Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
25: Canon, Naruto and Salvation.
My name is Canon...
Sure, it should.
No, it was Hadefis...
I don't know which name indicates me anymore.
It was a colder place than I've ever felt.
"I see... is this Naruto"
It fell out of a dark muddy place.
I somehow know that it's impossible to get back to the ground.
Cloudy red is flowing through the dull sky.
It's like there's gas buildup and you're losing your way.
Much more than the land of death, it's a place of nothing.
If there's a world that's over, this must be the sight.
I wasn't going to look for a way back to the ground, but I was walking for now.
You can say you were wandering.
Keep walking in the wilderness everywhere, in one of its own.
On the horizon, a red sky, similar to dusk, draws a girdle in a low place, in the form of being driven into a dark cloud.
I thought it would all be darker and more comfortable for me.
Magiliva... No, Machia was reaching out to me at the end.
You look like you're gonna cry, get desperate.
All this time, I couldn't take that hand.
How good it would have been to take her hand again.
But if I did, I might have decided to pull her over here.
I ended up accepting the status quo without touching her or telling her anything.
'Then that would have been nice... for the rest of my life, alone here... no one would interrupt me...'
The clutter came to mind and disappeared.
It's like a devil's whisper.
The voice probably belongs to the Blue General...... Ellis. If this place is Naruto, would it be better such as Kaios?
That's a pain in the ass.
I don't care anymore.
'Until the end, you're just a working ant. Far from happy'
"Victims Are Always You"
'She will not choose you. No matter how hard I try, I don't even notice your thoughts. miserable and hilarious Hadefis'
Though I don't care, those words remain in my ears.
"Stop."
Without ever accepting the words, I kept walking away from them.
No matter how far you go, there is no end.
A place where eternal solitude and permanent bitterness always loom upon you.
Gradually, his temper waned.
When my consciousness was far away, with a blurred gaze, and I still kept walking, there was a single tree growing on the dead earth.
"This... is a fig..."
When there was once a land of death, it looked just like the fig tree I had raised dearly.
The consciousness that I was about to lose returns.
If it's the same view of Naruto no matter where you go, let's live alone quietly at the root of this fig tree, as it once was.
You don't have to think about it anymore.
No one's happiness, no misfortune, no need to think.
You don't have to kill your loved ones.
You don't have to hate the haters.
You don't have to have hard feelings.
I'm sure this time Magiliva will be happy on earth......
It's only if you think so, this place isn't bad either.
For once now, let's cut off from the earth and end up with beings melting into darkness.
I lowered my back to the roots of that fig tree to rest the body I was dragging.
I was getting less and less of a sense of my body in the cold.
'In time, your body rots and you become just a concept. It must be the concept of death.'
……
'There will be haters. Those who cut themselves off, forgot, and pursued only their own happiness… everyone is happy with your death'
"Shut up."
'Why don't you think you're the only one who's so miserable? There will be nothing more hateful than the happiness of others'
……
"You're a lifetime... a lifetime of unhappiness"
I wonder how you can hear these words.
In the multiple voices of those who were things called Ellis, they are heard.
Eventually, however, the voice realized that it was his voice.
Do I consider myself unhappy...?
That can't be right.
I was able to finally fulfill the wish I had since the Mythological Age.
'But it was certainly a painful wish... but at the same time it would have been a joy, wouldn't it? Whatever, I was doing everything for your loving girlfriend'
……
"Wishes, when they come true, can turn into something that doesn't really taste good."
"... hehe. Perhaps so."
In fact, I'm being attacked by nothingness.
The cause and effect of the Demon Kings, who have been watching for so long, was, after all, the bond that connects us.
I thought it was for Magiliva, and I kept holding the wish...
Because this was the only thing I could do and my connection to her.
It was hard to chase the reincarnated Magiliva and kill her.
But at the same time, I was delighted to see her.
Because she hated me, and the reason she came at me, was something I would never hold on to Klondor.
But from now on, there's nothing.
Magiliva believed me and broke the great tree.
