10. i love you

what do you mean

… do you need

what to do with luck

“… … .”

In fact, Kariel had nothing to say.

Not even bothering to ask about Elhermina.

Also curious.

Even now he lies in the wilderness.

Pale and fleetingly discolored.

In a space where even color has been lost.

He was just chasing something.

“… … .”

but.

Even so, it was different from before.

If you give up everything.

… The contract signed with the demon lord will work.

[one. Kariel must defeat Rueld, the hero and her own father, and win the victory or defeat.]

“… … .”

It doesn’t matter.

But the extra content that clung to it.

[If you break or lose this resolution, you will be left with the most unfortunate and painful despair in the world.

Even after death, this will forever be with him and everyone he cares about.

This continues until the day his veins disappear.

(This does not apply to his father, Rueld, and his mother, Ermina, to his future younger brother.)]

It has nothing to do with parents or siblings.

The demon lord probably thought that if he ties up with him, he might choose to commit suicide in order to get revenge on the contrary.

You must have made an exception for your parents and siblings.

in reality.

Kariel also thought of that kind of retaliation for a moment.

Surprisingly, I thought of it often.

If you don’t like me like that

What if I die in front of you?

By the way.

It’s such a funny assumption, though.

Even if it cuts off your breath at once.

… Mother will bring herself back to life.

Thinking about that, even suicide was an exception.

Then die in a harsh place?

after I die?

You can’t see their reaction, can you?

It was a small egotism and close to regret.

Even because of that.

I couldn’t even choose to commit suicide satisfactorily.

And now.

I started to be afraid to interact with anyone.

if i don’t succeed

In the end, it’s my own misfortune, and it won’t end in despair.

maybe someone could say that

Just because of the maid, because of the working commoner girl, will you make up your mind? Are you insane?

‘Does not matter.’

even that maid.

Even if it was a small light.

Because I did not forget that warmth.

It’s different from love.

Just as human to human.

Because I just had a hard time enduring the sight of someone being unhappy because of me.

“I love you.”

“… … .”

… … ?

… … … … ??

“What?”

“You seem to be a little more conscious now.”

… Was that woman kidding?

There was no change in expression, so I wondered if I was hearing hallucinations.

“What I just said is my sincerity. You didn’t hear anything wrong, so there’s no need to act like you didn’t hear.”

“… for a moment. wait a minute.”

What is this all of a sudden?

“So, I’m sorry.”

sorry?

“sorry… Do you?”

“I.”

why there

with eyes tightly closed.

The guy who was silent and locked up.

I let out a short silence.

Again, I opened my eyes.

“I’m not around words, Kariel. You know it well.”

“… … .”

The old-fashioned way of speaking is gone, so it definitely looks like something is missing.

The unique sense of intimidation surrounding him was still there.

Is it the same as his respect as a ruler?

“My biggest miscalculation is this. I arbitrarily overestimated you.”

“Excessive… evaluation?”

“Yes. So, I made the foolish mistake of believing so blindly that even if I didn’t protect you, you would gladly kick out and get up.”

“… … .”

“It’s not just me. Her Majesty was like that, and so was my mother. Lord Bariel had no doubts, and Uncle Rueld too. Ermina… My aunt would be a little different, though.”

“… … .”

“But in the end, it cannot be denied that it was our fault that brought the situation to this point.”

“you… It won’t matter.”

Kariel responded in a calm tone.

Even if I dare to mention that day five years ago.

At least because you weren’t there at the time.

By the time you returned to the system, the situation had already been resolved.

“Even so, I admit that I cannot be free from the original sin of neglecting you.”

“… It’s my face, you say I didn’t stop Alexius? Why do you say original sin after you just confessed with your mouth like that?”

“So, didn’t you become unhappy as a result?”

“… … .”

Was this guy talking so blatantly?

Although the expression of emotions was clumsy, the sincerity was clearly conveyed.

The appearance of the guy that I always saw was indifferent itself, not feeling any emotion at all.

Even more so in arduous physical training.

Even though he was sweating, his expression didn’t change even for a moment.

Even within the academy right now, even teachers could learn a thing from her.

… They were not in a position where they could give advice or give advice.

Because he was already a great man who could not be approached at the academy stage.

At least, if it was a magic system, the position would be a little different.

Even he was beyond the realm of simple genius.

“I know that Erath and you had the same dream.”

“… … .”

“And that’s what you said to me too after you returned to your country.”

that is unexpected

“I? with you?”

“… It seems your memory is hazy, too.”

Somewhere, beyond regret, the guy with the corners of his mouth shaking as if he was a little sad.

“Didn’t you tell me that you wanted to go on an adventure?”

When I went out, the world was really wide… There are many places to go. want to see a lot

“Even unexplored territory not marked on the map, the land of martyrdom. the ceiling of the mountain range. end of the sea. To the edge of the sky.”

Other than that, it’s the land of the martyr who heats up everything as if he’s about to die.

