Yuusha ga Shinda! (The Legendary Hero Is Dead!)

Three years have passed since Sion the legendary hero sealed the Gates of Hell.

Truly awe-inspiring...

What a gorgeous radish!

You really do have the perfect figure!

I hereby dub you Katherine.

Now, let's dress you up real nice!

Touka! What are you doing?

Y-Yuna?!

I-I'm just harvesting radishes!

So why are you putting a stocking on it?

Upon finding a radish shaped like the perfect thigh, any man would

feel compelled to put a stocking on it!

You're the only pervert who'd do that!

Honestly!

When you're not lazing around, you're doing gross stuff like that.

Why'd I have to be childhood friends with someone like you?

What?

The legendary hero is our age,

and he managed to save the whole world!

Yeah, yeah.

Legendary hero this, legendary hero that. He's all you people talk about.

The Sacred Sword could've chosen anyone, you know?

Besides, his seal didn't hold up for long,

and now the devils are back on the loose.

That's why he's traveling far and wide to slay them all!

Cleaning up after yourself ain't very heroic.

But I don't care what happens far and wide

so long as my own house and field are safe.

And you too, of course, Yuna.

What's that supposed to mean?

She might be a mean old nag, but she's got perfect proportions.

Especially those thighs!

Those freaking luscious thighs!

The hell are you doing?!

S-Sorry, force of habit...

Honestly!

The whole world's in peril, but that's still all you think about!

Devils could even attack here, you know?

Thankfully, I'm prepared for that!

Behold my brilliant trap!

It'll skewer any devils that enter my field!

That's so stupid.

H-Hey...

Why's she always gotta take me down a peg?

I love humans.

I eat humans.

Ah! A devil!

It's a devil attack!

No... S-Stay back...

Human. Woman. Looks tasty.

Yuna!

What do I do?

I need Yuna for my future plans.

I've gotta rescue her somehow.

Oh, Mr. Devil!

I've got some tasty meat grilling here!

Even a devil has to prefer a well-browned cut of juicy pork!

That's it! C'mon over here!

And fall right into my brilliant trap!

Gross. I hate pork.

So pork isn't gonna do the job...

Crap!

That expression screams, "Why are you grilling when I'm in danger?!"

Damn it all. I'll have to step in!

Get away from her!

Are you all right?

Th-The legendary hero!

It's the legendary hero!

The legendary hero's here to save us!

Mr. Legendary Hero! Thank you so much!

I'm just glad to see you safe, Miss Yuna.

Y-You remember me?!

Of course I do!

It's been three whole years.

Have you been well?

I forgot this jerk saved Yuna three years ago too...

I'm so delighted!

I was sure you'd forgotten me!

The delight's all mine, since I get to see you happy again.

I just love your smile, you know.

Oh, Mr. Legendary Hero...

"I just love your smile," he says?!

This piece-of-shit hero is one smooth talker!

And Yuna's lapping it up!

Hey, Yuna! I also tried to save—

Stay out of this, scumbag.

Go back to your one-man barbecue.

What's with the total one-eighty?!

I like you better smiling too, you know!

After three years, Yuna was finally warming up to me!

This is all that hero's fault!

What's that sound? Another devil?!

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid that's my stomach rumbling.

W-Would you like to come by my house, then?

I made a bit too much for lunch...

Really?

He gets to eat Yuna's home cooking?!

Not even I've had that!

Now they're just rubbing it in...

Is that barbecue I smell?

I just love meat! I—

You gotta be kiddin' me...

No!

Th-There's no way the guy who saved the world just...

Yeah, he's dead.

How can this be?!

Without the legendary hero, we can't seal the Gates of Hell!

What a nightmare! It's the end of humanity!

We should put Touka on trial before His Majesty!

Now hold on a minute!

This was an accident.

Besides, I'm the victim here. He was trespassing to steal food.

Don't make excuses!

You can atone with your life!

Ch-Chill out!

Let's think about this calmly for a moment.

The legendary hero died falling into a trap...

Who'd even believe that story?

If a buncha villagers came to me with that,

I'd bet they were the ones who did it!

You're gonna try to pin this on us?!

No... I'm afraid he has a point.

No one would believe he died like this.

W-We could blame it on a devil...

Then how do we explain how we survived?

But what other choice do we have?

Hold it.

There is another option.

Now, as far as anyone knows, he's just missing.

We had no part in it.

"No part in it," my butt...

Guess it figures that it takes a madman to off the legendary hero.

What do you want me to do?!

All our asses are on the line here!

We're just protecting the village.

Man, I feel great this morning.

Hiding the legendary hero's corpse must've been really therapeutic.

I feel like a whole new man—

What's going on?

I look like the legendary hero!

And on his worst day, no less...

Maybe I'm dreaming.

Who could it be at this early hour?

Mr. Legendary Hero?!

Mr. Legendary Hero, you came back to life?!

W-Well, actually...

I guess I do look just like him.

Damn it, why'd I end up with that jerk's mug?

Hang on, she's totally into me!

That's it! At last, I could...

Well, Yuna, I had a favor to ask you...

Will this serve your purpose, Mr. Legendary Hero?

Th-This is...

The power of the legendary hero!

The power of the world's savior!

Now I can put stockings on the luscious thighs of beautiful girls the world over!

The legendary hero is looking at me with the most piercing gaze...

He really is wonderful!

Nothing like that stupid Touka!

Though he does smell a little rank...

No, don't say that, Yuna!

Even if he stinks, the legendary hero...

Stinks!

Mr. Legendary Hero, you reek to hell and back!

Calm down, Yuna!

What are you—

Huh?

You monster!

N-No! I'm Touka!

Touka's no monster!

I just woke up like this!

Oh? Prove you're Touka, then!

Magical Girl Magical Yunarin.

That's what you called yourself at age twelve when you wanted to be a mage.

I'm the only one in the village who knows.

You even made that lame outfit you were so proud of!

It was hilarious.

Huh? Yunarin?

Yunari—

Fine, we've established that you're Touka.

So, how did you turn into the legendary hero?

No idea. I wish I knew.

Seems like my soul got swapped into his buried corpse,

so it must be magic at work.

So you recognized my necromancy!

As expected of the man who killed Sion the hero!

Who's there?!

It's coming from your field.

It's about time!

I'm Anri Haysworth the necromancer!

The one who made you Sion the hero!

And why did you do that, huh?!

You're still going?!

W-Well... I...

B-Before I answer, could you please help me?

That was a close call!

I was dying to see how you'd react when you woke up looking like the legendary hero...

To think you'd anticipate my actions and set a trap!

Sounds like you just screwed up to me!
