Yuusha Isagi no Maou Hanashi Volume 3 Chapter 9-10
3-9 <Shuu> Highest Situation
When Isagi arrived, a gruesome spectacle came into his sight.
The corpses of the four adventurers, their bodies were scattered everywhere.
Shirbenia and Renzou were collapsed..
And a boy, who right at that moment in time, stabbed his sword into Renzouâs chest.
Akyama Shuu.
Isagi doubted his eyes.
Bloodstained Shuu looked at Isagi.
He tilted his head just like always.
[ âŠ. Isa-kun? Why are you here?] â Shuu
[ Shuu, youâŠ..] â Isagi
Isagi carefully asked him a question.
Why in the world is Shirbenia collapsed here?
And why is Shuu the only one left standing?
[ What the hell are you doing? You âŠâŠ. Oi, Shuu âŠâŠ ] â Isagi
[I thought that it would be either Yoshinobu-kun or Dyutyu-san who would come here.
To think that you are the one, the one that came here, its unexpected Isa-kun ] â Shuu
[ Shuu!] â Isa
He stabbed his sword into Renzouâs palm.
Renzou groaned.
It seemed that Renzou is still alive.
At the same time, Shirbenia was also still twitching occasionally.
Though the blood that flooded out from her little body soaked into the earth, she was still breathing.
In return, the adventurers that were scattered around her all already seemed to be totally defeated.
It was likely that they were killed so many times, that it exceeded the power of the revival stone to revive them again.
If itâs Renzou or Shuu, by some chance, they may have been able to do it.
It was hard for Isagi to honestly accept what was happening in front of his eyes.
There was several other things that were weird.
Though he wanted longer to think, Isagi slowly took a breath.
He had to reach a conclusion about this situation with a cooler head.
First, Shirbenia.
[ ⊠Why is Shirbenia collapsed right here? ] -Isagi
Shuu didnât even evade to answer.
[ Iâm the one who dragged her down here.
After all, Shirbenia-chan would have become a big threat to me. Right?] â Shuu
Isagi clenched his fist tightly.
It tore his skin and made his palm bleed.
[ âŠ. Renzou too. Are you also the one who did it to him? ] -Isagi
[ what if I did?]-Shuu
[ âŠ. WhyâŠ..
Why did you do this, Shuu?!] -Isagi
[ Isa-kun] -Shuu
He brushed up his hair.
He didnât look any different from his usual self.
[Does Isa-kun think that the Demon Lord army will win if it remains like this?] â Shuu
[What did you just sayâŠâŠ?] â Isagi
As Isagi asked back, Shuu answered with an extremely logical answer.
[ I donât know how strong the other adventures are you know? But with just several tens of people, we already became like this. Right? You also understand it right? That this was really impossible.
Do not go against someone who is strong. There is nothing a small weak army can do to a large army. Okay?] â Shuu
[ For that reason, you and I are âŠ. ] â Isagi
[You wouldnt mind losing some things
right , Isa-kun?]Â â Shuu
With his usual gentle-like tone, Shuu spit out those sharp words.
[ We already arenât able to go back to our former world.
You think that too, right?] â Shuu
[ itâs not a sure thing] â Isagi
[Itâs okay. Even I know such a thing is okay.
When we are able to come back, it would be the time when our memories about Japan are about to disappear] â shuu
Though his eyes looked calm, but perhaps maybe the reason is that because he never expected anything from the beginning. Cruel kindness. Perhaps that was the true nature of Shuu.
Not yet.
It was too fast to come to a conclusion.
[ Then I have decided.
You have no choice other than escaping from a ship thatâs about to sink.
I will cast away the demon race, and then attach myself to the adventurerâs side.
I wonât do as they say, to those who are just holding onto a faint light of hope.
I will go down the road that I myself decide.
Finally, the day has come. ] â Shuu.
Shuu who opened and closed his palm.
Isagi felt an uncomfortable feeling looking at Shuuâs condition.
Shuu indeed was awe-inspiring, butâŠâŠ
[ âŠâŠ Please wait a moment , Shuu.
You. Do you understand what you are saying? ]
[Of course.
The one who doesnât understand is you, and also Renzou and Yoshinobu.]
[No, itâs not like that]
Isagi lightly brushed off his hand, and then glared at Shuu.
[ If you think of doing it,
You will need to escape from this castle faster than this.
