Monster no Goshujin-sama

14. The day the Demon King was born

Fourteen.

That's a memory of when the boy was helpless and weak.

A demon king is born, exactly that day.

In the dark woods, the boy was suddenly self-defeated.

In front of me, one girl was rolling.

She was badly scratched.

Especially the side wounds were fatal and had zero guts.

The blood was so dry and discolored that it could not be applied by hand.

No. Even if it wasn't, there wouldn't have been anything the boy could have done.

There's nothing he can do.

I couldn't.

But the girl was different.

With such a state of imminent death, she moved so far into the woods that she threw herself into battle.

And finally, I did my best.

As a result, the boy survived and the girl's life was about to be exhausted.

The surviving boy will die not far away.

Because he, trampled, has no will left to live.

The girl's death makes no sense.

That was the best part, it was hard on the boy.

"Why, I..."

That's when the girl groaned.

It must be painful.

I guess it's sad.

I guess I hate it.

The words of the curse spilled out of his mouth.

"Destroy this world."

……

The girl cursed the world and the boy heard it.

It's about the day the demon king was born.

The encounter between a boy and a girl goes further back in time.

I'm sure for the girl, it was a daily act of nothing.

But for the boy, it was a fate-altered encounter.

"What are you doing?

When his soft impression voice shook his earlobes, Kudo Lu thought he was dreaming.

The taste of soil in the mouth.

For tired and shriveled hands and feet, bruising pain.

It had been a long time since the transfer of different worlds, and the construction of the colony was progressing.

Even though it is in a state of emergency pulled away from the familiar world - no, rather, it is only if it is so that those who hit the weak with their depression and anxiety appear.

Bad news is, one of those groups had Kudo Lu in sight.

The unfortunate thing was that one of the expedition's warriors was included.

I am sure that many members of the expedition had a strong sense of justice, but some did not.

For those, the only thing to be aware of when hitting the weak with depression is being known to fellow explorers.

It's hard to be cautious, even if something happens to those who have no power whatsoever.

The shady things that can often happen in a closed space called school, including the peculiarities of this anomaly, were hunting down the boy.

The world was starving in darkness.

He had given up.

There was no resistance, nor did I expect salvation.

Miserable, bitter, crawling days on the ground.

There, the girl appeared as if it were a miracle.

"I ask you again, what are you doing?

The girl, who looked older than the boy, stood with a fluffy grin.

The girls looked like they were talking to each other about where the sweets were delicious or something.

But if what was before it was a group of five who intimidated one, the unchanging gentle grin also seemed unusual.

"Hey, nothing."

The only member of the expedition who was on the spot replied in a trembling tone.

I was upset because, for one thing, I found myself avoiding people well.

The other was because he knew exactly who the girl in front of him was.

"Really? Well, that's okay."

The girl let her neck tilt loosely.

The hand stroked the head of the dog sitting beside him.

Only the shape resembles Shepherd, but at one glance it turns out that he is not an ordinary creature.

Because his whole body consisted of a black substance like the one that cemented the darkness.

When the beast roared small, all but the girl on the spot were frightened.

That, the boy, was no exception.

Damn, there's nothing I can do about it, he was weak then.

Even people who try to help themselves are so frightened.

"I'm sorry, I have business with him."

The girl said without looking like she had noticed.

"So I was wondering if you guys could go?

Of course, it was only convenient to have something to do, etc.

But she had the power to put it through.

When the group escaped, only the two of them were left there.

……

The boy who was helped was often grumpy.

The girl quickly drove away those who had vanquished herself until earlier.

The standing behavior was too refreshing.

I don't know. It's so unrealistic.

The boy was blinded by the girl, as she stared at the fascinating characters that emerged in her dreams.

"... ah"

I had plenty of ten seconds to do that, and the boy returned it to me.

The soil in her mouth interrupted her as she hurried to stand up and thank her for her help.

I coughed up my cheeks.

So I almost missed hearing it.

"... crap"

Too cold a voice.

It was as if it had been a fluffy atmosphere and other lies until earlier.

I thought I heard it wrong and looked up, and there was an emotionless side there.

Was it a manifestation of anger and disgust towards the fool who wields violence against the weak?

The boy doesn't know.

The only certainty, however, is that the gaze directed at me as it flowed was also cold.

I managed to open my mouth after being victorious again.

"Oh, um... seniors. Thank you..."

"You don't need to thank me. I just took your place."

When I said Yu, my expression loosened up all the time.

Then the girl returned to her original fluffy atmosphere.

The boy didn't know who that was about, but he must be someone important.

He was relieved and bowed his head.

"Still, because I was helped. Thank you. You're strong."

"Really?

The girl tilted her neck, rather staring back at the boy as she shivered.

"Well, you're weak."

Whether natural or told in a soft tone, the dialogue was a direct ball in addition to thoughts.

But I wasn't angry.

Sometimes there was no malice in the girl's tone, but the fact is, the boy was weak.

I gave up that there was nothing I could do about it.

I didn't think I was worth it to myself like that.

He pointed it out, and now he couldn't possibly feel remorse or misery.

But that's what the girl said to him.

"But is that okay?

"... Huh?

"Can I stay weak?

If you try it on her, it's casual.

One word that might change the boy's future.

