The Former Hero Wants To Lead An Ordinary Life
62. The Brave Talk
Beginning in the morning, the start time had already passed when he made a rough trip back to his room, a ladder between the wind discipline room and the student council room, fluttering. Of course, he doesn't look like Rokkaya.
Honestly, I feel so bad that I don't even get the energy to go to school, but - I have a situation where I have to hit the help I can hit sooner.
I don't know if I can mislead my brother's eyes off myself, but the only option is to do nothing. It's my policy from my last life to scratch as many feet as I can scratch, no matter how much.
… the ears are good when it comes to policy, but it is well understood that it comes from sheer prenatal evil.
"Terre"
I called on the Demon King in a conversation as I changed into my uniform.
Originally, "reading" was a special ability that could only be used by a limited number of people in previous life.
In particular, there are a number of conditions that are necessary for a fixed mindset to limit the person in this way.
Firstly, that either party has the power of the sensory system and combines the dexterity of freely manipulating it.
Furthermore, in order to carry out the transmission at the pinpoint, a "bond" with that other person must be established.
"Bonds" are mainly blood ties, deep subordination, or lovers to each other. But just because you have a deep connection doesn't mean you can definitely read even with those relationships. I mean, compatibility matters.
This time, it seems that Pierce plays both a "bond" and a "power" role.
... should never be compatible with you and the Demon King.
By the way, although I've had several reading experiences in my previous life, the other guy was out-of-person (not a demon tribe), and the conversation wasn't as smooth as the Demon King's.
Based on that, once again, Pierce's ability to talk is actually a very convenient mechanism for me.
This way, you can call and communicate your will without even talking to the Demon King directly.
Maybe the pros are bigger than the cons.
... Still, I can't keep doing this.
No matter how convenient, I know how dangerous it is to have the Demon King's "Mark" on it.
The clergyman was losing his magic sensing abilities.
I don't know how powerful my brother is in this world, but I guess it's not zero at all to see from what he's said and done so far.
In fact, my brother noticed with aim that Pierce was endowed with some "power".
I've heard of spills before that there's no healing power, but that's just self-declaration. There's no way to make sure it's true.
... No, there is a technique to be sure. It's easy.
You can ask your brother directly.
But I'm still hesitant to take the pivotal step.
If you're talking about an unusual past life, I've spent no time touching anything directly involved in the Demon King's Crusade, even if I let you talk about it lightly.
My brother is drawing such feelings from me. And I've always been sweet about it.
(... I guess this is why they say "I don't believe")
Believe it or not, I'm sure I believe in my brother.
Maybe even before I was reborn.
Beyond the dimension of likes and dislikes.
Among the "line of brave men" with cloudiness, among other things, as a rare person who can safely deposit his life.
But when it comes to revealing everything in your heart because you have trust, - that's not true.
Sometimes I can't tell you because I believe you.
You can't wind up with my brother on my own.
I have enough back-cutters.
My brother is a belly black, he's a d s, he's a tough bracon on his (grooming), he's a glasses fetish, he's disgusting, poisonous tongue, he's subtly mixed with perverts on radio waves, but that's where the roots are like former clerics, he's a good, emotionally thick person. I don't want to put extra effort on my brother who is worried and family thoughtful enough to bother picking me up at the station on my boarding day.
The long battle against the "Demon King" was not easy enough to flow into the water just because he was reborn. Even I would have handled it more differently if the Demon King when we met in this world was so small, so weak, so unreliable to even live and not even abused by children.
And I can't tell my brother, who doesn't know those years, to understand the "demon king," and even now he never does when it comes to whether I believe in the demon king.
Even if I can trust my brother, I can't trust the Demon King.... I always suspect the Demon King.
Doubtfully, I can't shake that hand off.
It's terribly halfway, vague, and impudent.
- So if you're going to cut me off, it would be better for my brother, I'm sure.
I'm sorry about the last two dances.
(You know... I'm not kidding.)
A cleric who has taken the path of a brave man.
If it keeps you away from your brother, it's a wish or a fulfillment.
