The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

The quasi-hero who sets out to find the Demon King already has a goal in mind.

"It's a pity that the top floor of the clock tower is not open to the public. If you look at the night view from a height, it must be very beautiful."

Once upon a time, the words floated from the sea of ​​memory without too much searching.

But, will she really be there?

Should I go directly to where I want, or should I use "that" first to be safe?

Reckless action may be in vain, and excessive hesitation may easily miss opportunities.Therefore, if you don't want to regret it too late, you can only make a choice calmly and decisively.

"At times like this, I really hope to be blessed by someone."

Muttering helplessly in her mouth, Giulia has already made up her mind.

Come on, then--

When she finally reached the top floor of the clock tower, Giulia was already out of breath.It is only at this time that she regrets that she does not love sports.

"It's open."

The door that was locked and inaccessible when I came here before is now slightly opened a small crack.

There was no time for her to hesitate too much, so Giulia just took a breath before pushing open the door and rushing up the last flight of stairs.

On the top floor of the entire clock tower, in the center of the gorgeous floor tiles, in the twilight of the setting sun, Shirpasha stood there quietly, as if looking at an unknown distance.

"Really, it's very beautiful." As if knowing Giulia's arrival, Shirpasha spoke first, "Although it's not a night scene."

"Ah."

Giulia agreed dryly.

Then, at dusk, the top floor of the bell tower returned to silence.

I always feel that there is an atmosphere that is difficult to speak, but if you hesitate here, nothing can be changed.

and so--

"Tifa, why... why did you do such a thing?"

Giulia tried her best to make her trembling voice sound more stable.

"...Does this kind of thing mean a hasty farewell?" Shirpasha turned her head and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about it, but a more serious and formal farewell... I still do it Not at all."

"Did you... plan to do this from the beginning?"

While asking, Giulia couldn't help but slightly lowered her head and stared at the floor tiles under her feet to cover up the tears that might not listen to dissuasion at some point, and the toe of her right foot turned slightly halfway as if she was about to crush something lock up.

"Hey, do you know?" After a moment of silence, Shirpasha answered irrelevantly, "'This world, just destroy it'...Sometimes, I also have such thoughts."

"After all, no matter how you put it, I'm still the devil king." Her voice was very soft, with a bit of indescribable loneliness, "The devil king is defeated, and everyone can live happily ever after. This is the best ending."

"I'm the only one who dies."

"Why...why do you say such sad things?" Although tears were already overflowing from her eyes, Giulia looked up at the other party forcefully, "Tifa, you...you want to live, right?"

The black long-haired girl who was stared at by that firm gaze just lowered her eyelids and shook her head silently.

"Idiot! Tifa is a big idiot!" Even though she was crying, Yulia still clenched her fists and poured out her thoughts in a loud voice, "You die alone, so... how can it be the best ending."

"You didn't exist in that ending, did you?" The brave girl just cried in a trembling voice, "Have you considered us...have you considered my feelings?"

"How could I want to see the end of Tifa's death!" Giulia cried out with all her strength, as if she was about to suffocate to death in the next moment, "How can everyone be happy without you."

"What would I do without you?" The girl named Yulia wiped the tears off her cheeks with her hands, almost crying, "So, please..."

Facing all this in silence, the Demon King trembled his fingers, and could only sigh silently in the end.

She shook her head again.

"sorry."

What was uttered was words that symbolized rejection.

"My name is Shirpasha, and I am the source of all sorrow and despair—the source of evil."

The voice was soft, sad and firm.

"Since this is the case, then don't choose to give up!" Giulia desperately wanted to convey the words to those close to her, "If we all work together, we will eventually find a way to truly make everyone happy."

"...Sorry, it's too late."

The Demon King looked at the brave man and smiled apologetically, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Before Giulia understood the meaning of those words, the light lit up one step at a time.

"...!"

She stretched out her hand quickly, but failed to grab even a piece of the sleeve of the person in front of her.He could only cry out in panic and helplessly amidst the ever-increasing light.

