Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

"... wise man"

"Oh, it's rare to hear from Kaya."

I need to talk to you about something.

It already seems odd from this conversation, but Kaya was really the guy who would do anything himself, so it was very rare to say that he was going to talk to me out of awe like this.

"... it's about Shuma. Did you hear about that place?

………

"When I went to the sanctuary before, that kid was saying. He said he found a great place. She said she had left the sanctuary on her own and went to visit the coast, but at that time she found a very strange place."

"... it's my first ear. I've heard from Aeratia that she's out of the sanctuary every once in a while."

Well, the brave guy looked like he was thinking somewhere.

I didn't know what that meant. [M]

"To tell you the truth, I tried to go to that place once with Shuma, but strangely enough, when she went with me, she couldn't seem to go to that place."

…… That's... "

Stories that say that there is only a place for children will exist in any world.

That's also called a kind of “god concealment," but there's some kind of mechanism for god concealment in Mayday.

That is to say that children have lost their way into an ancient, remnant-exorcising space.

Space magic has existed for a long time and is now the typical magic of the Black Demon King, but once there were magicians who were just as good at building space. If they can't handle the space because of some kind of accident or failure, there will be a slight presence in the world called a forgotten magic guide space. But the space is in a certain state of suspension, and if it is normal, it will remain forgotten without being able to find it.

But a child with strong magic is sensitive to the existence of space. Because when you say child, you are innocent without knowing to doubt, and you are good at imagination regardless of common sense. You can easily embrace that space and imagine it again. And the entrance to the residual demon-guided space is often only for the size of the child.

"... In short, are you trying to say that Shuma is entering and exiting the Residual Demon Guided Space?

"I think so. I thought it might be a little..."

"Right. When I was a kid, I felt lost in the Residual Demon Guided Space a few times. I already have vague memories..."

Yes, it is.

Residual demon-guided spaces are very vague spaces, and distortions are created everywhere just without the Lord who made them.

So when you're in that space, you may even fluff your existence, and if you stay longer, you may not know your way home.

Because of this, we may be able to tell you that the child is gone and that it is hidden.

Kids get trapped in that space.

"That's certainly worrying. I'll tell Shuma next time...... Well, that place is probably the best playground I've ever had, if only I had my own consciousness."

"... Shuma said she saw you and the witch in that space."

…… What do you mean?

"............... Come on"

I just twisted my neck. Spatial magic is out of specialty in the first place, so I'm not sure......

In the residual demon-guided space of the past, I saw me and Aeratia... it's a strange story.

Kaya slipped her gaze slightly.

(Memory - 7)

About 2,000 years ago.

Vabilofos, a continent and sanctuary in the south

Yunosis: 200s ~

Let me tell you about my son, Shuma.

Born between me and Ayretia, my only son, Shuma, was a very awesome child in a way, like he inherited from me the color of his hair and the talent of witchcraft, the color of his adorable figure and eyes and the protection of the sanctuary from Ayretia. I was already a prodigy.

Parental idiot, that's not it, is it?

Either that or I'm a stupid parent.

We didn't have the magic in the Demon King class, it was about 8000 mg. But normally, that's a monster level magic number.

The air that seemed to float away somewhere had exactly the same mystery as the sanctuary, and that seemed strong enough for this child to grow up. Shuma was a smart, honest, and very sharp sensitive child, and even I was told rarely to be hazy.

I still remember this kid looking up at the big tree.

In Shuma's eyes, what was that broad tree umbrella like? How was the rubbing sound of the leaves heard?

I thought it was like a special child, blending into the air of the sanctuary.

But children are children.

Shuma was very curious and seemed more interested in the other side of the ocean than in the sanctuary. Seems like he used to get out of the sanctuary and go to the coast, and every time he does, he's pissed off at the eiratia. I've scolded you a few times, too.

He had an admiration for Kaya the Brave again, and as far as I'm concerned, he didn't seem to feel a bit Gerathy. Well, I wonder if it's the same thing that kids like about squad stuff and hero stuff, now. Yes, Kaya was a hero to Shuma.

Kaya also felt that she only cared for Shuma at the top of that pale Buddha.

That was a very smiling sight, but a little Geracie... No, no, because it's both like a son to me. Is it like my brother and brother......

Well, I'm back on the southern continent.

