Do You Think Someone Like You Can Defeat the Demon King?

"Eterna's Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

The yelling of ink that binds my ears.

And without ever turning around Eterna, she jumped out of the house.

Eterna was often grumpy, but soon she sat back deeply in the chair and exhaled heavily.

I've never bought ink anger so hard before.

"... well, that's gonna happen"

Of course, Eterna is convinced by one.

My heart and stomach ache.

I can calmly analyze why I'm doing this - ridiculous, but I can't think of any other way.

"Still, I... cannot live up to the thoughts of ink"

Close your eyes.

Vision, blurring and seeping, the voices of the children approached from beyond the memories.

Once, a memory of when Eterna was only really young.

Same age subjects (...) run around fine, and Kinder and Claudia watch it gently.

Over time, however, the number decreased slightly.

Some die in fury of their faces, while others lose their lives when their bodies swell to snoring.

The girl, who was an adult, took her breath quietly in the morning when she woke up, and she became an untold corpse begging for 'kill me' in so much suffering.

I'm still not sure if I was happy or unhappy.

But that was the origin of Eterna.

"Only I live..."

More than fifty years have passed since then.

So far, there has been no change in Eterna's flesh, which has become "demonic" due to research in the kingdom.

"Still alive"

Open your palms.

It's like a girl in her early teens.

In terms of appearance alone, I'm younger than ink.

"How long can you live..."

Still, she does remember living for over sixty years.

Eterna is not a complete body.

We approached the “artificial demons" that were the original purpose of the kingdom, but Kinder, the research leader, did not say it was a success either.

Halfway through, the test object.

Then there is no guarantee that I can live the same years as the Demons, and it's not strange that I'm dead tomorrow.

So...

"... no, that's not why"

That's not the only reason.

But it was one reason to reject ink feelings.

When I think of her angry face, the phantoms of the past disappear.

"I was crying, dude..."

I guess I was shocked when they said 'I'm not going to be in that relationship' after all.

No, that's not all.

Something worse - I lined up words that trampled my ink thoughts.

Totally, to break that heart.

It's just that gloomy emotions were filling Eterna's chest.

I didn't do anything I got, I just lost it pointlessly.

But I did the right thing.

It is an indisputable fact that he is the perpetrator, and I do not intend to mislead him there - nor did I intend to do anything wrong.

"I'm glad this is it...... now. I can finally free you of the ink from me."

Eterna snapped to tell herself.

"I Want Ink To Be Happy"

That's indisputable, it's what she meant.

That's why, and so, I can't accept ink thoughts.

Eterna wants her to be “normal” more than anything else.

We couldn't live normally with each other, so from now on, we get normal flesh, we fall in love normally - such a life.

That bright personality should do it.

I don't know how long I can live like myself, I'm also suspicious if I'm human, it's much better that way than being by a woman of guardianship.

"I Love Ink"

It is also, undoubtedly, the essence of Eterna.

Is it empathy or romantic emotion as a parent, as a subject?

I still don't have an answer.

I don't even want to give you an answer.

Because I know.

Because it's a crazy story to laugh at, but it's no longer too obvious and I don't even have to think about it.

So don't think about it, I'm shelving it all the time.

When I close my lid, it's the smile of ink that comes to mind.

Unexpectedly Eterna smiled bitterly.

How are you going to delude yourself to the point where you don't give an answer when you say that that dazzling and radiant expression is enough to burn?

More than four months have passed since we met.

The ink is growing year-to-year and growing up well into a beauty.

But the contents have not changed much, and remain as bright and nostalgic as ever.

When I find Eterna, she hugs me indefensibly and buries her face on her chest and shoulders.

Honestly, I was happy.

That the ink that I saved my life and also gave my eyesight will always miss me.

But there must also be a connection between the consciousness of the sin of 'taking Eterna's right arm'.

If you feel like it, you can connect it to yourself forever.

That's all I've done.

Then throw away the correctness and pass your ego.

"... so he said no"

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the wood on the table.

