The battle against the Divine Beast was a matter of life.
No matter how much I and Reefa merged, I felt like I was really, really dying.
Well, that's fine.
The problem is after I pass out.
"When I woke up, they were sending me back to my kids again, so...!?"
I was more than surprised that when I woke up from fatigue, my body was returned to being a child on top of being put to sleep in a room where I could never know where it was.
Oh, when did they send me back when I was properly original before I passed out!?
"Kite's got it back."
"Huh!? Iris!?"
"Oh."
Illis, who comes into the room where I sleep, pulls out his chair with a loud sigh and places it beside the bed where I am.
"They thought it would be less expensive to look like a child"
"Oh, I can't be mad for no malice...!"
Actually, you're probably right, but as far as I'm concerned, it's totally better the way it was.
Instead, how long will my curse remain!?
"So, where am I?"
"Ship."
"... outside, I can only see the plains"
The only view you can see from the window is the plain.
I can't see the river or the sea very well, and I don't see it anywhere.
"Remember St. Real's ship?"
"Uh, that one.... Is it possible that making it is also an end?
"Hit it. Ha, they made me struggle to make it..."
Apparently, Illis was having a rough time in Illis, too.
I guess it's natural because I was beside a god beast that sucked even if I was modest called Melia.
Then Iris told me about the upside after I passed out.
He boarded a ship created for Kite and is now on a plain near the kingdom of Vingle, he said.
"You must have been the Demon King's Army..."
"Don't say..."
He was a former Demon King's Army executive. We both leak discouraged voices.
The very existence of the Demon King's Army is like a clown, besides the likeness of the brave, or something that was danced in the palms of the Lions.
As I sigh unexpectedly, I hear the concoction, and knocking on the door.
"Go ahead...?"
"Excuse me. I brought you herbal tea!"
What came in was a cute creature resembling a black Itachi.
At a glance, she can tell she's a sibling (sisters?) of Schiff. The child comes to us with a set of herbs cleverly in the tray with her tail.
"Huh? Oh, I appreciate it, but I didn't ask..."
To the bewildered squirrel, a little black animal resembling a hint of Itachi can cleverly serve tea in two cups with his tail, along with a lovely trick.
"I saw you enter the room! Go ahead!"
"Oh well, thanks......"
"Well, I'm going back to work on the ship! Call me if you need me!"
Itachi, peppered and bowed in a healthy manner, goes somewhere at all costs after cleverly closing the door so as not to make a sound as it is.
With a mouthful of herbal tea at hand and a whopping sigh of relief, Illis speaks to me with a groan.
"I mean, here's the thing"
"What do you mean!? There was a kid like another individual in Schiff"
"They say it's Sif's brothers that Master Lion brought in. He's working all over the place to get this ship moving now."
It's amazing how they seem to work better than bad personnel......
From what I can tell, Kite, your first user demon, Schiff, is smart.
"Honestly, I'm more comfortable than the Demon King's Army"
"I guess so..."
"If all the rotten executives were cute little animals, they could have worked harder"
How much was cornered at the time, Iris.
"There's some shiv here, too. Watching our brothers work as they twitch in the captain's office."
"That's cute, dude"
Aren't things really happening too much while I'm asleep?
I'm surprised.
"What will Illis do now?"
……
Phew, when I say what I think, Illis holds his head silently.
Oh, I'm guessing, she utters words in a slightly depressed voice.
"Get on with it."
"Oh, I don't like it."
"Thanks, I'll talk to you."
"You hate me and you're saying...!?"
Ignoring me for rejecting her, she speaks more of the troubles she would be waiting for, rather than consulting.
"Tomorrow I'm headed to the Kingdom of Hendil, where the kites are... where I'm supposed to meet my father, who lived and broke up when I was six"
"Jiu, it's been twelve years since you've been reunited..."
"Technically, it's been months. My father seemed to know that I was his daughter. That's when he disappeared by leaving only a letter."
"Are you clumsy?"
"If I lived a clever life, I don't think I'd be in the Demon King's Army?"
... Indeed!
"Worst......"
"Worst?"
"Ask Kite to be present at the conversation with my father"
"Stop putting any more effort into you, Kite!"
Even though I'm being watched day and night by multiple divine beasts.
Instead, it also adds reefers.
Or, shit, this topic isn't about landmines.
If we don't change the subject......
"You know, the Demon King's Army is over. What happened to the real Demon King?"
"Oh, then..."
Then the door opens in the room where I am, from where Mao, a girl about 12 years old, looks reluctantly.
"Nia, I'm up..."
"Mao... Speaking of which, you were there."
I completely forgot I existed.
What will this child do after this?
There seems to be some kind of translation.
"This is who the Demon King is."
"... what? Who, Mao?"
"I can't help but be surprised...... haha"
Illis zeroes a dry grin with slightly vain eyes.
When I glance at Mao with such horror at her, the gray-haired girl hoists the edge of her mouth.
"I'm not the Demon King now, but it's nice to meet you. Ciro."
"... hey Mao, just let me do it once?"
"Calm down, I know how you feel but they're kids!?"
"What does it matter if you're a child! Innocent malice is more evil than anything else!"
"Mbeh."
You fucking kid, now you're licking and rotting about me!?
Mao, who shut the door after he gave me his tongue, once and for all runs down the hallway and goes somewhere.
... the next time I see you, I'll eat your dick.
"Mao and I are going to live on this ship in the future. We don't have anywhere to go."
Isn't Illis different?
"Exactly, I can't bother my father that far. But..."
did it, and the squeaky grin of Illis turning that smile at me.
"From now on, you're just like me."
"I'm smiling like never before. My eyes are more dead than ever!"
"It may be a coincidence, but I am Merliah, and you are connected to Master Lion"
"So what!? Lion is the tenant who made me a child, but other than you, Kate, he's the one who never listens to humans!?"
I don't like that. That's what we have in common.
You're only waiting for your fate to suffer from stomach pain.
"Wow, 'cause I'm like a kid"
"Do I look like I'm shy of children?"
"You just told Mao they were kids!?"
"Do I look like I'm shy of you?"
What do you think I am?
I've been having this exchange since I was in the Demon King's Army, and I'm just a little relieved, but more than that, I'm going to be pushed for divine beast-related troubles in the future and it's too scary.
"In the first place, if you're going to act with Kate, I don't think you're going to be able to avoid it."
"Sure it is.... What, does Illis know something?"
"Oh. When I was in the captain's office, I heard something like Mr. Lion whining, I kind of guessed."
I wonder what the problem will be again......
Well, there can't be a problem as soon as the Demon King's Army is gone. -
"It seems that the life of a god beast is about to be exhausted"
"... what?"
The divine beast may die.
I was stunned and temporarily unable to move into words that were, in a way, distant from reality.
