The Former Hero Wants To Lead An Ordinary Life

16. Brave men and demon kings are doomed.

Go up to the third floor and look for your own squad.

Each squad had divided the room from the hallway according to their instructions and was directing it. When I find the guys in my own squad who were still in the hallway, I scratch the crowd and rendezvous.

"Cookie! What are you doing? You were the voice, weren't you?

"Oh, well, I'll see you later. Let's get in the room.... What about Suzuki?

Ask about the invisible demon king as he receives his baggage. The little guy would soon be buried in the crowd, so I just looked with my eyes.

But......,

"Huh? Demon King, aren't you with me?

Moment after moment, I could see my gaze pointed myself.

"... we're not together. Is he gone?

"Oh, oh, I thought I went straight to you because I was blind at some point... hey, isn't that a bad idea?

Exactly. Usually energetic weather Uchi also strengthens his face.

"That's not good."

When I felt my gaze and looked at you, Nagaya and the others were watching us.

But as soon as you see me, you look away at me casually.

Intuitively pinned.

(These guys...!

I did something.

Bite your back teeth tightly.

- More so at times like this.

Heavy anger is about to blow, but now it's a waste of more time stuffing them.

The situation was pressing.

I don't even have time to find out where I am.

Besides, it was quicker to find the Demon King myself than to question the Nagatanis.

"I'll find it. Uchis need to stay in the room first. The hallway is dangerous."

"What's wrong with you!

"I'll do something."

"Sato!"

"Sato-kun...!?

Running out the hallway, he looks back over his shoulder at the call of the Tanakas.

"I'm fine. I'll be right back!"

"Come on!

"Be careful!

Responding to an anxious voice with one hand, I ran down the stairs for the first floor exploring the signs of the Demon King.

... I regretted the lack of room that hadn't distracted me until the Demon King.

Think as you go down the stairs to double fly.

Why am I so desperate?

More so to the demon king opponent.

Even though he's a demon king.

He was a demon king.

Why am I trying to help?

I can even abandon it.

Now.

If I didn't know, if you said you couldn't find me, no one would blame me.

Hands on, annoyed all the time, mistaken under the ranks of the unknown demons, pushed down, and badly matched. I don't think he's ever done anything busy before.

Yet...

(Damn... stupid or me...!

With evil in my heart, I still can't stop my legs heading for it.

- I'm human.

He's already human.

A human being with the same color of blood as himself.

If you cut it, you'll have blood, and you'll feel pain, just like me.

It plays without even giving out a drop of blood, whether cut or not, and it's not the same as the former Demon King, who didn't look as good as dew, such as pain, even if cut.

So help.

- No more emotions, not now.

The demon king was in a linen room where sheets and other bedding were kept together.

There was a grasping stick on the drawer in the linen room where it had been found, so that it could not be opened from the inside.

I take it off and open the door wide open.

The demon king was also in a pile of sheets, throwing his feet.

It doesn't look like the wind waving violence, it just seems blurry.

I lost my mind about the swallowing look.... This one says he's been running desperately, but he sounds kind of stupid.

"I don't know about you... why are you so locked up? What happened to the power of the gem? You could've done something with these doors."

"Of course, there's nothing I can't do, but I don't have to, but I was wondering if you'd come looking for me one of these days if you'd wait."

"... don't wait. Please, do something on your own."

Damn..., he lacks nervousness.

Don't let this emergency weaken you.

"Let's go, we don't have time"

I prompted the Demon King to blame, then.

- The mountain roared.

The ground vibrated fine, and I rushed back to the direction of the mountain.

I heard the students' tall screams from upstairs.

It wasn't long after that.

Soil sand burst through the hallway glass and poured into the building all at once. It was like a turbid stream of decimated dams. Standing at the door, I was swallowed from my back by a mass of dirt and sand, unconscious by the shock that struck my whole body, and thrown out into the dark without the art of doing it.

* * *

"... S! Eyes... ah... Ro!

- What?

Shut up.

"A...... S! This... or... thing, how long have you been sleeping!

Uh-huh.

I'm tired. Because of you.

It doesn't always fit the busy eye.

