Hyaku Ma No Aruji

- I can't believe I'm still here.

I'm surprised at myself.

The day my father fell to the blade and lost Windsor, I set a goal and decided to throw it all away.

--No, I thought so, but I guess I couldn't throw it away.

If I had really thrown it away, I wouldn't have played such a big fuss.

As Shau-Joule-Sherwood, all he had to do was buy back the homeland by the means of Pope Thessalis.

- This is all their fault.

When I met the demon kings of the [Demon King's Union], I felt like I had them pick up what they were trying to throw away again.

"Oh, that's surprising, you threw away all your (...)..."

"Keep your mouth shut."

Have you noticed that Shaud saw Alicia? Zaimood said without a breath, but Shaud dominated it with a sharp word.

Alicia was unfit for the pope, no matter who looked at her.

It takes a certain dullness to stand on a person.

But she was a more delicate girl than anyone else, weak enough to be swung around by even the demon's eyes.

That's why I advised you. 'You can't do that.'

Caesar called it clumsy. Why didn't you tell me so I could understand?

I'm sorry about that.

But I couldn't afford it either.

- It's not worth it.

I think that's why it's happening now.

Like Merea, no matter how beautiful she thought she was, she still didn't want to save everything because of the narrowness of her measurements.

- I'm lucky.

The other [Demon Lords] of this era might get confused.

But I honestly thought so.

- I met Merea.

Some of them will still not meet Merea, fight the world on their own, or perish.

So, I'm lucky.

― ― The meaning of the word "Demon King" will definitely change soon.

At first, I tried to protect the snow by reclaiming Windsor and returning it to the merchant.

If it were to come true, my feelings as [Demon King] would be more or less relieved.

And, if necessary, as a single merchant, I was going to fight this helpless world my own way.

- That's the best I can do.

There is no such thing as atonement.

This is, in a sense, the answer of the loser, and it cannot be disputed that he has given up.

However, this was my own answer to the problem my father had put out.

- Absolutely not dressed up.

And now I'm trying to do another dirty thing.

She once again holds the discarded item in her arms.

--What would you say if you asked?

I thought of Merea's face in my head and imagined it.

"- Haha, yes, you would say that."

Shaw regains consciousness.

“I'm going to ask for it all again, no matter how unusual. Greedily, that's it--that's right, like the [Golden Dead]."

Shaw stood his golden sword beside his face and without hesitation pushed the tip of it.

◆◆◆

――

A chapel surrounded by silence.

"What... what...?"

There was a live Zymood figure with a puffy question mark on it.

There was a golden sword pierced right next to my face, but I only blurted my cheeks at the tip.

"Unfortunately, I am the 'Golden Dead'." Besides, my back is not wide enough to carry your life. "

"You're not going to kill me...?"

"If you think it's better to die, I'll use it." And if any man bear the surname of Baldra in bending, work his flesh to prove that the judgment of his fathers was right. And if you do something again that's not worthy of your name-- "

Shaw said, returning his heel.

"At that time, I will rip off the remaining limbs as the responsibility of the person responsible for Windsor's surname."

……

Zaimud, who was nagging, no longer seemed to have the energy to stand.

With that Zymood in his back, Shaw walks to Alicia and Caesar.

"-Slow"

“That was very rude of me. However, the protagonists often come to the stage late?”

"Do you think that excuse will work?"

Caesar was the first to point his lips at Shaw.

"If you had noticed so many things earlier, it wouldn't have been so important."

"I don't know. Because you're not a perfect person compared to me”

Shaw parries Caesar's whisper.

"Well, let's not tell anyone that we've already come this far." In addition, I'll have to fill the hole eventually. "

"Please stop watching Spiano's entire tragedy in a row."

"Do you think tragedy alone is enough?"

"Is it even a comedy..."

Shaw holds down his forehead with a gruff look.

Well, after everything has settled down.

At last, Shaw turned his gaze to Alicia.

"--Allie"

"Ugh!"

It was the name Alicia used when Shaw was Evans.

"If you noticed, you've come a long way, too."

……

Alicia still couldn't see Shaw's eyes.

I kept my gaze down and kept silent for some reason.

“And it involved a lot of things.”

"... after all, you're going to make such a fool of me again."

Alicia bites her teeth and turns away from her face.

No.

Shaw said to Alicia like that.

"Honestly, I was impressed. I didn't expect you to make the Psythalis so big, and it is commendable that you didn't surrender your nation to that Zaimud until I came. Perhaps you've had more than one chance to take the Thesaurus from you.”

