"That is surely the color of the spilled blood he basked in."
―Germaine[src]


A Hero's Armor is Always Crimson is a song released by Akuno-P on August 7, 2016. It is the ninth song of The Daughter of Evil Series, portraying the war exploits of Leonhart Avadonia and his eventual adoption of Germaine.

Description[]

The head of the Daughter of Evil's royal guard, Leonhart. Once, he was one of the Three Heroes serving under the great king.

Plot[]

A fearsome knight that had won many bloody victories on the battlefield walks through a ruined town. Finding a dead woman with a baby, he raises his sword. Five years after taking in the baby, he visits the girl at their temporary home; having realized that she was a member of the Beelzenian Imperial Family, the knight believed she might be a useful hostage someday.

One day, robed enemies approach the knight and his "daughter", a strange old woman demanding he hand her over. Despite their interests happening to match his, the knight hesitates and the girl runs in front of him protectively. Moved, the knight acts to defend the girl instead, resolving to be like a real father to her.

Lyrics[]

戦が終わり荒れ果てた町を
一人の騎士が歩く
彼は誰より戦果を挙げた
誰より人を殺した

敵国の民はその姿恐れ
必死に命乞いをする
しかしその願いを彼が
聞き入れることは決してない

女の亡骸が抱えた
無邪気に微笑む赤子
彼は冷たい眼のまま
剣を振り上げた

英雄の鎧は常に紅く
それはきっと浴びた返り血の色
誰かのための行いだとしても
それを「正義」と呼べるのか

それから五年の月日が流れ
戦は今日も続く
騎士を仮住まいで待つのは
一人の可憐な少女

あの時彼女の服に縫われた
皇家の紋に気づいた
手元に置いておけばいつか
人質くらいにはなるだろう

「お帰り父さん」と微笑む
無邪気で愚かな娘
お前の親を殺したのは
この俺だというのに

英雄の鎧は常に紅く
それはきっと彼の野心と同じ色
誰かのための行いだとしても
それを「正義」と呼べるのか

戦場には様々なものが
はびこっている
勝利 敗北 憎しみ 時の運
そして裏切り
気が付けば騎士は
大勢の敵に囲まれていた
彼らがただの兵士でないことは
明らかだった

「おとなしく娘を差し出せ」
と迫る黒装束の老婆
従えばおそらく
娘の命はないだろう
しかしそれは騎士にとって
望むところだったはず
そのためにこの子を今まで
飼っていたのだから

剣を持ち騎士を守るように
前に立った者がいた
震えてる小さな背中
それは幼いあの子だった

憐れな娘よ
お前が父と慕う者は
今まさにお前を売ろうとしていたというのに

騎士は娘の頭を優しく撫でた後
殺し屋に向かって剣を抜いた……

英雄の鎧は常に紅く
それはきっと浴びた夕焼けの色
血塗られた時代の中 手を繋いで
歩いていく騎士と娘

戦場には正義も悪もない
贖罪の日はいつかやって来るだろう
やがて来るその時まで彼は
「父」でいようと決意した

In a town that fell to ruin at the end of a battle
A lone knight walks through
He'd earned more military gains than anyone
He'd killed more people than anyone

The people of the enemy nation fear his form
And they desperately beg for their lives
But he never
Grants their wish

A woman's corpse tightly held
An innocently smiling baby
With cold eyes
He lifted his sword

A hero's armor is always crimson
That is surely the color of the spilled blood he basked in
Even if these are deeds for someone's sake
Can you call that "justice"?

Five years flowed on since then
And the battle continues today
Waiting for the knight at a temporary home
Is a lone, sweet girl

Back then he'd noticed stitched on her clothes
Was the Imperial family's crest
If he had her on hand, one day
She might be useful as a hostage

Foolish, innocent girl
Who smiles and says "Welcome home, Dad"
You do this even though I myself am the one
Who killed your parents

A hero's armor is always crimson
That is surely the same color as his treachery
Even if these are deeds for someone's sake
Can you call that "justice"?

On the battlefield
Various things are
Running rampant
Victory, defeat, hatred, chance luck
And betrayal
Before he knew it, the knight
Was surrounded by a great many enemies
It was obvious that
They weren't ordinary soldiers

"Quietly submit to us that girl,"
Urged an old woman in black clothes
If he complied,
They would probably murder her
But for the knight
That must have been a desired outcome
Because it was for that reason
He'd been keeping her until now

There was someone who held a sword
And stood in front of the knight to protect him
A small, trembling back
It was the young girl.

Pitiful girl
You do this even though the one you love as a father
Was just about to try selling you off

After the knight gently patted the girl's head
He faced the assassins and drew his sword...

A hero's armor is always crimson
That is surely the color of the twilight he basked in
Walking hand-in-hand in that bloodstained era,
Is a knight and a girl

On the battlefield there is neither justice nor evil
The day of atonement will come someday
Until that time finally arrives
He's decided to be a "father"

親子の真似事か…
…下らん

そうさ…何も迷う事なんかない
なのに…どうして…
俺は…!

父親なんて柄じゃない
誇れるような生き方もしていない
それでもいいと言ってくれるなら
俺はお前を守る鎧になってやる
さあ 行こうか

…Sorry

A make-believe parent and child…?
…How idiotic

That’s right…I don’t have any doubts
So then…why…
I…!

I’m not suited to being a father
And I don’t lead a life I can be proud of
But if you say it’s alright even so,
I will become the armor that protects you
Well then, shall we go?