Why didnât you do it earlier?
Taking all this time, and also taking the risk of getting the antagonism of the adventurers. Right?] â isagi
[ âŠ. ]
Shuu squinted his eyes.
[ Itâs just the problem with the timing.
I always questioned myself, you know, whether itâs alright for me to stay with the demon race.
After all, the Demon Emperor got defeated, and the demon race were cornered. Right?
In other words, isnât this what you reaping what you sow?
For a country or two to get destroyed, isnât that a common thing in history. Right?
Although, I said that, which side is the right one? I donât think you know.
Itâs better to follow the strong, so that we can live in security.
Thatâs my only interest]- Shuu
[ âŠ. Is that true?]-Isagi
[ Aah, thatâs true.
While on it, I was thinking of bringing the Demon Lordâs neck as a present you know.
Thatâs why thereâs no other time than this.] â Shuu
Perhaps, he wasnât telling any lies, but Isagiâs instincts were also saying that Shuu, wasnât telling the truth either.
It was because of their four months that they shared together, though it couldnât be said that it was a long time.
Isagi pointed at the two who were collapsed below him.
[ âŠ. If thatâs true, then why are Renzou and Shirbenia still alive]
As if he had already prepared an answer for that question, Shuu answered immediately.
[ Itâs because Isa-kun appeared the moment that I wanted to finish them off ] â Shuu
[ Even though all of the adventurers are dead?] â Isagi
[ If I didnât kill them properly, then they would come back alive after all.] â Shuu
If itâs with words, Shuu wonât take off his mask.
That, Isagi perfectly understood it.
Every minute of this is precious time.
He has to quickly take care of Renzou and Shirbenia.
For him to drag this any longer than this is not good.
[ Itâs alright Shuu. You donât need to talk about the important things.] -Isagi
[ If itâs about me hiding something, I think that you are also doing the same. Right?
I wonder because when did you get so much power.
Even though I thought that weâre friends]-Shuu
Isagi breathed a sigh.
After that, he stretched his hand.
[ Shuu, I will pretend that I did not see anything.
Letâs restart.
With us, letâs restore the dignity of the demon race.] â isagi
That was Isagiâs last compromise.
If he needs too, towards Renzou and also Shirbenia, he will lie to them.
He will prostrate together with Shuu and ask for their forgiveness together.
Rather than becoming enemies with Shuu, this is better.
[ Youâre kind, Isa-kun, but you know, that is my line] â Shuu
Shuu made a bitter smile, and then pointed his palm towards Isagi
[ Isa-kun, youâre not a normal person. Right?
No matter how it is, I also vaguely realized it. You know?
Isnât it better to just cast away the demon race.
If we join forces, I think that we will surely be able to have a better life in this world.
Letâs go, Isa-kun.
It you think that youâre my friend all this time, then letâs go.]
Together with Shuu, casting away everything.
He will go towards Suraosha continent and go searching for Plea.
Thatâs certainly something that seems fun.
HoweverâŠ.
[ Shuu]
[ Isa-kun]
The twoâs eyesight met.
[ I canât, Shuu.
I was summoned by the Demon race as their savior.
I cannot cast them away.]
[ âŠâŠ. Is that soâŠ..
Even though I thought that it would go well with you. You know?]
Shuu said sounding regretful
Isagiâs heart ached.
[ Do we really have to fight seriously, Shuu?]
[ âŠâŠ. If, thatâs needed âfor my aimâ]
Shuu said so.
Thinking about it again, four months ago, when four of them stacked their hands together in the courtyard.
Shuu didnât say something like ăLetâs save the demon raceăor, ăLetâs go back to our worldă, but ăLetâs achieve our objectiveă
Shuu said something like that.
The reason for that was something that Isagi didnât understand.
Itâs just that the only thing that Isagi understands is that if he let Shuu run away from here, he will surely become a great enemy of the demon race.
[ Please, Shuu.
The four months that I spent with you were really fun.
Letâs carry on being friends together]
[ I also have the same feeling as you. You know?
The only time when my heart felt at ease is when I am with you guys]
[ If that is so then!]
[ Then]
That time, the two of them realized the road that they choose would never mingle.
From now on and forever.
This is their last parting ways.
[ âŠâŠ ăIf you want to go then defeat meă, you want to say that?]- Shuu
[ I would say that] â Isagi
[ I already thought about this for quite a while, but Isa-kun, has some place that is childish. Right?
