Monster no Goshujin-sama

34. Tragedy's Descent

34

With Malvina's advice, we stayed in the dragon abyss for a few days to relieve the fatigue of our journey.

In this settlement, which is a hiding place, there is no facility for a stay, because normally there are no traveling people stopping by.

It was the house where the people inside lived that was rented out.

It's not made to fit dragons, it's a common size one.

Apparently, those who don't like being human have left me alone without much use, cleaned in advance and prepared.

Robbie was with us.

Coming home with Lily, she tried her best to pretend she was fine.

I think he's a strong kid.

You can't be so badly rejected and not scratched.

Even if that was something I had no choice...

……

I was sitting on my bed in a room alone.

I felt like thinking a little bit.

Lily and the others perceive my feelings and are moving to another room.

That's how I'm thinking about what Malvina told me.

In the back of my brain, I float its contents.

A former brave man was killed, how it happened...

At the time, Malvina said she was out of this forest, the original territory, and living elsewhere.

In secluded places, secluded.

Quiet and full living, though not glamorous.

Oh. That's like even having some sort of admiration...

There, a human army appeared.

Malvina escaped with the children.

I had no choice but to.

Some of the children were growing up, but some were still little, and more importantly, because she was weighty.

My husband, a former brave man, tried to buy her time to escape.

At first, he tried to discuss it, too.

With the children who had already become Cheng Long, they went out to negotiate.

But I couldn't.

No one came back on the spot, so I don't know the details, but they didn't conclude the negotiations.

Even in a spectacular battle, he was debated as an evil dragon.

The 'enemy' who killed him was - the Cathedral Knights and the next generation of brave men.

Siran and Kay, who heard this story, had a pale face.

Though the ex, the fact that a knight killed a brave man would have been a shocking event if I had tried them.

Of course, you know your opponent is a former brave man, and that doesn't mean the knights fought.

They've come to crusade monsters, and by chance, they must have gone to the ex-brainer.

Many years had passed by when a former brave man who met Malvina disappeared from the human world.

As for his power to turn into a dragon and his appearance, although the church had a record, it is impossible to realize it in an encounter of surprise.

The failure to conclude negotiations was also natural, if you think about it that way.

In this world, a monster that is willing and does no harm to man is not recognised.

Also, like Doppel Genger, some monsters take human form.

It's no surprise that they rarely beat us up before we talk about it.

In the end, the former brave man was killed with the child.

Also, although the brave man survived at the time, he was badly injured losing one arm.

The Cathedral Knights that accompanied them also suffered enormous damage.

Speaking to Silan, the brave man of the generation in question said he had suffered a great deal of damage all over the world because of his early loss of combat ability.

It should be called an accidental tragedy.

After the incident, Malvina decided to cut off human contact altogether.

With all that fighting power, I was cautiously overlapping it because of the experience of losing a lot of important things for one thing.

"Hey, Salvia."

I don't know, sir.

Salvia appeared fluttered and frontal in my voice, which he threw into the void.

"Malvina swallowed up her vengeance and decided to cut off contact with the humans. In the depths of this unconscious forest, where no one could enter, he created a hiding place.... Salvia gave you a hand, too. I heard you used a lot of precious magic tools."

"" The cornerstone of the world. "I got that from an old acquaintance a long time ago. With the magic tools the Cathedral Church is carrying, I hear there are some of the same things in the Imperial City... but you said you borrowed them to see how the hell you did it. Because it's valuable, it doesn't make sense to hold it, and because it was a favor of a handful of friends, I decided to use it."

And, like nothing, Salvia said... what do you think?

Wasn't it originally given to me by an old acquaintance and them to anchor the 'Misty Vault' to this world without a contractor like me?

Hiding the truth behind a pale smile, Salvia opened her feminine lips.

"I decided to cover up and hide the woods in" The Misty Boundary ". Never again, let that happen..."

Heavy exhalation leaked out of his lips.

"It's just that Malvina herself never seemed to think the choice was the right one,"

"... sounds like it"

That was what I was feeling as I listened.

'I can only protect you by closing this inside,' she was running her mouth.

There was no other way, so I had to, that's all.

In fact, Malvina went on like this after she told us about the tragedy that had happened to her.

- We have no ahead of us. All we have to do is sneak away and decay without anyone knowing about it here anymore.

No ahead.

I have no future.

The sincerity of the word was in Malvina's stomach at the time of her loss of her husband.

After the incident, she lay one egg, which was weighty.

New life.

It should have been, for them, a symbol of hope, because of what they had lost so much.

But the egg did not hatch for a long time.

Malvina, who had lost her husband, was to be slapped down by further despair, wondering if she had disappeared without even giving birth to a new life.

Still, she kept waiting.

All the time, all the time.

And the miracle happened.

