- "Hero Nito! Stop the demon raid!"

……

- "Hero Nito! I can be interrogated heretically! What is the heart of the king of Hachi?"

……

"Ha..."

I closed my demonic correspondence and put it on the table.

“The hero Nito just saved people" … this is what was posted in the demonic correspondence.

“And the seven kings, whether it be or not, are about to question the hero heretically, and judge him."

“Outrageous?"

Or conspiracy?

While I'm talking about myself, I feel uncomfortable with the articles in the Satanic Correspondence.

Looking at the end of the article, it said "Francesca Cardner”.

"Huh... Francesca..."

Have you pinched your personal feelings...

I don't know why, but Francesca seems to be on my side.

The content of the article is the anti-royalists themselves.

Nearly a week has passed since then.

Dorms in Heilkwestern. Meadow area visible even through its windows.

The scars on the battlefield have not healed yet.

The demonic body was abandoned, even the body of the demon king Cassandra.

- "If you're a beast, you still don't have to go out of your way to retrieve and mourn the bodies of demons who aren't even human."

That was what the humans said.

Then I went back to the battlefield alone, and gathered the remains of the demons I had killed in one place with "mindfulness power", sprinkled a large quantity of “flammable material” that I had bought in the town of Qatar, and set fire to it.

I don't know how to mourn in this world, but I chose cremation.

By doing so, at least, I wanted to atone for my sins.

A little bit of the abyss will settle in... but the fact that you killed the Demons remains the same.

The weight of this heart will never go away.

I killed my own dreams.

After that, I called Ver again and had the “swallowed” part back.

I mean, I've been swallowed up again in this case.

Ignoring Ver's words, which advised me so 'don't doubt', I was swallowed up by the abyss myself.

Still safe, Ver said, probably because that was Toa's wish.

Toa, by the way, but it took me a day to regain consciousness.

After the battle, I immediately transported Toa to the dorm.

And the next day, until Toa woke up, he was beside me all the time.

Toa was feeling better immediately, and there was “usual Toa” instead of “Toa then”.

- "Thank you, Masamune. Now this girl is your thing."

Reminds me of the words' Toa '.

I don't know what that word meant...... I haven't heard it from him yet.

I just asked that, and Toa would say she doesn't remember.

Like right now...

"I don't remember..."

"... right"

♪ I don't know, I don't know, I didn't say ♪

That's what Toa said when I asked.

But the expression made me feel uncomfortable.

I stopped talking about this when it was useless to ask.

I don't think that's for Toa.

If you think for Toa, you should make Toa realize even if it takes time.

But now I was worried about myself.

What are we gonna do with the three of you?

Toa delivers to Wolzwola, the demonic kingdom.

Sufilia sends to the prophet.

Nem... what should Nem do?

Do you want me to leave you in the Devil's Country?

Will the Demons tolerate the Beasts?

……

But I have a duty to help.

If the three of you still want to, you should still let them accompany you on your journey, because no one wants to leave me at the moment, then it would be wrong for you to think about this...

Rather than think about it, I'm worried.

I should think more.

We should be more calm and let our thoughts go around.

After all these years, that's the only way I can solve a problem.

By the way, everyone found out that Toa was the daughter of the Demon King, but no one asked Toa.

There is no emotion or dust to blame Toa, but the central figure in this one is Toa above all.

Then at least Toa should be interrogated.

Why isn't anybody here? On the contrary, I'm scared.

But there are things to think about. I guess it's because I'm here.

I'm by Toa's side in the first place, including for that reason.

If the unconscious Toa were to be assassinated, I'd be like the “I” of the future.

I don't know when Toa will see “the result”.

That's why I can't leave.

Yesterday, a man named “heretical inquisition” came to my room.

He left as soon as he told me that there were some charges against me and the schedule for the heresy.

Then I heard the sound of knocking on the door of the room again, and when I opened it, there was the figure of Schneizer, king of Darmsaldan.

"It will only take a few minutes," he said, inviting him to the room, leaving with some explanations about the heresy and, finally, the advice, "Answer all honestly” and then "Do not touch the abyss”.

That's what we talked about yesterday.

Where I don't know, there's something going on.

I learned that feeling.

I've only talked to Nem and Toa and about Suphilia since then, and I haven't talked to Patrick, of course.

A “friend” has never visited me since that day.

I'll probably be expelled and I'll have to leave this college, but I want to talk to you by then.

I want to at least finish my goodbye greeting and then travel.

