135 – Soldier (1)

A quiet room contrasted with the noise outside. For some reason, it was as if I had accepted the afterglow of the sunset all by myself in the white room. The inside of the dorm, which had been crowded until yesterday, was desolate.

“What… Is that?”

It was a feeling of displeasure and alienation, as if I was abandoned in a different world. Cold sweat ran down my back like pieces of ice. Chilling at the quiet air in her room, Lilia quickly headed outside.

“Hey, I’m alive! Demon lord, this really wasn’t a big deal!”

“The person who was trembling until now speaks well~”

“Isn’t it pathetic to pretend to be dead to die in one blow?”

“It’s not a single blow. It split the wings twice and got the last one… It’s a third blow!”

“Fuhahahahaha! Yes, three strikes! He is a three strike demon.”

“Ah, embarrassing… Why were you afraid that it would be so easy to organize?”

“Isn’t this why ignorance is a sin? Those who are a bit great immediately figure out the situation and get it right away! Huh? It’s not like they immediately recognized the class and organized it. Ugh, we didn’t know that, so we cried and cried a lot…”

The turmoil that came into direct contact with me on the street was even more unpleasant. Lillia wasn’t a person who was very happy with such a festive atmosphere from the beginning. The amount of noise she was talking about with Eva was just right.

I didn’t like the bustle of scenes covered with ridicule, applause, and relief, like now. She’s been through it many times, but especially today.

“What… What are you talking about? Why did the demon king come out… And live? From what?”

Lillia looked around her as she obsessively bit her nails. She was trampled by her footsteps, and rags of newspaper caught her eye. Even the word Demon King written there.

If she was, she wouldn’t have touched her because she was dirty, but now was not the time to cover that up. Lillia picked up the dirty piece of newspaper and read it through.

“A demon king candidate exists…?! Why, why? Why did you announce this fact…”

Her head went blank. Her paper was dirty, so she couldn’t read the other letters, but that alone made her dizzy. It was clear that reading other articles would not help her much.

The expression she saw before she came to the inn, the last time she met Iba. Was it because of that bitter and tired face? Was it because he was aware of this announcement that he was so confused? The reason she sent her to the dorm was to avoid getting caught up in work?

I gritted my teeth. She didn’t want that kind of help. Were we not a community of destiny? Painful or difficult things should be shared together, so why carry them alone?

‘You didn’t have that much trust in me?’

What on earth should I do to open my heart? Lilia still resented him for not being able to fully lean her body against herself. If she knew this, she would tell me in advance….

“…”

Suddenly, his ordeal came to mind. He had the same trials as himself.

Stay alive.

Creepy.

Goose bumps crawled up like bugs and chilled her body. Fumbling with her own arm, Lilia continued to look around her. Eva, where is Eva? Of course she wouldn’t be there, but Lilia obsessively rolled her eyes, grasping for straw.

“…No.”

No. It should be no.

-Demon King Actually, this wasn’t a big deal!

A word from a passer-by came to mind.

“No!”

It’s just that I didn’t get flamed earlier because I ran too far by now. It must be so. Lilia stopped rolling her eyes and raised her wand with her trembling hand. Her hands trembled like someone from hypothermia, but her hands spelled out exactly the magic.

It’s simple if you just use fiber tracing magic. I remember what he was wearing today. If you use magic, you’ll quickly chase after them with a broomstick…

Not detected. The magic that he was reluctant to do because he was like a stalker did not reveal Eva’s whereabouts.

“Why? Oh, no, if there’s even a piece of clothing, it has to be detected… It’s strange, this is…”

Lillia’s anxiety rose hot like an active volcano, and she cooled and pressed itself against her heart. Her heart was beating like crazy, but her blood was only running cold. Her cold blood ran through her head, recalling a memory of hers.

-I really hope he dies, you bastard…!

The sound of grumbling after waking up today. Her words turned into her rusty nails and pierced her heart. She was out of breath and her legs were shaking. Lillia shouted as if chewing and spitting.

“Oh, no!! No! No… No… I didn’t mean it at all. I didn’t feel that way at all…”

There was none. She was just saying something pointless like any other curse word. There was not a single grain of sincerity. She never had such a mind. It was just an insignificant word that couldn’t even be a curse.

I could feel the eyes of the people around me. Lillia didn’t care at all. Muttering like a madman, Lilia walked down the street. If you meet anyone she knows, anyone who knows Eva, it’s clear that she will give you the right answer.

