The Road to One Day Be the Strongest
Shadow - 039 Mother's Past
afterwards.
To Ulstan, Forest Country, scream until late at night and say, 'Begin the execution! Fuhahahahaha!' so much so that the voices of these crazy people are resounding and are no longer becoming a new specialty of the Forest Nation.
In the meantime.
While I was lit by the full moon, I shoved my back against the trunk of a tree and squealed like this.
"... Night out at this hour is not praiseworthy of the actions of a mother with a daughter. Elsa."
"... oh, I didn't realize you were wearing terrible technology."
To my words, Elsa looked back and opened her mouth with blood on her cheek for some reason.
There was also a lot of bright red blood on his arm, and I twitched my mouth like a scratch. [M]
"I can do it to a certain extent if I care about it, too. That's why we abduct some idiots from the country who don't like them, and we'll probably keep them alive until they're dying in the woods - something like that."
"Oh no... you say things as if you've seen them"
"Well, I was watching."
I answer that with my silver left eye. [M]
It was this country where the snort shouted until earlier, but there are no longer elders, elf leaders, and that elf that used treasure to the nails in this country.
Until then, I'm not going to mention...
"Why did you move? I'll take care of the dirty work. You should stay with your daughter tonight or so."
"It's dirty work, that's why I do it."
That's what I tell you, Elsa.
I frowned at the words, but the next moment, I accidentally stiffened myself to the words Elsa had spoken.
"Mr. Ginn. You're afraid of killing people, aren't you?
…………
I couldn't answer the words, I just stood still. [M]
"Miko - maybe it's easier for you to tell me Kanekura, or Reaper, that the other side was a peaceful enough world to walk outside without a weapon? That's the world. I guess I never used violence against anyone else. Such people are murderers and so on... they can't possibly do it with their normal mental abilities. Even if I could, I wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure."
... No, that's a little different.
To be precise, I can't help but be afraid to kill someone who makes sense.
Bandits, nobles, demons and great demons, and earlier Medusa.
I've killed all sorts of beings, not me.
Still - I still can't just fade that fear.
The day you kill someone, you can't fall asleep.
The day you killed Lucifer, the day you killed the bandit who destroyed Zero's hometown, and that's the same thing today.
"It's not like this... I know I can't live in this world"
"No, that's your strength, not your weakness. Don't forget that fear."
I smile back at the words. [M]
I'm sure if my people get pinched, I'll throw this fear away without getting lost, and I'll never be able to remember it again.
That's why I don't give answers to those words, and I can't stop making promises. I don't know anything about the future.
Then she looked up at the sky as she deposited her back in the trunk of a nearby tree to see what she had done with my bitter smile.
There was just a moonlight leaking out of the gaps in the trees, and she leaked a potpourri, a high voice.
"Sushi, can I talk to you back in the day?".
Once upon a time, somewhere.
There was also a famous fairy woman in the world.
She's so beautiful, what she looked like, old and young, falling in love. - Huh? Don't you need that?... Yes, okay, I'll take it seriously.
This was over twenty years ago now.
That fairy clan, who retired as an adventurer and has no hobby whatsoever, met one God one day.
The name of that god is - Medusa, the Serpent God.
He is the son of Uranos, the god of time and space - the chaos of the moment, the brother of Chaos.
- Love at first sight, was.
It wasn't about being particularly handsome or anything, but wonder attracted her to the person, and it didn't take much longer until we promised each other a future.
To be precise...... right. About a week...... what is that eye? It's like saying, 'I don't like it when you're going to hear me vivid talk' but you keep saying... Don't worry, I'm not going to say anything that's going to be such a vocabulary.
But the relationship - well, let's call it marriage at this time.
It is contraindicated that fairies marry other races.
She was the king at the time - or the current king - but because of her friendship with the person, she didn't want to disconnect from this country as much as possible.
That's why she was secretly recommending a relationship with Medusa...... so one thing went wrong.
- Yes, a new life sprouted in her stomach.
