Thank you everyone, I'm with Solomon [Comprehensive]

Although it is said that he already has a clear goal, but before he actually went to the "final land", he went to another place.

Only for him, the most important thing - that world.

Been there a few times before.Perhaps it was because of the timidity and fear that still existed in his heart, and every time he came here in a hurry, and then left in a hurry.

As a human being who has actually been defined as "destruction", he does not want to see the chief culprit who destroys "him".

However, it still came.

"Don't look at me like Solomon. Demon King, I want to talk to the real you."

In front of him was the only high-level life left on this planet. He clenched his fists and tried hard to keep his expression from being too distorted.

Before coming, he thought about what the other party would say to him.

Maybe it will be ironic, maybe it will be ridiculed, maybe it will simply be a disregard for him as if he doesn't exist... But, I didn't expect it to be like this.

"—Hasn't disappeared yet?"

In the Temple of Time, in front of the throne, the "man" standing alone looked back, and the first thing he said in a calm tone was these words.

He didn't seem to hear the remaining voice of human reason at all.In other words, in his eyes, there is no concept of this young man with white hair mixed with bright red facing him at all.

Of course, giving up the borrowed shell of a certain king according to his words is even more unnecessary, and there is no need for this.

"The traces of human beings will no longer continue. Human reason has no value in existence."

"No, I'm still standing here, that means..."

"You who have no value in existence, why do you still exist?"

calm.

Icy.

After the "man" in front of the throne said this, he looked away and continued to enjoy the peace that only he had.

Of course he can put on such an attitude.

As I said just now, in this world where human beings are completely extinct, even if there is a trace of resentment left by human reason, it will not help and nothing will be changed.

"I……"

"why……"

——Why do I have no value in existence?

This question really poked the deepest wound in his heart.

——Obviously the children are all dead, why can I still stay, linger on until now?

This is the shadow that Cycia has always had.

He left his "home" that should have disappeared along with him, and wandered among different parallel worlds.

He wanted to prevent the same tragedy from happening.

he thinks……

——If I can use my efforts at this time to make up for it and prove that I still have the value of continuing to exist.

——Even if I am just a failed outsider at all times.If, if it could be done... that would be great.

"..."

"..."

"It doesn't matter whether I have the need to continue living or not."

There was an almost dead silence.

Sitting on the throne, the "man" who fixed his eyes into the distance raised his eyelids very imperceptibly.

He finally heard the voice coming from under the throne.

"I came here just to ask you a question."

He thought he was just throwing himself into a trap to die, so "Human Li" didn't need to pay attention to him, so he stared at him with those red eyes.

After obtaining the entity, it becomes the last human "humanity" in this world——

"Tell me, Getia."

"You, who made this decision out of disappointment, actually love humans?"

……

……

"Are you going now? Although I didn't seem to have the position to stop you when we first met, but... well."

"That half of humanity in your body wants to tell you that you really, don't have to do so much for 'us'."

On the way to that place officially, Secia met a strange magician.

As he said, they met for the first time.However, both he and he knew who the other party was.

"Ah, it is true that it can be later, but there is no need."

Secia pretended to smile relaxedly: "If it is a movie that is going to be staged as planned, you and I have seen the script in advance. Then, quietly changing the plot to give the audience a surprise... Wouldn't it be good? ?”

"It's not too much of a scare." The magician who arrived unexpectedly sighed, and seemed to have something to say in his words: "For the vast majority of the audience, this is a great reunion comedy. But for some people... ..."

"It's a complete tragedy. You will be stupid, you will be desperate, and you will be so painful that you can't cry."

"..."

Secia was silent.

Later, when he spoke again, the pretended ease in his voice disappeared, and it became a calm that only made people feel distressed.

"Compared to the ending where all the people survived and only one person was not returned, I prefer...all the people survived and all returned."

"Don't include yourself? After living together for so long, the people of Chaldea will surely cry out when they hear this!"

"That's not what it means." Saisia ​​said softly, and suddenly stopped looking at the magician, but raised her eyes to look forward.

"It's good that they want to protect me, I'm really touched ... But, it's different, they forget."

"Even if I'm accepted by the 'I' of this world, I'm not the one they fought for and guarded all along."

The magician frowned indistinctly, as if he wanted to refute.But he suddenly saw the expression that appeared on the human face of the other world at this time——unexpectedly, it could be called "happiness".

"great."

He said with a smile, delighted from the bottom of his heart.

"It is precisely because I am not the human being they protect that I can feel at ease like now—to protect them."

"... Having said that, I don't seem to have any reason to forcefully stop you."

"Well, thank you, Merlin."

"Thank you, but I don't need it. After all, I didn't do anything except the last nagging. Well... If there is a need to stay, I can help pass it on."

"No, no more."

If you want to stay, probably say it.

Although it was whispered to someone while he was asleep—this level is enough!Never imagine that he will say it face to face.

That's it.

The only farewell person is a magician who specially came from a distant ideal land.

The magician has been staring at the increasingly smaller figure going away and disappearing at the end of the Temple of Time, only barely recovering from the indescribable obscurity.

"Did it turn red again... It seems that I really made up my mind and didn't waver in the slightest."

tread.

tread.

tread.

Walking up the stone steps step by step, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

The demon pillars guarding the throne had long sensed the intruder's approach, but unexpectedly, they were unable to harm the man at all.

No need to be surprised, because the Demon God Pillar is actually a part of "Humanism".

In the middle of the walk, when Solomon's throne could already be seen, Secia stopped for a while.

The headband had already been torn off, and the gust of wind from nowhere blew his long hair, which had turned crimson again, a little bit covering his eyes that were brewing with some emotion.

"Thank you."

This thank you is to another "he".

"I am so tolerant and willing to accept those who broke in without authorization, such a failure... But, there is no need now. It is my turn to repay you."

It's okay, it's what he should do.

Finally found.This is the reason why he is still alive, and it is also the value of his existence that should have disappeared.

The past and reality are mixed and intertwined in the midst of the steps that are taken again.

past--

A dormitory in Chaldea.He sat beside the sleeping man, and after whispering in a low voice, he raised his head and looked at the man's quiet face in the dark.

I have been watching, I have been watching, and I don’t know how long I have been watching.

In short, he lowered his body again, parted the man's bangs, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.

And reality-

Facing the magic king who still borrowed Solomon's body and was shocked when he saw him suddenly coming, the red-haired and red-eyed human incarnation did not show the slightest anger when he saw this "enemy" again.

"I understand. The demon king, Gaetia, who was disappointed with Solomon and human beings, made this decisive decision."

"You love human beings, but the dark nature of human beings can't respond to your sustenance. However, it is the human beings who mix light and dark, always cause disputes, and always go to destruction, that create 'I'."

"I am a collection of desires and hopes that human beings have. So, I don't want to disappear, I don't want to end my life. I want to live, I want to eat more strawberry cake, and I want to watch my favorite movie ..."

"but."

"If it is, for the people I love. Remove the part of the desire that you have seen in your eyes, the rest, the most important hope..."

Renli smiled and stretched out his hand to the Demon God King.

"Then, let me show you with my disappearance."

"Just one thing, restore your original appearance. Use this body to leave with me... no."

*****

Perhaps, amidst the love and selflessness displayed by human beings, there is still a trace of... a little selfishness secretly hidden.

——I have a clairvoyance that can see into the future, and now I have it too.

——Don't be sentimental!It's just, just because, among the 'people' I want to protect... just happen to be an idiot like you.
