Yuusha Isagi no Maou Hanashi

11-1 Dreams and Tsunamis

Every labyrinth has a life span.

A nuclear demon crystal is born at the bottom of the land, and it is raw, and they are brought up by the blood of their lured prey, and they take their lives by their lured prey.

The labyrinth will not continue to expand indefinitely. Because predators always appear before the labyrinths.

Thus, all the labyrinths have a lifespan.

It seemed, alternatively, to offer demonic crystals to the people.

Behind the man, one labyrinth was about to collapse now.

The labyrinth, which by the removal of the nuclear Demon Crystal, no longer maintains the demon-worldized interior, eventually undergoes transformation into just a hole. The interior is full of dirt, and everything is buried. The body of the adventurer, the sword and the armor.

One old man stared at the death of the underground labyrinth Ratatosk as the earth, which had finished its service, fell asleep.

He was an employee of the Adventurer Guild, which manages this labyrinth. And he is also an old man who sent one man to this labyrinth before.

The man with the eyelid held the nuclear demon crystal alive and crawled out of that hell.

The luck of being there was even fate for the old man.

Because the Demon Crystal...

"... preha, sama...?

The old man's crouched voice was anointed by the crumbling roar of the underground labyrinth.

It didn't reach anyone, it drifted to the mouth and quickly disappeared.

I'll see. The man's costume was bloody.

I see. The man's footsteps were not so relied upon that they were likely to break even now, and it was easy to see that he was full of creativity.

But the old man didn't even think of helping him. On the contrary, such awe was tightening his whole body as if he would be slashed to death if he came close.

Speaking of clarity, the man was someone else.

It's not like him before diving into this labyrinth. But that's not uncommon. Man despairs at the bottom of the earth, no man. Talk to a man, it was just not an exception.

But still, the man was the exception. The man got the nuclear demon crystal. I brought back that treasure that no one could have done before.

The nuclear demon crystal was a woman. He looked like a woman praying to God, changing color with a reflection of light. The figure was beautiful, shy, like a goddess who had lost her life.

A man with a nuclear demon crystal even looks like a reaper mowing his soul.

The man sweeps the ground in its unreliable footsteps and walks down. It's a half-dead foothold, passing past the old man's side. When he said it was such a body, the eyes peeking through the gaps in his hair shimmered like starving beasts.

The old man looks back haphazardly. Ask against a man's back. In the sound of the Ratatosk collapse, he raised his utmost voice.

"- Where are you going!

The words contained various intentions, thoughts of a sense of universe.

The man is a strong man who broke through the underground labyrinth Ratatosk. He's an honorable adventurer who brought home a nuclear demon crystal.

Most of what the old man had delivered all along never returned.

Though they were prepared to be adventurers, I had feelings for them.

There is no day when I did not bother with the cause of my duty to bring men to death.

But the man is back. Try it alone, too.

A man's feat is something to be told to people. The man cleared the old man of his sins, so to speak.

And yet why, why not?

Instead of a way to be lit by light, he was headed for the comatose forest.

A man who is supposed to be admired, praised and scorched by people abandons everything and walks away.

Lonely, oligarchy, and tremendously.

From light to darkness...

To the old man's question, the man responds.

Just talk, as if to carve a footprint.

- My journey is over.

His eyes were dyed so red, red and red that he could no longer go back.

Brave Isagi's Demon King Tan

"Episode 11-1 Dreams and Tsunamis"

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The Elves have long lived in the Great Forest Mistral.

There are theories about why they kept themselves in the woods to avoid the eyes.

Says it is the result of being chased to a place of residence by a human race.

Says the doctrine of living under the world tree inherited by our ancestors is rooted.

Says he's hiding here because he hates other races.

Long enough to forget why even the Elves are and why, their country Mistrand was always with the Great Forest Mistral.

Along with a serene life, they elves build their own unique civilization and society, following a moderate decline as if to prove the desolation and decay of the species.

- And by the hands of the adventurers, it was destroyed in seven days.

Mistrals were being pioneered by the hands of men, but some of them still left their former appearance colorful.

This is one such, doomed Elf village.

In a slightly larger house that spared the burnout, he - Isagi Asapura - was there.

An unemployed boy who was once summoned by Alvaris at the age of thirteen, and after a three-year journey, discussed the demon king Henrimanyu, and was summoned again.

