A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

The plan seemed to succeed. Until Julia and Eira get out of this conference room. Claudia's boundaries were perfect. But on her estimate, that meant...

In fact, Julia and Ella slipped through the border... and went straight to a city that turned into a battlefield of hell. Not only the Premium vs. the Mage, but also the Principal First Class vs. the Queen... I think so, but the situation is already moving. I couldn't stop it anymore.

And with Julia defeating the ancient spider Ancient Spider, their plan will come to a halt. Still, I won't give up on that. With the death of many humans, only the magic elements gathered enough. All you have to do is gather the four people who will be the medium to open the Cephalotto Tree. There are still plenty of opportunities. It's not a failure. Yes, but Claudia was still stunned to see the streets with large claw marks.

……

View the ravaged city from the terrace on the top floor of the castle. It was home to burnt buildings and what could be called hell stained with blood. Only a few hours had passed since the fire had been extinguished, leaving definite nail marks.

Claudia, you're here.

"... Cyrus"

It was Cyrus who came on the spot. When she sees that he has come, she stretches the line on the spot. It was created to block audio.

"What's the matter, do you regret it?

"... that's not true."

I see. I'm serious, but the individual... looks dead. He killed me. "

"What about the recovery?

"Just the wreckage. But it turns out that humans can't become demons in their entirety. I can get as close as I can, but I don't think I'm going to be able to make a replacement for those four."

"That's right...."

They are referring to Dan. Plans to turn humans into demons. It was a backup plan to create a medium other than Julia's... but, as hypothesized, humans cannot become demons. I was trying to find something in Twilight Syndrome, but it was still a disease. Even if I just found out the fact, it's a shame. All you have to do is think about the timing of gathering those four and take action. That's what we were talking about, but Claudia was in the air. I talked with Cyrus and I remember the contents.

But it was nothing that dominated her mind.

I came so far to restrain my deviant heart. And even though it was going to happen, and the next thing I knew... she didn't feel anything.

"What do I want to do..."

Ask yourself, Cyrus is no longer here. Even after he left, Claudia stared at the streets and then at dusk. Red and black light covering this sky. It still illuminates the world.

Whether this happens to humans or not, dusk alone will not change. It seemed as though she was laughing at the present state of mankind, but she was purely questionable.

I wonder what is at the end of my actions...

"Hey, what do I want?

Put your hands on your face. And I thought, "When I started thinking, I wanted to see the blue sky ahead of dusk." I want to know the truth about this world. It's rooted in desire. But before I knew the truth about this world and fulfilled my purpose of seeing the blue sky... what was there? No, I'm sure there's nothing. I realize that such expectations are meaningless. In the first place, humans and demons. That's not all. There is no great significance to living creatures in this world. The only thing that's alive is the genes. Instinct only encourages survival and species conservation. That is why she has come this far by defining her own meaning of life.

But when I get closer to that goal... I don't know. I don't know what to do anymore...

"Did you notice the many sacrifices in front of you?

That's what I asked myself when I was young. Claudia answers her questions.

"That's not true. I just do what I want to do."

"Then why are you stopping here all the time?

"That's...."

"Hey, don't you regret it? I don't feel guilty about killing so many people."

"That's not true."

I was her when I was young to ask. It's a mirage. It's just a hallucination. Still, she had no choice but to make it look real. I wonder if my deep psychology is making this up, but right now... I just wanted to expose myself.

"Then why are you stopping? Claudia, you decided to move on, didn't you? No matter how great a sacrifice you make. Didn't you take an oath when you killed the doctor? Hey...."

I miss you, Doctor.

That's what I remember. The hatred he sometimes showed was real. I really had the idea of killing the demons. But at the same time, it was true that I really loved her. Claudia killed him without hesitation. This is how I've forgotten my existence so far. It doesn't matter to her. There is no difference from the statues that are there. Yes... I thought so.

"Let's go. I'll definitely make it."

"Good luck, me."

Say goodbye to your young self. I decided not to think about the emotions that had sprouted in my mind.
