We succeeded in defeating Deus.
Moving from him completely unconscious and lying down to another hall, me and Mr. Io were listening from Mao, the girl who had brought me here.
"Mao, right? Your father and mother..."
Ask Io, who would be more approachable than me, about the situation.
Then Mao, shaking his gaze to the right to get lost, slowly spews out the words.
"... not here"
"No, I don't know."
"I'm dead. When I was six."
……
……
I'm going to turn my gaze on Mr. Io asking for help.
But there's nothing I can do...!
"Do you understand?"
"... I know, but one"
I don't know what to do with that answer, Mr. Io.
Will anyone be a guardian?
We can't be stepping foot here because we're in the base of the Demon King's Army.
"Duh, what do you want to do?"
"What shall I do..."
I don't know what you thought. Mao holds Mr. Io's hand with his left hand.
Then he grabs my hand with his right hand, which was right around the corner, and looks somewhat happy as he dyes his cheeks.
♪
Having seen such a look up close, I turn to Mr. Io in the illusion of a sloppy sweat - but on the other hand, she looked just like me.
"I don't know what to do...!"
"What shall we do……!"
In this situation Chisato also decides to return an answer for another dimension if he sees it.
She does things from a different dimension from us from time to time...
Mao, we're not your parents.
"I know."
"... you know what?"
"Yeah."
... I don't know what's going on anymore.
What, is this kid even brainwashed?
"How did you know about me?"
……
"Can't you answer?"
I get snorted at.
I can't force myself to ask, because I can't leave this kid alone.
"Mr. Io. There may be others as imprisoned as this child. If we're going to retreat, we should go help them."
"I agree. Maybe the Demon King's army was trying to grab a kid and do something about it."
"... grab people, or"
Someone who was one of us who was imprisoned by the Demon King's Army.
She came to help me when I was imprisoned by Melia, but then she disappeared.
I've been showing her around for a long time...
"... it was dirt magic, just like Mr. Iris..."
Besides, that surprise voice of Nea.
Given her attitude and surprise towards Mr. Iris, I didn't want to doubt it, but I find her suspicious.
Maybe she's ahead of us...
"Get out of the way!"
"Mmmm!!"
!?
Delayed in thought, the two walls of the hall are destroyed at the same time without any foretaste.
Put your hands on the lime that instantly turns into a pattern and be vigilant, you can see two silhouettes that look familiar from the smoke.
"Phew! I knew the walls could only be broken and moved!"
"Mm-hmm. I knew it would be easier to break the wall and move on"
"" Yeah? ""
Nea and Reefa's black and white sisters, each coming out of the opposite wall, face to face.
Looks like Chisato and Saila are also coming from the back, so now we seem to have been able to rendezvous.
"Ah, Mr. Kite. Yi-guuuuuuuuuuuu!?"
"Chisato!?"
Chisato, who found this one, rushes over here, but is blown away by the shock of not seeing what's going on.
What is it? Enemy attack?
"Oh, oh, wow!?"
"Chisato, who just said he wouldn't move, blew up with an awesome sound effect!?"
"What are you doing...?"
"To, Nea, Al, oh, what I feared……!?"
At the end of her gaze was Mao, who was holding hands with Mr. Io.
The Reefers are surprised not only by Chisato, but also by the two subtly similarly haired people.
"Io"
"Yes, sir"
I speak in a way that Chisato, who came before Mr. Io in his true face, was very upset.
"When, purchasing - muggu!?"
"Chisato, I say it as same-sex, but that's just what you should stop saying and doing...! No, seriously, because it sucks...!"
Chisato, were you trying to tell Mr. Io something terrible right now?
I shouldn't really touch it, so I won't pursue it, but I'd rather not even look at Io's face right now.
Nia, who blocked Chisato's mouth, turns this way with a laid back face.
"So, where did this kid pick it up?"
"I was fighting Deus earlier, and I ran into him before he blew me away."
"Father, who is this man"
"Wait, guys, don't leave me. Listen to me!!!"
Misunderstood in an instant, stopping the companions who take the distance quickly.
