Finally, the turmoil at the ruins is over.

Kira is safe and was able to stop Kannagi.

This time the uproar was very difficult.

 

"Kannagi ......"

 

After breaking the assimilation with Ferm and Amako, I lay her down in a nearby place.

The hero's sword sucked something out of her and sealed it.

It looked like a black aura similar to that of an evil dragon, but I don't know what it is at the moment.

…… First of all, it's a matter of whether Kannagi will wake up like this.

 

"The sword of the brave has also turned black."

 

Nea shows me the sword and scabbard of the hero that she brought with her, wrapped in cloth.

The sword of a hero who has been dyed so black that there is no shadow to see.

He asks Nea to take it, and then calls out to the demon duo who are now turning their backs on us and trying to leave.

　

"Koga, I have a lot of questions for you."

"Alright, let's go home! Ciel!!"

"Hey! I'm hungry!"

"Ferm, Nea, Capture"

 

Koga tries to run, but Ferm's black magic and Nea's restraint spell catch him.

What are you casually trying to leave?

In order not to be able to escape by force, Koga was tied up with many layers of black magic and further restrained spells.

 

"Come on, Usato, is that okay with beating me when I'm injured?"

「……? As long as you're unharmed in the end, it's okay, right?"

「…… Huh, Ciel. Look, this is a healing wizard. He's a horrible guy."

"What scares me is how stupid you are!!"

 

Mr./Ms. Ciel, who is not tied up but is seated next to him, is pulling back and has tears in his eyes.

 

"Wow, please save my life! I'll give you as much as you want!!"

"Hey, wait!! Why are you trying to sacrifice me!"

"Speaking of the original, isn't it your fault?!"

 

- She argues with Koga as it is, and we are poisoned.

Koga aside, based on Mr./Ms.'s words and actions so far, is he a non-combatant who has some kind of connection with the Demon Lord?

 

"Mr./Ms. Leona, what are you going to do?"

"If this continues, our information will be transmitted to the other side...... Would you like to ice it here?"

"In terms of whether it is or not...... It's an ant."

 

I really don't know what to do.

He's the commander of the Demon King's Second Corps, but he's been strangely involved, so he can't be ruthless.

Ciel Mr./Ms. a non-combatant, so .......

 

"No, wait, I think there's something we need to talk about sooner rather than that."

"Eh, senior, is there anything else you're worried about?"

"It's you!"

 

We tilt our heads at the senior who pointed at us.

 

"You've assimilated Amako and Nea, haven't you?! And on top of that, you wore Kira's magic on top of that!?"

"Oh, it seems that Ferm assimilated the two of them with me."

"Wow, I'm that...... My magic started working on its own......

 

Wearing a cloak made of dark magic, Kira is warm.

As for me, the assimilation between Amako and Nea was unexpected, so I can understand this reaction of my seniors.

 

"I want to assimilate with you!"

"You're too desperate, Suzune......"

 

Amako is stunned by the seniors who come closer.

Collaboration with seniors?

Being able to combine healing magic and electric magic may be a strength, but considering the current strength, it's .......

 

"No, I think seniors are stronger when they fight alone."

"I was refused rather seriously!?"

"In the first place, it seems that there are various conditions for assimilating with Ferm."

 

I don't know exactly.

But I've heard that you can only assimilate up to two people, not including Ferm and me.

 

"You can't assimilate anyone, you can't assimilate unless you're someone I approve of to a certain extent."

"Huh, then I'll be fine."

 

For some reason, he was full of confidence, but Ferm blatantly blushed.

 

"No, I can't."

"Why!?"

"Because you're not good at it."

"Guha!?"

 

Seniors who are normally rejected and damaged.

yes, well, it's kind of like the skinship has passed.

Then, Koga, who is still tied up, starts laughing with a spatula.

 

"Hahaha, it looks like your performance is going to change depending on how you feel about someone you can assimilate, you're a really easy guy to understand."

"Usato, I'm going to bury this guy from the neck down in the ground and then expose the top."

 

Ferm, who pointed at Koga with no expression on his face, said such a noisy thing.

He seems to have a tolerance for agitation, but he seems to be irritated.

…… Do you bury it in the ground from the neck down?

 

「……」

"Oh, dude, that's really me, isn't it? You're not going to do anything that bad, are you?"

 

Finally, he wonders what to do with Koga and Mr./Ms. Ciel.

It's time to come to a conclusion and take Kira to Mr./Ms. Gref, who is worried.

As for Kannagi,

 

"'———!'"

 

At that time, chills rushed through my whole body, as if cold water had been poured on me without warning.

 

"What's this feeling......

 

Something that everyone in the room felt, perhaps.

Something is approaching the place where we are.

When I turned my attention to the direction where I felt the sign, there was a passage that connected somewhere, and I heard the sound of someone walking from the end of it.

 

"——— this is going to be a lot of fun."

 

A man of the demon tribe appeared.

His silver hair is swept back, and he is well over two meters tall.

The man, who was not an ordinary demon tribe, wore an atmosphere, and a presence that seemed to be overwhelmed just by being there, twisted the corner of his mouth slightly when he saw us.

