Then it was hard.

Through the Demon King's magic, all the demons in the city were informed that he had conceded defeat.

Normally, it would have been a big mess, but as expected, the Demon King calmed it down with his amazing skills and storytelling, and talked about the future of the Demon King's army--no, the policy of the Demon Tribe.

Accordingly, we went up to the ground with the Demon King.

Kazuki, who has regained consciousness, lends me a shoulder, and the senpai, who is tied up by magic and cannot move, is placed on Bulllin's back like a laundry while being lifted by Nea.

Leona Mr./Ms., Ferm, and Amako are all there.

In addition to that, there are also Amira and Koga, who follow the Demon Lord.

…… Even if you don't think about it again, it's a great situation, ......!

The gaze of the demon tribes that gathered.

Gathering glances that could be interpreted as both fear and anger, the demon lord suddenly pushed me to pat me on the back.

He was about to defeat Kazuki, and when he looked forward while glaring at the Demon Lord, the eyes of the Demon Tribe's soldiers gathered.

 

"I have decided to entrust the future of us, the Demon Tribe, to this human. …… The healing wizard who beat me up, rightdevil・・It was so strong, wasn't it?"

 

Needless to say, at this time, the Demon Tribe's perception of me was determined.

The demon lord laughs happily with me holding my head at the demon tribes that show a big rustle.

Anyway, as he is about to headbutt Koga, who is bursting out laughing behind him, he notices two figures running at breakneck speed over the building.

When the shadow landed in front of us, one of them rushed to me and the other to the Demon King.

 

"Is everyone safe?!"

"Mr./Ms. Nagi!"

 

The person who came down in front of me was Mr./Ms. Nagi.

Perhaps he had been fighting a fierce battle earlier, and the clothes he was wearing were dirty in some places, and although there were slashes, he did not seem to have any major injuries.

She patted her chest in relief as she looked at us one by one.

 

"I heard that the battle was over, but what is this...... The Demon King is still alive, too......

 

If you look towards the Demon King, you will see a man standing in front of him.

Nero Argens.

The demon swordsman who was stopping Mr./Ms. Nagi quietly called out to the Demon King.

 

「…… Demon Lord."

"Oh, I was beaten so spectacularly, and with my bare hands."

 

Nero glances at him, and then smiles after a look of surprise.

 

"Is this ending also fate?"

 

He picks up the scabbard sword at his waist.

We braced ourselves for it, but he threw it to the ground.

Without even glancing at the sword that fell to the ground, Nero kneels to the Demon King.

 

"I will obey your words, always and always will be."

"Indeed, you are very well-mannered...... I don't know what's going to happen, will it?"

"We've both been hurt by the healing wizard, it's too late."

"Ha, sure."

 

Nero, the strongest swordsman of the Demon Tribe, gave up his weapon.

The soldiers, who understood the meaning of this, dropped the weapons in their hands to the ground as if giving up.

 

"Did you end the battle with the Demon King alive?"

"Yes...... It's going to be tough from now on."

 

Still skeptical, she looks at the Demon Lord.

 

"Demon Lord, you're not lying, are you?"

"I don't think they're going to cheat at this point."

「……」

"I was defeated by the healing wizard there, not to a hero, but to a mere mortal. You know what that means, don't you?"

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi turns around.

After a moment of silence, her shoulders shook and she jumped at him with tremendous force.

Even if it is said to be a tackle, it is no longer worth it, but it is accepted with surprise.

At that moment, my torso tightens with overwhelming force.

 

"You guys ......! You're a Hisago, beyond the expectations of that incomprehensible man!"

"Oh, yes, that's right......!"

"It's amazing! How dare you end the battle without killing the Demon King!"

 

Rose-like power...... Whew!

I know I'm happy, but I'm afraid I'll be put off in my current tired state.

The whole body is lifted and spun around.

The joy made her reluctant to untie her arms, so as she left it as it was, Amako spoke to Mr./Ms. Nagi.

 

"Kannagi, Usato is going to pass out, so it's time to leave."

