On the second day, this is the update of the second episode.

If you haven't seen the previous episode, please do so first.

The corpse of the lark was buried near the house where he had lived for a long time.

Left alone, I set fire to the house I had been living in.

Ignoring Hisago's entreaties and looking at his memories, I couldn't forgive myself for playing with the corpse of his father and benefactor, so I first erased my place with my own hands.

 

Looking at his memory, I decided to do what Hisago couldn't do.

For the sake of his father, he stops the trials for the future that he has prepared.

The first thing he did to do this was to take the light magic that he had extracted along with Hisago's memories into his body.

 

"We need his light magic to break the seal that Hisago has placed on us, and we need to be able to use his magic to do so."

 

With my magic, I can take it out and bind it to another body.

In any case, all of them that Hisago left behind for the trials of the future are not insignificant disasters.

I reached for the light magic of the Hisago that I had taken out by magic and touched the light.

 

「…… Gah

 

The first thing I felt was unimaginable pain.

And the tremendous discomfort that I will no longer be me.

I was finally able to let go of the torrent of power and information that would have obliterated my own existence if I had touched my right hand, and I wound my own hand with the knife that was beside me.

 

"This is ...... It's not something that living things can bear......!!"

 

Even I, with the power of the devil mixed in, could not stand it for a few seconds.

I couldn't stop being scared to think that if I had been a few seconds late, I would have reached the limit not only mentally but also physically.

 

——— magic is deeply connected to the soul.

 

If you try to take in the magic itself, not the outside, you will be repainted yourself.

In order for me to own light magic, I need a body that can withstand it, and I need the mental strength and determination to endure all kinds of pain.

 

———, but I didn't have that.

 

You will no longer be yourself.

I felt the fear that my body and mind were about to be repainted by light magic.

 

「…… We have to find another way."

 

In order to do something about the seal, you need light magic.

But I don't know what will happen to me if I do that.

I decided to gather knowledge first.

 

●

 

It is impossible to imbue this body with light magic in a normal way.

We need time.

It's also a tremendous amount of time.

You have to gather knowledge and hone your skills.

You have to go on a journey.

I ventured out into the outside world, which I had never tried to know before.

 

Decades have passed since the battle with the Demon Lord, and the world has become calmer than I had imagined, as the memories of the terrible war have faded from people's memories.

There was no conflict between humans, and the demons that incited the battle were obliterated by Hisago except me.

Hisago's actions were not in vain.

At the same time, the thought came to my mind that this peace was made possible by his sacrifice.

 

Behind the scenes, I traveled around the country and gathered knowledge earnestly.

The structure of the human body.

Witchcraft, wisdom about magic.

I've looked at everything from what I need to what I don't think I can do.

In the midst of all this, Hisago went to check on the trials of humanity left for the future, but he succeeded in contacting an entity that was part of it.

 

"Do you want to see my collection?" It would be nice. Instead, I'd like to hear your story. Tell me about you, the only demon in the world.'

 

The "Evil Dragon" is one of the first trials left for humanity prepared by Hisago

The vampire who collected the body and his wife, the necromancer

As I had expected, the Evil Dragon had been sealed so powerful that I could not do anything about it, but instead I was able to borrow its knowledge and library from a couple who were curious about my existence.

 

"If you can't do it yourself, why don't you just prepare a body with light magic from the beginning? All you have to do is put your soul in there and it will be solved.'

 

On the advice of the necromancer, the answer I eventually came up with was to prepare a doll with information about the body of the sassago.

The source of the body is the necromancer, and in the body is Hisago's memory, light magic, and his informationBones of the body・・・・Embedding and connecting.

Sole, which does not deteriorate due to the necromancer's technique, looks like an exquisite doll from the side.

However, once activated, it begins its life activities in the same way as humans.

 

——— then the doll was completed 200 years after Hisago's death.

 

At some point, the "achievement" was completed while even the interaction between the vampire and the necromancer was cut off.

You can finally take the first step.

With that in mind, I reached out to transfer my soul to the doll.

 

"No, wait......

 

As I stretched out my hand, the concern in my thoughts crossed.

What if I fail in this body?

 

——I will continue to live as a human being.

 

What if the seal placed by Hisago is broken while he is alive?

 

——I will die in my lifetime, and there will be no one who can manage the ordeal.

 

Is it okay to start it here and now?

 

There is no guarantee that it will succeed.

 

"Why, here and now...... Am I hesitating?"

 

What are you afraid of?

Why do you endlessly make excuses for not taking action?

I asked myself this question over and over again, and finally I realized my true feelings.

 

"Ha, ha...... Oh,."

 

I retracted my outstretched hand on the doll and sat back staggeringly, smiling dryly.

There is no such thing.

I was about to give up for a good reason, because I was afraid of my life.

 

"It's like...... Isn't it the same as the devil's mentality......!!"

 

A mixture of human and demon.

In addition to possessing the immortality that is a demonic strength, I also have a mental fragility and a selfish weakness that puts my own life first.

I finally realized that and despaired of my own ugliness.

 

"What do I want to do......

 

The words of lament that leaked out of his mouth were the same words as Hisago, who was strangely anguished in his memory.

After hundreds of years, what did we want to do in the end?

No matter how far I go, I am a lowly devil who spares my life, and I cannot be like Hisago.

The reason why I spent so much time was because I was procrastinating on getting ready.

 

●

 

My heart was broken.

I should have wanted to correct Hisago's mistakes on his behalf, but I was too lazy to risk my own life.

I became disgusted by this fact, and I retreated to the outskirts of the village near the city of Kamherio, where I had lived with Hisago ——— my former home, like a corpse.

