- Demonic kingdom.

It is a very good species of land in the Banome continent.

And it is the demons who control the land.

So what's so good about the Demons?

- It's magic.

Demons are born with strong magic.

Its details do not even appear in the status, and its strength can only be seen in the exchanges of moves with the Demons.

And the amount of magic is immense, and it is not comparable to that of men.

A magician is a human word.

That permeates beasts, dwarves, etc., and is a common language throughout the continent.

But it has nothing to do with the Demons.

The Demon Clan masterfully manipulates magic, but does not call itself the Demon Master.

That's because for them, magic is more natural than multiracial.

dwelling in the demon, born of the demon, and living with the demon, returning to the demon.

- That is the Demon Nation.

The demonic kingdom has three kings and three territories with it.

One aimed at Toa, Shastein the Devil Nation.

The king's name is Cassandra Rosev Chastain.

The only king of women in the demonic kingdom.

The second is Ragpalos, the demonic kingdom.

The king's name is Ignotas Rosev Ragpalos

And this country, which is also the home of Toa at the end.

Wolzwola, the demonic kingdom.

The king's name is Lucius Rosev Urzuola.

He is Toa's father.

It divides the demonic kingdom into three parts, each ruling its own territory.

This is the reality of the demonic kingdom.

Sufilia told me what she knew about the Devil's Country.

"That's all I know. Above all, the Demon Nation is a closed country, and there are rumours that it doesn't bring humans in particular."

Sufilia prefaced that she didn't know the details and told me with her predictions, but she wouldn't be particularly wrong.

That demon tribe that attacked Toa had an unreasonable aversion to me, a human being.

That can be called discrimination.

Is it because the Demons are the most powerful species?

It's a common story.

By and large, humans are weak. And stupid.

From his words and expression, that's what I feel right now.

"So? Why was Toa hiding that? This is the first time I've ever heard of you, Princess of the Devil Nation. What's the story?

"Oh, that's..."

Toa keeps looking down and doesn't try to keep an eye on me.

"It's nothing. I don't care if you're a princess, or a village girl or I am, but I promised I'd send you home for now, so I'm going to send you home properly, and if you mean home, I'm going to the Devil's Country, and you have something on your mind and I can't tell you right now, I hope you still say it then..."

There's something I can't tell anyone.

That's when I get sick of being forced to ask.

It makes it unnecessarily difficult to answer.

Toa would have something like that.

That's why I still don't answer, I guess I'm looking down.

Well, you must think it's just bad.

"By the way, Toa, is it good to let him get away? Well, there's nothing I can do about it, but maybe he'll bring his people back again, huh? I don't know one day, though, do I?

"Huh?!

Then Toa looked up in momentum and looked surprised at my words.

No, no, no!

Not "Huh?!" right? I told you. Isn't that why you should kill him?

"Oh no... then... not like this... another nuisance to the college..."

"No, you're not, you worry about yourself, okay? It's Toa they're after, right? We could get hit by a lot of people next time."

"Bye! Why didn't you kill me?! See you at the academy! ……

What? …

"No, because Toa tells you not to kill him, right? Besides, did I tell you? You're saying it's dangerous if you don't kill him?

"I didn't ask you! That's not true!"

"I told you earlier.

"That's why I didn't ask!

"You did say that, didn't you? I also took a few confirmations."

"I didn't say it!

"I said!

"I said I didn't!

To the boulder. So I stopped saying it back.

It's not because I'm scared.

I don't know why, but it was because Toa didn't even look like she was lying or being solitary.

It felt like Toa wasn't really listening to me.

Because my voice was so small? No, but I also made a proper catch ball of words then...

……

I don't know. I don't know, but I feel uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, when I left, he said something odd like, 'It's not healed yet'...

What does that mean?

Of course it would be about Toa.

Toa is the only one who knows that demon tribe on this occasion, so I'm pretty sure that's...

"Toa? You got some kind of illness or something?

"Sick? No, but... healthy? Suddenly what?

"Phew..."

Healthy...

So, for example...

"So, for example, is there a mental illness or something? Anything on your mind?

"What if there isn't?! What are you talking about?

"No... it's fine if you don't... when you were little, were you weak or something? You didn't even have a doctor, did you?

"That's why I said no! I'm a demon, right? Because you're still strong."

Mmm...... I don't know.

The more I ask, the less I know.

But I don't think something's meshing.

Above all, something seems a little different from the earlier Toa and now Toa...

"... what?

Toa's cheek turns red when I stare at her complexion.

"Mmm... you always have the same complexion..."

"Hey, what?! You still suspect?!

"No, nothing..."

I don't doubt anything.

