We were in charge of the two people who fell after that and hid ourselves in a nearby cave.
Meanwhile, Mentila put healing magic on the two of us, and I'm on that watch.
That's when I realized it was starting to rain a little outside.
"... rain"
I was looking up into the sky from inside the cave.
I can't see the stars, I can't see the sun.
But I couldn't help but notice why.
"Mentila. We can win, right?
"... I don't know. But we have to win. For that, I'll kill her. Even as many times as you want."
"... sorry"
"Yeah. It's not about you apologizing. The bad news is, I cornered her that far... myself."
"Oh no...!
... No word of denial.
He's not bad. But I knew it wasn't all Dahlia's fault.
surroundings, breaking up with Mentila.
It is obvious that they have distorted her.
"... Speaking of which, I've always wondered, okay?
"Yeah? What?
"Well, why was Mentila doing your thing? That, and hide it to the power..."
"Because I'm Mentila. Michelle is already dead.... That's what I thought, I didn't want to fight"
"But because of that, I let my friend... Bettenburg die"
... A voice that hides tears clings to the cave.
I look away from his face and look up into the sky.
"But at the end of the day Bettenburg entrusted it to me. I'm sure he got out of the carriage to keep you from fighting."
"... thanks. I might be resting, but I'm happy."
... That said, Mentila looks up.
Rin face, as if you were ready.
At that time, a voice leaked out of Zahr's mouth.
"... ugh, ugh"
"Ah, Zahr. Good morning. Are you okay with the injury yet?
"Mr. Mentila...... Yes, thank you."
That's all Zahr says, putting on the glasses he had placed near his head and leaning against the nearby wall.
That's when I questioned my head.
"... Zahr, why are you a tribute to Mentila?
"Hmm?... Oh, because he's the benefactor of my life. In the last world, I had him help me by accident."
"Really? What happened to you?
"... well, that was a lot"
I look away and get distracted.
... a lot of things.
"Why is Mentila in our world?
"... I had a lot going on, too. Yeah, you have a lot of life."
Mentila hits and changes from her earlier eyes and has a distant eye.
I feel like I'm hiding something, but it would also be wild to reveal that I'm making fun of it this way.
"... heh. Bye, Zahr. Just one last thing, okay?
"Oh."
"You, are you human?
"... ugh!?
Zahr is clearly upset by my words.
After all, he is a man of our world.
"... oh. It's human. So what?
"So is it true that people other than you are not human...?
"Mr. Mentila, you said it"
Zahr stares at Mentila over the lens.
But he also stared back at Zahr's eyes again.
"... technically not. I'm the only one in the sense of pure human beings, but there are others who can't."
"Really?
"Oh. It is the demons of that world who are nothing but impossible people"
... For a moment, I didn't know what you were talking about.
The demons, the humans? We're the magic, they're the humans?
"Lying, right?
"True. The magic of each other is all around, the precarious being who has acquired flesh. That's what I'd call a critical human being."
"... then what are you!? Are you a Demon?
"Oh. I'm the perfect demon... I mean, I was called the Demon King"
"Demon King". To a word I miss so much, I didn't know what it was about.
But I understand the meaning of the word.
"Demon King...? You put a seal on me...?
"Oh. That's for sure"
"Why are you alive...?
"It's Mr. Mentila's healing magic. Sealing has reincarnated you into another world to evacuate the laws of the wise. The magic seal was meant to hide your presence."
"What are you talking about!? Why, you, the Demon King, helped me!?
"... to repay my debt to you"
Borrowing? What are you talking about?
I don't remember making a debt to the Demon King. Besides, there shouldn't have been a wise man's law in our world.
"... were you aware that that war itself was propaganda?
"What? That war itself, propaganda?
"Oh. That was a war to show the superiority of your power and let nations know how the law of the wise is an excellent teaching. Why hasn't anyone survived that evidence?
"That's because each other's power was in equilibrium..."
"Then that's not weird if someone escaped before the war. Because they're unlikely to survive."
... Sure, it's unusual to think about annihilating each other but me now.
Speaking of which, I should have had my doubts then.
Why didn't you try to understand about them? and.
Finally figured out, why didn't I even try to settle with them then?
"No way, Dahlia..."
"Oh. Since then, he's wanted your power and tried to destroy everything. To destroy numerous otherworlds and avenge man."
... From Mentila, I hear teeth eating up.
We have to stop her. For Mentila, and for her.
I grabbed my own dagger softly.