- That's what I told myself, and I let go of the pain that twitched in the back of my chest.
(Hated or neglected in my previous life) I was fine rarely.)
It is something that will change if it changes.
"Ter, hey Ter. Answer me.
He called out to the Demon King again, as he had not responded after changing into his uniform.
'............... what a kakel. Did you call him?
After a while, the slightly obscure response finally returns.
'I've called you many times since just now. React. "
"... I fell asleep"
"... you've already started class"
The sign of the Demon King is already felt from around the F school building, not the dorm.
I'm not sleeping in a dorm, I guess I slept in a classroom.
... but even if you were asleep, in the case of the Demon King, it would be an amazing advance just to be in the classroom.
"I'm bored because I didn't."
"Take classes properly."
"Why not?"
"... there's something going on here. I'll be there by the second limit."
"Come quickly. Bored. '
'You...... Well no. You can't talk to me for a while, of course. "
"Why?
"... that I won't allow you to do your job easily."
You mean the stone I gave you?
"That's right."
"What's wrong with stamping my possessions on mine?"
Has it come with a mark of ownership? This guy still has a demon king at his root with this guy. It's a headache. No offense, I guess it's more of a natural consciousness for the Demon King. Perhaps the Demon King's feeling is only to the same extent as putting a collar on a dog.... Probably one of the means to keep me from falling off this time when I disappear.
But I'm not a demon king's dog.
'It's bad. I don't belong to you. Don't treat me like I own anything. "
"... you belong to me"
"Voice" mixes with unfaithful emotions. Like I don't want to know if this childish appetite for exclusivity is because I'm "Aloise" or directed against one human being named "Kakel"...
Wouldn't this mysterious obsession with me disappear if the real Aloys showed up?
That way, I'll be a paycheck box.
If you're reincarnating into this world, why don't you just come out, Aloys?
'For now, just put a bell on me and be satisfied.... If you need anything, pass this piercing through, like this morning. So it's nasty to talk directly or act together'
'... it's good to talk like this, why not talk directly? Isn't it the same?'
- You're sharp with the demon king's ass. I wish this was the time to show off the pin mess.
'... you think I'm not even a little angry when I'm forced to pierce you?
'... are you angry?
"You've decided to be angry, haven't you?
"Right..."
"Anyway, I don't want to hear your voice for a while, and I don't want to see your face."
It's a terrible thing to say.
But I'd be more certain to distance myself from the Demon King if I told you this much.
While my brother and Wind Discipline were watching me, I should have been cautious.
'... generally, you're not reflecting properly. I told you to think about it yesterday. Have you thought about it a little bit?'
'Your will belongs to you, and if I'm not allowed to twist it,... that's what you're saying?
A little surprised.
No, I was pretty surprised.
'... you gave it a good thought. But it's not just about me. Against Rokkatani and against everyone else.... you know, that wouldn't just be an allusion'
Six Valleys?... Oh, you're in the same room. What do you mean it's not just an allusion?
'What... You don't know how effective I am...!?
'Cause I've only used it to sneeze when I'm in trouble. I don't think there has been any sequelae or other effects since the implication... but did something go wrong?'
Isn't it horrible because it doesn't cause glitches?
Rokkaya was very naturally returning to everyday life without anything. I was even given a reason to think it would suit me.
What a convenience implication. Its power will no longer be invincible...
"... when you're in trouble, by the way?
"Mostly it's time for disturbing people to find out."
……
"Somehow, wherever you are, that's the kind of guy that comes by."
- If this is an implied restraining order, why don't you go fuck yourself, Demon King?
They're going to grab me and sell me out here in no time. It's superb if you just look on the outside, and if you do it, you're getting horny... - The contents are still pinned, though.
Besides, he flirted unconsciously and freely everywhere.
What a troublesome, annoying guy.
(... no. Were the guilds after you in middle school too...?
I didn't think Nishi-kyujo was the Demon King, so when I heard about it, it was as casual as a story, and I shrugged it off as a "rare beast," but... "rare beast" rather than a "demon king".
