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

I don't know how long I have wandered between chaos and nothingness, and I have lost the concept of time. It may only be for a moment, but it seems to have traveled through an infinite river of time.

When the consciousness is clear, everything before the eyes has been turned upside down.

"Is it back...?"

Giulia looked at the black-haired and black-eyed Demon King, and bit her lower lip unwillingly. Before she could calm down the anxiety that surfaced in her heart, she noticed a subtle difference from the originally imagined situation in the next moment.

"No, I can still sense the familiar, and I still have the authority to command——I am still the devil king."

"That part of the synaesthesia hasn't recovered yet?"

Tifa frowned imperceptibly, and turned to look at the Moon Elf who appeared a few steps away at some point.

"You did it?"

"Well," the petite figure wrapped in a large robe shook his head, "Is that right? I'm not sure either."

She looked at Tifa, who was dissatisfied with her vague answer, with a smile on her face, and said lightly:

"However, in any case, it is a good thing for the two of you not to fully recover, right?"

Giulia and Tifa belatedly realized the hidden danger, and their faces turned pale in an instant.

"Ah, I'm very sorry for frightening you two." The Moon Elf leaned forward, and then clenched a fist with one hand to her mouth, "However, you two are a little too relaxed."

"My name is Diona——Diona of the Moon." She pulled down her hood, revealing long light-colored hair and a pair of moon-colored pupils. Her overly fair skin and petite body gave people A weak and harmless feeling, "This time I came here to discuss the future with the two of you."

"... Discuss, shall we?" Giulia stared at her rare face for a few seconds, showing her distrust unabashedly, and hooked the corners of her lips with a little sarcasm, "I thought you would at least say It's a suggestion."

"Please don't be so nervous, I have no intention of harming the two of you, and I have no intention of being an enemy to you." Diona's voice was calm and stable, "If not, I wouldn't be standing here like this now. "

"Then, what do you think?"

Giulia walked up to Tifa without leaving a trace, and said this to the Moon Elf.

"Please don't worry, we—at least I have no intention or courage to harm the Demon King." Diona smiled wryly, "I believe that no one will use my body to rashly destroy the twisted carrier. Will hope to see."

"So, do you need heroes?"

Giulia lowered her eyes and said clearly.

"That's right. It's not easy to find someone with the physique of a brave man in this world that is constantly accumulating distortions. That's why we summoned you." Contrary to the somewhat childish voice of the Moon Elf , her tone was very steady, "In a sense, the physiques of the brave and the devil are very similar, which is why your spell is successful."

"You guys already knew about the existence of this spell?"

Tifa was puzzled at this moment, and the vision of the child-like Moon Elf was very complicated.

"Are we...? I think at least some people know about it." Diona smiled at her, "After all, some of us are seeking change."

"After all, in fact, none of us can guarantee that we can find the contractor smoothly every time before the distortion accumulates to the limit." She explained to the surprised two people with a helpless tone, "although It's going well, but who can predict the future? We can't pin all our hopes on the contractor showing up at the right time every time."

"You who lived in a different world should be aware of it?" Diona said to Giulia, "This world is a bit too simple."

"Although we have tried our best to reduce disputes, spread beliefs, and establish systems for thousands of years...do everything we can." The Moon Elf said sadly, "But after all, it is an incomplete fragment, no matter how much it is repaired, it has returned Not as it was when it was intact."

Finally she returned to the original question:

"About that spell, the original creator actually hoped to use it to escape from this world."

"You mean to say that the original effect of the spell cast on us is to travel through the world barrier?"

"To be precise, that's just an assumption, because under the rules, it is impossible to allow this kind of taboo to exist. Leaving aside the summoning from another world to this world, the spell from this world to another world is already incomplete for this world." This world is absolutely unacceptable." Diana replied to Tifa's doubts, "Although there are reasons why you have modified it, this spell will change to the current effect, which is really a coincidence."

"...Then, is Fuono's condition also related to this?"

Giulia couldn't help but think of the girl with a strange ability who insisted that she was dreaming.

"Probably, it is the result of the coincidence of the semi-finished spell."

The Moon Elf confirmed her guess.

"You guys, are you going to research a method that can truly cross the world barrier and leave this world?"

——These people are planning to give up this world.

Unceasingly analyzing her words in her mind, Tifa came to this conclusion and at the same time some inexplicable emotions flashed past.

It looks sad, but lighter than that; it seems helpless, but lighter than that.

After all, it is for continuation.

"...I don't know." The Moon Elf just shook his head, "It's just that it's time to make some changes. If we continue to follow the previous pace, what's waiting for us will only be the end—the one that's nearly ten thousand years late. In the end."

"That kind of thing is too far away for me." Yulia looked at her unwaveringly, "I just want to know, what should we do?"

After being silent for a while, Diona said to her seriously: "Listen, because of the previous spell, the rules on your bodies have been shared, and the distortion that had reached the limit has returned to the sustainable range because of the doubling of the container." Guilt, but from now on, distortions will continue to gather on you."

"All I can do is the innocuous part of exchanging contact with the body. If you don't find a fundamental solution to everything, the fate waiting for you in the end is either to be killed by the other party, or to be crusaded by the new brave."

"The contractor who was originally the devil over there already knows, so I mainly tell you that there is a very important rule about twisted convergence: the more complete the world is, the more prosperous it can be said one-sidedly. It is easier to produce distortion, and the closer the distance, the easier it is for the distortion to converge on the devil—in short, the wider the range of activities, the faster the convergence speed of the distortion will be. This is why the devil almost always lives in seclusion in the misty forest reason."

"So, there are two options before you."

The Moon Spirit declared.
