Yomigaeri no Maou

I just told Zoe a lot, and now I want to ask her about Zoe, why she was sleeping in this place, and what happened after Lulu died as the Demon King.

Before that, Zoe must have wondered, too.

I have asked Lulu in a tone that is not too long, but I have tried my best to take my respects off.

"Um... Lulu, yeah, ha... why are you alive? His Majesty... I did hear then that the brave men had taken me away..."

Lulu recalls and replies that he did not explain that point.

"I don't even know what's strict. It's just... I did die then, but when I realized I was raw as a human (human). Keep your memories of when you were the Demon King. I was convinced this was a circle. So that's probably what I'm thinking..."

There are unlimited and varied explanations, but Lulu's understanding says so when he explains them in hindsight.

To this explanation, Zoe had his eyes open, but the very idea of a circle, an idea extremely familiar to the ancient demons, a faith.

So Zoe nodded and said.

"I didn't know that was really happening...... the junior soldiers we were on the front line had the strongest faith about the circle, but I thought it (...) was something I could never be aware of, even if it happened. Sooner or later, we swore to each other to reunite in the next life, but I'm sure we didn't remember, and I thought a little bit about not being able to recognize the reunion. But... Your Majesty... it was all remembered and resurrected..."

The tone was very pale and only the willingness to just swallow the facts seemed to be felt.

But somehow the voice felt like telling herself, and as she spoke, Zoe's eyes began to see something like the light of fanaticism she had just seen.

Zoe keeps bumping.

"That battle... was not in vain. If His Majesty lives like this! Really... really, really good..."

Gradually, a grain of tears begins to form at the edge of its eyes.

Lulu found that Zoe was truly delighted with her survival.

But still, I feel very sorry for you.

Anyway, Lulu couldn't protect anything after all.

All I could do was suppress people (human beings) for a little while at best, nothing else...

So, Lulu said.

"Zoe...... it's late, but that's all I have to say.... I'm really, really sorry"

So, head down, Lulu.

Zoe looks at it and backwards, and opens her eyes as much as there is no more, and starts to panic and grate.

"Your Majesty! Hey, what are you doing to something like me...! Nowhere is there any reason why His Majesty would do that!

"No... I, in the end, couldn't protect. The country and the people. I couldn't do anything... so I have to apologize. To you, too. Take it... my utmost apology."

"No... that's not true... Your Majesty, we were able to fight because His Majesty was here. Had it not been for you, the Demons would have perished much sooner and turned into human (human) slaves. There really is nowhere for His Majesty to be apologized for…"

Zoe said it like that, almost crying, hands on her shoulders trying to raise Lulu's head lowered low.

If it's true, I'd love to keep my head down like this for hours all the time, but Zoe doesn't seem happy to do that.

Lulu has no choice but to raise his head and say.

"... when you say that, it lightens my heart. I apologized to Illis, but I knew you'd forgive me. I was blessed to have a good minister."

Now, it's reciprocity, not subordination, etc.

That's what I meant to say in my past form, Zoe and Iris shake their heads to deny it.

"No, Your Majesty. As I said earlier, I am always ready to give this life to Your Majesty. I will dedicate my loyalty as I have always been, and still am. Please don't tell me it's not under your command..."

"My brother-in-law. I feel the same way about Zoë. She is also my sister-in-law, but at the same time, I was admitted by my brother-in-law as a close friend. Naturally, I still intend to be your subordinate."

That's what I say and kneel.

I'm saying it's nothing good, but you're stubborn people, and on the other hand, I was glad you said that even though there's nothing left for Lulu anymore.

Lulu had no choice but to nod,

"Ok...... ok. But Zoe. Fix the tone. It's back to normal. And Iris... that's the tone of it originally, okay? But I don't know what Bacchus would say from behind the grass leaves..."

Two, I'll try to remember and imagine what my former best friend was.

I'll think about how my own daughter feels near Lulu and being my sister-in-law again......

"No, because my father was a mess. Well done, it's funny, I think they'll say that."

said Iris.

In fact, you were right in character, so you can't deny it.

Zoe was nodding at it, too.

"Although I have met Master Bacchus several times... I remember him being a very pleasant person. He cared nothing for junior soldiers like me, as much as he ate with those who said so on the front lines. But I can't believe that they treated me like a saint, and when the churches of the people of those days saw it, they would laugh with their noses."

And I said.

After all, he just woke up and worked in the modern age for about a decade, and he's familiar with that.

Expectations grow that you know all this.

The same goes for Illis, who asked me a lot. I did,

"Hey, is it time? I'm getting lonely out there, too. If I could, I'd like an explanation too..."

And Solange said, so the three of us annoyed.

Zoë is

"I'm sorry, I left you alone a lot longer... well, shall we stop talking and leave the ruins for once? The house... yet?

Zoë's "house" means the house of Solange and Zoë, now the house of Solange.

Solange nodded,

"Yes, I do... Mother. Although it has changed its appearance a lot since it has been repaired and remodeled many times..."

With that said, I leaned my neck slightly, so Lulu asked Solange.

"What, was there something weird about it too?