"Aloise! Aloise!

Aloise, Aloise, let it go.

I don 't--

"A... Roy... then S... hey..."

"Aloise! Have you noticed...!

I opened my eyes thinly with a tight crease between my eyebrows.

The demon king was peeking into my face at close range.

- Face, close.

As soon as I tried to push that beautifully shaped bad guy face up and looking up close, the pain ran.

"Ts... ugh. Eh..."

Arms and back,... No. Everywhere hurt so bad that I couldn't identify it as where.

The pain reminded me of the shock that struck me.

- Yes, a black mass slipped in through the window and I was swallowed up by it.

That's right. I'm ready to die, too.

If you were a brave man, there's no way you could live swallowed up by that one now that you're just a human being anyway.

I was supposed to...

(Even if I'm dying, I'm still alive)

My body's not going to be able to move, so I just looked around, and I found out, no, we're trapped in dirt and sand.

In an unnatural state to bury alive.

With a hint of red spherical light, me and the Demon King were protected from crushing death.

The heart of the light is the pendant of the Demon King.

Apparently, one hair at a time, helped by the power of the Demon King.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't help but scratch."

I blinked my eyes at the pompous demon king.

"... but you apologize."

"Naturally."

Is it natural?

Sounds great, but honest as ever. Strange demon king reincarnated into a human being, honest and pure for you to look great.

I don't know the extent of the wound, but it didn't seem like it would kill me right now.

Unsheltered, I guess that gave me a little shelter.

If I had taken a direct hit, I'm sure I wouldn't have gone all the way in a young body in elementary school, so I guess this is where I should be thankful, but I can't be as honest as the Demon King.

For the most part, if the Demon King had managed to do something on his own, I would never have met such an eye, so why not say thank you absolutely.

Apparently we were caught in a landslide, no earthquake flow,...

Apparently, this was the identity of the unpleasant feeling.

Until what happened, I didn't know exactly, either.

I was just staring at whether it would be a flood or a soil and sand disaster because of the soil and terrain.

Then I just thought it would be safer to evacuate to heights than to flee the ground.

Maybe at that time, he was likely hit by a disaster on the way from the lodge to the parking lot where the bus was parked.

In that case, a significant number of students were in danger of fitting the damage.

The crying of parents who have lost their children is immeasurable.

Even in that world, it wasn't just flesh parents selling their kids like my parents. There were also many parents who were raising their children in love and mercy. I've seen the mourning of parents killed by demons and demons so many times that children want to protect them as much as possible.

(Glad I made it...)

The evacuation of the students should have been completed.

I wish there wasn't a guy like us who missed the run...... but let's just say he'll probably be fine.

Literally no hands or feet in the state where I am buried alive.

"How long is the power of the stone going to hold?

"... in about an hour"

An hour.

I hope the rescue is in time in the meantime, but honestly, I think it's a difficult place.

There are other problems with that.

That means that the amount of air left in this narrow space will probably run out faster than the limit. Your breathing is already complaining of bitterness. Suffocation is likely to be more lethal than the wounds sustained with earthquake streams.

"If you were alone, would you be able to get out of the top mound?

"There's nothing you can't do. But you can't protect your body by imitating it like that."

I laughed (from) the sky.

What will the Demon King do when he protects the brave?

"Never mind. I'm done."

I could have lived a short but mediocre life.

At the end of the day, happenings happened that I never thought I would encounter the Demon King, but - now I don't think that was such a bad event either.

"... are you going to leave me again, Alois"

- Well, was Aloys the guy who left you?

That's why you looked so happy when you were reunited, you.

Unfortunately, I was a brave man, not an Aloise, but... maybe a real Aloise is reincarnating into this world and we'll meet sooner or later, good for you, Demon King.

My breath hurts.

"What's wrong, Alois, breathing..."

"The air, no more,..."

"Aloise!? Aloise! Don't hold on!

I'm in so much pain, Demon King, how are you?

"Ugh... what's going on? My chest hurts, too."

... The Demon King was simply dull.

"How inert is the human body to have to taste this kind of suffering without being able to breathe"

What the hell does a guy like the indolent delegate say?

