The Former Hero Wants To Lead An Ordinary Life

108. The Brave is the Wolf Part II

"Ter! Wait, stop! You know what! I don't care about trying or anything anymore, so just do this with the person you like, huh?

"Right."

"No, no, you're right, not! Why are you trying to push me down!?

I turned to the Demon King, who pushed me shoulder to shoulder and tried to knock me down to bed.

"I told you there was nothing to try!?

"Do you like it?"

"What?"

"If you like it, don't you?

"No, no, no, no. That would be different."

"What's different? I like that."

"So - it's... by assumption"

You like Aloys...

I wonder how I can persuade the Demon King to back off and throw the word "like" lightly in his face. Such a thing is a trick. What the Demon King calls "likes" comes with the prerequisite that I am Aloys.

Or even if you gave up a hundred steps and had nothing but feelings for me, it must have been imprinted when it was like a demon king...

- No, even if it isn't.

I'm cheating on you.

He hides that he was a brave man, with an unfamiliar face, and is deceiving.

"I'm not..., no"

I'm not the person you deserve.

"I can't."

Aloise,... I'm not here to think of you purely like a beehikoo.

"You don't have to understand. I'm not an Aloise."

You're not the one who doesn't want it.

"I know."

――

"You will live in this world, Kakel."

Lost my strength and lost to the Demon King, I fell on my back to the bed.

"It used to be Aloys, but for me, it was already Kakel."

The lips of the Demon King, looking down from the top, say pale.

"Something else."

- The Demon King unequivocally assured me that Aloys and I were different.

"And you taught me that yourself. You told me to live, not Aloys, but Kakel - you."

――――……

"You always pull me back into this world. Comfortable by your side. I prefer you."

I turned my back silently to the Demon King and buried my face in the futon that was folding.

(What the hell, you..., why do you say that more than anything else?)

Please don't.

I'm the one who put you in my hands.

Don't even try to find out you're evil. I'm the one who broke it.

It's nobody else, - it's me.

It wasn't for people or for justice that I defeated the Demon King.

I did not have noble aspirations like princes and clerics, I was not put to the heart of a righteous man like a former mercenary corps leader, nor was it due to the spirit of charity like a singing princess, to royal duties or to the loyalty that knights dedicate to their masters...

It's just that I'm free from the chains of God.

For my sake alone, I destroyed the Demon King, killed the Demons, and slaughtered the demons.

He was just such a self-righteous chunk.

Probably still, my nature hasn't changed.

It hasn't changed.

(Don't tell me you like it)

I didn't think the Demon King would beat me.

I didn't think I needed to feel a burden.

- I wanted to.

Yes, I was telling myself.

But this is...

The identity of this pain pierced my chest,

It is a "loss" to the Demon King without deception.

Because I'm a sloppy person.

I've been turning away.

I have always kept my eyes off it, using the signs and guilt of my previous life as an excuse to "reborn and re-live".

But the Demon King relentlessly chooses such a part of me.

I shake the scars of the past that even that brother rarely touches, - with its straight purity.

You look great, you don't know common sense, you're clumsy, you can do whatever you want without any concern about convenience over here..., you're swung up, you're annoyingly extreme, but for some reason you can't let it go, and this is how you end up stepping in and doing the damage...

If I could hate it.

If they abandon you.

I don't know how easy it is.

I wonder why you can't escape the hand that is stretched out.

This kind of opponent is no other than the Demon King, even in this world.

He's not here...

There was no one else like him who shook his heart so much when he told me he liked him.

It's my first experience, and I can't believe I don't even know what to do.

(Doesn't matter)

Really, there's nothing I can do.

The demon king gently touches my head.

I could even shake that hand off.

- The biggest problem was that I didn't think I'd like that hand.

"I'm not Aloise."

I didn't say one lie.

I'm not fooling you intentionally.

The Demon King is mistaken on his own.

Yet - not revealing the truth gets heavier and heavier every day.

I wasn't such a good person.

It should have been okay to lie, deceive, deceive, deceive.

I should have been good at it, like pretending to be a good guy.

Right now, I'm dying to punch my ass.

Where's Aoyagi?

Yes, while I'm laughing at myself, I'd love to reveal myself to the Demon King at all... and wake him up in that diminutive wake.

The demon king pinched my back hair and pulled it.

