Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

151: Temporary respite

All those who were there heard the truth of Akwinus breathing.

Even though he had met the first demon king Adams, everyone lost their words and just stared at Akwinus' face, saying that he was in friendship with Adams and watching her with his eyes until her death.

Just Lillin could see the flame of remorse shaking in her red eyes. What do you regret... I was angry that I somehow understood it.

Perhaps he regrets not being able to protect her legacy [Shanjumon]. Because he was too overconfident in Adams' Nucleus to make it through to keep the promise he made to her.

A hidden treasure in the [Shanjumon Cave]. It does not exist for anyone living in the world, but it is the power of the Nucleus to embody its will to preserve the place of memory between Adams and his friends.

"... Akwinus, why have you kept quiet?

Yveam speaks with a feeling of blame.

"... the more people who know the truth, the more people who want the Nuclear."

"That's not true!

"Besides"

Huh?

"Besides... I couldn't help but tell anyone about the fact that he suffered."

For Akwinus, he was still a respectable man.

The past the other person suffered from. You thought that the fact that you killed your friend with your own hands wasn't just something she told you to tell others.

He's a wasteful and disciplined man.

Lillin gazed at Akwinus with her inner tongue. And Yveam also understood his thoughts and stopped his words.

Lillin thinks that if this hadn't happened, he probably wouldn't have spoken.

"So...."

At that time, you will obviously know that there is a feeling of anger coming out of Akwinus. Even Yveam and Marione feel his vibe and drink hard.

"So be sure to bully me. That's what I'm supposed to do."

Of course, the wrath was directed at Avolos, the ancestral demon king who destroyed [Shanjumon]. And Lillin knows that to herself... such a man.

(Looks cool and unchanged, its heat)

However, everyone knows that its strength is real and undoubtedly feared to be "the strongest of the Magus". Of course, there will be not only fear, but also envy, jealousy, and vision.

"Akwinus, thank you for talking to me."

Suddenly Yveam uttered a word to Akwinus, and with a little surprise Akwinus murmured "... princess".

"But believe me a little more."

…………

"Don't hide it."

…………

"I think it's hard to say or hard to say. But I'll carry any heavy things with me. I am... the demon king of all!

Just because I'm a demon king, I'm not obliged to tell you everything. Of course not. There's a past I don't want to tell anyone. If that is the thought entrusted to someone dear, it is too much.

And Akwinus is also suffering from betraying his thoughts. But she says we can share the pain.

That's why I want you to tell me whatever it is that hurts. He says he will carry everything as a demon king and walk as a sign to everyone.

(Whatever, I knew it, but you're a stupid, honest girl.)

Lillin stares at Yveam with her straight eyes pointing at Akwinus without shaking. Young enough to still stand as king.

It is only natural that you should be responsible for what you say, but only to the extent that you can be sure. It is synonymous with irresponsibility to speak of a responsibility that includes knowing one's vessel and being too overflowing to cope.

There is no way that Yveam can carry all the thoughts of the "Demon Clan". When Lillin sighed that she was still young and that she was just a fool running around,

"But even so, I'm a shallow-minded child from the perspective of Aquinas and Marione."

Yveam spits out words with a feeling of remorse.

"That's why I'm not the only one carrying it. As I said before, I want you to carry it with you. It's not impossible, but it's not impossible. Hiro taught me that too."

(What-what is it!?

I first reacted to Yveam's word Hiiro.

"Let me carry as much as I can. I'm sorry, I'd really like to carry everything, but I need someone to carry it with me right now."

I'm sorry, but Akwinus' hand rests gently on her shoulder.

"Akwinus....."

"Princess... no, Your Majesty....... you've grown up."

Not yet.

Aquinas and Marione were hard to understand, but there was certainly a smile that seemed happy. I'm sure you're glad she didn't say anything irresponsible.

But Lillin is more than that...

(Kh... Hiro, is that him?! It's still natural! It's natural! Or milk! It's milk!

I stumbled upon Yveam with a much bigger breast than myself.

"Nofofofo, lady, I have a need for poor milk!

Shiuba made an uncomfortable sound in her ear, so she gave her a back fist for now. Thankfully received, Siuba is bleeding from her nose and lying on the ground.