"Absolutely, I will never forgive you!"

The girl who said so still had tears in the corners of her eyes.

"……Is it."

The white light dissipated, and the place where Shirpasha was originally standing was empty.

"fair enough."

These were the words that remained in Giulia's ears for the last time that girl who was the Demon Lord.

"How is it possible... How could it be good? I absolutely, absolutely will not agree with this kind of thing."

Even though the other party had disappeared, Giulia continued to speak negatively.

The overly ornate floor tiles concealed the traces of the teleportation circle.Why didn't I find it at first, the center where Shirpasha stood was the center of the entire magic circle.

However, even regretting it is meaningless.

"Still, it has become like this."

Giulia, who squatted down exhaustedly, did not turn her head to look at the vampire who appeared at an unknown time, but only made a sound with the remaining strength.

"...Is it all in your expectation?"

——In this way, what is the meaning of what she did, everything?

"I don't know, even if it's me." The blond vampire sighed, "That's how this world exists."

"...The hero, I was summoned to be defeated by the Demon King, is it true?"

After a while, Giulia, who was hugging her knees, asked.

"Well," the vampire responded, "I didn't lie to you."

"The selection criteria, also...?"

"Ah, I didn't say anything about that before." The vampire looked up at the darkened sky, as if there was still the twilight of not long ago, "Although you and others were not real before defeating the devil king." Brave, but generally speaking, the title of 'brave', in addition to the person who is most likely to defeat the devil, also has the meaning of being the best compatible with the devil."

"What kind of sex is the best, and it's not a blind date..."

Giulia muttered in dissatisfaction.

——And, before that, he completely ignored her cry, left her and ran away, again.

"So, didn't you tell me before?"

"Well," knowing that the other party couldn't see it, the vampire still spread his hands, "It's probably a small gift for the most victimized devil king."

So, I didn't say it before.

Giulia looked up at the pitch-black sky.

"I, in the end...what should I do?"

"What I said is in vain, besides, you are not asking me at all, and you have already made up your mind, right?"

The vampire hooked the corners of his mouth, in his usual mocking tone.

The brave girl nodded silently.

A demon king who wants to sacrifice himself, a brave man who wants to save him.

In the two views, which is just and which is wrong, it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.

Maybe, it's all just capriciousness; maybe, it's all just sticking to your own justice.

Right and wrong, there is no absolute standard of judgment.

but--

Even if it is an unrealistic idea.

Even if it is regardless of the overall situation.

Even so, it's just my opinion.

Even if it's just capricious.

Giulia wants to carry out her will.

till the end.

The author has something to say:

Private schools, so troublesome meow.

It's completely different from what you said, meow!

It's only two weeks, take a break.

On weekends in between, classes will be held as usual.

Mobile phones are prohibited.

Even if you take it secretly, you will be borrowed to play immediately. Even at night, some students will stay up late to pick up Timon's mobile phone to read novels.

Timon is not good at rejecting classmates who are also girls, meow.

Moreover, the population is overcrowded, and the teacher often loses his temper.

Even when the end of the term is approaching, the class is still refreshing the record of the crying teacher.

The club is held twice in a semester, and once is an introduction.

Food sucks.And it forces you to eat.

One day, including morning reading and evening self-study, there are a total of thirteen classes, and evening self-study is also in class as usual. It is not bad to have one evening self-study without class.Feel sleep deprived every day.

Honestly, enough is enough.It should be supported by the hope that they might be able to transfer to another school.

I really admire myself who can bear it for a semester. After all, Timon, who needs a private space, is not the type suitable for living in school.

Ah, that's right... So, it's really not because I'm lazy or something that I don't update, oh meow?

I have to go to school tomorrow, oh, I really don't want to go to meow.

Then, I'm sorry for complaining so much, because it's really a long-standing grievance, and I thought I would complain about more meows.

I hope it didn't affect everyone's mood, but is it comforting? ...Although, Timon does not appreciate this kind of comfort based on the miserable life of others, especially that "other" is Timon himself.

Meow.So that's it.
