Episode Six: Elphiszark Gildegard

This is the memory of the day of his presence.

A warm memory of a former demon king who was deprived of everything.

- When a new Demon King is decided, the inheritance ritual is executed at Demon King Castle.

And that's no exception, even if the girl is elected Demon King.

That day, during the Demon King's Castle/Inheritance, demons with demons and intelligence were gathered.

Brilliant decoration, layered crimson carpets, lighting that brilliantly illuminates a large room.

It was one girl sitting on the throne, the deepest part of the room where the overflowing demons assembled.

A girl who doesn't even seem to be an adult, who doesn't fit in on this occasion.

Just look on the outside, and some will insult you like that.

But there is no one on this occasion who sees her rise from the throne and holds such emotions.

A golden pair of eyes that look out for everything in the room with glossy silver hair as if it had trapped the starlight.

A pitch-black double angle as if wearing heaven.

And crawling through that skin is a red-stained demon king's crest that proves to be a “demon king”.

Look at her, no one laughs when she's a child.

All breathed, with some exceptions, in its temper to rise from the whole body.

And beside the carpet that leads to the throne stands six demons and one dragon.

Among the girls' men, they are in the highest position.

Included among them are those who take names to the Four Heavens King.

It has already been months since the earlier demon king, Sharnak van Bernaks, lost his life.

It was I who had a dispute with the next demon king over the throne of the demon king inside the demon king's army.

And it was the girl on the throne who twisted the fierce men in line and won the Demon King's throne.

A girl leaves the throne and steps forward.

The demons went out of their way to do it.

No one knows a girl at Demon King Castle.

Former, Demon King Army Four Heavenly Kings - "All Demons".

- My name is Elphiszark Gildegard.

To the word, between inheritances quieted back.

In a painful silence, the girl - Elphiszark continues her words.

"Previously, I have called myself the Four Heavens King“ All Demons ”. But from now on, this is what we're going to call it."

Trying to show off the red demon king's crest running all over his body, Elfiszark declared.

"-" Demon King ”Elfiszark van Gildegard, and"

The words give me a whispering voice.

Neither can those who were swallowed by her temper remain silent if they hear the word Demon King.

A demon king is the strongest of all demons.

Since the birth of the Second Demon King, it has been a constant.

No one complains about the shiatsu.

But there were many dissatisfied with the reign of Elphiszark.

"... a sweet little girl. Lady Charnaque can't float."

"Hey fool......! Loud voice."

It was when the demons next door looked up to those who stood up and voiced dissatisfaction.

- Shut up.

By the words of one man, he calmed down during the inheritance.

Words were uttered by one of the demons standing beside the aisle.

It's Four Heavens “Rain" Feluze Gregoria.

"It's in front of the Demon King. Be mindful of the elephants."

“Rain” has been named to the Four Heavenly Kings since the days of the previous demon kings.

The power inside the Demon King's Army is also very great.

To his words, the demons had to shut up.

"- Demon King, there are two conditions."

Elfiszark opened his mouth, anticipating a quiet return.

"One is the strongest thing. And the other thing is that it is necessary to survive the demonic tribe. Thus dwelt the Demon King's crest in my body, when I fulfilled the conditions laid down by the First Demon King, I was admitted. I'm honored."

The first demon king - it was once the demon king who obeyed all demons.

It is the most powerful demonic tribe ever created by Hardia, the Fallen Light God.

The First Demon King strongly wished for the survival of the Demon Nation and made him express "Mind Magic" during his death.

That's the Demon King's crest - nothing more than the authority to prescribe the next generation of Demon Kings and deal with Demon King's Castle.

"All demon kings to date, including our predecessors, have committed themselves to fulfilling their duty to survive the Demon Nation. Don't be ashamed of the name of the Demon King, when I use all of this myself for the Demon Nation too, I swear by my soul!

The hegemony rose, and Elphiszark proclaimed in high spirits.

The six demons standing beside each other during the inheritance thoughtfully bite that proclamation, and one dragon growls to honor his master.

The applause also came from the venue.

Elfiszark saw the applause stop ringing,

"- Therefore I hereby swear to put an end to the war against man in order to fulfil my duty as demon king"

That's what I told him.

The demons, who do not belong to the faction of Elphiszak, lose their word to the oath.

There is no confusion in Elphiszark about that reaction. Because that's what I knew.

"Few people will be dissatisfied with this policy. In fact, few objections have arrived at me. I understand that the Demon King's Army is not a single rock. That's why, as the Demon King, I want to listen to everyone as much as I can."

