My sister-in-law has become a brave man.

Episode 73: "Descendants of the King of Disasters. 」

After breakfast, I sent Regluza to the King's Capital while everyone was cleaning up.

"Spatial Transfer (Teleport)"

Arrive in the entrance hall (entrance) of the 'Mercenary Guild' owned mansion in Wangdu.

I was just here once, so I looked around to make sure I wasn't wrong, and I heard the soft voice of the treble right next to me.

"From a good day in a long time. I finally met my daughter.

The purple blue beauty that suddenly appeared, the contents of which are the unfortunate thunderous superior spirit, Aida, smiles and puts up her tender hands as she finally says.

King's Capital today, the weather is raining!

It's something I haven't seen lately, so I was totally alarmed when I was like, "Whoa!" He raised an unintelligible voice and backed off to where Aida couldn't reach him.

"Regrouza, I'll be back in the evening!

I'm not hanging in there, and I just ran away with backup.

"[Spatial Transfer]"

Legruza, who was about to say something, and Aida, who smiled Ayashii at the floating away beauty, returned to Heavenly Sounds alone in the king's capital.

Applause in your heart when the surrounding landscape changes in an instant and you can afford the look of those who are preparing to leave for each as well as ahead.

Legruza, leave me. I'm sorry.

I'll pick you up in the evening, so let me drink [Dragon Blood].

And the weather in Wangdu!

It's clear in the evening. Come on!

Seriously, I prayed to no one.

When the third generation brave line and the 'Star Reading Witch' line are ready, set out.

I asked Adelaide to talk to me, and I asked her to take me to the "Star Reading Witch" carriage by herself without the "Protector".

I was relieved when I asked Adelaide, who prophesied in a bit strange way before breakfast, if she was feeling okay, because she couldn't accept that the power of futuristic vision worked suddenly and sometimes it just happened, and her health was fine.

I'm worried about the safety of the Third Empress, and it's a tough story to hold on to yourself all the time.

I started as soon as the carriage ran off and slept in Lausandola for three days because I was seeing Sarrell, and I told him the unexpected story I heard from a piece of God who looked like a black cat, all of it.

Adelaide interrupted the conversation when Sarrell's name came out, and when he took the soundproofed magic equipment out of his luggage so that there was no voice outside, he later listened with his mouth shut.

And when I finish the conversation.

"So, if the kingdom of Igzex does not summon you, you are from another realm..., no," God of Space "was supposed to return to this world with you, Rio.

But now neither Rio nor Amane can return freely to the original world, and the resurrection of the 'God of Space' requires Rio's death...

Oh, my God...!

Having understood the situation, Adelaide was a little troubled because she mourned me as much as the heroine of the tragedy.

"Adelaide's not bad, and you don't have to be that serious.

I don't like beauties crying, so I told them to get rid of it anyway, but they were counterproductive.

Something that wasn't just grief, the smeared eyes became more and more moist.

"No.

The family of "Star Reading Witches" have more sins than anyone in "God of Space," and now Master Rio and Amane, that must be atoned for.

Sin?

"I apologize for not revealing everything before when I told you about the myth," Adelaide said politely, not knowing why, and looked straight at me with a serious eye.

"Words you speak more than this can be found in the secrets of the 'Star Reading Witch' clan.

And a quiet voice tells the secret in a slow tone.

"It was for the sins committed by the kings of the ancient magic kingdom that the" God of time ", the half body of the" God of space ", was summoned to this world and devoured by the" God of Darkness "to become the" Demon King ".

That was still when there was only one continent in this world.

While watched by the 'Dark God', man nurtured a culture based on magic in the North and lived with the best wizards as kings.

In that ancient world, the rituals performed by several generations of kings of the Magic Kingdom were the beginning of a disaster.

At one point, a diseased king who lost his beloved queen performed a ritual of resurrection of the dead, sacrificing a second princess very similar to the queen.

Naturally, that ritual fails.

