Grimoire x Reverse ~Reincarnated Demon Romance Tale~

Episode XII: The Town of Water, Marmira VI: The Song of Thoughts to Give Before the Grave

"... When I was there, the empire was a society where demons were abused. Humans vary, they just make you a tool no matter how magical you have. As a ruling class, humans reigned, and the Demons were often treated like slaves."

Hiiragi shrugged as he accompanied that grave with a bunch of white, tiny flowers, which he had picked on his way back from Empire City to Marmira.

After that, I was back again in the evening to the abandoned village of Lehne.

Wait for the timing of the evening and visit Marmira again at the behest of a breathtaking leech.

I took a peek at the institute, but there was no sign of Digirre in the place where he had fallen asleep. Where the hell is that bastard?

I just don't know.

You said you couldn't leave a leech with a slightly more trendy impression than looking for Digirre with your blood eye. I don't know.

When I asked you why you wanted to go to Marmira, you said you couldn't come to the grave. I decided to wait a little back and watch her visit to her grave because that's what I'm going to do.

The moon is a beautiful night. It's a perfect half month.

"... don't ask me about the devil's treatment."

"The Imperial College only compiles a convenient history, doesn't it? Sten said so."

"Well, well."

I was a little surprised to hear about the Imperial College business here, but they could do it. I mean, with the marshal... the academy was asking me pretty much what the first seat had mastered, but isn't it because the marshal doesn't have power either? Can't His Majesty the Former Emperor help it?

"So, I'm no exception. Saved by one human being where he was caught and about to be enslaved. That's Garland… General of Time"

Hiiragi said that far and looked back behind himself.

Its splendid tombstone, lit by moonlight, is just there in silence.

The landscape brewed by that headstone hill, coupled with her silver tail, was fantastic, and somewhere sad.

"It was pretty rough, and I was going to get away with it if there was a gap... but that's when he kept kidding and giving me a little bit. I don't remember how many times I got rid of them with fox fire."

"That's an enviable relationship."

"He said yours is terrible.... That's the time. One project by Talos V was launched."

"Project A?

"" First Imperial Magic Guidance Research Project. "The actual thing was to suck out the magic of the demons that Talos V was forced to gather and separate them from their souls to produce the Magic Guided Nuclear.... Magic is not something to dwell on in your soul. As a result, a demon tribe was born that would unleash strange magic all the time, like me"

"... so?

"The other demons were almost killed, but Garland protected me.... but there was no need to protect it. Because Talos V caught on to fascinating magic."

"I see, I guessed the rest. And why you were called the bad girl of the Dungeons."

"... yes"

How can you laugh?

What a voice to speak to Hiragi, who looked back.

I can't choose the words I decorated. Like, I don't like dark vibes, or I don't like them.

"Wasn't he a good old man? You should report that you are alive because of your chest tightness."

"... yeah"

Hiiragi, crouched in front of the grave, seemed to be quietly hand in hand.

We won't have any more enemies attacking us, but let's keep our eyes shut for a while to keep us out of the way of Hiragi's grave visit.

It's getting a little cold at night.

Long time no see...... how white?

Even yesterday, I've actually come this far. Or they took me on the brink again because of Talos V.

I just fool myself in front of the grave before I talk to you hand in hand like this, and it's over. Sadly, I've been trapped in a rock for about a hundred years since it was sealed, but the way it was done made me so weak... now I'm not half as strong as I was when I met you.

And I'm pretty sure Talos V is involved, but I even had a weird organization. Even in Garland, I don't know if I can beat them.

Demonic exclusion, what a selfish story.

Because of such an organization, the Empire is now a great nation. There must have been an emerging nation called the Republic. I was a little surprised when I found out that one had already been swallowed up lightly.

Maybe that's what I can "report" to Garland.

... and one thing I forgot to mention and one thing I couldn't. And then there's one thing I want to say.

... thanks.

Oh, my God.

I don't think I ever thanked you that much. But thank you so much for everything. You protected me, you helped me, and gradually, gradually, I could be a proper "person".

It was painful, though it might have been more that way than that. Still, I think I can live like this thanks to you being a little bitter with no sexual punishment.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for putting your hands down. Thanks for the warm routine.

Thanks for protecting me. Emotions, thanks for the joy.

Thanks for the shelter.... really, thank you.

It's been a year I've lived, a painful but people-lived year.

... It's not Gala, and if it's true, I wanted to tell you properly, not in front of the grave. It's bad because you're gonna die while it's sealed. I don't know what it is, but that little girl is alive to be a monster.... That's really just a mystery though.

Then, something I couldn't tell you.

What I couldn't tell you is, well, yeah, it's something I couldn't tell you in my lifetime, so I'm still awfully embarrassed, and I could see the results either way, and now the results are gone for nothing.

You know, he snorted at me every time he called me "Dad" but... he said it over and over but I'm older!?

No, yeah, this isn't what I'm trying to say right now.

But let me be clear about this, because it's something I can't properly say.

... I'm a little nervous though.

Well, look, you're dead.

... even from the bottom of hell. "Terrible! It's terrible, Hiiragi!" I think I hear voices and I have a headache.

Something's kind of hard to remember like yesterday.

So, what is it?

Looks like you've always wanted to be a father.

...... yeah.

I liked you.

I even thought about telling him just before it was sealed, but I couldn't do it a little bit. I wonder why.

Uh, it was refreshing when I said something.

The truth is, you wanted to come and tell me this. The untrained that I left behind in the Empire was because I wanted to go see what was going on with the tyranny of Talos V and then I wanted to tell you.

Well, maybe you're confused by the word now. That would be right. I'm not going to show you that.

And you liked it. That's all I know. Me, too.

Ma, it's good to be told now that I couldn't tell you because of all those signs and my weakness as well.

