Episode 17: Gather the Moon's Light * 8

"What a nuisance! I don't want you to do that!

Carnelia began to get angry.

Well, it's annoying.... but I know how it feels to pass because it's full of demon kings and I'm at my limit... hmm, I can't say anything.

Of course, from this world, as Carnelia says, "It's annoying!', but... as long as the world is structured to fight for each other's survival, it's difficult to say anything at all... ", I think of myself as an alien who is neither the world nor the country of night.

But... yeah.

Um... I realized something even more unpleasant.... do you mean that the people of the Night Kingdom were sealed by the Demon King, and as soon as the seal loosened and came to our world, they were pointing the Demon King at us and grabbing the creatures of our world for the "auxiliary purpose"?

I can't contest Lyla's words!

"I think so.In a sealed situation where it is difficult to push the Demon King here, it seems that the people of the Night Kingdom can pass through quite a bit... well, if you can't push the Demon King, at least I thought of producing a small sun and taking life-extension measures... "

... this is a bit of a nasty story.

First of all, the main purpose of the people of the Night Kingdom was to "challenge the Demon King to move to other worlds whenever the seal loosened", but the secondary purpose was to "grab the creatures of this world in anticipation of failing to move the Demon King and feed on the sun as a candle".

As for the cane feed, as it was in the book, it seems that the magic of light is already diminishing when it comes to the creatures in the country at night and cannot be used as cane feed.

That's why, with all the magic of light, this world... we had to come to the land of day and grab the creatures of the land of day.

... considering that, I can't do it anymore.

In other words, when the creatures of this world were seized, they were killed in the other world where they were seized.

Considering that there are creatures that have been grabbed by completely different worlds and died from being eaten there, maybe people... yeah.I can't help it.

People in the country at night would die if they didn't, and when I started talking about it, I thought about how we were killing livestock and eating them, and I couldn't help but... yeah.

... the air in the room becomes depressing.That's true. I think it is difficult for people in this world to like the country at night, even after we have largely understood the story of the country at night.Yeah....

"For now, the night world is at its limit.There is a "brave man" in this world, and the seal will soon be fixed, so the demon king's move has not been successful.... so this time, I think it was a plan to create a small sun by grabbing me and eating me whole. "

Especially since I am... the Spirit.There may be a lot of magic in light.I've done a lot of magic cuts, but I'm not dead yet, and the theory that there's a lot of magic in my light is rich.

... yeah. But in the country at night, the plan failed.

"... but I didn't feed the whole thing.That's why the Night Kingdom has barely been able to extend the life of its subordinates.If left as it is, the Night Land will perish.This time, if the Night Land is sealed with the Devil, the Night Land may be destroyed by the time the next seal is lifted. "

The night landscape passes in my head. [M]

The sparkling starry sky and the blurry flower fields illuminated by the stars and moon lights from the glassy corridor.A somewhat dull building with lots of colors and a light color feel.A fluffy bed wrapped around a blanket in cold weather.Glowing juice with a view over the polka dot.Altar under the moonlight.And then... finally, Lene pushed me on my back a lot and gave me back.

... everything like that will never be seen again.I'm lost.

If all the light is eaten, Rene and the others will die.

I wonder what it's like when the magic of light disappears and dies.

In the dark, I can't see anything. I wonder if it would be cold, cold, and frozen to death.In my bed, I was warm enough to keep Lene cold and dark...

... when I think about it, I think I have to do something about it.

It's too sad that the world you know will perish.I also know that there are sad and painful people there, so it's too much.

I want to help.

I want to help the country at night. [M]

But I'm the only one who thinks so.

... because I'm the only one who knows the country at night, and the others... are born and raised in this world, unlike me.That's why I think what I think of the Night Kingdom is, "The bad guy who is sacrificing this world."

"So now is probably the last chance....."

While thinking about how to convey, I managed to find a word.

I'm not good at finding words.I don't like telling people much.But I can't give it up from the beginning...

"Well, me."

"Then you can move."

... I'm surprised.

I was thinking, "How can I get everyone to help me?" But Laocles is willing to help me now, without asking anything.

"What should I do?Of course, I'm going to rule out the way you get eaten by that "Sea Urchin" thing. "

"... will you help me?

I thought it would be silly to ask, but I heard.Then Laocles smiled a little and replied.

"... if you're going to do something, I want to see it.I'm also interested in the scenery you thought was beautiful. "

"Are you sure? I'm not trying to do good in this world.I'm trying to help people who were trying to do bad things in this world. "

I am, after all, a superfluous person.I love this world, but I'm sure it's 28408; embarrassing.My attachment to the world will be different from yours. [M]

But....

"I don't mind either.Hate, I don't understand a story that's too big.I wouldn't hold a grudge if the people around me hadn't suffered irretrievable hardship.And then, if you have fun, that's enough.If you want to help the country at night, that sounds interesting, and I'll help you. "

Claire keeps saying the same thing.Giggles and laughs. Very gentle.

"Just let the guy who grabbed you preach."

... I can imagine Krah preaching to a grey dragon.Yeah, it suits me.

"Hmm... honestly, I don't think I know that.I didn't do it on my own. If you're going to ask me for help, I'm going to push the Demon King, but I'm going to grab people and kill them and make them the sun... and I don't think it's gonna happen again. "

Lyla is a little tough. However... Lila also said this with a sigh.

