Wait, i take it as both human and demon have an agreement to not start a war by letting humans kill the demon lord while demons kill the hero.
Is that how it goes?

Fiona is definitely not trustworthy, luckily she is playing this time on their side, without assurances that it will stay that way. She always had ulterior motives, even of those were conveniently benefitial. The only thing that can make me think that her course of actions are acceptable is if she is trying to avoid a greater disaster, probably Seika getting tired of all the BS and becoming king of the world xD. Because before he garnered power while staying under other people in a well established hierarchy, he hasnt considered he could just become the top or the only member of a hierarchy through force.

so demons disguised as humans have taken over the country and want to get rid of the hero and any other potential threat to their plan. this story really has no purpose anymore.

And there we are caught up with the anime.
And the explanation is exactly the same. Humans and demons have decided that they are now powerful enough that hero and demon lord are irrelevant.

So, humans and demons agreed on killing the hero because she's "obsolete", before even finding the demon lord and gauging his strength. And his intentions, which were, funny enough, to protect the hero. They all decided that a hero and a demon lord are not strong enough to replace an army. Or even make a significant contribution. And that war can now take place without these two "rounding errors".

Great. Tell that to Seika again. To his face. After he just trampled a whole army. Without laughing at your own ridiculous explanation.

In his previous life, he was killed through the betrayal of one he trusted. He was otherwise too strong to be killed directly.
Here, he is even more powerful and they were about to kill one of the few he would trust enough that they could kill him.
Great plan.

Worst part?
Seika is probably one of the most dangerous type of demon lord. Human appearance, so he can sneak into most human locations. Also human thinking patterns overall, so he wouldn't even stand out from alien behaviors. Can summon devastating monsters for a cataclysmic strike, then disappear before anyone can intervene, or even identify him. No need to parade around with a whole army that will announce his presence hundreds of miles in advance. Can use a form of magic that nobody in this world knows about, much less know how to counter. And much harder to kill than his short human body looks like because of the substitution paper dolls. He also has divination abilities: though not on the same level of precision as the princess, he could likely use them to throw uncertainties in her plans, should he intend to antagonize her. And curse abilities that can trigger at extreme long range.
Not completely invincible, but, by the time you manage to setup countermeasures against all of these, the death toll would be more devastating than a straight-up war would be.

It's almost like the humans and demons would count on a demon king that bluntly marches into a warzone to meet with an army head-on. Which they still miscalculated, but was a dumb assumption to make in the first place.

So, the humans and demons prepared a whole conspiracy to discard their best possible trump card in favor of a plan that ignored the most important factor of all: the demon king himself. And I included the demons above because apparently even they didn't want to be led by a demon king. Which makes it all the more hilarious in retrospect when the assassins actually encounter him and realize their mistake. "Great, we came to a point in history where the demon king is a negligible variable so we came to kill the human hero... who happens to be his best friend and he's totally not a negligible variable."

(Sidenote: to those who suggested in the comments of previous chapters that the demon assassins could and probably would have sided with Seika had they realized earlier that he's the demon king... now you see how that wasn't an option at all. If anything, he was as much their target as the heroine. They just miscalculated how much of a threat the demon king actually is. By several orders of magnitude.)

And here is one cunning princess who thinks she could make things work out peacefully... to some extent... when she could have derailed the conspiracy with a few simple actions. Like "coincidentally" inviting the heroine for a tea party the day of the assassination, providing an undeniable alibi. Or telling Seika about the assassination attempt and its fallout so he could simply disable the demon "diplomats" and send them back when the accusations of killing them came up. I can think of tons of ways to derail the whole plot, possibly even exposing it publicly so it can't bite them back later, without triggering Seika's rampage. And funny enough, the one thing she didn't go so far as to predict that would have made this timeline closer to a logical choice is that he would erase the traces of his rampage, down to the lives he took.
She has a cheat ability that she obviously abused to check multiple possible futures, but all she could do was the same BS as Avengers: Infinity Wars + Endgame? "I checked millions of possible future and this is the only one where we win." Dr Strange and her are the same: so unimaginative that, despite a cheat ability to see the future with control and clarity, they can't make a plan that makes sense and only manage a win based on a timeline requiring so much luck and so many contrivances it shouldn't even happen.
Basically, the only element she used her ability for was finding a way to be something close to a friend to him so that he wouldn't kill her on sight. Which worked, but she apparently disregarded the cost of everything to that point.

I wonder when will the time where the world is threatened by the Demon Lord because everyone think "We don't need those so called Hero and Demon Lord! Let's kill them!"
Doubt it. The curse always happen. If there is a Demon Lord, there will be a Brave to fight them

Question: didn't he have a maid with him who he brought to the academy so she could also learn magic? Been a while since i read the early chapters, but it's been nagging at me

Wasn't there a whole "nyoooo you can't resurrect 1 person Seika-sama!" (the fake hero girl's corrupted brother.... Kyle, was it?) from the fox girl summon a while ago? ...and now he just rezzes, what, dozens/hundreds of people and it's no problem?

He would have been able to. But at the time, he was still trying not to stand out.
This time, he's way beyond that.

Isn't the king being a demon more of a threat to the kingdom than some hero, or even war with the demons? Why is psychic girl allowing that to stay?

But then again, physic girl seems kinda stupid, she seems sad she isn't trusted after
  • trying to justify killing the hero to MC's face, and then asking to be the hero's protector
  • Telling MC that a single person being strong doesn't make any difference, after the castle was ass blasted by our singularly strong MC
... Jeez, I wonder why she isn't trusted... :smugnako:

did the anime change this part? iirc the princess was sacred shit when he resurrected the garrison in the anime?
It was more or less the same, with her being surprised at first, and then lashing it out on MC after that happened.

The princess claims that no one wants a war and that the death of the hero is meant to prevent a possible offensive from the human side.
But then she intends to blame the damage to the human's capital by claiming it was a giant demon's attack.
That means that she would give a direct reason for the humans to declare war on the demons because they launched a surprise attack on the capital, therefore could attack anywhere without warning and hence the only option to prevent that would be an offensive war against the demons.
Good strategy to prevent the war for someone who can see/predict the future....

A Demon attack on a garrison doesn't have to be explained to the public, the presence of the hero is public knowledge. Isn't it obvious which one would actually rile up the citizens?

Oh, I forgot a major point.

There is also the explanation about the hero's strength.
The whole explanation basically means that a hero in general isn't a threat to peace: the hero's strength grows in proportion to the threat directed at him/her. If, as the princess says, "nobody wishes for war nowadays", then the hero's strength would be just a little above average. Nothing particularly dangerous on a worldwide scale.
The hero herself wasn't aware of her status, so it would have taken some of the very few people who knew her status to bring it up publicly for her to become a trigger for war or something like that. When everybody now considers them as statistical "rounding errors" in a war, so it wouldn't have a real impact. Right.

There are so many inconsistencies in this whole background that the story just breaks here.

It could have worked a little better with a corrupt lord who sided with demons, trying to offer the human hero as a sacrifice.
It could have worked with a background where the mere existence of the hero and demon lord were so unbalanced it threatened the world.
Instead, they are described as so negligible in modern times... that they are better off killed than left alone? This is so contradictory I'm just baffled by the sheer stupidity.

Back then, he had only enough hitogata/paper dolls for the fights. The guy he was trying to rez was also under a soul curse thingy. So like he'd probably have to compensate for the hitogatas that he doesn't have and that could damage him if he did it.

This one on the other hand, he was prepared for WAR hence the number of hitogatas and at the same time the soldiers wasn't cursed.
