It was the same even after the meal was brought in, and Nil used an automatic system whereby Nil ate the food brought to his mouth without doing anything.

Penetta seems to be having fun, but above all... Nil has a very troubled face.

The penetration that I noticed clouds my face a little.

"... I'm sorry... let me hang out.

"What happened suddenly?

A penetration with eyebrows raised and face down.

"We royals haven't played or eaten much with our brothers and sisters in a long time.

……

"But only the Third Princess Sheena was different.

"Third princess... sister.

"Just like me, with light green hair and eyes. My hair was cute.

Come to me if you have time, play or eat. He came to see me almost every day. Sister. Sister....

Even though it doesn't look alike... Nirvana is layering Sheena on top of her... "

A penetration that begins to weep with bumps and large grains.

When I heard that my parents and brothers and sisters had died, I stood at the forefront of the people as the tribal king without any time to grieve or cry. I guess those thoughts are overflowing now.

"I'm sorry..."

Tears are overflowing, whether you wipe them or not. I told the Lord about my sister, but I'm sure she was close to the other brothers and sisters.

I think there are a lot of thoughts piled up in the penetration now.

"Uhh... uhh..."

My usual cool face is gone.

It was not a tribal king or a royal family, but a woman who had just lost her relatives.

Nil took Penetta's hand quietly, and looked straight into his eyes and said.

"Think of me as your sister... sister.

"Nh!!

Nil's words were overflowing with tears on her cheeks.

Peneta held Nil tightly and cried loudly.

What is lost will never come back.

There is no cure for the sorrow.

All I could do was put my hands on the necklace and hear Penetta cry.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

"I'm sorry... my dinner has gotten cold.

"I don't care. I'll have a warm dinner with you tomorrow.

"... I see... Nirvana.

"Please call me Nil.

"Fufu. Nil, why don't you join us for dinner tomorrow?

"Yes, sister!

"Thank you, I can still do my best tomorrow!

Oh, this is the last time. Sinya, it's about time. Why don't we head for the World Tree?

I see. Let me do that. Nil, let's go.

Yes!

Break up with Penetta and go around the back of the castle.

"Nil, thank you.

"Huh? What's going on?

"I couldn't do anything to Penetta. Thank God Nil is here. I don't know what to do when a woman crys..."

"Fufufu."

"What?

"Even though you're not afraid of anyone, if a woman cries, you can't say anything.

"Ugh... don't be mean. I think I have to say something, but I don't know what to say... my head turns pure white..."

"Fufufu."

Nil laughs small. Nil looks like she's grown up somewhere at this time.

"Is that what you mean?

"Sounds like it.

When you reach the side of the world tree, there is a narrow staircase that leads up on the side of the trunk of the tree. It's a wooden staircase with no railings or anything.

It continues to the roots of the world's trees, from where it folds back up to the top.

"Where does it go?

"You'll find out when you go.

Slowly, step by step, you climb a narrow staircase.

Climb up the roots of the world trees, fold back, and climb further up.

"Well, that's getting really expensive.

"Much higher than the royal castle..."

"Don't look down..."

I'm not afraid of heights, but I'm still afraid of heights and I don't have any handrails.

"I see something..."

You can see a light fluorescent light at the top of the stairs.

"Almost there.

Yes!

At last, the trunk of the world tree was depressed and there was a space with a depth of 10 meters.

"This is... amazing..."

Light bugs glow fluorescently in all of that space. A large, concave, spherical space will temporarily take away your eyes.

"Was this light leaking..."

"It's so beautiful..."

Pichon....

Drops from somewhere shake the light of the pale light bug in front of you.

"You're kidding...? Was there water here?

Too quiet water surface and beautiful clear water.

I thought it was a spherical space to the bottom, but it was actually a hemispherical space, and I just didn't realize that the top surface was reflected on the surface of the water.

"Amazing..."

As your eyes get used to it, you can see the surface of the cavity illuminated by the light bug. There are algae growing everywhere, and the water seems to be dripping from there.

The water coming down from the surface of the world tree is probably accumulating here.

"I really can't say this..."

"You have such a beautiful sight in the world.

"Screenshot!

"Suk...?

"I mean when I want to cut and decorate!

"Fufufu, you sure look so beautiful.

But isn't it beautiful because you can't cut it off?

"Oh, you're saying something profound. Maybe you're right.

…………

……………

"... Master.

"What?

"Will you listen to me?

"Sure, just tell me what you want to hear.

"... yes.

Nil takes a big breath and exhales slowly.

Pichon...

The water droplets fall and the water surface shakes.