In the turmoil that changed the world, he continued his journey, only with the desire to "reunite with his first lover, who has been found in a second summons".

He became a demon king and a brave man for countless people.

Fighting countless times, saving the world, he continued to rise.

I only lived holding on to one small thought, the end of a two-year journey.

The wish was crushed and shaken in its hands.

He, turning eighteen, leaves Ratatosk and walks quietly.

And it was in this land that Isagi came.

Behind the deep woods. A house supported by a collapsing pillar of a doomed village. That was the end of a man formerly known as the Brave.

He had a magic crystal.

Said to make every wish come true, make it a piece of magic and the ultimate magic tool. There was one great demon crystal.

But I know Isagi.

That's what it is, the only thing is that only his wishes don't come true.

I don't want anything more from Isagi.

There is no wish in that heart.

Because everything was lost.

The days he spent were no longer but the rest of his life.

It took Isagi three days to repair the leaning house.

The ingredients came from other houses.

Clean the room without scraping, tidy the bedroom and make the dining room.

Little by little, Isagi returns the house to its original appearance as she continues to live that day.

In the beginning, he lived only with preserved food he brought into the labyrinth, but in time, Isagi started hunting.

With the disappearance of the Elves, it appears that there were abundant wild animals living around.

With regard to drinking water and domestic water, it was substituted by magic on its throat.

In the living room, Isagi installed the Great Demon Crystal.

It is a statue of a beautiful woman in a coat who stands with her hands together and praying.

Losing her colour and glowing pale in an ashy rainbow, she closes her eyes and continues to stand there unspeakably.

"Preha"

There are no words to respond to the call.

Still, Isagi talks. With a cheek wand on the table, staring at her.

"From now on, you're with me, Preah.

Something's happened... but from now on, we're together. "

In his blurry red eyes, the light of the Devil's Crystal is reflected.

It was a night when the voices of the beasts and the birds whispered.

"... well, even if it's a long story, shall we get started?

I don't know why I came to this world 20 years later. "

Like filling in the time between the two, Isagi speaks out.

Is this go nil or worthless? That's not a problem for him right now.

At the source of the shark is the Great Demon Crystal (Preah).

That was the fact, and that was all for Isagi today.

"Shortly after I killed the Demon King, I woke up in a dim room..."

After a long night, Isagi and the Great Demon Crystal (Preah) began to live under one roof.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Preah was bright and always illuminated me with a sunny smile.

On the other hand, the lonely look she occasionally gave, living with anxiety, seemed to be the moonlight peeking from among the clouds, tightening the chest of the rabbit.

I didn't want you to look like that, and I've been fighting.

For three years, it was for Preah to behave as a brave man.

It was nothing less, nothing more.

"I'm home, Preah"

Isagi, who came back bearing the flesh of the beast that had been dismantled and washed in water, spoke to her as usual.

The Great Demon Crystal (Preah) says nothing, and nothing changes there, greeting the rabbit.

The look on Isagi's face staring at her was really complicated.

I'm about to cry now, but I even have a smile on my mouth.

The gaze was fixed to the preha so that it was sucked in, which did not shake even fine dust at the moment of placing the luggage on the table.

Preah is beautiful.

Its golden hair with a scent of yang, its soft cheeks, its luxurious shoulders and its slender, stretched long legs all seem to be a first-class work of art.

"So you won't really be a work of art.

... you know what? Preah. "

I crush sarcastically, but the word only vanishes vainly.

"The Great Demon Crystal, huh?

Existing in this Alvaris, the only...

It feels like the great magician is on his way. "

A rabbit with a cheek wand and looking up at her, as usual.

The hand slowly reaches the Great Demon Crystal (Preah).

"... preha"

Touch her hard skin. There was no warmth, and it was limp and cold as if I had stroked the ore.

The feeling of the Demonic Crystal is uncomfortable. That is due to the mood of a rabbit who doesn't like Levibstone.

Isagi stands up quietly and stretches her fingers.

Up from that hand to the elbow, touching the shoulder. Follow cold skin to the neck muscle.

……

stroking her cheeks from her mandible, and that's how Isagi's fingers touched her lips.

Isagi swallows saliva.

He strokes his lips behind his fingers, and Isagi slowly moves his face closer to her.