 

Using the knowledge of medicinal herbs that he learned in the course of his travels, he lives in a relaxed manner.

I guess this kind of life was more suitable for my sexuality.

I was content with a peaceful life where I was not in a hurry to fight or be in a hurry to do anything, while I mocked myself that it was perfect for me as a devil to run away from everything and hide and retreat.

 

Then another long time passed.

Over and over again, the faces of the villagers changed, and I myself left the village at the right time so as not to be suspicious, and returned repeatedly.

 

"Oh, shea! I'm making a mess again!!"

 

A girl's voice echoed noisily in a rag hut on the outskirts of the village where I live.

With a loud sigh at the voice, he turned around to see Mio, a girl with bright blonde hair tied back in front of the open door———

 

"Are you here again?"

"I'm coming! Until you make me your apprentice!!"

"No, give up."

"Absolutely disgusting."

 

For some reason, I was taken aback by one of the village brats.

I was intrigued by the fact that I saw that they were wholesaling medicinal herbs that I was asked to do from time to time, but I never thought that I would come to the outskirts of the village like this.

To be honest, I don't want them to come very often, and I don't think the villagers will be comfortable with me.

 

"You're still 10."

"I'm 13 years old."

"It's the same thing, isn't it?"

"It's completely different!?"

 

If you live this long, your sense of time will become rough.

Complaining and picking up things on the floor, Mio continues to talk to me.

 

"Speaking of which, the Demon King has been resurrected and the Ringle Kingdom is now under attack...... I'm not sure."

「…… What's that?"

 

Mio's small talk, which she told me, made my heart freeze.

The Demon King has been resurrected and is attacking the Kingdom of Ringle?

He knew that one day, the Demon King's seal would be broken, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly.

 

"Sia, what's wrong?"

「…… No, it's nothing."

 

I forcibly suppressed my raging inner thoughts and feigned emotionlessness, and I could only reply to Mio's words.

Even if you think it's pathetic, the other party is the Demon King.

Just a long-lived ...... like me I didn't think I could do anything half-heartedly with a mixture of demon and human blood.

 

●

 

But I couldn't ignore it.

Then, I followed the few messengers and gathered as much information as possible about the Demon Lord's army and the Ringle Kingdom.

I didn't want to do anything special, but I still couldn't leave it alone.

However, after all, both the Demon King and the Demon Clan seemed to be weakened considerably due to Hisago, and even after two years, the Ringle Kingdom was not defeated and the battle continued, but the stalemate came to a major change.

 

——— two years after the resurrection of the Demon King, the heroes of the Ringle Kingdom defeated the Demon King's army.

 

When I heard the news, my first thought was confusion.

In the past two years, I hadn't heard of any heroes in the Lingle Kingdom.

I had heard the names of Rose, the Rescue Team, and Sigurd, the Legion Commander, but I didn't expect two young mid-teenage heroes to suddenly appear out of thin air———、

 

"Hero, ...... summons?"

 

The event that caused Hisago to be summoned from another world and suffer again.

 

"Like a lark again...... Did you involve innocent people from another world......

 

Without saying anything to Mio, I left the village and headed for the Lingle Kingdom.

A calm country that has not changed since the time of Hisago.

In the wake of the Demon King's invasion, he had to know how those who were summoned to the edge of a cliff were treated.

 

——— as it turned out, my prediction was correct, and my fears were unfounded.

 

Summoned to the Ringle Kingdom were three boys and girls in their mid-teens.

Summoned as two heroes and the other as ordinary people who were just caught up, each of them found their own way to do things and fight for the people of the Ringle Kingdom.

And the people of the Ringle Kingdom, who supported them, also helped, appreciated, and accepted them, unlike the country where Hisago was.

 

"It's completely different from Hisago."

 

Two heroes in the royal castle.

Both lived in this world with the help of the people of the castle.

I felt an indescribable emotion at the fact that I was not being forced to do so, but that I was fighting of my own volition.

And when I go to see the other person who was involved———、

 

"Oi, Korra, Temeusato!! I'm not going to defend myself, I'm going to be hesitant!!"

"What are you talking about defense penetration?!"

 

——— was supposed to be ridiculous.

The black-haired boy bounced on the ground several times and then crashed into the trees and disappeared into the depths of the forest, and the green-haired woman ——— bitten by Rose, the leader of the rescue team, and the spectacular scene is reflected in the field of vision.

 

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I guess it's because I'm going to take it halfway!

"It was an all-out defense! I thought I was going to die!!"

"I can't avoid it because Temeje doesn't try to avoid it!!"

"Shhh.........hh This devilish and unreasonable gorilla ......"

"I can hear you in a small voice, Olaaaaa!!"

"Gyaaa

 

The boy disappears into the depths of the forest with the sound of another crash.

If I got any closer, I would be sure that Rose, the leader of the rescue team, would feel me, so I could only go to see it from a distance, but it was certain that something lukewarm was happening in the usual expression of being oppressed.

 

"But no."

 

But he's not so much oppressed as he ...... I was a little scared because the person who was being beaten was also angry and bravely going to rebel.

Is it a long time ago that the Kingdom of Lingle was a peaceful country?

That was the only thing that left me wondering normally.

 

「…… You don't have to do anything for me to go on."

 

Even if I don't do anything, the trials left by Hisago will be solved by the people of that era.

As soon as I realized that what I was trying to do was in vain, everything started to look stupid.

 

"I was a clown, after all."

 

I wasn't told by Hisago or anyone, it was a mission that I took on my own shoulders.

Was it so useless that something that had become so big that it could not be put down by one's own will?

When I realized that, I started laughing and wanted to cry.
