Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
23: Machia, the division of disaster.
I made irrevocable mistakes.
……
Sit back on the spot, beforehand, and lay low on the earth.
Even though the purpose was achieved, I find this result unacceptable.
I don't like it. I don't like it.
I don't like this.
I haven't heard anything yet.
I don't know one thing about the truth about Canon.
There was a desire in me to save that man as soon as possible.
I don't know what that is.
It was similar to the thought of penance.
Yet, being helped to the end, and not being allowed to thank him, he fell to a place where there was no salvation.
When it was all over, we had so much to talk about...
"... Shatoma... what can I say to you... eh"
Stick your forehead to the earth and squeeze your voice out.
I thought about Shatoma who cared so much about Kanon.
From her, I took the canon. Because of what I did.
This isn't the result I wanted.
This, then, is the only result of us being saved again.
I don't like... I don't like this...
"Sorry... sorry... cannon... eh"
The words of penance overflowed one after the other.
It's a word I've been accumulating in my body.
How can you be so, so eager to apologize to that guy?
Where does this thought come from?
I don't want to be forgiven.
It just overflows.
This is not a thought as Machia, it's something I should have had all along since the mythological era.
I let that guy carry it all.
Hand me your sword... heavy and painful, eternal mission... let me carry it...
Gather the righteous golden colour...
What is recalled as twitching is the scene of fragmented mythology that I glimpsed earlier.
I never remembered all the myths, but I figured out what was going on and what was now.
But I don't care about mythology anymore.
Fistful grip, more and more, slap the earth.
I remember the look on Canon's face at the end.
Always he stops trying to say something and doesn't ask me for anything in return, he just saves me.
But that's not good.
Now I have to rescue him.
It will never make amends, but I don't want Canon to be in a dark place anymore.
I don't want you to be alone.
I want you to be happy.
If we don't save him now, no one will be saved anymore.
Despite not having a single millimeter of magic left, but rather a negative situation, I ate my teeth and was about to get up.
My legs are slipping and I'm about to fall, and I can be supported by Lepis.
Spit blood, recognise the rattling body again, but try to get up again.
"Don't be impotent, Master Machia. It will also collapse here soon...... Let's run."
"I can't. You can't just leave Cannon and run away."
"... Dear Machia"
I said to Lepis.
"Hey, what was that earlier? How can Cannon help?
"... the earlier“ that ”must be the Ura of Heaven"
"Ulla?"
"It's one of the concepts that has existed since the original days of Mayday. We're not the ones who make it happen."
……
"The destruction of the Great Tree must have pissed off the inhabitants of Nara. General Cannon has been drawn in. If I can go to Nara, or... No, I can't. Once, the hole to Naruto was completely closed, and there was nothing but contact from the other side, such as how to get there."
"... no"
trembling, exhaling long.
No, not yet.
Don't give up yet.
If we can get to Naruto, there's a chance we can help Cannon.
Then you have to go.
Take on all the darkness and truth of Mayday, to Nara.
"Well don't be in such a hurry, Red Witch. Anyway, I'll take you to Nara soon."
From overhead, I heard a disgusting tone that sounded familiar.
At the same time as the end of that word, Lepis, who stood by me, bled from the edge of his mouth, falling on me.
Behind Lepis, there was a man in the black robe who looked familiar.
"... Nathan Twilight..."
Will Nathan say he stabbed Lepis?
Before that, this man...
Above Nathan's left breast...... what automatically surfaced behind my eyes was now a disastrous floral pattern, the mark of that hateful “Blue General”.
"Long time no see, Red Witch. I missed you."
"... you"
Natan has a dagger in his right hand.
That's what Lena once had.
I imagine an unpleasant imagination, in many patterns.
All the while, putting up with the curse I wanted him to bathe in, I called out to Lepis, whose back was pierced by Nathan.
"Lepis, Lepis...... hold on tight"
"Dear Machia. It's okay... with that dagger, I won't die"
"Repis...... eh"
Lepis wiped his mouth with a sleeve of black robes, and as he stood up to his temperament, he looked back at the nathan behind him.
"Uncle Nathan... no, in that case, you're Ellis again"
"I don't know. I inherited Russ Gene's“ Ellis "..."
Nathan gracefully folded his hips with his hands on his chest.
The atmosphere is separate from the previous Nathan.
That's how it wraps up a frigid atmosphere, like a blue general.
