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

Thor had eyes 2,000 years old, full of the same strong determination as the Black Demon King.

I liked him very much, just like him.

I guess Tor still has to have some purpose and something to protect.

"I guess you're destined to protect the weak."

"... what are you talking about. This is like work, and it's not like there's such a big belief."

"... Huh?

The words I smugly said were utterly denied.

"For me, the only thing that matters is... it's you, Machia"

…………

Something tells me this.

No shyness.

I'd rather be ashamed of myself, laying my eyes down.

"It's a job (business) to give land to the Demons. One day, when the world settles down, you can give this place some land and move it there. Until then, it's an obligation, an investment. It's a good thing you sold your favors to the country, right?

………

"... but there are not many queens in Ishmore who surrounded the Black Demon King this time. I don't need it anymore."

………

"I'm always your only knight. These days, I'm determined to be.... you're at the top of something important."

"... but that's good enough!!

I turned my back on him, walking along the snow trail for some reason early.

That's crazy. That's not the Tor I know.

No, but once the Black Demon King, I do feel like he was a kizza somewhere. Something trivially compliments my clothes, or tells me I like the color of my hair. Quite a gigolo now I think!! I wasn't easily distracted by that!!

I'm back... Yep, that's all I can think of.

Um, Helena betrayed me, and Tor, who was so disgusted by her love, was dead... and revived that straightness when she was the Black Demon King.

On Earth, I saw the “permeation” and I thought I could do this again as a friend.

Because even if I gave up on him so much, he wasn't already willing to fall in love, and his attitude toward me was something easy.

Even after I was reincarnated into Mayday, I was told that it had been a lot of fun before, while continuing our relationship back on Earth.

Tell me what to do!!

I don't know how to react to what they said!!

"Oh, hey... makia..."

"Hey, what!!

When I was panicking and overreacting with tears, a fuzzy nostalgic view jumped in.

………

Here, on a slightly higher hill.

There was a demonic settlement, an open place with a good view of that square.

Two thousand years ago, I visited Ismore because I asked a traveler to tell me about the existence of the Black Demon King and I thought he was someone who would understand me. At that time, this was where I first met the Black Demon King.

That time, the shock of the first time I saw him, the high sounds of magic that echo, I still remember.

………

Huh, the Black Demon King looked back, that moment went through my brain.

The joy of meeting a being close to me and the anxiety of not knowing if you could accept me...... and most importantly, I was just embarrassed to be a girl, and I forgot for a moment what the cold was, and I ran away.

But the Black Demon King came after me and said this with a sharp gaze.

"You told me to go home..."

………

"Well, it's a trespass, naturally."

"But you protected the Demons and left with a great deal of injuries. I remember you too..."

"... I didn't expect you to come to the western continent after that. I never thought I'd go to Ishmore again."

………

"But you were happy then...... Few people asked me about the Red Witch, and I thought you came all the way here..."

The Black Demon King told me to come back to Eyesmore.

I was informed of his real name, which says Torque Seidelmundo, and told to come and tell me the magic figures I saw.

It was then. The moment I started staring at Torque... the Black Demon King.

I looked around a lot of places.

Me and the Black Demon King fought, a lot of places. It could be a frozen fountain or a forest lined with elongated, leafless trees.

The definite places of memories where we both fought but talked about various things and deepened our understanding of each other. A nostalgic silhouette of red and black.

But one day, next to the Black Demon King, there was another woman.

These are his many queens, who welcomed him to Ishmore.

Sometimes I find myself in a rapport between the Black Demon King and his queens, and I remember nothing but vain thoughts than jealousy.

Even though I felt my expectations were faint, I also knew that it was very unlikely that I would be able to expect it.

Ishmore also has so many bitter memories.

I'm sure if you came here again and again, it must be because you fought. There was hardly a place I'd ever been.

We turned our legs to each other, to the same place.

It's the last snowfield.

An open snowfield, chosen by the Black Demon King for his final showdown with the Brave. And that's also where the Black Demon King died.

It was just the same, at dawn time.

………

What a sad thing to feel.

It's been 2,000 years since then, and Thor's magic can create the same world as it was then.

"No... Ishmore had a lot of fun... but it's just so sad to be on the table."

"............ makia"

"You died here."

I slowly walked to the middle of this uncharacteristic snowfield and sat around what I thought was where the Black Demon King died.

It's just bright white snow, but at that time, this place was stained with a lot of red.

The Black Demon King was down. Just before death, with those hopeless eyes.

It was pathetic and I couldn't help it, but there was nothing I could do, I just had to wait for him to die.

"………………"

I was hurting my chest, holding my chest down and eating up my teeth at the long thoughts that were coming in.

Thor hugs me like that out of my back.

Soon, you'll be taller and you'll feel better... how dare I hide completely in your arms, Thor.

"Hey Tor. Why... did we have to die like that?"

"... don't remind me, Machia. That was in the past."

"But... but we were there!! The Red Witch, the Black Demon King, the White Wise... didn't just live so hard. How much the world hated me and thought I was heretical, I still didn't give up my life that was too long. We lived so long... we weren't even allowed to grow old."

You lived so long, you're not allowed to grow old.

I especially am. I never got old, even 2000 years ago, as I looked like I was 16 or 17 years old, and I died on Earth at 16.

Before that, you don't know who you are.

Tor held me tight and held my hand from the top holding my chest down so I could cover myself.

I feel safe and uncut at the same time, and I can't help myself again.

