Old Memories of Demon Stone [3]

"Yes, no, I can't... I don't know what that means, I don't think it has to be me..."

People-friendly, troublesome retreat, lots of likes and dislikes, love to sleep.

She had only one special talent for that.

"Arche, but you woke up. I have that talent, that's why Sylvia and I want Archet to do their best."

"It's okay. Me and Cain will be there to help you, so... right?

That talent is to be strong.

Archet was purely blessed with the gift of becoming strong. That is above all important to the demons, a special talent that is difficult to obtain.

The three of them had their first adventures for decades. Saved many demons and built one town. Now based there, to the extent of occasional adventures.

For they that dwelt there adored Cain, and Sylvia, and Archet, and followed them for a long time.

Basically, they take good care of themselves. They couldn't leave the demons living there alone. A number of houses were built, wells were dug, and Sylvia conveyed a lot of technology.

With so many developments, the land has become a paradise for the Godless Demons.

"Then on your behalf. Sylvia, your sister is fit, her appearance... and her personality."

"Oh? What do you mean by personality?

"Pi, pi......!?

"What a sounding like an approximate bird..."

Don't mess with Sylvia in a cheap way. Archet who had lost track of it. But if you think about it, you're right, Sylvia is better suited as someone who stands up. If so, why bother being yourself? That's weird and I can't help it.

"... Your talent has been noticed by both me and Cain since the beginning. But... I never imagined I'd wake up to the Demon King."

"So, but just the metaphor...... No matter how, I don't feel like I can beat you both. So I'm sure there's been some mistake, yeah. I'm sure it is."

It would be a difference in experience. Archet should probably be stronger if it's local. But in the sense of combat craftsmanship, it can't be suitable for Cain and Sylvia yet.

"When I first met you, I thought you said, 'I'm a lump of possibility' or something..."

"I have no idea what you're talking about"

I look at her and wonder what happened to Cain. Sylvia is the most reliable person at times like this. Cain chills and looks at her side.

"... let's do this then. Me and Cain will do the work we need. So, Archet, you just have to be king. So everyone's relieved. So if you just sit in the chair, that's fine."

It was the final compromise.

Already, everyone knows that Archet has become the Demon King. Therefore, it can no longer be misstated, so in the end, there was no other way to ask Archet to be king.

"... Really? Don't you lie to me?

"Have you ever lied to me before?

"They said they weren't in there, but they used to put vegetables in sweets all the time."

That was years ago, but Sylvia was desperate to feed Archet vegetables and had mixed them with sweets as a bitter meat measure.

In the end, I didn't realize the taste, but while I was eating, I saw a vegetable attached to a dish and in an instant I had a look of despair.

"... I have no idea what you're talking about."

I look like I'm thinking, Sylvia, and I look in the direction of the day after tomorrow. I feel so deja vu.

"(I see. Did Archet resemble Sylvia)"

Her escape was Cain, who realized it was a Sylvia concession. But if I point that out, I won't touch it now to jump on myself.

I stopped just remembering.

"It's no use shirabara. My memory is good..."

"Then why did you forget the line you said?"

"Cain is fine. I've always thought that's not a good place."

"Arche, you can't say that."

Smile, Cain looking at Sylvia. I was impressed by her covering myself...... but I was made to understand in the following words that it didn't happen.

"Sure, Cain is fine. There are quite a few things to point out that I don't think that's a good idea."

"Right?

"But yeah. That kind of prudence is also important.... Right, Cain?

"Oh, yeah. Right."

I only have the energy to give an empty reply anymore. Because you two are too free. Of course I don't think about this, but I never talk about it. Because it will be even more troublesome.

"... but why me? I'm just a dreamer. Not even Durahan, like Cain, not Elderrich, like Sylvia. Just a dreamer becomes a demon king.... If everyone hates me, I'm scared"

During his journey, Cain evolved from living armor to Durahan. And like Sylvia and Archet, he got a beautiful face. And Archet fought those two, but he just never won. It's more like every time, but it's on the Cotempane.

Therefore, I am not sure.

I fear for it.

That's why I can't believe it.

