The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

Since then, the five people who have decided on a new goal have become increasingly busy.

April is in charge of further perfecting the key spells, and her childhood friend Fuono is helping her.

Iluna volunteered to inquire about the news and purchase supplies by the way.It is said that Catherine spent most of her time in the library, and Giulia guessed that she might be investigating the weakness of the Demon King or something like that.

As for her-

"Here... is it?"

Even though there was no wind, the white curtains fluttered as if being blown.

Then, a pure white shadow that was too illusory to be real appeared in the room.

First make sure of the location of Dezhi Tifa, and then if possible, try to have a public conversation to extract more information.

——She said that she and you are not enemies, and she should already know our plan, so there is no need to hide it, and the other party should have no reason to lie, so don't be overly vigilant and suspicious.

Recalling the result of the discussion with the others earlier, Giulia clenched her hands calmly.

"It should be the third meeting, Mrs. Saintess...or is it more appropriate to call her Miss Bai Ye?"

Not being overwhelmed by the joy of predicting the success of the comer, Yulia knew that this was just the beginning.

The dark gray pupils of the girl, who was almost white from head to toe, turned slightly to the left, as if she was thinking about how to answer.

"Please."

The flat voice starts flat and ends quickly before the silence stretches to an unnatural length.

It means that it doesn't matter what the matter is.

Giulia automatically made the translation in her mind.

"Then, please tell me where the Demon King is."

No longer being polite, Giulia made a straightforward request.

When the vampire was asked the same question earlier without expectations, the answer was that he didn't know.For some other inquiries, Elena said that someone would tell her.So, this time——

"Before that," Bai Ye looked at the person in front of him blankly, "Can you promise to fulfill the duty of a brave man and fulfill the righteousness of defeating the devil king?"

The pure and white figure was solemn and sacred, Giulia almost had the illusion of facing a god for a moment.But she still calmed down and asked questions without answering:

"Why are you so insistent on letting me defeat the Demon King?"

After a brief silence, the pure white girl stated calmly:

"Maintaining the rules of the world is our responsibility."

"And Elena?"

Regarding Giulia's question, Bai Ye remained silent for a few seconds longer than last time before saying:

"She is different from us."

After another period of silence, Giulia asked unwillingly:

"You have to accept this fate even though you didn't do anything... Isn't that unfair to her?"

"It's her choice."

Hearing this answer, Giulia squeezed out a smile that was closer to crying, and looked seriously into the eyes of the person in front of her.

"What if... I don't do it?"

——Please consider carefully.

— there will be others.

……

All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind one by one, but they were all eliminated one by one, Bai Ye thought, she probably understood what kind of answer the other party needed.

If the Demon King is not defeated——

"The distortion of the world will intensify."

The pure and white saint uttered cruel and realistic words that declared the innocence of a young girl to be shattered.

"What about it?"

Even so, Giulia chose to ask.

"So--"

Bai Ye raised his right arm that was hanging by his side, and one after another, gray pictures emerged continuously, in front of his eyes, above his head, under his feet... Gradually filled his entire field of vision.

In the ever-changing picture, only Bai Ye's figure remained standing in place.

"Tragedies, wars, retrogression of civilization...and then to the end—that is the end of the world." She folded her hands together and looked up at the picture hanging directly above, "Before then, if there are no accidents, the Demon King It will probably collapse first because it cannot bear the distortion."

"Why only now?"

Giulia's gaze swept across the pictures showing disaster scenes, and finally fixed on the one directly above.

What was shown on it was—an unknown demon king, with empty eyes, irrationally destroying everything around him indiscriminately, and finally being killed by the hero.

"Is this also... the rules of the world?"

Giulia looked at all this, her voice almost whispered.

The girl in white didn't make a sound, as if by default.

If, without learning about that magic, without successfully completing its structure——

What kind of fate she would face at that time, Julia couldn't imagine, and she didn't want to think about it.

So should you be grateful?

Or, could even this be arranged?

"Will that magic work?"

Even though she knew maybe she shouldn't ask, Giulia couldn't help but ask this question.

"I don't know," Bai Ye shook his head, and added, "But, from..."

"Don't say it!"

Giulia suddenly regretted and interrupted her.

——Theoretically speaking, it is impossible to achieve the kind of results originally envisaged.

Bai Ye silently swallowed the unspoken words.

"If you don't know anything, it is equivalent to having infinite possibilities."

Giulia's voice seemed ethereal from far away.

Having decided to do it, then one cannot be bound by unnecessary words here.

While they were talking, the countless pictures in all directions gradually blurred and collapsed, and after that, a piece of gray and white emerged as the pictures disappeared.

Suddenly realizing the reason for this unnatural scene, Yulia frowned and looked at Bai Ye in confusion.

"Why, meet me in this way."

"...Because the only two exchanges with you before seemed to be unsuccessful." The white girl stared at her, her face still expressionless, "So, I think——if it was in a dream, wouldn't it be easier? Is it easy to understand each other?"

"That kind of thing, how is it possible!"

Giulia denied it almost without hesitation, looking at Bai Ye who could vaguely see doubts in her eyes, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Mutual understanding of this kind of thing is extremely simple and complicated.

It's so simple that sometimes you can do it with just one look, but it's so complicated that sometimes you can't convey each other's ideas correctly even if you spend a lifetime.

So, sometimes it doesn't make sense.

"...At least, when talking to others, smile."

Finally Giulia looked at the person in front of her, and said the words received from Iluna.

"Then, listen up." At the end of the dream, Bai Ye pulled up the corners of his mouth with both hands, making himself show a very unnatural smile, "Where is the devil king——"

Before the artificial smile gradually blurred until it disappeared completely, Giulia heard the name of a place.

Then, the dream ends.