Yes, that's why (...) Eterna thought she had to pull the ink away from herself.

The desire is dangerous.

You will close the path of ink that you have opened.

What did you let him live for?

It would be to have you live as a normal human being.

What did you sacrifice your arm for until you saved it?

It would be to have you live as a normal human being.

Why did you restore your eyesight?

It would be to have you live as a normal human being.

Everything, just for that matter - say no, say no, say no, to make it your own, etc., shouldn't have been.

My chest hurts.

My body is heavy.

Even breathing is a hundred million bucks.

I want to hold my breath like this and kill myself.

Over time, as my feelings settled, my chest sprouts swelled further.

I was crying.

Someone pointed a smile so dazzling straight at me and told me I liked it.

"I have only been attached to ink as a guardian. I don't care what they say about love, honestly, I'm in trouble '

What the hell is that?

Where do you say you have the heart of the word?

"Ink is still a child. I just think so with a temporary emotion. Because I am an adult, I have a role to play in glorifying that kind of child's mistake. '

I'm also poorly overrated as to whether I'm meant to be an adult.

Are you saying that humans who have lived long behind the mountains have grown so splendidly that they can praise others?

Your mind hasn't grown anything since that time when you lived as an experimental body in Wang Du.

'I've always thought it was annoying. I never see ink that way, and it's annoying to be seen.'

Oh, really, there's no saving...

"Hey, the door was open, right? Eterna, what are you so sloppy about?"

Then, through the front door where the ink left off, Negas enters on his own.

"Negas, trespassing"

"You said you were coming to the meeting."

Sure, that's true, and even time is as promised.

More than an hour had passed since the ink left, apparently.

While I'm heartily surprised by that fact, Eterna wakes up and normally sits in a chair.

Neigus sat across from her and looked over at the room.

"Where's Ink?

"Out."

"Oh, my God, that's like being run away from home."

……

Eterna turns a silent blind eye.

Even without words, that was enough.

"... are you sure?

"We fought"

Sigh loud, Neigus.

She also knows what Eterna has to do with ink.

He said that for four years, even though ink had set up an enthusiastic approach, there had been no progress at all.

"I don't know, could you at least make it after the meeting? As far as that face goes, you must be the cause, right?

"100 percent."

"Quite enough to say. What did you do?"

"He said 'like' as usual, so I pushed him away as much as I wanted"

Eterna laid her eyes on the worries.

Seeing it, Negas wrinkles between her eyebrows and gently rides herself out and points her face closer.

"I've always thought... you, asshole"

"Extra-Heart"

"No, asshole. It's not like I can always imitate a kid giving me an aura that I like."

And for four years, it is uninterrupted.

"It's because I'm letting it out... I let it go"

"Not extra assholes"

"Asshole, shut up! I've been thinking a lot, too!

Eterna irritated by uncommonly exasperating emotions.

Neigus returned to his original position with a slight surprise.

I was pulled - Eterna, who felt that way, regains her calm again and sits back in the chair.

"... I want to finish the meeting first"

"It's a festival meeting that gave you the country, right? It's not like you can do it in the worst possible state of mind like you were soaked in such a hell of a mud. I'm in trouble without Ink, because my seat is next door."

"Then what? Another day."

"First, why don't you tell Ink why you did it?"

The witch narrows her eyes and sneers at Negas.

But she doesn't look like she's kidding me.

I'm not chilling, it seems like I'm seriously going to get into a consultation.

"I don't understand why you care so much"

I turned my gaze out the window and said irritably.

"You can't leave us alone as a couple the same age."

"Not a couple!

"That's the thing. Do you have a reason to get annoyed and deny it? As for me, I wish I could just accept Ink's feelings and go out with him..."

"If it's that easy, I haven't bothered you since the beginning. No!

When Eterna gets up in momentum, she slaps her desk hard with her left hand.

Unexpectedly reclining, Neigus.

Don't step in any further - it also seemed like she was drawing a line, but it is still she who comes in with the zuke.

