Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 221: Return and Awakening

"Oh well back to you both!

While transporting the gray-haired girl, it was a large group of soldiers and Moits-Divik, a whale-based seaman (Levitayan Aquarius) who commanded it, who welcomed Iris and Zoe back to the finals.

Even as large numbers of knights and adventurers hissed, his white giant stood out all the more, and his presence could be confirmed even from afar, so the two approached him straight away.

"Yeah, I'm back. This one... looks like you managed to be okay. Well, just a little... or it seems pretty bad."

Zoe told Moitz that as she looked around.

Until then, it was the Final North Gate, which was supposed to have a serene landscape with one equally well-maintained path through the cared for meadows, but now it leaves no shadow at all of those days.

The ground there was decided, and it melted again as if it had melted into something.

Plus demons and human remains are rolling all over there.

I know you probably won, but I can also understand that it was never a minor damage nevertheless.

That was why it was Zoe's dialogue.

Moitz, too,

"... As you said, the damage was quite significant. But given the size and strength of the enemy, it is also definitely a miracle that it was rather done to this extent. It's all thanks to Lord Lulu and your dedication... Rather to please this victory, I, and the knights and adventurers gathered here, think. It's surprisingly bright, guys."

and while acknowledging the damage, its expression was never dark.

In fact, the look on the face of the knights and adventurers on the spot doesn't feel like they're sinking into the dark either.

Rather, it seemed that the joy of being able to win was more winning.

Of course, I have feelings of mourning for the dead, and I pray in front of them while collecting artifacts from rolling corpses, etc., but I guess I feel positive that their deaths were not in vain.

Victory is what it is.

"I hope so. So... where's Lulu? You don't feel much magic, do you? No way......"

Even though Zoe thought it was unlikely that he was dead, she was just a little anxious about the lack of these signs.

Iris should have even greater anxiety than he does, and if Zoe doesn't listen, I can even feel signs that he's going to grab Moitz's chest and hear it out.

As for Zoë, I was optimistic that it would be okay to gradually increase the horrible and dark signs of Illis on the road because I thought I would see Lulu as soon as I got here, but no matter how I look at it, there doesn't seem to be any Lulu here.

If we didn't make it clear what was going on here, we felt that the finals could collapse by another threat, and Zoe was dressed as a calm breeze, but the fruit, ten of them in the neck muscles, was asking in the same mood as being stabbed with a sword.

Moitz can't seem to feel such a tense sign of Zoe and Illis.

I replied, smiling, looking extremely normal.

Zoe often thought it was something she could smile at in this situation, but make it Zoe or Illis, so that she doesn't put her signs on the table too much by the power of her will.

Zoe can only be perceived because she is an ancient demon, whose sensing abilities lie in isolation from ordinary people.

"I was just here earlier, too, so I don't know the details, but the report says that if Lord Lulu, he was returned to the city earlier with Lord Orotos and Lord Claude. Someone wounded that girl in captivity, and she said she was badly wounded, like Lord Lulu was going to cure her."

"Your brother-in-law is cured...? Wasn't there a healer?"

That's what Iris, who kept his mouth shut the whole time, asked.

Zoe could have guessed that there was some dark sound to the word that it would be awkward to be healed by Lulu or something like that.

But she had the patience not to just go in there.

to the words of Illis. Moitz said,

"No, of course it's a treatment center. There are many healing magicians, but they say that the healing technique was not very effective, and Lord Lulu, who heard about it, said he would heal magic himself."

"My brother-in-law (who is here) is on his own... Normal healing magic didn't work, I see. I understand."

They convinced me of Moitz's words, and the aura, which resembles the anger of England, draws more and more.

"After all the massive witchcraft you used in the first place, you would fall no matter how many lulls you say if you even did that... the faintness of this magic response seems like there's a reason around it"

When Zoe says so, so does Iris,

"My brother-in-law (who is here) will occasionally be impotent like that...... I've always told you not to......!

I said and swelled my cheeks.

The usual serenity was felt in the condition, and Zoe relieved herself that the second crisis of Final Destruction had passed.

Then, Moitz was told by the two of them from Barbara - don't be alarmed. I appreciate you keeping soldiers on the North Gate side for a while - and then he grinned bitterly that he couldn't leave the scene.

He is also a considerable superior in the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

Seems like it would be nice to leave someone else in charge and go back to the city, but Moitz laughed,

"That's true from the sequence...... because the finals are still in an emergency right now. The same goes for Lord Orotos and Lord Claude, but everyone else who seems to be entrusted with the responsibility for this occasion is busy with their own work and can't get around to this point. By contrast, I - only the title is expensive, but I'm supposed to be here on vacation, so I don't have a particular job to do, and I'm putting you in charge instead of a job that other people can't really get around to. We think we can help each other at times like this."

I said.

The point is, he wants to say he's the most free man in the finals right now.

I guess it's the greatest position, but what a story it was to get lost in reply.

"... By the way, I've been wondering about that girl for a while now?

What Moitz asked is the gray-haired girl that Illis carries on her shoulders.

Although it feels odd that the little girl is carrying each person on her shoulder like that in a way that doesn't feel any weight, it's not the kind of Moitz that cares about there.