She decided to disappear as much as possible and live secluded in the depths of the woods, haunting her head with that growing tummy.
The friendly king, though, must have been worried about her suddenly disappearing from the country.
We sent out a search party consisting of a large number of people to search the surrounding woods without fail.
And as a result, what they found was a monster of half a serpent they'd never even seen and how she made her stomach look happy when she grew up beside it.
The king was furious with that, too.
More than anything else, you know...
I don't remember any words after that. I don't know because I punched him on the way there.
Soon afterwards, Medusa disappeared and, being alone, she had numerous cross-cutting discussions with the King.
And a few weeks after that, she and he came to that idea in an attempt to rally this case by attaching a single contract.
What she wanted was for the kid to make a lot of friends.
What the king wanted was for her to leave this country because of her physique.
Hence.
What she promised by contract was that she would leave this country herself. not to interfere in any way with persons belonging to the State and not to step into the State, with the exception of rescue operations;
What the king promised by his covenant was that he would continue to protect his son for as long as he had his own life. That I love that child. And most importantly, make her happy.
I asked Luna Lord, the Demon King, to keep that contract. The contract was created by her over the years. The concurrent fairy clan is, of course, a substitute that even I cannot disarm.
But I had no regrets for her at the time.
That's all I trusted the king at the time.
- The despair when that trust was shattered, it was already terrible.
It's been a few years since she left the country, and it's when I asked a dark elf I know to go check on the country.
I wonder if I've made friends. I guess I enjoy doing it.
Yes, I was waiting for the dark elves to return as they danced my mind, but what the dark elves brought back - was the worst information.
The covenant she made to the king did not serve as one, but rather was being stifled by people from all over the country. Yes, the dark elf told her.
Moreover, according to the story, when Dark Elf saw it, the daughter was in danger of her life, and although she managed to retain her life, she would definitely die as it was here, yes, Dark Elf said.
Without getting lost, she accompanied that dark elf to the forest country.
And what I waited for there was the figure of that daughter who was flushed into the river, thrown out in front of demons, not fed, and wielded violence by a large adult.
She was going to be able to handle it with anger.
But I can't break that contract. Even if you break it, your life will just be scattered at that point. The contract, to name a few, was created by Luna over the years. I can't solve it unless Luna takes a similar amount of time to work with it.
So she asked Luna for help, and if she could help at all, she always went to her daughter when she was in danger.
And this is what it is decided.
"Live," he said.
She couldn't say anything more.
Anyway, she created this situation.
Because that's the hell her optimism created.
So she put all her thoughts into that one word and told her every time - to live.
In the meantime, Mr. Ginn seems to know, but that incident happened.
That piece of junk I just disposed of - the elf leader and the others demolished my daughter's house and tried to kill her for real.
I immediately headed there, where I waited for the appearance of my daughter squatting with her stomach down and - the appearance of one familiar green snake.
'... oh? You... are Nail's mother?
That's what the snake said at the opening.
Snake said, apparently, Medusa - her husband created another self into her daughter's body in exchange for that life, and has been protecting that daughter ever since.
The biggest feature of Medusa is its resilience, no matter what.
He said that every time his daughter suffered a dying wound, another Medusa living within her daughter had used her own power, and had allowed her to extend her life until that day, to delude herself.
Knowing that fact, she wept.
That my beloved husband had worked so hard for me.
And to myself, where my daughter can't do anything while she wakes up so badly.
She leaked a whimper and wept.
But this is what the snake who saw it said.
"Fortunately, unfortunately, an earlier man said he would expel this child from the interior. This will cancel the contract you entered into…. Personally, Elsa, I don't want to entrust this girl to you, but the dark elves there. You can take care of this girl."
Naturally.
The snakes, though Medusa, are completely separate from her beloved husband. The general memory seems to be shared, but still believable or unbelievable is another thing.
She decided, as Medusa put it, to temporarily keep her daughter in a dark elf, and she sealed Medusa back into her daughter's body and then disappeared from before her daughter.
... This is a little old story I wanted to tell you.