"... then one thing, let's do the ritual"

"Rituals...?

Seeing Archet, who really doesn't like it, Sylvia suggested one thing.

"Yeah, it's a ritual.... Let's tie the edge. Forever in the future, so that we can gather wherever it is. Prayer."

"What is it...... What do you mean?"

"Even if I try to be a demon stone. Even if they scorch this body and try to eat it. Somewhere, I'll be sure to see you again."

"So sister. I don't know what that means..."

Cain, who is listening next door, was strongly interested in the words. We demons? Tie the edge like a person?... I don't like a whole lot of people, but Sylvia's words stick deep into Cain's heart.

"Let the three of us be a family. That's what I'm saying."

"!?... Yes, not until now?

"Become a more, deeply connected family. That's what I'm saying."

"Nah...... be. It's gonna be a deeper family! How can I be!?

I won't put it to words, but it was Cain who was excited.

Anyway, we are tied only by thin threads. As much as I had to think so, it was a dangerous relationship somewhere. It's a unique value as a demon, a trigger for our own encounter… It's good to be able to come up with different things, but to connect even deeper.

"Does Archet remember the dry adds?

"Ugh, yeah! I remember! Those people who look so hard to live...!

"Yeah, well, sure, it's hard to have the habit of rooting. But nothing could convey that much love, could it?

A culture full of disadvantages, but it was a dry add-like habit that loved the other person all the way. When Sylvia tells me that, there's a part of Archet that convinces me too.

"... ok. Set aside the fact that it looks hard. But why the dry adds?

"Similar rituals can be done by magic. So let's do that, too. That way, you're not afraid of Archet either, are you?

"So you can......!?

I even said I was not going to live until just now, and Archet returns his palm lightly. If we hear we can do it, there's no way we won't.

"Sylvia. Can we do that, too?

"Yes, I can.... but, you know, it's a secret that we did that sort of ritual? Because it could be abused. And this is one curse, so if you use it more often, you can't do it."

"... yeah. Okay."

Archet replies, but she was thinking of one thing at this moment. That's because I'm weak, but I don't know if it bothers you two because of me. That's what's really pulling my tail.

But even with that in mind, the desire of the three of us to really connect had dispelled that backward thought.

"It's a good opportunity, let's think about our family name too"

The existence of a demon basically does not have its own family name. Because there are so many rare relationships and I rarely admire the form of family.

"Nice. It's really like family, and I agree with you."

"A, and Archet! Archet agrees!

"Right. I wonder what kind of name it would be..."

That's how Sylvia starts thinking about her family name. Cain and Archet watched it in silence, looking forward to it, like pets who had put it in front of a treat.

"... both of you. Do you remember the name of this continent?

"And I know! Ishtal......! I don't know who started calling me that, but that's what they call me...!

"Yes, I do. Nice girl, Archet."

"Huh..."

Archet, delighted with his uncluttered face, is silently stroked in the head. The name of that continent, which at some point began to be called Ishtal, is a name that has already been widely passed on not only to demons, but also to humans.

"In the Word of God, the family is liquor. I'm going to be a family deeper. So why don't we borrow God's word?"

"Can I borrow it? Don't they piss you off?

"Hehe... if Archet was being a good girl, he wouldn't be mad at you, would he?

"... then it's better! Arche, I'm gonna be a good boy!

With the tension still high, she is no longer only honestly listening to Sylvia. Cain, just standing beside him, was soothed by the exchange between the two.

"Then God won't be angry either. So shall I borrow it?... but it's a little hard to say in Liquor, so, uh... make it Liquor..."

I feel my body have a fever, but I'm sure that won't keep it down.

Because the words that Sylvia emits mean more to both of us than anything else.

"I've made up my mind. Our family name is…… --"

—— The demon king could not be confident in himself.

There's also a reason that my brother and sister, who did well, were always beside me.

But more than that, she was timid.

After getting her family name, she still didn't feel confident, but gets the biggest weapon: security.

And he believed in his family, and stood in the land as the demon king.

… Finally, the Demon King was born in Ishtal, this continent.
