Is something wrong with your mother?

I have your father, you're gonna be okay, right?

Elena's waiting for you at her aunt's, isn't she?

With that in mind, I'll go back the way I came.

If you look in front of you as you run desperately, that's the orange light there. But the sunlight, it's shooting from behind me.

It took me hours to walk down the road, hours to run back.

It will be totally night and the lights will only be burning flames.

"............... what, this?

The lights will only be the flames on most houses in the village.

My house is burning.

Aunt Kania's house is naturally on fire, too.

The village chief's house is already dark with the fire out.

What I saw in my eyes was black, red,

"Yes... no... ahhh..."

Lots, corpses.

Corpse.

Corpse.

Near my house, my mother and father rolled over to fold.

Near Aunt Kania's house, Aunt Kania was engulfed in fire.

And Elena...

'Hey, look at this. He's just a kid!

'You didn't get it. I would have sold it at a high price as a pet.'

'You wanted it to be my son's birthday present rather than selling it. But a corpse alone is worth it, isn't it? There are weird stuff lovers like that, and I've seen this, like, five years old, right?

"Do you know how old a dog is? Even so, you really have ears growing out of your head. Feelings No. '

At the time I didn't know what I was talking about - but now I know what I was talking about, but I don't understand - there was a "human" talking about it.

Humans were lifting bodies that were bleeding from all over their bodies, stripping their white eyes and weakening.

With the same hair color as my mother, I fastened the hair my father gave me, and a body that looked just like me.

That was my sister Elena.

"Ele-"

I tried to scream my sister's name, but I couldn't.

Suddenly he kicked me from behind, and he knocked me down. I tried to get up, but I couldn't do anything when they stepped on my back.

"Damn. Oh."

"Survival Happens"

The voice of a man whose breath leaks out of his lungs and who ignores me for not being able to breathe properly and talks about something.

What makes you laugh like that in front of a sight like this?

Captain, what's going on?

"I'm with you today. There's a village in such a despicable place, and there's food! Look at that. This is a scalpel!

"Does a captain even crave dogs?

'I don't exactly crave animals, though. If you cut off these creepy ears and tails. Well, you'll look human. I can't resist witchcraft because I'm a child. "

'I see! You're smart!

'Wouldn't you? So, how long have you guys had that dirty thing?

'Oh, excuse me. I'll get rid of it right away. "

Moments, Elena's body falls to the ground. And Elena didn't even move with Pickle.

"... Elena"

The voice that finally came out didn't reach the ear of the man who stomps on me, or he didn't understand even if he could hear me, he did nothing.

The men who threw Elena away will colour the village and the man who steps on me will smoke as it is. Ashes fall on my face and back, but I didn't feel any pain or anything.

"Mother... Father... Elena..."

There is, it was despair.

I was thinking as a child that from now on I would have a more terrible experience than death.

"Captain, there seems to be no other survivor."

'Okay. Then it's off.'

After that conversation I was freed from the weight of my back as well as being grabbed and lifted by my hair.

I didn't even feel the pain anymore.

Captain, are you sure you want to take that home?

"I'm poor. Hey, anybody got a restraint rope?

There's a military dog collar, isn't there?

'Hahaha, okay. Perfect for a dog!

What's fun and what's so funny?

What the hell are you looking for in this village that smells like burnt corpse meat?

I wanted it to be such a crazy world, a dream. But the flaming heat I feel on my skin has let me know for sure that's a reality.

If it's not a dream, someone help me.

"Somebody... Somebody, help me...!

Even though I knew it wouldn't reach anyone, I could only say so.

the hands of men rested on my neck, when the

"Gah......"

The man who was stomping on me until just now fell. There's a big hole in my back.

"What...?

I'm confused. What the hell?

but the degree of confusion is that humans are much bigger than me,

"Hey, what!?"

'No way, this kid...!

Humans wolfed, and they laid up cane-like weapons.

But that action ends in vain.

At the next moment, they will be shot to the ground with massive bleeding. Because they didn't have time to scream, and they ran out of breath with a big hole in their chest.

Thanks, I didn't think so.

I didn't think I was next.

I was just shuddering without doing anything.