The fact that the laws of the world have been broken has eliminated the one thing I need to do.
I was already tired.
"I'm tired already... so I'll be here all the time, alone. There is no untrained ground..."
"Really?"
"Oh. It's true... I'm tired. Let me sleep."
"Really?"
".................. oh"
He held the sword of death in his chest and rounded his body.
I couldn't help but be cold. I wanted something to flatter me.
A bright red ripe fig, which became the tree behind him, eventually became the fruit of a black pomegranate.
Had the fig fruit ever been transformed into pomegranate when Magiliva found out she was marrying Krondor?
What the hell was that?
Has the untrained to the unspoken Magiliva in me been reflected in these nuts?
I never got paid, just one love affair.
"You're miserable... I am"
Full of painful grin.
Sort of good. No one, nothing more to know.
Slowly close the lid.
There's no one here to find me anymore.
No one will ever find you.
That's good.
I'm tired.
To my relationship with people, to my unrewarded thoughts, to my unresponsible wishes... to my powerless self.
So I'm here forever.
If you can forget everything here, that's fine.
"... Really?
……
"Are you sure that's good? Hadefis."
……
"Is it your real wish to forget everything here?
Behind his eyelids, a glimmer of red light ran.
You were asking me earlier, my own whisper had eventually become a familiar, loving voice.
My true wish...
I slowly opened my eyelids to such glare.
In front of me, a very nostalgic figure peeks into my face.
I think she's a Rin redhead girl, but she doesn't look good with the light on her back.
"... Magiliva...?
Was that a remnant of my memory?
The figure, once, was Magiliva when we first met in Mayday. It was the silhouette of a young girl.
"... Stand up, Hadefis"
Magiliva reached out.
The sight I took of that hand resembles exactly the first act of salvation when I first descended upon the land of Mayday.
"... Magiliva?
"Stand... Stand, Hadefis"
I came to this world hoping to be happy.
Me too, I should have.
You were trapped in a dark hole, made death present, and desperate to pray.
I don't like this world. I want to be saved. I want to be happy...
Hoping to be happier than anyone else, I should have come to Mayday.
……
Stand up slowly.
Even if it's cold and your body doesn't move, even if your legs hurt, only your feelings are led to her in front of you, and you get up.
Magiliva smiled.
I'm just saying that now, everyone has reached their first, pure wish.
"Don't give up on being happy... Hadefis"
Across Magiliva, a silhouette of eight nostalgic boys and girls was waiting for me.
............... Non
... Cannon... Cannon...!
"Canon!!
He was called by name so strongly that he swayed his body.
"Canon!! Don't go to sleep!! If you go to sleep, you'll die!!
"Stupid Machia!! Don't rock it so hard. If Kanon dies, it's your fault!!
"Yeah, you're so loud, Thor. I have to force you to regain consciousness, we'll all freeze before we get out of Naruto!!
……
The noisy voices called me Cannon and I had to wake up even though I didn't want to.
Until just now, I was touching the shadows of the comfortable and nostalgic, and it's ruined.
"Kanon, Kanon, wake up or you'll die."
"Hey Machia. Don't be smart."
There was a violent woman who grabbed my head and kept coming down, so I grabbed him by the arm and stared at him.
"My head hurts..."
"Oh, I'm up."
But the woman, for some reason, is good at it.
Red Witch...... it's Machia. She is.
"Hey Cannon, you okay? You, you were down here. My body was getting cold, so I was in a bit of a hurry."
……
Next to the woman, there was a brunette.
"Tor Sagaram......"
"Huh? Oh, yes......... Huh?
Tor that feels like he replied because he was called by his name.
"Ah, yes. Not at all."
"Ugh. If they call me by my full name, I'll get back to you."
"I didn't have a way of responding. If I don't get back to you, you won't be able to make it."
"Ugh. I'm a king now."
……
This place is Naruto.
Looking over the surrounding scenery is never moving to another location.
And yet, the two of you who say whatever's right in front of me are indisputably “the” two.
The two who inherit Klondor and Magiliva. Thor and Machia.
