Episode Eight: Meet

When I was a child.

On several occasions, Elphiszark has miscontrolled his powers.

The “demon” that dwelled all over his body is powerful, and so is the recoil.

Tears and fractures may still be good, and your arms and legs may blow up.

At that time, I knew about two things.

The first is that I am pain resistant.

Even if he had a tough flesh, the pain is no different from the others.

If my bones break, it hurts, and if I lose my limbs, I can't breathe.

But Elphiszark could have kept it patient and not put it on the table.

Apparently, he was born more tolerant of pain than the others.

The second is that it can be regenerated immediately wherever it is wounded in the body.

In an attempt to tear meat, break bones, and lose limbs, Elphiszark quickly blocked the wound.

No matter how badly the wounds are, they heal early, hours, or even later, within a day.

Later this ability of his own found out that enormous magic was the reason.

There are theories, but it is said that magic is the source of life and the bones that make up this world.

If you possess more than a certain amount of magic, it seems that magic automatically fills the lost parts of your flesh.

In addition, even if he dies, his soul will not disappear or be sent to the underworld, and it seems even possible to revive him by hanging on for years.

Most importantly, if you are wiped out without a trace by more magic than you possess, or if you give up living in person, that doesn't seem to be the case.

In fact, the immortal demons that existed in the past are not in this world today.

Though.

It's no different that Elphiszark is a pain resistant and healing agent for any wound.

"... ooh"

At the bottom of the valley in the northeastern part of the demonic kingdom, there was Elphiszark.

Groaning small, rolling slowly.

He dyed his surroundings red with a hole in his left eye and a good amount of blood flowing from his abdomen, and he was also bloodstained.

A day has already passed since I was attacked by a mysterious monster.

The wound should have healed perfectly by nature, but the elfiszark wound was barely blocked.

I don't know the cause.

But that chemical attack took away not only the flesh, but also the magic.

Perhaps that's affecting it.

"... eh"

I have no strength in my body and no voice.

The wounds are blocked a little bit, but at the current pace it will take a few days before you can get moving.

Not very much, but I can't afford to wait for it.

It doesn't necessarily mean that that chemical doesn't come down to the bottom of the valley.

If you are attacked by demons at this time of lack of magic, the boulder involves your life.

Normally bearable wounds are also fatal if eaten now.

Apparently, a lot of time had passed while I was unconscious.

I could see the sun leaning in.

From afar, I hear multiple demon howls.

At least we have to hide ourselves somewhere.

"......"

No matter how much force you put into it, your body won't move.

My throat is making a swollen voice and my vision is shaking obscurely.

Because the wounds have reached the brain, thoughts don't get caught up well either.

"Shh... no...?

That was the first real sense of death that Elphiszark felt.

Even if Elphiszark dies, it is possible to come back over the years.

Not only the inheritance I have heard, but also the certainty that it is possible for me.

But Elphiszark didn't want to die.

I don't know how long the hell it will be before I can come back.

Besides, I haven't done anything yet.

I don't even know what it means to be born and I don't want to die comically in a place like this.

"... ugh."

Such thoughts never take shape, and the body is still powerless.

There's nothing I can do, just before the sun tries to hide in the mountains -,

"- Wow, wow. Oh, my God, someone's down!

What I heard was a girl's voice.

Tilt his neck slightly and manage to gaze at those who hear his voice.

――――

- It was a human girl who was looking at this one with her eyes open.

"Hey, Ferna. You know what you're helping?

"That's how much I know. It's a demonic girl, isn't it? Look at this black horn and you'll see in one shot!

"... it's not. I'm asking why I helped the Demons. I've told you many times to stay away from the darkness."

- Warm magic envelops the body and enters.

I somehow found out that it was something called healing magic.

Heavy pain is relieved and body wounds are blocked faster.

It was my first experience of being cured by someone, but it's not outrageous.

Currently, Elphiszark is in a simple cabin.

I'm in the middle of getting treated for being put to sleep on a bed made of wood.

I can't grasp the current situation and now I'm pretending to sleep.

"Why are you saying such mean things? If anyone is in pain of being scratched, it would be pathetic if you didn't help them, wouldn't it?

"Ferna's kindness is preferable, but what if his opponent is the Demon King's Army? If you see them as humans, they'll come at you without saying whether or not they're human."

"I can't believe you're sweet, thank you. That's how I worry about Rye. I like it."

"... eh. That's not what we're talking about!

Keep swinging asleep and open your eyes thinly.

The two of us talking in front of each other, I was very concerned.

The quiet girl, apparently, is called Ferna.

A human girl with fluffy brown hair and crisp red eyes.

It's apparently this girl who hangs healing magic on herself.

And the other is a boy called Rye, who is being teased and blushing.

