Hyaku Ma No Aruji

"... Very well, if that's what you're going to say."

Hershey still couldn't gauge Leylas' sincerity.

Of course, it was because there were people in front of me who weren't supposed to be in the world, and it was also because I was concerned about the thoughts of [Reaper] Necroa-Belzerut who created this situation.

……

Hershey sits across the desk in a chair and looks directly at Leylas with his arms crossed.

By contrast, Leylas was still speechless.

"...... mu"

Huh?

Leylas' mouth waves slightly, but Hershey reacts instantly.

Finally, Leylas said this in a slightly troubled manner.

”... mmm, you're sharper than I thought... ah, the pressure is...”

It's like a town daughters everywhere.

……

I noticed that Aisha was unstrung behind me.

Maybe I noticed something about this Lairus hat before I did.

"Hmm... I knew it wouldn't work like any other hero!"

Peek-a-boo.

Exactly in this motion, Leylas's expression suddenly turned into an open smile.

The smile resembled the innocent look Merea had when she was inspired by her curiosity.

"... you were wearing a cat?"

"Don't be disrespectful with cats! Indeed, I was often told that I was" uncomfortable with my appearance ", but I was able to behave like that in public!"

Leylas patted the van and the desk and peeled.

--Oh, oh, oh, oh.

At first, I thought it was similar to Merea.

But maybe this woman...

"Leylas, the most famous servant in the history of Remuse. I see, over time, I'm sure of that now."

Straight ahead of Merea.

◆◆◆

"Damn... he's always got a spicy look on his face!" You too, Hershey! "

Leylas points to Bishi and Hershey.

The figure is so vivid and powerful that it takes away all the supernatural beauty.

"You'll have a stingy face. According to the inscription you left, I will soon be [Mad King] and die."

"Indeed, that is the future I saw." However, it was not always decided that that would be the case. I bequeathed it to me in the sense that I would do my best not to! ”

Leylas told Hershey with straight eyes.

His appearance and words were so foolish as to make it ridiculous to look for the back cover.

"...... It's not for the king."

Hershey suddenly spilled a bitter smile.

But that's why the voice that was uttered to save the [Demon King] in those days reached everyone correctly.

"Now it only sounds ironic." In fact, as history has shown, I failed. "

Leylas told him to mock himself.

I used Otherworldly Grass to distort the world, and above all, I placed a burden on Merea.

The expression on Leylas's face was extremely sad, and it burned strangely into Hershey's eyes.

"Do you regret it?"

Hershey had been asking Leylas that for a while.

"I don't know. To be honest, I don't know."

“But it's true that you saved Merea's life.”

"You're the kind of person who talks naturally." I want to talk to Flanders. "

Leylas laughed, but her expression was still not clear.

"What we gave Merea was the [Curse]." Merea might think it was a blessing, but it was still a curse. We reincarnated Merea in this world by our ego. The paranoia that has led to it is precisely because it is a necrotic spirit that is missing something, it may be said that it is madness. "

Unrefined spirits drifting on the Lindholm Spiritual Mountain.

They first created a presence called Merea to defuse their mismanagement.

But as a result, their first prospectus was dissolved in a different way by their life with Merea, and they ascended to heaven without reaching their original purpose.

"I shouldn't have spoken from the outside." If that's what you say, that's how you see it. However, it's up to you whether you accept it as a "curse" or a "blessing", no matter how much your surroundings rant about it. "

Hashem said so without any difficulty.

"Ask Merea, it's the best way to get rid of your weakness right now."

"Haha, that's right. My distant nephew touched me, and I was a drug addict."

Or maybe it's hard work, Hershey thought, looking at Leylas now.

The first figure with elegance that is difficult to touch anywhere.

After that, she looked like an innocent and cheerful girl.

Both are correct in their appearance and are weapons to protect her soft and pure inner appearance.

--No one has ever crossed the line.

There is no such thing as a perfectly indefinite hero as is spoken of in a book.

Hashem thought that the hero was also a human being everywhere.

"Well, my story is fine." ".... Hershey, you're headed for Thessaloniki."

Yeah.

Hershey returns a nod as Leylas returns.

Do you have any predictions as to why you will be called [Mad King]?

Of course.

Hashem knows the madness that lies within him.

I don't think that it is as radical as it is madness from my own point of view, but it is an objective perception that the public will probably deserve such a thing in general.

"Leilas-Riff-Remuse, will you call my deeds a product of madness?"

This time, Hershey asked Leylas in a straight line of sight.

"... if you call it madness, you should call it madness first because the minds of those who created the [Demon King] first."

Well, I guess this method of mine is also unusual after all.

……

Leylas did not deny Hershey's words.

And Hershey laughed at it.

"It might be a bit like washing blood with blood." That's why the amount of blood you shed is so much. ”

"Thinking about it does not in itself deny it. You took all your common sense to change the meaning of the word" Demon King ". But we need Merea now to make sure we don't have to do anything about it.... haha, this is a contradiction. While I tell Merea the curse, I assume Merea's presence is there to put you down."

"There are no human beings who can perfect life without contradiction." If everything could be decided correctly in white or black, there wouldn't be an easier world. ”

Having said that, Hershey naturally rose from his chair.

"Just let me ask you one question. ― ― Will Merea be able to make it in time? Do your eyes see this sight in the ceremony of the world in this day and age?"

When asked by Hershey, Leylas looked straight into his eyes for a short time and nodded.

"In time, Merea will surely return to the center of everything." So don't give up hope of clearing a different path. "

"--Okay."

Hershey did not see the truth in Leylas' answer.

And Merea stopped asking what would happen in time.

Either way, we'll find out.

And even if you knew, the purpose of orientation remains the same.

If nothing happens, I'll become the [Mad King] and change the meaning of [Demon King].

Hershey looked out the window and said:

However, if Merea and the other demon kings showed me another way, I will also walk towards it.

"..... ahh"

Hershey looked back at Leylas.

”... you're a restless ancestor”

But there was no Leylas there already.

Instead, there was a pendant on the desk with Remuse's crest engraved on it, and Hershey picked it up with a smile.

"... let's go, Aisha"

Yes.

Hershey-Coud-Lemuse finally made his way to the land of destiny, fastening his cloak with the pendant.
