Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 79: Snake

Gran's dialogue stops me thinking for a moment.

but still hasn't loosened my guard against Gran.

Gran, who understands that, is shaking his head unfortunately, but not so bad.

I guess it wasn't even enough to say it was a measure to keep me alert.

I ask questions to ask why I'm in such a situation anyway.

Of course, while we talk about that, we restrain it, and we keep our swords together more than once, but the more speed we have, the less speed we have.

We decided to explore each other's gaps as we talked.

Lulu asks.

"" Demon King Lulu "... what the hell, that. It was meant to be. Then you don't, do you?

I mean, isn't it possible that he was once the demon king Lulslia-Nord, so Gran shook his head vertically, understanding exactly what that meant?

"You bet. It's not, it's just an alias. Why do they say Demon King... you want to know?

I was told it was nimble and Lulu thought about it a little bit.

It is a subtle feeling that you want to know, that you don't want to know.

Maybe such an inside came to my face.

I laughed and continued as Gran blew out.

"I don't really seem to want to hear it, but let me tell you... Even so, it doesn't mean there's only one reason. It's the result of all the piling up."

And it was somehow possible to see that this was due to something that was somewhat noticeable in this competition.

Having said that, Lulu waited for Gran's words to know a little bit about which was the decisive cause.

"First things first...... you, you put down Anku in the qualifying round?

I feel like a name I miss a lot now, but it's the one I fought against just a few days ago.

Ankwu, an advanced adventurer manipulating sickles and advanced sorcery.

You can say that Lulu was the most powerful enemy to have fought in the beginning.

Besides, he's the one who's been exposed to those black clothes boys and doesn't even know if it's possible anymore.

While I blurry to think about what I'm doing now, well, whatever it is in my eyes, I stop worrying about whether it's good because there's some part of me that I deserve when it comes to him.

What the hell happened to defeating Anku like that?

"I did knock him down, but what happened to that?

"Oh... there's been a lot of talk about how your way against Anku was amazing. You cut off your hands and feet and left them, didn't you?

"Oh... right"

If you ask me, it seemed like a pretty bad way to do it, but as a lululu, I meant to cut it off nicely.

In other words, the Games Secretariat kept the joints to be able to quickly heal magic, and cut off all his hands and feet only because he wanted to at least make him understand the feelings of the tournament contestants who did the same.

So I just want to argue that it was a terrible way to do it, even if they said it was a lulu...

You read that feeling of Lulu. Gran nods and says.

"Well, if that's all it was. Before that, you, Anku, have told me a lot, haven't you? I've been waiting for people like you to leave me..."

I do think they said it.

But is that spread word for word?

I'm surprised the audience network is awesome.

"No, because you seem too impressed. I mean, the impression that someone like Ankwu was waiting for him, and brutally cut off his hands and feet to accompany that expectation, was in the corner of the audience watching you fight. That's the first reason."

"The first one... do you still have it"

"That's right. If that's all, well, there were some amazing newcomers, and that's it. After that, you would have spilled Shui or Uvezd, wouldn't you? Because it's pretty special to say it's premium. There's something like being considered a hero. It is the lowest condition that it has extreme strength because it cannot be achieved without a great deal of merit in the exorcism of demons. But you've just beaten them."

"... you're treating me like a demon king because I spilled a righteous ally?

"Well, you are. That's the second. And the last one..."

"You still have it!?

"Oh... but you're not talking about yourself. It's Iris and Kyou. Those guys..."

Iris and Kyou?

Hearing the name, Lulu tilts his neck.

Because I don't think there was anything wrong with them.

At least, I wonder if Lulu could be the cause of what they call the Demon King.

But subvert Gran's words to such Lulu's imagination.

"You know they know a lot about their prowess because they're winning cancer at martial arts competitions, right? And those guys are taking down Agnos and Himeros, just like you, Lulu. Agnos is advanced, not superior, but a nun (Manaka) deputy chief. That trust is superior."

"But then it's not me, isn't it? Isn't Iris and Kyou themselves going to have some kind of notoriety?

Just because you two beat a famous adventurer won't be talking about Lulu being the demon king.

Gran shook his head though.

"I'm sure you're right, Lulu, but you live with Iris and Kyou, right? I suppose it's because I haven't hidden it at all, but mostly people in the King's Capital already know that. I mean, Iris and Kyou look like your men. And the three of us are cancering these famous adventurers in the King's Capital... the boss seems to be lululu... and it's getting exaggerated. Eventually, a newspaper relationship stirred up, and your alias decided to be the Demon King."

"A subordinate..."

I don't know what to say to be taken aback. When Lulu groans so, Gran even puts a supplement in that dialogue and shreds Lulu's spirit with disappointment.

"Oh, bad. I'm not dealing with people now. To talk about Illis and Kyou being your mistresses..."

"What are you talking about!?

"That's how it is. Both Iris and Kyou look flashy, because they're beautiful girls. If you walk around the city, you'll be stuck with the younger ones."