After dropping his gaze on a bunch of objections that it had arrived, Elfiszark continued his words.

"Now our Demon King's Army, and the Demon Nation, are more exhausted than ever. Why is that? - Because many people are wounded and continue to lose their lives in a long war with humans."

The war between humans and demons has already lasted for over a hundred years.

The demons are overwhelmingly superior in power, but humans outnumbered the demons by far.

Changing hands, changing goods, changing people, changing places, man is using every means to shred the demon king's army and the wax.

"Our predecessor, the Demon King Sharnak, also lost his life due to the wounds of battle. If the battle continues like this, we will be forced to exhaust further"

In the battle where Sharnak went to the front line, man threw at all costs the troops he had kept warm.

Selectors, S-Rank Adventurers, Protector Mages, and Cathedral Knights.

All nations united their hands and used every hand in their possession to intercept Sharnak.

As a result, Sharnak was fatally wounded and the Demon King's Army was forced to withdraw.

"That's why I'm now looking to negotiate with humans and reach an end to the war agreement"

The belligerent demons in the venue naturally did not look good.

An end to war agreement with humans. This is the ultimate reason why the Demons are unhappy with Elphiszark's reign.

For those who despise humans as inferior species, Elphiszark's policy is not interesting.

"Humans are numerous. Unlike us, even when worn out, we immediately rebuild. Some of the subpeople who had previously decided to be neutral are beginning to join the human army knowing of Master Sharnak's death. There's also information that those ghosts have begun negotiations with humans."

It is a well-known fact that subhuman beings headed by fairy species (elves) are in tune with humans.

Within a short distance, they will also join the human army.

"Some of these will laugh, wondering if you fear the Subhumans. But I do not believe that our demon army will be defeated if humans and subhumans join hands with me. If we keep fighting, we will surely prevail. But when was that? Ten years later, a hundred years later, or a thousand years later. How many demons were left when the last human was destroyed?

The war continues on a century-by-century basis.

It's something we don't know at the moment, like when this battle will end.

With the addition of other races here, we cannot deny, either, that, as she put it, the war could last more than a thousand years.

"Any more battles will only magnify useless damage to each other. Sure, humans are exhausted, too. That's why we have to reach an end to the war with humans now. Faster than humans take sides and get ready for battle!

――――

To the words of Elphiszark, the venue quietly returns.

Nor is the Demon King's Army a single rock, nor does anyone want an end to the war.

Everyone who works for Elphiszak is convinced of her policy.

But there are still not many demons who want human extinction.

Especially those who were subordinates of the previous demon king, Sharnak, have bought strong objections.

Many of those who filed objections would be ex-Sharnakh demons.

"Negotiating with inferior species…"

"... what are you thinking"

"Again... I shouldn't have given the throne of the Four Heavens to such a newcomer..."

The ex-Sharnakh demons speak out of dissatisfaction with Bossoboso in the stirring that spreads to the venue.

Hand down Feluze, who tried to silence him again,

"As I said earlier, I am going to listen to everyone"

Elphiszark turns his gaze to the whole between inheritances.

"- So it is good that those who are displeased come directly to me and say, Keep your room unlocked at all times."

The ex-Sharnakh demons turned a casual blind eye to Elphiszark, who turned a sharp gaze.

Those who belonged to factions hostile to her also dropped their gaze one after the other.

No one could look back at Elphiszak's gaze from the front.

- Except for one.

"... that's it"

Upon finishing his gaze on all the venues, Elphiszark finished his oath.

Naturally, there is a painful silence in the venue.

In that, the patsy little applause echoed.

Make sure you're caught in it, and the applause slowly spreads.

Hearing a sparse applause, Elfiszark flipped himself.

Walk slowly to the exit between inheritances.

…………

Exhale small, remembering the demons who were in the venue.

Among the quiet venues, it soon became clear who the first to applaud was.

Dazzling silver hair, sharp golden eyes, and pitch-black double-horns.

――――

Of all the demons who fly wild, they just never open their mouths, never distract themselves from the sight of the Demon King.

A demon clapping small, just staring at this one.

The name of the man...

- I said Orteguia Zarefedora.

After the inheritance ritual, Elphiszark, along with Gracia, had carried out various post-processing.

The majority of them deal with the Four Heavenly Kings who came to greet us, the Demon Warlords who were able to come to Demon King's Castle, and other powerful demons.

