conclusion

I returned to the academy watching the sunrise, but nothing had changed.

Since school hadn’t even started yet, there were no people inside except for the staff. At best, only a few of the students remain and continue their training.

…Yeah, nothing changes.

No one knows except for Akshi, Rebecca, and Agnes that I captured the Demon King. He also asked the three of them to keep a secret.

Because I didn’t need to tell you.

If I spread the fact that I have captured the Demon King to the Empire, will people really believe it?

I never believe

Rather, they are treated like crazy. Having to convince the Duke of Philasia right away comes with risks.

Besides, it’s not a good thing to say.

For the citizens of the Empire, the current situation is a little unsettling, but it’s a good enough thing. Even if a higher-ranking demon appeared, they eventually caught it.

The Demon King has appeared. It was fortunate that the confusing rumors did not spread.

But imagine that the Demon King has appeared, and rumors are spreading that I have captured the Demon Lord.

Can citizens feel chaos or relief?

Relief is what you feel when you have anxiety. Rather than being relieved by a fear they have never experienced before, people will experience confusion that they are not aware of.

We don’t know how the chaos will affect the Empire, but we know it’s going to be bad.

‘Besides, you have to prepare like this.’

He remembers the words of the Succubus Queen, but declares that he does not believe them. If that is the case, then you should consider the possibility that what she said was wrong.

For that to happen, you need a balance like this.

The present empire is a great power. True to its reputation as an empire, its military power and abundance will be able to withstand the coming of war.

The problem is with the nobles…

‘You can ask the duke for that.’

He could only vaguely predict the aristocrats who dealt with the succubus. In any era, there was bound to be a fallen or fallen noble.

duke of philasia. My father would be able to filter them out with certainty.

“Of course, I’ll have to find it and give it to you.”

Basically, the duke has a lot of work to do. It means that you can’t afford to spend time cleaning up and liquidating the nobles that might be there.

Come to think of it, there is still a lot of work to be done.

“What are you muttering to yourself?”

A hand rested on my shoulder as I was organizing my future work.

It was Aksi.

I glanced at her and snorted.

“I just don’t know what to do next…”

“Of course you should rest!”

As if Akshi was talking, she opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

“No, taking a break is also taking a break, but there are things that need to be cleaned up.”

“That’s something to think about later.”

“Ummm…”

Akshi sighed as he looked at me pondering for a moment.

And Agnes and Rebecca, who were listening next to whether the sigh was contagious, sighed at the same time.

I was the only one tilting my head, not knowing why I was sighing.

Akshi looked at me as if pathetic, and opened her mouth.

“I can’t.”

“what…?”

Akshi shook her head. The dragon’s characteristic eyes look at me terribly. Not the aura or magic, but the momentum of the race that dragons are born with.

With that momentum, Akshi glanced at Rebecca and Agnes for a moment.

even said

“Do you remember what you promised me?”

I nodded at her question. I couldn’t forget the promise I made with her.

Rare, where she grew up while she was alive. So, let’s go visit the rocky mountain depicted in her image once together.

It was clearly promised.

And I’m here to keep that promise. Achieving the highest level of status, and twisting the fate of being a monarch and a demon king.

“That promise. I have to keep it now.”

Looking at Aksi who proudly tells me to keep the promise I made now. I was a little confused and pursed my lips.

It was because I clearly understood why she was asking me to fulfill her promise now, even though she was proud.

I want to rest.

You can tell without looking into her eyes. It’s been a while since I finished the battle with the Demon King, but I’m still thinking about doing something.

From Akshi’s point of view, he seemed to be quite worried.

‘I must have a good rest.’

I’m not a worm that just does what I do.

But you don’t have to tell me this.

Instead of opening my mouth, I nodded. It was a place I had to go anyway. However, one condition had to be met.

“First of all, the academy will start soon. We can’t miss classes, so we’ll schedule them as soon as we have time.”

“That’s fine.”

“And, one more thing.”

I stared at Akshi. She tilts her head. I look like I don’t know what to say.

“Now, why don’t you go on like that?”

“like this?”

Akshi looked down at her own body. Her body, which was maintained by the dragon’s mana, was originally operated from my mana.

And that mana also served as a breakwater to prevent Magi from being installed.

Now that Magi is gone, there is no need to build a breakwater anymore. In that sense, I returned Akxi’s mana remaining in my body to her.

Akshi slowly looked down at her fist. I grabbed it several times. Although it is a body made of mana, it is a complete body.

She looked at me and nodded. He was a doctor of acceptance.

