[Comprehensive] The Demon King is running away from home

After a lot of hard work, climbing over high mountains, crossing grasslands, crossing torrents, and bravely fighting monsters, Marn finally completed the task and returned to Midgar City once again!

Of course, how could she be the only one who came back.Although Xi En didn't come back this time, he forced a drag... ah!No, the powerful bodyguards are here.

At this time, they were hiding in the trail not far from the barbecue shop.

Although the boy who followed didn't dislike humans very much, his expression was not much better when he saw the place where his Lord Demon King lived from a distance.He wore a beret on his head, his brown hair was curled up in all directions under the weight of the hat, and he had a pair of golden vertical pupils unique to demons. Although he looked very young, at most he was a teenager, but according to human In terms of his age, he can already be a great grandfather.

He was dressed like an ordinary village intelligence kid, but he didn't stand out at all when he was thrown into the crowd.It's easy to get mixed in, and people can't find it when they lower their heads.

"My lord, is this where you... temporarily live?" Although I had heard it before, I was a little stunned when I saw how the Lord Demon King treated the boy with my own eyes.

In my memory, my Lord Demon King has never been treated like this. Although the adjutant never said it, everyone in the Demon King City knows that there is no room for any flaws in the affairs of the Lord Demon King. It is snake spirit disease.

"Cecil, go find Baja first, and tell him to come and find me." Marn frowned suspiciously. She tried to recite Baja's name silently just now, but she didn't even get a single answer after calling a dozen times. .

Marn, who always felt a little strange, watched Cecil straighten his hat, and then ran towards the shop covered in dust.

Not far away, Bahamut, who was going out, smiled perfunctorily at the people around him, and said, "Zacks has troubled you. It's your rest day, and I asked you to help."

"It's okay, I'm just going to see Alice, just drop in." Zack freed his hand to rub the head of Baja Mann.He carried a heavy sack of raw meat on his shoulders, and he was completely unaffected by the weight. Even the short-legged Baja couldn't catch up with him when he walked.Probably because he is used to resisting the big sword, a bag of meat looks very easy to him.

Originally, Baja wanted the owner to drive him directly to the barbecue shop, because he happened to meet Zacks, and the other party helped him carry the bag of raw meat without saying a word, saving the gas money for door-to-door delivery.

Zack has grown up, the changed hairstyle makes him look more mature, with firm belief in his eyes, he has grown into a good man who can protect important people.He was no longer the frizzy young man Marn had known, who had been through such a tragic experience, with the cross scar on his cheek that would never go away.

Zack's mood changed.

After all, almost half a year has passed.

Ever since the Lord left, Baja has been playing the role of "Marn" dutifully.

Several times he almost aroused the suspicion of the people around him. After all, even if Sephiroth didn't stay for a long time, he could notice the obvious change of attitude even if he was careful.Fortunately, he didn't think much about it, but every time he came, there was more apology in his eyes.Sephiroth probably attributed this transformation to the failure to complete the agreement.

Sometimes Bahamut would also think, "The Lord Demon King has abandoned me, right?" Especially for some reason, the recent contract has become looser and looser. He has sensed that the Demon King still exists intermittently. The sky is completely unaware.

The time he followed the devil was too short, and because he was not liked by the devil because of his cheap talk, the pressure accumulated in his heart can be imagined.

If it weren't for the care of Zacks and Alice who occasionally came to play, he would probably collapse, ignore the orders of the master and leave here, return to the natural world and continue to dominate.

"By the way, Alice has a surprise for you recently, so stay in the store and don't run around! Absolutely." Zacks reminded Baja Mann who never took these things seriously.

Since 1st lost two people, Sephiroth's work has become more and more busy, and Marn, who often can't see him, has also become introverted. She has become quiet and likes to sit alone on a rock and look into the distance.

Zacks also blamed himself a little. If he had worked hard at that time, even if he could only bring back Angel, would everything have returned to the original track?Marn will still be that lively and cheerful brat who likes to joke with him and encourage him to fight?She would still secretly take Sephiroth's communication terminal, and go to the training room with him to destroy the game while training.

Then, they will be discovered by Sephiroth, who has taken the terminal away, and rush back to reserve the destroyed training room that is about to be scrapped.The two of them knelt and sat in front of Angel to be scolded.

Zack suddenly remembered that not long after he was promoted to 1st, Sephiroth confessed to him about Marn's rapid growth.

Before that, Zacks always thought that Mann was missing, and blamed Sephiroth for this incident, saying that he had failed Mann's trust.But he never expected that this little sister who needed to be taken care of was temporarily living in the border barbecue restaurant in Midgar City.

After knowing the truth for a while, Zacks fell into his immature self-reflection.He often felt that he was tumbling in his fate and couldn't escape, and he didn't get better until he saw Marn who was still alive.

She seems to be taken care of very well, and her new parents love her very much. She can also go to the amusement park accompanied by her parents like an ordinary child.You don't have to be locked up in the Shinra Building all day long, you don't have to worry about them going to the battlefield, you are carefree like a real child, with your own room and friends.

Zack figured it out and went to apologize to Sephiroth, although the other party never cared.

