chapter 17
Right now, there was a demon king right in front of me.
His long silver hair fluttered with every run, and he was riding the mountain with light steps that made him so excited.
She was holding my hand and leading me, but I did not let go of my vigilance.
No matter how much she behaves like a child and looks like a beauty who seems powerless to lift a sword, she was the one who once ruled this continent.
Guessing the unforeseen circumstances, I swung the scabbard around my waist again and again.
“Where can I go?”
Instead of answering the question of the demon king who was riding the mountain while holding my hand, I looked down at the mountain.
A small village could be seen below the hillside.
Looking around, the sunlight was hidden in the shade of the trees, and only the calm wind passed through the bushes.
There was no feeling of popularity around.
Since we’ve fallen this far from the town, no matter what happens, there will be no damage.
With that in mind, I let go of her hand, and she turned around and asked bluntly.
“Why do you suddenly let go?”
“Because it has arrived.”
“Oh, is that so?”
At my words, she looked around. But no matter how much she looked around, there was nothing.
“Is there nothing?”
“Originally, if you want to fight, there should be no obstacles. That’s why I came here.”
“Aha.”
She grinned as if she had attained a great realization.
I don’t know anything else, but I think my mental age has definitely gone down. No, did you even understand what I was saying in the first place?
“By the way, Demon Lord, to you…”
“Lucia! Hero, you are a human being I have recognized, so you can call me specially.”
“······okay. Lucia.”
After hearing my answer, no, Lucia nodded her head in satisfaction.
For now, it would be better to match the stomach as much as possible.
Actually, I sealed Lucia, but I know very little about her.
Humanity’s information about her was very weak, and even as a reader, the author mostly developed events from a raw point of view.
Thanks to her, even after being possessed, I barely had any information about her. At best, how terrified mankind is of her.
“Lucia.”
“yes?”
She answered all my words. And then wait patiently.
Something like this looks like a cute loyal dog. If I do well, I might become a good ally with Serin.
But he quickly shook his head.
To use the Demon King as a public good for the village. It can’t even be used as a joke.
I looked at her and thought.
The secret of why the seal was released. It’s also a secret how you got here and found it.
Right now, there are a lot of strange things I’m curious about, but fortunately she didn’t seem to harbor any hostility toward me.
Fighting isn’t revenge that seals you up, it’s like you genuinely want to compete with me.
If you are careful, you may be able to get out of this situation.
After thinking that far, I took a deep breath.
“I want to ask you something. Can you answer me?”
“Eh. In addition?”
“This is all for you, Lucia. If there’s anything I’m worried about, I can only pay half of what I’ve been able to do.”
I continued with a cowardly voice, like giving candy to a crying child.
“Then I won’t be able to reproduce the battle you and I had together that day, are you okay?”
“I don’t like that…”
“right. Because you broke the seal and came all the way here to fight me.”
Hearing my words, she reluctantly put on a persuasive expression.
“But I don’t like being bored. Can you finish it quickly?”
“Don’t worry. It will be over soon.”
Fortunately, I agreed to it sooner than I thought.
I quickly asked the question before she changed her mind.
“How is the current Demon King?”
Obviously, on the day Lucia was sealed, I remember that the executives were also scattered.
If there is a force that has unlocked her seal, it would be right to think of it as those guys.
I don’t have any other ones that I can think of. Therefore, this question was very important to guide future plans.
The question is, will she be able to answer the question?
It doesn’t make any sense for me, who was a hero to begin with, to ask the Demon King such a thing. That guy isn’t stupid.
While waiting impatiently for whether I was asking too blatantly, she pondered for a moment before opening her mouth.
“Umm… I don’t know.”
“Yes, huh?”
uh? you answered Are you a fool?
No, shouldn’t you know more than that? If you don’t know in the first place, who knows?
Confused, I quickly changed the question.
“Didn’t the demon lords break your seal?”
“yes. no.”
“Then who was by your side when you broke the seal?”
“That’s Grandpa.”
“If it’s a grandfather…”
Is it Kush?
The only executive who stood by her side even when she was sealed. I remember that he was portrayed as a loyalist of the Demon King in the original.
At that time, I didn’t have the strength to lift it up, and I thought that it would do nothing, so I left it alone, but maybe that person unlocked her seal.
damn it. At that time, I had to have it pulled out from the hair to the spine.
“Then he broke your seal? And he was the one who showed me where I was.”
“yes? not really.”
“Oh, isn’t this too?”
Seriously, if you think about it, there is no way that the seal of the holy sword can be so lax that only one executive can unlock it.
If that had been the case, the original story wouldn’t have ended with the Demon King’s Seal.
By the way, he spit out everyone who asked him. It doesn’t seem like he’s lying at all.
