A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

258- [Dominated Princess Edition]: Haze Skin

"Rickman... you don't have that, do you? They killed me with no one left! Fools who turned down your proposal for the sake of man. There's no reason to keep him alive."

"There's been a leak, that's what he says. Lisana is the half of the Rickman and Cat tribe. There's certainly their blood in her."

Ignotus stared straight at Mr. Lucius.

Against Mr. Lucius, I look back, but the intention is proof that it is not a lie.

Then, the look of Ignotus, who shifted his gaze to young Lisa, gradually turns into that of the one who understands the truth and is surprised.

"Vicious! Ferzen!

Suddenly, the cry of Ignotus, who changed his blood phase, echoed in the hall.

The two demons called by name surrounded Mr. Lucius and Mr. Lisa in an instant, as they responded to the cry.

"No way, you fished that pile of debris? A free bastard."

Ignotus with a nigga and a grin, but I also saw a rush there.

"The evil and abusive nature of your predisposition has become a vendetta. A mountain of bristles thanks to it. Surely there was nothing else. But I felt a little magic. I didn't know you couldn't even notice that, but what would Faust say if he saw you now?

"I'm not talking about a dead guy! I don't need a coward. Lucius, you too. Just put that Rickman down, motherfucker! I was supposed to get it. You're not supposed to need it, are you? If you're not interested in humans, you don't know anything about Rickman."

"I came to ask you that. The life you killed will never come back, but if the Demons are involved in humans, there will be another war. You don't know how much what you've done. If humans care about it, the Demons will perish easily, right?

"I'm not willing to go along with coward bullshit. Vicious! Ferzen! Keep Lucius down!

At that moment, the mouth of Vicious and Ferzen moved slightly - chanting.

Ignotas took his seat and turned his right hand, which followed the two of them with a magical light, towards Mr. Lucius.

"- Hidden down."

But at that time, Mr. Lucius muttered to them as they stood.

That was a small voice, but low and clear.

Then, as if even a cold breeze had blown in the hall, tension had increased, and when he noticed, the three demons, who were enchanting themselves around him, laying their hands on the floor and breathing roughly, staring at Mr. Lucius resentfully.

Can't your body move or don't try to get up.

I'm trembling like I'm cramped.

"I don't preach. so i don't intend to either. It's not like you guys are gonna listen to me honestly anymore, is it? You need to realize for yourselves. We need to understand what our actions mean. But the Rickman clan perished. I can't take that back anymore. And if we follow the traces of magic, humans notice in them. Man will surely understand that it is at the hands of the devil."

"Then!........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... You scared the shit out of me! You must be the Demon King! You can't even get us on our knees without Ruling!

"... we're not gonna talk about it"

Mr. Lucius takes Lisa's hand and starts walking to the entrance to the hall when he turns his back on Ignotas.

"I'll take care of this kid. It shall be our family. Hands are useless. If you touch even one finger... then I will not forgive you."

"That's mine... Rickman ha..."

"I'm not interested in your obsession or anything. If you know what I mean, make yourself comfortable. No more childish, stupid imitations of slaughter."

"You have no idea..."

Mr. Lucius doesn't turn around.

Vicious and Ferzen, like Ignotus, were staring at Mr. Lucius' back, who kept away.

"Just one person, you know what it's like to be a demon king born with human blood... inferior creatures?

"Brother..."

"Brother..."

"Ragpalos is the kingdom of demons! Our feelings continue to be scorned for being the weakest with only a tiny amount of human blood in it! You see! Lucius!"

"Brother, that's enough, Polon"

"Brother, that's enough. He'll never know."

"............... right"

Mr. Lucius stops in front of the door and squeals in a dark voice, "It's you who should understand," he said.

"I don't even want to understand the words of a nagging young man. Everyone has one or two tough things to do. I mistook it as just me and didn't expect others to understand..."

That was cold, words that had no magic but were as if they were letting off cold air.

At that moment, the surrounding scenery begins to be covered in darkness again.

In the meantime, for a moment, I felt like I could see Ignotus' stood eyes and his emotionless expression.