It just seemed to me that I was simply curious about who the girl was and why Iris was carrying her.

The iris,

"He's one of the enemies I caught in the woods. Probably something that was leaping in various places...... more to come. I have brought it to the Adventurers' Union (Guild) for questioning, etc. Can I take care of it?

Then Moitz,

"Hmm... a girl like this. I understand. Someone."

With that said, a few adventurers show up from behind Moitz and receive the girl.

"We have a lot of restraints by magic, so I don't think we can get out that way. but it also seems to have powers that I'm not sure about... I'd rather not be alarmed"

Moitz nodded deeply at Iris' words with

Then Moitz picked one of the knights around him and told him to show him to the treatment center where Lulu headed, and Zoe and Iris headed to the treatment center about it.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

My body is heavy.

Bad magic.

The sensation is dull.

With that in mind, Lulu slowly opened his eyes and rose.

"Oh man... is this the one who lacks magic? That's fresh."

When I look around with a blur like that, I see bright white walls and conditioning.

Moderately other color flavors have also been incorporated to avoid eye pain, but the basic colors were almost white.

So, I remember where this place was.

"... you did, a treatment center... It sounds silly that I'm being looked after... but I don't know what's going on..."

I can focus on my body trying to get up while I bump and snap.

"... ugh!

But the pain struck my body.

It is a twitchy dull pain.

Again, he's not feeling very well.

Even getting up. Now it seems tough to fight.

This is the first time I have been in a terrible situation since I was reborn.

No, I've never been this far before when I was the Demon King.

I guess that means Lulu's body was tough and his magic was endless again.

But it doesn't seem too forceful or advantageous in the body of a human race (human).

I was impotent trying to figure it out with the feeling I had when I was the Demon King, but I think I need to think a little more about it from now on.

Nevertheless, nothing can be done at all, not least.

You'll be able to do enough to protect yourself, and certainly not so much to say that you're not feeling well but have to sleep for months.

I can see that, because slowly, but I feel full of magic.

Forced to take it in from the surroundings is also an ancient demon tribe, so I can't do it, but I'm afraid after what happens when I pour too much magic into this body.

When it would be best to leave the recovery to nature, I gave up on getting up and decided to sleep.

I guess it's just a little defenseless, too.

At least, I never paid attention to my safety so far in a time when I was a demon king in the past.

If I had any anxiety about my strength or magic, I would have taken a careful rest, such as calling in proximity and letting it hit surveillance, but that was because back then, I had a sense of duty that I would never, ever die, no matter what.

He said he couldn't die, not for himself, but for his species.

But not now.

Of course, I don't want to die any more than I live like this.

I also want to live as long as I can and be greedy, but I don't have a sense of duty to live.

Even somewhat indefensible, its indefensibility, its sense of liberation, does not create anxiety in one's chest unlike in those days.

When you die, you die.

When it came to it, it was comfortable to be considered natural.

"I didn't feel very different... but still, they're changing..."

I'm not offended about that.

They became human beings from the ancient demons.

Some changes are rather irrelevant.

Besides, it's not like there's been any change in how things feel or think, or any change in the fact that Lulu is Lulu.

When there was nothing more wrong with her than being herself, Lulu felt deeply at ease and, as such, decided to let herself fall into the world of sleep, leaving herself to a slowly visiting sleeper.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"This way."

Illis and Zoe were guided by a woman, who thought she was a healer's assistant wearing white clothes and a hat, in one of the treatment centers where Lulu said he had come.

A treatment center that looks sturdy and is a big building, although not as good as the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

Among them, the two of them were guided into the biggest room.

From what I heard as I walked inside the treatment center, Lulu fell due to lack of magic after attempting to heal the example captive girl.

The auxiliary woman looked a little excited,

"This treatment center is where there are all of the well-armed healer teachers in the finals, but that one has treated the girl that everyone has disconnected as untreatable... Moreover, according to the Adventurer Union leader (Guildmaster) and lord, he was the most accomplished in the battle at the North Gate, after unleashing a number of massive sorceries. Healing magic is a necessary task with significant magic consumption and high concentration. I can't believe he did it after all that, and succeeded... who the hell is he..."

Said.

Try Zoe and Iris, I couldn't wait to say that it's natural because they're nosy or His Majesty, but I also know that two boulders shouldn't say that.

Orotos and Claude also talked about it, probably because Lulu had to tell the healer how much magic he consumed for that treatment, the situation, etc.

Even when asked who Lulu was, they laughed vaguely and replied that he was just an adventurer.

But I also told him to give me the finest room at the treatment center, so it seems like every area is just an attitude toward adventurers, but the price of this treatment center is never cheap, and the mouth seems to be a final stiff.

All in confidence, the auxiliary woman said she was convinced.

There seemed to be a little bit of a problem when she told Zoe and Iris because the Orotos told them that they didn't have to hide anything from them, and because they were the ones who could defuse the dilemma of not telling someone even if they wanted to.

The woman who spoke the whole way was satisfied and then led the two of them back to the holding room at the entrance to the treatment center, where they had been.

And then Illis knocks on the door to that room.