I couldn't do anything, I was shuddering.

A few minutes later, I heard a woman speaking to me.

"- Are you all right, young lady? Sorry I'm late, I'm here to help."

The woman was taller than her father and was a beautiful woman with long, blood-colored hair that produced a disastrous horn from her head. She was able to follow several of them and immediately ordered them to explore the surroundings.

"... who?

"When you visit a name, you start by naming yourself."

It seemed strangely great, but I didn't feel strange or disgusted, to speak with Rin's voice.

"… I, Sophia, am"

"Sophia? That's a good name. My name is Hell Arche. Say hello."

Hell Arche.

Even I know the name of the child.

A being in which mankind fears and the devil tribe fears. Demon King, Hel Arche.

That's what's before me now.

"Demon King... Your Majesty...?

"Well, that's what they call it."

The presence of the Demon King is known even to me as a child.

The Demon King says he can use all the magic that is common in the world. So I screamed.

"Sire! Help Elena, help Elena!

I screamed desperately.

Desperately, I shouted out my sister's name. I shouted my sister's name first, not my mother, not my father.

Because it's your sister.

Because your sister has to help her sister.

I held my sister's body nearby and shouted her name. Elena, Elena, and.

"Elena, wake up! You want a souvenir, don't you? Then wake up! I have to wake you up, because if you don't wake up, I can't show you my souvenir...!

Elena's eyes, physically, were open.

But I can see Elena's eyes are not seeing me, the world, nothing. But I scream desperately.

"Sire, help Elena! Your Majesty would be able to use it! Your father said. His Majesty the Demon King said he could do anything. So, Your Majesty, take Elena..."

Help my sister.

I couldn't let the words go on like that.

After His Majesty placed his hand on my shoulder and forced my sister's lid to close, he said it gently to my mother.

"... Slowly, let him sleep"

Hearing that word, I couldn't stop it from overflowing out of my eyes.

I understand that Elena is dead.

---

Mother, father, Elena, Aunt Kania, and my friends, relatives, and everyone's tomb who lives in the village, I made.

Muddy all over my body, full of coal all over my body, grieving all over my body...... I even dug a hole.

All the houses that were in the village burned down, and all that was left was me and the tomb.

"Your Majesty. Nothing unusual in the surrounding area. It appears that the human army has retreated to Ash."

"Okay. Contact all units with a wave of thought. Withdrawal."

Copy that, sir.

I was sitting in front of my family's grave while His Majesty and His Majesty's men had some kind of exchange.

I lost everything. Even the energy to live, I lost it.

"Sophia kun. What are we gonna do now?

……

I didn't even get this.

I wanted to die. There is no hope, no energy, no place to live.

If you die, you may see your sister and family. So I wanted to die. But I couldn't say that.

"If you don't have Ate, come with me"

I didn't have the strength to reject that word.

His Majesty invited me to come to Growth Stadt, the Devil's Capital, for the first time in my life.

It takes my heart away from the first big city I see...... I can't even afford it and I will live under Your Majesty.

With His Majesty's policy of having to wait for time to resolve it, I worked at Demon King's Castle as a samurai apprentice.

Wearing unfamiliar maid clothes, doing unfamiliar work, remembering and crying about my family at night, living with His Majesty, learning magic to defend myself, to defend His Majesty's body, and repeating that, I gradually recovered.

To Your Majesty, words of gratitude are not enough.

Then one day many years later.

Your Majesty called me.

"Your Majesty, what have you done?

"Oh, Sophia. You know you did the summons ritual today, right?

Rituals for summoning Saviors from other worlds to save the Demon King's Army.

It was the ritual of using the sorcery formations that His Majesty had painted long before he met me that had taken place today.

And it was also predetermined what I would do to care for and assist the summoned.

I wanted to take care of His Majesty a little more, but there is no one more able to work as an aid to the Savior than I do, for that reason.

In His Majesty's words, I accepted that request.

"Yes. So, what's the result...?

"Half successful, I guess I just said. I succeeded in summoning, but I was not the Messiah"

"So who's here?

When I heard that, His Majesty hesitated a little and told me about it.

"I live in another world, I'm human."