“Deron.”

“Well?”

Next was Agnes. Her blue eyes turned to me. It felt a little frosty, so my skin was cold.

Even in a short battle with the Demon King, she seemed to have grown up. The passage of mana flowing through the body was smooth.

even more than before.

“Have you made any further progress?”

I quickly took the lead before Agnes spoke up. For some reason, it seemed like it would be out of control if I gave up a player.

Agnes’ eyebrows twitched.

“Yes. But now…”

“Congratulations. Reaching a higher rank is not a dream.”

Her mouth opened and closed again and again.

“…thank you.”

After saying that, looking at Agnes who was about to continue the story, I coughed a couple of times and moved cautiously, but I moved away.

“Where are you going?”

I was stopped by Rebecca, who smiled and covered my back with her hand. Seeing her eerie smile, who dares to call Rebecca a saint?

I had such a question.

In the end, I couldn’t escape, and Agnes’ mouth was opened.

“You promised me something. Do you remember?”

“Yeah. I remember.”

But I don’t know why he’s bringing up that promise now.

“Akshi… sir?”

“I told you to just call me Akshi.”

“ah.”

After tidying up the titles, Agnes spoke again.

“Hmmm. Anyway, after making Akshi’s promise. Keep your promise to me… I’ll give it to you.”

Agnes’ voice trembles. Because of her personality, she wouldn’t want to keep her promises like this.

I looked at Aksi and Rebecca. Aksi raised her head as if she was looking, and Rebecca looked away.

…that’s how it happened.

I turned my gaze back to Agnes. She is still looking up at me. with a gaze of envy and awe.

“ね.”

Those eyes were so similar to when we first met, a smile came out.

Yes, you have always been the same.

I said as I looked at Agnes who tilted his head not knowing why he was smiling.

“Okay. Just like Akshi. Let’s go find it when time permits.”

At my answer, Agnes stepped back with a satisfied expression on her face. And once again the footsteps sound.

familiar footsteps. Shining blonde hair with divine power.

Rebecca asked with a smile.

“You know what I’m going to say?”

I nodded as I saw Rebecca clenching her fists with a clenched fist looking like she would kill her if she didn’t know.

Then Rebecca’s fist is released. The divine power that was engraved in his fist also.

If I had tilted my head, I might have been hit with that one.

“I don’t know where Aksina Agnes is going.”

“I will.”

“To be honest. I still have a lot to say with you.”

Know. Saint Rebecca. She was very hostile when she first saw me. We had to find out the source of the hostility.

And the root of that hostility will surely appear in the past history she is trying to unravel.

“You obviously said you couldn’t tell me yet.”

“I did. It wasn’t the time yet. I wasn’t even ready to tell you.”

“Are you ready now?”

Rebecca thought for a moment, then said.

“Actually, it’s still not enough, because I’m not ready to talk about it yet.”

“then?”

“But I think you’re going to die if you wait longer…”

The reaction of the two was more shocking than saying that they would die in front of the person concerned.

Agnes and Rebecca had gloomy expressions on their faces.

He seemed to think that my deadline was still unfulfilled.

Only Akshi, who knows that Magi is the cause, is desperately holding back his laughter.

I glanced at her.

Akshi conveyed his intention to tell you with his eyes.

“ha.”

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“First. I have no intention of dying.”

“It’s the same for everyone else. But you…”

“After that, I am no longer a deadline.”

At my next words, Agnes and Rebecca’s eyes widened. They stuttered as if they couldn’t believe what I was saying, and asked.

“I, really?”

“Deron. Are you no longer with the deadline?”

I nodded my head at the question.

“Because the origin of the time-limited period was Magi. As long as the demon king, the subject of the magic period, died, it was no longer a time-limited period.”

Getting to the top level also played a part.

He clenched his fists, adding to the back. It was a blessing to be able to live longer. It was even more so for me, who was forced to extend my life.

“So Rebecca. I can wait for you longer…”

Warak.

And it wasn’t just about me.

Agnes and Rebecca rushed at the same time as I stopped talking. with lots of tears. The two cried and said they were really happy.

I didn’t have to stop doing that. Rather, he made them come to Aksi.

So Aksi, Rebecca, Agnes. All three hugged me. Congratulations on escaping the deadline and getting your life back to normal.

I enjoyed the warmth. My body was always cold as I went through the deadline, and when I was ruled by a magician, my body became hot.

It was a normal feeling that I experienced with a normal body. I patted the three of them with arcs on my lips.

in the future. It was a warmth that I will never forget.
