I hid my identity as a woman and killed her with strength.

That's... that's the only way I know how to survive.

I soiled my hands, stained them red with untold blood.

The pure You Ye can't stay with someone like me.

His hands must not get dirty.

"Speaking of which...he's really dazzling..."

Candidly shows the innocence of inner emotions.

In the eyes of me who sacrificed my emotions in order to survive...it's really dazzling.

He even gave me an illusion... thinking that I too can live a fair life.

"But...it's over for today."

When You Ye told me that the practice was suspended, I felt really lonely and sad.

At the same time, though, I myself felt vaguely that the end was coming.

Because Princess Lexia and the others are about to go to the [Great Demon Realm].

Before the aristocrat who entrusted me to tell this news, this matter had already been spread in the streets and alleys. It is impossible for me, who belongs to the underground organization, not to have received the news.

In order to complete this commission, it is impossible for me to stay with You Ye anymore...

"...If You Ye knew my true identity, what would you think?"

I'm afraid to know the answer, but want to ask anyway.

──However, this is no longer possible.

"..."

I silently reached for the mask and put it directly on my face.

I am a killer.

I am a member of an underground organization, nicknamed [Headhunter].

So────

"────Farewell, Yuya."

I merged into the darkness and left the town to go to the [Great Demon Realm].

I ran forward without distraction, hoping to get rid of the memories with You Ye.

However, the days spent with You Ye...became an irreplaceable precious memory for me.

In order to survive, I choose to kill.

In the act of killing, there must be no hesitation about whether to kill or not.

I did it as a way of honoring those I killed to keep alive.

...Even so, I can't help but have such thoughts.

"If... if I meet You Ye with a different identity..."

If my life is not stained with blood, but just an ordinary life...

"...You Ye, can I stay by your side calmly?"

My murmur was buried in the darkness.

"Okay, Nate, shall we go?"

"Wow!"

After returning safely from the field teaching, I took Knight to the entrance of the [Great Demon Realm] as agreed.

Today is the Golden Week holiday, so I can spare time like this... Due to the original consecutive holidays and the supplementary holiday for field teaching, this holiday has been extended for a few more days.I don't think it's necessary to spend the whole vacation in another world. Even if you stay a little longer, since you have so many days off, you should be able to make it back before school starts.Anyway, if you really can't make it back in time, you can use magic to go home immediately.

To be honest, my biggest concern right now is Knight.

When I met Ms. Rexia and the others, Nate hadn't appeared yet, but Nate has become my family now, and I want to take it together as much as possible.

Although if you can't take it with you, there is always a way to solve it with magic... well, will they accept it?

Anyway, I couldn't get an answer even if I tried to break my head, so I decided to ask them face to face.

"Okay, let's go!"

All the things I need are in the storage backpack, so I put on [Blood Battle Ghost Equipment] and set off.

Usually, I always move to the depths of the forest in the opposite direction, but today it is the entrance to the [Great Demon Realm].

In the name of training, I will fight monsters with Luna... the number is somewhat less, right?However, I didn't have time to go near the entrance during the field teaching, so I think it's best not to have too much expectation.

"Speaking of which, Luna doesn't know what's wrong."

"...Aww."

Nat let out a grunt with an indescribable expression when he heard me say that.

We walked for a while, and suddenly felt the breath of a monster.

"Oh...the number of monsters really hasn't changed much."

"Wang."

I immediately activated the [Assimilation] skill, heightened my vigilance and walked in the direction of the breath...

"……What it is……"

There was a strange monster there.

To be precise, there are a large group of monsters...all of them are 【Red Demon Beasts】.

As for the monsters that I haven't seen before, they are particularly huge among the red monsters, with a dark red overall appearance and a terrifying atmosphere.

I held my breath and used [identification] skill towards that monster...
