The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

- Someday I'm sure. Someone will show up to make you happy.

The 'Wizard', who occasionally appears fluffy, said so.

"Happiness is what?

After asking that question, how much sun would have risen and set?

Again today, the sun sets in the mountains in the distance. Even if covered by thick clouds, the sun, which was illuminating the earth with a slight glow, turns away.

I exhaled quietly as I watched how it was.

"Well. I think it would be fun to just be there, or someone who wants you to be there for me... I guess it's each person's happiness."

In a sea world, with silver hair in the wind...... shrugging her shoulders like somewhere out of the way, the 'Wizard' says.

It's just fun to be there.

Someone who wants you to be beside him.

Oh, I see.

Nod small and divert your gaze from the wizard. Watch the sun, which is about to disappear from sight.

Range said he wanted to show Elmen Hilde a lot of scenery.

Hermen Hilde and he said he wanted to see a lot of scenery.

I'm sure that's 'happiness'.

Then.

"Who is the one who makes me happy?

"I don't know that. You find... you have to realize."

"Really?"

I remember having fun.

There are people who wanted me to be by their side.

But I'm sure the Yamada Range will never get me out of here again.

His purpose was to lead me to this seat.

What I remember as' fun 'was' traveling 'with him.

So my 'fun' will never come true. He won't take me on a journey anymore.

Then someone who would like us to be together... that, too, would not be possible.

I haven't seen Range in a long time.

He's not visiting here.

... I know what you mean. That's what I knew.

Arbenelm continent.

The land of demons and demons. I manage, my world.

This place is too harsh for humans. If you can't even use metastatic magic that travels in an instant like this wizard, you know it's hard to even step in.

The waters around the continent are disturbed and the sky is always swirling like a storm.

... I haven't seen the blue sky in years.

That's when the range slashed the sky. The sky the range showed me.

It's just, it's in my memory.

Blue that lasts everywhere.

Dazzlingly, painfully in the eyes, vibrant blue.

Close your eyes, remembering that memory.

"Can your eyes see my future?

"No. This" eye "can only see a person's future."

"... then"

Exhale.

Open your eyes.

... the sun had already hidden its appearance across the mountain.

"Will Range visit this place again?

…………

To my question, the wizard does not answer.

That's the answer.

That's what I knew.

Because he is a human being, and a weak one among humans.

I can't even fortify my flesh with magic, because I'm just a human being.

... Because I'm such a person, I want you to stay with me. I want to see his life trying to live more than anyone else because he's weak.

Life is. A person's life is a journey, I think.

Born, till death.

Journey all the way, walking, running, sometimes stopping, moving forward a little bit.

Oh.

What a wonderful life Astraela and Zeneria gave birth to on earth.

I wonder why Naifer gave birth to demons and demons.

It's supposed to be the same life, but the only species I know to fight.

Remember Shelfa's death.

Fight, fight, keep fighting, the demon king who's dead. Demon King who has been killed.

I am envious of the way I live. Kill me at the end of the battle - myself choosing a way of life that vividly tries to be remembered by someone rather than living together.

"Why am I a demon?"

…………

There are no words.

Seeing, the wizard was scratching his cheeks with his fingers like trouble.

"Anything?"

"I want to quit the demon god... or something?

Words While narrowing your butt, words like some trouble.

To the words, shake your head to the side.

"No, it's just that if I hadn't been a demon god, if Shelfa hadn't been a demon king... I'm sure she would have had a different 'way of meeting' again"

"... right"

In the end, we get there.

Because I'm human. Because he's the Demon King. Because I'm a demon.

I can't stay with you.

I can't be with you.

Put your hands on your chest. Confirm a slightly pulsating beat.

Just a little, a beating sensation faster than usual. Can you tell me that my heart is pounding?

I thought so, but I never visited it.

I'm sure you won't get the answer you're looking for by asking this wizard...

"One day, as I feel - I want to see you, and I'm going to meet you"

"Yeah."

"... then I'm sure Range will think I'm the only one who can look at me"

As Shelfa did.

Nobody else. To make you look only at yourself - I wield this power.

Also, my heart rattles.

Just imagine the scene and it will slightly disturb my breathing.

I can't understand myself like that, I turn my gaze to the darkened sky and calm my feelings.

"I cannot see your future."

…………

"But I can see Yamada's future... its"

The wizard, as somewhere troubled, seems a little sad, keeps his word butt down.

"He teaches you happiness. But I can't make you happy."

"Yes."

That's what I knew.

But... I wonder what it feels like to have a chest ache.

I wonder what this, this emotion that seems to be losing power from my whole body right now - wanting to hang on to something.

I want to meet Range.

Strong, strong...... stronger than any emotion I've ever had.

"Like me, I can't even come and see you easily. Humans fade away when they get older, and he doesn't have magic. He doesn't have to be that, he's vulnerable to the air of the Arbenelm continent."

"Yes."

"I'm sure you won't be able to visit here again."

Why.

... I wonder why the wizard who says that still looks like he's going to cry.

This is supposed to be about me and Range.

"I'm sure."

…………

"I'm sure you refer to people like you as' good people ', wizards"

That said, he looked surprised.

I lean my neck, wondering if I said anything strange.

At the end of the day, I didn't ask you to return any words, and then I turned my gaze... toward the dark night sky.

"I'll wait."

"... yes"

"Let him come. Also, let me hear your voice."

That's what I promised.

He said he'd come to see me... because he 'promised'.