If we're going to talk about appearances, I'm pretty sure they both look unpleasant.

The contents... I can't say anything.

"So?"

"Oh, but. The two voices are crushing the house."

"I can kind of read it..."

"Oh well. Well, I guess it's pretty much what I expected. It seems that Iris used to say this when he turned down those guys." Because I have a brother-in-law ". Kyou said, 'I hope it's as worthwhile as Mr. Lulu. Of those with three-meal naps...' or something like that. Those who hear it, with their jealousy, Lulu is the devil who holds the two most desirable girls in his hands. It's the demon king, he's the demon king! And they heated it up. With newspaper relations, it keeps spreading. Now the alias" Lulu the Demon "shows a tremendous spread. Instead of saying that Illis and Kyou are being treated as mistresses, the poor two who are being deceived by Lulu..."

Is that a fact?

and Gran tilted his neck with a face he knew was not true.

Lulu is starting to feel like screaming, but it's visible that if he does that, he'll make a big gap and get cut in.

Besides, I was relieved that I didn't have a negative impression of the two people living together, which was offset by the surprise I received from being called the Demon King, etc.

Lulu tells Gran.

"... at all. I never saw you say that again. But now. If you're called the Demon King, why don't we fight it the way it deserves?

The moment I say that, Gran realizes that Lulu's expression and atmosphere have changed.

Apparently, for the first time then, I understood that what I said had become quite a snake.

Gran, who met Lulu seven years ago and has been shown his strength everywhere.

I was convinced that in the past that was the strength gained because I was the Demon King, but the power of Lulu was so isolated that I still wondered if so many beings were in this world.

But still, I've never thought that if I saw Lulu fight before, I wouldn't be able to catch up with him, I'd never get there, etc.

With hard work and training, Gran has always thought he could still be stronger, more

That's actually correct, and there's some certainty that the strength you're gaining is up a few steps compared to what you were seven years ago.

And still, I don't see any limits.

People (human beings) are sometimes said to have great constraints about their life expectancy and abilities because of their race, and for that reason they are less likely to have them than other species.

However, because of the large number, that's all the advantages people (human beings) are prospering.

But Gran understood with his own flesh that the general theory was not actually correct.

The possibilities, even human beings (human beings), have not been taken.

The last seven years have taught me that if I work out, I will only work out, and if I aim, I will return to myself as a result.

So when I could catch up with Lulu either way, I didn't stop believing that.

But it is.

How's the power of living in the boy in front of you now?

I had felt a strong magic pulse earlier.

I had enough power to wonder if it was a joke, such as people (human) being able to exert such power.

But from Lulu today, the power swirls enough to repaint even such an impression.

I mean, what I can clearly tell when I get here is that I've been relieving myself.

It is to say that neither the battle against Shui nor the battle against Uvezd was all-powerful.

If you think about why Lulu was fighting while holding back his power, that can be deduced from the earlier dialogue.

I guess he thought that if he wielded too much power, he would do something strangely feared from around him.

Once, I heard about the demon king Lulslia-Nord.

At that time he was taught how the people (human beings) challenged him with great misunderstandings about the demon kings and about the ancient demons.

I guess the memories of that time have forced him to subtract consciously and unconsciously.

But if you are already known as the Demon King and understood to be something like that, could you raise the gear a little bit more?

His original way of fighting seems to be a saturated attack with massive witchcraft and physical enhancement to the limit, but this venue is neither large nor durable enough to do it.

So I knew I was only challenging him with physical enhancement, but with one of those gears, he just put it up.

"Absolutely, it's not even a joke. All I can really say is His Majesty the Demon King.

Isn't it... "

Feeling close to losing, Gran said that in cold sweat.

Lulu says with such an invincible grin on Gran.

"It's an honor, Gran. I've fought this far because I've only been one brave man."

"... I'm only surprised you beat one like this. What is that stupid magic?"

"Say stupid. I lost because I was four to one then. I couldn't beat you one-on-one... I mean, you're not gonna beat me either. It's just, if you beat me, I'll allow you to name a brave man, okay?

Lulu laughs at the joking dialogue.

But that dialogue is not a joke.

Only a brave man can beat this.

At least, historically, it has been.

Can you break that to yourself?

I can't even think about it in my head if I ask myself, not very much.

I've never felt an overwhelming sense of defeat before.

I'm sure there won't be any.

But that's why.

"I'm going to beat you... it's not a time for brave people, but even I've appreciated the little ones. If you have a chance, it would be a man trying!!

That said, Gran also puts more magic into strengthening his body.

It turns out that the technique is Himelos' ultra-limit breakthrough (Schlom finitus breakyatro) itself, and furthermore uses far more magic than she does.

And still, Gran bravely kicked the ground, even though he understood it didn't extend to the amount of magic blowing out of Lulu's body.

There are times when a man can never pull off.

Believe me, I didn't doubt that now was the time.
