Earlier that night, after a delicious breakfast Alice had made for me, me and Alice were playing lightly.

"... whoa"

"Whoa, that's a level up. Hehe, I'll chase you up ~"

Alice smiles brightly as the eye of the roulette that Alice turns shows 4 and moves four pawns seemed to be a level-up mass.

What Alice and I are currently playing is familiar in my world... so to speak, it was about.

"But you're doing well. This..." Brave Sukuroku "?

"Yeah, the sukoku itself came from Mr. Kite's world, but you penetrated this brave sukoku widely. Now it's a staple for most kids to play with once."

This brave man seems to be a recreation of the journey of the first brave man, that if he advances the pawn and defeats the demon king, he will rise... Mr. Noyne is about to be annihilated.

The pawn has a level and rises by stopping at a level-up mass. There is a level determination in the demonic mass on the road, etc., and it feels like if the level is low, it will be put back, which is fun inside.

Besides, although it is a small one, it seems to be equipped with demonic crystals for performances, and I hear demonic sounds and performances by light everywhere, and I'm working on it quite a bit.

Looks like you can enjoy it from adults to kids.

"But when I see it as a toy, I realize that Mr. Noyne is respected again."

"Well, she's a hero of this world. He defeated the Demon King in a few places and made the world peaceful… he's an easy hero to understand."

"... so I remembered that Mr. Noyne's party was definitely about wizards, spears and... omnipotent bandits... but there wasn't much detail in it."

The book, previously recommended and bought by Cro, contained the names of Mr. Noyne...... Hikari the Brave, but the other party members were written in wizards, spears, bandits and professions and had no names on it.

It was a deliberate way of writing, so I'm guessing there's a reason... there's an Alice around the corner who knew about it, and I decided to ask her about it.

"... oh, that's a political procedure. It's widely known that... one of the first brave party members is now King Hydra... and it seems like an implicit understanding not to mention it, considering the power relations between nations."

"Heh... sure, were you a mermaid?

"Yeah, Ragna Dia Hydra... you're a spear man"

"... Something in the book said, 'I broke the wild great river with a spear'..."

"It's a historical fact. That's how powerful it is."

Boulders, party members of the first brave men. He must be pretty awesome.

"... and the other members?

"Eh. An elf wizard called" The Miracle of the Forest, "Mr. Forth, now Elf Elder...... and you're Hapti from" Mysterious Genius Girl Bandit "who doesn't even know who you are!

"... Huh? Alice, were you accompanying the first brave man on his journey?

"Come on, what is it? I have nothing to do with the mysterious genius girl bandit Hapti ~"

No, it's definitely you...... I was probably changing myself and diving into the members. Sure, if you're Alice, it's no wonder you've done about that.

"... Hey, Alice"

"Yes?"

"Me, I've always wondered... how much the Six Kings were in a difficult situation to move at the time, but if you... after we ended the Demon King, wasn't it also possible to root for the world?

"... well, I won't deny it. It would have been difficult to conclude a pact of friendship with the Three Kingdoms, like Mr. Hikari... but if we were just to end the Demon King's Army, there were as many ways as possible. It would have been possible, well, to disguise people as if they had won."

……

"So why didn't you do it... please don't tell anyone else the story from here on out"

"Okay."

From now on, I... No, I'll tell you the truth that most people in the world don't know. And then Alice tells me to keep it a secret.

"... At the time, we the Six Kings couldn't get our hands on the Demon King... no, there were two reasons why we didn't. One, as Kate knows, is a lack of pipes to the world."

……

"And the other one is... because our head, Mr. Crowe, was hesitant about the sole."

"... Clo?

"... the Demon King... is Mr. Crowe's 'family'."

"Become!?

Alice's words were truly shocking. The Demon King is Crowe's family? So you're saying the Demon King defied Cro and challenged him to battle?

No, I don't know, looking at Alice's expression... I don't think so.

"... To be honest, it was totally unexpected to us that the Demon King invaded the world. I wasn't the kind of kid who would do that. We... For the Six Kings other than Mr. Kro, the Demon King was like a sister. He was a kind, caring child who admired Mr. Crowe like a true mother."

"... yes... what"

"That's why I thought there might be some very significant circumstances... even the discussion between the Six Kings broke my opinion about the response"

……

"I'll lay down my name, but 'I wish I could punch you back', '... no... I'm sure there's a reason...', 'But why don't you just keep doing what you've done so far and don't hit anything with your hands?', 'Then first, shouldn't we explore the causes?' That felt like it."

"Somehow I feel like I know who said what"

"Well, 'no, if you're gonna mess with the world already, why don't you just kill me?'... or something like that, they also had phantom kings who didn't read the air. Fantasy King, you suck!

"It's you, you!!

I thought it was a very serious story, and I wait for Alice, who jokes along the way and puts in a masochistic story, to say something that goes on somewhat frighteningly.

"... well, eventually, the brave man... Hikari showed up and I calmed him down by saying how things were going."

"... wanting to be 'other than Alice', you mean?

"Yeah, you're right...... I snuck my split up to accompany Mr. Hikari on his journey. If Hikari decides that he can't handle the Demon King properly, to get his hands on him immediately... well, Hikari knocked him out after all."

"... So, the Demon King..."

"... he's alive. I hope you don't ask me the details if I can… I still continue to redeem myself, regretting my sins"

"... right"

No more words came out.

When I heard from Lilia, I thought the Demon King was some pitiful guy and congratulated him for being defeated by the brave... Hi, it doesn't seem that easy.

Especially Cro, who is also a party... how did it feel? I don't know, but I can understand that it's not a good topic for me to step in at ease.

Alice smiles with a tender look at me thinking about it.

"Well, there's nothing Mr. Kite cares about. This was 1000 years ago, and it's over now... Oops, you're out of tea. I'll brew it."

"Thanks"

Sure, Alice is right...... this was 1000 years ago and if it's resolved among the parties, it's not something I should be involved in.

Dear Mother, Father - I could hear a little more from Alice about the brave and the demonic king. Alice told me it was already over, but... why not? Something a little - I feel caught in my heart.

Staring at the pot of tea, Alice remembered a little back in the day.

'Come on, Mr. Crowe! Sure, that kid may not have killed anyone. Still not all the idiots who hitchhiked and attacked! If you haven't done it, it must be her fault!

'Maybe, maybe... but...'

"I don't even know what the circumstances are... but if you've gone mad, it's mercy to end it."

"... Chartier"

'... I get it. In the meantime, I'll see how it goes until that brave guy confronts that kid. Still, if you decide there's nothing you can do... I'll kill them all. So, okay?

'... yeah. Sorry.'

'... just one word, I'll tell you. Even if I survive... if I go back to sanity, the fire of regret will continue to burn my heart... and I will not visit that child with the future of salvation'

……

Remembering the conversations of the past, Alice pours tea into the cup she has prepared… not directed at anyone, but one quietly whines.

"... that child will continue to suffer forever. Then I should leave you alone... Yes, I thought so."

Alice smiles slightly as she reflects her face on the liquid poured into the cup.

"... Mr. Kite. Maybe. You think. It should also be noted that he continues to be burned by his sins... will you reach out to him... what, a little too convenient an expectation?

Thinking of the gentle face of her lover, Alice looks out at the window for a distant view.

"... I just turned the wheel. I'm sure Mr. Kate moves... because I'm talking about Mr. Crowe like nothing else... Well, Mr. Feer? Do you have the courage to take Mr. Kite's hand…?