Even the land of death wrapped in the unknown.

In fact, I wonder if we are ignorant and fearful, and vaguely reluctant.

“You told me.”

And that.

Because he planted another dream and hope in me too.

“… … I don’t remember.”

Kariel became strangely awkward, and had no choice but to reply as if he were stuttering.

she didn’t care

“Okay. At that time, you were seriously ill.”

From those words, I had a bit of an idea of what time it was.

“We don’t know what happened, because Lord Rueld was silent, but the fact that the elves were especially difficult for us because of that. The point of making concessions.”

And at that time.

“The story that Lord Rueld almost cut the World Tree to pieces, and that it wasn’t just a joke. I heard it personally from His Majesty.”

“… … .”

a story you don’t know

One thing’s for sure though.

The fact that the journey where I was called as a hostage for the last time in the country of the elves has come to an end.

waking up at some point

I was suddenly back in the empire.

By the way, the world tree?

-Right.

Was that the culprit?

– I did, just in case.

suddenly.

From a position where you can look down on the wooded ground.

The demon king looked up at the night sky, which was even higher than that.

I asked

-Did the inspirations already know?

… … .

… … … .

-under. I have nothing else to ask.

What do you expect from ghosts and the like?

However, it seems that the symptoms were relatively less in the heart of the empire, inside the imperial capital.

The Demon King looked up into the air again and let out a small laugh.

government ordinance?

Something like that… government ordinance?

Even though the body has long since disappeared.

Read at readwn. com

Vomiting is concentrated in the temple.

-Anyway, is it the same as mitigating?

Is there such a thing as a coincidence?

is not it? Is this even inevitable under the guise of a coincidence? scheduled harmony?

Would it be correct to say that the ground was good rather than who decided and intended it?

There.

– Even the inspirations were desperate without knowing it?

… … .

… … … .

– Kkeuk!

In a way, the Demon King is nothing more than a specter.

However, there is a difference between them.

Because the level of existence is different.

There are also fundamental differences in aptitude.

In the first place, with the poor people who maintain their identities only by being bound by the laws of matter.

Certainly not with us, who grow up without an identity in the first place and then establish an identity for one reason or another.

– There is bound to be a difference.

By the way, things get interesting.

I never thought that princess would punch me in the face for an open confession.

-It’s a good time.

But.

I’m really sorry.

… It’s too late.

Even if Kariel accepts that confession.

Now, the guy is in a position where he has to roll the wheel without stopping.

Rather, it is your confession.

To the embers of his complacency and futility.

It will be like fanning the agonizing name of desperation.

Soon the fire will come alive.

Even if you weren’t there anyway, there was a child who gave me the opportunity earlier.

‘Because I knew fear.’

If I didn’t know, wouldn’t I have been happy for a while?

that is ignorance.

Sometimes, sweeter than the nectar of sweet berries.

But, now I know.

Now that he knew it, Kariel couldn’t give up.

Those who sincerely tried to be for themselves.

If you inadvertently imagine that all of them will be mercilessly plunged into the abyss of screaming, let alone purgatory.

At that time, it would be impossible to even get frustrated.

It’s a guy’s tendency, if it’s by nature.

‘There’s something else to forget.’

However, there was nothing else I couldn’t understand.

that much.

I would have thought that there was no regrets in the world.

Because I thought there was no specific, yet precious relationship with someone.

But that’s something you don’t know.

Maybe it’s just that you don’t remember.

Whereby.

If your frustration eventually leads to their indiscriminate despair.

Will you be able to laugh happily even then?

or.

can i cry?

—-

I don’t know why, but beyond the cold sweat, wet sweat dripped down my face.

I feel like I’m forgetting something, but just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Fear rides up all over my body from the tip of my toes, pressing down on my shoulders.

My tongue stiffened, and my jaw automatically trembled.

“Kariel?”

“… … .”

Even though it’s not the same pride.

The call brought me back to my senses, albeit slightly.

It’s obvious what to do here.

did not forget

take a deep breath.

just take a deep breath.

keep your back up

taking a deep breath in.

yeah, like always

When the mental state is disturbed, the breath collapses first.

So, breathe… .

“… … ?”

Who did I learn this from?

[Don’t panic. from breathing slowly. thousand to thousand. You don’t have to think about anything.]

If you continue like that, when your breathing is refined, your troubled mind will naturally subside.

So.

“… … .”

weird.

I’ve only just stepped out of the system.

I felt very strange.

Did I feel relaxed after hearing Elhermina’s unexpected confession?

why… .

“So, let’s go back.”

However.

At that sound, my disturbed mind was awakened at once.

“… That’s not it.”

amazingly.

A sane answer came out from her lips.

The blurred gaze is corrected.

The blurry world in front of my eyes becomes clearer.

that’s the original look.

In the forest where it is so dark.

The damp scent of the forest quickly awakened my mind, which was about to become dull.

“That’s troublesome.”

I asserted
