At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"Uh, sleepy"

Whimpering over lunch. Why is it meat when you wake up?

It's so thick, steak. It's hard even if they put you to bed. Like, soup or something would be nice.

Haku looks so delicious.

... Kroto is eating rarely. I think you're hungry because it moved yesterday.

"I guess it's because you won't let me sleep..."

"Ah, cunning! That's cunning!

I argue because Inai has blamed me for the lack of sleep while keeping his eyes under control.

I was the better lead in the first half, but Inai came looking for me in the second half.

I don't care if they blame me. No, I was happy to respond. I didn't have any bad feelings. Either that or Inai is cute because she sweetens up about every hour of the day.

"Yes, yes, both. I don't blame people for being so sweet in the second half of your life."

"Si, Sigal ~"

Mr. Sigal cut the bass. Strong. Mr. Sigal is the strongest man on this side of the story.

I don't feel like I can beat Sigal even by myself and Inai in the first place. I mean, Sigal, it sounds like fun to be Inai...

Yeah, let's not think about that for a second from noon.

Just eat the carnivore in front of you.

... I think I'm getting belly swelling just watching.

"Uh, steak's heavy from bedtime."

"It's Bad To Sleep Till Noon"

"It doesn't matter if you wake up or anything."

Haku usually eats plenty of oil when he wakes up.

Drink tea in a way that feels like running gastrointestinal oil. Hmm, heavy.

But it's unusual. I don't really do such thick steaks at noon.

"... sorry"

"Hmm, why would Kroto apologize?

"This lunch is your hope, Kroto. He wanted to eat meat sexually."

Uh, is that so? Is that why you were eating uncommonly crotched?

But rare. I honestly eat what's served, but I've never wanted anything before.

But, you know, you said something bad.

"You don't have to apologize for anything. I'm sorry I blamed you."

"... yeah."

Kroto drinks tea with a relieved face at my words. I wonder what, I don't have enough energy?

Looks like Haku and I went wild, and maybe we have one of those.

That's what I think. Looking at Kroto, Kroto is holding and opening his hand to make sure as he stares at something.

You're doing something you don't normally see.

"... father"

"Hmm, what's up, Kroto?"

"... uh..."

It feels like Kroto is worried about saying something, something he wants to say but can't.

At times like this, you'd better wait until the person wants to say it.

Take it easy and wait until Kroto can say so while you drink tea. Sometimes while stroking Cloto's head.

Inai was smiling at me and Kroto like that. Haku's stuck to Sigal today.

Sigal looks heavy. He doesn't think about his weight.

"... Mmm!

Kroto poses just like Sigal and is in the mood.

The words then uttered from Kroto's mouth were astonishing.

"... Dad, I remember the old days."

"Uh, back in the day."

"... before I went to sleep."

To the words, Inai's eyes sharpened. I know why.

Kroto came out of that ruin. Until now, all that came out of the ruins were humans and those who took hostilities.

I think we really have to be vigilant about what Kroto, with his memory back, is going to do more than that.

"You remembered everything?

"... yeah, just some"

Apparently, he didn't go back completely, he remembered it in fragments.

Something seems confusing when I do.

"... I also figured out why I was afraid of the red and the scaly tail people."

"Why are you afraid of Mr. Lynn and Mr. Geena?

"... yeah, those people are people who can make beings like me disappear. People who can erase even if they are normally indelible. So I was scared."

... you mean you were scared because those two were out of standard?

Mm-hmm, but don't feel nuanced.

"Kroto, if you know where it is, tell me more."

Inai asks Kroto with a serious face. Take that, Kroto shifts his gaze from me to Inai.

Those eyes, they look more serious than ever. Maybe. I'm sure it's serious.

"... I was killed by a dragon and a hero. Unlike me, two dragons were born wanted by people and two heroes embedded in the power of dragons. A dragon who can offset my power suppressed me in exchange for my life, and a hero man slapped me through the phenomenon of saying me."

"Phenomena?"

"... I'm not a creature. The phenomenon, the force, just took shape. The significance of existence is just to break it. That's the only thing I can do. That's me. So, I was murdered. The people who wanted me killed me when they told me they didn't need me."

"There's no such thing as croto being a creature. And it's important to destroy it. Kroto wouldn't do that."

Kroto did erase the demons the first time he met him, and it was a fight to Haku.