No, listen to me! Stay, don't explain first...!
Explain to Reefa and Nia, who are surprised, Chisato, and to Saila, who has always been Nico's face since just now, why me and Io are called like parents.
"... and, well, here's the thing"
"What do you mean...?"
Well, you'll look like that too...
We don't know much about the situation either.
Then mostly Reefa, who came before Mao, crouches to gaze at her.
"I'm a mom. You can call me that."
"... Porch?"
"What?"
I wonder why this kid is the only funny thing to do.
Nia laughs all the time here at Reefa, who gets annoyed by her child.
"Pfft, Reefa says he's a pound. Well, is it black? Dogs are useless, don't you think?"
"Nea, you're Shiro."
"What.... did you tell me your name? I don't know, the unidentified anger that springs from the depths of my heart... this feeling that makes me want to shiver even though I'm a child..."
I lean my neck wonderfully after I get a straight face.
Perhaps saying that you know Nea, who was a Demon King's Army executive, has been around since she was in the Demon King's Army.
You don't have any parents and you're alone, so the Demon King's army grabbed you for it?
"Uh, what's so cute about this girl! Won't be my sister!?"
"Sister."
"I am!"
Wow, that's a fast tempo, Saila.
I'm making Mao my sister at some point, but what's going on?
As I grinned bitterly at Saila holding Mao and tensioning him - inadvertently, the door to the hall where we are now opens alone.
"" "Huh!" "
Everyone moves into battle in an instant, but no one comes through the door.
… is this an invitation…?
As we recognize it, the holes vacated by Reefa and Nea and the doors into which we came are buried in the earth.
"... I wanted to get this kid out of here somewhere safe"
"I don't think we can do that in this situation."
If you try to force yourself out, you're likely to be trapped in a dirt labyrinth like the first time.
Do we have to give up here and take Mao too and hurry ahead?
"Mao, I'll keep going, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Mother"
"Mother, stop now for a second..."
Nikonico-faced Saila and Io, who gathered the gaze of the true-faced Chisatos, pull their cheeks together.
I have to protect this kid to get as much correction as I can later on about how to call him.
"You're going underground."
"Nothing starts without moving on. If the other guy ahead is the Demon King, you have to tell him first."
We all go down the lighted stairs.
It's not that long of a staircase, and soon we'll be out in a bigger space than the hall we were in earlier.
Behind that place, somewhat similar to the ruins where Mr. Bern was, I find a woman sitting dignified on an elevated throne and a blonde - an elf woman - nestled next to her like that.
"...... ugh!!?"
When I look at a woman, I look into amazement and stop.
"Iris!? Why are you there?!?"
"Lord Illis!?"
"I knew it was you..."
Reefers circling their eyes in surprise.
I'm surprised, too.
I'm surprised, but I was surprised to see a woman with more gray hair than that.
"Welcome, Huhuhuhu. Brave man."
Beautiful woman with long hair.
I've never seen him if he's just looking.
But the atmosphere surrounding him was quite familiar to me.
"I am the devil..."
"Merliah?"
……
Meliá speaks surprisingly to my voice.
Feeling her peers gaze, gently step forward and make sure she looks good.
"I knew it was Melia. What are you doing here?"
After a brief silence, the demon king, dressed in his own clothes, throws his voice at me with a slightly convoluted smile.
"... well, I don't know who you're talking about?"
"There's no way I'm wrong about you."
"I am the Demon King."
He is the most involved god beast in a short time, so he knows the signs and atmosphere very well.
So you can't go wrong with my senses. [M]
"He's different, but I can tell by your vibe and all that."
"... ku, uhh, uhh... ~ ~ ~ ~!"
Meliá, who was about to call herself the Demon King, held her face with both hands and began to move her legs flat as she sat in a chair about what was going on
Mr. Iris, who was next door, looks alternately at me and Merliah in a tremendous hurry.
"Kate, how do you know?"
"Oh, no, somehow..."
"Oh, I see..."
I leaned my neck against Meliá, who was somehow on the throne of the Demon King, listening to a voice that could be taken as a surprise if I gave up on Sif.