"... what are you afraid of... makia"

"... I'm scared of everything. 'Cause right now, I'm the right girl for the year, but I'm sure in a few more years... No, in about a year, I'm not going to get old. Then... then I'll be a“ Red Witch ”again..."

………

"Thor... you are amazing. It's like I made another decision to become the Black Demon King. Ulysses... even the White Sage. Without being swallowed up in the past, I still didn't escape from the past. They've both gone way above me..."

"... are you afraid of being chased in the past..."

"... Yep. 'Cause I... don't feel like I can take it."

I must have seen something that was inviting me at the edge of my eyes with a twitch.

That's a loose ramp down the snowfield.

I went down this ramp with his sword after the Black Demon King died, and...

"Machia!! Machia, that would be good enough. I didn't bring you here to remind you of that!!

Thor pushed me down over the snowfield, smiling sadly somewhere, as he drew my consciousness back.

Touch my cheek and shake my head.

"Machia...... I just left the past behind. There were a lot of important things, but I put them all away, and now I have something I want. I remember the past, but all I thought about was you. I only thought about you at the end of the day, even though there were a lot more serious things to think about. Machia was there... so I could give up my last life."

"Give up the previous life...?

"That's right. I mean, I stopped adhering to what happened in my last life.... I can only think about what's going to happen. That's why you don't have to think about pushing yourself through a previous life. You don't have to be scared."

………

Thor is sweet.

Because it's sweet, that's what I dared say. My previous life was a little different from that of Thor and Ulysses.

It's a little... different.

"Thor... next door, fall asleep..."

………

"Please."

I asked Thor, yes. Thor had a strange look to say he didn't get it well, but he fell asleep next to me, as I was told.

Really, I wonder what you're doing.

On the cold snow, you two fall asleep side by side.

………

………

But we can see the size of the sky in Eyesmore.

Beautiful, quiet place in the dawn gradient.

I hesitated a little and took Thor's hand.

Honestly, this is the best I can do.

I touched Thor without hesitation until now.

"............ makia"

"... oh, please. Hands... can I connect...? Cold......"

………

Thor shut up and shook my hand back.

Especially not doing anything more.

I think you're a really good push-pull guy.

"Machia... One suggestion..."

………

"You, you want to get old, don't you?

"... right. I've seen more of me... It's good to be old and ugly. … that's normal."

"Well... let's get old together"

………

"What are you going to do if something happens to you? I guess we're going home to Delierfield, huh?

"... right. If I could do that, I would think it would be great..."

"Delia Field is a good place. The climate is mild, the wheat fields are beautiful in the autumn, the food is delicious..."

"Yes, yes, the food is delicious."

I didn't think, turned my face toward Tor and nodded loudly.

Because this is what happens when it comes to food.

Thor laughs furiously, then looks at me and says it again.

"So in that place, let's get old together......"

…………

"I'm telling you, this is my... full proposal."

The rays of the sun's straight line, which appeared in the sky at dawn.

The world changes color at once, and the darkness stains bright and red.

I just stared at Tor and wept.

This is Eyesmore.

Once, a place that the Red Witch, while visiting many times, could never be accepted in the true sense of the word.

Someday, I'm sure he'll like me, too... that he might welcome me to this country... an ideal place with pale hopes.

I didn't expect to be taken in this country again for giving up that long and long thought.

"Well, that's..."

"Oh. I'm talking about getting married. Well, I'm not saying right now, but if it's about engagement... even Ulysses..."

"Oh, you... you..."

I couldn't have been happier though, wiping the tears that came out by accident.

Thor knows the future I want most.

I can't help but be happy when I think you're trying to make that happen, but you still don't hang up.

My mouth is shaking and my words don't come out well.

"... wah, I... Tor... eh"

"Oops...... I guess I don't need a response yet"

Thor attached his index finger to my lips and wouldn't let him say anything from it.

It was a very memorable situation.

Nik man everywhere. The Black Demon King came to the western continent and did exactly the same thing to me.

And that moment is also the moment I fell in love with the Black Demon King.

A really nik man.

I could only cry, whether I was happy or sorry, while holding Tor's hand.

It's not sad.

Just say that one day I was dreaming, that it was then.

Two thousand years ago, we should have just broken up under such a beautiful dawn sky without ever exchanging our thoughts.

Never faced each other, us.

We kept our backs to each other.

The colors of the beautiful sky, the clouds and the countless stars that still peek are exactly the same as those of that day... and now we're looking at each other's faces.

I'm facing it right.

I sincerely prayed for the future.

Oh, he said I wanted to be happy. I finally realized it.

I want to see Thor properly and accept Thor, not the Black Demon King.

I want to grow old with Thor. I want to be happy...... eh.

I am reminded that one wish has not changed since 2000 years ago.

But I also know that I still have things to face for.

Thor said you don't have to take the past by force, but I still think that's essential if you're going to be happy in the real sense.

"... Tor..."

"What..."

"... it's beautiful, the sky. Not at all the same as that day.................."

Once I looked up into the sky, I couldn't help but hug Thor's arm to my chest and bury my face on my shoulder.

One day, there will come a day when we will have to remember what lies ahead of us in this sky colour. The day I have to face it.

I'm sure I'll suffer.

But I definitely don't want to run then.

Even if I'm scared, I don't want to run. 'Cause beyond that, I want to be happy with Thor.

Thor showed me the goal for the future.

So please, give me the courage, the strength, to go beyond the sins of my previous life.