After a conversation with a number of fierce men, Elphiszark and Gracia were finally able to come to the waiting room of their companions.

"Coming in."

Inside the room, her people had already gathered and sat down in a chair.

Also in the back of the room is a black flaming dragon (Carsdragon) lying asleep.

"" Dear Elphiszark! Good luck!

When you enter the room, the two demons rise up vigorously and hang the words of labor.

It's a twin demon clan named Abel and Faye.

Looks just like it, but more than that, words and deeds are synchronized, and few of the Demon King castles get the two wrong.

'... your husband. Welcome back. You looked great.'

Then Blackflame Dragon - Berdia woke up and opened her big mouth.

She is a dragon breed kept as an Elphiszark pet.

He has very high intelligence and admires Elphiszark as his husband.

"Dear Elphiszark, please have a seat first"

Answering the words of labor from his men, Gracia pulled the chair sassy.

"Oh. Thank you, Gracia"

"It's a word without body......! Kuuuu."

Elfissouk sits back in his chair, grinning bitterly at Gracia, who shed tears of gratitude.

"Good luck. I told you in front of all those people, didn't you even get nervous about the boulders?

Smiling and calling out is a demon clan with such a look as Yu Man.

His name is Tor and he is also known as the Four Heavenly Kings “Thundering.

"Hmm, Tor. Who do you think I am?

Elphiszark smiles all the time,

"... so nervous"

Slowly, I lay still on my desk.

"Why are you so fuzzy when you can give all that majesty..."

"Thor! Fatigued Master Elphiszark will be honored too!! Besides, you are still majestic enough!!"

"" Wow, Gracia's usual has begun ""

"What is the usual!!"

With his noisy men on his ass, Elphiszark exhales heavily.

I have had the experience of speaking in front of many of my men as the Four Heavens King, but this was the first time I had spoken in front of all those demons.

Besides, I was also concerned that there might be a rebellion on that spot.

Elphiszak would be the first Demon King to twist down a lined Demon clan and be recognized as a Demon King, but he said, "Make an End of War Agreement with Man" and so on.

Few are dissatisfied with that policy, as the objections received indicate.

I thought there might be a rumbler out there, good or bad, but whoever had the guts to teeth from the front to the "Demon King” didn't seem to be there.

"Are you okay? If you're tired, should I fix it?

"... please"

"Yeah, I got it."

A demon clan with his forehead and his eyes hidden lays hands on Elphiszark.

When its palms glowed, the warm light covered the elphiszark.

Healing magic instantly wipes out fatigue.

"Mm-hmm. Much easier. You're a boulder, Musbelle."

"Yeah. If you're tired, you can always say it"

His name is Musbell.

Even the Demon King's Army has one of the best healing magic arms, and no one will go out to his right.

Thanking Musbell, Elphiszark looks up.

The noisy Gracias shut up perfectly and turned their gaze to Elfiszark.

"Thank you all for your hard work today. Somehow, I managed to successfully complete the inheritance ritual. There are not many problems left, but I believe you can do it. I don't even want you to support me."

For Elfiszark, Tor and the others were the first to be able to call themselves' buddies'.

Until he entered the Demon King's army, none walked the same way, nor could he even deal with one another equally.

That's why everyone here is loving.

"Modesty is too much, such as not even. You saved me, everything about me. I swear to you I will dedicate all of this to you."

"We can only fight, but we will do our best to help Master Elphiszark."

Gracia falls down and Abel and Faye speak forcefully and resolutely.

"... follow your husband all the way"

Rocking his big body, Beldia nodded cocklessly.

"... yeah. I will do all I can to heal for Master Elphiszark."

"I have reached the point where I will make you demon king. I've come this far to make your dream come true."

With that said, Musbell grips his fist and Tor laughs invincibly.

To the words of his companions, Elphiszark broke his face.

- You don't laugh.

Once, the words said in ■ ■ overhead.

Not now, I can tell you with my chest up.

Because we are surrounded by so many of our people.

"But this is the place to start."

"Right."

Tor is right, Elphiszark has a ton of problems.

We must negotiate with humans in order to reach an end to the war agreement.

In doing so, how do we deal with the Church, which will surely be rejecting us?

Also, how to contain a belligerent demon clan.

It's just a problem.

"Tomorrow, first we have to do something about the ex-Sharnakh demons..."

- I'll take care of it.

Momentum opened the door and a man entered the conference room.

The man who shakes the hair of Ethereal Silver is Four Heavenly Kings “Rain” Feluze Gregoria.