 

"Are you a brave man?"

"Devil...... Wang ......"

　

I don't know who muttered it.

We were in such a tense situation.

However, when he realizes that the person in front of him is the Demon Lord, the last enemy that Senpai and Kazuki have been destined to fight, he shifts to a fighting stance.

 

"I didn't expect it to come out at this time......!"

"Demon Lord......!"

 

Senpai puts his hand on the hilt of his sword and begins to wear electric shocks, and Kazuki lifts a magic bullet from his gauntlet.

The two of them take the lead.

I don't feel comfortable from his appearance.

Naturally. I'm confused by this situation.

The uproar should have finally ended, but I didn't expect the Demon King to appear here.

 

"I thought it was coming...... Have you been to this ruin?"

 

The demon king walks into the hall as it is, not caring about us showing his vigilance.

He looked around the hall and saw Koga and Ciel Mr./Ms. being caught, and gave a small smile.

 

"Are you alright, Ciel?"

"Well, Demon Lord...... If you're going to come from yourself, do it from the beginning......

"It looks like you've seen something interesting."

 

When the Demon King holds out his palm forward, some magic-like pattern is activated in succession.

Just as he was about to make a move, Koga's restraints that had been captured nearby were destroyed, and Mr./Ms. Ciel, who was supposed to be next to him, was being held by the Demon King in his arms.

 

"Hey, hold the terrifying princess!?"

"Hey...... Hah, that's okay."

 

- She screams, and the demon king looks dumbfounded.

It's witchcraft now...... Is it?

Even so, it's too early.

Koga, who has escaped from his restraints, distances himself from us, but ignores us.

Now is not the time to be on Koga.

 

"Five armors and three heroes, you seem to have a lot of power."

「…… Whew!"

"Are you going to fight? With me in a state of exhaustion?"

 

The Demon King sneers at Kazuki when he tries to activate his magic.

To be honest, my magic power is almost empty after a series of battles.

I'm so drowsy right now, and I'm so tired that I want to collapse right now.

Even if everything seems to be fine, Senpai and Kazuki should be exhausted. Leona Mr./Ms. is the one who can fight the most, but even if she fights alone, we will be left behind.

 

"It's the site of a decisive battle in the past, and it's fun to fight you guys here, but let's look forward to it for the future."

"Are you going to miss us......?"

"I just have more priorities than fighting you, and—"

 

The Demon King's gaze turns to him.

What? Are you looking at me...... Why?

 

"Even if you fight now, it's boring."

 

The Demon King mutters and tries to activate some kind of magic while holding Mr./Ms..

I know there's no hostility, but I still can't help but be on my guard.

 

"What, are you going? Demon King"

「!」

 

A voice came from behind me, and before I could turn around, a hand was put around my shoulder.

Kannagi, a fox beastman who walked out from behind me, undid the bandage on his left eye and walked in front of the Demon King.

 

"Hey, you've woken up! Kannagi Mr./Ms.!"

"Thank you for believing in me, Usato, you were able to help me again."

 

If you were able to help, did you also save Kannagi?

But the way he speaks is Kannagi Mr./Ms.'s.

 

"You...... Which one is it?"

"Both, I'll talk about the situation later, so let's focus on the Demon King for now."

 

As she said this, she turned to see that her left eye had turned purple.

Smiling softly, she takes the hero's sword, which has been transformed from a nair into a black sword, and confronts the Demon King.

 

"It's been a long time, should I say? Kannagi"

"You've become much weaker, Demon Lord, I can't even see a shadow of you."

"You've changed, too, have you mixed your soul? It looks like you've done a lot of crazy things."

 

Mr./Ms. Kannagi, whose tone changed slightly sharply when dealing with the Demon King, watches the situation with surprise.

 

"Well, I didn't know that you were sealed in this place where I was sealed."

"I'm so upset that I'm with you."

"I miss that swearing now."

 

Kannagi Mr./Ms. wears a piercing atmosphere, and the Demon King parries it with a cool look.

Mr./Ms. Ciel in his arms is shaking with a face that looks like he's about to vomit, but is he okay? Regardless of the enemy, that position looks bad for the heart.

 

"Hisago is...... What did that idiot do at the end?"

"I don't know, well...... I think it's exactly what you imagined."

「…… I see."

 

Kannagi replied as if trying to stifle his emotions.

The Demon King seems to have changed his mind and turns his palm towards Kannagi.

 

"Hero aside, your appearance is unexpected even for me, shall I kill you now?"

「…… What are you going to do?"

 

The demon king with his palm pointed at him wears a strange atmosphere.

Along with this, the pressure is released from Kannagi Mr./Ms., who pushes up the blade of the sword with his thumb and peeks out the black blade.

It was clearly different from the Kannagi I fought.

The real Kannagi Mr./Ms.'s own power, backed by actual battles and training, not reproduced from memory, made me feel something close to Rose and Nero.

 

"Huh...... No, let's not do it. I'm not here to fight."

「…… It's not like I used to be."