Or was the Demon King fine without breathing? No, I'm afraid not. How far is the cheat?

"You abominable brave man. If only he could seal his power..."

That was a total surprise.

My ears picked up from the gap in the deafening breathing noise that the words of resentment were spouted from the mouth of the demon king to the brave man.

"Such debris, what can I do with my power...!

My heart hurt tightly.

From there, I feel tingling heat.

To the emotional dawn of the Demon King, as if to echo.

- Sealed?

- The brave one?

- All together, what are you talking about?

"A brave man... what...?

I was asking reflexively.

Forget the danger of finding out.

I even temporarily forgot how painful my breath was.

I have a bad feeling about it.

You asked yourself, I was afraid.

I don't want to hear it.

... Better not ask.

But somewhere in my heart I knew.

That's a very serious key point.

"My power is sealed by the brave, so even if I don't rely on this kind of stubborn means, - a small stone, etc., killing a brave man somewhere in this world should set my power free."

... whatthats.

Why reveal such an important thing during this desperate time?

Tell me that from the start.

That's why you're the Pimboke Demon King.

- What the hell, that.

There was no way I wasn't hated.

There was no way he wasn't resented.

Because I killed him.

I slaughtered you with this hand.

Kill me and the seal will be lifted and the Demon King will be resurrected?

... I'm dying soon.

Then you will rise as the Demon King, and become the Demon King?

In this world.

In this Japan.

Are you kidding me?

... I'm not kidding.

Will you let me do that?

I think so.

My body will be scratched, and I will already be able to do so much with the bug breath.

Where I could, - can I kill this little, weak demon king?

(I don't feel I can kill you at all...)

Let him eat lunch, climb the mountain with his back, prepare him all the way to honey, come and help him with his life, - how am I supposed to kill someone like that?

(Ah, no more. You don't have enough oxygen in your brain)

The answer was flashing (flickering) slightly with an acid deficient head.

Thoughts are no longer bankrupt as to whether or not they are right.

I don't know what a busy hand I derived from a broken thought, but I opened my mouth with guts while forgiving my rough breath.

"Terre"

It was deliberate to call his name.

To distract him at all, I called.

I, the coward, lay shackles on the demon king.

Though I don't know how effective that will be on him.

I've been taking care of you, and I hope you've listened to my last words, okay? Demon King.

"Live as a person"

- As a person.

Even if I die and the Demon King's powers are released.

I want you to live as a person in this world.

... because I'm sure it's happier.

I don't care if it's a discretionary decision, I wanted you to live as a human if you were born as a human being.

I think humans want to go out too.

Some of them are like Uchi.

Tanaka and the others are alleys, but good ones.

There are other things I'm sure you'll like.

The world is huge, and I'm sure some of you will like you.

In fact, the ones in my class accepted your presence at some point.

Wouldn't have been bad, would it?

Whether you're a little freak or have a medium two disease, it's not just the frustrating ones.

Some of them are in your favor.

... Oh, but you're human now, so you're gonna die with me?

If I die first, the seal will be broken, and you will survive?

- I knew I was worried about leaving you.

Are we gonna die together again?

Like in previous life.

Die with me, reborn with me.

Me and you were a lotus student.

Ha ha, fate is crazy.

A community of destiny between enemies. Oh, my God.

Even with his lid open, his vision grew dark and shady.

The face of the demon king, who distorted his face as if to cry, gradually blurred.

Yabe, I can't believe it.

I can't stop tinnitus from earlier.

Maybe not at last.

I no longer even know if I'm breathing properly.

There was a loss of power from my body a long time ago.

It's just the only...

All that remained was the feeling that something was holding a strong hand.

"Alois...!? ALLOIS...... don't pass away! I won't forgive you!

So how many times do I know it's not Aloise? Misunderstood Demon King. You are the brave enemy of hatred. I won't tell you if you die, though. Zarami.

"Don't hold your breath without my permission!

That's the Demon King. You're so lame.

"... don't die! Kakel!!"

At the end of the day, he finally called my real name.

This desperate situation made me laugh a little.

- What, you know my name right?

That was the last thing I thought before I closed my mind.
