We were able to get out of the hospital after about half a day, and we were called by Mr. Leon, who was carrying us to the garden near the facility.
There were three people in the garden: Leon, Hilde, and Will, and Hilde, who noticed our visit, was getting up from his seat and trying to stay behind.
"Well, I'll do it now."
It's going to be a lot, but good luck.
Hilde is walking here in such a way as to ignore Mr. Leon's voice.
At the intersection, she stopped her legs and turned to me.
"Thanks to you, we have been able to minimize the harm done to the people living in the St. Real. If the monsters hadn't been gathered in one place, there would have been more damage.... I should say thank you in public... no, thank you anyway."
Aren't you familiar with it? I'll reply to her in a hurry with a word of gratitude.
"No, I just couldn't help it. I think it was not just me, but all the brave men who fought first."
"I did my best."
You should be more modest. No, you did your best.
A bitter smile on Rifa's face turns Hilde's expression into a slightly soft one.
"... I just had a little hope for your fate."
Huh?
"See you later."
After murmuring something profound, she left the scene.
With some anxiety, she came to see Leon and greeted us with a table and chair.
"Well, welcome. I've been waiting. Oh, did you decide to follow Chisato?"
"My name is Al now. Call me that if you want."
Leon looks at Al on Chisato's shoulder with interest.
Chisato opens his mouth, stroking Al's jaw on his shoulder with his fingers.
"I named this child Algentavis after Al with the desire to grow up with a hard will like a fossil."
"Eh, eh, why is that...? Is it the name of the god beast?"
"Birds. They're found in fossils."
"That's right....."
I didn't think you knew more about fossils than UMAs.
Until then, I don't have much knowledge, but I am impressed that you are honestly knowledgeable.
... I'm really glad it wasn't a chupacabra.
"And for now. Sit down, sit down!"
When you sit down, Mr. Leon offers you a herbal tea.
While realizing that Rifa's gaze had been locked into the confectionery, I talked to Will, who was sitting a little further away.
"Will, is your body okay?"
"Hmm? Oh, don't worry if you're fighting a god beast. Well, neither I nor he was willing to die.... how about you rather than me?"
"My injuries have already healed."
I can't see Will looking any different.
I'm glad I didn't get hurt in battle with the Beast.
"It would be better just to prevent the Beast from striking. That bird attack would have been a blow to kill you."
……
I was attacked by a god beast.
I am a little shocked by something that has never been possible before.
I don't think I'm remembering enough to assume that the Beast will respond unconditionally and favorably to me.
But it was really sudden... to be attacked without words...
"Yes, Kruclizer tried to kill you. It was an unchanging fact, but as far as he was concerned, he had no feelings of anger or hatred towards you."
Look at Mr. Leon, who broke into my conversation with Will.
"I don't even know what kind of emotions I was pointing at. However, it is in a sense correct to launch an unquestioned attack such as the Kroklyser against a pure demon like you."
"Correct...?"
"Talk to me and I'll know you. Perhaps the crucifier was trying to make sure he didn't know you as much as possible."
You're not going to understand this, and you're not interested?
I wonder if it is possible that they will attack us in the future...
"Well, about the possibility of being attacked, but I'm sure you'll be fine because you have a felt helmet on you. She has such strength among the beasts."
Oh, is that so?
Not surprisingly, I was simply surprised.
If Leon, the same god beast, were to say it, it would be true.
"Hahaha, because she preferred to travel to fight.... Now, let's talk about the captive Demon King Warlord."
"... yeah"
Leon's gaze is on the referee.
Maybe about Nia's treatment...
"The two commanders of Pregas and Carina, who were captured by the brave men, are to be punished. As far as carina is concerned, marina is my real name... but this has to do with the honor of your country and is supposed to be treated like carina."
"How long has Marina been in the Demon King Army?"
"It seems that the Brave Summoning Ceremony has been going on for some time now. This is a flaw in the technique that gives priority to educated people."
... did Leon know that Marina was an officer of the Demon King Army?
I stopped when I was about to ask such a question.
That would have been what you knew.
Maybe even this disturbance was on her hands, but it was just speculation.
"Your sister, there are special circumstances surrounding Nia that have led to a different punishment."
"Another punishment? Rather, special circumstances?"
If I come this far, there's no reason to hide it, so I'll tell you.
Leon points his index finger at Rifa as he leans his neck with his confectionery.
"You and Nia are human beings with the power of the Beast."
"Eh!?"
Chisato and I looked at the referee in amazement, and the person looked faint.
What is this guy's face that he's not thinking about anything...?!
"What god beast?"
"A god beast who lives in everlasting darkness. A lion who reigns in darkness and cold."
"That's why I'm in the shadows and my sister is cold."
That's what I'm talking about.
"... hmm"
……
……
"Wait, is that all?"
Mr Leon seemed to have been dazed by the vague reaction of Rifa.
"I had a hunch somehow.... maybe you're the one who pulled Kate and me together?"
For some reason, Rifa sharpens her eyes and makes them look amazing.
Mr. Leon shook his neck with a small smile.
"No, it was a real coincidence that you and Kate met. I guided him until he and Sif met, and then the encounter was definitely due to his actions."
"... yes, I'm relieved."
Reefer takes a breath of relief and cheeks of sweets again.
It's a shock, but what does it mean that only the person is not so surprised?
"Sister has sinned, so you can pay for it, and then you can drag it out in front of your mother to pay for your sins."
"Kate, is this kid a little different?"
"Always."
I put my hand to my mouth and smiled bitterly at Leon, who asked quietly.
It's a bit interesting to be treated like a god beast.
In the meantime, I understand the treatment of the Demon King army executives, so let's ask what we wanted to hear the most.
"About Sif and Al's brothers....."
"Oh, I know. I called you today because it's a big deal."
The brothers who were supposed to follow Sif.
It's too pathetic to wake up in a tiny jar like that.
I may be selfish, but if a creature has the same will as Sif or Al, I want it to live normally.
"Worst case, I'll take them all home."
Please don't do that. It's useless.
"It's through indifference that Tamer...! Everyone I know should be doing that...!"
"Hmm...."
"You're not the only one who knows Tamer."
"It's Tamer who shouldn't be the most helpful..."
Leon looks like he's pulling it off, and Shiff and Reefer bring in a comic strip.
Cohon, after coughing, she keeps talking to get her mind back.
"The children in the basement are all monsters I have created for your pure demon. Grants various attributes tied to the soul in the form of assistive magic. He has the ability to transform his body into weapons, clothes, etc."
"What are you trying to say?"
"It was just a monster for you."
Is it because physical strengthening only applies to pure demons like me?
Al didn't seem to have it either.
Then Mr. Leon's gaze will turn from me to Chisato and Al.
"That's why I thought of you."
"Me?"
"Al, who was supposed to have made it for you, waved it for you. It's very strange and wonderful. Al, it's a genuine choice that only the living can make."
……
Put your chin on Mr. Leon's hand.
"I'll tell you what I'm about to do. If you agree with that, let's do it tonight."
"... okay."
Tell us what Mr. Leon is trying to do when he nods.
Having heard the plan, I decided to carry it out after consulting with Shif and the others for a while.