OK, so let’s move on to the next question-
“I am bored. How long do I have to do this?”
As I was about to ask the next question, I paused.
In her eyes, dissatisfaction and boredom coexisted.
No, how long has it been since you started asking questions?
“not there yet?”
“no. It’s almost over, so don’t show it too much.”
“I never saw it. I was just asking.”
Lucia grunted as if offended. Were you talking about losing strength in both fists?
There are still many questions to be asked, but considering her current state, this will almost be her last question.
As the mental age is lowered, it seems like it will blow a lot of stuff if you think about it well, but you can’t predict what you’re going to do.
I asked the last question that I had decided a lot in advance.
“Lucia.”
“yes.”
You’re good enough for one answer.
“By the way, where is the great sword that is your weapon now? I don’t think you have.”
“Well. Grandpa said it was taken by humans?”
“Right.”
Fortunately, the trouble of explaining at length was saved.
“great. My question ends here.”
She heard me and her eyes twinkled as if she had finally met Santa.
“Yes. Now······.”
“Lucia.”
“yes?”
But after shaking my head with a sad face, I spoke in a more subdued voice.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t fight you.”
“······why?”
Hearing my words, her mouth slowly opened and her pupils opened.
On the eve of Christmas, he had a face that denied the world like a child who heard Santa’s secret.
And as much as the shock she had received, the life that spewed out swept the entire forest.
Thanks to this, the screams of the pet animals that had built their home in the forest resounded everywhere.
Get food.
hey hey hey!
Birds flapped their wings and desperately escaped, and the howling of wild boars was heard everywhere.
But in the midst of the commotion, her eyes were all looking up at me.
“why? Why can’t you fight?”
“that······.”
“How long have I waited for this day to come? weren’t you Am I the only one who thought so? Was that day just a joke to you?”
No, listen to people.
And where the hell did you learn that line?
“Calm down and listen. It’s all for a reason.”
“no. done. I don’t need it all. Now I will do it my way.”
Having said that, Lucia took one step closer to me.
She clenched her hands in her arms and took a stance to slap my stomach right away.
I pointed to her hand coldly before my stomach ruptured.
“Yeah, that hand!”
“······yes? my hand?”
She looked into her hand at my words.
But all he could see was a white hand that wasn’t particularly strange.
“Is there nothing?”
“okay. Now your hand is holding nothing. Okay? Lucia.”
“no!”
She proudly opened her chest and asked me for an explanation.
······· After all, no matter how you look at it, this seems to be her original personality. What did you see at the Demon Castle, was it a midsummer night’s dream?
Then it would be the right thing to explain it at her eye level.
“Lucia. How did you feel when I asked you?”
“It was boring. Still, I persevered.”
“It’s great. Then what was the reason for being so patient?”
“Yeah… a hero in the best condition, to fight you.”
“right. You remembered it well.”
At her words, I applauded and nodded.
Ahem smiled as if she was proud of my excessive reaction.
“I have the same heart as you, Lucia. I want to fight when you are at your best.”
“Then we can fight. I feel great right now!”
“I see. But unlike me, you don’t have a weapon right now.”
“yes.”
“ah······.”
so what is that Her eyes were saying so.
I managed to swallow the sigh that rose to my throat at her reaction.
Ah, he’s the type of person who has to help him eat and swallow with a spoon when talking.
I coughed and explained step by step.
“Hmm. Think carefully. That day when we had such a fun fight.”
“······yes. I thought!”
“Then you had that weapon in your hand. But what do you have in your hand now?”
“Nothing.”
“right.”
I clapped my hands and spoke quickly.
“The reason we were able to have such a duel that day was because you fought with that sword. Staying in top shape also includes having a ripe weapon in your hand. But now, Lucia, you…”
“You don’t have a sword!”
“okay. Also Lucia. You understand one, not ten.”
“Aha. I understand.”
As she attained enlightenment, her life softened.
It seems that I understand.
thank god. Then you wouldn’t have anything to say if I asked you where you sold the holy sword.
“But I don’t have it right now… can’t we just fight?”
She looked me in the eye and glanced up at me, but it didn’t work.
Because putting on such a pitiful expression doesn’t change the fact that you are the strongest in this worldview.
“don’t worry. I know where the sword is now.”
“Uh, is that so?”
“Sure. So instead of telling me, you’re going to find the sword. And you fight me again.”
“yes. great!”
At my words, she ran around and liked it.
Yes, I like you because I like you.
Aurelia I was wondering how to f*ck that bitch. That bastard, Lowe, who made Aerith’s arm to that point, should also have the same experience.
No matter which side wins or lags, it is a business that has nothing to lose to me.
After that, I kindly informed Lucia, who was shaking her body, one by one.
The fact that a bitch in your Black Empire stole it now.