That thing, what do people call it?]
[ Shut up. I am self consciousness of my chuunibyou] (TL : chuunibyou : 8th grade syndrome, search google !) (ED: I got you http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Chuunibyou )
Shuu laughed and Isagi too.
Their nervousness swelled.
When this atmosphere disappears, either one of them will be collapsed here on the ground.
ââ At that time, the man with red eyes slowly raised.
The man who stood between Shuu and Isagi.
Renzou
Renzou who already lost his consciousness.
[ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !] â Renzou
He looked the same as Yoshinobu was at that time.
The rampage of the sealing tech.
Above all things to be activated at this kind of time.
Renzou, who already lost his ability to differ between friend and foe, ran towards the one who stood the nearest to him â-
Towards Shuu, Renzou bared his fangs.
[ Renzou !] â Isagi
As Isagi shouted, Shuu raised both of his hands.
From his palms, Isagi could see that there was some kind of light that came out from it.
The line of light approached Renzou.
This is no good.
Shuu, this time, he seriously tried to kill Renzou, as if to separate himself from his own weakness.
[ Like Iâll let that slide ! ] â Isagi
Isagi quickly used his left eye all together with Renzou.
Right before the light that Shuu shot touched Renzou, it disappeared.
Also Renzou collapsed at that place like his strings had been cut, but again once more, Shuu who got his beam of light destroyed, wrote more black magic.
His target this time was Isagi.
No good.
â- The right moment after the activation of ăBreak Techăis no good.
Isagi tried to twist his body with all his power.
Perhaps he tried to focus the black magic on itâs speed to invoke.
The black magic that Shuu wrote is a simple one..
One arrow of fire approached Isagi.
That black magic grazed his head.
From Isagiâs cheek, blood started to trickle down.
Though Isagi became alert, the pursuit form Shuu didnât come.
Shuu, looked at isagi and then knitted his eyebrows.
[ You use a really weird power eh, Isa-kun, but it seems that it is different from a sealing tech ⊠]
[ âŠâŠ You are saying my line alright?]
Shuu was using ăWitchcraftă
It was not black magic. It was ăWitchcraftă
Akayama Shuu, he is a sorcerer.
No one knew when he awoke to the power.
Perhaps, the fact that he was able to take down Shirbenia, the one who was guarding the castle, was thanks to that witchcraft.
A sorcerer is someone dangerous.
Theyâre able to use various ăAbilityăwithout expending much time.
Both of them didnât know what their opponentâs next move was. Thus they met with a stalemate.
Especially Isagi, he had to put his breath into order.
If this keeped on going like this, Isagi had to break his friendâs legs to stop him moving.
The two boys were facing each other..
However, that atmosphere was destroyed by sudden black magic that once again came.
It was a fireball.
The bombardment that supposedly stopped for a while, once again, started from far away.
Right now, Shirbenia was collapsed at this place. The castleâs condition was bare without her protection.
Thereâs no other way, Isagi had to protect it.
[ Kuh, every last one of them â-!] â Isagi
Unconsciously he shouted.
He used break tech in succession.
Itâs already do or die.
The four huge fireballs that came at the same time were erased in an instant by Isagi.
At that time when his eyes glowed, it made made every single magical powerâs effect disappear.
Every single bit of it.
For Isagiâs body who is the host of that power, the effect of the break tech is the most effective.
The break tech erases the magical power in Isagiâs body itself.
For quite a while, right after he activated that power, Isagiâs physical power is no different than that of a normal person.
Shuu kicked the ground and ran towards Isagi.
Perhaps he unconsciously did that, but this was a rare opportunity for that to happen.
On his right hand was a sword and on his left hand was black magic.
[ Sorry, Isa-kun] â Shuu
His sword was dancing and fire was flying.
[ If you want to apologize, donât do this kind of thing from the start]
[ Wha â-]
Isagi warded the sword with his elbow and evaded the black magic.
As he did, he punched Shuu in the face.
It was purely his unconscious reaction that came from his martial arts.
Though it couldnât make Shuu faint in one hit, it did blow Shuu away and made him slide on the ground.
After that, while staggering, he recovered his pose.
[ Though I also had the intention to hide my power, but to think that thereâs this much difference in our power ⊠] â Shuu
[ Shuu âŠ..]- Isagi
Toward Isagi who approached step by step, he raised his hand.
