Hyaku Ma No Aruji

I don't know what a soul is.

I've never actually seen it or touched it.

However, I also wondered if there was any way to tell the story of Merea's birth, or the current situation where many of the dead are now standing on this earth.

And then--

Ahhh...

Today, when I saw a man with the same silver eyes as myself, I felt that Eyes was the first to realize its existence.

"Who are you?"

Elma stepped forward to protect herself.

Elma's face had a tense color when she put her hand on the Devil Sword Crissula's handle.

"--My name is Raise. It's the people of Lacca."

The man replied.

"Rakka..."

Eyes remembers the name.

No, it's not something I remember.

"-Eyes, the last child I saw. I need to know your name."

The man stepped forward as if he were willing to take a step forward from Elma, who was in a state of confrontation.

Eyes saw Elma gain strength.

"Wait, wait...!"

Eyes stops such Elma.

Elma showed a slightly troubled expression, but she probably took her hand off the handle of the demon sword.

"-Eyes, my name is Eyes Lillyfen......"

Eyes puts her name on her mouth as she exposed herself from behind Elma.

Why do you know your first name? What does "the last child" mean?

A few question marks come to mind when I calm down.

However, I knew that even if I asked that point all the time, it was unlikely that the "natural answer" that everyone could be convinced would return.

"Lillyfen... that's all."

No, it's not.

Lillyfen is a name taken from her parents.

I have two more names for myself.

"--- Reyes Lacca"

Eyes hesitated a little to put the name on his mouth.

Because that name was the name of a family that had been passed down from ancient times to a long time, symbolizing its power as a [demon king].

◆◆◆

Sainte Harris region.

It's a plateau about three days north of Mount Lindholm.

There lived a clan called the 'people of Lacca' from ancient times.

They had a special eye that saw everything from the sky, and as if the power of that eye were equivalent, it was said that the heavens would deal with powerful magic by giving them peculiar magic fuel.

"... I see, it's still my descendants"

"You are...."

The people of Lakkah had some customs concerning their names.

They were few in number, but kinship was strong, and it appeared in the part of their name.

"My name is Raise. [Raise Flow Lakka]. When the first people of Lakka were divided into nine tribes, they were the lords of the Flowers, who were granted the status of the Third Royal Family."

The people of Lacca were not distinguished by surname at first.

All the clans likewise chose the Rakka surname, and the identification of individuals was done only by first name.

However, as their strength increased and their number increased, it became difficult to identify individuals by the surname of Lacca alone, and nine tribes, which were particularly powerful as the people of Lacca, were given a new surname, and divided their house.

And they built nine small cities in the region of Sainte Harris, each of which reigned as king of its own city.

"Flo..."

Eyes also remembers the name.

In the ancient tale of his father and mother was the name of his royal family.

"But the Flowers died in the battle a long time ago..."

"The demon king's name is covered by someone with particularly strong power." Your father and mother would have liked to hide their names. So instead, (...) my (...) name (...) was (...). "

Originally, the people of Lacca had the custom of keeping the names of their noble ancestors between their names.

That's how they keep blessing from heaven, or whenever they say they don't want to weather their feelings for their clan, and to thank them for being here with them.

"In your name is my name."

His expression was a little darker, and he looked a little - happy - at the same time.

"I'm sure it was the good and the bad of our people."

Eyes understood a little of what he had to say.

I'm sure my father and mother gave up the name "Flow" to protect themselves.

The name of the royal family of Lacca was too prominent.

That choice would have been a hard decision for the descendants of the people of Lacca.

Instead, they took the name of a great man who had a particularly strong power a long time ago.

--- [Raise].

Once upon a time, when the evil demon king known as the [Demon of the Heart] swept through the Sante Harris region, the name of the hero of the House of Flo who stood at the forefront of the oppressed people of Lacca and protected the family.

"Indeed, many of our names end with 'Z'." If it weren't for that, I wouldn't stand out badly, but I still can't call it a good idea to choose my name. "

I'm sure it was the will or wish of my father and mother, the people of Lacca.

May the blessings of my ancestors protect my child.

"Eyes. Eyes Lilyphen Reyes Lakka. - In your name, the royal family (Flow) is missing."

That day, Eyes learned the lie that her father and mother had told to protect themselves.
