We succeeded in defeating Deus.
Moving from completely unconscious to another hall, Io and I were listening to Mao, the girl who had brought her here.
"Mao-chan, right? My mom and dad....."
I'll ask Mr. Io about the situation, which would be more familiar than me.
Then, Mao shook her gaze from right to left, slowly exhaling her words.
"... not here"
I didn't know you weren't here.
"You're dead. When I was six."
……
……
Io looks to me for help.
But there's nothing I can do about it...!
"Do you understand me?"
"... I understand, but alone"
I don't know how to answer that question, Mr. Io.
Does anyone else want to be a guardian?
This is a base of the Demon King Army, so we can't be stepping on it.
Well, what do you want to do?
"I don't know what to do...."
Mao grips Io's hand with her left hand.
Afterwards, I grabbed my hand with my right hand, dyed my cheeks and looked somewhat happy.
♪
Having seen such an expression in close proximity, I turned my face to Io as I fell into the illusion that my sweat would flow loosely - but on the other hand, she had the same face as me.
"I don't know what to do...!"
"What should I do...!"
If Chisato sees this situation, the answer in another dimension will come back.
From time to time, she acts from a different dimension from ours...
Mao, we're not your parents.
"I know."
"... you know what?"
"Yeah."
... I don't know what's going on anymore.
What, is this kid brainwashed?
"How did you know about me?"
……
"Can't answer?"
I nodded.
I can't force you to ask, and I can't leave this kid alone.
Io-san. There may be others imprisoned like this one. If we're going to retreat, we should go and help them. "
"I agree. Maybe the Demon King Army was trying to grab the kid and do something."
"... to grab people?"
A fellow of ours who was imprisoned by the Devil's Army.
She came to help me when she was trapped, but then she disappeared.
I've always wondered about her...
"... it was the same magic of earth as Mr. Iris..."
And that amazing voice of Nia.
Given her attitude and surprise towards Iris, I didn't want to doubt her, but she seemed suspicious.
Maybe she's right in front of us...
"Get out of the way!"
"Mmm!!"
!?
The two walls of the hall are destroyed simultaneously without warning.
Watch out for limes that instantly change into patterns, and you'll see two recognizable silhouettes in the smoke.
"Phew! As long as the walls are broken and moved!"
"Mm-hmm. The walls are easier to break down."
Yeah?
Nia and Rifa's black and white sisters, each coming out of the opposite wall, face to face.
It looks like Chisato and Sarah are coming from behind, so it looks like we have a rendezvous.
"Ah, Kite-kun. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?"
"Chisato!?"
Chisato, who found us, rushes towards us, but is blown away by an invisible shock.
What is it? Hostile attack!?
"Ah, ahhhh, wow!?"
"Chisato, who said he couldn't move just now, blew up with a great sound effect!?"
"What are you doing...?"
"Nia, Al, what happened that I was afraid of...!?"
Her gaze was toward Mao, who was holding hands with Io.
Not only Chisato, but also the Reefers, were surprised at the subtle similarity of their hair colors.
"Io"
"Yes, yes."
Chisato, who came in front of Io with his real face, talked in a very upset state.
"When to prepare - mugh!?"
"Chisato, as a homosexual, you should really stop saying that...! No, it's really too bad...!"
Chisato, aren't you trying to say something terrible to Io right now?
I shouldn't pursue it because I shouldn't touch it very much, but it would be better not to look at Mr. Io's face now.
With Chisato's mouth shut, Nia turned to us with a gentle face.
"So, where did she pick it up?"
"I was fighting Death earlier, but I ran into him before he blew me up."
Dad, who is this guy?
"Wait a minute, everybody, stay with me!!!"
Quickly stop the people who are misunderstood and distanced in an instant.
No, listen to me! Well, let's just keep it that way, first of all...!
Explain to Rifa and Nia, who are curious, Chisato, and Sara, who has always been Niconico's face, why I and Io are called like my parents.
"... well, it's like this."
"What do you mean...?"
Well, that's how you look...
We don't know much about the situation either.
Then Rifa, who came in front of Mao, crouched down to look at her.
"I'm Mom. You can call me that."
"... Pochi?"
"What is it?"
Why is this kid so funny?
Nia laughed at the child's opponent as she came to the referee.
"Pufu, Rifa is a pochi. Well, black? It's a dog, isn't it?"
"Nia, you're a shiro."
"What is it?... did you tell me your name? I don't know, the unknown anger that springs up from the depths of my heart... this feeling that even though I'm dealing with a child..."
Strangely tilted her neck after she turned to face.
It may be that knowing Nia, who was a Demon King Army executive, has been around since she was in the Demon King Army.
You don't have any parents, and you're the only one who got captured by the Devil's Army?
"Ahh, what a cute kid! Don't be my sister!?"
Oneechan
Got it!
Wow, the tempo is fast, Mr Sarah.
Someday I'm taking Mao as my sister, but what's going on?
Suddenly, the door of the hall where we are now opens by ourselves, smiling bitterly at Sarah, who is holding Mao and raising tension.
"" "Nh!" "
Everyone moves into a state of emergency in an instant, but no one comes through the door.
... is this an invitation...?
As we recognize that, the holes that Rifa and Nia have opened and the doors that we have entered will be buried in the soil.
"... I wanted to get this kid somewhere safe."
"I don't think that's possible in this situation."
If you try to force yourself out, you are likely to be trapped in a labyrinth of dirt like the first time.
We have to give up here and take Mao with us.
"Mao, I'm going to keep going, are you okay?"
It's okay, Mom.
"Mom, please stop right now....."
Gathering the gaze of Sara Nico's face and Chisato's face, Io twitched her cheeks.
I have to keep this kid safe so I can have him corrected as much as I want later.
"It goes underground."
"Nothing will start without moving on. If you're dealing with the Devil, you need to go first."
Everyone goes down the lighted stairs.
Not so long a staircase. Soon we'll be in a bigger space than the hall we were in the basement.
Behind the ruins of Bern, somewhat similar to the ruins, you will find a woman sitting honorably on a lofty throne and a blonde woman standing next to her - an elf.
"...!!?"
When I see a woman, I look with dismay and stop. [M]
"England!? Why are you there!?"
"Lord Iris!?"
"I knew it was you..."
Reefers look amazed.
I'm surprised, too.
I was surprised to see a woman with more grey hair than that. [M]
"Fufufu, welcome. Brave man."
A beautiful woman with long hair.
I've never seen him in my life.
However, the atmosphere surrounding me was quite familiar to me.
"I am the devil..."
"Melia?"
……
Melia stunned at my voice.
Feeling the gaze of her companions, she slightly stepped forward and checked her figure carefully.
"I knew it was Melia. What are you doing here?"
After a moment of silence, the demon king, dressed in his own clothes, throws a voice at me with a slightly convulsive sneer.
"... yes, I don't know who you're talking about?"
I can't be wrong about you.
"I am the Devil."
I know the signs and atmosphere because I am the most involved god beast in a short time.
So there must be no mistake in my feelings. [M]
"I don't look the same, but I can tell by your vibe."
"... ku, uu... ah, uu... ~ ~ ~!"
Melia, who was about to be named the Demon King, pressed her face with both hands, and she sat in the chair and slapped her feet.
The neighbor, Iris, is looking at me and Melia alternately in a great hurry.
"Kate, how do you know?"
"Eh, no, somehow...."
"Ah, I see...."
While listening to the voice of Sif who could give up and be surprised, I somehow bowed my head to Meria, who was on the throne of the Demon King.