"I'll say it often. You're putting the risk behind you, the debt and the interest of a king."
"Hey, who the hell is to blame for being me with all this debt and interest..."
"I'm amazing too, by the way. The Magic Residual is always negative. I'm sure you'll keep paying for this every time your magic recovers for the rest of your life. Bad financiers pay amazingly."
"It's going to be tough..."
"It's not hard......!
Ultimately, they seemed to understand that they were in a similar condition.
I thought they showed me some good crazy talking fights, but they are indisputably the two I admired.
".................. Phew"
"Oh, Kanon laughed"
Machia dyed her cheeks for some reason and she swelled up.
"Why are you angry while you're lit up?
Tor just clings.
"Shut up. Shut up! For a moment, I thought you were busy with the brave ones!
"... are you mad at me"
"That's right, Canon. I'm mad at you."
Machia poked her finger at the tip of my nose.
"You know how scared I felt because you helped me out on your own and fell into Nara on your own, dying on your own? I thought I might be able to help you. It was really hard and painful....... I was really worried!!
"............ what?
For the sake of his great tone, Machia was showing less than half her worries.
When I look at Thor, he looks angry and half laughing, just telling him to go out with him.
"So, Canon. Look, stand up. … let's go back to the ground together as we walk with absolute support"
……
She also told me to "stand" and I was reached out.
I've been staring at her little hand for a while.
Machia keeps reaching out and talking.
"Hey, Cannon. We're still“ from now on "...? Did you know that?
"... from now on...?
"That's right. There must be memories, bonds, memories you can make. There's no law of the world..."
……
I was unconsciously taking Machia's hand.
I fluttered trying to get up.
Supported by Thor, he still managed to stand.
Are we going to...?
We don't have a “coming” to repeat anymore.
As the Demon King, you have only one more time in your life.
But maybe that's why you want to have hope “in the future”.
Though it could be a really, momentary time for me to have a huge memory of my time for the rest of my life to come.
Because “from now on” is certainly not the same as “until now”.
"From Nara, can you go home...?
"Oh. I remember the memory of the Mythical Age.... and the way to Naruto. Lilith is eating Ellis' share of soul that was in Nathan, and he's making his way through it in material.... so I could pick you up"
"... Thor, you"
"Ha... you'll have a lot to say to me. Fine.... We're going to talk a lot."
……
Thor had a different face.
I got over something big...... I feel like I can do that.
Until now, this man, who was somewhere unstable and dangerous, also seems to have finally reached a place by taking all his memory self and overcoming its burdens.
"I... We've done something that I can't make amends for you. Apologizing now won't get your huge time back. Even you might say you don't need our atonement... but this is for real. I want you to do whatever you can."
"Neither do I. I didn't really remember... but I do. What I let you carry... what you did for me. So......"
……
Thor and Machia were saying that to me, supporting me from both sides.
I guess these two have no choice but to feel guilty about me.
That's what these guys are...
"... no..."
I just shook my head.
"I've... had enough.... you just came here, enough is enough"
……
"... Cannon?
I couldn't raise my face.
These two picked me up in this darkness.
Maybe Tor and Machia now don't know how much salvation that was.
But Magillie, Va...
You'll see.
A warm hand to get me out of there, without being able to get out of a dark place, with nothing but despair.
That's something I've always been in love with.
I have a safe place to go home to.
We finally return, wandering and wandering the world, the times, even our lives.
"Don't give up on being happy... Hadefis"
The voice of the girl, who kept admiring her, blurred her ears again, far away, passing by.
I only look back once.
A girl was dropping off my back with a death sword that had buried many demon kings.
I felt like I saw such a phantom, but that was still my fault.
It's a world of fallen, where nothing but voidness remains.
Klondor's magical fortress, the Naruto Hourglass, turned backwards and sandy at our feet.
Sucked into this, we're going back to the ground.
……
Phantom or whatever.
The moist vision did show a deep red light.
Oh...... let's promise...... Magiliva.
There is hope. No more despair.
Until the last moment I left here, I dropped it off.
