Maou Reijou no Kyouiku Gakari

"Yes, what the hell are you talking about...?

A benefactor in memory and a colleague in front of him.

Two people whose hair color, tone, and expression do not resemble each other at all.

He manages to spin words as he wields a phantom of overlapping two faces that can't possibly overlap.

"It means as it is. I'm here as much as I can to help you get your revenge."

"So that means... because you..."

Yes, this guy is the caretaker for those kids, my colleague. That's the only relationship I have.

All of a sudden, I started talking suspiciously about it saying it was the truth about this world, and finally I said I was here to help my revenge.

That makes me feel like I'm even daydreaming, beyond the realm of believing and not believing at the earliest.

"Not yet...... don't you see?

Rose releases one of my fist-wrapped hands and takes it to her own eye.

And a faint amount of magic enters its fingertips.

It's a magical inverse technique, or magic to disarm, to simulate some of the flesh that this guy used before taking Anna into the human world.

After the fingertips glow brightly, it is excluded from the eye area.

It was a small black dot that emerged from under that finger slowly released.

It's nothing special, little porcupine like it is in anyone's body.

But its position and size were perfectly consistent with that accompanying smile that you can always recall.

Again, two faces overlap.

"Na...... l......?

She should have been in a burning orphanage then.

So there's no way I'm here. There's no way we can meet again in a place like this.

Though I thought so, the name came out of my mouth naturally.

"It all started that night..."

Without responding to my words, Rose cut out like that, staring at me with the same thin eyes of emotion as before.

"It was as if I woke up in the dark woods as I was born at that time. What I had was... fragmented frenzied memories... Familiar buildings that burn down... all I could do was lurk my breath and hide, one by one killed in front of me..."

Rosé goes on in a tone without discouragement that tells the story of someone who is not herself.

"Not sure who I am, but with only fragmented memories, I... wandered through the woods to escape something that would follow me unexpectedly... the world... And how much he was doing... and finally before I tried my best... Master Hazar showed up."

Rosé's monologue spinning in a pale narrative.

The origins of this mysterious maid I wanted to know are now told from my own mouth.

Disappear all the sounds but her voice, just shut up and listen to the word as the world falls into the illusion that it's just me and Rosé.

"He came asking looking down at me falling to the ground." You still want to live? 'and…. And now he asked me why I snorted. With that in mind I thought. Why I still want to live even though I see myself like this, the only emotion that I should have lost due to a strong trauma in my eyelid, when my strength fell out of my body and I even had difficulty opening my eyes… was the only one of them left strong as a burning flame "

I can clearly see a slight force in Rosé's palm wrapping my fist and a thin sweat seeping out of its surface.

"It was... vengeful. Strong vengeance against those people who took away the smile you praised for just about everything that was left of me...... In dying, I learned that's why I still want to live. A strong hatred for the fact that the people who took everything from themselves are still alive somewhere in this world. Put that on the Spirit. Now I told him from me. 'I need your help,' he said... I don't know why I said that to him when he still might not have the same identity... but he laughed and took me back to his castle."

"You lived...... Alive..."

Despite being in the middle of a conversation, emotions I couldn't contain became words and leaked out of my mouth.

Everything has changed, from the color of my hair to my face, which was the same color as mine.

But the earlier words and the stories that have just been told. That memory, which matches the worst I have, was definitely from my benefactor, Nal Peridot.

"... now I am the only being left with the vengeance and slight memory of Nal Peridot. I don't know if it's okay to say it's the same as her..."

"No, that's fine now... if you were alive... so..."

That's what I tell Rose, who shuddered her voice and groaned sadly.

Yes, that's fine now if you were alive, even if your appearance and personality have changed slightly. As long as I live, I'm sure I'll see you again...

I can't stop feeling like I'm about to overflow out of my eyes.

Because if you show Naru such pity, he'll laugh at you.

"Yes...... But besides vengeance... there was only one more thing left strong for me."

"One more thing...?

A stronger force can be applied to Rosé's hand.

I'm not sure what emotions you have right now, but I can see that hand is shaking slightly.

"The time I spent with you... only memories about you... I clearly remembered all of that. So I believed that you would be alive and sharpen your fangs to bite them... until the time came..."

Rosé says in a tone that contains deep emotions.

"Oh... I've been polishing you... that's like crazy..."

I am driven by the urge to explode my emotions and embrace that body, even now, remembering the days of training I have accumulated to take everyone's revenge.

But we still need to listen before we do.

Why did you show up before me in such a way now?

To find out all about it, I now indulge in emotional impulses and continue to listen to its monologues.

"Oddly enough... no, or should I be taken for granted... my purpose and that of Lady Hazar were consistent. And when I told him that you existed, he also told himself… and decided that that was the only path left for the Demons, and he immediately rode my plan"

"The Demon King...? Ask me about me?

"Yes, hear from his own mouth later on about why"

"... ok"

There are so many things I would like to hear about why the Demon King rode the plan and why he kept quiet about who he is until now, but now let's listen to this much changed childhood story first.

Even if we get any more new information into this head that's just about to burst, we might be able to figure it out.

"Having confirmed that you are alive and that you have sharpened those fangs as you imagined, I… welcomed that night. And I saw you at first sight in the woods that night, and I knew right away that it was that boy I remember. On the other hand, you never noticed me when my face and hair color changed dramatically."

"Oh, sorry but I really had no idea..."

I mock myself back as I look at Rosé's face with words that seem a little obstinate.

I never thought that Nal would be such a beauty. I tried to go on like that, but the boulder lit me up and the words held to the back of my throat.

"At first I thought about naming them, but then I thought the plan would mix with impurities, and until then I decided to treat them as Rosé, the caregivers of those kids. And then for a few months, you did better than we thought. He led those children, raised them, and sharpened them as the last fangs left by the Demons."

"... you're saying it was your plan to let me raise those kids and confront them?

That's what I ask, staring into Rose's eyes.

But it's hard to think that's all there is to it.

There must still be a reason why you need to bother telling me that in this way right now.

"No, that's only a fraction of the plan"

"Then what the hell is it, what the hell are you trying to make me do?

Ask that to Rosé, who devised the plan and the doings, not Nal, and to that demon king behind them.

"Today, the first time you came here... you asked me why you only let them train like this now."

"Oh, you said..."

"The answer is... because they're not here right now to lead the Demons and fight humans."

"Doesn't lead the Demon Clan...? The Daughters of the Demon King? Aren't you going to make those kids heirs to the Demon King?

"No, you don't. They were gathered here to fight led by someone."

"A person...?

Ask with a hunch for that answer.

The faceless maid in front of him, and the living benefactor breathes heavily and slowly opens his mouth as if he had cemented his determination.

"Dear Frey...... No, Ray. As humans once did in order to fight the Demon King... now you will be the center, leading them, and creating an army to fool those heroes and to fight the madmen who distort the world. That's … the only plan I made that day with the vengeance I had left behind, and Hazar wagered on it."

And with my real name, the whole plan was revealed.