So wait.

Keep waiting.

He's coming.

The range is coming.

... with the understanding that its end is Naifer and Shelfa. Still, I 'chose' to wait.

"I was returning to Wangdu, Mr. Yamada."

Then some time passed, when the season was on a tour.

When I put my face in Fujido's dining room, there were some faces I found out about.

Nine seasons to Mr. Yamada, who is eating. Fujido, the shopkeeper, and Ito, who somehow wears an employee uniform.

On another table are Francesca, Faerona and Mululu, who have often been requested by adventurers with Yamada.

Until Furong and Yoko.

... as usual, it's busy around this guy, he said.

And then, that lonely - I only have one, I remember the cold world.

Indeed.

I know exactly what the Demon King wants.

It also means that if you're in a place so 'nothing', and you know someone so busy, you'll be attracted to it.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Kotaro. How have you been?

"Well, pussy"

"... what. It's been a long time since I've seen you, and you look so stinky."

With that said, Ito, in unfit employee clothes, slapped me on the shoulder abusively.

"Look, sit where it's open. Have a good meal and tell us what happened."

"... at times like this, you're sweet. Ito."

"I don't care what time I am. Hey, Lotus?

"Lie and spit. Anyway, they laughed at that outfit, so you just want to change the subject."

"Chicken."

Yeah, I knew they laughed at that outfit.

... Well, yeah.

Long journey burnt skin. The arms peeking through the sleeves are scratchy, and my physique feels more like a caution stick than a waiter. How uncomfortable it is for such a man to dress for business.

"... I hear you said something"

"No way."

I feel that voice go low, and I rush to deny it.

"So, Kotaro. I know you're here because you know we're gathered here anyway, but what's wrong?

"Mmm, hey."

Yuko tells me that, and I turn my gaze to Mr. Yamada for nothing.

In my head, that lonely demon god - the figure of Solnea - came to mind.

'Also, did Range do something?

"Don't say it again... people don't listen well. I'm going to live a life that doesn't bother anybody."

"You can say that a lot."

"Don't say that in the face, Nine Seasons. It's still pretty weak, me."

Yamada, who apparently was drinking tea after the meal, was squeaking on her face as she slammed to the table.

Seeing Yamada like that, Jiu-Ji is laughing with great pleasure. I'm always smiling, but I'm still on the inside, you know.

"No. I've been seeing Solnea for a while."

"... with Solnea?

"Before this, after Mr. Yamada broke up. See, I can still use metamagic for one person."

"For many people, Mr. Utano already imitated me."

"Stop. Because I can cry."

"... don't say it like I'm bad. I know I can make copies, but there's magic like this, and I'm proud of you, Kotaro. It's not your fault."

"True. If you don't do something about that reluctant personality, there will be fewer and fewer magic available, Inoue."

"... Yes"

Not long ago, I was crippled out of two women.

That's the usual thing, so it's not that damaging.

Look, I'm sure everyone wants to show someone some new magic.

... and Yoko wants to discover "unusable" magic.

Well, so far, I haven't found that kind of magic.

But if I could find such magic - I'd be able to tell you with my heart that it's true 'magic'.

And, well, put aside the reason I show magic.

"Yamada, is there someone you like?

"Huh?"

When I asked, Mr. Yamada looked back at me with his mouth open.

"No. Somehow."

"What's up, Koutaroo? Have you eaten anything weird?

"... it's hard sometimes, isn't it, Elmenhilde?"

Just.

"Look, Yuko to Furong, because I don't listen to that even though there are a few other cute kids beside me"

"... what's up, Kotaro? You want to die that bad?

"Will you stop saying such noisy things in a kind voice!?

I'm scared. I'm smiling, that's all.

"Hmm. Even from Koutaroo, do you still think so"

"Yeah, yeah. Yuko, that's enough."

Before I could finish, Yoko tapped the table lightly with her index finger.

For some reason, only the sound of it clearly reaches my ear when I say it's in a store surrounded by hustle and bustle.

"What?"

"... here. Yeah. Uh... Because Mr. Yamada's old enough."

"That's where it breaks, right, Kotaro?"

"Nine seasons, whose side are you on?"

"He's fun."

"You're so cynical."

I know that Elmen Hilde has a child in Yamada... or wants him to get married.

So I hope for that thought too.

- Because Mr. Yamada taught Solnea and Ermenhilde 'fun'.

But I'm sure this man can't walk with 'God'.

I can't live.

Because this man is a 'god killer'. And because it's the most 'human' of us.

So I'm sure this feeling of mine is' sad '.

Both Solnea and Ermenhilde.

Because I still think of "Lianshi Yamada".

So.

If so.

- Someday I'm sure. Someone will show up to make you happy.

Ermenhilde and Solnea.

A person who makes a two-pillar goddess happy.

Not me. I could only talk to him. [M]

So.

I hope so, too.

May the lonely demon god be happy.

May the goddess who will be left one day laugh.

This is what future generations say about him.

He said he was the center of the hero.

He said he was the strongest man who ever fought a demon.

He says he's the only one who's been spoiled by The Goddess.

"How about a harem? Look, he said he likes hero colors."

"... well, that's it. Yeah. You ate something weird, Kotaro."

Because I knew it.

I... want everyone to be happy.

Both Yuko and Furong.

Both Ermenhilde and Solnea.

Everyone's not here.

Even if it's hard and nearly impossible - I want everyone to be happy.
