After all, there was nothing we could do. We were simply teased.

"Hmm? Oh, my senses are back to normal. For now, my son-in-law, you seem to have prevented the worst."

Eastham slowly moved his body out by returning to his original senses. But honestly, I didn't do anything. Because Lakshasa just normally unlocked the magic of sensory blockade.

On that evidence, we are all squatting with curses hanging, and some of them are stuffy and suffering.

"And, Lakshasa, did it make any sense to make this kind of time? Oh, my God! I think I'll take them all!

…………………………

"Have you exposed your demonic flesh? I miss it, because when I was younger, I was excited about the flesh, and I was cursed, and I found out where I was suffering, and I was infiltrated."

………………

"This is not what happens if you don't have the tough mental power to control your libido like I do now. He's so young all the time."

Ethan, I wasn't murky and cursed. Because I just can't get around with another curse altogether.

This is because mess is important. It's not a "murky curse," it's a "different curse," so don't tell your wife.

"Well, it seems like you'll be cursed whether you want it or just be on your side. I can't really talk to you like this..."

…………………

"Huh, still don't tell me anything to the eagle? Of the unmotivated demon king."

I'm bored...... Eastham sighs with that look. Even so, you don't tell me anything? Even telepathic? The story is that Lakshasa can no longer talk so much with the curse, but telepathy can be used. From what you just told me, it seemed like a pretty good guy to talk to. But is it also for some reason that we don't talk much?

Then Lakshasa, who was silently piercing Ethan's inquiry, was not telepathic...

"- - I want to be..."

Just one word. But that one word, which seemed everything, was whispered small from Lakshasa's mouth.

Of course, we're not so blunt as "I didn't hear you" either.

"- I don't want to be - I just want to be -"

"Ouch... what... ugh!

"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Me, too, and naturally it got to Ethan's ear.

"Oh my God... oh my God!

"... demon soldier outfit -"

"Wait, Lakshasa!

Wishes put into Lakshasa's words.

Etham accidentally stopped Lakshasa.

But Lakshasa immediately moved on to the next move.

He flew toward Ananta, who is now in a fierce battle with the Lowers, wrapped in the power of an overflowing and disastrous demon.

"Lakshasaaaaaaaa! That's your wish! You think I've done so much for that? How would you like it now that you have the business of blasphemy for all your lives!

Ethan screams out loud from the top of the ship toward Lakshasa, who flies out to Ananta. But Lakshasa doesn't even look back.

"So? Revive the Ancient Demon King for that... is that what you want!

If that's true, it's no longer closer to what you want than what you want it to be. Did you do something so big to make that wish come true?

Eastham then shouted with a look that seemed complicated out of his earlier intimidating temper with a slightly cut look on Lakshasa.

"The desire of those who have taken so many lives and carried so much hatred, but still a whisper of hope... I don't even know how that feels! I've had so much of my life that I couldn't help but be washed up and killed, but I still want to see my child happy and my grandson! But to make that wish come true, there are limits, like leading the Lily Dragons, capturing the daughters of Kabuki Town, holding a crazy feast and being your own soldiers? As an act just to fulfill your self desire, this is different. Ugh!

Lakshasa did not respond to Ethan's words in any way, just remained silent. I don't know if Ethan's story has reached my heart or not. But in the end, Lakshasa never turned around, stretching out the necks of countless dragons and on the back of Ananta's torso screaming like crazy, unleashed her magic.

"What... to? Who is it, that woman?... that magic... no way!

"You're a fucking demon king..."

"Haha, haha! You're finally out of your mind, Mr. Lakshasa! Then I'll kill you!

Lore and the others react to Lakshasa, who has suddenly entered.

And when I was in the lore, the moment I saw Lakshasa, I blued and freaked out.

"Hey, what is it... that's... stupid, and unbelievable... that's Lakshasa, the Demon King?

That didn't surprise me with anything super milk.