Those who talk frivolously on the streets now. In fact, if you know it, it’s obvious that it’s not a big topic. There must have been a candidate for the Demon King and it caused a runaway here.

‘But what is that? Whatever Maybe sometimes. Damn you don’t know anything! You don’t even know what hardships he went through to suppress his runaway…!’

Lillia looked around her bleakly as if looking at the number of her iron supporters. The time I spent with Eva was the time I witnessed his hardships and suffering. He could be confident that he knew better than anyone how much effort he had made to be a human being so as not to cause trouble to others.

That’s why those talkers were offended. Everyone would react like this when they saw him suffering from sleep deprivation and not being able to sleep properly. Lilia thought.

Also, the demon lord candidate was not subjugated. Just ran away That’s why people mock and talk like that. That’s clear

“Yeah.. That’s it… It’s just because he ran away ugly. It’s not a big deal. And later you can tell it to Eva and make fun of it…”

I was certain that if I caught a person walking on the street and asked him, I would definitely get an answer. But I was afraid to do that. The witch, like a symbol of learning, was afraid of knowing knowledge.

Blood dripped from her wrapped arm. It was because she had squeezed it so tightly that her fingernails scratched her bare skin. Lilia said she didn’t mind the pain in her arm now and she continued walking.

A passer-by, unable to see the breathtaking sight, asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

“Hey girl it’s okay…”

“Don’t touch!”

In her tantrum, Lilia removed her hand.

“A dirty man who isn’t even an Iva…!”

This is a contact only allowed to him. Men cannot be generalized as a category, and it is only allowed for that person. Lillia patted the place where her hand had touched until just now, as if brushing off dirty dust.

Her resentment has nowhere to go, sending her thorns out in all directions. The passer-by scratched her head shyly and tried to back off.

“…Wait.”

Lilia called him back with her sharp eyes.

“Do you know what happened to the demon king candidate today?”

Asked, suppressing her fear. The lead over her fears was hope. The hopeful observation he made earlier, his delusion of survival, became a curiosity and gave him the courage to ask.

“What are you talking about, lady. Where have you been…”

“It’s okay, just say it!”

However, that hopeful observation.

“…You’ve been subjugated.”

Simply denied.

“…What? Don’t joke. The demon king candidate is so simple…”

“He died very easily. As the candidate for the hero and the leader of the Holy Knights flapped their wings, the devil’s realm dropped a sun-like circle and melted it down? It happened very quickly…”

The passer-by continued to talk to himself under the guise of an answer, as if his heart was overflowing again at the thought of the scene.

“Oh, how brave that scene was. It appeared when everyone was afraid…”

“Shut up.”

“Huh?”

“Shut up!”

Suddenly, the passerby stepped back. It was because Lilia’s eyes were much fiercer than before. It was like a knife in the rain, and it was full of resentment. A blade with a gaze. It was okay to call it murder.

“Don’t talk any more… I want to tear your mouth open…”

Faced with a huge unrefined murderous intent, the man took a few steps back and ran away. He was a burden to those who lived an ordinary life.

“…”

Lilia stared at the spot where he had fled. She didn’t feel it. She still felt like she was dreaming. She felt like she was walking through a bad nightmare.

When I woke up from this terrible dream, it felt like Iva would hug and comfort me as I whined. But the throbbing fingernail marks on his arm ruthlessly informed us that this place was real.

I shouldn’t have known. You shouldn’t have wondered in the first place…

Sorry for a while. Lillia lost her strength and sat down on her sidewalk. She covered her face with both hands and averted her eyes from this distance.

As she turned the hard-to-face reality into darkness, now the scenery of her past came to mind and spread out in the palm of her hand.

Iba’s last meeting as I recalled earlier. That look. Bitter and tired, it looks dangerous as if it will crumble at any moment.

He knew this situation in advance.

Lilia noticed.

He felt sorry for deceiving himself, and suffered.

‘I didn’t clean it up because I didn’t trust me… It was because I cared so much. I was afraid that I might be in danger, so I was isolated in a safe place…’

Toward him like that…

-I really hope he dies, you bastard…!

“Oops…”

In an instant, nausea came up. I barely endured it by pressing my hand over my mouth, but thanks to that, my vision was restored.

When I raise my head slightly, I see the scenery of the street.

