The night I deposited the antidote, Lukash and the others contacted me.

The smiles of Lukash on the surface of the water greeted me as I ran up to the vessel.Even without receiving a report, I breathed a sigh of relief at the look on my face.

After seeing me sitting on the chair in front of the vessel, Lukash reported back to me.

I was able to get out of the forest safely. Thank you.

It was a word I had anticipated since I saw the gentle smile of childhood, but my strength relaxed from my tense and strenuous body.

Not only Lukash, but also the faces of the people behind him.Although the color of fatigue was floating because I had just confronted a monster, I didn't have any companions who seemed to be feeling sick because of the poison.

"Great! Isn't anyone seriously injured?"

It's all right thanks to the healing pills.

Lukash laughs loudly. Behind that diagonal, Marta said, "It was hard!'I shouted out loud.

The smell of Naraka's fruit safely lured the monster near the entrance.Perhaps it was a highly intelligent monster, or it was persistently targeted by a gas mask.The fact that the monster retreated to the depths of the forest to escape was that I was able to stab the end in just a few moments.Among their hesitant companions, Lukash and Vake were able to pursue the monster and subdue it.And the poisonous mist in the forest is clear.

The others laughed bitterly at Malta's eloquent words, but I listened.She may be able to do well as a bard, I can't even think about it.

― ― When Malta's story comes to a close, I ask what I have been curious about for a while.

It's getting pretty close, isn't it?

It was a rather vague question, but Diona seemed to read exactly what I wanted to hear.

'Yes, there's a big city a little further up.I think I'll make the final preparations and go to the Demon King. "

The journey of the brave seemed to be a big one.

This is the last city Lukash and the others are headed for.When you leave the city, the game will show you that you can't go back.Looking at the text, some players will continue as is, while others will turn back to retrieve sub-event etc.

Almost there.

Yeah, I'll just bump into you when I get here.

Lukash nodded with a smile that he was completely prepared for.Malta agreed to say 'yes' just now.

"Bump into Dawn and crush Dawn."

You can't break it.

Mmm! Julius always takes his fried foot!

Marta swells her cheeks to Julius, who freaks out.Julius was the only one who sighed, “You are too good for me,” and the other two laughed at the light interaction between them.

― ― Some of you might be trying to do that, but it's a calm, nice atmosphere.

When the laughter subsided, Vake looked at me with a serious face.

Lady, I'm sure the Demon King's side is close to the final showdown.It may be noisy around the lasses.Be careful. "

Yes, I'll let you know.

The Demon King seemed to be gathering all his forces to prepare for the final showdown, but it was still forbidden to be alarmed.I nodded as I squeezed my loose cheek.

The air was stretched all at once. Elvira shouted to break it.

I will definitely defeat the Demon King!

"Elvira"

Laura can wait with peace of mind.

Yes, she is a kind child who smiles to reassure me.In the blink of an eye, your fist was clenching on your lap.

"Yeah, from afar, but I'm always praying for everyone's safety."

Elvira nodded happily.

Vake placed his hand on her head.And she laughed, showing her teeth as if she were a little bit stubborn.

There's still a city, and there's plenty from the city to the Demon King.Don't take your time thinking it's the last time. "

I know!

Elvira bites Vake like a rebel daughter.It's kind of a nostalgic sight. Even in Last Brave, these two people sometimes looked like father and daughter.

Marta opens her mouth to the loose air again.

Is there a maze around the Demon King?

I followed the memory of Marta's murmuring.The last dungeon is usually quite elaborate, although it was not unique to “Last Brave”, but to the RPG as a whole.

"... looks like it."

I knew it? I hate it. As soon as you enter, could you make a room for the Demon King? "

Haha, I smiled bitterly at Malta, who dropped her shoulders wide.

It seems that everyone is thinking the same thing without saying anything to their mouths, so the air in the field became more and more dense.In the meantime, it's Vake who starts the analysis calmly.

"Based on what you've done so far, I think the Demon King is quite a brainiac."You'll make anything in the maze and cut our health. "

I nod in agreement with his words.

The demon king of this world used his clever maneuver a lot.Rather, it would be better to finish in a simple maze.

"You're aiming ahead for the residence of the spirits, and you're clinging to Arnold's body..."

Until now, the Demon King has fought the brave many times.In the meantime, based on past experience, you must have predicted how we would get out. "

Diona guessed from Rustu's point of view as a people.In fact, I think what she is saying is correct.

Heroes were inherited.All the battle-scarred brave men were different.But the Demon King was all the same.Thinking of it that way, the Demon King might have more "know-how" against the brave.Of course, the brave side, mainly the people of Rustu, are accumulating knowledge based on the records of the battle.

However, why did the demon king come back to life again and again?Can't it be extinguished rather than sealed?

Is it difficult to completely seal the Demon King this time?

The Demon King is no longer like a chunk of resentment.As long as people live, they will not perish. "

Diona says that the thing that became the king of demons has long since perished, and that resentment is making itself up.If so, as long as the people with the emotions based on resentment are alive, they will not perish.

”I don't think I'll ever have to hang out with you again...”

Elvira uttered a childish and honest word.Everyone nodded uniformly to her words, which could be said to be the direct victim of the Demon King.

I'm sure Elvira cares about self-destructive disease.In fact, although the treatment was successful this time, it is not necessarily the same next time.This time, the various timings just meshed luckily, and if a patient with autoimmune disease emerges in the unborn era, there is a good chance that the tragedy of the past will be repeated.

--But maybe the descendants of the distant future in the future.The time may come when the belief inherited from parents to children and the technology inherited from teachers to disciples will solve everything.

It is more optimistic than ever.But now I had hope for the future.

Even if the Demon King were to disappear completely, something would appear again.

Julius muttered to himself. What he was trying to say was something called, "Even if you defeat me, the second and third demon kings..."

At any given time, there are evil things in his chest.Even if the Demon King disappeared, it would be only a matter of time before an alternative force emerged.Sadly, that's the reality.

Lukash, who had been silent until now, shook his head.Then, with clear eyes, he vigorously affirmed.

I don't know what the future is hundreds of years from now.We're here to protect you now. "

In the end, we may just be repeating the same thing for millennia, tens of thousands of years.From God's point of view, that would be a terribly foolish thing to do.But no matter how foolish we may be, we must live the “present” and protect the “present” and the “future” of the continent.

The light pointed to the eyes of the companions who heard Lukash's powerful words.Apparently, their anxiety and dissatisfaction with the future have been overcome, and their hearts have become one.

The figure that guided his companions with one word was undoubtedly a brave one.

Arnold is shredding my strength.I'm sure the Demon King won't be able to afford it anymore. ”

― ― The final showdown is near.

The heroes made their way to the last city to defend the "now".
