The story Shea told me when I woke up was much more than I expected.
The tragedy that befell her in a rural village in Kamhelio.
Without being able to resist the will of the ghost of the past, Hisago said she came to this demonic kingdom.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Keira, Usato's greatest apprentice!!"
"Uh-huh? I'm Shea Garmio.... hello? "
She was introducing herself to Keira, but she seemed to have settled down.
But you're the best apprentice...
"Kiera, unfortunately, you're not my best apprentice."
"... eh..."
No, I didn't expect you to look so desperate.
"Wasn't I the best...?"
"There was a boy named Nack.My age is close to yours. "
"... mum"
Keela stares at a point of fire and sifts as she bites her lower lip.
Is that it? Was he the best apprentice?
When Keira feels funny and looks like a child, she hears someone's belly ringing.
Looking at the sound, Shea, whose face turned bright red, was holding her stomach.
"... sorry, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday... uu"
"No, don't worry about it.Keira, let's get dinner ready. "
"Hi...!"
After all that fighting.
I'm hungry too, so you can talk about it after dinner. [M]
●
We were eating an easy-to-cook dinner when the surroundings were completely dark.
Simply put, the meat, fish and wild grass brought in by Keira's cape were put in a pot and seasoned.I didn't really intend to make it so luxurious... but I made it with Keela so I could get a little cheerful from Shea's state of mind.
"Is it delicious? Mr. Shea."
"Thank you, Keira.... it's been a long time since I had a warm meal."
Now I wonder if it has settled down or if I am eating a pot with a vessel with emotion, Shea.
What would you do if you didn't try to stay away from me right after you woke up... but now you're pretty calm.
"You were here after the devil, weren't you?"
"... yeah, somehow I knew where the devil was."
... so the devil came here to target the power of the Devil.
The timing when the demon recovered the power of the demon king, the timing when Shia tried to defeat the demon, and the timing when I arrived on the spot coincided with the situation.
... in the sense of double hair.
"How did you get out of this poison fog?I don't suppose you've put up with this? "
"I was wearing light magic to offset the poison.But while I was fighting the devil, I almost ran out of magic... "
"That's why I showed up..."
Perfect timing.
"Did you defeat that demon?"
"No, I beat him to pieces for now, but he might come back."
"It was amazing. He was more demonic than the devil."
Secretly deals damage to Keira's voice, which looks like she's been thrilled.
Like Nea and Ferm, they're going to blow a nice blow...!!
"It was so strong....."
"Ah... I'm used to that kind of person.Basically, the ability to influence the mind doesn't work. "
"Heh, heh...... eh, no, why? "
There's so much going on.
Specifically, after being trained by the Rescue Corps, he continued to suffer a three-digit psychological attack in Samaritan.
So I'm used to attacks like this, so maybe it won't affect me unless I'm in the Demon King class.
"... I've killed two demons before.The first one is a woman, and the other one is Miarek..... "
... Mirak?
I see. You were the one who wiped out Rapud back then.Perhaps there was an outbreak of system strengthening? "
"... because I have to strengthen my system to kill demons..."
Was the wound when I healed the demon at that time? [M]
As far as I can tell, I think she didn't kill the devil on her own terms, but she forced me to strengthen the system.
... I've gotten used to it every time, but it must be hard for Shia, who was a normal girl.
"The rabbit left it for me, right?"
?
"Healing magic, like a slime."
... ah.
A healing magic bullet wrapped in elastic.
"Did you use it..."
"Thank you so much for healing my wounds..."
You mean the wound was healed unintentionally?
I didn't think they'd use it, but it turned out to be Ouilai.
Usato-san, is this a healing magic slime?
"Hmm? Oh, this is it."
Gives Keira a healing elastic bullet made with her palm and leans her neck strangely.
The healing magic wrapped in elasticity continues to exert healing magic effects soft as jelly.
"Mr. Usato, can you make this big one?"
I'll ask you something, but why?
"I'll make you a pillow."
Is it a new product?
I don't think there's half the demand for healing magic pillows, but there's a problem with the duration of elasticity.
That sounds a little impossible.
"Now, if you let Usato-san sleep with you, the same effect...?"
"Keira, have you been distantly influenced by senpai?"
I felt the dialogue was a dangerous thing to think of senpai.
You're kidding, right? No, wait, isn't this a very realistic dialogue for this kid who never received the love of his parents?
I don't know what kind of words to say, and my thoughts fit.
Keira is playing with a healing elastic bullet like a cake.
"... the voice of the brave will be quiet near the rabbit."
"... why?"
"I don't know... maybe because I won the Demon King."
You beat the Demon King, huh?
Having his memory can be said to be influenced by his own emotions.
"Does that mean you're okay now?"
"... yeah. I don't even know what happens after this."
... I see.
The question is, what should I do with her, who is influenced by Mr. Hisago's memory?
"The quick thing is to leave it to the Demon King... maybe not."
"... against the Demon King, you might end up killing him"
"That's right. I know that."
Even though the impulse has disappeared, there is no way you can actually see the Demon King and be unaffected.
In the first place, he's round now, but he did his best to be brutal before he was sealed.
Well then, that's Falga.
"Master Farga?... ah, is that big dragon still here!?"
"... speaking of which, wasn't it open to the public?"
It was widespread among key figures in each kingdom, but in general, Falgar's presence was still hidden.
But I'm sure he'll find a way to deal with Mr. Hisago's memory.
"There's a word for special, but even if you look like this, your face is going to be wide.... who can manage your situation?... you can introduce people. "
"... I don't know what to say..."
"You're just in trouble.One hundred percent... no, twenty percent Hisago is bad about this. "
I know his situation.
I know what it was like.
The conclusions reached at that end and the trials imposed in this era are critically acceptable.
But it is wrong to push her out of her misery, who lived a peaceful life that had nothing to do with it.
"... no"
Did you regret what you did in the last few years and leave behind memories and light magic to kill the Demon King and hence the Devil...?
Was his will so weak?
At least his preparedness in the memory of the past shown to the Demon King was out of order.
Mr. Usato?
"Usato?"
"... I'll leave here in the morning and meet the Koga."
Hisago's memory and magic are authentic.
But something doesn't suit me.
I don't think that person... would do something like this halfway.
I need to ask the Demon King and Nagi, who know Hisago well, how to find out.
"I'll cut the drill and report back to the Devil, Shea. You come with me."
"... okay."
"Okay."
I put down the vessel I had and stood up and put my sleeve through the dress. [M]
Keira, stay with Shea.
Where's Mr. Usato?
I'll check the back of the ruins.
Perhaps there is a fragment of the Devil's power here.
If we know that the devil is after us, we want to make sure we get it back.
"Oh, I'm coming with you."
Huh?
"I'm not alone.I'm always alone, so I'm worried I can protect Keela. "
For a moment, I wondered if I could show her a fragment of the Demon King's power, but given Shia's position, I was naturally anxious.
"Okay. Okay, let's go together.... Keira "
Yes.
Keira dives into her dark magic cloak and moves to my shoulder.
Either way, the ruins were dark during the day, so it doesn't matter if you enter at night.
"Wow, I have light magic---"
"Healing Elastic Bullet"
Throw a healing elastic bullet created in your hand.
Until now, I've only used it to blink my eyes, but healing magic glows physically.
After confirming that my feet had been illuminated, I turned back to Shea with a healing elastic bullet in my palm.
"This will illuminate the scaffolding and be a landmark.It's called healing guidance. "
…… Chi, is healing magic like that? "
I was pulled.
Well, I'm just using it in a special way, so I'll solve the misunderstanding later.
Now we must find a fragment of the Demon King's power behind this ruin.
