I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist

Let's sort it out.

First, Mr. Leanhardt and his people have been fighting the Demon King since ancient times: the people of Lustu - perhaps the ancient species known as "Last Brave".

They know that my childhood tame, Lukersh Kamil, is the brave man of the future.

And this time they've come into contact with me because I'm a childhood tame to the brave of the future.

All sorts of questions come up, but leave that aside. Anyway, that's about all the “facts” I know now.

"Let's explain it in order"

Mr. Sieg continues his words pale.

"The Demon King has been sealed many times before by the hands of the brave men of history. But no brave man has stood idly by, and he has been resurrected many times."

That's a story that was also told in "Last Brave".

A demon king who repeatedly seals and resurrects, a brave man who has appeared every time he shows signs of resurrection. The Demon King is the same - the same person called a human being - but the young man chosen as a brave man should not have had such a setting as the rebirth of the brave men of the past.

"Now, the Demon King can be called the Resurrection Present."

Mr. Sieg stares at me like he's staring at my complexion. I wasn't particularly surprised because it was something I had already known for years, but I let my gaze swim like I was upset that it would be slightly strange as just a brave childhood tame not to react to anything here.

My reaction, which was slightly playful, was not uncomfortable from Mr. Sieg's point of view though, he continued without changing his expression in particular.

"This time, the brave man who seals the Demon King is your childhood tame - Mr. Lukersh Kamil. The crest that floated in his eyes one day is a testament to that."

The day the gold crest appeared on the left eye of childhood taming.

I remember the day when it all began, having regained the memory of my previous life.

"We, the people of Lustu, have a special power against the Demon King. I have always helped the brave with that power. And this time, of course, we will spare no help to the brave."

After all, the people of Lustu seem to be sure with ancient species and equals. The "Last Brave" heroine also had a special power very similar to the power of the brave, something and the protagonists were of service to the party members.

Silence falls there once. You felt awkward about that silence, and Mr. Leon sounded worried.

"Suddenly, you don't know why I'm talking like this, Dr. Laura."

"No, I was rather convinced because the demon suddenly got stronger or had a somewhat unpleasant feeling"

I laugh out loud, purposefully trying to get rid of the painful air. Then Mr. Leenhardt, who had been silent until now, laughed with his throat, "My liver is resting on me, Sense," he said.

- But here's one thing that really bothers me. All that Iris came to the Royal Castle as a king's conjugator apprentice, or about the people of Lustu, there are many things I'd like to ask, but above all, first.

"But why are you telling me this story?

"... the brave man has no skill against the demon king before he is resurrected, although he can fight against the resurrected demon king. The resurrection of the Demon King is not due to the weakening of the seal, but because over time the Demon King regained his power. To seal it again, you must physically leave the demon king and take away his power."

I nod small, wondering if that is the case with Mr. Sieg's words.

In "Last Brave" the presence of the Demon King is revealed from the mouth of the heroine, and then he runs to do something about the Demon King's seal that he is weakened for a while. In other words, we run to try to do something about the Demon King before his resurrection, but in this world, are the settings slightly different around the Demon King, and around the brave?

But as it turns out, it is true that the brave men can do nothing to the demon king before his resurrection, and that he will defeat the resurrected demon king, so perhaps the ancient species of this world - the people of Lustu - have more information against the demon king than differences in setting.

"We've been investigating whether we can't weaken the sealed man again before the demon king is completely resurrected. And as I watched Lukersh Kamil, who woke up as a brave man, to the presence of you... bad words, but I looked."

From Mr. Sieg's mouth, apparently Lukersch was under constant surveillance by the people of Lustu. And me, too.

While I'm surprised by the fact that I didn't notice at all, I lean my neck toward the word "eyed". It's like finding another value for use in Laura Ampere, who was just next to the brave man.

Faster than I ask, Mr. Sieg has asked again.

"Dr. Laura, do you know where the Demon King is lurking right now?

Tilt your neck even further to Mr. Sieg's words. Wherever you're lurking, it will be decided where the Demon King was sealed last time.

The Demon King of "Last Brave" was sealed in a place called the "Demon King's Throne," so if asked where the Demon King was lurking, "I” would say "Demon King's Throne". But the conditioner couldn't have known that either, so I shook my head and looked up at Mr. Sieg like, "I don't know what you're talking about.

"Aren't you in a sealed place?

"No. Actually, the Demon King is already running away from the place of sealing. And gradually building strength for resurrection."

- It was an answer I didn't imagine. Completely different from "Last Brave".

The demon king of this world is no longer in the "seat of the demon king", in a place of seal. If so, where the hell are you lurking?

Mr. Sieg continued with a glance at me circling in surprise, clearer than earlier, as if to make the story read and heard.

"Demon kings can parasitize people. Parasite, take away the magic that man possesses and amplify it within himself. As a result, the human body parasitized by the magic amplified by the Demon King is destroyed from the inside. Then the Demon King will look for the next parasite."

- It's like I heard somewhere, I thought intuitively.

By the magic amplified by the Demon King, the parasitized human body is destroyed from the inside and gone.

Magic destroys people. The symptoms are exactly.

"... autologous disease..."

- Yes, it looks just like the symptoms of autopsy.

The bulk makes the heart make a loud noise. Blood spills down to your fingertips. Cold sweat tracked my back to a cause I never thought I would.

(The cause of autopsy is the Demon King...?

There are only two things in common among patients with autologous disease. in that it has a relatively strong magic power and the time of onset.

Nothing else. The environment, gender, and the patient's own health. So I couldn't find a direct cause until now. It was called a conundrum, and it was feared.

But in the unlikely event that the autochthonous disease was caused by the hands of the Demon King, one might rather take for granted that little in common. There are only two things that are important to the Demon King that have not yet been fully revived. Ease of parasitism and strength of magic to take away. You just have to have all that.

(Are you targeting children who have less power to resist than adults? If the demon king is deciding on his own accord, isn't it possible that the time period between the death of the patient is wide? And in fact, even "Last Brave" the Demon King was taking over people's bodies...)

Honestly, right now, thinking is confusing. If you think calmly, the “hypothesis” that autopsy is caused by the Demon King may be overshadowed. However, based on that “hypothesis”, there are many things that are satisfactory.

Arnold, with a stronger magic than Elvira, did not suffer from autopsy, possibly because that stronger magic became a force against the Demon King. Whether we looked at the data of patients with autologous disease in the past or excellence, we saw many patients with a higher degree of magic inside at best.

- Or maybe it's just simply that Arnold was “not found” by the Demon King.

I grabbed my trembling fingertips and asked.

"Maybe the Demon King is now - in Elvira?

Mr. Sieg, who has been explaining to me so far, looks back at Mr. Leanhardt. Nature and my gaze also turned to him.

Amber eyes stare at this one. I swallowed the sawdust and saliva, but I didn't distract myself from Mr. Leanhardt's eyes.

After a long and long silence, Mr. Leanhardt exhaled slowly, and

"Thanks to the“ Spirit's Drinking Water ”prescribed to Elvira Rocco by Lauracense, the Demon King is now losing a lot of power, and perhaps she - is resting her body in Elvira Rocco's body."

- In Elvira, the Demon King is nestled.

I exhaled heavily into the fact that Mr. Leanhardt told me, oh.

It wasn't over. Rather, now that we know who the autologous disease is, it's like we're finally at a true starting point.

- What floated behind my brain was the appearance of Arnold and Elvira, who would now probably have a peaceful time without water for their brothers and sisters. My chest tightened to the sight I had in mind.