This was the meeting between you two.

For a girl, it would have been an unprecedented event.

But not for the boy.

Helped.

I fell in love.

Asked.

That's all I'm talking about if I tell you, but that was too much.

When I realized it, I was starting to look for her with my eyes when I saw her from time to time.

I greeted him when I looked at him.

For once, I had my face remembered.

There was also a slight interaction.

Of course, if you tried to make her two names on the expedition, he would have been only one of many others.

But I'm glad.

Nothing, because I didn't want to get along specifically with the girl.

The girl was a benefactor.

And he was an admirer.

The girl was really strong.

It was only if I thought I was worthless of myself that I thought the girl's worth was real.

Strongly admired.

That sentiment, oddly enough, was to change the fate of the day the colony collapsed.

"Ha... ha..."

That day, without any idea, Kudo Lu was fleeing a collapsing colony.

Almost screamed and a magical blast of flames blew on his cheeks.

The colony we all built breaks down.

The worst cycle in which violence generates panic and panic generates violence again sets the stage for nothing.

The perimeter was supposed to be safe, but I even heard the monster roar.

It's just that Kudo Lu kept running desperately.

When he realized, he wandered through the deep woods.

The only thing I didn't have to die for was luck.

Nevertheless, it was the boy himself who seized the good fortune.

For him at the time, the event of an overly tragic colony collapse was not strange to break his heart.

If you gave up on keeping running, you would never have been able to survive.

But it didn't.

Because I had something to remember.

- But is that okay?

- Do you mind if I stay weak?

Yes. Every time I was questioned by my past girlfriend, I ate my teeth.

A human walking in the sea of trees with no power whatsoever is an experience of horror that is hard to exhaust to the brush tongue.

You can't get anywhere without walking.

But I don't know when I'll run into a monster if I walk.

That's similar to keeping one bullet-filled pistol pulling the trigger toward your head.

Even in the dark woods at noon, it appears that monsters lurk in every spot in sight.

And when you actually encounter it, it's over.

Kill him unharmed.

All the while you're walking, there's a glimpse of yourself rolling around as a corpse in your brain.

This fear is something like someone with a strong mental capacity or an optimist with no imagination in the first place.

Kudo Lu was neither of them.

He didn't even know how he could work hard.

Maybe he wanted to get one step closer to admiring it.

Maybe he still had other feelings for himself that he wasn't aware of.

I can't even afford to be scrutinizing my emotions.

I was just desperate.

Almost there.

Just a little more.

That's how the sun went down, and the next morning came.

The boy was alive.

I wasn't hurt a lot either, so I earned a lot of distance.

I didn't run into a monster.

However, it did not reach the public either.

It's not far as it is, it will drown wild.

I had a feeling so.

I couldn't help but be horrified.

But at the same time there was some satisfaction.

I'm just being abused.

worthless self.

But I didn't give up and I got away with it.

Even if it didn't mean anything, I was changed to hang up on that word the girl gave me.

Just a little bit, the boy felt like he was worth it too.

Even if he just did his best here, he could have died somewhere satisfied.

Or, if we had reached people like this, there might have been a story spinning with hope.

But it didn't.

Kudo Lu had no luck.

"I can't believe I'm meeting you here."

"Ahhh... ahh..."

What I encountered was neither a monster nor a local person.

Those who abused themselves.

The boy's body, who had managed to walk through this far, was pulled down to the ground.

There was no way I could resist.

And then, nothing changed.

No. It was worse.

Having experienced a colony collapse, their hoops surrounding the boy were off.

Especially Warrior, an expedition that was alone, was terrible.

Though he had the temperament to abuse the weak, he was not always off as much as he preferred murder.

But no, the clothes were dirty with the blood of others, and the eyes that had lost their reason just wanted instant pleasure and violence.

No matter how powerful he was, after all, he was helplessly weak.

But these people make everything go away.

The hope that was sprouting on the boy's chest was crushed unbroken.

I got stuck in the back of my shoe.

I thought it had changed.

But I couldn't.

Going forward, he will never hope again.

……

Kudo Lu, who was assaulted, was struck down like a borough rag.

Fatal injuries had been avoided just to prolong the fun.

Nevertheless, if violence continued for a few more minutes, it was visible that he would die.

Consciousness was hazy, as was spiritual death.

……

So what happened is vague.

I heard the dog squeal.

I think I heard the howl too.

Blood overflowed, screams sounded, and violence rushed through.

I realized it was only after it was all over.

There were five men who were hurting the boy, but all of them had become mutilated corpses devoured and scattered by the beast.

And whoever accomplished it was lying with a bug breath.

The presence of intense longing had fallen on blood and mud, causing the organs to spill.

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

It was something that should not have happened.

The longing fell to the ground, and the hope was unbroken.

Anything of value was trampled on.

The boy's scream shook the woods.

"That's when the king quantified her body"

Berta said in a suppressed voice, not to sound like an expedition member hurrying around.

"The injury had passed since I took it. I guess I bore it when the colony collapsed and ran away from the bad guy while weighing in. There is only one information of vengeance. Some of the belongings were cut in an unusually smooth cross section. It was due to the wounds she was suffering and the same attack"

"Then Kudo..."

"Oh."

Berta nods.

"The king is still looking for his vengeance."
