Miniature Garden Chemister

21. Hinami: Part II

Oh, it hurts, it hurts, I need to wake up from the world of consciousness alone soon. That's what I'm conscious of trying to wake up to, but is it because of the pain, or is there another factor - it doesn't work.

"I wonder how I can wake up, I need to do something about the injury soon - that?

Is it normal to talk?

Until just now, it must have been hard to just breathe because they cut me off. Yet words were coming out of my mouth.

Try reaching where you think you have rough wounds, but there are no scratches.

... It's just a world of consciousness, so you recovered on your own? I tilt my neck, but if I'm not injured, I'm going to get up for now.

The place is with you just now.

The lowest level of the spiral staircase that Suzuka was connected to.

There's just one difference.

Ichiru and Suzuka are nowhere to be found.

"…… you mean you're awake?

What happened is that I was probably cut with Mr. Suzuka's short knife. Keep it up. Ickle called my name over and over again, but I don't remember it from there.

I don't even know how much time has passed and I'm in a hurry.

"But it's hard to think that Ickle is going to let me go somewhere...... right? If it were Ichiru, I wouldn't be able to handle it..."

However, if you are in battle with Mr. Suzuka, it shouldn't be.

"By not here, you mean you went up the spiral stairs for now, right? If there were a scratch on the spiral staircase, you would definitely have climbed up and gone"

I looked at the bottom of the spiral staircase and found the wound.

Though I thought it was made of sturdy materials, it may be made of materials that are surprisingly easily damaged. If we follow the wound at this rate, we might be able to get to both of them.

Yes, I thought......

"It only scratches a few steps below..."

Does that mean we're both awake, after all? If so, it would be a pleasure.

"Oh, well."

Ok.

"Suzuka, I was so surprised when you cut me off. Probably woke up in that shock."

That can be a lot.

Ickle must have woken up surprised, too. Yeah, that's kind of convincing. Nevertheless, I haven't woken up yet, who I am.

I can't let Ichiru come over here again just because of consciousness, and I have to wake up quickly, right?

"But what do I do? - Hmm?

I thought it would be easier if I woke up surprised, but that's hard on my own, too. With that in mind, an unpleasant noise called Kashan came into my ear.

- My foot is stuck.

"……… Shh."

'Cause until just now, there wasn't anything like this.

Did I trade you for Suzuka's position?

That is,

"Demon King?"

When I realized it, I was whining about the impossible.

"That's right, you just have to check......! Status!

Even if you don't know for yourself, there is something convenient about this world that is visible about you. I don't usually see it, but it's very useful in times like this.

What I should be worried about are these three?

There should be no problem with mental body because it is about the status quo. So there are two major issues left.

Soon I will be the Demon King.... What do you mean, the Demon King is conscious and has moved on to me? But I didn't feel anything like that.

Then, immortality of skill.

"I don't know what to do..."

Could it be that when I wake up, I will descend as the Demon King? That's a big problem, so much so that I thought I shouldn't wake up like this.

"Hinami"

"Eh?"

Suddenly they call me by my name, and I look back behind my voice.

I was a young man.

…………

Although it was me - instantly, I understood that this was the Demon King. I'm the demon king myself, so it's no surprise that he was looking like me.

But how did you show yourself?

Unlike Mr. Suzuka, he also speaks the language... even if it looks normal. Instead of feeling signs of an attack, I even think you're calm.

"Yes, it's the Demon King."

"! What I thought............"

'I know, of course.' Cause I'm the Demon King, but I'm also Hinami. '

The demon king, smiling at the dust and my appearance, continues his words with terrible pleasure.

"People have always been strong. That's why I've been suppressed. I thought if I were Hinami, I'd be fine, but I can't seem to. '

The Demon King tells me it's going to disappear.

"… I am not as strong as Suzuka."

So I tell him honestly that I can't do anything to hold back the Demon King.

"Yeah, Hinami's not strong"

"Right."

"But someone who loves you is so strong"

"! What is that..."

The ones who are sending me protection are Master Rig, Master Lettysreel and Mr. Kirari. Of course, we're all strong, but if we go with strength, I'm sure Master Rig will be overwhelmed.

... thanks to Lord Rigg that I will not be ruled by the Demon King?

"Yes."

"……… do not read your mind at will"

"I can't. Because I'm gonna pour in."

I can't read the Demon King's mind, but it's kind of sloppy. With that in mind, I wondered if I could wake up and what would happen to this demon king.

"I will vanish if I stay like this. Well, Master Rig is too powerful. '

"Extinction..."

That the demon king, who should have tormented Suzuka all along, would disappear so easily? Once again, I admire the awesomeness of Master Rig, so I don't have to be the Demon King.

Well, I noticed.

"Hey, Demon King"

"What?"

"Don't disappear, you can stay here"

And the words spilled easily out of my mouth.

"……… because I will be the Demon King"
