# “The Reincarnated Hero’s Unexpected Talent: Writing”

A new characteristic appeared.

‘You were not only a great hero but also an excellent writer. Your work depicting the battle with the Demon Lord became a bestseller across the entire continent.’

‘Your talent for writing novels has blossomed.’

Without exact numbers, it seemed I had gained a non-combat related talent. Well, I’ll test it out later when I write something. With that thought, I closed my status window.

Whoosh-! Bang-!

Anyway, everything started returning to normal.

Naturally, my homeroom teacher and Mimiko returned to their original forms. The writers, of course, and the various aliens that Victory Man had enslaved were also reverting to their original forms.

“Shota… you did it.”

My homeroom teacher sighed with relief after finally grasping the situation.

“Well, I am a professional alien hunter after all.”

I said with a smile.

“Hah! Alien hunter, huh?”

My homeroom teacher chuckled, half dismissing it as a joke.

“………”

No, but it’s actually true. The aliens I’ve killed could form mountains.

“Mimiko…”

At that moment, my homeroom teacher looked at Mimiko with concerned eyes. Mimiko’s body had returned to normal, but she still hadn’t opened her eyes.

“Mmm…..”

Just then, Mimiko’s ears twitched as she tried to open her eyes.

I placed my hand on my homeroom teacher’s shoulder.

“Let’s give you the credit for this one.”

I said with a smile.

“What? But I pathetically retired in the middle…”

My homeroom teacher mumbled hesitantly.

“She’s your first love that you want to hold onto, even if you have to show off a little.”

I said to my homeroom teacher.

“That’s…..”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s showing off. Now’s the time to act.”

I said seriously. You have to hold onto a good woman. Finding love with someone you care about is a rare experience.

“…Thanks.”

My homeroom teacher seemed to have made up his mind. Seriously… he needs so much help.

“S-Satoshi…?”

Mimiko finally opened her eyes and looked around.

“Y-you did it… I’ve finally… returned to normal.”

Mimiko burst into tears.

“Teacher defeated Victory Man.”

I said with a smile.

“Satoshi… I believed in you… you’re my hero…”

Mimiko cried as she fell into my homeroom teacher’s arms.

“Yes. Mimiko is free now.”

My homeroom teacher said as he stroked her back.

I cleared my throat toward my homeroom teacher.

This is the perfect moment for a confession! The kill shot!! Please!!! Just throw any skill you have!!

“……Mimiko.”

My homeroom teacher looked straight at Mimiko.

“I’ve liked you since we first met when I was 8 years old. I’ll make you happy. Will you be my wife?”

My homeroom teacher said.

“………..”

Mimiko looked at my homeroom teacher with surprised eyes.

“Yes!!! I like Satoshi too!!”

Mimiko immediately stole my homeroom teacher’s lips.

“Hmph. That worked out well.”

I smiled and rubbed my nose.

Teacher… congratulations on escaping your single life. Was it worth waiting over 35 years?

“Shota….”

Mika seemed to have gotten hot and bothered by the sweet scene.

“Yeah. Yeah.”

I put my arm around Mika’s waist and gave her a light kiss.

That’s when my gaze fixed on something.

“Gah…! I, I lost…!”

Victory Man staggered to his feet.

Ah. This bastard was still here.

It was getting late into the night. Naturally, it was Psycho-Robo time.

“Come forth, Pinocchio Sword.”

I immediately waved my hand.

“Master!!”

Pinocchio transformed into a sword and settled in my hand.

“W-wait!! Please spare me!! Please!!”

Victory Man pleaded desperately.

“Y-you are a noble warrior!! I can tell just by looking at you!! In that sense… how about we have another match with a different event!!! Chances to fight the galaxy’s strongest killer are rare!!”

Victory Man began his pathetic begging for his life.

“No. You think that will work?”

Even Mika objected to the ridiculous proposal.

“T-then!!! Instead of Sashisuseso Aiueo… how about joining our Pink Beard Brigade?!! I’ll put in a good word for you!! Huh?!! The treatment will definitely be better!!”

Victory Man immediately attempted recruitment.

“Sorry, but I tend to side with the stronger party.”

I said as I raised my sword.

“I-if it’s the stronger side… wouldn’t Pink Beard’s side be better?”

Victory Man really seemed desperate to live.

My conversation with Victory Man was drawing the attention of the other aliens who had previously been enslaved.

At this point, I came up with a brilliant move.

What if I made Sashitsu the overlord of the galaxy? That thought occurred to me.

Since becoming friends with Sashitsu, I had made one resolution: to dump all troublesome things on Sashitsu.

That included fame. I intended to bestow fame upon Sashitsu. Because it would be annoying if I got the attention.

“No. Sashitsu is the strongest. I don’t even come close to the tip of Sashitsu’s toes. I’ll side with the stronger party.”

I declared.

Yes. I am the weakest.

“What the…”

Victory Man looked at me with confused eyes.

“So just die!!!!”

I immediately swung the Pinocchio Sword.

Swoosh-slish-slish-slish-slish-slish-!!!!!!

“Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes!!!!”

I sang a children’s song while horizontally slicing Victory Man into pieces.

