― ― In the early morning of the next day, when Taeda and Lina went to the Kingdom Hospital to visit Shizuka and Tsuru, Lina asked Taeda on the roadside.

"Hey Takata, why didn't you go when I told you I found the location of the Gate of Paradise (Paradise Gate)?" I don't know what I'm talking about, but crockies are going to beat you! "

Takata listened to her as she walked and stopped her. Then suddenly he laughed,

"Hahaha! It can't be that easy to find." Besides... even if I could find him, he wouldn't be the one who could open that giant gate! "

"... what do you mean?"

"Well, I've seen it before, so I can say it!"

Takata gulps bottled water with a smile.

- Time goes back a little.

Beaten to the north by Lina, Crockey wandered through the woods for an hour, chasing the pillar of light at full speed as she saw it rising in the depths of the forest.

Whether it was stumbling on the root of a tree, or kicking through a flock of demon beasts, it ran towards her mouth.

"There... there's Yusuke over there!" Please wait! I'll, I'll get there! "

Crockey was able to defeat the Golem, thought to be the gatekeeper, with a single blow from the demonic beast cannon, and reach the giant gate that emits divine light.

"This is the gate of paradise..."

Crockey looks up at this giant gate, which has long been said to be the product of a fantasy that he has been searching for, and spills 60 years of tears.

"Come on! What are you waiting for?" the first step in my new life.... "

Crockey grasped the handle of the gate and tried to open it with force, but the gate did not twitch.

"Why! Why don't you open it!?" Why can't you go ahead when you say you've come this far!? "

Crockey noticed the inscription next to the gate and began to read the text.

"What... if you don't want to open this gate, you'll have to see the world again..."

The silence lasted for a while. But it didn't take me long to learn the fact that it was impossible to open this gate.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Immediately after the crockery went crazy, the giant gate that emits divine light vanishes flashily as it keeps emitting light.

"I, it's been 60 years since I've been here... I never thought I'd crush you so lightly..."

Crockey's joy of fulfilling his grief was instantly dispersed, leaving nothing but despair.

"Oh my God, it looks like you couldn't get past that gate after all. Principal Crockey."

"Ah!?"

I was stunned to see the man in the iron mask who appeared from behind the desperate crockery and the code 04 next to it.

"I'm surprised that you, the great boss of the Dark Guild, can get to this place! Megildo Black Destark..."

I was hoping you wouldn't say that name here, though.

"You mean you're going to get rid of me?" You don't have to say it or you don't have to say it. "

"True, the Dark Guild (we) will cooperate with any organization with strong power that agrees with our ideas, but if there is no salvation, we will relentlessly deal with it." It's an old date. You know that, don't you? "

"Oh, you know what, I used my guys to get rid of them." So I'm sure I'll be erased here, but why are you here? "

"Oh, this is all just a personal affair." You've been working with us for a long time. That's why I wanted to get rid of you myself, not your men. "

"... I see."

Crockey murmured in a small voice, and the man in the iron mask raised his index and middle fingers on his right hand. Then he released a creepy wave from his fingertips and walked away as if he had done nothing.

Farewell, my dear collaborator.

Behind them was a crockery that remained stationary. Then cracks ran all over his body and shattered like glass.

― ― Demon Beast Realm · Endless Dragon Castle

This is the Demon Beast Realm. In the dimly lit purple sky there is a white earth, and in the end of it there is a castle wrapped around a dragon giant. Its name is Demon Dragon Castle. A creepy aura was emitted from the Dinobot Castle, and a red lightning bolt ran from above it. Every time a thunderbolt struck, I could see a glimpse of the Dinobot Castle hiding in the dark.

The castle is inhabited by many vicious demons and beasts, and the pressure of their magic power is not very strong, but it is not a place for people to enter. But in such a huge castle, a human-sized man in a mask dives through the gate.

The beasts naturally noticed that the man had entered the castle, but no one approached the man's higher magic power.

You've come this far, Code-01 (Zero-One). Deep down, the Demon Beast King Xiu is waiting for you.