For Alicia, Zaimoud was also a support for her heart.

On the other hand, Zaimood was the only one who could not read.

Especially since the movement of the [White Legs] became active.

"Of course, you couldn't do it alone." It may have been thanks to the faces of the Papal Knights who admired you, the jesters there, and the [Demon King] who gave you your place. Do you understand that? ”

……

Alicia checks her position again.

Caesar was next door.

Oliga, the Shadow King who saved herself earlier.

And Macbeth, the Pope's Knight Commander, who always admired himself with all his heart.

"Don't be ridiculous."

So for the first time, Alicia saw Shaw.

I'm also a powerless [Demon King].

Alicia gently takes the hand of Caesar, who supported her, and stands up against Shaw.

"Do you feel sorry for that?"

“I wish I had the strength to fight.”

Weak limbs, a body that never grew bigger, other than the damn two eyes, this body that is no different from the girl walking around the city, rather, it is even sick and weak, don't say that there is no resentment.

"But I was made pope because of my father, Hermel, and because of the Thessalonians who admired me, and because of the people around me who didn't abandon me."

"I know that..."

"You! I'll try to fight alone..."

Alicia-Euzebert had feelings she could not help.

"You... pretend to have abandoned everything... always alone...!"

Alicia finally covered her face with her hands.

"I know it in my head." I've thought about doing something about it many times. But I still can't get rid of it.... I don't know what to do anymore. "

She is not fit for the 'king'.

It was because of her inescapable emotions, and because of her ruthless reason to cut them off, and because the man who was the cause of the emotion was not next to her.

"For me... from all those who admired me..."

That's the end of her path.

"You were... the best."

For a long time.

"... after all, you're not fit for a pope."

"Is that your answer?" If that's the end, I despise you. "

Caesar, who was supporting Alicia who was about to break down into tears, told Shaw.

The face had a different colour than usual, a straight accusation.

……

Shaw received Caesar's harsh expression and scratched his cheek with a bad look on his cheek.

Then he sighed tinyly and straightened his collar.

"... I see. It was a short answer to your question. Let's answer this clearly. I can't answer your question."

Alicia's body trembled, and Shaw noticed.

"There's still work to be done, so..."

But go on, En (...) van (...) n (...) su (...) said.

"When it's all over, let's go back to the play together, Ally."

When I was young, I still didn't care about my figure, and when I was talking innocently, I must have said this line to her.

"So don't cry."

I approach her and gently pat her on the head.

"... I won't forgive you if you're lying"

"If you think so, look me in the eye. If you think you're lying, you can see it with your own eyes."

Alicia looked up at Evans with tears in her eyes.

"What do you think, the eyes of a lying man?"

"... the eyes of the dead."

That's what Alicia said - she laughed.

"It's not enough to say that..."

Evans scratches his head.

Caesar was laughing at the sight of both of them.

And then Caesar realized that there was.

"Alicia, the magical pattern of the Demon Eye..."

When Alicia saw Evans' eyes, she didn't see the pattern of the technique in her eyes.

Ahhh...

Alicia notices after being told.

"I couldn't see..."

< Heart Emperor's Demon Eye >, which I could hardly control myself.

Normally, I would have seen the depths of the opponent's heart, but when I saw Evans's eyes, I didn't see it.

"Hmm? Didn't you see it? Then do it again--"

When Evans realizes that, he says again,

No, no, no, no.

Alicia shook her head.

I guess it's because I thought I didn't have to see it.

"I'm not a liar..."

"That's not what I meant. - That's not what I meant, Evans."

Alicia smiles happily and tells Evans.

"Somehow, you're dull about yourself." It's a good match against Merea. "

Caesar said with a deliberately cynical smile.

"It's somehow sloppy..."

So finally, Shi (...) ya (...) u (...) shrugged his shoulders back to his tone.

Well, anyway.

Soon he coughed, and Shaw straightened his collar.

First of all, I have to go to the rescue of the [Shadow King] who has bought time for you on the top--

"There's no need for that."

And that's when it happened.

An unknown voice echoed in the chapel, and Shaw and the others turned their gaze.

There's a...

"Nice to meet you, Merea's friend. My name is Flanders Crowe."

Somehow, a gray-haired man with an atmosphere similar to that of Merea was standing.

"For now, the [Demon King] who was fighting above had me fall asleep." I don't really want to take my own life. "

There was an invincible smile on his face.
