Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

"Ciel, what do you think is a curse?"

Suddenly, the Demon King has asked me that question, holding back behind his back.

Finish taking care of the whole street and think seriously about not answering that question that was thrown at me just standing behind the throne where the Demon King sits before answering it weirdly.

"A curse is a grudge? I recognize that he hates, this guy hates, or something directed at a certain subject..."

"Hmm, no fun... but that would be one form of curse"

I have trouble expecting me to be funny, but I couldn't tell you if my mouth was torn.

The Demon King is a generous lady, so some disrespect pleases me the other way around meditating on my eyes, but I'm afraid my boss's chief maid of honor will know that.

Novel scary.

Preaching from faceless is hard.

"What's going on? You look so dumb."

"Oh, no. I was suddenly wondering why they talked about the curse..."

How do you know the look on my face when you're not supposed to have a glance at it? Later, did he look so weird that he was dumb, I...

I rush back to the Demon King who has spoken to me without looking at this one.

"You talked about the evil dragon a while ago?"

"Yes."

"I'm worried about the people there. It's where they expected to go that leads us to the curse."

Evil Dragon.

The story of when the most horrible dragon came back into the world, albeit temporarily.

The humans would mean an odd group headed by a healing wizard.

"Samarial. A kingdom now also known as the kingdom of prayer. From me, I'm sure it's not a country with a noble name such as Prayer Country."

"What does that mean?"

"Because in my knowledge, that's where I gave the bravest a most powerful curse that will never be broken"

A curse that will never be broken?

To me with my neck hanging, the Demon King leaks his voice and sticks on his cheek to remind me of the time.

"The battle between the brave and the evil dragon took place in Samarial. Did you say that?"

"Yeah, well... yes"

"From me at the time, it was clear that the battle would end with the triumph of the brave. Whatever, the dragon gave me a powerful weapon. Plus, we knew the evil dragon was unlikely to win because his mental state was extremely dangerous."

"What is a dangerous condition?"

"It was self-inflicted. A heartless voice from successive betrayals, a people who were not saved - even though the earliest, this side, the one who was' leaning 'on the side of destroying man had what purpose, it was in a way so much a miracle that he tried to save Samarial"

It causes harm from the human side.

That's also the brave man who fought for human life.

The brave men of the time were being pushed to the point where I also knew they were not very understanding.

"As a result, he saved Samaritan. It was many words of gratitude directed at him for defeating the Evil Dragon. Thank you for risking my life. Thank you for defeating Evil Dragon. In those words, the hearts of the wounded brave were healed, though slightly."

"It's not a story that would please a brave man if he thought he'd find hope in humans and do harm to the Demons."

"Huh..."

To my words the Demon King leaks a small grin.

"But that was just a bluff. In the end, the men who saved them were sacrificed for sorcery by the brave men, blinded by their power, and died."

"That's... terrible, isn't it? Will man betray even his own Savior?"

"That's human. But this is where it sucks."

The content of the story itself is a tragic tale of a brave man, but the demon king who is talking about it seems quite delightful.

"Many senseless sacrifices carved a curse that could never be broken by the brave"

"Curse... is it magic?"

"No, it's not that easy. Most sorcery doesn't work on him in the first place. If you let him eat a decent spell, it won't work if you release five or more sorceries on top of each other. Halfway magic will be returned intact."

"How bullshit was that..."

"If that wasn't bullshit, there's no way you could seal me up?"

When I ask again, I recognise that the brave man who fought the Demon King was truly unusual.

"That's off the record... something called a curse means a lot. Expectations, hatred, jealousy, and directed emotions from others turn to burdens and wear out the spirit. That's what was directed at the brave. And -"

The demon king separated there stares at the void in a boring way.

"The brave man who was supposed to have saved a man for his own lust was attacked by the feeling of nothingness that the previous battle had become meaningless and by the regret that a man who could not possibly die had been killed because he was a brave man himself. It became a curse no matter how much I shook it away"

Surely Samaritan may be called the land of the curse.

But how can the humans who lived before the Demon King was sealed try to abuse their fellow countrymen so plainly?

We Demons have some problems, but that's not true.

That may be because there is an absolute ruler called the Demon King, but either way, I still don't understand the race of humans.

"What the hell happened to the brave man after that?"

"I don't even do this. It's just that after standing down and fighting me, he won. That's all."

……

"Really, is that all?"

……

Second, I wondered. I thought the Demon King might be hiding something.

Of course, I don't think the Demon King would do anything to betray us demons. In the first place, if this one is abandoning the Demon Nation, the Demon King's Land will already be further transformed.

In my words, the Demon King pleasantly puts his hand on his mouth.

"I'm still not bored with your conversation. Whoever tries to question me will only be as good as you are in this demonic kingdom, Syel."

"Oh, the... I'm sorry to say that I went too far..."

"Fine, keep your head down."

Lift your head almost down to the word of the Demon King.

It was a question I didn't hesitate to ask. Fortunately, the Demon King has forgiven me, but if the Samurai Chief finds out, the double bitterness of the novel & sermon will be laid down.

If that happens - no, let's not imagine.

Shaking one shoulder behind the Demon King, the Demon King starts spinning his words in the same chilling tone.

"It's a little hard to put into words. To put it succinctly - the brave had hope for a future of sorts called man. Even those who are foolish and unable to see now, if times change, people and thoughts will change. As far as the present, where there is only despair, I looked to the future"

"The future, right now?"

"Come on? I don't even know that. Anyway, he's carried the curse, even if he can put his thoughts on the future and the past, he can't do anything more.... No, could I have done it? Well, now that he's dead, there's no way to confirm it."

……

Honestly, I don't really understand.

I tried to understand about the brave, but I didn't really understand what the Demon King said.

In the end, what did that brave man think and show up before the Demon King, and why he tried to defeat the Demon King... but one thing I can say, it's -,

"But in the end, do you mean you chose a human being..."

"It's a stupid thought from me. The essence of man will never change, the future dreamed of by those who were devoured of their lives by both fools is no different than it used to be"

At the end of the day, he sealed the Demon King for the sake of man.

Whatever thoughts you have, that's a fact that can't be changed.

"... Either way, it doesn't matter to you who live now. The battle between him and me is over. It is none other of you who have made the history of the Demon Clan from sealing to waking up. When I wake up in this day and age, all I have to do is let you demons win - that's all."

That's what I said, the Demon King slowly rising out of his seat.

The Demon King turned to me before he tried to talk to me, wondering if he was trying to do something.

"Ciel, get me the Second Legion Leader."

"Yes. But what are you going to do?"

"It's boring to argue with only humans and demons like this. It's time to give them a chance to fight back."

"... them?"

What the hell are you referring to?

At least I'm sure it's not human and demonic.

"Kukukuk, now what happens. I hope their fangs haven't fallen out after hundreds of years."

A demon king with a cold grin, not answering my questions.

Seeing that blurry from behind, I said, "I knew I didn't know what the Demon King was thinking," and so on, while being rude, I arranged for the Second Legion Commander to be called as ordered.
