The journey of dragon transformation starting from Demon Slayer

"Eh?! Why...ah...it hurts..."

After receiving a blow from the light-speed knife on her little head, the girl looked at her sister with tears in her eyes. However, the one who responded to her was Alfia, whose face was expressionless and her eyes were closed.

"No reason."

After forcefully suppressing the girl's thoughts, the unreasonable "Queen" gave her own response.

During this period, the "Three Major Trusts" of Zeus and Hera's Familia failed, the Familia was disbanded and on the verge of total annihilation, and the death of my sister. I dragged my sick body until the age of twenty-four, trying to do evil to promote the future. She, the older sister, did not explain or describe any of these things to the innocent younger sister in front of her as she grew up as a hero.

In recent days, Tazmi could feel that her favor only belonged to Maitria, and he was also aware of her concerns.

Nowadays, the reputation of her "Quiet" from the outside world is not good. Maybe she doesn't care, but it is best for Maitria, who came here from that world, to maintain the innocence she deserves. choose.

She cannot be allowed to be contaminated by the outside world, not even because of herself. That's probably the idea.

But he said that Alfia was really worried too much. Rather than this, it was better to believe in the bond between the two sisters.

What's more dramatic is that the younger sister is less than fourteen years old and the elder sister is twenty-four years old. He can feel the obvious generation gap between them just sitting there.

It is not only a physical gap, it is also clearly reflected in the character.

Compared to sisters, the two of them now look more like mother and daughter. It's like a mother teaching her daughter a lesson, and it looks extremely warm.

It is quite similar to the relationship between Riveria and Ais in this era.

He had seen those two people on the street before, and now this idea came to him inexplicably. Tazmi stood there and nodded secretly.

Noticing Tazmina's 'evil' gaze, Alfia frowned slightly, but since the other party saved her and her sister, she was embarrassed to speak harshly now.

"So you have nothing to say to Erebus?"

"No."

With a calm expression, Alfia replied to Tazmi's question without changing her expression.

They have a contractual relationship, but their relationship is not that good.

"Who is...Erebus?"

"Could it be that...he is the person that my sister likes?"

With her eyes shining brightly, Maitria was very curious.

"Children, don't interrupt when adults are talking x2!"

"..."

Tazmi said helplessly, after all, Maitria had nothing to do with this matter. But Alfia's reaction was quite loud, and her voice was a little harsh.

Hearing what the two said, the white-haired girl panicked and let out a "woo~" sound. Then she hugged her sister in fear and buried her face in the deep canyon on Alfia's chest.

"I, I know...I'm sorry, Alfia..."

Unconsciously, she used the tone of teaching a naughty sister a lesson. When she heard her sister apologize obediently, Alfia's face twitched, and she felt that the impact of the memory confusion in Tazmi's mouth was still there.

When Tazmi saw this scene, she just felt like myocardial infarction, ah no, cardiac arrest, no, it didn't seem right to say that.

Anyway, it's pretty cute. Like a little white rabbit.

But speaking of memory, Alfia recalled another special "memory" about her.

Not from the "past", but from her own "future" memories.

The time was not that long ago, and she vaguely remembered that she was fighting against eleven girls singing "Justice" underground in a purgatory.

There is a jet-black flying dragon behind him, and under the witness of God, the duel between "justice" and "evil" begins.

That was her memory as "evil". In the end, she was defeated. After exerting all her abilities to the fullest, she still bowed to their noble justice.

She did not accept the girls' persuasion to surrender. In order to ensure the integrity of her oath, she took the initiative to jump and was buried in the endless sea of ​​fire underground.

In her memory, she perfectly fulfilled her oath with the "Evil God", caused countless killings, turned herself into huge experience points and gave them to the adventurers, along with the extremely cruel and huge trials.

She was unpardonable, she knew it in her heart.

If it weren't for the man standing by the wall, this would be the future she would have experienced.

Witnessed the dissipation of everything, and finally used himself as the fuel to ignite the fire and entered the destruction together with the old era.

Looking at the well-behaved Maitria, Alfia could not suppress the sudden sadness in her heart. Then she unconsciously stretched out her arms around the girl's waist and held Maitria tightly in her arms.

"Metria..."

"Ok?"

"sorry..."

After my sister said this, the atmosphere in the basement fell into silence for an instant.

Alfia didn't know why she was apologizing. Is it because she failed to defeat the black dragon after her sister died? Once again, she failed to protect her sister, causing her to die at the hands of the black dragon.

Or maybe she was not prepared to live well with her sister's hope.

But she knew this was the only thing she had to say. This was the only feeling she had to face for sure.

This feeling of being lost and found is something that nothing can make up for.

Alfia neither choked nor shed tears, but Tazmi and Maitria knew that she seemed to be crying.

"..."

As a result, the younger sister trembled in her elder sister's arms, and then spoke slowly with a choked voice.

"It's me who should say I'm sorry...I'm sorry...Alfia..."

"I..."

"Once again, I'm one step ahead of you..."

The younger sister's emotions were even richer, and before she finished speaking, her sky-blue eyes shed tears as big as beans.

Once again, this word is very intriguing. It seems that my sister also dreamed of fragments of memories of her passing away somewhere.

Seeing them hugging each other tightly, Tazmi leaned against the wooden door and gave them enough "silence" while thinking about the disadvantages of connecting individual memories in countless parallel worlds.

--------

In the end, Alfia and Metria decided to go to the dungeon with Tazmi.

During this period, Tazmi asked Alfia the reason for her sudden change of mind, but she was always put off by the other party.

It's not that she has anything to talk about with the evil god. She has nothing to say to that god. Everything is just a deal proposed by the god about the future of the lower world, a cooperation that allows them to become the pedal of the world.

This deal was made by both parties, but there is no so-called binding or agreement in the contract itself. It all depends on the individual.

If she was about to die, there would be no problem in agreeing, but now that her "disease" was cured and her sister was still with her, there was no difference between asking for death and being brainless.

And she was worried that her "pure" sister would follow this guy next to her.