To Lulu's question, Solange laughed and then answered.

"No... it's not a big deal"

"I don't?

"Such an old woman speaks respectfully to her mother and says," Mother, "and suddenly she thinks it doesn't look a little unnatural."

"Ah......"

If you ask me, it may indeed be.

But when people of different lifespans enter into in-laws and kinship with each other, that's what happens all the time.

Ancient (elf) and human (human), for example, would be typical of that.

With that said, Solange said,

"Well, if you're an ancient (elf) and a human (human), I guess so. Besides, I guess it's not strange that even ancient demons like my mother and people like me (human beings) objectively do that... at least because modern humans don't think so. Outside... I thought you should stop saying these words."

In modern times, the appearance characteristics of the ancient demons have not been conveyed.

Solange knew that because he hadn't heard but probably Zoe had spoken.

In other words, in modern times, Solange and Zoe should look like human beings (human beings) to each other.

Yet you want to say it's odd that you call younger mothers.

Surely that is true.

"Nothing. I don't mind? Even if you call me" Mother, "as you used to do in public."

Zoe doesn't seem very committed to the area, but either the work of the year or Solange shook his head and explained.

"No, you should stop. Mother. Now - things are changing more than they were when Mother was awake. If you do something that gets noticed badly, something is going to stop by..."

Hearing that, Zoe asked in wonder.

"Really?

Solange says.

"Yep. So is the international situation, because we are now coming just before the eruption in quite a few areas on religious and cultural issues...... Think about it, back then, when I spent time with your mother, it was a surprisingly peaceful time. Still, there were people like me involved in civil unrest, but it was a trivial event compared to now. There seems to have been a lot of noise in this country during this time."

That was probably saying all sorts of things that happened at that fighting competition.

It's information that shouldn't have been passed down to the village yet, but I guess Solange has its own information network.

I didn't hear it clearly, but Solange said Zoe told me to be an adventurer, so I must have some experience working as an adventurer.

No, maybe I still have a place in the Adventurers Union (Guild).

Beyond that, it would not be a mistake to assume that he is a far senior of the Lulu's and goes far above and beyond in gathering information.

Zoë is

"I thought I slept well and was refreshed, but the world doesn't seem nice to me..."

And he sighed away.

When Iris,

"You've slept a grand twice. For sleeping, working is a healthy life."

and said the most general theory.

That way of saying it went into Zoe's bump, she puffs, and blows out,

"Shit, Iris is a pretty funny daughter, huh? I said Bacchus' son, so I thought you were a boxed lady... Oh, since His Majesty was gone, it's been rough and crushing a bunch of people's (human) troops around..."

Apparently he remembered what Iris once said about the "rough times," too. When Zoe said so, Iris hastily blocked Zoe's mouth,

"Well, please don't tell me that. That's... that's my black history..."

That's what made my cheeks red.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

As a result, we talked and told other stories at Solange's house, but when we were on the stage of getting out of the ancient demonic establishment, I finally realized whether Zoe had come with a cold head or still flew around the area and was obsessed with eating.

"... Is that Little Dragon (Liga Dragon)?

With that said, Zoe, approaching Rigadora, began to hug and stroke Rigadora shortly after explaining.

In addition,

"You're adorable...... this girl! Be my dragon rider? Be?"

And I started listening as I was high and high.

Lulu and Iris thought it was impossible to know who Rigadora was, but Rigadora Hondragon,

"Kiyu! Kiyu!"

And I look pretty ridden because I'm long live.

Lulu thought I'd go in and ask if I could put one person on it that size and shape, but I stopped because it seemed like fun.

Then Zoe begins to observe Rigadora closely.

"Heh... you're a crystal making horn... beautiful. And the eyes are beautiful amber...... Rarely are these dragons..."

But as he twirled and turned Rigadora to get used to it and observed various parts, he had something to pinch as a dragon knight.

Suddenly, his eyes peeled slightly as if he had noticed, then he moved his neck only towards Lulu,

"... this child... is not a dragon..."

And I said something sharp.

As Lulu smiles bitterly for not saying anything, she goes on.

"Once upon a time... within the fellow Dragon Knights, there were rumors that were told... One of the small dragon herds, an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) toddler, is hidden. It has brilliant horns of crystals and amber eyes that dwell in eternity, with silky scales of touch and clear magic in it..."

"You've never heard such a story before."

When Lulu asked in surprise, Zoe laughed and said.

"It was just a rumor, a superstition... But this kid is exactly like that rumor...... oh, really?

Zoe asks Lulu.

So Lulu told Zoe.

"Why don't you ask the person and he'll answer?

Said, Zoe turns to Rigadora and says.

"... you, in fact, an ancient dragon (enchanted dragon)?

Then Rigadora nodded,

"Ki-yu!

And it rang.

I snort so lightly that I feel like this guy really knows, but Lulu and Illis both know the truth.

Zoe then roared for a while thinking about whether Rigadora's reaction was telling the truth, but because Rigadora peeks worryingly at Zoe like that, to her cuteness,

"... well, I don't care. She's cute."

And it was the last time I was convinced.
