Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san?

Episode 20: I Can't Hear a Cicada - Part 2

Jack was trying to deal with Elvis and the others where he was found.

Most foreign enemies are powerless if they take away their mass with [nested permeable wings].

But when the Elvis and the others become opponents, they can't always say so.

It is not hard to imagine that if the brave men were to come, an upset would run on the immigrants.

It would be troublesome to interfere with the progress of immigration reception.

It was the unanimous view of the Dimkurd leadership, including Jack, that they wanted to treat the brave men as secretly as possible.

"Gawayne is injured. To cure this, the brave men are likely to break into the castle.

I dare to miss this and put Keri on in the castle. Different? "

The objection did not rise from anyone.

I was just about to move on to actual work, and a report goes in under Jack.

Jack, who was slightly eartipped carefully by a conductor who came in a hurry, creased between his eyebrows.

"... Samizina...?

After being silent for a while, Jack told Aaron that he was present:

I'll take care of Elvis and the others.

"You're pushing the big player."

"And be strict with everyone to never come close to the rear palace. Or you'll die."

"... are you finally out?

Jack didn't answer Aaron's deeply meaningful question just by glancing at him.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

Elvis and the others were approaching Demon King Castle in the heart of a high-rise architectural district.

"The King's Eye roughly grasped the placement of security."

"Until sight, hearing, and smell, I deceive. But I think we can pull it out to this extent, monkey.

"If I have to, I'll force you to break through. I'll take care of the exposures!

Gawayne is carried by Elvis.

faint, but he did breathe.

Hurry up and use the healing device that says it's in the basement of Demon King's Castle and it's bound to help.

Something happened and the gate was still closed.

But the walls of about a few meters will not be an obstacle to the Elvis and the others.

Build a scaffold of high pressure atmosphere and get over the walls.

"That window over there is open. Anyone in there?

"... it's okay. There's nobody here."

"No...!

The intrusion into the castle itself was easy if Ruby, a professional infiltrator, was combined with the ability to fight the enemy by "King's Eye".

But the moment they enter a garbage room that looks like an arsenal, Elvis realizes it's not that easy.

"... this air...!

"Dude...... I miss you a lot."

"That time......!!

"Wang Eye" has a narrower horizon.

And within that field of view, there were many signs of something unusual.

"Dungeons......! [Labyrinth of Trials]!!

Seven years ago, the power that triggered the tragedy once again stands in front of Elvis and the others.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

Its woods, which spread by the rear palace, were strictly forbidden to enter.

If there are no special, fierce animals out there, there are no dangerous terrain.

It was more of an idyllic forest that seemed like it could be used for a picnic.

Samizina doesn't know why this forest is off-limits.

But I could deduce.

This forest is by the rear palace.

And the rear palace is set up in the form of a diversion of Jack's raw house - Count Lieber's mansion.

So, I'm sure this forest has Jack's memories.

Perhaps... memories with her that she was a childhood friend, also.

In that forest.

Samizina was brought to the square where the trees opened.

The man in the jacket doesn't tie Samizina up or twist her.

After I brought him to this square, he left him as if he was already in use and sat down on the stump.

And he looks silently at the square where all the grass is grown.

(This man... what the hell is His Majesty's?

I know Jack, he said.

Samizina thought the word was not a lie.

Because...

Until he came to this square, he was not lost for a moment.

It's as if I've taken a leg in this square more than once...

"... hey"

"What?"

Unexpectedly, a man spoke to me.

The gaze is not for Samizina.

"You're Jack's first chamber, aren't you?

"Ha... yes. Once..."

Samizina nodded as she was surprised that she was abandoning the Demon King.

"From what you can tell, what kind of man is Jack Lieber?

"What..."

Samizina rebuffed the emotions and memories that were in her.

Take the time to translate that into the right words.

"... very... sad person, I think"

"Sad?"

"Yeah... to me, Your Majesty is not supposed to be the kind of person who would call himself the Demon King... He's really sweeter... all sorts of misfortunes overlapped and I just had to be the Demon King... I wonder if that's who he is..."

The more I put it into words, the less confident I felt, but that was the feeling I had to fake.

Hopefully, I'd like to see Jack not the Demon King.

I can say with certainty that he must be a very nice man.

It is not only because of his outrage as the Demon King that he is worshipped by the people of Dimkurd.

People admire him because he's a nice guy.

That's how it's become the destroyer of the world.

It only seemed to Samizina that things like God and Destiny were because they were terribly mean to him.

"... right"

The man's answer was surprisingly gentle.

I thought I was exactly a man with a grudge against Jack, but that voice included, perhaps, dear.

"That's what Jack Lieber is supposed to be... I couldn't have been a demon king or anything. Something (...) distorted him. There's something (...) that we can't even..."

- Something.

The expression came oddly well.

Samigina felt it, too, touching the fold.

that Jack is fighting something no one else can see (...).

"So we have to stop... We have to stop him trying to go the wrong way.

Defeat the Demon King (...). To that end… "

Seeing him squirming as he looked up at the purifying sun - for a moment, stormy emotions swirled around Samizina's chest.

(... what, this...?

Instead of naming it, I don't even know its shape.

There are all kinds of emotions mixed together and they don't retain their original form.

Whether it's positive or negative, I can't even capture that.

(... he... what the hell, what?

Again, I wondered.

It was then.

On the ground of the square, a shadow fell.

The sun of purification, shining in Jomtien.

It will bring an end to the world, let it bear its back.

One young man was looking down at the square.

I look up at that, and the man in the jacket gets up, too.

"Relieved."

With a slight laugh, the man spoke to the Demon King.

"Assuming I was a scumbag like abandoning my daughter-in-law, I wondered what I would do"

"I'll have Samizina back"

"I'll give it back. If only you would stop being a demon king. Run as many happy marriages as you can."

Jack frowns uncomfortably.

And I told him.

"How about it's time we show ourselves who we are?

The man laughed slightly.

"If my memory is certain, you can only use up to two types of spirituality at the same time. You'll be cramped like that - I'm not as weak right now as the other guy works in one job."

The man...

- Answer with a completely different voice than before.

"Yep (...)... right (...)"

The man's body was wrapped in a pale light.

The height, which was the middle of the middle meat, shrinks by about ten centimeters, and even the contours change.

Long hair spread on my back.

A linear body appeared with curved ups and downs.

And your ears point in the triangle and stretch long.

That was a form peculiar to the Elves.

When the light fades away.

What stood there was not a man, but a girl of the same age as Jack.

Long hair is blue as the sea.

Rich breasts are pushing heavily up the robes that make it difficult for the body to line up.

Even though she was a girl and a luxurious physique, her presence emanating from all over her body was overwhelming.

"Sorry I'm late"

In a clear voice, the elf girl tells the Demon King.

"I'm here to clean up the mess of my apprentice... Jack"