But he's usually a quiet good kid, and he played normally with the kids on the land. I haven't seen anything like such a decentralization of destructive impulses.

"... but facts. That's what I am. That's why I was afraid. You two have the same power as that hero. He's about to become a dragon."

"... Wait, Kroto, what do you mean you're about to become a dragon? Huck's a dragon, isn't he?

Inai, who was quietly listening to Kroto, asks Kroto.

I got stuck there, too. He's about to become a dragon. Huck's a real dragon, isn't he?

"... that, no. Just leftovers. He's trying to get closer to the existence of a big book. in its original form. To the real dragon."

"A real dragon? You mean old dragons were different things?

"... no. Haku just shackled off yet. It's not a dragon. That's not far from Bedluk yet. Just a shard of power."

"Hey, hey, why is Bedluk out there?"

Mr. Inai is slightly confused by the disclosure of Kroto's memory.

You know, Bedouk was a god of mercy, for sure.

I think I heard it when I explained the sword.

"... that's him, the first time. The first dragon. Being born wanting by people. Saving people, dragons."

"Maybe the people in the myth, they all exist?

"... that, I don't know. What I remembered was the guy who killed me and why I existed. Only reason I could have come back to life. I, Hudunador, have only come back to life."

Inai and Sigal look at Kroto with a surprised face. A croto named after the Demon King.

But I don't know what it feels like.

Because croto is croto. What does it have to do with Kroto now?

"Hey, Kroto"

"... what, father"

Kroto was a little upset by my voice. But I keep going.

"I knew Kroto was the Demon King. So, what's the problem?

"... Huh?

"No, that reminds me that I ran away because there was a problem there."

"... because I'm not human, and it's something your mothers have to erase."

"Kroto is Kroto, isn't it? I haven't been around rambling and bothering people since I came out of nothing. It's nothing good, is it?

Nobody remembers that. What do you care about the old days? You haven't had a living guy since then. Even old dragons don't seem to know.

Kroto is a kroto, so nothing's wrong with you.

That's what I said, Kroto is a rare poker. Um?

"... come on. That's true. Kroto is Kroto."

"Haha, yeah"

Inai and Cigal laughing out of heartfelt fun for some reason. What got you into such a bump?

"... but I'm the cause."

"Causes?"

I don't know what you're talking about. Is that an old story, too?

"... the reason the demon man was made was me. Because I am here, the devil was born."

"What!?

Inai stops laughing at Kroto's words. I can't help but be surprised by the boulder.

It was Kroto who made the Demon Man?

"Kroto, how can a demon do that?"

Inai asks Kroto in a serious voice.

It would be the most pivotal place for the Inays.

"... I'm sorry, that's, I don't know. But since I'm here, I've got a demon. That's true. That's why I was afraid. I'm the first mother to have to erase the demons."

Hmm, I mean, a long time ago, Kroto created the demon, and he said that the demon was the ones who came out into the modern age.

But I need to figure out how to make it for Kroto right now.

Hmm, I'm worried you don't understand the terms, but you just have to make them, okay?

"... Hey, Inai"

"What?

"As things stand, there's no particular problem, is there?

"... right, the problem is, well, no"

To my words, Inai replied, 'Yes, but not'. I know. It's not that weather for boulders.

The power of croto is that we can make people like that. That in itself is a big problem.

But Kroto would be fine. I don't think Kroto would do that.

"What Kroto remembers, so all?

"... well, after that, he made a ruin to bring me back to life."

"Uh, you made it for the resurrection of that ruin croto."

"Kroto, do you know how many ruins there are?

"... I'm sorry. I almost disappeared, so I don't know."

"Oh well. Don't worry about it. I apologize."

Inai deposits her body on her back and sighs haha.

And I stroked Kroto's head.

"I know what's going on. But don't make me worry. Now say it right."

"... yeah, thanks, Mother"

To Inai's gentle voice, Kroto shows a full grin.

In the meantime, I guess one thing settled. Well, I don't think it's completely settled.

After all, you don't know the total number of demons, the location of the ruins, or anything like that.

But, well, I kind of figured out why Haku and I weren't close.

I guess Kroto was laying with the guy who killed him and Huck felt like he was hostile with instinctive stuff.

The demon king who created the demon man. Exactly the Demon King.

I don't think Kroto will. He's a nice, calm kid.

But well, if it does. I have to be prepared as a guardian.

I don't want to, but I do.