He is about the same age as Ferna and features shorter blue hair and wolf-like shiny teeth.

He's the one who brought Elfiszark this far, even though he told Ferna a novel.

To these two, Elphiszark took a strong interest.

The same goes for Ferna, a human being, who helped herself, a demon race, but more than that.

The reason is that Rye, who is amiable with Ferna, is a Demon (...).

The area that touches the white eye is dyed black and the eyes glow yellow.

Also, four up and down from his mouth, sharp fangs were popping out.

I knew with one eye that Rye was a demon tribe.

Humans and demons, if they look at each other, kill each other with that alone.

It was very interesting that those two races were having a friendly conversation.

Thanks to healing magic, my strength came back to my body.

My left eye vision still doesn't return, but the empty wound on my abdomen is already blocked.

Confirming that the two of them were not hostile to themselves, Elfiszark slowly opened his right eye.

"Oh, good. You woke up!

There is no fright in Ferna's expression, which she has peered into with a relief look on her face.

Even though Elphiszark recognizes himself as a demon, this human being is not scared.

"He was down at the bottom of the valley, so I brought him here. I was wondering what to do when I saw my belly and eye wounds but glad they helped me with healing magic! You're healing so fast, I'm surprised."

to Ferna with an uncontrolled grin,

- Man, why did you help me?

Elfiszark inquired in a low voice.

Shortly afterwards, Rye, who remained silent until then, pops forward to shelter Ferna.

"As you can see, I'm a demon. You guys are supposed to be in a hostile relationship?

Tingling air spreads through the cabin and Rye holds the weapon in his rear hand.

"- It's only natural to help people in need. I don't think it matters if you're a demon or a human being."

In that, Ferna answered flatly, as if to preach common sense to the child.

――――

Unexpectedly, Elphiszark was stunned.

In an earlier conversation, Ferna said something similar to Rye.

But I didn't think I could say the same thing with the Demons in front of me.

"Ah...... Could it have been annoying to help?

Ferna has an uneasy look and begins to soften.

In such a way, for some reason, your body loses power asexually,

"... no. As it was, it was life-threatening. Thank you for your help."

"Look. I wish it were.... No, that's not good. You've got such a big scratch... are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Ferna immediately gives herself a worrying look while it was also the bundle that made her face shine through to Elphiszark, who honestly conveyed her gratitude.

"Uhm," Elphiszark nodded, admiring the corny and changing look on the inside.

"The wounds aren't blocked yet, but the pain is much easier. It will be only a matter of time before the wound is completely blocked."

"- Right. Now, let's hear it before the wound cuts off."

Shortly afterwards, a sword had been poked at the neck of Elphiszark.

It's Rye who peels out his fangs to intimidate him and stares sharply at this one.

"Ferna says this, but I don't trust you"

Naturally, I agree on the inside.

Stranger, it's weirder to approach hostile races indefensibly.

"Hey, Rye!

"Ferna shut up.... you, what demon tribe. You from the Demon King's Army?

"I didn't join the army. But the village I lived in is under the protection of the Demon King's Army. Not far into the future, I will also be joining the army"

Shut up Ferna, who speaks up, and Rye inquires in a low voice.

Rye frowned at Elphiszark, who answered honestly with his sword poked at him.

"You don't belong to the Demon King Army yet. Then why were you in such a place?"

"I was traveling in the realm of the Demon King. We stopped by this neighborhood along the way. So he was attacked by black matter and dropped at the bottom of the valley."

black compounds, I could see the expression of Rye and Ferna changing to the word.

From what we're seeing at each other, we seem to know something about you.

"Whatever it is, I've been helped. I'm not going to hurt you."

…………

It was a ray staring at this one, as you can see.

"Here, Rye. He just got hurt, so don't ask too many questions. Grab that mess. It hurts when you hit it."

"... ha. When I'm dealing with you, I don't get nervous."

He sighed at Ferna's words and slowly lowered his sword.

The alert still doesn't seem to have been lifted, but the hostility that was on the table lurks the ringing.

"Besides, it's okay. She doesn't do anything that hurts us either. Right?"

"... Why, I think so. Me and you must have just met."

"I'm confident in the way I look at people. I can't believe you're such a sweet, good person."

On the inside, I agreed with Rye's words earlier.

Talking to this girl doesn't keep me nervous.

It was a strange weakness that I had never felt before.

"... Elphiszark Gildegard"

"Huh?"

"Name. I'm Elphiszark Gildegard."

to the name of Elphiszark. Ferna glistened her face pah,

"I'm Ferna Grande! Nice to meet you!"

I happily named myself too.

Then he sends his gaze to Rye, who was silent, urging him to name it.

- It's Rye Granberia.

Rye sighed again as he gave up, quietly naming him.

Ferna Grande and Rye Granberia.

- This is how I met them.