"Well, if you're going to cooperate, you can count on me, Feluze."

Forgive Gracia for trying to yell at him for coming in without even knocking, and Elfiszark turns his grin.

"... Demon King, don't make me say it again and again. I'll call you" rain, "or“ Gregoria. "

"Then you won't be mad at me"

"You don't have to be rude. I'm Rain. I'm here to fulfill the nomination entrusted to me by the First Demon King. It's nothing more or less."

I don't want to get used to it, Gregoria muttered without hesitation.

My husband behaved disrespectfully, making Gracia and Beldia look uncomfortable, but Elfiszark smiled, "Well."

"Anyway. The Demon King invests in negotiating with humans. You can't afford to worry about elephants."

"Mm-hmm. I asked you, Gregoria. Don't take care of me."

"... I don't need words for labor. I don't care what your policy is, if it leads to the prosperity of the Demons. So we're just gonna work together for that."

After saying that, Gregoria had a slightly resentful look,

"... and that's all I can do more than you're forbidden to fight."

When I told him to throw it away, Gregoria left the conference room.

"... what a mouth to that man, Lady Elphiszark"

"... hate"

"Don't say that. I do have a bad mouth, but not a bad root"

The blood of Death Heaven, which is considered the beginning of the Four Heavenly Kings, has left behind “rain” and has ceased.

Because most Dead Heaven has died in the battle between “Holy Light God” and “Fallen Light God”.

The first Demon King said he entrusted the future of the Demon Nation to the remaining Dead Heaven.

For this reason, since the death of the first Demon King, "Rain” has served the Demon King and has continued to protect the Demon Nation.

He's just devoting himself to that mission.

"" But that guy's about as strong as Master Elphiszark, isn't he? Are you sure you don't want me to fight you?

The power of “rain” is to be automatically transferred to the next generation of "rain”.

However, that power cannot be used without the permission of the contemporary Demon King.

Elfiszark did not allow Gregoria the power of “rain”.

"That's why. Gregoria is too strong to add or subtract. If you let that man fight once, he won't be the end of the war."

In an attempt to reach an end to the war agreement, there is no doubt that there are people who will launch an attack.

If Gregoria comes out there, there will be no end to it other than killing them all.

In that case, instead of ending the war, the battle will expand.

And it's the same thing with demons and demons.

Assuming there is a revolt, he will wave his power relentlessly.

Put the prosperity of the Demons first. Not really, Gregoria kills too much.

No matter how loyal you are to the Demon King, it was too risky to allow the use of “power”.

'... but I can put the Demon Clan together by that man...?

"I don't think I have to worry. There will be no one who can defy the“ rain ”that can be called the protector of the Demon King's Army."

- One, with exceptions, though.

"Besides, I have a plan, too. Soon with my charisma, I'll show you the Demon King's Army together. I trust you, my Demon King Charisma is perfect!

"... I'm very anxious about that measure, so please give me a proper overview?

"... are you okay? Dear Elphiszark, the key thing is missing..."

"Yep..."

Elphiszark drops his shoulders disappointingly to his anxious men.

Abel and Faye erupt unexpectedly into the way it looks.

Gracia blames it and Beldia comforts her husband.

- This is the memory of the day of his presence.

Looking back at the noisy meeting room, she later recalled:

- Think about it, maybe to me back then, buddies and I were like family.

and.

The smell of meat burning drifts indoors.

It was a diced cut steak that emitted a fragrant smell that tickled the nasal cavity.

"... go ahead"

"Am. Mmmm..."

Gracia carries the steak to the mouth of Elphiszark, where the seal prevents her from moving.

Wearing on the meat at the end of the fork, Elphiszark zeroed a blissful exhale.

"... um! I heard hunger is a better spice for everything, but it's still true! It's delicious, Gracia!

"It's an honor. Oh, even the way you eat, it's beautiful......!

There is a natural reason for not unsealing and for the two of us to be eating.

"Dear Elphiszark, - I will kill Orteguia and offer you your crown again."

After that, Gracia spoke of 'measures to kill Orteguia'.

Soon, she said, the use of the Demon King's Army will come to this fort.

Head with that messenger to the Castle of the Demon King and enter Orteghia's pocket.

In short, this is what happens to Gracia's operation.

Naturally, there are many problems.

First, Gracia has ignored the return order for several days after protecting Elphiszark.

The incoming messenger or Representation of the Demon King Lefiese will ask why.