"Hey, what do you mean, Prince Lore? Are you surprised by that chunk of fat?

"The flesh of that demon king Lakshasa...... silly...... incredible...... with so many severe curses and physical pain...... how could it be possible to live...... with such a flat face...... no, no...... the muscles of the face can harden and not make a good expression......"

Anyone who sees Lakshasa will have their eyes on those breasts first. But Lore may have understood all of the curses and illnesses Lakshasa has by looking through his crest eyes, not Lakshasa's chest.

Still, Lakshasa's guy, what are you gonna do?

Riding on Ananta's back in demonic uniform, what more...

"Ah..."

At that time, I was unwittingly happy. But I immediately denied the idea.

No, I wanted to deny it. Not good if they do that. Because I thought so.

But the thought was also shattered by a word emanating from the faceless Lakshasa.

"Demon Soldier Costume/Riding Beast Integration"

"" "" "" - "-" - "" "

I honestly didn't even want to think about what would come out of that word.

"Hey... you know what?

Knock,... what the hell is a horseman?

That was the word that Lakshasa on Ananta's back left her demon soldier outfit open and out.

"Huh... first off! Hurry up and get out of here! The fishermen are in a hurry to evacuate the waters... no, we can't make it!

In the meantime, it was Lore who perceived more than anyone what was about to happen.

And we both know the curse was on us. Even Lakshasa alone is such an effective curse. Then what if I did a whole rider thing............?

That's incomparable with earlier, enough to envelop this entire sea area...

"Oh man... the faceless Onago hysterics are tough ~. But still, I can see how Onago feels, and I have fallen for him. Son-in-law, why don't you teach me a lesson when you have a hard time reading emotions?

In such an important matter, Ethan just stares at the combination of Lakshasa and Ananta with a lonely look on his face.

Perhaps, I just found out, there's something I think Lakshasa wants.

But I think I can do something about this situation... but I can't do anything about it.

"Even so, one horseman......... son-in-law, how's it going?

"The most... awkward..."

"I don't think so..."

No, I can't. I'm trying to talk, but I don't have a voice. Besides, I haven't been able to recover from the magic of the mess that Lakshasa put on me yet.

That's why if we were to do something about this situation...

"There's a way for me to get rid of him once more... but in the first place, it's time for me to wipe my ass. Bye..."

Yes, to change this situation...

"They seem tempted... to let those brave men take over the Demon King. Well, in the human world, it's up to the brave to take over the Demon King... except for Venbai."

I just have to leave it to those guys.

Regrettably, I'm not even likely to get a voice right now.

That's why...

"Either way, we can't run away... there's only one way to live... unless we take over Rakshasa, the Demon King"

I just have to ask those guys to do it without running away and taking care of their dangers.

Muramura is...... well, you wouldn't have to worry about that mentz.

Without touching Lakshasa...... well, those guys whose swords and magic are the main battles will be fine.

The problem is the curse that hangs by being on Lakshasa's side with the flesh exposed for more than a certain amount of time.

There may be other curses that we haven't grasped yet.

But still, we just have to get them to do it.

"Well, I'm convinced you won't get away with it, but what the hell is this fucking demon king and this fucking dragon rider? I guess those fucking eyes are for analysis at times like this."

"Of course, I'm analyzing it. First of all, it seems that the power of each of those dragons, such as braces, is bouncing in synergy with magic. And we're also about to expand the range of curse effects that involve others, emanating from the Demon King Lakshasa himself."

Lore will be questioned by Farga to explain the situation with that eye. Certainly not a convenient eye for the emergence of the unknown.

You mean you know what's going on at first sight, and then you know the side effects of the curse that's hanging on Lakshasa?

"And... you can naturally analyze the side effects associated with wrapping her whole body, spells, etc... it's terrible, right?

And because it's understandable, Lore understands more than anyone how unusual Lakshasa is.

