Yomigaeri no Maou

When the light and the explosion subsided, there was not a single audience who did not express amazement when they saw the sight spreading there.

The audience had closed their eyes almost reflexively at that moment.

But it's just that shock.

He slowly opened his eyes, finding it odd that the effects of the ruinous sorcery of Lulu and Iris had not been conveyed to the audience beyond hearing the sound of the destruction of the absolute barriers of the ancient tribe (the elves).

Then I saw several magicians standing at the front of the audience surrounding the stage in a circular fashion, stretching their boundaries.

A powerful junction, but also not as much as the absolute barrier of the ancient tribe (elves).

That can't stand that shock, but I can see why one magician hasn't done any damage to the audience with words he said like a solitaire.

"... man. If the ancient tribal (elf) junction hadn't absorbed most of the shock, nothing would have happened...... I'm so glad. Wow."

It was Uvezd, the sorcerer among the sorcerers who said it without saying it, and the audience who nodded so much that it was the word relieved their hearts.

That said, it was only about the audience that there was no damage.

The convergence cannons of Lulu and Iris had been unleashed towards heaven and earth, and the junction part covering the side audience had only been destroyed in the aftermath.

When that happens, the stage actually hit directly by Lulu's convergence cannon becomes problematic, but there was no such thing as a stage that could be called an indication, or no way, where light and smoke subsided.

Barely, I can see the fragments rolling because I thought they would have constituted it, but the majority of them must have been wiped out by that blow.

And the center of the arena can have a big circular hole so that it can be swept deep.

Lulu's blow made the ground dig that far.

The audience, who understood that that was what I meant, first learned to be stunned and wary, and then considered the cheapness of the girl who took that direct hit directly from the front.

Is there anyone who can survive such an attack and fulfill it?

It goes without saying that all the audiences thought so.

But Lulu, slowly floating down from the broken junction, naturally believed in the survival of Illis.

Instead, it can't release a dying attack or anything.

Lulu lands where the stage was and stands on the edge of a big hole he drilled himself to peek at the bottom.

Then, at the end of his gaze, there was Iris, who kept the prototype firmly in place.

What you're wearing has been pretty blurry with the impact of a convergence cannon, but because it was infiltrating a vast amount of magic, including that, it has a blurry yet prototype as clothing.

Lulu, who understood that he was definitely not alive, jumped straight into the deepest part of the hole, and when he reached Iris, he magically repaired Iris' clothes before carrying them on his shoulders and going up to the ground.

"...... ru, lulu!? The Iris player......!?

As it stands, we haven't won or lost a game yet.

But from the circumstances, it is obvious.

The operation visited with a loudspeaker about the survival of Illis, said Lulu, who decided it would not be about winning or losing.

"Of course he's alive... but he seems to have passed out."

'So... by referring to Lulu's victory, are you sure?

"Well...... because you won't be able to fight any more if Iris just passed out too. Wouldn't that happen?

It is about the moment I said so.

From the loudspeaker, a huge voice screamed to make it sound all over the arena.

'... did you guys hear that? Until this day came, things were different. The technical offering of the ancient tribe (elves) has now made it possible for even the prowess of the superior class to enter the competition. Everyone has anticipated, dreamed and enjoyed who will be at its apex in the battle to determine the strongest of the true kingdom than before its holding...... but who the hell would have anticipated such an end. With the already well-known premium adventurers, and the knights torn one after the other, it means that the two primary adventurers, who are anonymous, and these two are brothers and sisters, have won the last game… both continue to show the power they deserve in that position in qualifying, in the main battle, and the real strong ones who have won. I wonder if times change like this, and every time they win, they get goosebumps.'

The audience all understood what that voice would say at the end.

But still, the audience heard the voice.

The battle that lasted more than the past week, every single one of them remembered and the emotions that came up twisted were making me do so.

The voice continues.

'But still, no one expected them to climb this far. Crushed by any one powerful man, he will compete in next year's tournament again… Though he thought so, he did not even think that he would be praising them in this place today. Yet... they lived up to our expectations, unfortunately demonstrated their strength, fought a shameless battle in the name of the finals, and showed us one result before us...'

I still could do it as Lulu if he unfortunately demonstrated his strength and said so, but I want to argue that I would be interested in doing that here, Lulu continues to stand near the center of the stage listening to that voice, on the edge of the hole he himself drilled.

He stared emotionally at the magic lights (lights) illuminating the area, and the stars shining in the night sky.

I feel like I've got something on my chest.

Then I felt the girl's eyes slowly open that I was putting on my shoulder.

"... my brother-in-law."

"Have you noticed, Illis"

Still fighting?

Lulu stares at Iris with the gaze that

But Iris smiled,

"... no, it's my loss. Besides... it's hard to say that we will still be fighting in this speech..."

The MC's voice echoing from the loudspeaker is still going on.

Surely it would be subtle to say that I can still fight in this caged voice of fever.

Besides, it seems that Illis has sincerely admitted defeat.

That, from the light of its eyes, Lulu can understand.

If he was convinced, Lulu smiled and heard the MC's voice along with Illis, who would not mind anything else.

'This martial arts tournament… and this game will undoubtedly be told for years, decades and centuries to come. Everything you see in the tournament now, it should be a treasure better than any legend! Nor will I ever forget… because those who competed in this tournament taught us what people can do and what lies ahead of their possibilities, to the best of their ability. And the match between the two of us at the top of it... because it made us dream. Come on, gentlemen. Let's honor it. For those who have given us hope in our dreams. And to rightly praise those who stood at the apex of warriors in this country!