"I have one for your husband. I'm hiding something big.

……

"From now on, I want to expose that secret...

"Are you sure I can ask?

"... yes. I want you to ask your husband.

"Okay.

"Phew......"

………

Passa.....

"Huh?!

Nil suddenly takes off his clothes.

"No, what are you doing?!

"I think it's faster for you to see it than to say it in words..."

Her face turned red, but Nil's eyes were serious.

Now that I've told you to listen properly, it's not a warm time... but what kind of situation is this?!

Speaking of girls, you look like a strange girl in front of you! You don't have to be Lolicon, it's NG!!

"Phew... here we go.

Nil exhaled a lot as he was.

Then a black moya appeared, covering her whole body.

"Ha?! What is this!?

The black moya slowly clears up after covering Nil's entire body.

"Whoa, whoa..."

Standing in the clear, black moya was a woman with long, straight silver hair like snow, clear eyes like sapphire, clear white skin...

I described it as a woman because it wasn't Nil, the little girl I was always looking at, but her height, her face, her chest, everything grew up.

The contours are also clear, and the appearance of more beauty is, as you can imagine, a leaning beauty.

The chest hidden in your arms grows big and you can't look directly at it.

Perhaps sixteen or seventeen, if it applies to the age of man. It feels a little lower than Shinya.

I thought it suddenly grew up... but when I looked closely, I noticed that it had a long, smooth black tail stretching from my waist.

"Tail...?

"Yes... I am... a demon.

An exquisite beauty standing in the light of a pale light worm with a slightly glossy voice on her voice that looked like the sound of a bell, turning her red face toward us. It was definitely Nirvana.

"I heard that the demons... can be turned into people..."

"Yes, I've always been a demon.

"Can I change the size of my body..."

"Yes."

"Su, that's amazing...."

From top to bottom, Nirvana did grow. The fact that it was haunted means that this is what Nirvana actually looks like...

... not if you're observing it calmly!

Hand Nil the robe you were weaving.

"And put this on for now.

"Ha, yes..."

"Why did you take it off?!

"Well... when I look like this, my clothes..."

"Ah! It's gonna tear! I'm not convinced! Then you had a lot of ways to put on your robe first!?

"Ah...."

"Ah...

"Well... I'm so nervous..."

"I see...."

"... yes..."

…………

Come on, it's awkward...

No, let's hear more now.

"Well, I've never seen a demon before, but you have a tail, right?

"For now... there are horns.

Nil lowered his head.

A little above the forehead. There are two black triangles standing slightly in my hair.

"Heh, can I touch it?

"Yes, yes.

When I touch my head, I feel a hard horn in the back of my rough silver hair.

"Well, what do you think?

"Huh? Oh. It's smaller and cuter than I thought.

"I see. If you put magic into it, it will get bigger.

"Huh?! Really?!

"There are other feathers.

"Feathers?! It's amazing..."

"... Master, even though you still know the demons, you're not afraid.

"Huh? Is it usually something to be afraid of?

"It's called the demon tribe..."

"If you say that, the Holy Knights are holy to God? You can't find a single element like that. No, it was set to believe in God...

Either way, it's a bunch of scum. If the Knights of the Holy Knights were like that, on the contrary, the Demons wouldn't be surprised by all the good people.

"Let's see... I'm sure it is..."

And Nil is Nil.

"Fufu. Thank you very much. I knew it was good to show this to your husband.

"I hardly know anything about the Devil Clan, can you tell me more?

"Yes, that's what I wanted to show you.

Sitting side-by-side with Nil, the pitchers and droplets fall on the surface.

"First of all, the first thing you need to know is... the demon race. That's the name given to the Knights of the Holy Order.

"Huh? Really?

"Yes, the Holy Knights are good at magic of light, and we are good at magic of darkness. That's also a big factor, but there's another one. We believe in a completely different god from the Knights.

"Surely the Knights of the Holy Order believed in a goddess named Ishurbar, right?

"Yes, we have long believed in the goddess Floystole.

Because of the different gods they believe in, the Holy Knights now call us evil and demonic.

Later, as the word "demon tribe" penetrated, we became persecuted from almost all other species.

"I see. It means you're dating someone.

"Yes. Still, our demons and the Holy Knights were fighting back, and they kept competing against each other. But about a decade ago, the Knights of the Holy Order made a big move.

Did you take in other forces?

"Yes. When I was a little girl, I knew it was a demonic crisis… I believed in the legacy of the demons I heard from my father and left the house alone.

"What happened to the people at home?

"Honestly, I don't remember. It was when I was little... I can't even remember my father's face...