Eggs hatched.

... hatched, should I say?

Who could have guessed that would be the top coat of despair?

Unlike the other children, my self did not budge on the child I was born with.

Yes. Nothing else, it's about Robbia.

How the hell did she not have herself?

In other words, what was different from the other children?

Perhaps the cause is the absence of the ex-brainer.

In another place from Me, he had the power of the monster and the heart.

It should have had a great part in the formation of the monster's self, a family member.

Nevertheless, they didn't affect Malvina or the other children.

I guess they were because they had already established themselves.

But for a newborn child, his presence was absolutely necessary.

But it has been lost.

In other words, the Malvinas can no longer even spin their future while pulling into such a periphery.

All we have to do is decay without anyone knowing, as Malvina put it.

Now I can understand why Sadias was referring to my existence and saying, 'Give us a future'.

I gave myself to Robbia because once the future interrupted by the death of a former brave man was spun again… there is beyond that.

- Takahiro Mashima. Perhaps you will give us a future.

Malvina said, even so.

- If you would stay in the dragon... and so on, you might even think about it around Sadias. But I don't want it. We gave up everything then. But maybe you're not. We must not narrow your possibilities for our sake.

The words contained strong thoughts.

I felt thoughtful.

As I have seen our future to the Malvinas, she may also be projecting to us our own 'what if' there may have been.

So we fear that we will undermine that possibility.

- I asked for Robbie.

Finally, Malvina said:

I'm sure she wants to get Robbia alone out of this finished world.

Even Rex, who is so resilient to that look, hated and deeply feared humans.

Perhaps the exception is about Thadias, and more or less, the tomorrow nature is what we all have in place if it's a dragon in the dragon abyss.

But only Robbia, unaware of the loss of her father and brothers and sisters, is, in a sense, not under the curse of the past.

I can stay free.

That's why Malvina kicked Robbie out.

May our hearts be poorly attached so that our presence does not become a chain that pulls our legs.

The fact that Robbie was entrusted to me was probably only possible if he saw it in my presence.

"... possibilities, or"

Stuff, twinkle spilled out of my mouth.

I thought it was a heavy word.

Because the meaning of the word possibility is not necessarily all good.

Back table of coins thrown.

Some things are good, some things are bad.

"Hey, do you regret knowing about the Malvinas?

Salvia lowered her brow butt when she saw how I sighed unconsciously.

"... no. That's not true."

I shook my clothes.

"It's not like I haven't thought about the future before... but it was big to hear what actually happened in person."

Malvina's story felt the real weight of the parties.

I don't know what's going on with us... but I can tell you that I've been reminded of something.

I guess we have to assume all the worst.

But don't get too pessimistic.

If we cage in, our possibilities will be closed.

That's exactly what Malvina said... because I figured it out with the Silans, so I did.

Carefully, but without fear, I must know this world.

Regardless, I understand there is a risk.

So when you have to, don't get lost in your decision.

Whoever the enemy is needs to be prepared to fight, fight and defeat.

All of that was my responsibility to lead the Lillies.

"Good to be here and listen to you"

When I said it, Salvia grinned.

"My husband would have told me that."

Sit next to me in a motion that doesn't make you feel weighty.

Two arms have grown.

"What, all of a sudden?

It was a soft embrace.

Because of the relationship between the contractor and the Spirit, or in Salvia, which usually takes the skin cheaply, this was the first time this was altered and held together in this way.

I was confused, Salvia said.

"Thank you, sir. Listen to me, Malvina."

"... that was a beneficial story for me too. Even Salvia, because you thought so, you brought me here, didn't you? It's not like you're thanking me."

"Yeah. But your husband would have taken it right up to Malvina's feelings with the word possibility, wouldn't he? That's what delighted me."

For Salvia, too, the tragic incident that struck Malvina and the former brave men would have been a great wound.

That's why you brought me here.

Therefore, what Salvia floated here was a smile of joy from the bottom of her heart.

"So, thank you"

"This way. I appreciate you bringing me here."

I returned the words, too.

What should I do now?

I felt that the goal that had been vague so far had been set by my coming to the land.

I have to talk to Lily and the others.

I need to speak to Robbia, too.

With that in mind, I felt my eyelids get a little heavier.

I was tired of traveling...... but would the cause have been the warmth of leaning in?

Salvia's embrace felt a little different from that from Lily and Gabella.

There, the labor and mercy from the elderly were perhaps felt.

When I think about the time we've lived with each other, I don't even feel like rebelling against treating you like a child.

Besides, it was like going from parent to child, and it didn't feel so bad.

The sense of loss that was there somewhere was such a relief that it could be buried.

So, at some point, I fell asleep.

Until the sound of the knock broke my sleep, I gave myself up to rest for a while.
