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

13: Machia, the color of the eroding evening.

In the evening, I broke up with Lena and came back to my room.

She is trapped by a royal palace samurai and will be ready for the evening party.

I have to get ready for the ball tonight, too, but I don't feel like it, so I go out to the garden and sit blurry.

You get really tired of all these balls every day. Nobles and royalty are tough.... I'm a nobleman, too.

The ecclesiastical festival buzz is still going on. Something you can hear some lively music from, even in the evening.

The garden out of my room is very serene on my back.

"Lena... you look like a good girl"

Unlike Helena 2,000 years ago, it seemed like nothing fundamental had changed, although it felt like a big deal, somewhere self-confident offering to me. That soft air, that presence you can't help but care about.

Me, Thor, and Ulysses, too, but you're reconstructing the life we got on Earth and its environment that came to Mayday again.

"Oh, what are you depressed about? I don't think so. I've been here lately. Now, let's get ready. Thor and the others will go directly to the venue."

Saying every big one, I got up. Pay the lawn attached to your dress and try to get back to your room.

Because Lepis and Noah have also left my escort and are now on Lena's escort, so I can't even get these parties ready today.

Docun......

Glad, I fluttered a lot. Because above my left chest, it hurt more intensely.

See you later.

"............"

I breathed, bringing it to the tree that was on my side.

Why, like this...... I even had my magic flow ready in the diocese.

I don't know what the hell caused this, but it's not like I don't realize the power of Zawazawa and restlessness.

"Why...? Because it's evening?

I asked Thor before that it is the time when magic is most activated, saying Twilight Zone in the evening.

This seems to be the time of discovery by the Twilight clan.

I don't know, but I even feel like I'm being eroded by something very unpopular.

I feel like I'm about to be grabbed by a wrinkle, a wrinkle, and something very important behind my body.

"Hey."

The moment my consciousness was about to fly away into so much pain, I was hugged by someone's arm.

What came into the edge of my vision was my golden hair.

The lower the voice, the more I almost froze my spine just hearing it...... I should have known that voice.

"Why... are you here... brave man"

………

He answered nothing, just looked at me sideways with those sharp blue eyes.

Because I can't move, I feel like I'm supporting you with my arms as if you fell in.

"You... when"

"Yes?

"" When ”that happened. Why......"

The brave man had an unsightly look on his face. Even though he's usually pale and calm, he saw how I was doing and let those eyes soak in just a little surprising color.

And he pushed me, ramblingly, against the tree on the side.

"Yes...... I want to. What the hell, you!!

………

Where I complained even as I was weak, the brave man ignored me and put two fingers aligned next to my neck, then held me down from the clavicle around the top of my chest. It's almost sexual harassment, but it's so painful and I'm getting more cold sweats.

"... eh"

"You... when"

"... hey, what..."

"When did you encounter“ Blue General ”!!

………

I was also surprised that the brave man had a strong tone, but above all I didn't know what his words meant.

Blue General......?

"Oh, I can't believe General Blue... I've never met him..."

………

The brave man looked at me again, laying down his face only slightly and with a slightly seeping look of impatience.

"Red Witch, this is a“ curse ”.... you are under the curse of the Blue General"

"... Huh?

With a thoughtful, questionable expression, I looked up to the brave.

The brave man grabbed both my shoulders, and once he exhaled, he went back to him sooo much as usual.

But I remember an earlier moment of his impatience.

That's what fuels my anxiety without further ado.

"What do you mean...? of the Blue General...... curse?

………

"I've never met..." Thor said we met once in Verret... "

"... he can take over a variety of human personalities, consciousness, and flesh. Even if you say you've never met him, there's a good chance you've encountered him. But when it comes to cursing a magician like you, you have to clear quite a few conditions and constraints..."

The brave man narrowed his eyes and was thinking deeply.

I didn't know what to do, only anxiety was getting bigger and bigger, and I grabbed his arm and asked.

"What's a curse? What the hell am I going to do!!

………

As soon as I shouted out, the sound of a violent heartbeat sounded in my brain again, my whole body wrapped in pain, and my consciousness flew.

I seemed to have fallen as-is, like I was breaking my leg.

Although humiliating, it seemed that the brave man held his back and supported him.

That's sensible, I kind of figured it out.

Dusk's shortest, most zawa-me-time period of magic.

I had a hunch for a symbolic future of my own in the imminent colour of the sky in the darkness.

Tor......

I want to see Thor.

I was standing in the burning field. Nothing, on a devastated earth.

And I understand. Oh, this is the continent of the west, which I've burned down.

Who knows the western continent, once said to be a very rich land?

There was a kingdom here, a forest, inhabited by many people.

But I was hated, and in a flash, I used magic to feed myself and my brave intelligence to burn the continent.

Our presence is one with so much information built in.

Even though I didn't know that, I am certainly the worst witch that has plunged the world into chaos.

Red and grainy, the colour of the sky that gives a sense of the end of the world.

As I looked up at it, I was just blurry. It's the color of the Red Witch... think about it with ease.

……

When I notice, from the crack of the earth, something like a black hand stretches around my body, trying to tangle my hands and feet.