But the movement stopped on the brink.

"... let it be"

Isagi turns away and covers his eyes with his palm.

In shame of not going, which he was about to do, Isagi sat back in his chair.

"I'm with Preah..."

I just missed you, I wanted to hug you, and that's how I've continued my journey.

If I had to see it in front of me, I would have been disgusted with myself for desire.

That, too, closes her eyes as she keeps sleeping. All the more so. I thought it was a cowardly imitation.

"... sorry, Preah"

Even the words of that apology make me feel thin myself.

Before the woman she loved, Isagi held her fist and leaned down.

The long night is over, and the morning is coming again.

The days of the Isagi go on here.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Talk a little, go back.

Isagi discovered the Great Demon Crystal (Preah) in the deepest part of the underground labyrinth, holding her back and turning back the path she had come to return to earth.

The souls (undead) were relentlessly attacked by the rabbits who had already swallowed the Livestones, consumed their magic, and tormented their flesh.

They attack more fiercely than ever against anything that tries to take away the labyrinth's nuclear demon crystal, which is more of a monster.

In particular, the battle between the fourth and third tiers culminated in chaos.

There is a path ahead of the Isagi. But there is no future ahead.

Still, Isagi slashed off what stood, and headed to the ground.

To bring Preah back under the sun's light. To carry her to the resting place.

I no longer had the strength, my footsteps were heavy.

He held the Preah, and because one hand was blocked, he could not even stand around properly, and as a result, Isagi suffered numerous hand injuries. It was even fatal at times.

But Levibstone heals his wounds. While shredding souls, the flesh aspires to the earth. As long as there's life, he's on his way.

It's an easier path if you give up. If we let go of the nuclear demon crystal, the soul man won't be chasing the rabbit any more.

Free yourself from hardship and misery, pain and anxiety.

"You can stop now."

"What's it gonna be doing this?

"She's dead."

"There's no point in your actions."

"So Hola, throw that load away."

'Let's not do something painful right now, shall we?

Come here.

That voice of the mermaids, heard as they walked on the third tier, the Shining Sand Sea, was sweet and even fascinating.

She's gone. Despair must have tasted.

Then the same thing as either. If Livestone's effect time runs out and he falls here, he's dead to the dog.

Then why are you doing this? Who the hell for? For what?

Where is the reason why a rabbit has to get boiled down on such a journey? There's nothing like that. There is no reason.

No.

It's not the beginning of reason.

There is will.

There is only the will, that it doesn't matter if you do your best here.

The appearance of a rabbit holding the wreckage of a loved one and still walking can no longer be accomplished with the word hard work or good health.

The second tier, many times fitting the crisis of the fall, nevertheless he turns to the outside world.

By this time, the rabbit, who could leave the undead with the will that could not have appeared in this hierarchy, was already half-conscious.

Still, I went up there for what the hell?

To settle your own mind?

Is that the way to mark the end of your journey?

No. It's not.

That kind of thing is second to none.

There was no longer happiness or anything else in her unspeakable, and in the end there was nothing in Isagi's head today, such as the rationale that it was only a ritual for those left to convince.

Isagi was just thinking about Preah.

In this darkness, I thought there should be no such thing as loving her standing alone, praying to God forever.

Take Preah outside. To a warm house. To the blooming flower garden. To the plateau through which the wind passes. By the spiralling fresh stream. To the moonlight.

Just for that. That's all for.

That's all the isagi are for.

No - for that matter, I thought you wouldn't mind throwing your life away.

Isagi believed the act was worthwhile.

Living for eighteen years, continuing his efforts, being called a brave man, saving, saving, hurting, meeting and traveling with all sorts of people, he said that this life, which has risen to the strongest of Alvaris, is only worth matching.

Isagi believed.

She was not rewarded.

What else can you do to her like that?

Nothing, because nothing.

Isagi just walks.

Take the girl you love down to the sun.

Hold that thought, walk.

Isagi climbed up the second tier.

With the monster of the first tier, the rabbit makes the light of the red eye shine like a setting sun, and beckons.

The ground was right there.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The moon flows.

The days when Isagi lived with the Great Demon Crystal (Preah) were calm and nothing.

I woke up in the morning, procured food at noon, and when I returned, I kept staring at the Great Demon Crystal all day.

