Welcome to the Premium Alliance! ~ Billboard daughter's beloved elf soothes everyone's heart ~

─ ─ ─ ─ Ash had already lost his ego. I endured it for many years, but I finally succumbed to the overwhelming magic. I think you've endured it. I'd be crazy a long time ago. I am honestly impressed by the strength of this mental power.

"Eugene! What are you doing?! As it is....!

Ash, who became a dragon, was already unaware of me and Yenna, and was gradually releasing magic. Even though it has led us to unpopular places, the whole Magic Continent becomes scorched earth by being pushed like this. Me and Yenna alone were already at their limit.

That's why I decided to take the last resort. I didn't want to do that, if I could. But Ash can't hear us anymore.

"Hey, Ash!... let's do it! I'll do it!?

"Ah, well...!

The only way to stop Ash... is to kill him. Stopping Ash from getting hurt is broken bones, but if you don't have to worry about risking your life, there's something you can do.

Well, I don't want to make that choice if I can. But I'm sure Ash knew that day would come. Since the day we revealed our secrets, there have been many times that we have been told and heard.

Hey, Eugene and Yenna. If I were no longer myself, I would become a monster that only threatens people and the Magic Continent without sight. Then kill me without confusion. "

At the end of the story, Ash asked us to do the same every time. We're the only ones who can kill ourselves. The people of the beloved Magic Continent suffer because it is more painful than death.

"Yenna, you can hate me."

I felt like I knew what Ash was feeling. Unfortunately, he's straight, he's always popular, and he's kind to Ash. I have seen nearby that I loved the Magic Continent more than anyone else, loved the people who lived, and mourned my strength. Well, the relationship itself wasn't that long, but it doesn't matter.

So, if you want to suffer any more, I want to fulfill Ash's wishes.

But not Yenna. He's probably attracted to Ash. I have not heard such a story, I have never made a gesture, and I may not be aware of anything.

But there was still something I could see if I was close. I'm still married. Life is much shorter than these, but I pride myself on being a little senpai when it comes to love.

And it's the same with Ash. I'm the only one who knows that they're attracted to each other.

That's why Yenna will hesitate when she decides to do it. Ash is Ash, and you honestly don't want Yenna to do such a cruel thing.

That's why I do it. Take on all the dirty work. I happened to be lost from another world, with no place to go, no place to protect. Wouldn't that be a good idea?

"I won't hate you. I'll help you too."

That's why I told Yenna to hate me... Yes, Yenna was a strong woman. At first, I blurred my face as if I had been shocked, but I quickly switched and said that I would not be held solely responsible.

I appreciate that feeling. I just told him I'd be saved.

Of course, I won't let Yenna do it. I will not give it up. Either way, Yenna's power won't be enough to stop Ash. I didn't even want you to cooperate, but if you don't let Ash go, I can't step in. Though it was difficult, I decided to ask Yenna for backup.

"Let's go!

Yeah!

The relationship itself wasn't so long, but the experience of both fights and the compatibility of each other made it unnecessary to talk about a detailed plan. One word at a time, we just talk about it, and each of us runs in a different direction.

I disappeared and went to where Ash's blind spot was, and Yenna went in the opposite direction. When he wrapped his armor around his body with the natural magic of water, he jumped up in a jet blast.

Hey, water magic is even more like this... Well, that's fine. People use magic in their own way. With a grown-up appearance, the style of combat is truly flashy, Yenna.... I guess I'll see what you look like.

Now it's more about me than that. Once in a while. That's the only way to make sure we kill Ash. I've been thinking about this just in case since Ash asked me to, but in the end I always came to the same conclusion.

Even if I cut off my neck, it's impossible because it's magically stiff on a stiff scale. At best, it will hurt. The poison doesn't work, and any magic attacks do some scratching.

Damn, how can you kill a legendary creature like a dragon to me? Before I came to this world, I was just a worthless grand salesman. In the first place, the strongest being on the Magic Continent is the Demon King and Ash. Killing the mightiest is not enough.

"I think you're the only one who can kill me."

... you're pushing the impossible at all.

I noticed that the corners of my mouth were rising without knowing it. What am I laughing at? Is this fear? No, I can't go back to Japan anymore. I don't have anywhere to go or anybody to see. No, there's someone I'd like to see, but I know I can't. I mean, I don't know if I have any problems in the world.

Indeed, this world is quite interesting. But I decided not to go too far. It's my weakness to never taste the spiciness of farewell like in the ring again.

I wanted to escape. From living.

So, in this unrealistic world, I continued to be indifferent. But somehow, due to my high spec body and the amount of magic, I couldn't die so easily, and it was too pathetic to die from this kind of battle or suicide, and I lived cheating.

If this were to happen, I wouldn't have been obsessed with how to die.