More than 10 meters away, a giant gorilla beast with three faces and six arms came from the back of the room. It seemed that this demonic beast could speak equally with this high-powered masked man.

"Oh, show me."

The masked man, Code 01, takes off his hood and walks behind the giant gorilla that guides him.

"Hey, that guy, he's talking to the first officer, the Sword King!"

"He's a nanimon!"

The demon beasts, who seemed to be soldiers with a risk level of about 10, were terrified of Code-01 walking behind the guide's demon beast.

The gorilla and Code-01 went up to the top floor and stood in front of a huge door in the middle of it. The door is big enough to look like a feather even a doorman over 10 meters long.

I've taken the King of the Demon Beast and his messenger.

Get in

The magic force released by the beast's reply in the room slammed the huge door.

The guide's demonic beast pushed the door forcefully and slowly opened it.

And beyond that door is a room with a live venue. Before that, there was a demon beast in the form of a dragon sitting on the throne. Even if you sit in a chair, you will be lightly over seven meters.

Only the guide's demonic beast left first, and when the door slowly closed, the dragon's demonic beast, thought to be the demonic beast king, opened its mouth.

It's been a long time, have you really been Code 04?

"No, I'm Code 01. Besides, it's not the first time in a long time. Demon Beast King»

"I see, it's nice to meet you." Your masks are so confusing, I don't know. "

The Demon Beast King laughed exultantly when he said so. Every time I laughed, a wave of magic blew up, and the castle began to shake heavily.

"So, can you kill me?"

When the Demon Beast King suddenly asked a shocking question, Code-01 heard the question and laughed with his nose.

It's impossible to do that, isn't it?

"Well, that's true."

"However, there may be a man in the human world who will be your threat eventually....."

The Demon Beast King suddenly stopped laughing at the words of Code 01.

"Tell me more about it."

“Yes, that's why I'm here today.”

The weather in the Demon Beast Realm was more rough than usual. Everyone felt that way when they looked at the Dinobot Castle.

─ ─ As you head straight south through the Marianne Kingdom, an icy island floats at the end of it.

In the center of the icy island stone statues imitating giant human figures were standing, worshipping people as if they were surrounding them.

"Twinkle, twinkle! To the god of wicked destruction!" To destroy the evil gods who harm the world! "

When one man prays so, the others continue to pray. This mysterious ritual lasted for several dozen minutes, and when the ritual was over, the man who was directing the ritual was watching footage of a machine with an LCD screen. It was a video taken by the Adventure News Corporation while the Dragon Slaying Amamiya and the Dark Water Vantea were fighting.

"The power that hurts the world, the power of evil gods." The demon that deals with it. He will destroy us all! "

The man doesn't like the footage and crushes the LCD. And as he went up to the stage, he turned to a group of people in black clothes,

"Everyone in the crowd! Raise your weapons! Prepare to destroy the evil!”

The unimaginable heat of the Ice Island boosts the island's morale.

― ― ● About a month passed since the attack on the capital city of the Crimean Academy.

Shizuka and the adventurers were no longer in the Kingdom Hospital west of Marianes. However, there was still a man sleeping on the bed on the floor above the hospital room used by Shizuka and the others.

Even though it's been six months since then, I haven't woken up yet

Sleeping on the bed, Ichigo (Yashen) speaks to Juedi's rheomalts and places an apple on the table beside him in Shizuka. Aegis Gantuck, staring at the rheomalt that sleeps next to him, left the hospital room with the bouquet of flowers he had always bought in a vase. Shortly after, however, a refreshing breeze blows through the window, shaking Leomart's forehead. His closed eyes slowly opened.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even though it was a cherry blossom tree, the petals of the cherry blossoms were quite scattered in mid-May.

In the tomb where the old lady was about to go, there was an ancestor, and the old man was watering the tomb.

"Regis, you're here, too."

"Rame, Seth, Joe, Crockey, we used to be good friends. Since when has our hearts been connected, and now I am the only one?"