"I'm aware of it."

 

The Demon King, who drowned out the magic in his palm, looked down at Mr./Ms. Ciel who was holding him.

 

"Ciel, I'm leaving."

"Ha, ha!"

 

A white vortex appears in front of the Demon King.

Using the same magic of transference that Kannagi used, he calls out to Koga just before stepping into the vortex.

 

"Koga, you must come back with the outsiders."

"Hey, see you then, Usato."

 

He waved his palm at me and went upstairs through the hole in the ceiling.

Seeing that Koga had left, the Demon King turned his gaze back to us.

 

"I will wait for you in my castle."

「「「!?」」」

"If you want to beat me, come here, and of course I'll intercept you."

 

With those words, the Demon King stepped into the white vortex and disappeared from the spot.

An unpleasant silence reigns in the room.

The Demon King was distracted by our existence, but we were finally able to see the Demon King in his form.

 

「…… You're a terrible opponent, Demon Lord."

 

Finally, the senior muttered, but no one answered, although there was a nod in his voice.

His charisma is so charismatic that even we, his enemies, are drawn in.

And the confidence that can be felt from the end of the word.

Since he has manipulated multiple spells effortlessly, he may be even more adept at handling magic than Nea.

 

"Hah, I'm glad you're back."

 

Meanwhile, Mr./Ms. Kannagi sat on the floor with relief.

Leaving the Demon King behind, first of all, it's Mr./Ms. Kannagi who woke up earlier.

 

"Mr./Ms., are you okay?"

"Well, it's okay...... Anyway, I'm glad you left like that. Honestly, I'm so strong that I can't even be weak...... He's the one."

 

He holds out his hand to her, muttering tiredly.

She took my hand and stood up, and Nea, who was nearby, spoke to her.

 

"And what happened to the two souls inside you? What did you seal on the sword?"

"Should I say that it is a part of the soul contaminated by the evil dragon? I took it into my soul, then I cut it out and sealed it."

「…… Did you ever separate your soul from yourself and merge it with the soul of another self? What a ridiculous ......."

"Aha......"

 

Nea pulls a don at Kannagi Mr./Ms., who laughs like he's in trouble.

Then she turns her body towards me.

Blue and purple, eyes of different colors on the left and right.

 

"There's no more fakes or reals, I'm Kannagi now."

"Do you remember them all? You know, when you fought me."

"yes, it's all solid."

 

Suddenly, Mr./Ms. Kannagi turns her gaze to Kira, who is behind me.

She looked at Keira, who looked a little frightened, and bowed her head apologetically.

 

"I'm sorry, Keira, I put you in danger for my own selfish reasons."

「…… I was very scared, but I forgive you. I've finally been able to face my magic, too......

"You're strong, aren't you?"

 

With a gentle smile on her face, she stands up.

Then, he notices that his senior is talking to Mr./Ms..

 

"Leona, it's time to get out of the ruins."

"Well, I can't stay here forever. Lord Kannagi is coming, isn't he?"

"Of course, because I'm free from this ruin."

 

For the time being, escape from the ruins.

The thought of finally being able to see the scenery outside makes my heart lighter.

Mr./Ms. Kannagi, who knows the structure of the ruins, is heading to the exit under the guidance

 

"Usato, it's okay with me Nagi."

"What?"

"That's what the guy who named me Kannagi called, and I don't need honorifics. I don't think it's going to be that different this year."

 

Is the person who named it the previous hero......?

I had the impression that he was a superior person, so I used to speak with honorific language, but if he said he was good, I would call him that.

It's rude not to call them.

 

"Well, thank you again...... Nagi ...... Mr./Ms.."

「…… Yes. Regards. Usato"

 

Ka nods nostalgically with a smile on his face...... Mr./Ms. Nagi.

Just as she was about to start walking, she suddenly and without warning, she hugged me.

 

"What?"

 

For some reason, even Mr./Ms. Nagi is surprised.

His companions, who were walking behind him, also had a stunned voice.

　……。

What's going on?

As I freeze in a familiar situation, an expressionless Amako walks up to me.

 

"Kannagi, what are you doing?" Hey, what are you doing?"

"No, no, it's not, Amako. Because it's different! Because it's different! It's never my intention! …… Whew."

"No, just go away, why are you calm?"

"Huh!? Calm down, and ...... the other me!"

 

- She is pointed out by Ferm, who seems to be stunned, and tries to leave, but the arm that grabs me does not move like a vise.

Or rather, it is painful to be unusually powerful.

In addition, I think I'm about to run out of magic and pass out.

As my vision gradually became hollow, something black jumped on the face of Mr./Ms. Nagi, who was still hugging me.

 

"Buho"

"Ahh I'm sorry, I'm sorry!! Well, my magic is working on its own again!!"

 

Kira's face turns blue and she panics.

Contrary to her will, the cloak belligerently attaches itself to Mr./Ms.'s head.

Even after the battle was over, I was confronted with a scene that was too chaotic, and I lost consciousness as it was.

Then, an encounter with a demon lord with light footwork.