The second princess, who was sacrificed, lost her life, but that was not all she could do.

For the second princess was the beloved daughter of The Dark God.

The king went the ritual during the day when the 'Dark God' rested, but there is no way that God would not notice the death of his beloved daughter.

"The Dark God" awoke at midday and went wild in rage at its tragic death.

The rampage of God eventually puts a crack in the world, creating a door that leads to another world in the northern lands.

(It is presumed that the reason why the door that leads to the other world was opened was the kind of magic formations used in the ritual of resurrection of the dead carried out by the king to work on the existence of the other world, and that their magic formations, influenced by the power of the 'Dark God' up close, became doors to the other world.

Did "The Dark God" get angry that he couldn't be as rampaged as he thought in the light-filled daylight world, summoning the gods of the other worlds for further power?

That's how it emerged from the door was the newborn God of Time.

The angry 'Dark God' eats and fuses the 'God of Time', a more powerful being than himself.

Become the "demon king" who destroys the world.

Open your mouth with Pakan, what the hell, and leave me alone thinking, "Star Reading Witch" tells the next secret.

"It was the First Princess who became the ancestor of The Star Reading Witch.

It was the prince who became her 'protector'.

They were the sons of kings who brought to the world the scourge of the "demon king," the real brother and sister of the second princess loved so much that her death drove the 'Dark God' mad.

The youngest son of three brothers and sisters, born in the royal family, was killed by his father, who lost his life in the runoff of the first 'Dark God', but the two above barely survived and fled south with the people of the kingdom.

On the way out that way, I encountered the 'goddess of harmony' of some sort.

The prince and the first princess tell the goddess what happened, regret that she could not stop her heartbroken father from oblivion, that she could not protect her last sister, and hope to be excused.

"The Goddess of Harmony" responded to that desire.

As atonement for their sins, they forbade the two of them to choose death out of guilt and so on, and gave them a role and power.

My sister's first princess has the role of "doing everything the world can to take a good path" and the power to "see the world" (including futuristic vision and the power to know the past?).

To his brother's prince, he opens his heart to his sister and becomes half immortal, his role and strength as a "protector" to protect her.

And until this calamity caused by their father subsided, he told them that the power of the 'Star Reading Witch' would be passed on to the princess's sons and grandchildren, and that the 'Goddess of Harmony' had left.

The prince, who became the 'protector', is flirted with by the power to see the suddenly gained future, protecting his confused sister's princess and fleeing south again.

But...

"We talked about how the first generation of 'protectors' didn't even fall down after being decapitated, but walked flat to the rolling head and picked it up, and it was at this time that we were able to talk about it.

The prince's neck was slashed by humans who had fled south with him.

They didn't understand what they called the "demon king," but it was known that it was the man who was the king of time who created that disaster, so they hit his son, the prince and princess, with anger.

but the prince, who is half immortal, does not die, and the blade does not rest on the princess he protects.

People called the prince, who had picked up his decapitated neck with his own hands, "The devil!," fears the princess, who predicts and warns of the arrival of demons and warcraft, "Aren't you calling?" Suspecting and loathing, he drove them both off into the wilderness.

I guess I couldn't afford to think about the role and power given to princes and princesses by the 'Statue of Harmony' to humans who had lost their birthplace and continued to flee the unfamiliar lands while being attacked by demons and warcraft.

However, some admired their brothers and sisters, survivors of the royal family, and the two, who traveled with their help, drifted to the land that later became the Van Grey Empire, where they were embraced by the ancient dragons to witness the birth of the beginning dragon man and help shadow the founding of the empire.

(The ancient dragon once lived with the 'goddess of harmony', thus welcoming me favourably about my brothers and sisters who were given roles and powers by the goddess.

And then there was the magic kingdom in the land of the north as thousands of years passed by, and that the king had created a calamity called the "demon king," and that the king's son had been given a role and power by the "goddess of harmony".

It disappeared from the memories of people who lived only to the fullest extent of their present life, making it a distant past that had only ever been forgotten.

