's not true," Yulia denied without hesitation, and said in an almost imperceptible voice, "I just... because I can't accept it, I hate the natural cruelty of reality, and I just fantasize about a more dreamy world .”

"In a sense, this world is indeed more dreamy, isn't it?"

Elena smiled lightly.

"I was summoned without saying hello, and I was called to fight against the Demon King by force," Yulia raised her head and complained, "How could I accept such a thing."

"So, is it okay even if you can't go back to the original world?"

Elena asked in a flat tone, her attitude was not a threat, but simply stating the facts.

"...Already, it doesn't matter." After a moment of silence, Yulia said firmly, "Besides, it's not that I can't learn some information about the original world."

"Ah, rely on that." Elena nodded, "I was summoned together at the beginning——'Sword of the Brave', the equipment from another world is really amazing."

"So, do you think it's okay to go on like this?"

"Ah."

Facing Elena's inquiry, Giulia nodded and said seriously:

"Although I don't know who you are and what your purpose is, but for me, just living like this is enough for me."

"That's right," the vampire sighed, "But, it's not okay to go on like this."