"I can only speak my voice for a few seconds... my facial expressions muscles are solidified... I can barely see my eyesight either... in addition, I have problems with my general nervous system and mild paralysis and paralysis in my hands and feet... so high that if my body temperature is normal I fall asleep... I see chronic diseases of my brain... and abnormalities in my gut system..."

An anomaly so abnormal that there is no kiri when raised. Furthermore, even one side effect of the curse now cited by Lore is said to be quite a problem in everyday life, but that sums it up...

"Besides, it seems that some of her curses spread to others… for example, severe pain locally when you have sexual arousal… physical abnormalities due to air infections… throat, paralysis, fever… Vert's magical stripping moves may help prevent it… but if you can't do that, we may also have abnormalities in our bodies if you stay dazed"

Schaughter and Barts were also listening to Lakshasa's condition in an outrageous manner.

I wonder why one woman is suffering so much.

But...

"Hmm, Kankai no?

"Oh, shit, you're right"

But Jarenga and Falga only had a cool look and cut off the extra sympathy and stray with a bassari.

"You're trying to do this to me even in such a half-dead state, right? You don't need forgiveness there, do you?

"He's not talking about any excuses or weak noises himself. Then it doesn't matter what the fuck it is to him that we pity him. If he wants to deal with us by his will and judgment, he's just gonna smash it."

We're at war now. Then don't let the extra thought fool you.

Don't give me bad sympathy, don't think about anything other than picking on someone relentlessly.

Falga's and Jarrenga's opinions were legitimate.

The language is understandable even to Schaughter and Bartz, who have naturally gained numerous experiences. That's why they both snorted convincingly.

But...

"So defeat relentlessly. Is that what happens? But then..."

Only Lower had a different look with a different thought.

What's this all about? Everyone thought so, but not long before Lore answered it, Lakshasa got ahead.

"Ancient Curse and Virus Air....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Something poisonous and foggy surrounding around Lakshasa stretches around and widens the range.

"Huh, it's not good if you touch that air! Not poison...... a curse that generates illness!

"Then I'll blow you away with my wind!

"Kill him with my flames. Ah!

Then, if I erase them all before they arrive, Shuut and Barts will simultaneously try to blow a poisonous mist with tornadoes and flames.

But...

"… Confusion……"

The magic used by me to disrupt the flow of magic!

Shut up, Barts' magic isn't working. Not like that...

"Normalization!"

But as soon as I thought so, a giant tornado and flame flew out of the sword of Shuut and Barts late, wiping out the magic of Lakshasa at one hair between them.

To this I found that the eyes of Pickle and Lakshasa moved slightly, albeit without expression.

It was Lore who did it.

"The magic of confusion is that not taking it is the first condition of dealing with it... if you take it, you just put aside time and wait for it to recover naturally... it takes time, so I've made a magic that normalizes the confusion"

I made magic. Yeah, that's what he can do. Understand the magic seen with that eye everywhere, and apply it to create your own magic. That's the power of lore.

And even more...

"Then we developed both the cursed ones from you and the magic to undo"

"Huh!"

"Uncurse!"

Lore said it was too sassy, but that's not as massive as it sounds in words.

The moment Lower went to us from afar and flew a number of things like magic tattoos from both palms, and it got tangled up in our bodies, I felt like all the admonitions that were tying our bodies had been broken.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey, healed."

"Me too!

"Oh, hey, I'm back! Good for you, you thought you could take my arrow off already! That's right, you're Prince Lore!

Back to a healthy body, we didn't think, "Whoa!," he rose roaring.

Realizing a body that had become so much easier, I ascertained the sensation of my body.

Once smiling at us like that, Lore turned to Lakshasa again.

"Lakshasa, the Demon King... if we can analyze your curse more deeply... we can lift all the curses that are falling on you."

…………………………

"And... you should stop wearing that demonic soldier outfit and the whole horseman thing. Plus this amalgamated dragon named Ananta. Sounds like you're constantly running magic to make it merge and keep it in shape, but you should stop doing that, too, right?

