Taking off my shoes and chilling my feet in the cold lake, I wandered over the water.
You haven't done this, you should go back to everyone and help with the field work.
But I can't even cheer up like that.
Illis hunts the demon beast and puts it in my hands... That was every day......
I want to go home, but I don't have the energy to go home.
I could have gone home if Illis had picked me up. I also hated myself leaving it to others like that.
But that's when the footsteps rang from the woods on my back.
I found out you were skipping. No, on second thought, if it was the demon monster lurking on the other side, this was a danger to my life.
Looking back to my back in a hurry, I was so stunned that I was supposed to soak my ass in the lake.
"Hey, what are you doing here?
"So who... Huh!?
I was on guard.
Because the person had bright white skin and hair and looked very invisible to humans.
And he looked so beautiful.
But he was a young man with a cold impression, and he had a strange atmosphere he couldn't speak of.
"I'm not the enemy. Friends of Beretotrut Harthol Perbust. Humph, would it be easier for you to understand if I called you Cat...?
"Uh... Mr. Electrum's, do you know him...?
"That's right. A very old friend. Very..."
When I exchanged words, he seemed calm and gentle.
Still, somehow, I have the sentiment of being cold or scared.
No, more than that, this look, maybe...
"That skin, it resembles my disease..."
"Is this it? This is not a disease."
"Oh, so you're dyeing yourself white...?
"Ha, ha, you didn't have that idea. Look, Null, in the first place, neither palsy nor this albinism is a disease."
I'm not sick. I couldn't help but remember a small fondness for him for laughing and saying that.
It was oddly convincing when he said it, and it made me want to believe it.
"What do you mean...?
"I don't believe it, but humans and demons were originally of the same race."
"Uh, I'm lying. I don't... Because, for example, cat humans and us are completely different creatures!?
"Right. But after a long period of time, the creature will be transformed into something else. And your skin was pale because there was a demon tribe somewhere in your ancestors."
Then the person who persecuted us is right...
There were people who said something terrible about the mixed blood that planted us in the Demon Clan. I can't admit they're right......
"I know how it hurts. The persecutor was more right. 'Cause you're sorry, aren't you? That's not true."
"Heh... but he and the others, it's terrible... it's terrible!! My grandfather, who always greeted me, told me that when my skin stained pale, it was a monster! My skin just changed color and you stopped treating me like a human being!!
If I had the strength of a demon clan, I think I would have avenged it...
They are monsters...
Such a human being, you just have to disappear everything from the ground...
"Ah..............."
He held me, distorted by hatred, and rubbed my back.
Yes, I did despair of humans. But Mr. Barney and the others are very gentle. They're all respectable people.
"It's like you're looking at me back in the day. Me too, back in the day...... no, I knew it was going to pull me off for real, so let's not talk about that."
"Huh...... Could you have retaliated against those who persecuted you...?
"No, I'm not. I just saved you. [M] I abandoned my hatred and tried to save the world. Anyway, the blood of the demons in you dyed your skin."
"I don't believe it..."
I stared into my own hands and distressed the reality that it was the evil ones who were right in their opinions.
Assuming I was drawing demon blood, that's what it is.
Even though there are a lot of gentle people like Mr. Electrum and Mr. Rick, Lovelay and Mr. Clay.
"Null, I tried to unite a world divided into two parts: a man and a demon. It's a completely different way to do things in here..."
When he untied his embrace, he put his hand on my shoulder and said so.
Gentle but cold. Well, he had something overwhelming that shook me up.
"You really are Mr. Electrum's friend aren't you...?
I suddenly got scared and swept his hands off and backed off toward the lake.
Then all of a sudden he points his fingertips at the shoreline of my left hand.
Magic. A sharp arrow of ice was born at my fingertips, which froze the shore in the back.
Surprisingly, I jumped out of the lake and lost my hips on the shore, but everyone deserves it.
"I can't teach you a bow or a sword, but I can teach you magic. You have a gift for magic. Exactly, though it doesn't extend to the rebirth of the Demon King..."
"Is it true...? Are you talented, me?
"At least much more than a bow."
This guy is amazing...... If this guy taught me, I could fight...?
I don't like everyone's stuff anymore. We need stronger powers to get on the back of Illis.
"Please, tell me! Uh - white, brother...?
"Huh, is that me? Yeah, you're in trouble, didn't you think of your name..."
"What, it's my name...?
"Yeah, my real name is very bad. Yeah, call me Apollo. Okay, let's get started, Null."
Apollo, a young man with bright white skin, taught me magic.
He was tough but accurate and immediately made me feel like a respectable mentor.
● ◎ (ΦωΦ) ◎
"Yay... Yay! I did it, Mr. Apollo!
"Excellent. You're just like me, you seem to be good at ice magic"
I learned the magic of Icebolt. [M]
He smiled blindly at me as I rose, and then suddenly he remembered even when I was dizzy, he let his upper body fall into the trunk of the tree.
"What, it's okay and awesome!?
"I wonder if the name Sun (Apollo) was too sarcastic... Sorry, I don't like summer and sunshine... it's time for me to leave you alone."
"So, but if you get some rest..."
"We'll be fine in the woods. I'll be back in class again, Null."
Laughing at me worried, Apollo left for the back of the woods.
Then, as if I had been waiting for you, Illis came back to me with a replacement.
"Awww."
Two neck hunting rabbits in his mouth are lowered to the ground, and an iris rings with a sweet voice.
To Iris like that, I showed off my ice bolt.
An ice arrow hits the lake and flies away like a drain.
"Look, this isn't going to be Illis' stuff anymore! Come on, if we get the rabbits to everyone, now it's time to hunt together. Yikes!
"Awww! Awwww!!
I first hunted my own prey that day. [M]
I'm desperate to live over there, but so are we. Achievement far prevailed over guilt in killing lives.
Still, Mr. Apollo, he had a little scary vibe, but there was something about him that seemed lonely.
He understands our suffering to a deep point, one of the few.
Hope to see you again......
I wish Mr. Apollo lived with me in this room.
Next time you come to see me, I'll tell you so......
