Kyūkei-san Wanna Take a Break !

Katori bell (tin).

I've seen you write that name before.

But now I know.

This person's kanji is originally a firebird bell.

I'm taking it from the fire bird.

I thought so from the beginning.

When he saw me, he first said that I was a demon, not a demon. And in that open-air bath... he refused to get along with me.

Furthermore, the magic used by Suzu-san was not all this magic or ninja magic, but the horizontal magic on the west side.

The Alliance didn't register anywhere because the race would appear when they disclosed their status.

And above all... he avoided me.

Because it's a demon race. That's not all.

Because my colour is the family of laziness.

... that's why I'm a little scared from here.

But... but!

I don't want to give up!

Firebird... Phoenix falls to the ground.

It turns into a human.

A mountain illuminated by the fire of Phoenix's body restores its natural darkness.

"... fu. You've been seen."

……

"What's the matter, demon tribe? If you're from the west, you're not surprised."

"Um, Suzu-san's name is...."

"... it's actually called Paola, but I've hardly ever been called."

"Paola-san...."

I... walked in front of Paola.

And... be prepared to tell (...) you.

"Mr. Paola. I have to tell you something."

Oh, something's changed.

"... I..."

"I am the second generation, Bellefegor."

At that moment.

Paola pointed her angry expression at me.

"Bellefegor....!

And he reached out to my neck and raised the flame pole.

Ahhhhhhh!? The HP of level 9999 that had just been lowered melted in an instant and returned to the original level of Jiujing.

I knew it, but I meant it. I'm trying to kill you...!

"Cuki-san!?

"Haaah! Giggle giggle!"

"It's okay, don't come with me!

I say back to the two of you who are worried,

"Ohhhh! Bell, no, Paola, you...!

"Shut up! This is between me and him! If we get close... no matter how brilliant it is, we can't take it easy!

"Ah... is that okay... you...?"

Yamaha has a spicy face.... but I'm sorry. I'm still waiting.

"... Paola-san... I..."

"Because of you....!

"... yeah..."

Paola's expression of anger... is gradually... crying.

"Ah... as much as it burns... from inside me, an endless rage rises... a flame of rage, a flame that directly burns my life..."

"... yeah, it's hot... it's the most painful thing I've ever seen..."

"Second generation... I can't believe you're still alive..."

"If you stay like this, you're going to die... Paola-san is so strong....."

…………

True. Even though my health is endless, this Phoenix attack is completely defensive and ignored. It's not a fire attribute, it deals damage as if it's directly attacking HP (Soul).

Oh, really... this is bad... I might have licked it a little...

………… ... why... "

…………

"... you can defeat me and kill me... if you're the Demon King..."

... oh, I knew it... this guy...

"I... I asked what my ancestors did..."

……

"I know you're angry... and I'm so happy... that you're angry right now..."

"Eh...?

"... because... I gave you an order to kill all mankind... and you're burning with unbearable anger against Belphegor, right?

"... that's right..."

………… ... me too... "

"I want to burn as much as you...."

"Why did my predecessors run into such extreme things... how annoying it was for me..."

……

"And because my ancestors are so different from me... I'm so sorry to you... to others...!

……

My feelings... are overflowing.

I've been blessed with friends and companions forever. I don't think I've had that kind of struggle since my last life.

What about Paola from Phoenix?

"I'm sorry...! I couldn't save you....! I can't go in there to help...!

……

"I'm sorry... until you're so angry... I can't do anything for you..."

……

"... I'm sorry..."

This is the only thing I can accept.

When I thought that the heat of relentlessly burning this soul was all 'for humans', I even felt honored to be burned in this flame.

So....

"So at least hit me with your anger towards my predecessors..."

"... I..."

"I... I was proud to be your family..."

And her monologue began.

"I was the most proud race. I valued the circle of life more than anyone else. And as a symbol of the circle, the only thing that burns with your flame is your body."

"So I was proud to be a Berfegor family member who was above all quiet and did not interfere mischievously with others. I... thought I could remain a proud symbol of humanity as a species."

"And yet....."

"But Bellefe Gore suddenly changed into a leopard. You can't even listen to my wishes, you can keep your consciousness and move it regardless of your will....."

"... screaming... but to me...... believe me... the man who honored me... will burn... and burn..."

I see... this guy...

... I'm not just a human ally...

It was enshrined...

Those people... those who believe in themselves, irrespective of their will... still feel like they've been baked with their own hands...

Just because you lived an ordinary life like me, just because you lived as a human being... is a terrible pain...

