Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
35: Thor, face Lena.
I've been thinking about sleeping Lena for a long time.
It's just that to convince Machia, how can I reassure Machia, because that's all I've been groping through my mind.
When did you get to think about Machia so much?
Not that Lena is untrained, Helena's rebirth, but we should still talk to her once and exchange words, opinions with each other.
That's as Machia told me, sure.
Otherwise, even Lena, who regained her memory, would live with the heavy stuff dragged away.
……
Lena woke up slowly.
With a blurry stare at the ceiling, I can hardly get up and when I realize I'm on my side, I bite my lower lip and distort my face. He seemed speechless.
"Lena... all of it, you remember?
I ask straight in.
Then Lena nodded small.
Not quite, I was looking at the floor not knowing what to ask next or what to ask.
Why did you betray me? Why did you kill me?
Why are you talking about the brave man? From the beginning, were you on his side?
I didn't even want to hear the questions I had for a long time, even though I could finally hear them.
Not that I'm not interested, of course, but it seems to be a question from a third-party perspective, somewhere, and not a mixture of intense personal feelings.
"Mr. Thor was... the Black Demon King, wasn't he?"
Fool, Lena uttered the word.
I'll give it back with the same tone of voice.
"... for me, in a previous life, in a previous life. It's someone else."
"But......"
When Lena got out of bed, she looked up at me with those moist eyes.
She cried a lot, her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was pale.
"Lena, I'm sure it's very pathetic that you remembered your past life. I feel sorry for you."
"Hey... why...? Why would you say that?
From the beginning, I pushed Lena away.
With a trembling voice, she uttered words that remained perplexed.
"Memories of previous life bind people. Of course, there are some things that can be broken up... but I'm going to cut them off. Me and Lily are still getting annoyed by something small and dull somewhere. But I also know that there are people who still can't separate their previous lives. The table shows a human being dragging the shadows of a previous life, even as he pretends to be energetic..."
……
"I'm sure that's something no one can avoid going through, but I want you to get over it if you can. You too... him too"
She looked up at me once and dropped her gaze on the white sheet.
And again, tears in tears.
"... I know you're confused, but don't think too much. You better think it's a dream."
"Why can you say that, Mr. Thor? Because... I killed you. You've taken so much care of me."
"Then I want to hear it. Why did you kill the Black Demon King?"
I was told “you," whereas I said "Black Demon King."
Lena just got her memories back, and Helena and I are in too much tune. And even when you look at me, you just think I'm the Black Demon King.
That shouldn't be the case.
Lena sees nowhere and is shaking her eyes.
The colour is very obscure.
"Even if I remember, I'm not sure. However, the thought of having to kill you suddenly came to a boil when I met the“ brave man ". Originally... as if I had been there for that."
……
"But... but it's true that Helena loved the Black Demon King. I'm sure you won't believe me... but that's for sure. I didn't come near to fool you.... I just remembered my chest is painful and I can't wait. You killed the Black Demon King because I... after that... eh"
"It's good enough, it's good enough, Lena"
I know Lena then lost her life herself.
That in itself is proof of regret for killing the Black Demon King. Nothing. I don't resent Helena.
I didn't want such a young, futuristic girl to remember this. I just think so.
"I don't even resent you. But... to be honest, I didn't want you to remember this."
……
Lena narrows her eyes a little and asks me in a small voice.
"... Mr. Thor, when you saw me... did you find out it was Helena?
"Oh, I knew it in a flash."
"... is that right?"
Lena looked up, who tended to lean over. Thin hair with long, straight pigments, the feel of its soft eyes, was certainly reminiscent of Helena.
I exchanged my eyes with her for a little while, but I stray softly.
"But don't worry. I don't think of you as Helena anymore. You come from another world, just Lena. I am under the orders of the Royal Palace, and I will protect you. That doesn't change.... If you want me to help you, I will help you and, of course, consult you. I'll do whatever I can.... just..."
I thought I'd say what I had to say once I held my mouth.
Whether this is thoughtful or whatever, I just need to say it first.
"Now I care about Machia. Most importantly. I'm the Black Demon King... you know, but I didn't have any feelings for the Red Witch. But I'm not the Black Demon King right now. At least, it wasn't him 2,000 years ago. I'm Thor. On Earth, he lived up to a year of high school with“ Maki ”in the name of" Transparency ”. Then I was born in this world as Thor, and my parents were there, and I met Machia again.... the relationship that ended my life as Black Demon King and then piled up with Machia is making me who I am now. It doesn't matter what previous life was. … I want to continue to take care of Makia the most, and in the future… I wish I could be with you."
……
So far all at once, so cold sweaty.
But not only did I say these words to Lena, they were also words I would say to myself.
Thor, what the hell do you want?
"Machia... you're a red witch after all"
……
"Helena had noticed that the Red Witch liked the Black Demon King. Though I only saw him a little..."
"Oh, really?
……
She nodded cocoon, frowned and laughed.
"When did the Black Demon King... Mr. Thor realize?
"Me? No... I... I mean, recently..."
Put your cheeks on and flush your gaze sideways in an awkward way.
Lena laughed dullly.
"Still, you're blunt." The Black Demon King. "
And with a smile, I wept softly.
Lena's heart must be very complicated. I'm sure it's only a small part of what I understand.
Not less than this time, I was remembering Helena's, innocent, innocent, bright appearance of a previous life that I didn't love. She was a sweet daughter. That's for sure.
But in this world, I can't protect her first.
Then who the hell will support this stray from the other world? I wonder who will live with me. When I thought about it, I lined her up on my own with words that would make her more meticulous, but I think Lena was awesome for smiling and joking.
Somebody, I want you to find her and do it.
I may be saying something of my own accord, but I want someone in this world who cares most about Lena if he can.
One last tear, I knew her loneliness, and I sincerely thought so.
