Grimoire x Reverse ~Reincarnated Demon Romance Tale~

Episode XVII: Merikide II: Romance

Lyudius Fossalena Grand Galea.

To be the prince of the kingdom, the best knight...... and well, that's how the instructions should have been written, and there was such an introduction among the fact Grimoire Lancer II.

... albeit the protagonists of this world with levels. It's still a growing stock, and I'm sure it hasn't reached its strongest range yet. It's with that one that gets weaker as soon as the guy facing senior in RPG joins his crew.

Anyway, Lyudius, the prince of that kingdom, stood before me. At this late hour, I was left alone with my people.

On the roof, in the breeze plundering your cheeks.

"... are you hurt yet?

"Ah, oh. Thanks to you."

When asked, Ludius nodded with a slight round of eyes. You mean you didn't think you could throw words like that from the Demons? Or was it some other emotion? Well.

"Should I not be here?

"... sorry. It would help if you could."

"... then Sten, because we're a little down there. I'll give you a signal if anything happens."

"Ho ho ho"

Raising his hand, Hiiragi jumped off the roof just right. He'll be able to fly, and there won't be a problem around.

"Sten."

"Am I?"

"Thanks."

"Ooh."

I couldn't look back, she said that and disappeared. I don't remember doing anything big, and I don't remember being able to. But, well, let's just say I'm happy you're feeling better now.

Now I hope we can even level together.

Well, Ludius, I mean, he said he needed me for something.

"Well, sit down. There was something I wanted to talk to you about one-on-one, and it's not like I'm sitting alone."

"... right. Oh, excuse me."

At the top of the roof, moving to the location of the building tree, me and Ludius sat face to face.

"Even booze is a breeze."

"Was that disrespectful?

"Oh, no, you're not. Until I asked her to agree that there was a temperament to talk about drinking at times like this. It's so hard."

"... I see, love"

So again, Lyudius looked around. There are no tall buildings around. Starlight is the only darkness in this city with small houses. The beauty of the starry sky looking up from it is routine but not bad.

It's a natural landscape in this world. But if that damages beauty, it doesn't. You can always call something beautiful beautiful, it's a waste of time to throw away that sensibility.

"... Sten, you were"

"Am I?"

It wasn't until a little while later that Lyudius cut it out.

Maybe he had chosen words for himself, or maybe he hadn't decided what topic it was in the first place.

You know, I don't know if I'm just here.

I can't even read my mind. Unlike this brown goddess.

"Thank you so much. I know that I, the Prince, should not bow my head lightly... but as just Lyudius, I want you to thank me.... Thank you"

"Ooh. No, I ended up leaving most of it to Yatano."

"Still, if you hadn't come, we'd be dead.... Helpful."

"Sort of."

The tone is what I am not ashamed of as a prince. But my eyes, my attitude, my lower back, and my sincere gratitude were also conveyed to me. I don't think all noble born humans are, but I knew it was different from the atmosphere, like this guy.

I mean, it's good to convey feelings… everything tells me clearly that respect and politeness are not the only means of expressing good faith.

I've seen it in the game as one of the protagonists, but... somehow it's just cool to be one of the protagonists. And this guy.

"... I want to thank you more than you helped me. I have nothing on my journey right now, though. When I come to the kingdom, I promise to thank you for something."

"Seriously. Then just one."

"If there is, I'll ask you anything I can do. But before you do, why don't you answer some questions?

"Hmm?"

I stood one finger wondering if it was the flow of wishing, but I was controlled by my hand at that. I don't know, why are you taking sides when you're a demon?

"... do you think we can beat the Demon King?

"You can't do it as it is now, can you?

"... I'm sorry, I didn't ask you the right way. Do you think if we try, we can defeat the Demon King?

"Oh, you know what?"

That was totally different, yes.

Thank you. I seem to have been humbled because I was too much in the environment of the Demonic Anti. Yeah, it's humble. Mr. Sten. Humiliated personality. Wow!

... well, anyway.

Lyudius' eyes were shaking.

I know what you're trying to say. I don't know what to say, but the Four Heavenly Kings I ran into today were overloaded by the Crains today. I know why, very simply because the braulement took in pieces of beads, more than they were not level enough.

The Braulement of "Reason", which was supposed to fight on the Vital Plains by Eden, the capital of the Holy See. It should have been a muscle that disappeared leaving a clue to the "scale" Rex, but it had an unusual strength to just leap out onto the streets without a wagon.

In addition, my presence and the appearance of Mr. Veroche. A medium boss who is supposed to appear a little later and a strong character who shouldn't show up until the end. A continuous encounter with Yatano, who at the end of the day doesn't appear in any way in II, or with Digire, who hasn't come during the making in the first place.

For them who haven't even changed their class, opponents of different stature will have emerged with a rush of rage. Losing confidence, I can't help it.

"... Crain, he's a great guy. I'm always looking forward, believing that I'll always be able to win, and going all the way up even with trial and error.... I can't be that much of a gumshara"

"I thought you were more confident, but that's surprising"

I thought so, or did I in the making?

"You can't be confident even though you don't have the strength. I have met many times on this journey, far stronger than myself. That's no exception to you.... No, you were the best turning point"

"I don't. I'm not making a big deal of it, when we met in the Alphan Mountains?

"As was the case then, it is an empire to the extreme. I've lost confidence in myself since I saw you fight the Commander of Magic."

……

"It wasn't a bad thing. I knew the breadth of the world and was able to become greedy for strength. But... I'm worried about the unseen situation ahead."