It doesn't seem very nice for the Demon King to be caught by the Alliance. It's just a hunch.
I don't know what that organization is...... so frigid. Apart from what it means to be a nest with two diseases, my sixth sense tells me I shouldn't be involved.
'... in the meantime, don't use' implication 'or' force 'in a slightly different way than in a crisis situation. Especially for harmless guys. Including me, of course.
I got lost a long time ago, and in the end, I gave in. You've had something similar before… while opening up to your sweet self.
'Okay, let's try as hard as we can. - Except you. "
I honestly admitted I was the Demon King, but I don't want a word stuck at the end and frown.
'Huh?'
"Because you belong to me."
No. Demon King theory, I don't know. I'm going around and back to where I came from...
"... so why am I yours?
When did I become yours?
"There's no reason why it's Aloys. - I've told you many times, I'm not Aloys.
"It doesn't have to be Aloise."
"... Huh?
"Even if you're not Aloise, you're mine, Kakel."
"... ugh."
- Hey... something sounds like you're being spoken of enthusiastically..., yeah, yeah?
It just sounds like "Aloys" has changed to "Kakel" and it means a lot different.
What is this destructive power...
My face is hot. Maybe she's turning bright red even if she doesn't.
I'm glad I'm reading.
I could have accidentally fallen if that yakitori told me the current dialogue against the face of a colorful grown demon king. That's about as bad as it gets.
"... servants, that's what you mean?
I'll purposefully try to behave that way. I didn't know how else to return it. I can't ask because I'm afraid of romantic implications, etc. When I was in elementary school, it was kind of hard to hear what I was able to ask.
The Demon King's response was concise.
"I don't remember treating you like a servant."
- You treated me like a parsley this morning.
"Then why are you so confident that you own it?"
I want to know the rationale for that.
I thought that if I could figure that out, I would also be able to correct the devil king's mistake.
'I'm not just asking... why don't you think about it for yourself?'
He fights back in a grumpy way, and I get stuck all the time.
... I'm busy with my pinkies.
Don't get quite angry when they do this, the other way around. What an unpleasant feeling to see from above.
"I don't even know if you're thinking about it."
"Isn't that a little dull?
'I just don't want you to tell me...!
'... well. If you're telling me not to talk to you in person for a while, let's do that'
"... you're a good listener."
I thought I'd spend a little more time... but on the contrary, I get alarmed.
'Cause there's a mark. I'm not going to tie you up at 46: 00. "
... you mean yesterday's behavior was special?
Indeed, the Demon King was a free-handed child.
I'm sure by nature, its essence has still not changed. I can't imagine a demon king acting friendly with someone.
(Cargamo Demon King is limited to one day...)
For some reason the feeling of sparing it seemed to plunder slightly, and I shook my head in a panic and drove the thought out.
'Is that all we're talking about?
"Oh, oh... no, there's more"
There are still important stops left.
'You've been in this school since middle school. Have you told anyone that your past life was a demon king?
'... No, I'm not telling anyone'
"Right..."
I felt a little surprised together when I was relieved.
When I was in elementary school, when I transferred, I declared it so grand...
'... you don't think of yourself as the Demon King anymore?
I hope so, I ask.
"I was a demon king. It's an immutable logic, no matter whose thoughts intervene. '
But what returned was an answer that betrayed expectations.
'... well...'
The Demon King has the pride of the Demon King.
I could understand that, too.
... I can understand, but I remember a faint sadness apart from that.
We keep ourselves tied up because we have memories.
Myself, the Demon King, and the Cleric.
Maybe princes, princesses, knights......
"I'm not going to deny that you think of your past life as a demon king. But don't talk about it again."
"I know."
This time I was really surprised.
"I've decided to live as a man."
"... well, what...?
'What are you talking about now? I thought you said that. On that occasion. Live as a person.'
――
There were no words in the shock.
The back of my chest shivers and the heat lights up properly.
I covered my mouth with one hand.
I think it helped me again with the thought of making it.
I didn't have to be seen in my face... good.