I should have finished my life before I met you. Because of you, now that you're dead, there's just a little bit of work left to do. Maybe I wanted to go to your wedding.

But, Ash. I don't think it's a bad idea to watch you suffer and scatter your life to save it. Maybe that's why I'm here. That would be too much to think about.

Aiming for the moment when a black dragon tried to blow fire at Yenna, I jumped instantly in front of the dragon, Ash. Wow, that's the mouth of great urgency right in front of you. My teeth are sharp, and I don't think they'll make it out alive if they're chewed to pieces. It seems painful.

"Ha, Eugene!?

"I asked for the rest, Yenna!

I heard Yenna's impatient voice, but I couldn't afford to look back and reply.

Sorry, Yenna. That's all I got. I hope you don't suffer because you helped me and Ash die. Well, you can't. I'm really sorry.

But I have to. If you don't kill Ash here now, neither the Magic Land nor Ash will be able to recover it. I jumped into Ash's mouth without hesitation. After all, the best way to attack is from within, right? If it's as sturdy as the viscera, it'll be swallowed and lost, and you'll have to wait for it to be digested. Oh, come on.... I'll definitely kill you.

"Taste it, Ash. Swallow it, if you can. I don't like being bitten."

I don't know if you're getting my word, but for now, I'm going to make hate speech as usual.

It's always good for you, isn't it? Hey, Ash.

I found out that Bakung and Black Dragon Ash's mouth was closed. You must have passed through your throat with the momentum that jumped in, and I'm a little relieved that you didn't get bit.

I've hit my body everywhere, but it looks like I was able to break into Ash's body. Maybe. I don't know for sure. It's dark, and the fall won't stop.

However, if it falls into the ocean of stomach acids, you will not be able to move. It's fine if it's just stomach acid, but it's a demon king, it's a dragon, it's an ash, and I don't know what kind of effect it has.

Too desperate to even hesitate. I used this ability to create anything I knew by magic, and I created something that, when properly combined, would explode.

I don't know what you gave me. Because I wasn't good at chemistry. But, well, it'll hit a few dozen. I think it's unplanned. I wish I had studied harder.

Still, the results are too good. Safely, there was a massive explosion in Ash's body. Of course, I got myself involved ─ ─ ─

Probably because of that, Ash died safely. And me, too.

... oh, don't look weird, Meg. I think he died only once. When we were right in front of you, you knew you'd be okay after all, right? Calm down and listen until the end.

Oh, hey, Meg. Don't be so angry... Take care of yourself? I thought there was nothing I could do at that time. Besides, I don't want you to tell me that line. You can't fight blood, can you?

Shit. Look, you can't say anything, can you? We all tend to sacrifice ourselves by accident. Oh, yeah. Reflect, Meg. Me, too.

Um, how far have we talked? Yes, that's why it's important. Listen to me, okay?

I know this is hard for you to understand, but this actually happened. Both I and Ash remembered the same thing, and it was definitely true.

Yeah, but Meg. Maybe you'll understand. You have a strange dream. I think it's a similar phenomenon.

... now, let's move on.

─ ─ ─ I realized I was in pure white space.

I thought it was a post-mortem world, but I didn't really feel it. Well, I guess I can't help thinking about it. I wish I had died without suffering. I wonder what happened after that, but even if I think about it here, nothing will change.

But what do we do now? As far as I can see, it's pure white, and I don't know which way to go, or whether I should not move from this place. Besides, my body doesn't seem to have changed since I was alive. My clothes are the same as those I wore just now. Make it easier to understand, the world after death.

It doesn't suit sex to be blurry. That's what I thought. I walked straight ahead. Maybe we'll make it to the afterlife anyway.

What I thought about walking was what happened after that.

If Ash jumped into his mouth on her own, blew it up with an explosion, and we were both dead, Yenna would have been angry. Or did you cry? They say it's too selfish.

Ha, I'm worried. Aftertreatment would be tough, and I can't complain if Yenna kills me. He's already dead.

... what about the rings left in Japan? If you're lucky, you can go back to Japan like this. When I came to this world, I was dying, and it's not impossible. But I don't think the world can do that well, and there's nothing to hope for.

Hmm?

When I thought about it with a glitter, I saw a black dot in the distance. Yes, the black dot. There is no other analogy. I can't even grasp the wonder of how far away I am.

However, the black dot was very noticeable in the pure white space. Well, that's what bothers you. I feel more comfortable going to my destination than walking without guessing.

But the black dot is... Maybe it's a black hole or an entrance to hell. But, well, I'm a bad father who suddenly leaves his daughter alone and travels to another world. I think this is the biggest sin of my life. I thought it would be okay to accept the punishment.

Embrace everything. The mind is unnaturally distressed. I just kept walking toward the black dot.