I was thinking about that, it was then.

"I'm up for you!

Then the door opened, along with the sound of knocking on the room.

"Is it time already?

"Yes."

It was Schneizel's use that showed up there.

These guys usually wear golden armor, but now they're wearing things like white coats.

"Nito......"

Toa looks at this one worried.

It's not just Toa. Nem and Sufilia, too.

"Let's go. Keep an eye on me back there."

On this day, at the venue, there will be a heretical interrogation.

Of course I'm the heretic.

The Inquisitor will deliberate, and I will be judged by the “world”.

There was an audience seat available at the venue, and he said he could take all three of them.

Keep your masks and robes on.

I'm being taken to use Schneizel, and I'm leaving the room behind.

Then the three follow from behind.

Maybe this is the last time I'll see this hallway or school building today.

No, expulsion would naturally be inevitable.

Because he killed a student.

But there are no more pessimistic feelings there.

This wasn't the kind of studio I thought it was.

Either way, I'm leaving college already.

Naturally, but no anxiety.

The look on the faces of the three behind is cloudy, but if you think about it a little, you'll see.

- No one can kill me.

Even SSS ranked adventurers were to that extent.

It's a clap. The greatness of the Demon King stains itself.

If it wasn't for me, the Demon King would be the strongest in the world.

It was Schneizel who told me that.

Schneizel said that protecting people and schools from the Demons should be considered.

So don't worry, I got advice that I just need to be grand.

Schneizel seems to be sheltering me.

It's a strange story that a king of a nation protects his adventurers, but he must be wary of the empire.

That's what he said he needed me to deal with the Empire.

So you can't seem to kill me here.

At the same time, if the Empire wages war on the world, it means I'm forced to join the war.

- "Help instead of help."

That would be the case.

Within doing so, we cross the main entrance of Heilkwaite, and then we see the venue in front of us.

The venue collapsed and collapsed as the Demons progressed.

At present, rubble and other items were recovered, where there were no walls and only listening seats surrounding the centre were available.

In other words, all the places that were in the audience during the counter-school battle are hearing seats for heretical interrogation.

Venue with collapsed walls and fully integrated with the outside.

I was led through the hearing room and into the venue.

360 degrees, listening seats.

Is this heretical interrogation... unusual.

It's like being exposed.

surrounding hearing seats surrounding heretical interrogation.

But when it comes to hearing seats, they are all white.

He hides his face with a white pointed hat and his whole body with a white robe.

Does that mean there are no “ordinary customers” here?

They are all spinners of power.

Space reserved at the centre of the venue.

I was led there, in place.

Seats for the Inquisitor are available on the left and right.

Four on the left, three on the right.

All of them, hiding to their faces, wrapping around to see their pointed white robes.

Almost everyone who can see from here is dressed in that outfit.

'White'...... are you trying to say that we are clean?

And on the front, Inquisition Director Manyoska was looking down at me from Sandalwood.

The name was written on the name plate immediately next to it.

Manyoska also wears a white outfit, but her face is exposed.

Mañoska, with thin-haired gray hair with scalp, small fat, and round glasses, got me in position, and she stepped out and peered into the round eyeballs from above her glasses.

Immediately behind me stands Marutai, stiffened with straw and firewood.

As soon as the charges are handed down, if you're guilty, I'll be tied up in the whole of my back and sentenced to a burning sentence.

It is a truly simple and efficient trial.

On the other side there are three specially reserved listening seats, with the appearance of Toa, Nem and Sufilia.

All three of you will be looking at my back anxiously.

Then, before Manyoska started the heresy interrogation, he told me to take off my mask first.

But you can't take this mask.

"I was cursed by some. Immediately after exposure to the bare face, it is a curse that the people around you are indiscriminately deadly. Therefore, this mask cannot be removed until the time of death. I can handle more magic than the 'Wand Speak' class, but this curse is so powerful that even those magics can't be cursed. If you still say so, I'll take it off..."

"... I see. If that's what you mean, I'll allow you to wear it."

Let me tell you something.

Then Mañoska coughed up and repartitioned.

"Better than this, then! We're holding a heretical inquisition!

At that time, with the words of Manyoska, the heretical inquisition began.

"Divergent Nito! You are guilty of murder and disrespect, and numerous suspicions. Therefore, in heresy, all of it shall be deliberated."

Then Manyoska turns the booklet at hand.