I'm sure I can't even fix it right now, because I would be exposed to a terrible wretch.
"Have you forgotten?
'... I didn't forget. Really, remember, I do.'
I remember.
In dirt and sand.
I squeezed my last force and told him.
- The most evil ascension that binds the demon king.
Have you... always kept such words in your mind?
This is why this guy is bad in nature...
You were a demon king who killed people flat like bugs,
Why are you so innocent and honest...
There's no way I can hate you or kill you.
Even if he was murdered under his command by a man so dear that he died in his previous life.
Even if he had killed many of the people he fought with in front of himself.
And a young demon king who was small.
Big grown demon kings too.
Neither can I resent or hate anymore.
To be scolded by my people for being a traitor.
No matter how thin they blame me for it.
Rarely do I scorn (exaggerate) that he's the one who has looked down on my brother...
"The Demon King" is already a certain person for me to be called "Terre".
... At some point, it may be a similar feeling to the Demon King who started calling me "Kakel" instead of "Aloise".
'Cause you're already human...... if you know what I mean. And then, when you're in the mood, it's yummy. I'm not dead yet. Don't kill yourself.'
I changed my mind somewhat forcefully.
"Yes, why are you dressed other than your pants?" I mean, you've never been here on your own before? You were in a dorm when you were in middle school, right?
"When I was in middle school, I barely came to school. I never dressed in a dorm."
'Uh, no, you refused to go to school. Why 'd you refuse to go to school?
When I was in elementary school with a cheerful face, even if it was hard on me, the owner of the steel mental came to school. Why?
"... because they were depressed to make a leap to get me."
"... ah... fairy"
I mean, you were more of a wuss than a jerk...
... Well, the guild does look like a wuss. If those guys chase me around like they do every day, I might not even go to school.
"For the most part, changing clothes is something you don't have to prepare yourself for."
"On my own... my family?
"No family."
'... aren't you there?
"I'll do it with my guardian. It's very busy."
I have no family.
And the presence of a guardian.
I could get new information from the pants thing, but... even if the prediction was somewhat possible, the Demon King's background was still not much fun to hear.
"Ah, he's greedy, but he's a pretty funny person."
'... Really?
I don't really want to hang out with the kind of person who's greedy and funny, but I guess not with the Demon King's sensibilities.
There seems to be quite a relationship with the guardian, and for the first time, it was good.
If you're a guardian enough to be called a business-strength, you're going to be making a lot of money. I'm sure the care of the demon king of the incapacitated would have taken care of him around the helper.
But unfortunately, there are no helpers, cute maid clothes elementary school kids, all-purpose squire, or devil butlers in the dorm who inadvertently peek at their husbands.
The only place I can take care of myself is where I can see for myself, that is the dorm. Never summon a former caretaker of a former brave man in piercing.
'There may have been someone who could've done it before, but from now on, you can do it yourself, okay? Don't call me anyway, okay? Do you want me to wash the dirt or clean it myself? Because they'll do the cleaning if you ask the dorm staff'
Hardly stating what he was concerned about, the Demon King replied after a while of silence that he understood.
I'll see you later.
"Oh."
Finishing my conversation with the Demon King and getting ready to go to school, I leave my room with a bag filled with materials.
- In the meantime, there's only enough specifications to deal with right now to distance myself from the Demon King.
I manage to outrun this for a month, and as soon as I get permission to go out, I secretly peer off the school. Worst of all, it could be in a surgical way. The Demon King will complain, but it's worse to put it on his own.
Afterwards - he hides the existence of the Demon King from his former companions, pays attention not to let the Demon King use his "power," and spends the remaining three years of his school life without noticeable noise and secrecy......
The freshman challenge is to manage to slip within 10th place in freshman orientation and work hard to stop wind discipline surveillance leveling. If we succeed, Vice President Kazuki's mouthpiece will exempt us from punishment,... maybe.
(... what is this impossible gay)
I don't feel good enough to laugh at you at all...
Though I thought about the steps, I sighed small without wiping away the sense of blockage.