Now it is with very few beastmen and ancient dragons who know it.

Only the 'Star Reading Witch' clan who communicates a series of events to their descendants and continues to bear their sins as descendants of the King of Disaster.

Why "Demon King" was born and the beginning of "Star Reading Witch".

When he finishes telling two stories about being a secret of the clan, Adelaide closes her lips with a slightly bloody blue-white face and waits for my reaction.

No, I don't care if you wait with such a serious face.

I have no idea what kind of comment to make.

So I sighed and said as I thought.

"For now, 'The Dark God' is too pretty. Or too rampant.

I know it's natural to be angry that someone you like is killed, but after the person you killed dies, why don't you just kill them all the way to irrelevant people and break them and stop?

How far do you think I'm gonna go?

For God's sake, if your lover dies, the world will end, an extreme thought pattern like that?

I want you to scream and beat the crap out of others and bury them.

And that's because it's my own idea. Adelaide, don't worry about trying to answer.

Besides "The Dark God" in the first place, it's not like I know the answer.

I'm just crushing what I thought, so will you just keep asking?

... Mm, thanks. Okay, go on.

Set aside about 'The Dark God'. The words of Adelaide's father, who said the power of "Star Reading Witch" was "like a curse," I was amazingly convinced to hear it now.

I also thought I had to carry the sin of what happened thousands of years ago and still look at the future to make sure the world "walks the good road" to atone for it, and that's a curse.

Adelaide seems to accept that role and bearing the sins of her ancestors, but what about being made to struggle tremendously even though it's not my fault?

Ah. I asked a question while I said twinkle.

Shit, I thought, but I wanted to hear Adelaide's thoughts, so I'll wait for a response.

Adelaide looked a little surprised by my question, but answered with a strange smile.

"I am happy.

Yes, thanks for the unexpected response.

... So, what does that mean?

"In countless lives, I was born into the genealogy of The Witch of Star Reading, loved by my parents, and blessed with a position to inherit the memory of an ancient city and its power to atone for its sins.

Responsibilities can be heavy and sometimes difficult.

But I think it's very happy to be given the role to play and the power to make it happen, and to be aware of what I need to do.

Besides, I'm not alone. Mother, let my grandmother lead me to a future in which the experience, wisdom and desire of the mothers before her are in me and to which I should aspire.

Now Bardeaux will stay with me as a 'protector'.

"... you don't think it's unreasonable?

If asked unhappy with the answer too honorable, he deepened his strange smile, which included lightheadedness and numbness, Adelaide said in a quiet voice.

"Rio, you feel" unreasonable "about the situation in which you were placed.

Much more bored by that word, which is not an inquiry.

Switching consciousness, I guess, is faster.

Because there are so many different mountains, big and small, that are unreasonable, and I can't stay caught up in it one way or another, most things go too far without paying attention.

But.

If I die and the 'God of Space' doesn't wake up, there's no way to cross the world, and I can't go home with Heavenly Sound.

"... I realize that there are things that can't be broken right away.

I spilled it unexpectedly, but to Adelaide, who nodded silently as she nodded ahead, I closed my mouth and swept my neck aside.

You can always be depressed, and I'll be all alone then.

Now more than that, I want to check with The Star Reading Witch.

So tell me, Witch Sense.

Switch consciousness, change topic.

Thank you for telling me the story about being the secret of "Star Reading Witch," promising not to fall apart to anyone else, then confirmation and questions about "The Dark Goddess Son" first.

"The Third Empress of the Van Grey Empire, Sissy Lean, is The Dark Divine Son, right?

"Yes. It's a secret that only Emperor Van Grey and the Senate, the ancient dragons, know.

I don't know to what extent the commander-in-chief of The Black Tower knows about The Dark Divine Son. He may have taken His Royal Highness, not as a "Dark Divine Son," but just as a "dragon man of the pure attributes of darkness".

