Hyaku Ma No Aruji

"As planned, Miss Juliana returned it once over there. With Caesar, of course."

Thousand Year Pavilion Millenium.

In the dining room on the first floor, the demon kings were gathered.

The inn, which was originally close to lending, has few outsiders.

"For one thing, Caesar is on this side when it comes to Miss Juliana, so your safety for the time being will be ensured. I think Caesar will follow up on Miss Juliana's little failure this time too"

……

To Shaw's explanation, Merea nods heavily.

"If I had more power from the start, I wouldn't have let Juliana do this."

"You're not the only one. To us, to be precise."

Elma replied to the words Melea had spilled.

"... but" Light Demon "? From what I've heard, you seem like a hard one to convince."

Merea and the others returned Juliana to Sisalis' nostalgia again.

To buy time to persuade the sister and brother of the Light Demon while they are safe.

- Now, is it really good?

Despite Juliana's suggestion and permission, Melea still couldn't forgive herself for taking these means.

Even with Caesar's internal helper, naturally, it's not without danger.

I'm not sure if all those "Light Demon" words are true in the first place.

- Shit.

But even if I thought so, it should be noted that I couldn't ignore them.

"Don't blame yourself too much, Melea. If you had immediately abandoned those demon kings, we might not have forgiven you."

To Melea like that, Elma said again.

"Perhaps there is no right answer to this problem"

Elma, who said so, also had a sinking look on her face.

"... I know. I know that."

That's why I, the chief, shouldn't have gotten lost.

Merea had in her heart thought about what it meant to be the head of the Demon King's Union.

◆ ◆ ◆

This time, there was still a respite.

There was also Juliana's cooperation.

But the next time something like this happens, it doesn't take me long to get this respite.

When you are in a situation where you are asked to make an immediate decision, your straying like this one can be fatal.

If you're in a situation where you have to cut one of them off, it's you who has to make that decision.

I'm sure I'm not ready to carry that load yet.

"Now, you're pretty serious about these things."

Fu, Shaw smiled bitterly and told Melea.

"Well, that's what it feels like. But soon, if you think too much about the lack of answers, it breaks your body, right?

"... oh"

"Besides, we have to do something about it first now"

Exactly.

I can still think like this.

Already Juliana sent it back.

In order not to waste her devotion, it is first of all a prerequisite to be prepared to convince the [Light Demons], and indeed to rescue Juliana again.

Melea raised her face.

"Shaw. How much more time can you buy"

"Depending on Caesar's arm, is it about a week for delaying a performance using the following" Magic Demon's Eye "concomitantly? Because there seems to be some preparation over there. It's just, if it goes hard, it could go faster."

"A week..."

When Melea heard about the period, she vaguely thought 'too long'.

So say.

"No, a week's too long"

In a week we will leave many possibilities for something to happen in the meantime.

All I should think about is Juliana's safety first and foremost.

"... three days"

said Melea.

"I'll do something in three days. Let's do what we can in the meantime."

And Merea brought the words that followed to her heart.

The truth is, I want to gather as many ingredients as I can reliably convince the [Light Demons] before moving.

But then Juliana's having a hard time.

◆ ◆ ◆

I can't save the demon king in front of me, so what are we gonna do?

◆ ◆ ◆

My own arm wasn't long enough to hold everything at once yet.

After acknowledging that, we must identify exactly the path to take.

If you're an arm that can't reach you as it stands, and you're just pursuing far away, and ignoring the light in front of you,

- Cut off your arm like that.

When a reprimand against herself appeared in her heart, her quiet (softly) expression could not disappear from Merea's face.

"If, in the last three days, nothing could be done -"

Merea had to speak of the possibility.

That is my responsibility for trying to take Juliana's hand, as well as my responsibility as head of the League of Demon Kings.

"The sister and brother of the Light Demon..."

Merea is suddenly about to scratch the next word.

But after a beat, I opened my mouth.

"- 'I'm leaving'"

- Remember that on your own back, the lives of twenty-two demon kings, including Juliana, are already on board.

The other demon kings did not return a denial to the words of Merea, who groaned.

They also felt strongly impudent that they were not powerful enough to convince themselves of them at once.

"But if they've reached for salvation in the meantime, I'll pick up that hand for whatever it is. With Juliana."

But it has not yet been decided that it will fail.

Merea said with a strong will again in those red eyes.

The demon kings also receive Melea's determination to light a sharp light in their eyes.

- Let's go.

And Merea gathered everyone's gaze again.

"... he looked unusual. I'll do everything in my power to get that lapse back."

Says Melea as she swings her arms out horizontally.

Snow and white hair quietly, but somewhere powerful and shaky.

"To grab the hand of the Demon King, who sought salvation, again"

To the word of the LORD, the demon kings returned a powerful nod in unison.

They reaffirmed that day how hopeless they were.

And I knew how irrational demands the world might have on us right now.

Still, in the end, I had to scratch my feet.

Once you've considered all the possibilities, there's no such thing as the right answer.

Even if there was a mix of lies in the material of the judgment, I just have to keep thinking seriously about it. So confused.

But if you give up because that's absurd, then that's what makes no sense.

Because I don't see the future, maybe I'll regret that choice later.

- Right now, I'm going to grab the hand in front of me.

At the end of the day, we have to make up our minds and move.

From this moment on, there was no more for Melea to worry about in Virginia.

In the city of art, the last rescue play around the two "Demon Kings" was about to begin.