Xel was staring at the siuba with a bitter smile, but coughed up one thing to get everyone's attention.

"May I have your attention?"

Lillin looked at him like everybody else, holding back her frustration.

"As for the future, now that the ancient demon king has acquired the Magic Sword Sacrifice, we need to plan what we will do in the future. Fortunately, he won't be able to move for the time being, so there's still time."

"Hmm? How do you know that? If you had that kind of weapon, you could have attacked me right away, right?

Lily asks, but Xel shakes his head and denies it.

"No, there's a reason I can't do that"

"Why?"

"Yeah, by now he 's--"

"How is your health, Number 05?

I asked a man named Hiyomi, one of Avolos' men.

The person who meets him answers in response to the words.

"I can't say anything right now."

It was Kilia who expressed her pure white hair and inorganic emotions like snow.

Zero Five is the identifier of Kilia, where there are more than one. Zero Five was also close to the demon king Yveam.

Now in front of them was a sight of a large crystal embedded in the wall, inside which Avolos floated naked.

Bubbles and blisters appear regularly, as if there was water in the crystal. Look at Avolos, who doesn't move like he's dead, and number 05 says,

"Your Majesty was prepared for this."

"Does the sword Sacrifice weaken you so much?

"It seems so. Instead of gaining the power of destruction, they demand the life they deserve."

"Otherwise, the" First Demon King's Core "would not have been available...."

"Most of His Majesty's body that came back was dying. It wasn't important because I was ready for the treatment, but it would have been a dangerous bet for His Majesty."

"I wish someone else could do it, but no one could pull that sword out."

"That sword is part of The Devil. It only responds to those found in the Magic . And it was admitted to you, Your Majesty, that's all."

Zero Five quietly sends his gaze to Avolos.

"... is Kainavi in jail?

"Yes, I'm being a little careful."

"I don't know how he feels, but you can't just point your fangs at a comrade."

A girl named Kainavi saw the run-down Avolos and told a man named Ishka why he couldn't protect Avolos.

I wish Ishka had explained it correctly, but the words were "none of your business."

Kainavi, who had forgotten me by that word, poked his fist at Avoros because of Ishka.

Of course, she was troubled to be exposed by them, so I took her into custody and threw her into the castle cell to make Kainavi the main culprit grow up.

No. 05 told her what Avolos had told her, but she still didn't seem to be able to suppress her anger toward Ishka, so she decided to have her head cooled for a while.

Ishka didn't seem to want to solve the misunderstanding in Ishka, but she said she had a mission and left somewhere.

He's a free man.

Hiyomi exhales a slightly stunned and mixed breath. And just like No. 05, I turned my face to Avolos, who still couldn't move even with a pimple.

"... when will His Majesty wake up?

"I don't know if that's clear. However, Your Majesty has told me one thing."

"What is it?"

"... when I wake up, that's when..."

No. 05's eyes glowed suspiciously and his thin lips trembled.

"... the battle has begun."

My eyes are narrowed.

"Well, then, we must be ready for His Majesty to wake up."

"I'll take care of it."

"You and your Majesty, do your best to wake up as soon as possible."

That's what I'm gonna do.

Hiyomi once again glanced at Avolos and left the scene.

In the conference room where the Demon King Yveam is holding the Demon King Conference, Lillin and the others were discussing the "First Demon King's Nucleus", but in the process, it became a topic that the ancestral demon King Avolos, who acquired a powerful power called "Nucleus", would attack in the future.

But in Xel's explanation, everyone, especially Yveam, was stroking his chest down, knowing that Avolos would not be able to move for a while due to the side effects of using Sacrifice.

But just because we were able to postpone the war doesn't mean it's a fundamental solution. Even if we get a respite in time, we need to put in place an Avolos countermeasure within that time.

However, Lillin vomited her words with a feeling of loss of interest.

Now you've given me the information. Then let's go back to the room. "

Lily got up from her chair and tried to stay behind.

"Wait a minute, Lord Lillin!

Yveam's impatient voice turned Lillin around.

"What is it?"

"Oh, no, I really appreciate the information. But if you can, um... can you help me?

