The Immortal Demon King and the Impaired Hero
36 Knight's Vow
Today, time flies from fierce wars between demons and humans, and the city begins to regain its pre-war serenity.
Isaiyoi and Seika were still about to leave Terms for the King's Capital before dawn.
There has been a lot to this day.
As Lilith told me, Yuka rose in rank all at once, and the attention from around her increased and she moved freely harder. As heroes of Thelmus, the powerful would have plotted to keep Evening Incense in the city. The adventurer guild and some nobles moved to take in, and the surroundings of Evening Incense have been very noisy here lately.
Every time I am thanked by the citizens of the city for being a hero, I am driven around at four or six o'clock by what makes me a fan like Lilith, rubbing sesame seeds from various people. It was the other day that Evening Incense raised its roots in such a situation.
The heroic treatment of Yuka, a small citizen, was unbearable in the end. Hence Yuka suggested to Isaiyoi to leave the city as soon as possible.
Isaiyoi didn't say no because he expected it would be time to come.
The departure was decided during the time the citizens were asleep. Otherwise it could be a fuss, because we might be able to stop it.
Leaving this city was told only by a very small part, a trustworthy opponent. Some of them are interactive adventurers such as Gillil, starting with Lilith, and that hard-mouthed guild employee who was personally close to him, as well as Genova, director of the Daniel Chamber of Commerce branch.
Everyone had spared Evening Incense leaving, but there was no stopping him. Because they all perceived that there was a solid purpose for Evening Incense, no matter what. Therefore he encouraged me to keep my mouth together, and to do my best.
So sometimes there was a scene called Evening Incense, where I accidentally wept about breaking up, but now I can leave the city without thinking about it.
"You've grown quite attached to this city too..."
Growling emotionally, Evening Incense looks at the streets of Terms behind her.
The length of your stay in this city exceeds one month. Thinking of the days and events like the upheaval with the people I met in the meantime, Evening Incense's thoughts are not daunting either.
"I wonder if I can come back."
"I don't know..."
Isaiyoi standing next to Yuka answers vaguely.
As for Isaiyoi's personal mood, I want Evening Incense to leave this world and return to the original world when it's all over. Before she dyed and cut into such a slaughtered world.
But there is no way I can say that to Yuka, and it becomes an ambiguous answer. But Yuka doesn't care much about it, and she turns her back on Thelmus.
Come on, let's go.
"Right."
The two turn their backs on the streets and head to the gates so as to cut off the remainder of their hearts to Thelmus.
During this time, the gates of the city are tightly closed. Speaking of how the two would get out of the city in that state, it was a force move that Evening Incense would hold Isaiyoi and cross that fence.
Surely Isaiyoi can exchange it, and he can hide himself with phantom magic. Entry and exit from the city are not recorded as peripheral accidents, so they are not even noticed. It is in a way the best way, but there is no denying how unplanned it is.
In fact, it is unplanned because it is decided to stand up and act the next day.
The two walked through the quiet city of Terms and eventually came to the front of the gate.
The gatekeeper is not inside the city. We're on guard on the outside. Therefore the two stand before a gate that was closed with dignity without concealing themselves.
"Ready?
In an attempt to return a nod to Yuka's inquiry, Isaiyoi stopped moving to one sign that he was rushing from the rear.
"Yuka...!"
"What, Lilith...?"
Evening incense raises a bewildering voice to the unexpected characters.
I can't believe I'm here to stop you now. Because Lilith is also one of the people who sent me out of my mind as of yesterday.
Then why the hell the whole thing?
Lilith glanced at Isaiyoi as she gently disturbed her breath, then turned directly from the front with Yuka.
"Yuka, sir. I thought it was bad when you came out like this, but could you do me one favor?
"Please, depending on the content..."
Evening incense perplexed by the abrupt offer, but it cannot be unimpeded by any other request from Lilith.
Lilith pulled out the knight's sword she had placed on her hips as Evening Incense stood up slightly to see what kind of favor would come.
"What..."
Evening incense that sets you up in a different way. But Isaiyoi, who stands next to him, is not particularly alert. That's because I trust Lilith biased and I can't feel any hostility from her.