"I'm sorry..."

I stretch my arms out...

Like holding Paola's waist....

"... eh...?

Your body burns faster.

Her flame at close range burns me more powerfully than ever.

But... I won't let go.

This is... Paola's sadness so far...

"You don't know anything, do you...? Why did you go so far...."

"Because... I have to take your place, who can save Paola-san...!

"I'm going to die like this... even if I die!?

You can't die!

But!

"You can die! If Paola... accepts me, I can die for it! I want your commanded anger and the sadness of killing humans!

"... ahh, Taha..."

"I want to take it... because..."

…………

"... I... I... take everything... from Paola..."

... you're losing your voice...

I shouted too much... my strength is at its limit, not my HP...

That's a direct attack on my soul. I can't keep my awareness of the heat anymore.

Maybe it's the limit of oxygen...

... your consciousness... is fading away...

…………

-

... hmm?

"What? I...."

Kiuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The feeling of puffiness makes a light impact on my body.

This feeling... this feeling... this feeling that's obviously tight, but not close enough, this feeling that's so uneven and uneven that it creates a gap...!

"Eda-chan!

"Yes... yes! It's Edda, ahh, it's so nice...!

Well, you're kind of missed even today! Wow, that's a giggle from here. Ahhh, it's super awesome...

If you think so, you can feel it from your back...!

"I'm glad I woke up...."

This voice....!

"Nini-chan!

"Yes! I waited until I woke up."

Ehehe, the beautiful girl sandwich... is a beautiful girl sandwich with black and white market pine patterns on its skin and hair... I'll be delicious...

"... by the way, what is the situation now?

I'll explain that to you.

Whoa, there was Chiyo-chan next door.

Looking around, the bills were completely peeled off, but it seemed like a basement room.

You'll never look delicate, and you'll have to be crispy.

Kiri!

"... ufufu... I'm sorry..."

"Yeah, I thought you were right to say it yourself."

Chiyo-chan and I laughed at each other.

"So, what's going on?

"Well, I'll explain from the beginning. First of all, I thought of taking medicine to Nin-san, who suddenly became ill, and went underground without asking Nin-san if she wanted to see the giant outside...."

"Ugh... I wanted you to keep it a secret..."

Yes, that's right... I'm glad we took him down safely...

"Then, for a moment when the bird of fire appeared and defeated the giant, and for a long time afterwards... the flame pillar rose twice in total. Then a few moments later, Suzu-sama... oh, Paola-sama. The atmosphere has changed a little... and Paola has come to hold you down."

Paola-san had a princess around!?

Ahhhh! What a waste of time!

Please do it again ~ ~ ~!

"Um, are you sure?

"Ah! Ha, yes!

"Didn't Cuki-sama create an elixir for you? I gave him a drink earlier, and now he's up."

Oh, I see! I drank my elixir!

That'll heal you all, I'll do it!

"Well, thanks for explaining, Chiyo-chan. Well, then, what about everyone else...?

I know Edda was here, and she looked at me all the time. I'm just glad.

But... what happened to Miyawa-san and Sylvia?

"Um... you two..."

……

"You two have been preaching to Paola...."

-

In the corridor in front of the guest room on the second floor, where people would be paying, you can hear a voice from the other side of the fusuma.

"... and yet..."

"...... wait......"

"...... ma......"

... no, I wonder what you're talking about. I'd like to get in with a lot of momentum, but let me ask you... secretly. I decided to slightly open the gap.

"I've said it many times! As far as I can tell, Cuki-san is probably not just a reincarnated demon, but rather a demon king who can't kill humans, bad guys! That's my distraction... yes! Worry! I can't believe I'm going to burn it so long...!

……

"That's about it, Paola. As far as I can see, the Lord, for the sake of mankind and so on, if the Lord himself kills the human ally, then what he does is no different from the demon king of his ancestors! Don't you think it would have been irreversible if it weren't for the Cucumber Hall of Fame with such strength!?

"... there's no word to return..."

Oh, oops... I've been beating up Paola more than I thought... That was a bit of a surprise, so I opened my lid and entered. The door opens, and the sound of a tree called kakon sounds lightly.

Ah! Kyuki-san! Are you all right now!?

"I'm fine. - Okay, okay."

"Oh, really...!? It's as if I hadn't woken up before..."

Daijubu! I drank my elixir and I was invincible! I slept well after that, so I was awake full of energy! Yay! "

When I replied energetically... I saw the face of Paola's pendant with an unfortunate face when I was seated.