I was a little concerned about what Kaya said. If Shuma is playing in the Residual Demon Guided Space, he has to stop it before it becomes dangerous. She didn't tell me or my mother, Eiratia, about the space because she knew she was going to be angry. Was it like childish pride that I only told Kaya? Did you want to show Kaya your favorite place?

"Father!!

My dear Shuma feels safe in the voice calling herself.

Under the great trees of the sanctuary, as usual, Shuma and Eiratia welcomed me.

"Shuma, have you grown up again?

"Yes, just a little."

Shuma hugged me. This figure reminds me of a former eiratia.

"You were early this time, Eunosys"

"Oh. I'm just curious... and the braves don't need my strength so much anymore. I wonder if it's time to retire."

"What are you talking about? You haven't defeated the Demon King yet."

"... haha"

A diagram of a husband slapped in the ass by his wife and encouraged to work.

Shuma turned that little arm around my neck, and Couscous was laughing. I always loved the feeling of soft hair on my cheeks.

"That's right, Shuma. Shall we go to the sea with your father in a while?"

"Yes!!

Shuma jumps right off me, twitches that white robe, and walks out onto the forest trail. And you're happy to invite me. [M]

I said, "I'm coming," and I followed after Shuma.

"Hey Shuma. Has anything changed here lately?

"... right, um... my mother caught me at the roots of a tree and fell"

"haha...... sounds like a mother"

"And then I got the clergyman a book of history. It's the history of Luberchia."

"... more. Was it funny?"

"Yes, but I want to know more about other continents. Father... please take me sometime"

"... right. If a brave man defeats a demon king, he'll be at peace. Then Father will be back in the sanctuary, so it's better if Shuma goes on an adventure instead. You should let Kaya take you."

"Will Father not come with me?

"Ha... Shuma, when you're gone, I'll be alone with my mother. So if my father wasn't on my mother's side."

"Ah... right ah"

Shuma nodded cocklessly many times.

I looked down at my child like that, and I came up with an example topic.

"Shuma... you've been in and out of strange spaces lately."

………

I obviously stunned my shoulder. I won't lie to this kid.

As a pocan, he looked up to me.

"... did you know?

"Um, my father's a white sage, isn't he? There's nothing I don't know."

It's a lie. I asked the brave man.

And then I looked a little serious and gazed at Shuma.

"Shuma...... that space is very dangerous. I was wondering if you could tell my father where the entrance was."

"... what do you do?

"We're going to wipe that space out completely. It's a space that the old magician forgot to erase when he called it the Residual Demon Guided Space. It's a very dangerous space for the kids."

"... but inside that..."

Shuma gave me a slightly sad look as she shook her head in small pieces and still looked at me strongly.

"In that space, I saw my father and mother. It must be an important place for our family!! So... I can't believe I turned it off..."

"... shma"

It's a strange story. Me and Eiratia, we're in this sanctuary right now, and this kid says he saw us, even in the Residual Demon Guided Space.

Shuma blurted out crying about what was so sad and regrettable.

My child gripping her white sanctuary clothes all the time and crying out loud. Long time ago, I think I saw Shuma crying.

No matter how scolded she was, it was this kid who put up with crying.

"... shma..."

"That place is...... that place is not a dangerous place!! To me, to my father, to my mother... because she said," The Promised Place... "

……

"" Father "said!!

Once the wind blew hard, I flushed my and Shuma's hair in the same direction.

On a forest trail, stroking the back of a rarely crying shuma. I had no idea why. [M]

What the hell did Shuma see, who she met, and what she found out in that space?

"Even father, you can tell if you go!!

"Ok...... ok. Anyway, take my father to that place. Right?"

But again, as Kaya said, even if I wanted to go to the place, I couldn't find the space for an example.

If I even found it in a space distortion, I was going to make it disappear as soon as possible. Before that, I was also thinking of taking a little peek.

But no matter how many times I go near the entrance under Shuma's guidance, I can't find that space. Along the coast was just the sound of waves, silent.

Shuma kind of wanted me to see the place, and she looked disappointed.

That's why I promised Shuma. One day, I'll try to find you again. So you shouldn't be here alone until you come with me.

Shuma looked unhappy, but she seemed to convince me eventually.

"But trust me. That place is our family's sweet, promising place."

"Yeah...... I get it. Be sure to come back and find me.“ Promise. "

Shuma and I tightly connected our pinky fingers and promised.

That's a double promise.

The meaning of "Promised Place” for Shuma and “Promised Place” for me may have been different.

That's right.

Me and Aeratia don't know where the promise is.