That must have been a happy day.

But it was a hard, painful time.

It was an unending, sadly colored afterlife.

My impertinence and helplessness just continued to bite my routine.

On this day Isagi was at the base of the Great Demon Crystal (Preah), as usual.

But notice the anomaly and wake up the body.

……

For the first time in a long time, Isagi felt signs of people.

- Someone is approaching this house.

What the hell are you doing in such a doomed village?

Has some investigator arrived?

Or......

Isagi glanced at the Great Demon Crystal.

"... no way"

I hope it's my fault.

What lies at the source of the Isagi is the Demonic Crystal - the Extremely Great Demonic Crystal - where all wishes are said to come true.

I thought no one had seen me, but still, the collapse of Ratatosk should have spread all over the world by now.

Isn't that surprising, then?

If that's really the case, there's no reason to cut it.

Isagi rises up and takes the silver sword claussorus he keeps on the wall.

"I'll take a look, Preah"

He said softly, and that's how Isagi headed to the front door.

Assuming an intruder comes and that's how you intend to take away the Great Demon Crystal (Preah).

- Now Isagi will not feel any hesitation in slaughtering that intruder.

As I approached the front door, I could hear even more faint footsteps.

Isagi lurks his breath and puts his hand on the door.

……

Think a little.

If you are just a traveler, what do you do?

Nobody knows that Isagi lives in this place.

Let's say the traveler noticed something.

It doesn't have to be a magic crystal. Suppose I was suspicious that just a man lived in such a despicable place.

If the very fact that you're back in town tells someone, it doesn't necessarily mean the rumors won't spread from there.

Travelers are not guilty.

But... so what happened?

From this world, where only one life has been crushed, what will happen?

The answer is no different.

Isn't that the quickest way to protect the Great Demon Crystal (Preah)?

And, realizing herself thinking such a thing, Isagi shook her head.

The rabbit gently holds his temples and closes his eyes.

"... what are you thinking, I...

That's paranoid. Ridiculous...... "

If you don't know anything, you can chase it back.

If you want to take away the Demon Crystal with a clear will, kill it.

Either is fine. Yes, one way or another.

At last, the signs of man approached, and Isagi never opened the door to his will.

The result is...

Neither, of.

She was at the end of the road a little further from home.

I looked at this one and was amazingly round my eyes.

The same goes for the sharks.

I open my eyes, like I saw something incredible.

No way.

That can't be right.

――

She says something and rushes over here.

Isagi's hand, holding the knob, was trembling.

That girl.

She...

――

Isagi knows the voice, her tricks, everything.

I knew. The name, always, was with Isagi.

She is exactly.

Exactly.

"... preha...?

There she is.

The beautiful girl, who had become an extreme demonic crystal, stood, leaving behind the shadow of the time.

It's Preah. It's real, it's Preah.

There's no way Isagi can see it wrong. She was herself.

Is this an illusion?

Has the rabbit finally gone crazy?

Yes, he fears, I think.

But it wasn't.

Preah came to Isagi delighted, wrapped his arms around his neck, and hugged him.

She had an entity, a flesh. I felt soft. There was a good warmth.

- Is Preah alive?

She was clear, she knew the rabbit. There was a love affair there. There was a love affair, as usual.

The thoughts are conveyed. When was the shaking of the rabbit, it stopped.

"Preha......?

But the rabbit didn't believe me.

Why is she here alive? Isagi thought something so convenient couldn't happen.

Confused. I don't know what the hell is going on.

The imagination that this land may be demon-worlding makes me think.

But it is unlikely that such things will happen outside the labyrinth first.

Above all, she had flesh. And willingly, he's happily holding Isagi's hand.

Holding her head, Isagi invites her into the living room. There, after all, stood the Extremely Great Demonic Crystal in the figure of Preah. There was no such thing as sudden movement.

Then what the hell is this? So you're saying it's not a real preha?

I don't know. Before Isagi, she smiles, who is it?

It seemed foggy on my head.

Isagi asks the girl why she's here.

Then she narrowed her eyes, and with a crying smile, she whispered to Isaac, saying:

- Because I wanted to see you, Isagi.

The voice, the words, tightened sharply the chest of the rabbit.

She's right in front of you, and she's alive. He's holding my hand, and he's smiling.