I'm... actually seventeen. I last saw my father more than ten years ago... "

"Isn't it wonderful if you don't remember...

But what kind of legend does Nil jump out of?

"To put it simply… when the time comes for us Demons to stand in trouble, a hero will appear to save us…

"Common fairy tales?

"That's right. Maybe it's a fairy tale for kids to read...

"Believing in fairy tales and jumping out of the house... you're an over-active kid..."

"I thought I could do it alone because I had arrived at my father and left the magical world several times.

"So maybe Nil's father was a merchant or something... Could he have been captured and enslaved then?

"... yes. I was relieved to imitate the appearance of the human race... whether it was a human race or another race... I didn't understand that girls walking alone would be targeted by those people.

"... how unlucky..."

"Maybe it's bad luck. More than ten years since becoming a slave. I've spent time with this shackle... but now that I've met your husband, I never think of it as bad luck. I'm really happy to serve your husband.

Besides, I've always believed in that legacy… even now.

"A legend shackled in nil, right? Do you still believe that?

"Yes, the heroes in the legend are said to have certain characteristics. There was an emblem in the weapon that I lowered on my waist.

"... maybe..."

"Yes, the emblem of a woman's lateral face and feathers that I saw when I first saw your husband. This is the emblem of Watanabe.

"So, at first, you screamed to see that emblem and buy it.

"Yes, and Master treats me the same way even now that I know that I am a demon.

Ten years before I became a slave and met your husband was certainly painful... but now I'm so happy that I'm about to forget that.

"No, legacy is just legacy, right? Besides, even if that legend is true, there's no proof that I'm the one who handed it over, right?

"It is certainly a legacy, and your husband may not be the hero who will appear in that legacy. But even if it wasn't, I wouldn't mind. I myself can serve a truly trusted master. That alone makes me happy.

………

"I've been hiding that I'm a demon. It was to protect myself, but also to protect our species.

If they knew I was a demon, they would definitely have killed me or been close to it. That way, you won't be able to find the hero.

Even if they didn't die, the Demons didn't get much help because of the mysteries. If I were known to be a demon, I would have been held captive and used as an experiment to expose my weaknesses.

Either way, it will create a way to destroy the demons.

"I understood that I kept silent that I was a demon to protect myself and the demon tribe... But thinking about it, why did you reveal to me that you were a demon? I wish I'd kept my mouth shut.

"I wanted you to know that the demon race is a race that fights the same enemy... but above all, I couldn't stand the fact that I was hiding something from my master.

"... why do you trust me so much?

"We're traveling together... it's too rough.

Well... first of all, after you bought me, you treated me not as a slave, but as one person. Warm rice and beautiful clothes. It is something that I have already given up. How happy this is for a slave… I am truly blessed. You even gave me a weapon. It's not particularly helpful...

Next, your husband came to the city of the dwarves and fought for the dwarves he had just learned. Even if it's a recommendation from a tribal king, there's no need to go that far. It is the same this time. Whether it was for other races or not, fighting irrelevantly was a hero to me.

"Ha ha ha. A hero... a pathetic hero who just got hurt.

"How pathetic! That's not true!

"Oh, oh..."

"... and Master taught me how to fight. Normally I don't do that to slaves. I think it's just a meat wall.

You learned what they said desperately and practiced... well done when you were able to. I was so happy that you stroked my head... before I even realized it myself, I watched your master's sword swing and how to fight, and I was also practicing it. When I got this dagger, I was so happy that I could really cry.

Even when the master was really angry... the master who saw the way the Knights of the Holy Order behaved was more angry than anyone else. When you stroke my head, your husband touches me very gently with a very gentle face. I have learned that the Holy Knights' way is unacceptable because you are a very kind master.

There are many others. To mention a few details, I don't know how to kill myself.

"That's what you think..."

"... when I came to this city, when the people hated me, the master asked me why I was going, and said that nothing would change if I did nothing. I really think so.

And your husband actually did it, and now he's laughing at each other and eating with the elves.

So... even if we hated the demons, I thought we had to do something, as your master said.

Whatever I do alone, the acorn of this great world will not change. I'm not thinking that much. It's just... I wanted you to tell me everything I believe in and know about me.

It's a very selfish reason..... "

"... I'm so happy.

"... Master..."

"I think it took a lot of courage to tell this story.

You can't help but be happy if you trust me and tell me you talked to me.

I'd be happier if it were selfish.

Thank you for talking to me. Nil. "

"... yes..."

Nil smiles with a soft face. When I stroked your head as usual, I narrowed my eyes and laughed as usual.
