That Person. Later on…

The End of 'Black Flame'

Reagan's words reminded me of three people: Black Flames.... What did you look like? Honestly, I can't remember because I was judging by the hair color alone. Well, if Reagan says so, I guess so.

"There's no one in this city right now who can fight an even higher power just because it's an A-rank. I had my hands full in the war..."

Reagan will look at me.

"I think I can handle it. Honestly, I didn't expect you back so soon, but did you hear about the crisis in the city and desist from investigating the mountains?

"Don't be silly. When I got back from finishing properly, the city was in this state."

"Ha?... how many days from the city to the mountains... are you sure it's over?

"That's why you're saying it. The proof is the dragon over my head. By the way, there's no more danger in the mountains."

"... I don't know, stop applying your actions to common sense... that strength..."

Hey, that sounds like my behavior is insane. Rude.

"As I hear the report later...... can we do it?

"No problem. There's Mr. Kayla and Lula in town, isn't there? I took care of you, and I'm going to take care of you. I want to get some rest."

When Reagan nods one at my invincible grin, he sees the adventurers with a strong eye.

"Temeye Etc!! Make way!! Let's get this cleaned up!!

The adventurers look back at Reagan's fury, and when they see me, they pave the way for me and the demons to confront each other. And for the first time, I saw a demon.

I felt a sense of vision in that appearance. I've seen it somewhere. Not much of an appearance as a person already, his eyes are red, his white parts black, his face cracked to crack, his hands and feet swollen up greatly, his nails stretched wide and sharp.

... Similar. The guy I saw in the elf and his appearance were terribly similar. It's like you degraded the guy in the elf.

"Confirm one. Are you sure there's no way to undo this?

"Ah... at least ask not to suffer..."

I couldn't respond to Reagan's sad expression.

"... ahhh... gah..."

You don't even seem to have yourself. When you checked me with six red eyes standing in the way of where you were going, you approached me with those nails wide up.

"Gaaaaaa!!!!"

I did what Reagan said, at least I tried not to suffer anymore, and each buried three of them in one blow. "Bye," he muttered...

A few days have passed since the demon riots. The city was getting its usual buzz back. I sleep at the Windy Light Pavilion, but every night in the esophagus, the adventurers who were there talk about how to fight demons and celebrate what I buried in one blow. Honestly, I'm embarrassed, and I want to eat calmly. Meal was recognized as my squire, surprised at first, but now accepted by the people of the city as well. The adventurers play, so my obedience, which is regarded as heroic for defeating the demon and saving the city, seems to be building a foundation for acceptance. Now walking in the city, the kids stop by to try to feed Meal some sweets, and the street grownups serve a little. The inn asks Kayla to prepare a meal for Meal, but I had trouble trying to feed Lula, trying to feed her out of my own hands every time. I don't think you can do it, so stop. Reagan was in the mountains, and the dragon chased him back, so maybe he wouldn't show up anymore. He told me that Ortolos was in the mountains, and I asked him to complete the investigation. Thirty gold coins. Ha ha. I have a few gold coins myself, but the rest was magically stored in Meal's temporal space. I had nothing to do, so I talked to Orlando, Lula was reluctantly teaching me the inn road, and I loved Meal, but Reagan called me again. Did you do something?

Every time I walked into the Alliance Master's room with Emma's guidance, Reagan waited slightly. I wouldn't be happy to have a tough bald guy like you laughing. By the way, Meal is already sleeping over my head.

"Oh, you're here! Well, sit down."

"Ha..."

Sitting face-to-face, as usual, Reagan put a bag on the table that made him feel a little weighted.

"What is this? Is this why you called it in?

"Ooh! Well, that's one of them. Well, open it up and take a look inside."

I opened the bag and checked inside, and there was a ton of gold in there. Ugh.

"Three hundred gold coins in total. It's all yours."

"... Huh?

"That's the reward of the Demon Crusade: 100 gold coins per unit. That's a lot to pay for just being A-ranked."

"Oh well."

Reagan laughed and told me to take it without worrying about me, knowing all about them. I took it as it was and put the bag next to me.

"And it's strange... there shouldn't have been any magic buildup around here... did you recently do that?

"Come on, even if I ask... I've never seen anything like it."

"That's right... well, I'm going to ask you to do an investigation later on about this -"

Reagan turns a cheerful grin on me that I've never seen before. Stop it. You're disgusting. Makes me want to hit you accidentally.

"Are you free now?

"... I don't have any plans."

"Then let's go somewhere nice."