Grasping his hand, Lyudius says, staring at the fist he was able to make.

I naturally didn't know you were exposed to such a problem, but would you come and talk to me about it?... I kind of feel like a pretty important factor.

RPG is the scene where scenario stills and movies come in. A story that the player's will doesn't intervene in, it always passes.

Either way, I can't be unrelated to these guys anymore. Instead, they've affected a pretty deep part of me.... It's annoying.

"... so, talk to me? Stupid?"

"Consultation. Can we be strong enough to fight the Demon King's Army?"

"I can be"

"Huh..."

He was surprised at the instant answer.

Peek into my face with a slightly surprised look.

"That, based on"

"Only Crain can defeat the Demon King. I can't tell you the details, but he's the only one who can stab Todome. And...... your level cap is still a long way off. I could be stronger. … the story is only at the beginning"

"... the story is still at the beginning...?

"I mean, it would have been a long way ahead to run into me and Mr. Veroche. You don't have to hit the wall. There is still as much respite as there is. I have time to be stronger. Right... if you can afford the time, you should go to the Giant Wall Dungeon east of the Principality. If you even hunt a guy named Tebene, he'll be amazingly strong at some point."

"... Giant Wall... Thebenne..."

It's a hunting ground, as they say. A monster named Tebene slowly drops his experience. If you're just hunting them, and you're going to get twice as much experience defeating the usual monsters and warcraft, there's less reason why you shouldn't.

"... thanks. Once we're done with Justa, we're headed to the Principality."

"Uh, that's it."

"What?

When you scratch the back of your head with puffiness, it's when you have unspeakable, difficult emotions to convey. But without any particular emotion for my behavior, Lyudius tilted his neck with no expression.

"To Eden, the capital of the Holy See, you should go. Crain-kun's hometown is in danger."

"Huh...!!

Breathtaking Lyudius, but this is true.

We made it to the demon king's army invasion of Eden, the capital of the Holy Land, thanks to the fact that we were chasing Justa in the game, too, and that's why we're going to fight the Braulement of reason.

Besides, this time, I don't know what kind of move Mr. Veroche makes. I can hardly read what moves the Demon King's Army will make with signs joking about the "Eden Invasion Festival of the Holy Capital," etc., and if the "mentor" is going to join the war there, I'm the only one who can do it.

"... well, so are you..."

"Am I?"

"No, it's nothing. All right, let's keep it in mind around there.... kind of neat. I'm so glad I told you."

"Well, more than anything."

With a blown out look somewhere, Lyudius laughs.

Sitting back, gazing at each other, he said as he raised his mouth angle.

"Then let's thank you when we come to Wang Du. What do you want?

"Oh, that's it. Just let me in and show you the royal castle."

"... what?

"No, you can't let royal castles in. I just wanted to take a tour."

…………

"Lyudius?"

"Ha... ha! Right, right, or sightseeing! It would be good. Because of this, this second prince, Lyudius Fossalena Grand Galea, will show you around one by one! Right... Sten, you're really funny"

The King's Castle is a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, too! It can't be said, for example.

It laughed happily at Lyudius, and I laughed for a while. Although it was somewhat of a dry laugh.

Should I have given you half the world or something?

No, but it's a royal castle that only lets you in at Lyudius events that happen in the kingdom, right? You want in.

"Ha ha... ha"

He laughed once and was satisfied, and Ludius turned to me. That look so serious that it doesn't make you feel like you've had a good time before, and you're going to get up for a moment.

But that word that leaked from him was not like he was exposed to such intimidation.

"Let's promise. Be sure to take him sightseeing. … say thank you, but let me just check one more thing"

"Am I?"

"You're a demon. It's also a high-ranking ghost tribe, a demon. Still, you helped us this time without belonging to the Demon King's Army. I want to ask on top of that. Are you... on your side?

The question of whether it was on its side did not seem to me that only the words on the table simply remained the true meaning.

That is, "Can I believe it".

Oh, my God.

Talk as much as you can, but champagnes like me get weird credit for the main characters. The story must be about going down the road now.

Only one foreign body named me mixed up, so far the world will be transformed? Funny.

Sure, I don't know what's gonna happen. But there's only one thing I can say.

And that, too, is the answer Lyudius is looking for.

Then take responsibility for yourself, and I'll decide how to live here.

Looking at Lyudius, he seemed as stiff as he was at the beginning somewhere. That's right, I don't mind if they give me the vague answer back here.

If so.

"Until the day Crain Farbnil defeats the Demon King, I will not be your enemy no matter what. Don't worry."

Laughing softly at him and saying so, Ludius also shrugged for a moment, then showed his teeth small and laughed. You're the right guy for a cool way to laugh. This guy.

"That's... oh, I'm relieved. I believe you."

"Do that."

"... Well, everything I was carrying in here by the time I climbed up, I broke it off and disappeared. Somehow, I feel refreshed."

"It's dawning at night... what do you say, don't you think this is a flair too?

If you ask me, I don't know how many times I've seen it today. A decent look on Ludius's face.

A morning burn with a piece on all the problems and seen while stretching out big on the roof.

For a while Lyudius stared at the sunrise.

And slowly turn your gaze toward me.

"Next time I see you, let's teach you something else called romance. You seem to know more about the King's vessel than you do."

"I can't do this. I can't. I guess I am. I like to be romantic. This kind of, like, flavors and currents, kingdoms, iron plates...... romantic. That's where I come from."

"Oh well... romantic"

Fun enough, Ludius also laughed and looked forward to the morning sun climbing blurry for both of us.
