Reincarnation Monarch

Chapter one thousand six hundred and ninety-seven: Causes of death.

"... Hmm, what's wrong with that?

Ilis said just a little grumpy.

Astalot had a sad look on his face.

"... right. I guess it is for you, isn't it?

Iris frowned and glanced at Astalot.

"You said something, didn't you?

Astaloto exhaled furiously into the questioning tone of Iris.

"No, not particularly."

"Lie. I thought you were nagging like I said."

"Do I look that way?

"Oh, don't you see"

"Right. But there's really nothing special about it."

Iris sent a peeping gaze to Astalot.

"Hmm. So? What's wrong with that campanella?

"Oh. Campanella is the ancestor of mankind. You supposedly drove the Campanella to death. That's why you're afraid of the humans."

Then Iris gave me a much blurrier look.

"... wait a minute. You think I drove Campanella to death?

"Oh, they do"

I didn't kill Campanella, did I?

"Right. You killed Lucifer."

Then I nodded again and again as Illis remembered.

"That's right. Surely it should. I am not involved in the death of Campanella."

Then Astalot nodded again and again this time.

"Right. If that's what you say, I guess the facts were. But that's not what they tell us in the human world."

"Am I supposed to have driven Campanella to death?

Astalot nodded loudly.

"That's right. It was Lucifer who killed him directly, but you're the one who created it."

Then Iris' face was visibly clouded.

"That doesn't make me feel good. I can't help it if I actually had a cause, but it's... unpleasant that they do, even though there's no such thing."

Astalot nodded sympathetically.

"Right. Because it's a crime, so to speak. But if that's what you mean, we demons are more."

Astalot blurred his shoulders and leaked a bitter laugh.

Then Illis smiled bitterly, not even thinking about it.

"Sure. You demons are hated by humans."

"Yes, we are... well, some of us are loathed and deserved."

When Astalot said so, he leaked his sigh and dropped his shoulder greatly.