"What the hell is wrong with you...... stabbing me, etc. Are you saying that you came out of the main unit (mother) with such a directive?"
"No way.... this is my arbitrary behavior, Lepis"
"... what do you mean"
"I deny the worst disaster for Mayday, derived from the main body (Mother). Because the world has already lost Istarte, and the path of rebuilding is lost, whether it destroys the laws of the world or not."
"… then more so, of the destruction of the laws of the world, isn't it a choice"
"That's not funny at all"
Natan spread his hands over him and assured him.
"Such a plain ending, I will not admit anything. So, against the main body (Mother). But I found the worst disaster in arbitrariness. … it's about pushing all the demon kings down to Nara."
……
To Nara...?
For a moment I had hope that I might be able to go to Nara.
At the same time, I was remembering that someone was terribly afraid of a place called Nara.
That must have been very important to me.
Heart beats loudly.
A loved one tried to fight with sin on his own, not to let us fall into a place called Naruto.
In my deep, low place, the sound of a creaking bell was ringing.
"Come on, Red Witch... let's go down to Nara together. Mayday, who suddenly loses the Demon King, will be terribly lost."
……
"The demon kings who have fallen to Nara are insane in solitude and cold, burning their hatred of the earth, bringing Mayday to a true end with no escape, with the concept and fruit of disaster. Breaking the earth, sinking into the sea, bringing eruptions, withering rain… Still, there is no more God on earth who will save us"
"... you, what"
I don't know what the man in front of me is saying.
But I know that's a hell of a bad ending.
"You shouldn't! I don't want the main body (mother), like pushing Machia down to Naruto."
Lepis categorically rejected this.
Opinion on Nathan.
"Mayday is already an atheistic world. No matter what you do, you slowly head to the end. You don't have to speed this up.... the rest should be in the hands of the Mayday people!
"Lepis...... you are part of Ellis but not serious and funny anywhere. We should have been instrumental in bringing disaster to Mayday. Such a lukewarm ending...... still not funny"
"... eh. Don't talk about joking about doctrine in the presence of your Uncle Nathan. I'll kill you as long as I see your uncle like that."
She touched her ear with a long sickle in her hand, eating up her teeth and with a look full of lepis and other murderous intentions.
Stand before me and speak with your back turned.
"Dear Machia... run away"
"Well, what are you talking about, then you run away, Lepis!
"No. Then it's the bump he thinks. He ignored the body's orders and awoke to his own desires. We are going to deny our decided final disaster and speed up the end of Mayday.... thrust you demon kings into Naruto."
"... speed up the end of Mayday...?
"If that happens, Mayday will really lose its signposts. The Demon Kings still have a role to play. From now on, even without the Demon King... we will leave indicators so that people can do it..."
Lepis, with his wounded body, jumped out toward Nathan, shaking the Great Sickle.
Natan takes it with the momentum to pull out his hips sword.
Using continuous metastatic magic, it flies across the sky, sounding the sickle and sword crossed.
Potatoes and Lepis' blood come down.
Take it on your cheeks and follow their battle with your eyes.
That's all I can do.
I can't move at all.
Even if you want to use magic, you have no magic.
Ever since just now, the returned magic has been turned to pay for a negative portion and has been hit by a continuous lack of magic.
This is close to Thor's, huge risk late payment.
That's all I destroyed.
Maybe for the rest of my life, I've been asked to pay for magic, and practically magic has become an unusable body...
"What should I do... eh"
Now Lepis was pierced by Natan's sword and slapped on the ground as he was.
Lepis sinks into the fountain of blood so that it can be sewn into the earth with a sword.
"Lepis...... Huh!!
I crawled and tried to get close to Lepis, who fell to the ground.
Reaching for her, Natan grins disgustingly, descending between Lepis and me and stepping on my hand.
"... eh"
Intense pain distorts the expression.
Nathan looked down at me like that to his satisfaction.
"The Red Witch...... no, Magiliva. You really look good in blood."
Soon, he gave in and lifted my jaw, on the side of the blade of the God-killing dagger.
Breathtaking to the chillness of the blade, which creeps down my throat.
"Heh heh... if this scratches your way off, you'll die easily"
"... he wants to kill me again."
"No. I don't want to kill you.... even before, I didn't want to kill you. I just wanted you."
With a meaningful grin on his mouth, he put his face closer and gazed at each other.
