Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
01: Mythical Daiichi 9 - Golden Apple
(From Mayday A Mythological History)
In the age of mythology, there was a great war called the Log Veda War caused by Acromeia.
Many human beings died and many weapons of war were born.
When it comes to a mythically important product, created during the Log-Veda War, it is the “artifact” of the gods that has also been taken over by modern times.
It was Para Ellis who created this.
Because he was good at producing weapons.
I remember the first time Ellis came to this land of death and reflected my power in the artifact.
Ellis turned to the gentleman and handed me the artifact.
I didn't participate in the war, so I didn't know exactly what power the artifact in my hand possessed.
Ellis said something that didn't make sense to me.
"Its artifact is a disaster, its last hope"
It was a sword in a splendid sheath.
However, this was after the end of Log Veda, but I was not particularly interested in the artifact that I had created, and suddenly Acromeia came and told Ellis to turn over the sword that he had created.
I didn't care, but I was curious about how Acromeia handled this sword, and I refused because I didn't want anything to bother me again.
Then he took only the “shape” of his sword from me and fled this land of death.
I don't know why only the shape of the sword was taken, but my artifact became a shapeless mist, and I decided to carry it with me in my sheath.
But maybe this was the only disaster Ellis was talking about.
One day, Acromeia suddenly invited the gods to a feast.
I didn't want to get involved with the ground and Acromeia again, but the day after this feast, Magiliva came to me with outrage.
Take a lot of food.
I was, as always, under a pomegranate tree, watching over the land of death.
"Hadefis, why didn't you come yesterday!
"... I only have a bad feeling about Acromeia's feast. Besides, I stopped interfering with the ground."
"You didn't do anything when Log Veda, did you?"
"In times of war, I'm rather busy with this land of death. It's horrible that you guys didn't do anything to tell me that you guys were dealing with the aftermath of the outburst."
"... in a good way,“ I didn't do anything. "
Magiliva took out a large chunk of ham, bacon, and sausage from the cage she was carrying on her back after she said her dislike as a stick.
"I'll give you this. I've been in incense lately."
……
"And this too. Candied fruit"
Also Magiliva taking out food one after the other.
I saw it with a frightened look on my face, and I was glad she was still bringing food here.
There was not much to come here during Log Veda, but it had calmed down, and he was starting to come back for food and ground reports.
But Magiliva seems to be feeling something from earlier.
It's a swell somewhere, and there's wrinkles between my eyebrows...
"Is something wrong?
I asked.
"Anyway, at yesterday's feast, I guess Acromeia even made me feel bad. Look, it's better to keep it grown up in your own country."
"You're in perfect shape too."
Magiliva took a long hair and sighed once.
"Acromeia created something new... you know what?
"... what?
"Don't be surprised to hear that.... he created a new goddess, one of us."
……
Magiliva looked serious and said, but I had no idea what it was about.
But she says that Acromeia created the tenth God with the magic of her own creation.
It was somewhat speculative to say that it had been created by the same procedure as the Golem, which existed in many of these days, but I didn't understand why it was a "goddess”.
In the first place, I wonder what a goddess is with and says so... what makes it different than just a human woman?
Similarly, Magiliva didn't understand.
The reason for Magiliva's angst lay with the goddess.
"Sure, she was such a beautiful goddess. She is a clear and adorable goddess with pale blonde hair and looks good in white and peach. But I don't know if all the men will be able to see it. Acromeia was very proud of her. You've got a goddess envied by other gods."
Magiliva swelled up and said so, smashing the black grass on the ground.
It was an incomprehensible situation because she hadn't seen the occasion, but apparently she was angry with the new goddess.
"Were all gods but me?
"... no. Utice and Demetris are not here. Whatever, because Demeteris is in a cage, it's almost time to give birth, and Utis won't try to get away from Demeteris' side like that. Jealous couple, not at all."
……
"But all the men but Utice and you who weren't here are gone. Guys, look out for that goddess."
While Magiliva complains, she is somewhere anxious.
I'm doing an unintelligible job of arranging the ripped black grass in front of me this time.
If you're not playing with your hands, you're saying you don't care...
"When I saw the Krondor guy, the goddess, he looked so surprised. It's not normal. It was a surprise, but it doesn't tell me why. And then again, it's always blurry. I couldn't eat the feast rice at all... no, I did eat a little bit though. A little."
……
"Yes, yes. The goddess blushed her cheeks when she saw Klondor's face and said," I don't think I've ever seen her before. "Klondor is also Klondor. I'm about to cry."
"... I mean, are you jealous?
When asked in a direct balloon, Magiliva glared at me, then stuck her lips out and said.
"Anyway, that's what I mean."
……
Klondor is going to have a tough time pissing off Magiliva...
At this time, I was optimistic about the situation, and only to that extent.
However, naturally, it seems to have been a serious matter for Magiliva.
"Klondor, I wonder what happened...... What should I do... if Klondor likes her?"