………………

"I can tell even if you haven't given it to your expression. You also have considerable physical pain and risk of unleashing one of your magic… it would be a sequelae such as curse mastery. In that, if we continue to activate so powerful a force, suffering will be unimaginable."

Does unleashing one of the magic involve pain? I didn't realize because I can't read Lakshasa's own expression, but is that how bad his body is supposed to be?

But if it really is, is that what Lakshasa herself hasn't been so aggressive in the tabular arena of history and hasn't tried to fight much?

'... where I have lifted the curse on this side... my already worn organs, nerves and senses... will not go back to normal. It's the same as casting a healing spell on an old nerve or bone that doesn't rejuvenate you... the flesh on this side is already fading apart from the outer surface on this side...'

"... Demon King Lakshasa?

"Mahatma Lore... even if I can analyze your symptoms... you can't save me."

Then it was then. In my head...... no, it's not just me. Maybe a voice echoed in the head of everyone who was in this watershed.

The voice of Lakshasa. Lakshasa telepathy.

'O Lord Mahatma... would there be an easier way to pay for the threat in this place? That is to parse and remove the curse of the use demon fusion used by this one... but what you do not do is forbid you to manipulate thousands of dragons freely into one... So you decided at a glance that you would run wild without withstanding the load on the brain generated by the development of analysis and removal magic, or at least take a great deal of damage... So you do not execute... The brave man, who should be a mass of self-sacrifice, does not take the initiative and sacrifice himself... It also spares his life because of the world in which the war ended?

Now that I think about it, even if Lakshasa can't talk a lot with a curse, I also thought I should talk more because I can use telepathy, but if using just one of the magics is painful, I can understand that I haven't spoken much telepathically before.

'Let's ask the other way around. You're at the end of a war... a world of peace no longer as peaceful as it used to be... and instead of a war, you want to do something for yourselves?

But now, still using telepathy to tell us all, that's all that matters.

"... aside from whether I've wasted my life... what do you want to do? It's been decided. It's about keeping the peace we've grabbed, and it's about keeping that peace going."

In the meantime, the clever representative lore shouted exemplary things.

But Lakshasa shook her head to the side.

'That, as a brave man... as a royal of the Arkline Empire... words as representatives of mankind... What I'd rather hear is a more selfish desire. selfishness. It's what I think because the war is over'

Deny that Lore's words are only answers as brave.

Lakshasa tells me to answer something more ego, not such an exemplary answer.

I... well, Ethan and the Fulchenko are going to come out pompous, but those guys...

"... selfish... right... suppose you dare to say... do you want to see your sister clear soon?

Answers that are not amusing. Well, this would be an answer as "brother".

Then Lakshasa...

'... Hmm, I want Hewlett the Ten Brave to grasp happiness as a normal woman... if possible, I want to stack more time with Aska... or... I don't know who the Aska is, but, well, that's the place'

"Become... Huh? Oh, Lakshasa the Demon King! This telepathy is in my heart too!

Rakshasa bastard, you read Loa's mind... I mean, the Loa one, you're still talking about Aska, that asshole! How hammered I was by that game!

Me almost erupted by accident. Eastham tilting his neck.

And crisp shrouds and barts.

"... The Burns of Fire... are stronger and happier than ever before... the wind flashing shrouds... are swinging between the two chairmen of the committee..."

- Whoa!

Two people panicking with a bright red face like I don't think they were two people who were very active earlier. I... you guys...

"Both King Farga and Prince Jarrenga prioritize their own thoughts regardless of the wars in the first place... I can't tell you about this side... this side moves according to the thoughts of this side, and I have a wish to fulfill... that's all"

That would be incomprehensible to the Lores as of now what Lakshasa is saying.

But whoever hears me, Ethan, and Lakshasa just said it understands.

It's not even an idea. It's not even great. It's not a matter of race or gender. A smaller whisper wish.

