After I sealed that son of a bitch, I threw my identity away.

I threw away my name and everything and went on my last wandering journey.

Along the way, he continued to hunt down demons who incited human malice in parallel while making plans for various places.

The devil has no grudges like this.

But their way of life is only poison for those who live in this world.

Corrupts people to gain fear, causing war.

I've done my last job for the sake of the future, for the sake of the people of the world, whom I will put to the test.

"Hah..."

In a deep rain forest.

Sitting in the shade of a large tree to rest in the rain, she looks up at the cloudy sky.

Six, maybe.

Looking at the six light spheres floating in the sky from my deep coat, I look back on my journey so far.

As soon as I found it, the demons were wiped out.

But not all of them.

Only a limited number of individuals are kept sealed without being gripped.

Please try and impose the same test as that dragon.

Enough of the trials have been left.

After that, the future... the people of that era will only face difficulties.

I knew it was too difficult for me to leave the demon like this. It was impossible to deal with evil dragons, evil demon kings, and demons.

But while I think so, I don't care about the future.

I thought it was okay to perish.

”... you're so embarrassing.”

I peered into the puddle of water on the ground and leaked a mocking voice into my face as I moved there.

My face on the surface of the water didn't belong to a very living person.

Bearded hair stretched out on her cheeks, black eyes like a drop of darkness.

It was like returning to life and death before being summoned by this world.

"The original world..."

The original... life that was supposed to die in another world far away now.

I thought I could finally die after being pierced by the spear of a billion samurai.

He lost his wife and daughter to disease.

Lose out in battle,

And the Lord, who swore allegiance, was slain.

It was in this world that I survived the last time I tried to spill my life.

There was no end to the struggle in such a world.

People and people take land, and they take each other to eat.

Even though the world should have changed, I laughed at the fact that nothing had changed is a laughable joke.

But a child with the ears and tail of a beast I met in such a world.

He named it 'Kannagi' after a young child who showed the image of his daughter, Hiragana, who was supposed to have died of the disease.

"... sorry"

An apology that falls unconsciously.

To tell you the truth, I couldn't face Nagi.

When I see her, I think of the remains of my daughter and my wife, buried in the soil with my own hands.

Still, his presence must have saved me.

……

But such a little luck was far too cruel in this world.

The petty kindness of a person is crushed with even more malice.

No matter how much I save people, with just a little distortion (strain), I can repaint my words of gratitude and good intentions.

Like the girl who was laughing at Samaritan.

That's why I---,

"... what the hell am I doing...?"

Now I'm muttering such a thing.

Desperate for the humans of the present, I bet on the future.

That's why I got my hands dirty.

I betrayed Nagi, who trusted me.

I know I can't stop now.

I stood up while forcing my screaming heart to stop.

"... let's end this."

The last demon is on its way.

Deal with him, and the demon disappears from this world.



"Yeah, I'm here. Nitride."

There were certainly signs of that in the destination village, and the villagers were frightened by the demon's presence.

What was different was that the villagers were frightened, but they did not seem to have suffered any visible damage.

It's a bit unusual for a demon to manipulate the human mind skillfully.

"Tougher." Looks like you're not human. You're a monster, and you have horns on your wings. "

"... where is he?"

"It's a hut on the outskirts of the village. You're the exterminator, aren't you?"

I nodded to the man in a violent tone.

It wasn't so unusual for a exterminator to kill a monster.

It's good as a provisional identity.

"If you want to get rid of me, do it quickly." I can't stay in that house. "

There was an unusual disgust at the voice of the man who spoke like that.

"Who used to live in that house?"

"Ask me what I need to do."

“Interest-based. It doesn't make much sense.”

The man who touched his tongue troublesomely looks in the direction of the hut.

"There was a woman living there." She's the daughter of some nobleman. It seemed like they had somehow figured it out. It seems that it was originally separate, but since I came to that cabin, I've been obsessed and honestly creepy. "

Does that woman have anything to do with monsters?

"... I don't know. She's already dead."

I guess you don't want to talk about it.

And what kind of treatment did the women who would have come to this village receive from the villagers?

I don't know much about aristocrats, and they don't want to know, but I'm curious.

I'll go back to the story, but did the monster do anything to this village?

"It's your decision, isn't it?" Steal the food. Even though we don't sell rice to such a carb. "

"... sell it? Did he come to your store to buy it normally? As a customer?"

"Ugh!"

A man's voice is jammed at my question.

Along with that, the surrounding gaze became sharp.

Feel the hostility towards me, the other person, and the warning "Don't step any further", and quietly retreat.

"I'm sorry to ask."... when the sun goes down, I'll go to the cabin. "

"I asked for it.... but when you die..."

"Oh, it's none of your business."

——— It's not unusual.

There are plenty of villages that don't welcome extra people if you're traveling.

Rather, we should suspect some kind of trap by accepting it unconditionally.

"... in that sense, Lingle was a good place, right?"

It was the first and last time I was treated without a secret.

While I was vigilant about when the assassins would arrive, it was a funny story to leave the country and beat my shoulders.

"The world is still rough..."

As soon as the demon king was defeated, the world... not everyone's desolate heart returned to its original state.

I knew it, but the fact that I knew it left a stain on my mind.

I left the village, got ready, and then headed to the cabin.

There it is.

The sun goes down and the surroundings are surrounded by darkness.

I went out of the village and found the hut a little further away, and as I pulled out the Iron Sword, I approached the hut.

"... there you are."

There is a demon in this cabin.

I understood it with signs and pushed the door open while illuminating the darkness with magic.

A cute little room.

In a place with minimal furniture and dishes, I hear a small breath.

Illuminate those who hear voices as if they are pushing fear to death.

I was there---,

"...... ah"

I lowered my gaze (...) ---and I had eyes.

A small shadow trembles in a corner of the room.

"Oh, shit."

Karan, is that the sound of me dropping the sword from my own hand, or the sound of a crack in your broken heart?

When I saw the horrified eyes of someone with horns on their unbelievable feathers, I cursed my own bad luck for the first time.