In some cases, punishment may be imposed.

"So I am trying to explain that I was persuading Master Elphiszark..."

Gracia persuaded him to go down to the Orteguia military gate after protecting Elphiszark.

Now that the majority of the Fifth General's Labyrinth has fallen, the Demon King's Army's power has fallen significantly.

To make up for it, we want Elphiszak back in the Demon King's Army - tell Gracia.

The treatment of Elphiszark cannot be determined by the presence of an apostle.

For this reason, it is necessary to take Elphiszark and Gracia back to Demon King's Castle.

The only reason I don't unseal it is because Lephise and Lucifina don't see it through me.

Lefiese, who continues to be out of shape, will worry about what to do with Elphiszark.

"If Lefiese approves and can dive into the Demon King's Army, ask for an opportunity to start a rebellion. Humans who have run out of labyrinths and have been able to afford it should be attacking within close range. That's how you multiply the confusion and take out Orteguia."

"... what if they refuse?

"In that case, there will be a rebellion before Master Elphiszark is sealed. In the last thirty years, I have accumulated my power of war. I'll explain later, if I serve my wife alone, the two of us will be able to deal with the Four Heavens. It's also possible to stop Lefise."

"You can count on that."

Gracia has struck a lot of fabric to rebel against Orteguia.

With it, it seems possible to reach Orteguia, where you sleep in the deepest part of Demon King's Castle.

"... Originally, when man and the Demon King's Army started the war in earnest, we were going to start a revolt. So you can't say you're ready, but you should have enough chances to win. If you miss this opportunity, it will be harder to even enter Demon King's Castle. So now we have to take action."

…………

"Besides, some Four Heavens Kings are likely to be on their side depending on the negotiations. Never, I don't think it's a bad fight for minutes -"

- Elphiszark could not respond immediately to Gracia's measures.

First, there is a lot of unconfirmed information.

Gracia seems to see a winning chance, but Orteguia is not a sweet opponent.

It's dangerous to fight with 'Heart' not back.

And the enemy has “rain”.

Name Lefiese Gregoria.

Gregoria...... says she is the daughter of Fairze Gregoria.

Never, “rain” is an insult and a good opponent.

Gracia has difficulty overestimating Elphis Zark, so the difference in power with the enemy needs to be checked with care.

Besides, there are feelings of surprise and joy that my men, who I thought were dead, were alive.

Elphiszark, who was exhausted in his battle with Lewsas, could not afford to process this information at once.

Therefore, before I made my decision, I decided to pinch my meal.

――――

While eating, what was on Elfiszark's head were warm memories with his companions.

"... Speaking of which, I've had you bring the food to my mouth before"

"Yeah, I won't forget. It was when Elphiszak was exhausted in his battle with the Cathedral Knight and he was unable to move."

"... because they fight nasty on perseverance... That woman who was in command, she's been ambushing my wife with elephant magic.... I miss that one now too"

When I think back to those days, nature and laughter overflow.

Humans are numerous and ingenious in battle.

Even if the individual is strong, there is little experience of losing the strength of the group.

Still, being one of us could have cut through.

- It fits the Orteguia rebellion, until then.

"... Dear Elphiszark? Are you in a bad mood......?

Unknowingly, he was eating up his teeth hard.

To Gracia's worried expression, go home to me.

"Nothing. I'm fine.... oh yeah"

After answering that, Elphiszark moved his mouth to deceive.

She has the most reliable companion in rebelling against Orteguia.

It was getting so late to ask about him.

"In the Abominable Labyrinth, there would have been a human man with me, wouldn't there? What happened to him?

"Oh. Is that“ brave "?"

Gracia smiled nicely,

"- Don't worry. That brave man was killed by the Four Kings."

In that word, Elphiszark solidified.

"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………?

"It's just a matter of time since Master Elphiszark was protected in the diocese. I also confirmed the body, but it was definitely his."

Gracia doesn't make jokes.

Seriously, she doesn't get out of work.

In other words, the Heavenly Moon Iori.

"Stopped... couldn't, couldn't...?

"Stop...? It was me and Heavenly Wear and Distortion who put their hands on the Brave, wasn't it?

――――

To a frozen elphiszark, Gracia doesn't notice.

"Yes, Io...... eh. What do you mean..."

…… Oh, right. If we did do it well, we could have used it to kill Orteguia. But more than that, that man was dangerous. It would be a shame to turn it off before pointing the blade at Master Elphiszark. "

Proudly, that's what Gracia said out of praise with the look she seemed to want.