Perhaps he still intended to fight Isagi.
There were three things that Shuu did.
First was a magical ritual. He cast a huge black magic and then, a linear shine came from his hand â- If looked closely at it was something that resembled a chain â shot into the ground.
Again, another chain shot out from his other hand, and flew to the back.
Using black magic and witchcraft at the same time was extremely hard, even for Plea who was a sorcerer.
Isagi knows that even she would have trouble doing something like that in such a short time.
Even while getting cornered by Shuu, who was able to use it easily, Isagi actually thought what in the world was he.
*Thud* came from the ground. Suddenly the chains of light appeared.
Those things flew at Isagiâs face and he evaded it by bending his torso.
Shooting through the air for a moment, the chains of light fell down aiming at Isagi..
He evaded it again by rolling onto the ground.
Chains of light.
Being able to manipulate it as he wanted too , was perhaps Shuuâs witchcraft.
The range of that attack was at least long enough to arrive at Shirbeniaâs place when shot from here.
Surely, Isagi couldnât evade it forever.
Isagi ran straight towards Shuu.
Chains followed him from behind grazing the places he stepped.
Clenching his fist, Isagi jumped almost right in front of Shuuâs face.
Shuu activated his black magic.
[ Oâ the light!]-Shuu
Too late. From this position then he wouldnât be able to cast the chant.
Isagi was faster.
However, Shuuâs body slid back with an amazing speed.
The chain that he shot from one of his hands twined around a boulder behind him, and so he shrunk that chain quickly.
With this Isagi wouldnât be able to reach, so Isagi had fallen into Shuuâs trap.
The bright light that was enough to fill his view burned Isagiâs retina.
If it keeped going like this then he wouldnât be able to evade being burned to black.
However.
[ Shuu! ]- Isagi
With his 5 fingers, Isagi destroyed the light clawing the black magic with his nails.
Shuu was surprised, and then shouted.
[ Isagi ! ] â Shuu
The essence of the break tech wasnât only in his devil eye.
With his hand, Isagi destroyed the black magic and then he dashed towards Shuu.
The black magic that Shuu shot twinkled behind Isagi.
Leaving the twinkling light, Isagi stepped in even further.
His fist met with Shuuâs stomach.
[ Iraaaa ! ] â Isagi
As he shouted, he sent Shuu flying, but Shuu jumped back at the time of the impact. The attack wasnât able to hit him with a fatal impact.
Just like that he got pulled back, and then he skillfully disappeared.
Simultaneously, the chain of light approached behind Isagi and tore his side.
His face grimaced from the pain.
While wrapping around some kind of stone, the other chain also disappeared.
[ âŠ. Hah, haaah ] â Isagi
Being out of breath, Isagi wiped his sweat.
He put his hand on his side.
Though there was some blood flowing, it wasnât a big injury.
However, he ended up letting Shuu slip away.
Isagi pressed his left eye due to the pain.
Due to the heavy use of break teach, his body groaned.
If he at least had a sword.
ââ He would be able to kill Shuu
âŠâŠ No, he wondered would he be able to do it?
For the current him, to kill that man.
Isagi clenched his fist, and then his his own head.
Making a dull sound, his forehead cracked.
Between his eyebrows, blood started to trickle down.
[ âŠâŠ Shuu. The next time we meet, Iâll also resolve myself you know? âŠ. ]-Isagi
A sorcerer who possessed a forbidden tech,
Thatâs without a doubt, the Demon emperor Anrimanyuâs power, Shuu would definitely be a threat.
Though Isagi was still able to chase him, but he knew if he did that, then there would be no one to protect the Demon Lordâs castle.
At that place, Isagi threw down his body.
He was tired, but he had to treat Renzou and Shirbenia.
He slowly got up, and then once again he turned towards the direction where Shuu disappeared.
[ Hey, Shuu.
I wonder if it has to become like this. We are âŠ..
âŠ.. Shuu] â Isagi
That mutter, sapped into the earth and then disappeared.
On the horizon, the sun slowly sunk as the day was coming to an end.
Isagiâs fight didnât even take a day.
A lot of corpses were piled up, but even so, the one who was still able to stand until the end,
was the boy who was once called the human raceâs strongest.