"Hey, what's this..."

Blue and black It starts to wriggle and erode from the skin as it enters my body.

It's very disgusting, it's scary, it hurts.

They're trying to take me somewhere while they take me in.

"Stop... Oh, stop!!

No matter how much I try to shake it off, no matter how much I resist, how fast they swallow me, I bite my lower lip and bleed, commanding to the countless hands of black.

"Get away from me!!

Paaaaaa, the white light spread in front of me and I accidentally meditated on my eyes.

The world changed color from chaotic, rough matters, and now it just moved into a white space. Only blood falling from the lips leaves red potatoes and marks.

………

Chari... Chari...

Somewhere, I heard the rubbing sound of the chain, and I saw it under my feet, horrified, feeling myself lumping behind my chest.

Already there it turns from a white space, green moss, holy garden.

I checked the chain stretching out of my leg and took a breath. Following it... it's still connected to the "water coffin”.

Above my left chest, it hurt severely. I'm just self-absorbed, running through that mossy garden, running away.

From that coffin, from the empty seat coffin, you run away.

The chains connected to Charichari and her legs remained strained with a bottle along the way to catch me. I couldn't cut it off on my own, and I fell.

"Please... come off!!

No matter how many times I've ordered it, it's still, just catching me.

And you pull the jitters and me, as if it were a device to unwind the chains behind the coffin.

"I don't like it!! Please, come off it!! I still don't want to die!!

As I am dragged, I injure my hands and feet and bleed. Still, I can't use command magic.

This chain is located far above my magic.

......... yes, the laws of the world

This is it, this is it, this is one of them.

An absolute law that cannot be crossed, whether there is magic in our Demon King class or magic.

Oh, the coffin's already here, right in front of me.

The other coffins are already buried. I'm the only one still fighting to get in here.

"............ Tor...... eh"

I want to see Thor.

Because of this, I can imagine my future with him, but I don't want to die here.

But a lot of the carelessness of those who became unhappy because of me will surely not allow it.

"............ KICKIA............ MAKIA!!

Ha, I woke up because I heard that voice calling my name.

I swayed my black eyes terribly anxiously and Tor was staring at me.

It seemed like a private room here.

I was lying in bed.

"... Tor"

"Good, Machia.... You're not coming to the party, so when I came to see how you were doing, you were sleeping with a terrible complexion. No way, my chest hurts again?

………

Thor was holding my hand tightly.

As soon as I realized its warmth, I wept in my eyes and clasped my lips.

I felt the pain because it seemed like I had bitten my lower lip and had a scratch, and I noticed later the taste of blood in my mouth.

"Tor...... eh. Me... me... eh"

The sight and pain like earlier had already calmed me down, but the great anxiety behind my heart and the memories and sins of the past that pushed me by helplessly, the legacy hastened me, and I accidentally spilled a great deal of tears. Get up with a bah, draw Thor's arm like a child, and sob.

"What's wrong... makia..."

………

I wonder if a crying child feels like this after a nightmare.

And it's a terrible dream. I didn't raise my voice and cry. Just pouring tears, but lots of words to put in, keep swallowing.

"No way, did you even dream about it in your previous life?

………

Thor rubbed my back gently.

I breathe heavily and shake my head.

"No... it's not. Just a little, I had a scary dream. I'm sorry, the moment I woke up, I saw your face, so maybe I was upset."

……

Myself, trying to regain my composure, I moved a little away from him.

Is it still the brave man who followed me here?

He said the curse of the Blue General lay on me.

Should I tell Thor about this?

No, it would be better if I checked with the brave man to see what the curse is doing...

I immediately decided so and nodded individually.

"Hey, Machia. Your lips are cut. Blood..."

Thor put his hand on my cheek and wiped the blood accumulated on the edge of my lips with his thumb.

"... in your dreams, you chewed it off"

"What is it? You even had such a regrettable dream. Did they even take the food?

"Nothing, I didn't regret biting my lower lip. You shouldn't touch my blood much more than... It's like poison... I don't know if it explodes."

……

I think the poison, explosion, doesn't connect to anything, but I should have said explosive.

Thor becomes silent, wipes that blood with a handkerchief, and looks discreet somewhere.

"Well, unless you order me to blow up, I'm supposed to be fine."

"Well, yes. But any world should be wary of handling hazardous materials. I don't know where it's gonna go wrong."

"... that's right. I'm out of luck."

Thor seems to be aware, and you should be more careful because you're on your unlucky side.

Until earlier, I was so anxious and horrible, I accidentally laughed.

Yeah, I knew it was Tor.

When I'm with Tor, I feel very comfortable and harmonious.

"You, I knew you weren't feeling well. It's an ecclesiastical festival, but you better get some rest. I'll tell King Raymond. I've never been sick before, you."

……

Thor is stroking my hair and fixing it.

Gentle Thor......... what would he think if he found out about my curse?

As much as you want to be happy, let it be, past sins have surfaced, resulting in the curse of the Blue General. I don't know what the hell, when, where...

I still had to be aware of that.

The “business” of the current past life and the “big business" that should eventually be formed.

The world is about to fold up against me.

They want results...... yes, they noticed.