"First of all, you have an extra game against the school, during that game. In the face of the audience, there is the indisputable fact that the murder was committed openly. The victim is Sinya Kyogok, a student of the Fishanatika School of Magic and Magic. Any objections on this matter?

"None."

I answered honestly.

"Then next..."

The heretical interrogation proceeds smoothly.

"- To get to the point at this heretical interrogation, you (what?) are suspected of kidnapping the Princess of the Devil's Country, and of being Teng himself, who induced the raid of the Devil's Country Chastain and created the cause of the damage in the Games now. In the heretical inquisition, before commencing consultations with the Inquisitor, we demand unmistakable details from the heretic Nito regarding this demonic raid. Then it's the heretic nito. Do you swear to follow the magic of Adams and speak the truth without lies and falsehoods?

I didn't expect a guy who wasn't even a Demon Nation to suspect the kidnapping of the Demon King's daughter... then what?

If that's true, will you guys judge me?

Totally, ridiculously.

"I swear."

"Okay, let's go over the details."

And I, as instructed, gave details about this series of disturbances.

Toa and I met accidentally on the journey, occasionally, in a village we stopped by, at which point we didn't know she was the daughter of the Demon King.

And it was only recently that I learned that Toa was the daughter of the Demon King, and that the trigger was contact with a person named Kaisel, an executive of Shastein, the demon kingdom.

"Then why didn't you hand over the Princess of the Devil's Kingdom at that point?

Manyoska asked.

"Toa is the princess of Wolzoola, the demon kingdom, and not an associate of Shastein, the demon kingdom. Handing over Toa to Chastain means hostility to Wolswola, the demonic kingdom, provoking war..." Wait... "

Then Mañoska blocks my explanation.

"Your objections will be confirmed later. Now just state the facts."

"... ok"

Every word a heretic speaks is' dissent '.

As a premise, it is out of the question and not accepted as an opinion.

Or is it in the boulder? But it seems possible.

"I declined Kaisel's request. Kaisel then returned to the country, and then there was a demonic raid. That's the facts about the raid."

"Now, Inquisitor, allow the question. The heretic Nito authorises the Inquisitor to state the facts and opinions"

Then the first to raise his hand was the Inquisitor of the Kingdom of Pascantine.

The king's name is Tom Pearl. It is the kingdom of the kings that had seized Nem before.

"I'd like to know the rest of what you said earlier, but I hope your act of turning over the princess to Chastain's demon clan deserves hostility to Wolzwola, the demon kingdom? If they'd let that Kaisel get away with it, they'd have expected a raid later. Why didn't you take any action? Or if you had left the land, this raid could have even been prevented yet. The specific suspicion that is now placed on you is the crime of conspiracy. I mean, I suspect you're a demon kingdom spinner. Tell us about it."

Pascantine...... it's about that pig king.

You want to put me to death somehow.

The Pascantine Inquisitor spoke from his voice and looked like a woman.

"First of all, I could not anticipate the fact that Chastain would carry out the raid. It's your overestimation of that. I don't have that much good intelligence with me. And secondly, with regard to not leaving the land, there was also a combination with the counter-school match, which did not come to that idea. The principals at both schools strongly told me that they wanted me to go to the game, so that was all I had in mind. But even if I had left the land, it would have never prevented them from raiding. Because it's only convenient for us."

"I mean... what does that mean? Please answer concisely."

For a moment, the inquisitor was as irritated as he had caused hysteria.

"The place where Kaisel found Toa was this land, and it was this land that set the goal. Whether I leave the land or not, they act on the assumption that Toa is here. That's what Kaisel himself told me about this raid. They raided the land in the first place, which is why. It is certainly possible that it was prevented before. But if that's a sin, I stayed here and stopped the demons from attacking, so I want you to take that fact into account."

Then the inquisitor of Toyota Derms Aldan joins the story.

"Sure, this raid, but without you, the Demons would not have stopped moving and the damage would not have been done to this extent. The two traditional schools could have come to an end. This situation is the result of your presence."

"But there is also information that the Devil's aim was the heretics themselves!

Suddenly, it was the Inquisitor of the Kingdom of Utopia who said so.

"Didn't you say that that unusual number of demons were all things prepared for this heretic? Doesn't that mean that if the heretics weren't here, this raid itself wouldn't have happened in the first place? Hmm?... May I summon a reference person?

"- Allow"

Then, at the same time as Manyoska's words, there appeared the SSS rank adventurer Brahms.