The hair... had a beautiful color of red on the top of the head and yellow gradient on the tip of the hair, making it a beautiful semi-long wave hair just like a flame.

First, go near Paola and sit in the middle... in front of Paola.

"Mr. Paola."

"... yes"

Um... If only you thought for me! Never mind!

Make a loud and powerful declaration.

Paola, look at me with a gloomy expression.

"Um, um! But I have one request."

"... demand... demand. I see. I wish you could say anything."

"This time... I want to be a friend!

Meet me in the public bath... meet me in the mountains... and be honest for the third time.

"... isn't it a mistake of family?

"I don't like that! I'd hate to have Paola under my command!

Paola seemed a little worried about not being a family member all of a sudden, even though she was being drank with a little momentum.

"Bellefegor and friends... friends are a reciprocal relationship..."

"Yes! Equal Friends!

"You have the ability not to die from being burned in my fire for a long time, and I blame you or attack you... and yet you accept me as equal?

"Because... Paola is really nice to me, and what you said was really bad for me... and above all, I want to talk to Paola more easily. Master and his family can't do that."

It's gonna be a wall that I can't help but say how okay I am.

After all, even if they say it's rude, I can't order the big trout, sea urchin and sunflower edges at a sushi restaurant that doesn't go around before my boss orders them. Even if that's the boss's only hope, what's impossible is impossible.

"Besides... if I make Paola my subordinate, it's not convenient..."

"Not convenient?

"Well, Mermaid Beecher is already my boss and a party member for my friend Sylvia."

"---What!? Eh, wait, Beecher!? Is Beecher safe?

Oh, my God, when I named Beecher, Paola responded a lot.

... I see, Leviathan, who is not hostile to humans, and his leading family member, Mermaid Beecher. They knew each other.

Certainly if the ancestor Berfegor was in a quiet time a long time ago, it wouldn't be surprising if his first family member, Paola, were having a conversation with Beecher.

All right, let's use this!

"If Sylvia checks it out, I know, but Beecher's a friend of mine to talk to."

"I'll tell you what. Beecher was being manipulated, and Cuki-san's medicine cured the dragon village from being attacked and confronted. You're a member of the Dragon clan now."

"That's right... Beecher is a friend of the Devil King..."

Mr. Beecher's information surprised Mr. Paola, too.

"So, if Paola doesn't make me a friend, it will inevitably be difficult to interact with Beecher. Me and Beecher are very close friends in Tamé."

"... ahh, that's certainly troublesome..."

Paola... raised her hands. The expression was a smile that took off a heavy object, like saying "lift up".

"Surrender. I had no choice in the first place."

"Mr. Paola."

"Besides... and... Myself... I knew it was untrained. When I was recognized as a leading family member of Bellefegor...."

... yeah, I knew.

Because your name.

Firebird bell.

I know the Firebird, Phoenix.

So, what's the name of the bell?

I put this on from the "Bell" that took the head of the bellfegor.

Don't forget your old master, even if you do that.

... after all, you're a very kind person.

A man of conviction who can say harsh things.

My favorite... really, really nice person.

"... Paola-san, um, well... to me and my friend..."

"I'm going to lose, my friend.... that means I'm on par with Berfegor."

"......! Yeah, that's right! Equal!"

I did it... I did it!

I... finally managed to get back my family and the people I was supposed to be closest to...!

Paola sits back in a correct position.

I will also stretch my spine in haste!

"Well, once again... Paola from Phoenix, a former Berfegor head family member, is just single now. And you'll be friends, not your men.... you may not be used to it yet, but let's go after the details, thank you."

Reach for me with that right hand.

I'm afraid... I'll take that hand back.

Paola laughs at me like that.

"Why are you so hot already? I want you to feel free to talk to me, so just tell me what to do when you're nervous."

Holding my right hand... with my left hand goo, I slapped my head hard.

Seeing her slightly taller and up close, her beautiful face is laughing at my reaction as if she were in trouble.

... ah, ahh... I didn't know I wanted it...

Paola is also an incredibly cool and likable type... rather, it irritates me to the point that I can't be equal...

"Eh, eheheh... sorry, nice to meet you!

"Yeah, nice to meet you.... the Demon King is an equal friend...... Bellefegor... I..."

Finally, I remember my old master with my eyes slightly lowered. I couldn't hear the little murmur... but I'm sure Paola has a lot to offer.

Still, he turned his face and laughed at me to blow the past away.

You look good with a smile.

So I finally became friends with Paola from Phoenix.