Zacks always pretended that he didn't know about Marne, and got along with her as usual. He also specially asked Alice for help, and helped take care of the somewhat autistic Marne when they were on missions.Occasionally, he will also bring in Claude, who is also not very talkative. He believes that people who are not talkative have a common language, although the two meetings are smooth and face-to-face.

However, these efforts came to no avail.

Marn still went her own way, besides helping out in the store, she didn't even have a friend who could be called her peers.Rather than staying and playing with her friends, she prefers to be alone and watch them from afar.

Perhaps, it is because she knows that she is not a human being, and she knows that staying away from Shinra and the crowd is a good thing for her.

Marn didn't answer his words from the beginning to the end, but Zacks, who was used to it, continued to talk to himself: "By the way, Marn has been here for more than a year, and that guy Sephiroth has been refusing to tell It's your birthday, and I can't do anything to celebrate it for you."

"It was so long ago, I don't remember..."

"Huh?" Zack was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked back at the people walking by.He heard Marne's voice just now, but she was clearly standing on his left, but the voice came from the right where a blond woman walked by just now.

Baja Mann looked at Zack who was stunned. He followed his line of sight, and his pupils shrank when he noticed a familiar figure, "That's..." Lord Demon King! ?Are you back yet! ! !

Finally realizing where Baja was, Marn, who immediately transformed into an adult form, turned her head and glanced at the two people who were stunned. She smiled slightly, nodded, and said in her heart, "Come out and see me later."

Baja withdrew his gaze, and said with tears in his heart: "Master qaq!!! You are finally back!" However, he didn't show any excitement on his face, turned around and continued to walk forward, and said, "Be careful, I'll leave you dumbfounded!" Tell Alice."

"Hey!" Zacks snapped back to his senses, and immediately caught up and said, "I don't have one! Don't talk nonsense to Alice!"

"Hmph." Baha turned his head arrogantly, and quickened his pace towards home.

After seeing the two away, Marne sat resting by the fountain. She closed her eyes and felt the vitality around her. She tried to push those irrelevant vitality aside, and focused on Shinra not far away. Inside the building, she searched for the three breaths of life she was most familiar with, but... nothing.

No Genesis, no Angel, no Sephiroth...not even Lazard.

"Did you go out for work?" Ma En couldn't think of other explanations in her mind, but she felt a little uneasy, as if something happened out of her control during her absence.

Even if the 1st job is so busy that all three of them are required to perform missions, Lazard, as the supervisor, should stay in the Shinra Building all the time. Why...why even his vitality has disappeared.

She could sense the vitality of Rufus, Renault, and Rude, but she didn't have the four people she was most familiar with.

Marn frowned tightly, trying to connect to Baja's memory bank. The memory of Shinra flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern. Although what was shown was only a few fragments, it was enough for people to know what happened after leaving. What happened.

Zacks has really risen to 1st. He is no worse than Angel and Genesis, and he is already a little famous.He has a certain prestige in the Shinra Special Forces, and occasionally he will deliberately take a blond boy named Claude to act together.Just like Angel took him back then.

Shinra issued a notice some time ago, 1st: Angel and Genesis died at work.

However, in Bahamut's subsequent memory, this is not the case.

Angel was finally willing to be killed by Zacks, he is really gone.In the words of the demons, he returned to nature and dissolved in the earth.And to explain it in the words of this world, his spirit has entered the stream of life, waiting to gather and be born again.

And Genesis left the Shinra Building, and it seems that he rebelled because of some things.

Because Bahamut's memory doesn't contain anything about it, Marn who reads the memory can't know the specific situation.However, Genesis seemed to have visited her intermittently, but they always came and left quietly.

Once, Baja caught a glimpse of his back inadvertently. His body was gray and there were some cracks in the whitest part.

Something changed in Genesis, making it impossible for him to face his former partner.

Marn suddenly stopped reading Bahamut's memory, and she didn't dare to read any more.Read on and soon read about Sephiroth's memory of being terrified of seeing something unacceptable happen.

When Baja and Zacks parted ways and followed Cecil over.

They saw Lord Demon King sitting in front of the fountain, her figure that couldn't melt into the surrounding atmosphere made her look even more lonely.

"My lord, have you seen everything?" Baja stepped forward, and opened his mouth in a desperate manner, "I'm sorry..."

"Survival of the fittest, Baja. You have nothing to do with your fault." Marn lowered her head, suddenly leaned back, and fell into the fountain amid the exclamations of the people around her. She was immersed in the bottom of the pool for a long time Only then struggled to get up, and was drenched to hold the arm of the person next to him.

Cecil helped the Demon King, his arm was tightly held by the other party, and a suppressed voice murmured in his ear: "Human beings... are so fragile."

"Yes, Lord Demon King." Cecil responded in a low voice, took off his clothes and put them on Marne, hugged her by the waist and said in a low voice, "In my arms, please rest assured."

"Ugh..." Marn hugged Cecil's neck, buried her face in his chest, and repeated that sentence over and over again, "Human beings... are so fragile."

It hasn't even been half a year since she left, and one of the three people she is familiar with has been lost.