Raising the sword tip of the knight sword against heaven, which was not lost in the midst of this battle, Lilith kneels to Evening Incense in a flowing motion.
"I, Lilith Crast, want to offer you this sword as a knight. To protect you, to fight with you, I would like to ask you as my Lord. Will you listen to this wish?"
Lilith made her name as one knight, not a constant princess adventurer. Evening incense can't hide confusion from her like that.
A wish from Lilith, a dear companion. To speak of Evening Incense as the Lord as one knight. In contrast, Evening Incense shook her head vertically to Lilith's offer, even though she only cruised slightly in response.
"If it's okay with me"
Lilith slowly raises her face in reply to Evening Incense.
Replace the knight's sword that was pointing toward heaven and offer the blade tip to the earth to offer the knight's sword to Evening Incense in that state.
"From this moment on, my sword is dedicated solely to you."
Strictly ending words, the vow ritual ended.
▼
I'll go after the two of you when Thelms calms down.
Lilith told him so with a clear smile.
"If it's true, I'd like to follow you both right now. Yuka, when you're gone and you're gone, you're gonna be in trouble when things go wrong."
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's like I'm gonna push everything."
Evening incense lowering her eyeballs to apologize.
In fact, it is a great shock to Thelmus that the evening incense, which is heroically viewed under this circumstance, hides in the clouds. Whether that's transient or not, the citizens will be anxious and the powerful will rush around looking for Evening Incense.
It's a problem at a time when only one human has that much powerful influence, but now it's not even during the post-war period. I don't know how.
Lilith shook her head just saying never mind.
"Yuka, I know exactly how you feel, and I can't help but stay here more than we both have a purpose. It's wild to try and stop it."
"Lilith, thank you so much..."
Evening incense that slightly moisturizes the eyes and is about to cry out again.
Lilith smiles back as she cares about such evening incense, then shifts her gaze to Isaiyoi next door.
"I was going to show my readiness, but I don't know."
Suddenly, Isaiyoi realized that this was Lilith's answer in that tavern.
Whatever happens, stay with Evening Incense. Lilith responded to Isaiyoi's request in a way that was no clearer.
There is no way Lilith would betray Evening Incense more than she swore as a knight. I could only understand that Isaiyoi, who doesn't know the knight, doesn't know, but is nevertheless prepared to be out of line.
Lilith is the knight of Evening Incense (...) no matter what happens. Whether you know Evening Incense is a brave man or a heavenly mutation occurs, Lilith will be on Evening Incense's side.
That's all I need to know. Isaiyoi smiled slightly back at Lilith.
"It's time to go, Yuka."
When he saw the eastern sky, which was turning into a flock of blue, Isaiyoi said to Evening Incense, whose nose was still pounding.
"I know. Lilith, then say goodbye here."
Evening incense smiles sunny as she leaves tear marks on her eyeballs.
Lilith smiles at the expression of such evening incense and walks over to evening incense as she remembers.
"I forgot."
Whispering so, Lilith gently dropped her mouthfeel on Evening Incense's cheek.
"Heh...?"
Evening incense is stiff with a dumb voice leaking into Lilith's behavior that she didn't anticipate. Neighbor Isaiyoi suppressed his temples so that he could have a headache.
"Isaiyoi, sir. I'm not giving up."
Leaving a deep grin on Isaiyoi, Lilith turned her back and walked away.
It was Evening Incense, who stood still for a long time, but as soon as he touched his hand on his kissed cheek, he began to blush to his ears and become bored.
Isaiyoi glanced half-eyed at Lilith's back as she walked away, looking aside at Evening Incense, which bored her with a cry without a voice.
"You've got to be kidding me..."
Whimpering powerlessly, Isaiyoi forcefully assumed Evening Incense, which was still stuffy, and disappeared in phantom magic.
The two then escaped Terms safely.
Even though the absence of Sunset makes Terms fussy, the confusion was ruled early when Lords, Adventurers Guild, and Lilith moved.
Thus marked the end of his stay in Thermus, which exceeded a month, and the line between Isaiyoi and Seika began to walk towards the king's capital.