Ragis remembers his old companion while watering him. Tsubaki silently listened to it. Raisisis sprinkles water on the tombs in the order of Rehm, Kaoru, Zeus, and Crockey. After he sprinkles water on everyone, he joins hands. Next to that, Tsubaki sat down and put her hands together.

"I don't know about anything else, but at least Jee and Jeez's old man were happy to share their memories with you!" That's why it's not cut! You're still connected. "

Takata says so, watering the tombs of Vante and Jamino next to Crockey, and the tomb next to it that says Lante, a little old.

(Even if it's an enemy who fought for their lives, we should never cut our ties with them. If you die, you'll only have memories.)

Takata thought so and looked over the tombs she had built all over the area.

Saying goodbye to Regis, Takata sprints across the bike.

"Gradually I saved up and finally built my dream home!" We can finally take the first step there today! ”

Takata was exhilarated, aiming to build a new house in the countryside, a little away from the Marianess Kingdom while jumping on a motorcycle in vain.

Takata's new house was almost as luxurious as a typical noble house. However, there was no servant in the house, and Takata was free to spend time.

"My dream is to spend a graceful time alone in a mansion where there is no one!" Yeah, let's get started! The strongest adventurer lives alone in a mansion, and slow life is here now! ”

Takata opened the door vigorously with a face full of hope, and there was.....

"... hah?"

"Oh! Takata! Welcome back!" I've bought a lot of ingredients, so get ready for today's New Construction Memorial Party! ”

"Ah, Taijun!" I only had a table and a chair for one person, so I prepared two ten-person sizes! "

"Oh, fatty!" I bought a huge bed because it felt like only one person could sleep on the bed in the bedroom! Of course, with your fat money. "

"Yo, Takata!" When I saw your training room, I was pretty lonely, so I brought a lot of my training equipment! "

As soon as she opened the door, Lina, Rosé, Shizuka, and Tsuru, who were relaxing in the living room for some reason, spoke to each other in turn.

"Why are you... here"

"Ah, Takata-san!" Thank you for the bath! It felt so good! "

No, I didn't say I could say a word.

From the bathroom, Yuma and Mayu, whose bodies were on fire, instantly put Tsukumi in.

I remodeled a room to create a magic radio reception room because you're always slow to rush into the fuss!

No, don't modify it on your own.

Dearla and Jason walked into the living room, their faces covered in soot, spinning their spanners. Takata was caught walking around with a black footprint, but she was about to boil.

After that, Tom, Yang Huo, Somari, Minako, Haebon, and Potov came to the living room in a row.

"Amamiya! I put Rosé-san's calendar on the toilet so that you can know Rosé-san's goodness!"

……

"Takata-san! Which of these cool Takata-san pillows and sweet Takata-san pillows can you sleep well?"

……

"Amamiya-kun, actually, Mina and I made a short bob!" Looking good? But I'm glad you have so many mirrors in your room! Thanks to you, I was able to cut it without making a mistake! "

……

"Ah, Amamiya-senpai! I was promoted to the third place in the series of" "Gold Rank Adventurer" "because of the previous incident!"

……

The good news of Haibon didn't come into Takata's ear at all because of the story of the first three shits. And the last Potov that came in, he stabbed Takuta in the end.

"Taedun! The desired adventurer, Idol Kirara, decorated the house with goods..."

ZDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Takuta's heavy fist is pounded into Potov's greasy belly. Potov rushed into the toilet with his abdomen held down while his face turned pale. Then, the chaotic sound of lightning falling from the toilet combined with the sound of a torrential river echoed. Takata gets nauseous when she hears the sound.

Then, from behind Takata, the photographer who was sticking it all over the house rubbed his chest muscles.

"Get the Pectoralis Major of Platinum!"

When Kirara enjoyed the moment of bliss, Takata grabbed her hand vigorously and carried it on her back. Kirara turned toward Tatsuya while holding the tailbone, and she was stunned by the creepy expression of Tatsuya's dead fish-like eyes laughing.

"Hehehe... I hate you guys after all..."

Kaoru mumbled, her mind twitched and she collapsed.

His dream mansion, Slow Life, lived alone, opened its doors and crushed them to perfection.