"Oh...... Oh, I'm sorry! …… Ugh, who's a monstrous idiot?"

 

As she was released and adjusting her breathing, Mr./Ms. Nagi was muttering to herself.

Perhaps the other Mr./Ms. Nagi is saying something, but it's better not to mention it too much.

He is also remorseful.

 

"Damn, as long as you can move the body...... I ...... that I can compete with Kannagi! Even the body!"

"Nea, even if you break the spell, you can still use the spell of restraint."

"Are you too strict with Suzune?"

"Bodied......!"

 

Nea and Ferm are looking down at their seniors who are sneering at Bulllin.

It seems that the seniors will still have a long way to go to return.

 

"Ha, haha, senpai seems to be fine."

"Kazuki, I'm sorry, I'll lend you a shoulder."

"Thank you, Usato...... But the problem comes after this."

"yes, that's right."

 

Once again, he lends Kazuki a shoulder and talks to Mr./Ms. Leona.

I was able to join Mr./Ms. Nagi, so let's talk to Mr./Ms. about what to do in the future.

 

"Mr./Ms., the battle itself is over, but what should we do now?"

"Even if the battle is over, this is still enemy territory, and even if the Demon King admits defeat, he should not stay long because of the risk of being attacked."

 

Fortunately, everyone except the seniors are just tired.

But the problem here is that we all go home together.

Perhaps he was thinking the same thing as me, but the senior, who had been noisy until now, opened his mouth with only his face facing me.

 

"I'm not saying I don't trust the Demon Lord at this point, but I need someone to keep an eye on me."

"Do you want me to stay?"

"Seriously, are you left!?"

 

Koga's joyful voice made me not want to stay all at once.

I sigh that if I stay, I'm sure I'll be attacked by this guy.

I think I'm the right person for the fact that I fought the Demon King until the end, and that I was able to get well quickly with my healing magic.

 

"No, I'll stay."

"Mr./Ms. Nagi?"

"I have clairvoyant magic, so I can react quickly to unforeseen situations. …… And besides."

 

Mr./Ms. Nagi glances sideways at the Demon King.

His gaze remains sharp.

 

"——I have something to talk to the Demon Lord."

「…… I get it."

 

Certainly, Mr./Ms. Nagi is the right person for the job.

Besides, he seems to want to talk to the Demon King about something, so there is no reason to stop.

But-,

 

"I want Mr./Ms. Nagi to come to the Ringle Kingdom in this era, so I will try to get back as soon as possible."

"Hmm, why?"

"I want Mr./Ms. Nagi to come to the Ringle Kingdom this time."

「…… Hmm? This time?"

 

In the end, Hisago Mr./Ms. and Nagi Mr./Ms. never headed to the Ringle Kingdom.

Although the times are different, the Ringle Kingdom we know is a peaceful country.

Hisago Mr./Ms. is not there, but I would like Nagi Mr./Ms. to at least come to the Ringle Kingdom.

Smiling wryly at Mr./Ms. Nagi, who tilts his head, he faces the Demon King.

We've beaten each other so many times, we're both battered, but we're still standing alive.

That fact alone is the best outcome of this battle.

 

"Mr./Ms. Nagi will remain here."

"Of course, if I didn't have a lookout, I would have had to tell you."

 

He smiles wryly at the Demon King's words.

There will be a pretense on the Demon Lord's side as well.

If you leave here without leaving anyone behind, you may be warned by the Ringle Kingdom and other countries.

 

"We will probably see each other again in the not too distant future."

"Yes, I suppose so."

"If you do as you say to me, your actions will be responsible, so keep that in mind."

「…… Yes."

 

Nodding, the Demon King flicked his palm, creating something like a white vortex.

At the end of the white vortex, you can see a familiar forest and chopped trees.

The place where we were first attacked by Nero -- we recognize it and look at the Demon King.

 

"If you go through here, you can get out of the city, and you can connect to the outside of the Demon Lord's Domain, but you don't have any magical power. Bear with this."

"No, I'm used to walking."

 

I've walked the whole journey to get to this point, and I've walked the whole way to get here.