Those who talk loudly and people who blow bottles and drink on the street. Far from stopping them, no one, on the contrary, joined them in the mending. A bard who sings with alcohol as a friend, and children who do not return home even though it is this evening and follow him.

Less damage on the street. The visible destruction now took place only in the distant mountains. Lillia knows the power of Iva. If he had released his power, the streets wouldn’t have been this clean.

He is patient.

In order to save even one of these bugs, I accepted death without resistance, holding on to reason.

Even so, these people hold a party as if Iba’s death was the most joyful event. He mocked death and rejoiced in defeat as if he were the greatest sergeant in the world.

The world was covered with joy. The sky was terribly beautiful at sunset, and the border between vermilion and black met, turning the sky into a fantastic purple. Even the world seemed to rejoice over his death.

“…Don’t f*ck with me.”

Lillia pulled out her wand. A cane that she wouldn’t pull out except when she didn’t start a fight in her life. This was an exception. Everyone in the world was arguing with her.

Don’t laugh. Don’t talk You guys are not something to be ridiculed for. It is not something to be polluted with that insignificant mouth.

“Don’t f*ck!”

I screamed as if I was vomiting blood from my mouth. hahahahahoho, the eyes of the rioting crowd focused on Lillia.

“Who is dead… My seed, which can’t be changed even if hundreds of you are replaced…!”

Her hand holding her cane swung like a whip.

“Look at me… This is the kind of person you were meant to be… How ugly is that?”

Quang!

As she waved her hand nervously, a violent wave came out along that direction. The bricks of the street hit by the wave were torn to pieces, and a tree that people were playing with fell down.

“Disgusting! Dirty! Terrible…! Damn things… What makes you smile so much…?”

A silence fell on the streets that had been covered with joy. It was satisfactory.

“Get out of my way! Don’t raise that hateful corner of your mouth!”

Lillia continued to fire her magic to become more satisfied.

It was something that would happen some time later when her blond Demon Lord came running to stop her.

**

“Is there any reason not to go back?”

I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and asked.

“What? Where?”

“Where are you? Of course, continuing the ordeal with the Flower Witch…”

“No.”

However, he coldly spit out the answer to my question.

“Why?”

“It’s a big case of being a candidate for the Demon King. In fact, the fact that he was a flower witch’s seed will soon be revealed. No matter how much the Witch Association silences it and pours memory erasing magic, there will be limits to hiding it. In the meantime, subjugation It wasn’t long after the news spread that Lilia had a man by her side?”

“Ah…”

I nodded in agreement.

“I’ll have to keep defeating the crazy bastards who come to subdue me. Plus, Lilia’s going to get tired as well… And everyone else related to her.”

There was a feeling of guilt or gloom on his face. If that’s the case, don’t even try it in the first place. It’s so disgusting. I feel sorry for the flower witch and the candidate for the hero.

“Also, the ritual to summon the demon of death lasts for one year. If the fear of death continues to spread, what if? That bastard might come out. It would be helpful to remain secluded for the next year. “

“Isn’t that too strict?”

“…There hasn’t even been a voice announcing the end of the ordeal yet. Maybe… I think it only rings when the ritual is completely over. Until then, I can’t act rashly.”

His expression at the mention of the demon of death was very disturbing. He doesn’t know what happened to him, but he seems to be deeply traumatized. Was it something to be so careful about? I’m not sure…..

“Besides, I’m very fickle. I don’t know where I’ll bounce after I set it free. I don’t know if I’m suddenly frustrated and spread my wings and scream.”

“That’s right…”

“Don’t agree, damn you.”

Seeing as he calls himself a toxic assistant, he seems capable of self-objectification.

“Isn’t that the world tree?”

“Yes, perfect for seclusion for a year.”

I nodded my head. That’s right. It is best suited to contain such a vicious demon. There are also many grudges in the elven forest. It’s even better that Gran Impurity could destroy the place.

“That doesn’t work at all, that’s rubbish.”

“I did something to be sorry for… That’s why you’re so important.”

“…Yes?”

What are you talking about this guy?

“Aren’t you good at playing the dark side? Insist on the fact that I’m alive. Let me know what they’re up to from time to time.”

“What is that…”

“Are you rebelling?”

He laughed evilly. Ugh, I can’t resist him. A weakness has been found. It’s heartbreaking…!

“…Keep your promise.”

“Of course.”

It seems that the journey ahead will be more difficult than I thought.

Life.