If it's true, now there's no untrained in the Empire. I just thought I'd go somewhere...

I was hitting on you because of your father. So I'm just going to tell you one more thing.

Yeah, that's the last "thing I want to say".

To Marmira, or to the Empire, I don't know when I'll be next. Maybe I'll never be able to talk about it in my lifetime, so on the contrary, how can I justify myself?

It's not that hard.

I don't know, you were pretty good, too.

I loved it. More than you, there's one guy I'm kidding.

That's the guy who can't help it anymore, even when he's talking serious. Don't you think that's a bad idea?

But... you've only been with me for seven days or so, all the way to the Empire. As always, I kept saying things in good shape, and for a moment after being told I didn't know why I was late because I was in the women's bathroom to name a few... but still, kidding as usual, he helped me.

Keep your mouth shut. It's just cool. It's a good story, but put your och on till this time. I'm really kidding, man. I had no idea I was going to use the words I was saying to you so far on another guy.

... from the time we met, only make silly remarks and relax.

Relax and be surrounded by enemies, and still don't let the fine dust upset you.

Save me from dying. At that time, I was going to sign an instant family contract in the sense of thanksgiving, but I got resisted and the other way around, and I got a family member... Can you believe that? Why did you keep doing that contract because you wanted a fellow traveler?

So, make a little journey while you keep talking really crap. We had some strange encounters, but it was a lot of fun, including that.

It was fun.

You don't have to think about it, it's just a reflex, stupid interaction and a fumbling journey toward ambiguous goals. It was awesome, free, like a wild life... and for me to be bound all the time, it was a dream journey.

I think it's something I've often tried to make such a smooth journey by holding me back only thinking about hurrying up to see what's going on in Imperial City. You know how selfish that joke guy is around here, don't you?

Marmira, I was wondering if it would be bad if I bothered to let her follow me to the grave.

So I broke up and I was targeted like I was being timed.

He was weak, too, and he was lightly hit. They took me away, and when I woke up, before Talos V. I was so scared. My hands shook. Why are you still alive... I should have heard you, but I was just scared to hear your voice.

I'm so tired of crying out loud.

There, he came for sightseeing - something like that.

That's all I felt anymore, even though my heart felt a little tight. In the words of Talos V, there seems to be a great deal of room.

"A hundred years ago, well, I might have given up a hundred steps and it was yours... now it's mine"

Word for word, I remember.

When I heard something about it.

I'm already... blushing like a child... yeah. I couldn't.

I'll never put it in my mouth, and I'm always going to pierce the street in front of him. But no. That being said, there's no way I'm not going to fall for a bit of an addiction habit from the beginning.

The last thing I want to tell you... yes.

Really, I got a reason to live now, I guess.

I don't know what to say about the past, but I don't mean to.

I'm going to keep in mind the past (you) and live the rest of it.

So don't worry, I want you to stay asleep. There's been a lot going on, but I'm not dragging on the past. Untrained, because I came here to say no now. You're not gonna forget that, are you? Something that can't even be forgotten. But it doesn't strain.

... So this is goodbye.

Now, come say hello to the grave. Like today, I don't come to say hello to you in my lifetime, but to be cut off from you who's dead.

... because I decided not to drag it.

Oh, haha, goodbye, that's a little heartbreaking when you face it with a proper carving.

See, when I was sealed, I couldn't even say hello properly, could I?

So, now it's, like, funny...

I was under the dirt, and... I can't even see my face, it's not...

I won't drag you... and I'll accept your death... because I know...

But... for the last time... the truth is... I missed you, hey...

Goodbye, isn't it... already?

Because of that, yeah.

Because of this, I'll tell you about the last time.

Be thankful...!

"... Goodbye, Dad"

... Oh, my God.

Say it, try it...

"Am I done?

"Yeah, I'm done saying hello, that's enough."

"Come on."

When I stood up and looked back, Sten was staring up at the night sky. I thought the stars were thoughtful, and it's not like that. I'm just looking at them because they're beautiful. I love the scenery and the sales, and you really are a travel enjoy, aren't you, this guy?

……

"What are you looking at?"

"... no"

When I put the ghost killer I was carrying on a nearby tree for some reason, I made a big stretch. He turned his back on me and looked up at the sky again.

What the hell are you doing?

"I don't know if I've seen enough. Because my back is a little cold, I want you to use that wasting tail to warm it up... No, I want you to hug me from behind more than wasting tail today."

"Huh? What are you kidding..."

What are you really going to do?

At that time when I tried to yell back at the untranslatable words, Sten's, slightly serious eyes, who looked back only at his neck, suited me.

"... so you're willing to go home from the grave of a dead man with your face on?

"What?"

"I'm not supposed to look at you like that."

"... what's so annoying about it"

What is it?

What are you doing on me?

What are you talking about?

You think you look good? You are now because you are super funny.

"What's so upsetting, I'm the cool-guy now nestled beneath the stars of heaven -"

"Forward Waste"

"- Hey, listen, huh? Before?"

I said I didn't know why. The expression of Sten looks back at each body.

I jumped into its chest because I was upset.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

I'm going to mess with the dressing.

It's not a place where you can hide your back, it's a frontal mess.

"... uh, well, if you want, that's fine"

"Now... Higu... now I can give you the right to touch my ear... okay... uhh..."

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll stroke you. Suddenly you're so sweet."

"It's sweet..."

"Cry till it's clear. Tomorrow as usual with teasing. Pleasantly nice wandering. So do whatever you want without even looking at it."

"... because I don't know anymore!! If you catch a cold!

"Fools don't have a cold..."

It was the limit.

I raised my voice and cried.

Throw away the shame, the outside world, and the momentum that pushes all of today away.

Even, I cried.
