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

My name is Machia.

The mythological name is Para Magiliva.

"Thor, are you all right?"

After being stranded with Thor, with General Cannon, he was aiming for the Great Tree.

General Cannon glances sideways at me walking worried about Thor.

"It's not that easy to die."

That's all, I assure you.

Though I don't think that's what the brave man who once killed the Black Demon King would say either.

"But you know it, too. Thor is an intensely unlucky body. I don't know if he's conscious... but I'm anxious."

……

General Cannon has the same expression that I think he has, but he doesn't answer anything in particular.

"... but he said he would definitely come to you"

"I don't trust him."

……

"It's always been. But I don't trust you. I like you, including Thor."

"............ I know. Then you still have to believe him."

……

Pale, that's what I said, General Cannon.

I stood beside General Cannon walking ahead and looked up at his face.

Believe him, huh?

I wonder what. Once upon a time, I have this conversation and I feel as strange as I've ever been told.

Even though General Cannon tells me to believe Thor, I feel uncomfortable.

"Speaking of which... Hey, General Cannon. I've been wondering, why did you have my artifact?

……

"Why did you give it back to me then?

I don't remember knowing why my artifact was in General Canon's hands.

But I've always thought that he had my artifact, which seemed to mean something.

"That's because it was borrowed"

"... borrowed? Is that to me a long time ago? Me in mythical times?

"............ yes"

"Heh. I thought you'd been stuck with us the whole time, but we, you mean, sometimes we got along?

……

Especially General Cannon, who answers nothing.

It's suspicious of a lot of things, but maybe it's something I don't want to say.

Still silent, faceless.

I wonder if he's been like this since the beginning, since the mythological era...

"I wonder if the day will come when I will remember the mythological times..."

Somehow blurred.

But General Cannon dropped his tight gaze on me and said coldly, "You don't need to remember."

Even now, I don't know what this guy thinks.

That's when I felt a great wave of magic rushing through my body.

"... of now, what?

……

It was a great force, like looming from behind.

For a moment, my heart goes out.

I kind of miss this magic. But I'm scared.

That's the kind of magic wave.

"I wonder if something happened to Thor..."

"... you better hurry"

My concern, General Cannon hastened me.

Straight down the aisle, in a destination, General Cannon was exploring the surgical ceremony with his hands on the wall.

After a few explorations, he took a step back, even easier to solve the procedure.

Sue and just a circular muscle of light through the wall, which becomes like a door.

"The transfer door (warp zone). If we cross here, we can go to the other side."

"You won't go to weird places..."

"I don't know. But if you don't go, you won't be able to reach a place with a big tree."

"... I thought you were a prudent guy, but you're an out-of-the-box"

"At this stage, proceed with caution to become what"

"... so is that."

Though I was told, I stepped over after poking a little at that transfer door with a spear.

For a moment, I was struck by a feeling similar to Tor's metastatic magic and just a little dazzled.

In the land ahead of you, a gentle voice like a lullaby pours down from above like the light of the sun.

When I opened my eyes haphazardly, it was in a strange forest.

The woods are bustling with trees, like people haven't been in for a long time now.

"... here is"

"This is old Vabel."

"Old...... Vabel"

"You were the one who named this place Vabel... Magiliva"

……

I think I miss it somehow, even if I don't remember it.

But I wonder if the thought of my nostalgia is comparable to that of this General Canon.

General Cannon had eyes that were as if they were faceless, but not entirely emotionless.

I wonder what this place is for him and for us.

Proceed through the woods.

There were dead apple trees and grape shelves.

Light light plunges through the gaps in the trees to illuminate the remnants of those doomed worlds.

What light is this?

It's like when you open an attic that hasn't opened in forever, you're in silence.

The smell of a decaying earth, similar to dust, and the sorrow of a doomed civilization.

They blur their noses and stick around their bodies.

I didn't feel bad, but my heart was bothered and disturbed, and my chest tightened to my grief.

"... it's Daiki"

General Cannon, who was walking in front of me, stopped.

Full of many thoughts, I accidentally hit General Cannon's back with my head.

But he didn't care, he just looked up at what was in front of him.

……

I'll make sure of that, too.

Peek into General Cannon's face from his back and step forward of him.

Once Machia Odileel was supposed to be the big tree we used to see in the Patriarchate.

But that seemed a little different from the great tree that was in the Patriarchate.

Much bigger than that great tree, the countless branches stretching out everywhere cover this strip as if there were as much as one country.

"... Daiki"

At the root of my mother's great tree, naturally, there was no coffin for us.

Instead, there is a stone tablet with grass on it.

I took the moss by hand rubbing it, and I read the stone tablet.

"Welcome Back"

That's what it said there.

Unexpectedly my chest became painful because my soul did know the great being that told me that.

If you listen, you'll hear the laughter of the children.

That's what I've always asked you.

It was a remnant of an era that was too far, way back, and similar to a fairy tale.

"... you think I miss it?

"Yeah, I wonder why. I don't have a mythical memory."

To General Cannon's pale inquiry, I nod, holding my head down.

"Hey, me, what am I supposed to do?

……

"Here, the laws of the world are sleeping, aren't they?

Grasping the artifact all the time, I pointed my face at the great tree, at General Cannon.

He narrowed his eyes and answered a few moments later.

"The laws of the world are sealed in this great tree.... With the power of your destruction, we'll have to cut down the great tree"

"... Daiki...?

"That's right. This Mayday connected the original being to the earth with a great tree. Daiki is the mother. If we have the laws of the world here, we have to destroy this."

"That's... that's"

That means taking the great tree from Mayday.

You will lose the symbol of the world. That's a tremendous anxiety.

I guess what I'm trying to do is not one good thing for Mayday, in the end, with the on-the-spot destruction.

I am reminded of that by being able to poke at the palpable result of losing the great tree.

"... don't get lost"

"General Cannon."

"If you're lost, you lose something important and you end up regretting it.... you, think of yourself. Put your happiness first. Because in the end, if you can't save the most important thing, you can't save anything else."

……

The color of General Cannon's, clear lake-like eyes had settled back to back with me.

So finally, we have a very similar eye color, but you get a completely different impression, and I can afford to think about something long.

"General Cannon... then you too, to save what is most important to you... are you saying that you have spent so much time doing everything you've ever done?

……

Also, after a slight silence, which I guess you won't be able to answer, General Cannon just nodded a word "oh".

I was surprised.

"Then... what was your most important thing?

……

"Isn't that an answer?

……

General Cannon didn't answer all this.

I laughed small, thinking it seemed.

"Fair enough.... If you've done what you've done for what's important to you, it means I'll have the courage to break the laws of the world for what's important to me.... we're both guilty."

"... from the beginning, I say yes"

"... you did"

When was that?

When I was still a young girl, Machia Odileel, General Cannon did say we were the same.

I hated and hated this guy then, and I couldn't help but be scared again, but now I'm not scared at all.

It's kind of calming, even though we don't know each other.

I wonder if this is the kind of emotion that was meant for him...

I stood in front of the great tree and put up a spear.

Well, take one deep breath.

Destroy this great tree and it will all be over...

Sue at her feet, and the light of the magic formation runs.

"Please Wait... Dear Machia"

But when I was sharpening my magic to put magic into the artifact, there was a man who came out from behind the great tree on the fence and spoke to me.

"... Huh?

Flowing glossy dark hair, red little lips, scary white skin.

Back to back with such a poor look, a thick, unadorned robe that covers the entire body rocks.

The carefree eyes were more sad.

When I saw the person, I accidentally stopped the magic.

It was those who did not even think they were here who appeared before them.

It was Lepis Twilight.