His mouth closed, his eyes as if he was holding nothing.

I could hear voices in my ears in a vision completely closed to darkness.

"Rickman!? Besides Lisana, Rickman... '

It is like a tree spirit, scattered around from the moment it is heard, and disappears.

Then I hear the next voice again.

"What did you do to Uranos!

"I didn't do anything!

I can hear Mr. Lucius and Ignotas.

Every time I heard a voice, I looked out into the dark.

'I shall leave this matter open. Ignotas... I'm watching you guys, aren't I?

"I didn't do anything..."

Some lonely Ignotas voice.

Then suddenly I heard the baby's voice.

"Lucius, what's this kid's name?

It's Mr. Electra's voice.

"Toatrica......"

'Bye... Toa. Rosalia, from today on, you're your sister too, aren't you?

"Yeah......"

Is that... Mr. Rosalia's voice?

I just looked around again and again wondering if anyone would show up anywhere.

Then the sight starts to distort there, and sights like the flowers and the sky start to appear again when the smoke is just as good.

Is this a lake......

"Sister, I want to be as beautiful as my sister"

Who is it?... No way...

I have a little girl in front of me.

Her hair is light pink and her skin is clear.

I feel as intimate as I've seen somewhere...... no way, Toa?

And right in front of me, there was a lake stretching out on one side.

But it's not that vast.

You can see the woods across the lake.

Little Toa was talking to the woman next door as she put her barefoot in the water and played with the blah blah.

"I'm sure Toa can be a much prettier princess than I am."

This man must be Mr. Rosalia.

Two grown toas and melons now.

On the same light pink hair as Toa, clear skin. Sapphire-like eyes.

She has longer hair than Toa and has a slight habit of tipping her hair.

"Really? Can you be like your sister?

"- Be a better and more beautiful princess than Rosalia"

There appeared another, another.

From the moment I saw that slightly overwhelmed, red-haired hair, I realized it was Cassandra.

But why is Cassandra here... he's a Chastain demon, isn't he?

That should be the Demon King, too.

Besides, there's no way Cassandra could be close to you two.

Cassandra's expression had a grin, and the expressions of the two people who saw Cassandra had a friendly grin.

Even if I had face-to-face knowledge, that's strange......

Cassandra, you're late.

Mr. Rosalia looked back with a deliberately infidel look.

"The work of the Demon King is tough. Not like Lucius."

"Cassandra!"

When he found Cassandra, he lifted his legs from the lake and rose, Toa jumped to Cassandra.

Why... why does Toa... care so much...

My head suddenly turned white in front of the sight that was supposed to make me smile.

And it's like I made some wrong choice...... I was attacked by guilt.

"Toa? Master Cassandra, right? Is Cassandra still the Demon King?

"This is rude... I'm doing quite well too, aren't I?

Mr. Rosalia and Cassandra were both laughing at a conversation that had no other love.

There is a smiling Toa between those two.

Toa's eyes looking at Cassandra are no different than those staring at Mr. Rosalia.

It's like the three of them are... sisters.

"What's wrong?

So suddenly Cassandra gave an unexpected look.

"I need to talk to you..."

"That's what you called it, isn't it? Tell me what? Because your sister will listen to you."

"It's a serious story... Apparently, I can't have children anymore. The Demons originally lack reproduction power, but in my case, they're the last in Kaisel."

"That's..."

"Oh... I'm not given a woman. This is a dead end for Chastain. Chastain does not recognize anyone but women as demon kings. Rosalia, I still lived a long time in this. You're still young in that regard. If anything happens to me... then I want you to succeed Chastain's demon king."

"Wait!? Me!? 'Cause I'm a Wolzwola demon, right? If I become the Demon King... the blood of Sher Stain will perish. Besides, I can't let you follow the Curtain Clan. They only know what you mean, don't they?