…………

"I also know that Lillin and Hyiro are guests. Especially Hiro. But now we need power."

…………

"Of course, I know you're asking for something out of the question. It's like you're asking me to risk my life for my country. Lord Lillin is a" Magus, "but he doesn't live in this country, and you'll have something to do."

"... you can't hold back until you know that much?

"I'm sorry! I've decided not to pretend to protect my country anymore! I'm weak! That's why I need someone to support me! I'm sorry, but I'm still about that!

Lillin stared at Yveam, who spoke with regret.

(This guy... rumor has it that only ideals are ahead, and sweetheart flatly talks about things she can't do...)

I know that there are some discrepancies between the ratings I have heard.

"... please! We need your help! Exactly!

"...... do you think the King can lower his head so easily?

In a cold way, Lillin tries to see how she reacts.

"If it's good for the country and the people, I'll lower my head as much as I want! You can treat my life like dust!

Lillin's eyes were unconsciously opened to Yveam, who said something incredible with her head down.

"... that's too much to say."

Huh?

"No matter how light your head is, think about looking down at your opponent."

"Eh, ah...."

"Besides, stop treating your life in a dusty position while someone who admires you. I know your self-sacrifice comes from past experience, but it makes sense because you're still alive. If there's something you want to do, remember to stick with it alive, little girl."

Yveam was stuck in Lillin's sermon as if he had been poked by falsehood.

"Well, from what I've just heard, you think it's a little girl for His Majesty? And act like you're the leader! You too, no, you're a little girl!

"What?

As Marione put it, Lillin put her blues on her forehead.

"Hey, Marione! Lord Lillian is a guest!

"No, Your Grace! No matter how many of those boys you're with, you're too polite to ignore! It was Xel Gio who gave us the information in the first place, isn't it this little girl?

The tingling and bluish muscles deepen and the anger voltage rises. He seems confused as to how Xel can accommodate this situation. Shiva is staring at Lillin, who for some reason is making her cheeks twitch as a nicotine.

"Marione, you must be rude to Lord Lillin! And it's only natural that we should keep our heads down for you! And I know there's no mistake in what she said! Well, it was a little shocking that a little girl like Lord Lillin called me a little girl....."

"Look, little girl! Your Majesty thinks you're a little girl! No, it's obviously a little girl, not a little girl!

"Sorry about the little girl, Marione! Sure, Lillin may look like a" Magus "on the outside, but even if she looks like a young girl, she's not really her age!

"But, Your Majesty! No matter how long you've lived, it's rare to see a young girl like this! I mean, this little girl is definitely a little girl!

"Well, shouldn't you choose a word, even if you're a little girl!

"No, Your Grace! If you are a young girl, you should speak up as a young girl! Because she's a little girl!

Lillin's hair, with her burning Guren hair, began to shake like a flame.

Did you really think this was a bad idea, Siuba?

"Lady! Master Marione is such an asshole! Yes, make a mistake. Come here! Your daughter can't be just a little girl! Super Little Girl! No, it's no exaggeration to say" Miracle Little Girl "anymore!

A right upper that suddenly punctured the chin of the chin. He stuck his head in the ceiling... silently.

"Well, this is always the same thing as a baby girl....."

"Ah, that Lillin...?

Yveam called out his name as he was frightened by Lillin's strange atmosphere.

"Fufufufufufufufufufufufu...."

Lillin walks towards Marione with a definite step. And when you think you've stopped your feet, shake your face little by little and lift your face up momentarily.

"What kind of girl are you talking about?!"

Look at that face, everybody will be thrilled. Because I was angry because my face turned bright red with tears.

Yet, bewildered by his appearance, Yveam uttered unexpected words.

"... cute"

Yveam unconsciously whispered that he felt loveliness when the little girl was desperately defending herself. But it stimulated Lily's anger again.

Uhhhh ~

"Li, Lillin-san....?

Until then, Xel, who was silent, suddenly called out to Lillin, who roared like an animal.

"Come on, I hate you guys!

When he ran to the door of the room and thought he had stopped, he pointed his fingers at Yveam and the others.

"Remember that!

That said, he left the conference room.