I thought there was nothing else I needed.

Isagi's wish was nothing else.

"Oh, Preah, you... here..."

Isagi leans down and bites his lips.

There were so many words I wanted to say when I reunited, but nothing came up.

Isagi doesn't believe in miracles.

But even if this was the devil's work, Isagi was now in the mood to thank the devil.

"I know, I know, Isagi"

She strokes the head of a rabbit.

Gentle as a mother makes a child, combs her hair.

"If you're looking at a rabbit, you'll see.

Good luck with that, yeah. Because I know.

That's why it's okay. That's enough, Isagi. "

"... uh, puff, ha..."

I don't have a voice. Words are jammed and cannot be swallowed or spit out.

She held such a rabbit.

"You have the best cancer in the world.

I know that... only I know that.

So, it's okay, it's okay. "

I could no longer discipline myself on Isagi.

No self-control could resist the wave of whimpering that pushed me.

Though he thinks he'll show her something ugly, Isagi can't shed a flowing tear.

Poorly dressed. Pity. The voice that blames herself will eventually disappear, wrapped in her words.

"Hey, Isagi... You don't have to hang in there anymore, okay?

Together, here, living? Right...?

I've always loved rabbits.

The two of us, from now on, all the time... "

Oh.

Oh.

I can't believe you can hear those words from Preah's mouth.

Isagi held her shoulder and looked at her goddess-like smile from the front.

In my sight messed up by tears...

"I've always, always liked it, Preah.

You were the only one who liked you.

My first love was Preah. "

- I made a confession.

She shed a glimmer of tears from the edge of her eyes, then smiled her best and replied.

"Me too, Isagi."

She is not an illusion or anything.

Preah was certainly here now.

That's all I had, it was enough.

The rabbit's soul was saved.

The way you two talk.

... Only the Great Demon Crystal watched quietly.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Isagi and she started living together in this house.

That was definitely a happy time.

"Morning, Preah"

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

When I woke up, there was a look at Preah.

Standing in the kitchen, she smiles and looks back.

The girl sings a nose song as she sautés the weed she has picked and the meat that the rabbit has left in a frying pan.

Watching such hindsight, Isagi felt her eyeballs accidentally getting hot.

I've been dreaming about this coming.

When she hugs her thin body from her back, she says with a laugh.

"What's wrong, Isagi?

I can't have dinner yet. Can't stand it?

"... preha"

Calling the name to be sure, she has reached for the head of the rabbit.

"... I'm here, Isagi.

I've been by your side the whole time, right?

So don't cry anymore,... Isagi "

……

Isagi closed her eyes as she stroked her.

I sincerely hoped that this life would last forever.

I've been looking for just her the whole time.

Twenty years later I came to this world, separated, and still continued to seek only Preah.

I made the world peaceful because I wanted to protect this Alvaris that Preah loved.

The trip to Isagi was for her.

That just came true.

I don't care who the Great Demon Crystal is or the mystery she lived in.

There's nothing more important than that fact that she's here.

If I pursued it in detail, I felt like I would wake up from my dreams.

So Isagi doesn't think anything anymore.

I don't need to think about it anymore.

Because she's here.

Because she lives with herself.

Maybe I should have done this from the beginning.

If you don't defeat the Demon King, do nothing, and run away with her and you.

I guess this peace of mind has been going on all along.

Eternal days, like Shizukuishi falling and scraping rocks.

"Preha......"

"... yeah"

"I..."

"... yeah, yeah"

Tears are creeping up on my lid.

I can't contain it.

Just because she's around, no more sharks.

There's nothing I can do.

I never want to let go of this smile, this voice.

Whatever happens, what makes you let go?

No matter what difficulties, misfortune strikes.

Let's spend the rest of our lives defending Preah.

I made a promise to myself at a young age.

Now it's time to squeeze and live.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

"... preha"

"Ah..."

Hold her hand, Isagi swears.

"Here, with me, let's live.

All the time, together, Preah. Let's live together. "

Her grin, giggling dull, was as if she had been waiting for the word.

Stroke the rabbit's hair and reach out to his cheek.

And she, in her loving voice, couldn't wait to kiss Isagi's lips.

"Yes, welcome"

They started living under one roof.

Isagi's heart was saved...