> Rimino: Serious wound
> Shirbenia:Â Serious wound
> Ira: Condition Unknown
> Renzou: Serious wound
> Yoshinobu: Emotional trauma
> Shuu: Estrangement.
> Isagi: Almost unwounded.
Renzou: Got done in by a surprise attack. Weak.
Shirbenia: Got done in by a surprise attack. Since she got carried away, she didnât notice the chain of light that came. Is still Weak.
Shuu: While he was a sorcerer, he was also a forbidden tech user. A boy with a lot of mysteries. Has the will to become stronger.
Isagi: Chuuni-king. Strong ( Conviction)
==
3-10 Soul Revolution
The damage to the Demon Lordâs castle was enormous.
First, the two demon races, who were the pivot of the defense, were missing or injured.
Demon lordâs army corps commander, Ira, conditions were unknown.
The commander of the magicianâs corps, Shirbenia took some serious injuries. She got stabbed in the chest, which resulted in the soldiers, almost being annihilated.
It was once a place that was used for two people, but now Shuu was gone.
Renzou, who was covered in bandages, was laying on the bed.
He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Isagi.
[ âŠ.. bastard, so you were strong ] â Renzou
[ Yep, wellâŠ..] Isagi
These few days, however, Isagi was busy with being a lookout during the circumstance. Thatâs why, for them to meet each other at ease, had been a while.
[ Help me up, Isa ] â Renzou
[ Aah ] â Isagi
Supporting his back, Isagi helped him up
This one week, even after opening his eyes, Renzou was silent.
His dangerous aura from before was already gone,
but this, was his true character it felt like a sword that had been drawn from its sheath, right now it felt like that sword was sheathed again.
Inside that sheath, he was surely sharpening that sword.
That included killing people. It seems that Renzou had gained a lot of determination.
Renzou clenched his fist.
Even though he was in such of a condition where he couldnât even raise his own hand.
Renzou, punched Isagi in the face.
Because of that punch which held more power than he thought, Isagi fell down on to the floor.
Then, Renzou, bit his lips, looking more in pain than Isagi who had just been punched.
[ O, oi, you âŠ. Are you alright? ] â Isagi
[ Thereâs no way Iâm ok you fool âŠâŠ ! ] â Renzou
From his eyes, tears started to fall
No doubt that really hurt.
[ Do that after you are healed , you âŠÂ ] â Isagi
[ Isa âŠ. you, the next time you lie to me, Iâll kill you for sure âŠâŠ.. ! ] â Renzou
He was scowling with a face while looking like he was holding back his tears.
Isagi scratched the back of his head.
Itâs not like he was trying to lie.
Itâs just, he couldnât tell them the truth.
However, now that he thought about it, surely Shuu was also in the same condition.
This one punch , he would receive it with open arms.
Though when Renzou did it again, Isagi would return the punch, or so he thought.
[ âŠâŠâŠ Iâm sorry, Renzou ] â Isagi.
[ Aah ] â Renzou
Thus, while Renzou was still in the position of sitting on the top of the bed, he groaned.
[ âŠ. I canât move .
Lie me down, isa ] â renzou
[ You âŠ.. ] â isagi
While chanting the healing tech, Isagi once again laid Renzou onto the bed.
Renzou, from him punching Isagi, it seemed that all of his worries were blown away.
[ What are you gonna do after this?
The fact that you are that strong, means youâre not just some ordinary guy, right? ] â Renzou
[ âŠâŠ. ]
[ Well, itâs not like Iâm forcing you to answer tho. ]
[ âŠ.. For now ,
I want to discuss what we will do after this, at the five demon general conference ]- Isagi
That was just like his original plan.
Including the movement of the demon race after this, he also wanted to look at the five demon lords.
Renzou sighed.
[ So those were the adventurers ] â Renzou
[ aa, it seems so ] â isagi
Both of them fell into silence for a moment.
Warriors who kept on standing up no matter how many time theyâre defeated.
Honestly, they were like a nightmare.
[ Shuu is already gone eh ] â Renzou
[ âŠ.. Aah ] â Isagi
Renzou had the usual sour look.
From that face, Isagi couldnât perceive what he actually felt.
Surely, Renzou also had feelings of friendship towards Shuu.
Perhaps various thoughts were recurring in his mind.
[ What do you think , Isa ?
Do you think we will be able to win this fight ?] â Renzou
[ âŠ.. Itâs not about winning, or losing.