"... but...I saw the sketchbook of corn... and thought it would be a shame if it was destroyed.Beautiful things are not guilty.Besides, well... you want to help, don't you?Night Country "

"Yeah."

I nodded clearly, thinking it would be nice.

I'm glad that Lyla, who gives me a cynical opinion, still thinks, "It's too bad it's destroyed," and if it's my sketchbook that made me think about it, I'm even happier!

"Isn't that good?Whatever you want. You're going to draw something and solve it, aren't you?Well, if there's anything I can do to help, I'll help you.Instead, show me the country at night.I want to draw too. "

"Of course! Thank you!

If you can help the country at night and walk freely, let's take Lyla around.Would you take over the information if I asked Rene and Tark?So, paint lots of nighttime landscapes!

"As a countermeasure, I think it would be better to divide the magic of light in this world, or I could paint the sun again, and divide it into night countries."

In the meantime, I think that's the best way to do it.

With a small sun, we can earn time to perish.So, first of all, that's how you extend your life in the land of night...

"You mean prolonging your life?But in that case, the problem is the brave one. "

When I thought about it, Princess Large leaned and roared. [M]

"If the Night Land is re-sealed, it will be difficult to help.Whether you're looking for another way to extend your life or not, you want more time.It would still be more convenient not to have a hero..... "

Oh, yeah, that's right!

The King wants to seal the Demon King without a hero, and the hero may be born somewhere on his own, so if the Night Kingdom of each Demon King is sealed, there will be no life extension, no sun, nothing!

"Hmm, that's hard.Anyway, waiting for the Demon King to invade will make our world a mess... Either way, it won't take much time. "

Well... I thought if the two worlds worked together, something good would come up while I was buying time, but I don't have time to do it...I'm in trouble.

"Well... as far as I'm concerned, if you think about both this world and the land of night, it would be best to defeat the Demon King rather than seal it."

If you were in trouble, that's what Mr Mersen said.... ah, I didn't think about that.I see. But if the Demon King is gone, it will be solved.

"But when I become a Demon King, I wonder if the Knights of the Forest can defeat me just by their strength...."

Mr. Mersen is roaring... but...

"... you can't defeat the Devil King, so you're sealing it.That's what I read in the book. "

That's what Lian says.By the way, Lian has been reading a lot lately.Carnelia's favorite fairy tales, children's books, and many books that were born with the printing revolution in Red Gard territory.... my God, Lian can read all the letters already!

"Sure. I have read such a book before.Well, the Devil King will stand up to it with the power of a brave man.Even if we're wrong, I don't think we're just one knight standing up to it. "

"In the first place, you're trying to push the Demon King into our world or grab Corn because the Demon King can't be defeated in the night country, right?Even here, brave men are involved... and it seems difficult. "

"By the way, why would a demon king eat light?Is it delicious? Maybe I should try some too!

"The moon's light is delicious.Ah, if I make a cake with light, I wonder if it tastes good...Let me ask the fairy... I wonder if the cake is difficult... "

... the story is derailing!Huh? Huh? Ange ate the moon's light!?No, no, let's leave the story of whether the light is delicious right now...!

"Uh, uh, I want you to see this illustration."

I'll expand the book and show you the page. [M]

"... illustration?

"Yeah. Illustration. This one.Demon King's Picture "

Seeing the "illustration" I showed, Lyla looks surprised.

It's not just a picture of the night sky.

... yeah. Yes, it is.

The illustration written "Demon King" looks like the night sky spreads over the town, at dusk or something.Although it is difficult to understand because it is an illustration drawn in only one color of black ink...

"... eh, maybe"

Everyone, including Lyla... both Marsen and Interlia look like they're "hee."

"The Devil King seems to be spreading into the sky..."

... it seems that the Devil King is covering up the night sky.

In other words, the starry sky pattern, the moon is full of patterns... it seems like such a huge thing!

"... that's enough.Does that mean it is suspicious whether it is a living thing or not?It seems difficult to defeat the Demon King. "

"Yeah."

While nodding to Laocles with a sinister face, I consult everyone. [M]

"... so I wondered how I could help the people of the Night Land..."

"It's hard....."

Crowe starts worrying too.We're all worried. I mean, you have to do something about this big creature that's covering up the sky all over the world...

"If such a big creature becomes the opponent, can't I slash it with the sword of a brave man...?Immediately before the seal, there was a statement in the royal book that the hero would come to the seal after he had bathed the Demon King with a dagger..... "

"In the first place, if the corn uses the sword of the brave, it becomes a brush, right?It's impossible. "

Lian cut it off and threw it away.I want you to be thrown away.You're right, though.You're right!

"Do you want me to ask the bird?Sure, when the bird used it, it turned into a beautiful sword, right?Surprise, a sword made of light might work for the Devil.

Ugh... I don't want to be able to rely on birds any more than I do.Look, the birds are looking out the window."Did you call me?".I didn't call you!

I see. Either way, with a brush.... "

"... brush, hey"

"Brush..."

"Fu...."

... everyone stared at the void with an unspeakable face, and suddenly came up with something, looking at me like that...

Um... Why don't you paint the demon king?It's empty. "

Lyla said something terrible!
