Prologue

——And thus, with the death of the source of evil the [Demon king], the unprecedented danger that attacked Reneous continent had reached its end.

Demon king Hadar.

One of the high ranking Spirits of the [Deities] of whom there existed only 21 in this world.

With unparalleled and great power, Hadar conducted atrocities in every part of the world. An organized giant army with innumerable evil Spirits under his command would trample every town it attacked with the objective to control everything in the world by force and fear.

Countries that had felt the threat of the [Demon King] formed an alliance; they used their own armies, Spirit knights to face the [Demon king Suppression] but even so………… the war one-sidedly kept getting worse for them.

Even the joint efforts of the human race were still not enough and it was only a matter of time before the defeat of human race— and it was at that time, that the devil king was killed.

By the hands of one man.

The man’s name was Tooi Cross.

That person controlled 12 beautiful deities and defeated the [Demon king].

As the hero that saved the world, the name Tooi Cross spread throughout the Reneous continent. Together with the name of the 12 beautiful deities — [Nebulosa12 G.o.ddesses] — he contracted, his success turned into a great legend and excited the people.

Tooi Cross was called [Tyrant Slayer] thanks to his deed but no matter how far that name was circulated around the world, his birth and past were still a mystery.

The grand country placed in the middle of Reneous continent — Arludea Empire. Other than the fact that he was hired by that country to fight; there was no other information at all.

But that’s only normal.

That’s because he was not a human from this world.

Tooi Cross’s real ident.i.ty is a high school boy Kurosu Tooi who was summoned from a country called [j.a.pan] from a planet called [Earth].

 

“—I hereby revoke our [Contract].”

That voice felt somewhat lonely but was filled with an unwavering determination.

This happened right after he destroyed the demon king and saved the world.

Having stepped outside the demon castle, of which only the debris was left, Tooi Cross said his farewells to his comrades, the [12 G.o.ddesses(Nebulosa)] who fought with him.

Because of the violent fight with the demon king Hadar, everyone was covered in wounds but Tooi was running out of time.

“This is painful but this is where we part. Thank you all for everything. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything without you.”

His words sounded lonely but his eyes were not showing any signs of hesitation.

“I am going back to my world. All of you live in your world freely. Also, please tell Laila [Thanks for all the help] if you meet her.”

After that, Tooi said his farewells to each and every one of them.

He left his last farewells to his 12 contracted deities lined up there.

His feelings to each respective deity were hard to describe but Tooi chose his words sincerely and seriously before telling them his appreciation and farewell.

Their responses were diverse.

If there was someone crying, there was also someone emotionless. If there was someone shouting angrily, there was someone sleeping as well.

“……….Tooi. You’re really going, huh.”

Right when he finished saying his farewells to everyone, a G.o.ddess with green eyes and beautiful silver hair whispered with a voice that sounded like if she was close to crying.

Those words and emotions she held back became unbearable for her and she spilled them out.

“Do you really have to go……?”

“Yeah. With the ether gathered from the continent and monopolized by Hadar until now being in this castle, this is the only chance for a path to my world to open.”

“……….You don’t have to go back”

With a voice mixed with grief and sorrow, Tooi’s eyes shook.

“Ryuura……..”

“It’s alright to stay forever in this world. You are the hero that saved the world from this predicament, you know? If you go back to the empire, you will be promised huge rewards and absolute status. You could stay here without any problems at all………….”

“……………..”

“I……….served you, because it was you. I fought because it was you………! I want to walk more alongside you in this world…….so—“

“—Sorry.”

Tooi said that.

“There’s a personwoman waiting for me. I have to go.”

And with that the contracts with the G.o.ddesses were revoked.

12 of the deities scattered to their own lands as the hero they served disappeared from this world.

However.

After the pa.s.sage of many years, Tooi Cross was called back to the other world once again.

That’s because——