"... anyway, because this is about me and ink"

"That's not true, is it? When Ink is depressed, Saila is sad too"

"Growth comes with pain"

"That's a commonly used line for excuses, isn't it? I don't think so."

"Necessary to be independent"

"Hey, aren't you thinking a lot because of the difference in years, or because you can't be happy on your own? That's no use, no use. If feelings are real, then how much excuse did you have to keep away from them?"

"The relationship between Sarah and Negas and we are different"

"What difference does it make?"

"Because I am the guardian of that child."

The decisive difference was there.

Flam and Milkit, Saila and Negas - their relationship was to some extent EVEN.

Eterna and ink are different.

No, I guess Eterna's different, to be exact.

That's what I was seeing.

Four years ago, I treated him innocently because he was a child, and I never thought deeply about it in the fight, but as I spent time with him, I added mess and extra luxury.

"As an adult, I have to protect you properly"

A sense of responsibility.

Ethics.

Common sense.

It's just a restraint, but it seems necessary, because that's the “truth" argument.

"That's a pain in the ass"

It's no bother.

"Is that what you need in your life?

"I don't want it. Because it's not normal from the start, and it's not something you can go back to. But... ink is different. I'm only fifteen. I can live normally."

"Normal, what? What kind of living is that?

"Get away from me, see the wider world, meet all kinds of people"

"You're vague."

"Not really. I also plan to be admitted to the Royal School of Magic"

"It's... it's a big school next time it's newly established. Sure, the whole dorm system."

"If you touch students with a wide variety of values, you're sure to expand the ink world as well. So I guess... you should also meet someone who seems nicer than me"

Eterna is not unsure of herself.

I'm just not convinced by the ink that tells me it's only recently that I'm blind, as if she's the best in the world.

"I'm sure there are people in the world who can be much happier about ink than I am"

"You're not sure?

"It's not like that"

"No, I'm not sure about that. I assure you, it's impossible, that. You're the only one who can make Ink happy."

"I don't know"

"It's not obvious if you're looking at that kid's face. Though Eterna seems to know about it. Well, I see you're in a hurry."

"That's not true, I've always been a normal mind"

"Odd, I thought when Ink's eyes became visible, he'd go away disappointed in his appearance."

"No."

Although I tried to deny it immediately - it was true.

If you look like your own child, the ink will surely be disillusioned.

That's what I was expecting.

"But unexpectedly, instead of leaving, the approach became more intense than before"

"If not, not"

I won't admit anything, Eterna.

But because of the continuous poking of the stars, the expression is irritating.

To push him further, Negas can't loosen his words.

"Hey Eterna, Ink is definitely a water attribute, right? I think it would be better to teach you, the first master, not to go to magic school."

"I can't help but say that the future ahead had only power. It's the first time I've honed my humanity..."

"Seems like he expects me to like someone else, but I guess I'd say to him, 'I knew how nice Eterna would be if I was looking at someone else'"

"Ugh..."

"See, that's not what you think either. Besides, assuming you like someone else, can Eterna herself accept that?

"Oh... that's..."

In a way, the biggest problem is there.

If ink nostalgic to someone other than me, like I was doing to myself - I just imagined it would make my chest painful.

I'm honestly happy to be a guardian, and I'm in a corner of my mind.

But the more such a thing bounced off his fingertips alone, the more it was an overwhelming force.

"No problem."

Strengthening Eterna.

Of course, it can't be deceptive.

"You look like you only have a problem. By and large, how dare you keep your eyes so swollen? How dare you arrange excuses so far?"

"I can't believe I'm crying..."

Pointed out, Eterna touches the eye.

Then it was really wet there.

Earlier, he was crying at some point while he was thinking alone.

Without consciousness, pompous.

"You can manipulate water, but you can't manipulate your own tears."

"Because I haven't been able to say good things"

"I don't care about that, but if it's enough to cry, I think you should be extra honest with your feelings. I'm sure you'll regret dying later."

If Saila walks away from Negas - just imagine such a future, she wants to kill herself.