Meditate your eyes, and Elphiszark looks up to heaven.

"... what's wrong with you? That man was a slave to killing Orteguia, wasn't he? But the other person is a human, and that's also a" brave man ”. Not knowing when to betray you......!

――――

"Besides, you have me. You don't have to be tough like that anymore."

To the silent elphiszark, Gracia turns her heartfelt worried expression.

When you're okay because you are, you don't have to worry, you say words to support the Lord.

"- Because I will never betray Master Elphiszark."

To Gracia smiling so, Elphiszark trembles his throat.

"... no"

……

To Elphiszark's words like a whimper, Gracia tilted her neck.

"…" The brave man "is not my slave, etc."

"Vagina?... So what the hell is that brave guy?

- He said he was one of us.

In a plundered voice, Elphiszark replied.

"... I am. If that's him, now's the time. I thought I could accomplish a dream I couldn't fulfill."

――――

"In slaves, etc., I didn't say no"

Aside from the Thor and the others who spoke of themselves as the Lord and followed them.

Companions who can support each other and walk in equal gaze.

Together, he sought revenge, a presence that can also be called an accomplice.

"Dear Elphiszark, Companions. Did they say brave men were companions?

"Yes."

"You think that man is one of us, not a tool, not a slave?

I don't have to think about it, I can answer instantly.

"-Io is my precious companion."

――――

――――――

――――――――

――――――――――――――――

"- Huh?"

Gah, and an impact ran on the back of Elfiszark's head.

Sparks scatter, vision dyed white for a moment.

The shock ran again to her, unable to understand what had happened.

"I don't know what that means, Master Elphiszark. Humans are your people? Valued associate? If you were that person, when you could fulfill your dreams, did you say so?

Guns, guns and shocks continuously.

A few seconds after the first shock, Elphiszark finally understood.

- That Gracia is banging herself on the wall with tremendous force.

"Hey, Gray, Shea...?

"Is Master Elphiszark still floating in heat, saying that humans are still demonic and reciprocal, etc? Are you still confused when you say you've given yourself thirty years to calm down in a quiet junction since then?

Like a broken machine, over and over again, Gracia keeps hitting the Lord against the wall.

"... what,"

"What? It's strange, Master Elphiszark. There's no way you're smart enough to understand what I'm thinking. Oh, you haven't been back yet."

I don't understand what Gracia said or did.

What the hell are you talking about?

"Ha... ha..."

Where the wall was smashed, Gracia finally stopped her arm.

With his rough breath, he looks down at Elphiszark.

"When I met you, you never spoke of humans as companions or anything. If Master Elphiszark helped me when he killed my parents by humans and just waited for death!! Haven't you noticed yet!? You were poisoned! To those ignorant fools who truly don't understand what Master Elphiszark thinks!!"

――――

"No way, now you've been poisoned by the" brave "? How delightful. Now you don't know if Master Elphiszark has been in the dark for thirty years!! You should not have killed him lightly, let him kneel before Master Elphiszark's eyes, and let him repent of his own stupidity!! Oh, I could not even then make the fools repent. I'm stupid too, such as repeating the same mistake twice......! But I understand it (...)! Unlike people who don't realize their mistakes!!"

"Gracia......? Really, what are you saying?

On the question of Elphiszark, did Gracia finally return it to me?

"Oh...... sorry. But this is for you, too. Forgive my disrespect."

"... A fool is. Who the hell are you talking about, fool? And what the hell do you mean you don't know what I was into for?"

She shook her lips spicidly and still had to say, Gracia opened her mouth with a determined look.

"Fools are the Tors. Dear Elphiszark, Thor, Abel, Faye, Musbelle, Gregoria, Beldia, none of them understood you. On the contrary, it was the people of the UAE who did not try to impress you in the wrong direction."

――――

"I didn't even try to stop Master Elphiszark from negotiating with humans and others on an equal footing"

――――

"- I (...) stood (...) at the same sight as (...) inferior species like humans, even though (...) I said I couldn't (...) stop the war, etc. (...)"

With a spicy look, Gracia continues.

"You are kind. So when I found out about this, when I was heartbroken, I thought so and kept quiet."

"... Ro"

"but... it won't do you any better"

"... Stop, Ro"

"That's why I'll tell you. Dear Elphiszark,"

"Ya, meh... Don't say that, Gray."

Be pitiful,

- I'm the one who let Orteguia kill Tor and the others.

Gracia said so.