However, I want to save all of the demon race on this continent ] â Isa
[ So, you will murder all of those adventurers, huh? ] â Renzou
[ No . I will become the bridge for them ] â Isa
[ Naive eh] â Renzou
Isagi for a moment was shocked.
From Renzouâs tone, it was like Shuuâs words when they parted.
[ You will understand when you fight them.
They will never stop unless every one of the demon race gets annihilated.
Our side also has to prepare our resignation ] â Renzou
[ âŠâŠÂ I am. thinking, that no matter how many extremist adventurers we defeat,
this problem will never meet itâs end ] â Isa
[ Those are only your thoughts. ] â Renzou
Renzou closed his eyes.
[ Isa, I already decided. ]
[ âŠâŠ. Renzou ]
[ I will never forgive anyone who stands in my way.
Even if that person âŠ.. is Shuu ] â Renzou
Renzou who already felt the grip of death, muttered so .
Surely , he was changed from this day.
Isagi left the room, Dyutyu and Rimino were already waiting outside.
[ You two, is there something wrong ?]Â â Isa
Rimino waved her hand while smiling.
Her neck was covered with bandages.
The beautiful voice of the elf princess still wouldnât return.
But even so, she had already firmly, started to work.
Preparing for moving the patients in care, thereâs a lot of things that had to be done.
Dyutyu didnât look at all different from usual.
Now that he thought about it, ever since the adventurers escaped , he had never talk to Dyutyu even once.
In this one week , it seemed that Dyutyu was really busy writing letters as the head of the Demon Lordâs castle.
[ Umm, Isa-sama ! ] â Dyutyu
[ Ah, aah ? ] â Isa
[ In this occasion, umm, how should I express my gratitude âŠ. ] â Dyu
[ Umm, you donât need to ]Â -Isa
[ The outline of the circumstance, I already heard it all from Rimino-chan ] Dyu
[ From Rimino ? ] â Isa
Rimino gave Isagi an OK-mark with her thumb.
Leave it to me, that what he thought she meant.
What in the world did Rimino tell Dyutyu.
Dyutyu, looked at her smiling and nodding her head energetically.
[ Look, Rimino-chan also told it to me just like this ] â Dyu
[ No, I canât understand what that means ] â Isagi
Is she perhaps able to use some kind of mind reading tech? Isagi thought that for a moment.
But if Dyutyu was able to use that kind of skill, then supposedly she should be a bit smarter than this.
Towards Isagi who was shaking his head, Dyutyu pointed her sparkling gaze to him.
[ Even though Isa-sama didnât use any sealing techs, Isa-sama was really strong.
Isa-sama is just like dear father that I often heard about ! ]Â â dyutyu
[ Umm âŠ.. ] â Isa
Surely that wasnât sarcasm.
She entwined her hands, while looking at Isagi with eyes of admiration.
If she knew that he was the brave one who killed that Demon Emperor, what would she think of him?
Perhaps, she would think that Isagi was someone like shuu. Someone who would betray them
or rather, if she didnât think that the brave one Isagi wouldnât take the human raceâs side would be weird instead.
But if she herself by any chance still believed in Isagi,
Itâll be different for the five Demon Generals who stood at her back.
In reality, Shuu had already betrayed them. He hurt one of the Demon Lord candidates, also Shirbenia.
It was already too late.
Isagi didnât want to give her more anxiety.
It wasnât hypocrisy or pretense of evil.
This kind of thing, was no more than just Isagiâs principle.
[ Umm, you know, Dyutyu.
How should I say about the incident ]
Thatâs why, Isagi didnât know what he should say.
Looking at Isagi, Dyutyu laughed quite indifferently.
[ Itâs alright, Isa-sama.
The demon race wouldnât lose.                Itâs because everyone, and Isa-sama is right here after all.
Even ira-chan , must believe in that] â Dyu
[ Dyutyu âŠâŠâŠ ] â Isa
Now, he wasnât able to muster any words.
With a face that looked like she was holding the hope from the bottom of her heart, she laughed.
Even if she already lost Ira.
Dyutyuâs spirit would never be broken.
[ After this, it will become quite busy.
Isa-sama, please lend us your power ] â Dyu
Possibly in this one week, this was the answer that she desperately thought of with her slow head.
When he looked closely, there was a deep shade below her eyes.