I'm sure Eterna will feel the same way in time as she does now.

But the trouble is, still, she had a reason to prioritize uncertain values that would be "right”.

"Nothing, I'm not being honest"

I'm not even going to lie to my feelings.

Everything is true.

It's not just that I want to throw it away without meaning.

"The more I think purely, the less I know"

Because I like it.

Because I love you, I think I shouldn't be around.

"What matters is not what you think, but what Ink thinks? You already know what makes them happy."

"... I'm jealous"

Suddenly what?

"I'm jealous of that confidence that I can say I can make them happier than anyone else"

In the end, that's where all the causes lie.

I also have a body thing.

There is also life.

I want ink to know a lot more about the world - and I feel like a parent who thinks so.

All in all, I wonder if the ink wouldn't make me happy if I stayed next to myself like this.

Yes, I have to think about it.

"It's a grand tour..."

"That's why I'm worried"

"Hey Eterna, I thought? I think you should be honest with me."

"What?

"Everything, everything. Why are you trying to throw it away, and why can't you be a lover? 'Cause Ink's dissatisfied with Eterna because she doesn't really show her favor, does she? You have your own expression of affection. I think we can talk about it a little more calmly."

"It was... I never thought about it"

I was trying to convey my intentions by pushing them away somehow - but if you think about it for a second, Neigus was right, it didn't need to be roundabout or anything.

Most of all, I don't know if you'll convince me from what I've told you.

Discussions with ink seeking affection as a lover may follow a parallel line in extension.

But - I don't even want Eterna to fight and do things that make the ink sad.

"So let's go find Ink"

"... sorry"

"It's okay. It's me, because I love sticking my neck in someone else's love path."

Heh, and Neigus puts out his tongue.

"Ha... I regretted I bowed my head just a little"

Eterna sighed loudly, but there was a grin in her mouth.

◇ ◇ ◇

The two of them who left the house activated the magic quickly.

Wind and water - Using the power of both of us, it's easy to find people.

With the precision of not even missing one of the rats lurking in the drain, we can cover the entire area of Concilia.

Looking for her running away and hiding in this way is going to piss her off 'sloppy' later.

"You haven't been that far yet, have you?"

"I don't even think I'm going somewhere I don't know"

The two focus on where they are now, widening their range of enemies one by one.

But - it never caught on.

"There's no response on the ground, underground or indoors."

"I'll spread it out a little bit"

"That's good, but I don't think we should be this far away from running"

I feel uncomfortable, Negas.

Still, Eterna continued her exploration, and - in a remote underground, not inked, she sensed an odd reaction.

The guy travels the waterway on four-legged foot and is heading somewhere at an unusual speed.

"... Neigus"

"I caught this one too, this move... you're not a normal creature"

"One possibility comes to my mind, though I don't really want to think about it"

"I guess I'm the same. But just in case, can I ask you something?

There was no intention of burning, but Eterna exhaled loudly before telling her its name.

"-" Kimyra ""

I didn't see it with this eye.

But I instinctively perceived that mysterious anomaly, which was neither a monster nor a person.

Apparently, Negas does the same thing, biting her lips and giving her a serious look.

And then... do-o-o-o-o! and the explosion sounded, and black smoke rose from the cathedral where Saila was supposed to be.

The two of you stand stunned by the strangeness that happens to keep you up.

"It's too peaceful, Barca."

On Eterna's ear, I heard a man in the wind.

I don't know who, but it's an obvious provocation.

Ten eighty-nine, it would still be the work of the "blood of God” who believes in Origin and repeats acts of terrorism.

They're trying to plunge Concilia into chaos by pouring out all the power they can have, aiming for Flam's absence.

Perhaps it was at their hands that I couldn't find ink looking for it.

"Ink......!

Eterna holds her fist in remorse and impudence.

Neigus disappears into the presence of a blinding enemy who steps into his sanctuary with earthfoot, causing a black flame to roll in his eyes.

And without even exchanging words, the two, at the same time, each rushed in a different direction.