Magiliva held her knees as a shun, not as if, fingering the black soil on the ground.
"Is there a reason for that? Then Krondor was originally a man of constant rumors everywhere, but even during the Log-Veda war, he must have fought desperately to protect your country. You're not married yet?
"... not yet. I mean, the ground is still unstable."
Maguiri, Va. He looked me in the eye.
I also pointed a similar gaze at her.
"You're good. Stay calm, stay objective."
"... if you don't engage with the outside world, you won't feel rough."
"You understand."
Magiliva stood up with a sigh and slapped the dress.
"I'll get you something again. You know, it's good to live in hiding, but sometimes you have to go outside."
"When I go out there, I take the filth of death with me."
"You're an idiot. The ground isn't as beautiful as you think it is. The land of death is uncontested, it's just quiet... and from what I can tell, it's much more peaceful here."
Magiliva laughed with her nose.
I didn't know what she was trying to say, but I thought it must be the irony of a dispute over the ground.
Magiliva then left this land of death, saying that she would also go to Utis and Demeteris to hem.
As I sidetracked Magiliva's return back, I thought about the new goddess that everyone said was seen.
How the hell did Acromeia create the goddess?
While I would like to see the goddess, I was also worried about Magiliva.
Quick, you should make up with Klondor.
A while later, Klondor came to this place.
It was the usual, regular spatial maintenance.
Looking around at this country a little bit, I told him that Magiliva had arrived the other day.
"Magiliva was jealous. You're distracted by another goddess."
"... Magiliva guy"
Klondor lay his hand on the dead tree on his side, sighing haha.
"Recently, on the street, it's been a tough hit."
He seems to remember a lot, too.
You haven't made up yet...
"What the hell is going on? I heard Acromeia created the goddess... is that possible?"
"... surprised me, too. I don't know how Acromeia created the goddess. But that must be our goddess.... but what surprised me the most..."
"What's up?
Klondor leaned down and looked difficult.
Is it about this look on his face that Magiliva was saying?
"That goddess... she looked so much like the princess I had always protected in the previous world. So I'm just surprised."
"... what?
Speaking of which, did you think that the world before Klondor was summoned to this Mayday was the end of a world of frequent disasters?
At the end of the day, he used to tell me that he couldn't protect the princess he was serving.
Apparently, the goddess created by Acromeia looked just like the princess then.
That's a really weird story.
Klondor seemed confused.
It's like repairing a flank of space, but not like a spitting Magiliva, and thinking about one person stuffy.
"Hey, Hadefis. Have you thought about it? By what standards have we been summoned to this world?"
"... I don't know"
"I'm thinking maybe there's someone else in this world who's been summoned. Maybe that goddess swore that I would protect her for the rest of her life..." Helena... "
"Klondor"
"I'm sorry. That can't be right. That's the goddess that Acromeia created.... Must be one of my harassments"
What happened in the previous world is not a troublesome memory for each of us.
But I thought it was something each of us had already thrown away.
I don't even remember the past world anymore.
No, I guess it's easy to remember if you try to remember, but I thought you didn't have to.
But Klondor doesn't seem to be.
I still have unforgettable regrets. I have thoughts. There are people I have to keep remembering.
I can see that from his painful look.
"Hey, Klondor. I don't think I can help thinking about the world before, but when I think about other women, I'm gonna have a big eyeball at Magiliva. I'm scared to piss him off."
I said it in the face. Because I really thought so.
Then Klondor blew out and nodded.
"That's right. I love Magiliva. That's a fact that doesn't change. I'm worried about Magiliva."
"If that's what you think, come and explain it to Magiliva quickly.... I feel kind of bad"
"What do you mean you don't like it... like Magiliva getting rammed up or something?
"There's that too. Oh, no, I'm not. … it must be a terrible ploy for Acromeia to create a goddess. Don't worry, there will be more deaths."
"Right. Then this country must also be built up further. I have more work to do."
Klondor laughed all the time and looked up at the cloudy sky of the land of death.
I'll push it again.
"Don't disturb Magiliva too much. He must be your lover..."
"I know. Just..."
Klondor looked serious, said something and stopped, just nodded.
And look at my face and say.
"Somehow, when I'm talking to you, it's like I'm talking to Magiliva's brother.... Well, you do. We're all brothers. So does Acromeia. It's all wrong now..."
……
"I'd like to think he opened the feast because he wanted to walk over with us."
"As always, sweet, Krondor is"
"... I think so."
As I know myself, he smiled bitterly.
As we learned later, the goddess of Acromeia was the goddess who presided over "love" so that we had our own concepts to symbolize.
It is a concept that has existed from the very beginning at the foundation of this world called Mayday.
Para alpha Helenaia, the original goddess who presides over love.
In later Maidea mythology, for some reason the presence of this goddess is hidden and analogous to the fruit of love, the "Golden Apple".
Acromeia met somewhere with the concept of 'love' and gave her flesh to this.
We will see later why Klondor looked just like the princess Helena, who served in the previous world.