"Kakel..., why don't you turn this way"

"... ugh."

My chest is tickled by a voice and hair pulling movement that I can hear with some hesitation.

Like a bird with a beak on his back of his head..., such a nagging obscenity was in his behavior.

(Soyu's, really stop...)

I lean on my back this time to escape from my chest, driven by spiralling emotions.

I stare back into the dark eyes that look down at me.

Behind that sucking pitch black, I felt like the red (not giving it to me) of my previous life was still living there.

"Ca...,"

Stop the name your thin lips tried to spin with your fingertips.

The temperature I touched was still warm.

(I wonder how you were in your previous life)

You didn't even pass blood, did you have a temperature?

I didn't know that, I never even thought about it, and I pointed the blade at you.

Hating God, on the other hand, I believed in God without a cloud.

- Did people and demons really fail to understand...

(Don't call me by my name)

I don 't--

"- I'll take you..."

He's the brave one who killed him.

The moment I left it to the urge to tell the truth, the door of the room opened properly -...

".................. Huh?? Yep...!?

- A distracted cry, completely out of tune with the air on the spot, rose from near the entrance to the room.

When I glanced at you, Rokkaya, the Lord of the other room, stared at me with his eyes open. To see my school bag lowered off my shoulder, it still seemed like my return dorm time was slower at the club.

When he meets me, Rokkaya tells me quickly and arrowly in a rough manner such as normal calmness.

"... sorry to interrupt! Go on! Please, go on!...... oh! My idiot! Too bad timing. I hate myself!

"Ro"

"I'm not going to stand in your way, because I'm not even going to look like this! Please don't hesitate to continue thinking about me as the air or the trash that rolls in that area. I'm garbage. It's debris."

... Rokkaya broke.

"Oh, well... you can't keep me here, can you? I never mind if you don't mind, but I don't like Shokun because there's something surprisingly delicate about it. I know. Oh, yeah, if it was me, I'd stay in another room tonight, right?... Yeah, I will. I like that. I'm here for you. Hang in there!"

Six valleys thumbing up with the best smile I've ever seen try to disappear across the door.

(Rokkaya, isn't the character...!?

You wouldn't be such a character.

"Wait, wait, Rokkaya! Because you don't have to support me! Because there's nothing! Don't get me wrong! I mean, don't go! Please don't go!

"That's right. Nothing leaves the room, Rokkaya. I don't care who it is."

"Mind your own business! I mean, you don't have to say anything extra. Shut up!"

Rokkaya smiled with a loving look like his mother when she compared me to the Demon King.

"I've heard a lot about the two of you. I'm on your side."

"... to whom!? What!?

When I ate it, Rokkaya pressed his mouth to say that it had gone awry.

"... Rokkaya... no way you..."

I'm in touch with Tanaka...

"Well, for now, I'm going out for dinner."

- Of course I bounced off the Demon King and pulled all I could to stop the fellow inmates who deliberately missed their gaze again and left only their bags.

"There's nothing there, is there? I had a little neck injury, so keep an eye on that... I wasn't just asking Ter to help me, I was doing something as nasty as you think... hey, are you listening?

I gave a desperate explanation of the situation...... but the more somehow the Rokkaya deepened his smile and smiled, and when I finished hearing the explanation to the end, he replied, "I know, I know," which he didn't seem to understand at all. You never know. Or you're not trying to figure it out.

By the way, was the Demon King tired of being in the middle of explanations, taking the BL comic strip he was about to read and shifting to graceful reading time on his own. You free man. I did tell you to keep your mouth shut, but I didn't tell you to read the BL comics.... I got angry, so I fed him a shot of chop in the head. I was looking at it and Rokkaya said, "Please again!" I blinked my eyes and put my smartphone over here, so I visited Rokkatani with chops. Then, now that the Demon King was involved in complaining that he didn't know how to "do it to the others," my fatigue was going to grow.

Later, though he pursued Rokkan as to who and what he was hearing from, he was slackened and deluded, and his companion never cracked his mouth.

But the sight of the killer who blew extra into the Rokkatani is wanting. It must have been Daita's fault. It was a failure to teach you the name of the school and the name of the six valleys, though how much you have torn to get peer magazines.

(Tanaka...)

From the dorm room in room 1007, completely occupied by BL World, to the BL cartoonist in a distant land, I flew an eight-win curse.