Her hair also had become frayed. It also looked somewhat haggard.
But even so , Dyutyu still believed it.
She still believed at the unconditional situation that they had right now.
Even if she was called âeasyâ
Even if she was treated like a fool.
Perhaps, she was someone who held the most important thing.
That thing itself, perhaps is the talent of the Demon Emperorâs daughter.
And then again, Rimino , was smiling while hugging Dyutyuâs shoulder.
Though she already experienced something scary
but even so, Rimino behaved no different than the old Rimino.
The demon lord princess and the elf princess.
the two who were born in different places but had the same status.
These girls perhaps,had long ago become determined.
For some reason, the back of Isagiâs eyes became hot.
He felt the urge so much, wanting to meet with Plea.
These girls were really splendid and were really beautiful.
It made him think about what he did all this time.
ăGet ahold of yourself , Isagi.
Youâre the brave one, right?
You canât gain anything by hesitating, you know.
I already said this , you should do what you think is rightă
He wanted someone to rebuke him like that.
Isagi turned his back at the two, and then muttered.
[ âŠâŠ Dyutyu , Rimino .
Even though I wouldnât ever become a demon kind.
but, I will never betray you guys ] â Isa
As he deliberately put it into words, his heart quivered numb with pain.
Thatâs right.
Even if Renzou and Dyutyuâs methods were different, the way they decided to go through with it was same.
For bringing peace back into this world.
For that sake.
He felt something on his left and right hand.
A soft, pressure of meat.
When he looked at it, Rimino and Dyutyu twined themselves around Isagi.         With a happy face, they put themselves on to Isagiâs body weight.
[ Wha, wait you guys ] â Isa
Looking at those faces they looked like spoiled children.
Isagi decided, that he would succumb himself into this happiness this time.
As he will make sure, that he knows what he should protect.
ââ
And then, there was also one boy who made his determination.
He sat down on the Demon Lord castleâs spire where Shirbenia once stood up before. Blowinâ in the wind.
During this week, he readied himself, preparing for any danger that would come from anywhere.
As if killing time, he kept writing and messing with magical codes.
That man is Yoshinobu.
One week before.
After the battle ended, he was crying and prostrating himself in front of Isagi.
He wasnât able to protect Rimino.
At the time, he also couldnât even save Lolishia.
He wasnât able to return the kindness that those girls gave to him, he said.
he desperately apologized, so that they wouldnât throw him away.
To that yoshinobu, Isagi didnât put any blame on him.
It was your first battle, it canât be helped, Isagi said.
He got his shoulder tapped lightly.
Isagi was kind.
He felt relieved.
He was saved from the bottom of his heart, so he thought.
â- But also , he wanted to become a new person by killing his old self
Yoshinobu was greatly tormented by his self-loathing.
Yoshinobu thought.
From the first time thereâs no one who expected something from him.
There was not even any worth to blame him, or even hit him.
He was treated only to that degree.
He still wasnât able to reach the same level as Renzou or Shuu.
For isagi, he was the subject of his protection.
That thing was really sad, that it wanted to make him cry.
However, this was the first time he felt this vexing in his whole life.
Ira is gone, Renzou has gotten hurt , and Shuu has gone away.
Only he himself cannot do anything.
Thatâs why he was candidating himself to become the defensive force of the Demon Lordâs castle
If he wanted to get recognized, he had to prove it by himself.
If he didnât do that, they wouldnât even become his friend.
It wasnât balanced with the worth of his soul.
Yoshinobu raised a revolution onto his own soul.
For the sake of separating with his miserable self,
so that he can stand on the same line as Isagi.
and then,
someday,
for sure,
he could protect the girl that is important to him.
While looking at the ground while sitting atop the spire, the boy muttered.
[ âŠâŠâŠ. Trip to another world, it isnât something easy eh âŠ.. ]
ââ
After the battle had ended.
The man who found that boy was, Zed.
As Zed was guessing that the adventurers who infiltrated the castle got annihilated,
he immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.
Though it looked that even Shirbenia was collapsed,
their black magic still wasnât able to break through the barrier.
The black magic that they fired for a test, the result was that black magic got erased.
If there was another tech user who was protecting the Demon Lordâs castle beside her, then more attacks than this was meaningless.
The capture of the Demon Lordâs castle, the level of the quest is now supposed to get raised.
