Hayato Masaki

## Background

Saga Empire's Hero at the start of the story. Hayato was summoned at the age of 14 and started off as level 50. He's the wielder of the holy sword, Arondight.

Described as a justice minded fool, Hayato deliberately acts brash and overconfident in order to protect and reassure his companions. This is evident in the way he boisterously announces his own arrival at any battle, which acts as a powerful taunt to refocus his enemies's attention towards himself and to inspire and take the pressure off his allies.

He is an unrepentant lolicon.

## Appearance

At 23 years old, he is handsome with a masculine and stalwart face. He has short black hair like an athlete, and his macho body is usually cladded in his distinctive blue hero armor.

## Equipment

* Arondight, a Holy Sword.
* Tunas, a Holy Armor. Fitted with a Philosopher's Stone which acts as a core to provide extra magic power.
* Flying Boot.

## Plot

### Lesseu City

During the battle against the Lesseu Demon, Zena witnesses the arrival of Hero Hayato late in the battle. Hayato and his air ship make short work of the demon and his army, saving the young Earl Lesseu and his army from a disastrous defeat.

### Oyugock Capital

While waiting onboard their airship for his companions to finish investigating the recent oracles related to demon lord appearances, Hayato and his party are suddenly summoned to the Oyugock Capital by Ringrande using her Talisman of Divine Gift. The Jule Verne arrives above the arena and finds it under attack by a host of monster led by the yellow-skinned demon, a powerful demon which had once forced Hayato to flee at the cost of the lives of half of his previous party. Presented with a chance to wipe away his past regrets and exact vengeance upon his fated foe, Hayato and his party engages the demon in battle.

Hayato exchanges blows with the demon but are gradually pushed back by the demon using magic edge on its regenerating elongated fingernails and its counterattack of powerful flame magic. Any damage inflicted against the demon being greatly reduced by it's scaly barriers, which is then immediately healed by the summoned [Cure Balls] surrounding the demon.

Hayato however is soon joined by his companions who (with Satou helping from the shadows) have managed to contain the demon's monster minions. Hoping to wipe out the demon in one shot, the hero party's 3 spellcasters use their Talisman of Divine Gift, and start a forbidden spell chant for tactical magic against the demon. Unfazed and tired of waiting for his subordinates to appear, the demon summons its trump card: the Great Monster Fish - Tovkezeera, the legendary level 97 monster that once acted as the air fortresses for the Golden Boar Lord. Out of options, Hayato orders the valuable Jules Verne into battle, hoping the air ship's main battery powered by Arondight as it's core would be powerful enough to kill the monster fish. Mocking the hero's continued determination to fight, the demon points toward the still active summoning circle which proceeds to summon Tovkezeera until seven appear above the Oyugock arena. Now faced with a truly hopeless situation, Hayato accepts his death is near while uttering a quiet complaint to Goddess Parion.

Unbeknown to Hayato and the demon, Satou who had finished helping people escape from the arena was overjoyed that a chance to gain a huge amount of rare whale meat had suddenly presented itself. Using his newly learnt [Laser] multiple times and the [Condense] skill to focus them into a single powerful laser attack, Satou decapitates the seven Tovkezeera, before immediately placing their corpses into [Storage].