I'm just worried because I trust you.

"Speaking of which, why was Toa caged in the castle?

I just thought, we're always together, and I don't know anything about Toa.

I just found out about my hometown.

"That's... your father says it's dangerous out there..."

I see, is Toa's father the type to drown his daughter?

This is troublesome face-to-face.

"Is there only one family?

"No, I have a mother and a sister."

Speaking of which, that demon said Toa was a demon sister like Rosalia...

"I see, Rosalia is Toa's sister's name."

"How do you know your sister's name?!

"Hmm? Yeah, I just heard it from the Demons."

But that's not enough information.

If Toa knows something and doesn't want to say it but she's just hiding it for it, I don't mind, but what is this discomfort?

Am I thinking too much?

I have a particularly troubling habit...

"Why did you just say," Don't kill me ”?

"Huh? 'Cause normally, you don't kill me, do you?! It's wrong to kill anything because it's strong right away!

To put it right, it's true.

It's the usual Toa.

"Then why did you blame me now for not killing me?

"Because Nito says it's going to strike again... it's going to annoy the college again..."

I'm still not engaged.

"Okay. That's good. Then why did you come out of the store?

"That being said, you are..."

That's when Sufilia pinched her mouth as she remembered.

"Hmm?"

"No, it's not a big deal, but after Nito got out with that demon tribe, Toa suddenly took up his seat without saying anything"

"Toa was scared earlier..."

Nem next door has a mixed look of worry and anxiety.

"So?... you got up and went straight out?

"Yes, I thought it was strange because I don't answer anything when I talk to you..."

So I move my gaze toward Toa while he looks down.

"Toa, why did you come outside earlier? Is something wrong?

But Toa doesn't try to answer.

"What did you want from me?

"I don't know..."

That's what Toa said in a voice so small that he could barely hear it.

Something's wrong.

Looks like it's not the usual Toa.

"Well... then why did you tell me not to kill you when you came out? That's when you explained it, right? Because he's dangerous if you let him get away with it?

"I don't know..."

Toa answers Boso with a small voice again.

Obviously things are not right.

I've never seen Toa like this before.

Sufilia also looks strange.

I checked with Suphilia with eye contact, but she didn't know.

Toa looked up a little slowly, but from that look I could see the bewilderment.

"Toa? Don't you remember? Toa told you, didn't he? You want me to let him go?

"I don't know..."

Eyes like pupils open.

And I don't have a point of view.

"Toa? Something's wrong."

Nem worrying next door.

"Toa? Are you okay?

The boulder Suphilia is also concerned.

"[Conditional Anomaly Healing (Effect Heel)] ……"

It's not normal.

Obviously, it's weird.

He said he wasn't sick or anything, but this is obviously...

"Toa, you don't have to think about it anymore. Just breathe slowly."

Toa's face was bright blue and her lips purple.

And trembling hands in small pieces.

Breathing is rough.

What the hell is going on with Toa?

Besides, what is this?

In the Toa, there are a number of emotions in the mess.

Words can't explain it.

Sometimes it's hard for me to feel positive emotions.

But this...

"Are you sick?

Caring nem.

It's just plain confusing on the surface.

But this ability of mine, with negative emotions, can be felt by any little thing.

What I'm feeling right now is a slight sadness.

But that's supposed to be slight, but it's a very big, strong grief.

But Toa herself doesn't seem to recognize it.

I'm unconsciously saddened, should I say?

Toa herself is just baffled, and that's not as clear as you can call emotion.

It feels like watching 'Vortex' if you insist.

The center of that vortex.

- Behind it, I see sadness.

"Are you all right?

I mopped Toa's back.

... Sorrow.

I don't know what caused this.

But the last thing I know is more of another emotion.

- Intention to kill.

From the depths of Toa, I feel an unidentified dos dark thing.

I don't know if it's just excessive enough for me to feel more negative emotions, or if this is what I'm supposed to be 'emotions'.

But I feel 'intent to kill' clearly.

But I know this emotion, too.

Most importantly, it's still in me.

This is...

"Toa? Are you okay?

Then Toa's face, which was blue and white, was back to normal.

The color of the lips is normal.

I'm not shaking my hands, and my eyes are natural.

Breathing still feels a little tired, but it's pretty much better than just now.

"Toa?"

"I'm already... okay... so"

Toa reacted as if she didn't know I was next door until then, and she said so without panic.

And at the same time, 'grief' and 'intent to kill' had disappeared from inside Toa.

- "'Nevertheless... I didn't know you weren't cured yet? Cook Cook......'"

――――

Reminds me of his words.

But I don't know what that means.

Toa's... what's "not healing”?