"Chastain is a clan of white snakes and demons. There may be more blood in the serpents than we do, but so does the Curtain Clan. Their ancestors were attacked inside by a confused white snake and reached this country with their lives. I accepted them like that. I don't know what it's like to lose a house, but I wondered if we could somehow support each other in the blood of the same snake. Rosalia? They're heartbreaking. Show me an understanding there and they will show me an understanding too"

"But... that's what I could do because I knew it was you. If Sher Stein were descendants of the White Cats and Demons, they wouldn't have opened their hearts to you"

"What are you talking about from earlier?

Toa was looking up at Cassandra's face, which looked serious.

"Hmm?... I don't have a princess. Toa......"

"Princess? Then Toa will be your princess!

Cassandra smiles back at the words of the innocent girl.

"Thanks...... Toa"

Toa was blushing her cheeks and an adorable grin on Cassandra's smile.

The seriousness is obscured by the look on Cassandra's face stroking Toa's head like that.

The look on Mr. Rosalia's face, staring at both of them, doesn't clear up somewhere either.

"Rosalia...... you wouldn't disagree with Chastain's people either. Everyone should be happy to accept it."

Lastly, Cassandra's figure is rolled in black smoke, and Toa and Mr. Rosalia disappear.

I was sent back to the dark world again.

"If you die, this country will end, okay?

"I know! I know! … no more hand application"

It was some hall there. I think it's the throne room.

There were only two people there, Ignotas and Cassandra.

Not Ragpalos...... Does having Cassandra mean Chastain?

It's a well-ventilated place.

Not even for ventilation, but lots of windows. Outside the window a balcony was visible.

Slightly dull white columns, floors and ceilings. I think it's probably that color from the beginning.

Relatively speaking in a room with a bright atmosphere.

"If Rosalia doesn't work, Toatrica is fine. Same for both. I guess Wolzwola's blood is the strongest after all. Anyone can do it if it's Wolzwola. Nothing. You don't have to stick to Rosalia. Besides, Toatrica is younger. It's convenient, right?"

At that moment, Cassandra disappeared.

I lost sight of it for a moment and noticed that Cassandra was riding to Ignotas and poking a knife around her neck.

"Heh heh heh heh! Are you going to kill me, Cassandra? You think I can kill you?

"I can do as much as I can to make a mistake...... I won't forgive you if you get your hands on Toa!

"Damn! You're someone else's kid, right? What are you drowning about? That's why you stay sweet forever. Isn't that nice? Toatrica was willing to do that, wasn't she?

"You... were watching?

"Occasionally. It's nothing, okay? The lake of origin is not Wolzoola's. Hey, Cassandra? Why don't you leave it to me?

"What?

There, silence flowed for a while.

And Cassandra opens up Ignotas, and Ignotas gets up as he pleases.

"You don't have much time, either, do you? You think you can live till Toa grows up? There is no king in Kaisel or Prauser, and the people do not recognize him. So, what do we do? Then we'll have to rely on Rosalia now, won't we? He's my best friend, he helps me. But if that doesn't work either, there's only Toatrica left. I... think Toatrica is the best."

Cassandra glanced at Ignotas with a sharp eye. But I won't say anything.

For some reason, I can't use Emotional Sensation right now, but Cassandra seemed lost.

"You haven't been able to act for a long time. Cassandra, say it again. Leave it to me. I'll convince Rosalia."

"But how? ……

"He's just worried about Toatrica. Let him rest in peace. Oh, it doesn't matter. I can only see Rosalia shaking her head vertically."

"But..."

"Only time passes for lost minutes. Waste of time only arises when actions are delayed. Waste will strangle you one of these days? No, that's not all there is to it. If we lose the king, the country will perish. It's easy, especially for Chastain. The answer is two choices. What do we do? This is not compulsory. I'm just saying I'm gonna help you."

Cassandra turned her back on Ignotas and shut up for a while staring at the empty throne.

"Okay. I'll leave you to it..."

"- Undertook"

I saw Ignotus' niggling and invincible grin.

Ignotas then picked up the knife that was falling on the floor without a sound.

That's what Cassandra was poking at Ignotas earlier.

It was as small as a survival knife, with a gripping tip - a round ornament on the patterned head (one hinge), where two bat-like feathers were painted.

While Cassandra was unaware, Ignotas disappeared with that knife in one hand.