“Spare me….. AAAAARGH!!!”

Before Victory Man could finish his sentence, his body began to be cut into horizontal slices.

SPLAAASH-!!!

Victory Man’s body was finely sliced like salami. Blue blood sprayed like a fountain in all directions.

With that, Victory Man met his end.

I belatedly realized that Mika was staring at the scene.

“Ah… Mika. Sorry. I showed you a brutal sight.”

I said.

“No. He’s obviously not human. I don’t feel much.”

Mika said calmly.

Phew… fortunately, Mika was a human supremacist. Right. Slicing aliens brutally didn’t evoke much emotion. As expected of my girlfriend!!

——–

Anyway, the incident was resolved.

The aliens who had been enslaved for a long time said they would return to their own planets on their own.

The writers at the scene seemed to find all of this unbelievable and abnormal.

However… humans are creatures that rationalize everything. Everyone just accepted it as some kind of collective hallucination from being too drunk.

Shotaro was the same. Not being an original writer, he had turned back into a doll. When he opened his eyes, the situation was already over, and Shotaro seemed to have decided to accept that he had simply blacked out.

Anyway, Mika and I were assigned a suite room as promised.

Plus, we had free access to the rooftop outdoor pool. They even offered to lend us swimwear.

“Well, you’re essentially renting the whole place, so feel free to use everything.”

Shotaro said with a kind smile.

We decided to use the outdoor pool first, before the suite room.

“Ooh… quite atmospheric.”

I smiled and patted Mika’s bottom.

“Indeed.”

Mika smiled sweetly and pressed her body tightly against mine.

Lights were coming from all directions. Those lights made the pool atmosphere thoroughly romantic.

Moreover… we were the only ones using the pool.

After splashing around leisurely in the pool, Mika’s eyes met mine.

When young men and women play in revealing outfits, a sensual atmosphere was inevitable.

“Mika. Dolphins mate underwater, you know?”

“What’s with that? Way to kill the mood.”

Mika chuckled and leaned toward me, pressing her chest against me. She was clearly seducing me.

“Just for today, want to play like dolphins?”

I said with a smile.

“Really… doing such things underwater… what a crazy idea.”

Mika said, but she was rubbing her thighs together. Her lower body was starting to get itchy.

Once we got in the mood, there was no holding back. Mika and I began the world’s most lewd splashing.

Sometimes becoming a dolphin might not be so bad. I genuinely thought so.

And with that, the small incident involving my date with Mika came to an end. Thanks to Mika, I felt like I had gained some strength.

———–

At that time, throughout the galaxy, the snowball effect caused by Arigiri Shota’s actions began rolling at tremendous speed.

The news that Victory Man, the galaxy’s strongest assassin and symbol of Pink Beard’s military might, had been horrifically killed by Arigiri Shota spread throughout the entire galaxy. There were too many witnesses.

Plus, it was sensational. It had been a long time since anyone in the galaxy had defied Pink Beard. And now, a group of humans from Earth, one of the underdeveloped planets on the outskirts, had properly humiliated Pink Beard.

On top of that, this Arigiri Shota made the shocking statement that he himself couldn’t even compare to the tip of “Sashisuseso Aiueo’s” toes.

‘Sashisuseso Aiueo… Sashitsu, was it? How strong must he be to command such a subordinate?’

People began to inflate Sashitsu’s existence.

And… the more they dug into Sashitsu’s existence, the more it became the stuff of legend. His accumulated career began to be reevaluated.

The war hero of Earth who delayed Pink Beard’s invasion of Earth by months.

The hero who destroyed Pink Beard’s elite clones and their factory. One who awakened the talent to simultaneously control six Psycho-Robos.

Skills powerful enough to pulverize the planet Pasca.

The winner of Lahitan’s War Festival.

Charisma and appeal strong enough to convert the space pirate Kirtan and Pink Beard’s associate Prill.

Cruel leadership that commanded the genocidal murderer Arigiri Shota, who had annihilated the Slime race, with just a nod.

Sashitsu was enough to become a symbol of resistance for everyone in the galaxy. Sashitsu instantly became a hero.

———

An organization called the ‘Multiverse Union’ responded quickly. It was an organization that ranked the military power of planets and warrior aliens. With the goal of avoiding unnecessary conflicts or wars by establishing rankings, they diligently updated their rankings every month.

“What was the military power ranking of the planet called Earth?”

The director asked.

“Ah… it was too low to be counted.”

The aide said.

“Good. Update Earth to 13th place in the universal military power ranking.”

The director ordered an unprecedented ranking increase.

“Yes, sir.”

However, there was no opposition. In fact, public opinion suggested that even this was a low ranking.

“And… put this Sashitsu fellow at 5th place in the galactic warrior ranking.”

The director said in a solemn tone.

“5th place……!!”

“Just below the Four Heavenly Kings of the galaxy…!!!”

“This will change the power order of the galaxy.”

Everyone began whispering with tremendous momentum.

And so, Sashitsu became the 5th ranked warrior in the galaxy. It was headline news throughout the universe.

Arigiri Shota had successfully dumped fame onto Sashitsu.
