Volume 1 - Prologue

Prologue – Hero

That was definitely a lie, the girl thought. She thought that the boy in front of her was mocking her as the thing that he said was far away from what she perceived as ‘common sense.’

“Hahaha, don’t worry, don’t worry, you don’t need to be so anxious about it.”

Perhaps mistaking the girl’s suspicion as anxiety, the boy let out a soft smile to calm her down. However, the girl’s expression didn’t brighten up even a little. Like her surroundings, her expression was grim and dark. The girl knew. Young as she was, a mere third grader, she understood. Magic didn’t exist. ‘Hero’ was merely a fictitious concept.

“Eating someone’s ‘love’ is a piece of cake!”

There was no one that could heal her ‘broken heart’, the pain that tormented her heart for so long. If such being existed, then they would be a real hero, at least for the girl.

And so, the girl, Miyama Aoi, met a real hero this time.