And the MC took a deep breath and shouted his last words in one breath.

"In front of us, Lulu and Iris played an incredible heat battle. It was Lulu who controlled that battle! Hence...... Kingdom of Leonard, the winner of the 700th King's Capital Martial Arts Games is Lulu-Cadisnora!! Give him a big round of applause, folks!!

At the same time as such MC's words, a grunting cheer and applause were sent to Lulu.

I guess this is exactly what all the cracks are about, and at the same time I feel kind of strange that so many people are looking at me and blessing me.

Even if you don't think about it again, they are all people (human beings).

In contrast, standing on the edge of a deep hole in the heart of the arena, it is the former Demon King and the ancient Demon girl who are being hailed for it.

A situation that would never have been possible if it had been an old time.

No matter how hidden, if he were an old man (a human), Lulu would have found out that Iris was a demon anyway and had him wiped out with sacred witchcraft or knocking him into jail immediately.

But that doesn't happen in modern times.

Times, I understood again, had changed.

And Lulu slowly raises his hand and responds to the cheer.

Then the cheer grew, and the audience shouted and praised Lulu's name many times.

Some of them honored the good fight of Iris, and the cheer still increased when Iris, who regained consciousness, showed that he seemed a little annoyed, but with his hands firmly up and alive.

Cheers that are likely to continue in extension.

But you can't even say that.

Besides, the award ceremony will not take place today, but tomorrow.

There also seems to be a relationship depending on the prize and ceremony, which means that it is difficult in time, and an economic desire to have the King's Capital tavern drop the money at night as it is today's excitement.

In fact, the MC's voice stops applauding and cheering that will last forever.

'... Then the award ceremony will be tomorrow! The winning Lulu player will be given the right to ask His Majesty the King one favor, so I look forward to seeing what he wants! Now, ladies and gentlemen, watch your step when you get home! Please do not drink too much or have trouble! Bye!'

It's a light word, but I guess it's a decision that comes from the experience of saying that you can't cheer forever unless that's about it.

Lulu and Illis are also being led into operation and pulled out of the arena by the time the word ends.

Seems like you can't do anything when the lead continues to stand.

Plus, it means that you're probably both in danger of getting screwed when you leave the arena all of a sudden like this, so after taking your time in the arena for a while and making sure the audience left the arena first, I was advised to get out the back door.

In fact, it was just the right story because I felt like I needed to go to the infirmary because I had Iris' treatment even without that offer.

Then Lulu and Iris went to the infirmary and waited for the audience to diminish for a while.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... Iris, is there anything that hurts?

As Illis sits on the infirmary bed, Lulu asks so sitting on the provided simple chair.

If it was meant to be, it would be the muscle to ask a healer stationed in the infirmary to treat him, but Illis is an ancient demon tribe.

Since the body is made slightly different from the human race (human), it is desirable for Lulu to see it in such cases as this one, which bears the deep hand, so I will ask him to refrain.

At that time, I couldn't say that Iris was an ancient demon, so I pushed off my sister's body with the rationale that my brother seemed to know best, etc., but the resident healer in the infirmary pulled me off unexpectedly.

This seems to be because Lulu's battle, to see the depth of his manipulation of witchcraft, decided that he would be saying this with considerable knowledge of healing techniques as well.

In fact, even as a healer, Lulu is better than that of modern times, so the feeling was true and there was no problem.

Iris nods to Lulu's words but says with a slightly painful look.

"... the body itself is fine... but it's still slow to recover its magic. Too much use, looks like…"

Lulu looks frightened at the words.

"Well, that would happen if you were so unscrupulous... especially since the last convergence cannon really did terrible magic to its limits, huh? Too much..."

Fine, Lulu takes Iris' hand and pours his magic directly there.

Normally I can't do this, but the ancient demon technique made it possible.

Lulu's immense magic is enough to easily compensate for, for example, the magic depletion of one ancient demonic girl, and in just a few minutes Illis' body magic recovers to its full state.

Lulu, who confirmed it, slowly let go of Iris' hand.

Iris looked at it remorsefully for some reason and was frustrated as he looked at his gripped hand for a while.

Lulu continues.

"From now on, don't be so impotent... because in this world, in this day and age, there is no one but you, Iris, who can be entrusted next to me"

Illis, who was frustrated, but stared at Lulu as if he had been annoyed by the word, and said:

"... what is that...?

It was a question that I asked, to ask my sincerity.

to the words. Lulu laughed and nodded,

"I mean I acknowledge the strength and thoughts of Illis..."

Iris felt, for a moment, a strong joy in the word.

I'm glad they recognized my strength, but I also admit my thoughts.

That is......

And that's why I've been thinking about it. Illis shakes his head and shakes off his delusions.

Then I heard it again, trying to make the meaning of the word clear.

"When you say thoughts...?

Lulu answered the words with a decent face.

…… You must have been admiring the side of the Demon King. I didn't know you were so obsessed with being so impotent... "

Well, it must be something like this, I thought.

So I'm not so shocked.

But Iris kind of sighed.

Lulu tilts his neck at how Iris looks like that.

Lulu had no idea what to say that was a very unfortunate answer for Illis.