"My son-in-law. About Lakshasa..."

That's when Ethan, standing beside me and still looking at this situation, spoke to me.

"A long time ago, a long time ago, before you were born. The father of Ahe, who was the predecessor demon king of the former Klee demon kingdom, died in war after losing to Kyle, the Holy Knight. But the Klee demon kingdom did not until its demise at that time. That's because, shortly after the death of the previous Demon King, Lakshasa, who was still young at the time, took over the Demon King's throne and managed to avoid its demise. But I've heard that his life has changed dramatically since then."

………………

"To rebuild the weak state that was in danger of annihilation, every curse mastery and use of demons contract to strengthen itself, replenishment of soldiers by Sabato, establishment of assassination guild… continued to witness many curses, resentments, tragic sights, and even Ayako himself turned into a cursed and sickly flesh"

That's probably a past unknown to most of the world. In fact, I've never heard of it before.

Maybe it's Lakshasa's past I know because it's Ethan that he infiltrated the Klee Demon Kingdom himself in the past.

"While living such a life, I couldn't talk to him about anything on the battlefield, and I couldn't touch him with his heart. That's why I only thought he was inexperienced. I don't know if that's what I'm hearing now... but maybe the end of the war six months ago was all this."

No... no... The end of the war six months ago that Ethan is talking about may be one of the reasons, but I intuitively thought that somehow, at this time, the underlying cause lay elsewhere.

I don't know why. But it seemed so.

That was just before the end of the war... yes, the day Lakshasa first saw me...

"Maybe... the day I proposed to Ulla... I saw Ulla at that time and I thought that was some kind of whispering thought"

"With that little girl? ……

For a moment when he was told, Ethan twisted his neck, but immediately nodded as he was convinced.

"That's right. That princess is the daughter of the demon king Sharklew. But after Sharklew's death, he destroyed the country intact without succeeding to the throne. Bye... still that girl... could get happiness as one woman.... the opposite of Lakshasa... well... maybe that's why"

Lakshasa has sacrificed everything of herself to gain power as the Demon King in order not to destroy the country.

For years, unimaginable from that young appearance, he continued to sacrifice himself in order not to destroy the country, even in the pain of his body and spirit being eroded all the time.

But six months ago, the world's massive war was over. The Cry Demon Kingdom also erased its name from the world in a way that would be absorbed by the Yavai Demon Kingdom.

So what's the pain Lakshasa's savoring for right now? In a world without contention, it may mean nothing anymore.

"No more words.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Before I fight 'that country'... I can leave you"

At that time, Lakshasa was not even telepathic, and I heard her whining so in a small voice.

"Wait, Lakshasa the Demon King!

………………………………………

I don't need any more questions or anything.

Lakshasa herself doesn't seem to have any intention of talking or excusing herself.

Lakshasa once again raised her magic powers all over her body with Ananta.

Naturally, the Lowers enter an interception posture. We have to fight now.

On the other hand, I said my body was back to normal thanks to Lower, but I didn't immediately welcome her into the force.

Honestly, I don't have any shards about agreeing with what the Lakshathas are doing, and I'm not the guy who's supposed to be sympathetic to these things.

Instead, like that, he's the one who can lightly tap and bounce off "you deserved" or "you had bad luck".

Yet because I was listening to Lakshasa's whispering wishes, I didn't get the feeling of busting my enemies, as usual.

Maybe that's because I suffered from the curse of Lakshasa on my body even for a few moments, and I felt something for Lakshasa, who had suffered for years beyond anything comparable to the pain I felt.

- I want to be normal.

That's the whispering wish Lakshasa said then.

- - You don't have to be happy. You don't need strength, you don't need immortal flesh, and you can be weak. I can touch or be touched by someone without spreading evil just being alive, with no incapacitated flesh, pain or disease... I just want to be normal...

Only that wish creeps into my head...

- - Look at that princess smile......... I'm starting to think so

I couldn't move to take him down.
