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

"Just wait." After a brief moment of hesitation, she said, "Anyway, 'they' will definitely not sit idly by."

"Then, after this... just accept the original fate like this?" Yulia slowly stood up, staring down at her from a height, her voice was low and serious, "I just ask Once, Tifa, you are—you want to live, you don't want to be attacked, you want to live happily, right?"

"But...that's not allowed."

The brown-haired demon king just looked away.

"Happy, alive, if possible, I...Of course I want to live."

The brave man with black hair and black eyes said calmly.

"……That is!"

The moment she heard what the other party said, Tifa immediately realized that it was—mind reading.Then she saw a very reassuring smile on Giulia's face:

"Tifa has done it to me before—more than once, so even it out."

"..."

Tifa was speechless.

"Although I don't know why you are not honest, but instead of pursuing the reason, I just need to know your sincerity." Giulia pressed her chest with a wry smile, "Because I don't want to be self-righteous just because I might be wrong. Actions are hated - and it's such a coward in the end."

"What the hell... do you want to do?"

It was the first time Giulia saw Tifa showing such a flustered expression, and her usual calm smile completely disappeared.Thinking that it was all because of her words, while feeling sorry, she couldn't help but feel a little joy in her heart.

"That's why I said, I'm the devil now." Giulia closed her eyes, and when she opened them again she looked serious, without any confusion, "——No matter what the contract or fate, everything is up to me. "

"... Hagito," Tifa looked at her dully as if she had never realized that her figure could be so reliable, "You...why?"

"Because I... that," Yulia not only lowered her voice, coughed twice unnaturally, looked away, and whispered, "I want to repay your kindness."

"Those complicated, painful, and sad feelings." She took a deep breath and looked directly into the other person's eyes again, "Now, I can feel it too, okay?"

She continued in an inexplicably brisk tone:

"So, I can probably understand why at that time you said that sometimes you felt that the world would just be destroyed."

"Wait! Why... are you serious?" Tifa looked at her unacceptably, "Even if the price is life?"

"—Actually, I once thought that it wouldn't matter if I simply died now." Giulia said this with a very shallow smile, so faint that people who saw it couldn't help it I wonder if that's just my illusion.

"Although it's impossible to be without regrets, I don't have any special attachments—life to me is just such a thing."

She looked towards the unknown distance, and recalled with a little nostalgia:

"I still remember when I was young, I always thought that the bigger the number, the better, so I selfishly hoped that even the most important person would live a second longer than him."

"However, it didn't take me long to realize that the most unacceptable thing I can accept is the unimaginable future of losing a close person." Tifa was sure, and Giulia was indeed smiling at this time, " So don't think about it, just ignore it as a nightmare that won't happen."

"But the reality will always remind me how naive and cruel I am." Tifa was obviously smiling, but felt that the person in front of him seemed to be crying in the next second, "So now, I am still selfish. I hope, I only hope that I can usher in death as soon as possible.”

"Hagisu." So she finally couldn't bear to call out that name, stood up and took a few steps forward and grabbed the shoulders of the person who was close at hand, "As long as you are alive, good things will definitely happen. Absolutely, I promise you ensure."

"Well, I know." Giulia looked at the familiar face so close that her breath could be heard, still smiling, she blinked to disperse the mist that had not yet condensed, and couldn't help but lower her voice, " Because it has already happened."

"So, I'm really happy—I'm so happy that I'm satisfied." Giulia smiled wildly, as if she wanted to use up all the smiles she had accumulated so far and reserved for the future, "I don't want anything else. "

"Why?" Tifa stared blankly at the pair of pitch-black pupils, her voice was incredulous, "For me like this, sacrificing to such a degree is of no benefit at all, isn't it?"

"It's not useless." Eyes met, Giulia retorted, "Because, I... like Tifa the most."

From the past to the present, at the beginning of this return, I can finally reveal the true meaning in my heart.Putting aside all the past, there is no need to worry about each other's identities, and there is no need to cover up each other.

"...!" Tifa's eyes widened because of this sudden and overly straightforward kindness, and then she was at a loss.

"Why are you crying?"

Looking at the face of the person in front of her with a distorted smile and wet eyes, she raised her hand to wipe away the teardrops, and finally smiled like a short-lived epiphyllum.

"Thank you." The hand that wiped away the tears went up to the top of the person in front of him, "I didn't expect Hagisu to say this, but I'm very happy." She withdrew her hand, "The brave is Hagisu, it's great. "

"However, one's own destiny must always be borne by oneself." She looked at her, and her firm voice rose somewhat, "Also, I can't accept the future obtained by sacrificing Hagisu ...this kind of thing, I already knew it."

"It's because of such a gentle Hagi, that's why it's even worse." She stretched out her index finger, and gently touched the lips of the other party who wanted to say something, "But, it's great to have you here. "

"...Tifa."

Giulia, unwilling to reconcile, stared at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes, but her body leaned towards him weakly.

Tifa glanced at the side of her flushed face, and finally realized what was happening. She held Giulia's back with one hand, and moved towards her gently.

The moment their foreheads touched, they felt scalding heat.

—She has a fever.

It didn't take Tifa even a second to come to this fact.

In the next instant, the earth spun.

It's like throwing a stone into the calm water, and everything around becomes blurred and turbulent. In a split second, people even lose sight of the day and night, just like in a dream.

In an instant, a variety of pictures flew past her eyes, and she seemed to see long light brown hair, deep black pupils and pointed ears of elves.

Then, everything ends and everything begins.

The author has something to say:

There are piles of papers that haven't been done yet, next week... no, the exam the day after tomorrow.

Tears and meows, when the book is in use, there will be little hatred, and there is more than enough heart but not enough strength.