You look just like Thor, but your spine looks frozen.
"In me there is a strong desire that sprouted during the“ Blue General ”. Thousands of years ago, when I went to a devastated western continent, I admired the presence of a fierce Red Witch and was in love with your power. You are much more“ disastrous ”than I imagined..."
……
"And in this world, I tried to get you. But you escaped my reign, chose death, and returned to this world again... all of this is an exhilarating, exciting and interesting result"
"You... are crazy."
"Ha. That's a compliment."
Only this much dislike came out of my mouth.
Though I told him to throw it away, even that, seems to just please the man in front of him.
"Now it's time for me to get your flesh and let it be a symbol of“ disaster ”that even crosses the main body (Mother).... Magiliva, even you want to go to Nara? If so, please make yourself comfortable here."
Natan took his dagger away from me and stood up.
Now I kicked Lepis, and pulled the sword through her shoulder, thoughtfully.
Lepis bites his lower lip and endures pain.
"Originally, you were blind, weren't you? Being interrupted with another will, though it was created from the same..."
"... Na, Uncle Natan..."
Natan put up a long sword stained with blood and laughed with his nose when he saw himself reflected on the side of the blade.
"At the end of the day, I want you to be happy to be killed by your beloved uncle."
……
And wave that long sword up thoughtfully.
"Stop! Stop!!
Shouting, I opened my eyes, and I reached out bloody hand toward the thoughtless Lepis.
Hands open to the first glass of eyes. From the gap between the finger and the finger, there is a peek of Lepis falling powerless, who can't reach it.
Lepis........................!
"You idiot. You're the one who's gonna die, General Blue."
At that time, a black shadow, as if it were a disease, bounced Nathan off the source of Lepis.
I don't know what happened, but some suddenly showed up on Nathan's side and kicked him.
As it was, Nathan hit a tree on the right, further behind it, crashing into a rock wall.
……
I find out who pulled Nathan away from Lepis.
By her side, Rin stood up, it was Thor.
"... Tor?
Thor has a look that does not show any alarm or gaps while stirring his hair in the wind that stands on impact.
Once he looked at me, he nodded once.
Oh, it's Tor.
Thor came to me like he promised.
It's hard to say that you look safe. He's already worn out, and as far as I can tell, he hasn't even finished paying for the risk.
What the hell happened?
What happened to Istarte?
I can't ask that right now.
But I was glad that Thor lived and came to me.
Also, Tor wasn't the only one who visited here.
On the side of Lepis, there are those who hold her up.
"... Solomon?
It was Solomon Twilight.
Solomon was Frezier's general magician, and now he was supposed to be on a mission against the original...
"... Solomon... brother..."
"Well done, Lepis. Gad sent me a message."
……
Lepis lifted his powerless hand diligently and touched Solomon's cheek.
Solomon also adds his own hand to Lepis' hand.
"I... I, already... am tired. Brother."
"Oh. I've had enough. Our role is over… there's no need for Ellis or Twilight to be tied up anymore."
"... is there a place for us to live in peace"
"I'm sure there is.... Come on, Gad is ready and waiting. The three of us, let's get away from it all."
Solomon's expression covering half his face with an iron mask is soft.
With a gentle grin, I hug Lepis.
It's like, I don't think it's the same thing.
After all, these two, they do have two consciousnesses, brother and sister.
Must be two people I know. I have been and will continue to be...
"Lepis, Solomon, go...!
I shook my voice and shouted at them both.
You can go anywhere. I want you to run.
From Ellis, and from sin as a disaster that may be questioned by the two of us in the future.
May the two of you live in a peaceful place, undisturbed by anything.
I didn't understand everything about them.
But that didn't matter anymore.
Haven't you had enough?
Ellis, Twilight, anything else is good.
I know the two of you are just Lepis and Solomon.
Even if this was about unleashing disaster, I believe in you both.
"... Dear Machia"
Solomon looked me in the eye and bowed deeply to see if he had absorbed my will.
And then he immediately held Lepis back, unfolded the metamorphotic magic, and vanished from the scene in an instant.
At the end of the day, I was able to exchange my gaze with Lepis only for a moment.
She was crying.
"... I'll see you somewhere... Lepis"
All this time, all this time, praying only for the future of a girl named Lepis who supported me and Tor, I stared at their disappeared place and gave them words.