Her Royal Highness herself, right after her birth, has been sealed in strength and spirit by her father, the present Emperor, and is still here in a deep sleep.

"My father sealed my strength and my spirit, why?

"The Spirit of Darkness does not respond to anyone's call, so if Her Royal Highness is given a seizure of Spirit Syndrome, it cannot be contained. So it seems that His Majesty the Emperor decided to keep his strength and spirit sealed and put him to sleep so that he would not have the seizure itself and wait for his body to grow.

However, because this means is too burdensome on the side to seal, the emperor has to take longer dormancies than usual, and it seems that he still maintains the empress's seal while sleeping to recover.

But that's not all bad, it's like the emperor and the empress are bound by invisible threads through a seal, so if the emperor wakes up, he can almost certainly identify the position of the empress, it should be.

So far it is impossible to look from this line because there are no signs that the emperor will wake up and cannot be woken to mullies.

"Then what about Adelaide's vision of the future, or fortune?

"I'm sorry. Wherever you are and the future, every time you divine, every time you see it, you refer to different places, people and things, so you don't know exactly where Her Royal Highness is coming.

Now, perhaps, somewhere in the Basque Torv Federation...

But I can assure you that's all.

Your Royal Highness, you're safe. Probably until spring, for sure.

It's almost winter fall now, so there's still going to be time.

"I can assure you, there's a reason, isn't there?

"Yes. The reason is the existence of a guardian.

Her Royal Highness is protected by a black beast.

That being said, Adelaide taught me one prophecy, given to me a while back by The Goddess of Harmony.

"The black beast will touch his son to know his roots, and will break the chain of bondage.

Loved by the world, your son does not yet know the world, and sleeps in the arms of the beast.

Decrypt the prophecy with the information I heard.

The Wolf Beast Man, the Wesen, awoke to the power of “darkness” within herself by touching the Third Empress, the "Dark Divine Son".

And broke the chain of restraint (perhaps a form of magic) placed on the commander-in-chief of the 'Black Tower' and disappeared with the Empress.

He has since stayed in one place, hiding himself from the Empire and from the 'Black Tower' as he rolls around, somehow protecting the princess who keeps sleeping all the time.

I know a lot of detail, and I'm impressed by the response that I think it's because the 'goddess of harmony' is watching over the end of this world and the 'dark godson' deeply involved.

Because I see many futures that are likely to happen to her because of it, Adelaide is often unable to determine which futuristic view becomes a reality, which seems confusing.

"Well, for now, it's good to know that the Empress is protected by the 'Wesen' and safe so far. I was worried about Sarrell.

... but that? Adelaide, you told Eyre before to get the Empress back fast, didn't you? Could 'Wesen' Toko be less safe?

"I'm fine now. But there is something in the future that can be seen, especially if they keep running away by themselves. That's how I feel..."

I say it with a serious face, so I asked what that futuristic view was all about.

Probably spring or early summer.

I wake up to the princess being attacked by someone and sing a song that instinctively calls the Spirit to protect herself.

The Spirit should respond to it, but at the same time the emperor, who felt the awakening of the Empress and the danger looming upon him, awakens from his sleep and goes to help his daughter.

Since the current emperor can transform into a giant, strong dragon body without the ancient dragon (only possible for a mature dragon man with a "first source fire”), those who attacked the empress are, on the contrary, attacked by a giant dragon.

I've never heard of dragon men being able to transform into dragons, but the more problematic thing about that is where the emperor appears with his big dragon body.

Thank you. It seems likely that the Empress will be attacked in the Kingdom of Iguzekus or throughout the city of the Principality of Surrell Ode, where the Emperor will appear to try to protect his daughter, no matter what his position, when it comes to "humans being injured or killed".

The emperor of the Van Grey Empire suddenly attacked the land of man and the victim came out, it turns out.

There may be the first war in this world, between the "Land of the Dragon Man and the Beast Man" and the "Land of Man".

Uh...

Dr. Witch.

That's true, it sucks.
