The Former Hero Wants To Lead An Ordinary Life

Chasing after the Demon King, I was thinking of one possibility.

- One second, that guy, maybe...

For the future, I'd like to ask, if I can, not to talk, but immediately face to face to see if there's any lies or deception there.

So I immediately followed the demon king.

Exploring the signs of the Demon King, he somehow entered the mountain hand where the trees flourished from behind the F school building, not in the direction of the dorm.

It is the direction where he fled with the six valleys before from the Alliance and the Fools.

Though there was only a little time loss, I bracketed the height that I was sure I would catch up on the way because I would climb a slope with bad scaffolding, albeit with a beast path, but in the end, I could hardly catch that back until I reached the spot facing the sea at the tip of the tree.

... Apparently the Demon King had gained quite a bit of strength while we didn't see each other for a while.

When I suddenly came out of the dark and opened my sight, I glanced at the glare of the sun and looked for the demon king.

That was still the place where the Rokkatani and fled.

By the way, the space on the rock-skin where the sesame grass grew continued horizontally for a while with the cliff, and the sound of the waves can be heard from under the cliff.

There was a demon king in front of the cliff.

There was no shadow but the Demon King... but surprisingly, he wasn't alone. beside them,

"One!"

I had an autumn rice ho color barking cheerfully towards this one - there was one dog.

(Dog!?

I stood before him on four feet as if I were a brave knight protecting the Demon King, and I was bewildered by the unexpected presence that threatened this one.

"... you don't have to be alert, because he's not an enemy."

The demon king kneels beside the dog, strokes his head and excuses the roaring dog.

Indeed, the dog stopped roaring and shook his tail at the Demon King.

It's a medium-sized dog resembling a firewood dog.

Looks a lot like I miss the Demon King......,

"What's wrong with that dog? Could it be a dump dog?

Did you pick it up on your way to school island and bring it in?

Or did you miss the wild dogs that live on the island?

But surprisingly, the truth was neither of them.

"No, he's following me wherever I go."

"On my own..."

"I broke up about three days ago, but I was on the island before noon today"

- He was just a stalking dog.

"Huh? Does that mean your dog?

"... No, this one is my loyal minister and traveler. The evidence was also given a special collar. Otherwise, it has all the stones."

"Oi."

Am I treating you like a dog?

... I'll definitely take the ear piercing off one day at any rate, renewing my determination.

"Damn, I'm offering a journey,... you wouldn't even have a pheasant or a monkey, would you?

"Pheasant and monkey? Are you on the island (here)?

"... aren't you a peach taro?"

This isn't Kigajima, and the Demon King would rather be a ghost fit for the role than Taro.

The Demon King doesn't seem to know the story of "Taro" in the first place.

"...? I didn't know exactly what you were trying to say, but this guy's name is Beechkow, not Momotaroo. It was named after the righteous loyal dog. That would be a good name."

"One!"

"The loyal dog from which the name came was worshipped as the patron saint of a station, and the bronze statue was visited daily by a large number of humans, etc."

"One!"

I sent a subtle gaze at the proud Demon King and "Beechkow", who barks with his chest up as well.

(... no, I didn't say peach taro to the dog, he seems to have some weird thoughts, but the explanation is cumbersome, so let's leave him alone. Even if I know the name of Lord Hachi, I can't explain it in detail...)

If there is a mistake of this magnitude, there is probably no harm, …

But it is the main body of the heart, - the Beechcow, that cannot be left unattended. Of course not from some bronze statue in Shibuya.

"So, what's up? This guy."

Because I was just controlled by the Demon King, or even when I approached him, Beechkow never barked.

... He's certainly a smart dog who won't lose his name.

"You can't keep it in school..."

I haven't read the terms yet, but I don't think it's just possible to bring in pets no matter how free-school they are.... There's no way you can bring a pet with you like some magic school, I guess. No... is that ants here too? I'm losing a bit of confidence...

I don't think it's strange that the Alliance people who suffered from Mid-Second Illness had black cats and crows calling themselves demons of use.

To my concern, the Demon King said softly as he fished his own bag.

"We don't have to keep him. He lives anywhere on his own, so it's okay."

He said, "Let him go!... If someone at school finds out you're on your own, they'll take care of you if you're captured and you're bad at it."

"Beechkow is not so much a norm as to be caught by someone else."

"One!"

……

If the owner is the owner, the owner is also the owner.

