Episode 236: "For Who?

"What do you think of him now, Alicia?"

Caesar asked as he watched Shaw meet Zaimood with his golden sword.

……

"You're going to laugh." When the three of us were running up Carraris Hill, we didn't have that much energy, but we could fight alone sometime. "

Alicia looked at Caesar's bitter smile, making her reluctantly understand that what was happening in front of her was real.

You must have made the Thesaurus so big to protect Evans, who had to live a tough world as [Demon King].

- That's right.

It was already clear from a certain point that he would walk in the backwash that he could not face an ordinary person.

Even though it was desperate to be born a descendant of the Windsor family, who produced the evil demon king and bought a lot of grudges, the influence of Moosegger's [Demon King Hunt] caused the others to be chased as the [Demon King].

In this era, he had the power to wield more ferocity than the common demon king in a sense, and he was clearly aiming at the nature of the technique that was not suitable for battle.

Even so, he is still alive.

It's a little more ironic than it used to be, but the roots don't change.

At the end of the sentence, you're helping yourself.

"I..."

“Maybe there's a lot of ways to do it.”

Caesar spoke as if to interrupt.

“I think you're right. I'll prove it to you. I've seen you all my life. --But it might not have been a very good idea."

"So, what was the other way...!"

If there is a good way to solve everything, I have already done so.

--I only had this abominable power.

Born in the last seat of Heart Emperor .

And ironically, I didn't have the power to resist the world except to be evaded as the [Demon King].

But still, I thought he was better than me.

If you can read your mind, you can understand what people want.

When people get the words they want, they immediately forgive their hearts.

That's how we gathered the demons and the demon king.

“I don't know if there was a good way to solve everything. I am sorry that I do not have an answer to that. But I can see that your chosen method probably failed. And I hate myself more than anything for not being able to help you until this happens."

She was sure that the word "if she had the strength" would come to Alicia's mind, and that Caesar would probably have thought of the same word.

"But I can't even start complaining." Me, you, and him, in the power we have, we have no choice but to do what we can. This world is not as sweet as a comedy, but it is not set to be a tragedy. That's why we keep dancing to make this stage a comedy. "

"... as usual, it's a theatrical rhetoric"

"Because it's sexual."

Caesar's gaze, laughing in distress, shifted to Shaw again.

Zaimud was preparing to activate the magic trick as Shaw attacked.

I think it's about time.

Shaw also activates his alchemy against Zaimud.

Everything in my sight turned into gold, and eventually the angel statue of Qingwen was stained with glorious gold.

Haha, that's a bad hobby.

"... not at all."

At this time, there was no one to pray for, and the angel statue that had only slowly decayed was felt very divine.

◆◆◆

"Damn...!"

"You don't know how to dance." Then you can't entertain the crowd. ”

Since the alchemy ceremony, Shaw was overwhelming.

Zaimood uses his golden shield to prevent all ranged moves, and returns the golden sword he smelted from the universe without putting it in his hair.

Dancing countless golden swords with one fingertip was like being the conductor of an orchestra.

"The Windsor family...?"

"Please don't be angry." I'm not angry with you, either. "

One of Shaw's golden swords pierced Zaimoud's instep.

"Gahh!"

"It's a good scream, you look better than you look."

Zaimood quickly pulled out the golden sword with his hand, but the agility had already disappeared.

"Demon kings! What are you waiting for!"

Zaimoud's evil was to his fellow Demon Kings, who had left him upstairs.

< Shadow King > The demon kings left behind to attract Origa are still out there.

"Sanwen plays are now on the board." I see that you are struggling to grasp the human heart more than you expected. ”

Shaw raises an eyebrow and stares at Zaimood.

"When I saw that another bundle of white clothes didn't come during this time, I could see that there weren't many demon kings in your group." Some of them pledge their unchanging loyalty to Pope Thessalis, like the Shadow King, and some of them, perhaps, are part of Moosega. ”

Shaw groaned at the idea with his hands on his chin. Then two more golden swords rolled over Zaimood's feet.

"I'm in trouble." I remembered that Serious-Blood-Moseg used the [Demon King] s alive instead of taking and killing them. It is a troublesome advance that we cannot imagine from the beginning.... does it have something to do with me losing to Merea once? "

Shaw no longer looks at the Zaimud in front of him.

Zaimood's voice was rough, as if he had already decided to win or lose.

"You think you're proud to win!" Evans-Lynn-Windsor! I'm not dead yet! "

"--Do you have a desire to fight to the death?"

In an instant, a sharp ray of light flashed through Shaw's eyes, shooting through Zymood.

"Ugh!"

The barometric pressure is easily understood by Zymood's gaze.

"With the [Demon King], the Pope of Thessalis, as his shield, he only spends money behind his back, and he doesn't stand on the arrow." It doesn't mean you have to come forward, but at least I don't think you really understand what it's like to risk your life. ”

"What are you doing...!"

“Your ideals are thin. This situation proves it."

Shaw slowly moved closer to Zaimud.

"A disadvantage that can already be overturned by one's own power alone. These things are fools and fools. The outlook is too sweet. If the plan was to collapse like this, wouldn't it be better not to make a plan? Do everything you can and risk your life for the first time when you're no match. You're not even standing in front of the gates of life-threatening behavior."

The difference between a living world.

I was born in adversity, and if I made a mistake after being released into the wild, I could easily be hunted for my life.

So Shaw stood around the world to the best of his ability.

"The purpose is to achieve. It's not to get intoxicated."

Shaw thrust the golden sword in his right hand against Zaimood's neck.

There was no sign of Zaimood moving, whose legs had already been pierced with another golden sword.

“If you were really going to beat me, you should have pulled out, run, and regained your legs.”

Shaw gazed at Zaimood with his pale, coldly lit eyes, and finally grabbed the golden sword with both hands.

"Oh, I got it!" I'm losing! "

Then Zaimoud raised his hands and shouted, saying that he had just noticed.

"I'll stop taking revenge on Windsor... the Baldra family will lose."

……

"Oh, yeah, let's lend our capital to Windsor." You're going to buy Windsor back from Thesaris, aren't you? It costs a lot of money. Even with the Sherwood Chamber of Commerce, there's a limit to how much money you can make. We have the same roots. Let's work together again to regain the nation of merchants, just like Windsor and Baldra once did. ”

Shaw looks at Zymood with a smile that he takes care of without moving.

And before long, he answered.

"You're making two mistakes."

Is that a mistake?

The moment Zaimood tried to strangely snap his neck, Shaw's golden sword slashed Zaimood's right arm in a single, unstoppable movement.

"Ah, ahhhhh! My arm! My arm!"

"One, I didn't put your help in the account from the beginning." I have already collected the necessary capital with the help of myself and my fellow members of the Chamber of Commerce who admire me like this. "

With another blow, the tip of the golden sword stroked Zaimoud's left eye.

Giggle!

“And one more thing: I'm hostile to you, not because you pulled a bow at me. This degree of harm is routine tea and meal for the [Demon King], and I only think that the noisy raven has come by."

Instead of Zaimoud holding his left eye with his remaining hand, Shaw suddenly turned his gaze to the side.

"Ah, I took out my hand inside my body. I was surprised to find myself indignant about it."

Alicia was at the forefront of the line of sight.