There were no shortcuts, and that's why I was able to walk straight to my destination.

It's no different on the way back.

 

"Finally, I'll give it to you."

 

Then the Demon King pulls out a scroll in his palm.

It was a scroll that was shown to us before the battle and described the return to the original world technique that was prepared for Mr./Ms. Hisago.

The Demon King hands it to me.

 

"It was real, wasn't it?"

"Did you think I was going to give you a scumbag? …… Give it to Farga, and we can adjust it so that we can return you to your original world and era."

"But this is the previous hero...... It was prepared for Mr./Ms.."

 

At the sound of Kazuki's voice, the Demon Lord nodded.

 

"It's certainly prepared for him, and this scroll also contains information about the world and time that Hisago was in. But if you put it back on a blank sheet of paper and inscribe your information anew, the scrolling will work."

"Information?"

"It's not something tangible, but if I had to say it, it would be a smell. That's the coordinates for you."

 

…… To be honest, I'm not sure, but it seems to be true that I might be able to return to the original world with this.

I see it in my hand and close my eyes.

What moves to the back of your mind is the "regret" that you left behind in the original world

I think of all of that and look up.

 

"I don't need it."

「…… Is your resolve unwavering?"

"It's already decided, and if it's going to be used, it won't be me."

 

Put the scroll in the uniform.

Kazuki, who is supporting him on his shoulders, has a difficult expression on his face, but this is for Kazuki to decide.

I shouldn't speak badly.

Besides, if Kazuki or SenpaiThat kind of・・・If he asks me, I'm sure I'll want him to stay.

So I don't have anything to say to them.

 

"Then go and go."

"Yes, I'll see you later."

 

After exchanging these words, I turned back to Mr./Ms. Nagi.

 

"I'll take care of the rest."

"I've been entrusted with it, and you should do your best."

「…… Yes."

 

As it is, I step into the white vortex while supporting Kazuki.

In an instant, we moved away from the city where the demons were, and we turned back to the city.

 

"It's over."

"Yes."

 

He nods at Kazuki's muttering.

As soon as I realized this, my body gave off the strength and I sat down on the spot.

Everyone seems to be the same, and fatigue comes over them as if a taut thread has been broken.

 

"I'm tired."

"I don't want to use clairvoyant magic for the time being."

"Hahahaha, it looks like I was pretty exhausted from the fight with Armira, I got hot ......."

 

Everyone gave it their all.

I need to find a safe place to rest.

 

"Suzune, I'm tired too...... I'm sleepy."

"I haven't been released yet! Oh, I'm already rowing!"

"I've broken the painful spell, so I'm going to have to hold out for about two more hours......

 

Nea, who has transformed into an owl, flies softly and stays on my shoulder.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

 

"Hey, Usato-kun, how long am I going to stay like this?"

「…… If you've come this far, senior, can't you break it with your arm strength? This is what I call a buckie."

"I can't break this!?"

 

Apparently, there's only one more thing to go, and I can't do anything about it.

Amako, who couldn't see her teary-eyed senior, talks to her.

 

"But isn't it okay because you can hug Bulllyn all the time?"

"Ha, that's true! You can legally interact with Burlin!!"

"Grua ......"

"Is that okay, senior?"

 

The wording is too suspicious.

While shrugging his shoulders at the indescribable result, he continued to let Bullin carry his seniors.

 

「……」

 

As you leave, you will see a city with demons.

The city remade by the Demon King will be remade to its original form as soon as his magic returns.

From then on, they live their days tormented by anxiety.

 

"Don't let them do the same thing over and over again."

 

I'm sorry for the war again.

Even after the battle is over, the roots of the evil of both races will remain, but even so, there must be no more wars.

…… First of all, let's rest and rest our bodies before returning to the Lingle Kingdom.

And then there's a lot of work to be done.

Well, I'm sure Rose will be mad at me, but that's unavoidable ......!

Probably the most energetic are the seniors.

 

This is the end of the battle against the Demon King.

After updating a few episodes, I will move on to the next chapter.