It's a mystery as to why I can confidently assert it without foundation.

(... ah)

I remembered it mysteriously.

Because of the unexpected appearance of the dog, I completely forgot the original purpose of following the Demon King to this point.

"Ter, you..."

I almost lost sight of the sight.

Because the demon king plunged the gluten candy out of his bag into Beechcow's mouth.

And the beehikou that was stuck with the gluten was fluffy, joyful, and brave.

(... if kibi dough is ant, is gluten sweet also ant...?

Or is the Demon King still packing gluten sweets in his bag...

You haven't changed your liking...

A demon king noticed my unspeakable gaze and took a new gluten from his bag and offered it to me.

"Do you want it too?"

"Hey, there."

I politely refused to attack the Demon King's forehead.

Don't treat me like a beehikoo. I'm not the kind of dog who shakes his tail with gluten.

"That's familiar..."

The demon king, quietly pulling in the gluten candy and putting his fingertips on his forehead, muttered small and faintly loosened his mouth.

- Don't look happy you got beat up. M (Mazo)?

(Damn... oh, I'm going crazy)

When I was in elementary school, you came out.

When the Demon King made the mess, I used to slap the Demon King with a flat hand and let him eat chops. In kids dating each other, their hands were often ahead of their mouths that way. I shouldn't have been in a position where the demon king was comfortable and easy to beat. At that time, the Demon King was less than a head cent lower than I was.... It was really small, he was. He was a "brave man," weak, young, small - unreliable to the extent that I cared.

Just now the Demon King is kneeling on the ground, so I stuck with him with a sense of distance I once had.

I guess he had the illusion of being with the little demon king, not the grown demon king.

I coughed up one thing to get my feelings back on track and told the Demon King.

"I just wanted to ask you something - first, do something about this loyal dog you've been eating on my feet for a while now"

"Woo."

"This guy's been in this state ever since I hit you in the head."

The demon king hadn't noticed, he blinked and lowered his gaze and looked at my feet.

The loyal dog stood ready to put a sharp fang on his leg at any time for the unsuccessful man who did harm to his husband. It is quite a shameless work for the name.

"... good, beechkow. This one is not an enemy. That's his expression of affection."

"Because it's not."

The Demon King tilts his neck at me, which he denies to the slightest sense of eating.

That's what Tanaka said?

"Ta-na-ha!

I barked at the universe. Sometimes even humans, not just dogs, want to bark.

That woman, she really isn't...!

"Because what he says is a hundred par lie!

"... and Kakel will say, but don't believe me, because you're a tundra, and that's not true in the light," he said.

"I got ahead of you!

Gaddem!

Who's the tundelle!

What a woman!

"Wookie agreed."

Wookie, you too!

You back-cutter.

You're not Wookie anymore, Wookie is enough! No. Still raw. Your name is Wookick next time. [M] Your next life is up to the monkey! (Curse)

"They blow in the extra..."

"Don't be lighted."

"It's not lit...!

"Love."

Beechkow, who took his fangs off my feet, lays down beside the Demon King (instead). While stroking it, the Demon King said that.

Is that against a loyal dog,... or against me?

Of course I don't do stupid imitations like pursue and strangle myself.

Instead, I threw a straightforward question that I just couldn't ask.

"- I want to confirm one thing. You remember the face of" The Brave Man "?

The movement of the Demon King's hand stops perfectly.

The brown tail of the beehikoo that was moving in a good mood also stops perfectly. Quite a breathtaking subordinate.

…………

Too abrupt for my inquiry, the Demon King's gaze was thrown into the hollow.

After a long silence, he looked up at me and said confidently once again.

"Of course."

……

I felt my speculation approach certainty in the demon king's reaction.

- Suspicious.

Looking into the eyes of the Demon King, his eyes were misplaced.

"... you'll see"

……

(- You're lying. You haven't noticed what's in front of you right now. Besides, you didn't even notice the face-to-face appearance earlier, did you, Kanji? I don't care if you look at that attitude in front of someone who looks like a "brave man."

I had to fight a lot with the unquenchable urge to grab the neck with that pinhead on it, shake it off thoughtlessly, and let it just throw up.

When you mistake me for Aloise in the first place, the Demon King's ability to perceive is extrapolated.... I haven't been able to judge at all by the contents.

But then I realized that maybe I should not have noticed the possibility that it was a story before my ability to perceive.
