The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

61 – Scene 061# Bystander

*

Myoheil asks an unexpected question.

I paused for a moment and opened my mouth.

“… I know roughly.”

“Ohh… ? That is a bit surprising.”

So far, only two demon lords have appeared in this world.

The first demon king is repulsed by the hero and his companions. And the 2nd Demon King was defeated by heroes from all over the world, led by the hero Alonso Isaac Hell.

It’s a thing of the distant past.

Nevertheless, it was still passed down through fairy tales and traditions among the people of the empire.

Of course, most of them are stories about warriors and heroes, not demon kings.

Therefore, Myoheil’s question had no choice but to be regarded as strange.

Myoheil said while fiddling with his beard.

“History does not remember the Demon King. I only remember the stories of warriors and heroes.”

“History is like that.”

“you’re right. History is written by the victors. hahahaha… .”

Since it was a cat, it was difficult to infer his emotions, but I thought that Myoheil might be making a bitter expression right now.

Considering his age, he must have seen not only the two demon kings, but also the warrior and the hero.

Maybe Myoheil knows the truth that history doesn’t remember.

That must be the painful truth.

Because people want to believe in a happy lie rather than a painful truth.

“The devil is a person who rebels against God. In other words, they are sinners who violate the world’s providence set by God. That is why they are also called enemies of the world.”

“You talk a lot today. Myoheil.”

I cut him off there.

Because I didn’t like talking round and round.

“If there is anything you want to say to me, just say it.”

“this. This old man’s gossip is getting longer. heh heh heh You’re also quick to notice. It’s nothing special, there’s only one thing I want to ask the Count… .”

Myohail’s eyes looked up at me.

I couldn’t read his expression this time either.

“… Last time, the count said something interesting in the underground treasury.”

But the next moment, the words that came out of his mouth caught me off guard.

“Then, isn’t what the Count will do from now on against God?”

I stood there and looked at Myohail.

As the sun completely set, darkness enveloped the two of us.

In the darkness, only Myoheil’s eyes were shining.

It was the first time that the sharp eyes unique to cats felt as dangerous as today.

“Rebellion against God… ?”

“Don’t you know? To resurrect the dead is to defy God’s providence. I thought it was just a joke at the time, but if the Count is preparing so sincerely, it will be difficult to tolerate it any longer.”

“… Do I look like the type to joke about?”

“Could that be? hahahaha. But it has to be a joke.”

Myohail’s hand cut through the air.

At that moment, the wind that was blowing against me stopped.

I realized that I was trapped in a space created by Myoheil’s magic.

“Otherwise, the old man might have to restrain the count with his own hands.”

“… I knew you didn’t meddle in worldly affairs.”

“hahahaha. I am the body that eats the rust of the imperial family. We cannot ignore those who threaten the imperial family and this country.”

indeed… . First of all, is Myohail also on the side of the imperial family?

It’s a pretty troubling situation.

Myoheil is originally a thorough bystander character.

In the original work, he would give advice even if the main character asked for it, but he never stepped forward.

That’s why I didn’t think Myohai would interfere with me.

Myohail began interrogating me, who was cornered.

“If the Count wasn’t joking at the time, are you sure you intend to touch the taboo of raising the dead?”

But I had no intention of leaving now.

I replied with ‘Pride’.

“yes. Their lives are mine. I will also do what I want to bring back to life.”

“You are arrogant. hahahaha… . Are you saying you are not afraid of God?”

My annoyance soared when I thought of that guy’s face in paradise.

“… A bastard like that has never been afraid.”

“her… … .”

Even Myoheil was at a loss for words at my words so disrespectful.

In another world, God is depicted as a being worshiped and as an absolute being who bestows magic and magical powers on humans.

But to me who knows the identity of God, it’s just an annoying existence.

Not to mention, even Tristan, who was cursed and had no magic, could not have any respect for God.

Myohail quietly opened his mouth.

“The Count… . Are you really going to become the demon king of this generation?”

“I will, if necessary.”

“… Even though it might even turn the world into an enemy?”

“yes. I will, if need be.”

“… … .”

Myohail kept his mouth shut.

A heavy silence settled between us.

I was troubled.

If Myohail uses magic, my personality will be neutralized in an instant.

The ancient magic of the moon is still far from being able to deal with the sage.

Should I be caught like this?

While thinking about it, Myoheil’s mouth finally opened.

“hahahaha… . I wonder if I should call it Millium’s son…”

At that moment, I felt the wind.

Myohail had canceled the barrier.

At the same time, the suffocating hostility towards me disappeared.

And Myohail yawned and said, as if it had always happened.

“I know very well what the Count was thinking. Do what you like from now on.”

“… … Are you planning not to inform the imperial family?”

“hahahaha… . I lied a little earlier. What the Count said earlier is correct. I turned my back on the world a long time ago. It is none of my business what happens to the imperial family or this country.”

It was a cold word.

I only knew the setting for Myoheil. That’s why it was impossible to know what Myoheil’s life had been like.

but… . Seeing that he didn’t show up even when the players stormed in, his words of turning away from the world must be true.

“This is a secret, but long ago this old man destroyed an entire country in a fit of rage. I did what a demon king would do… .”

There was remorse in the voices heard in the dark.

It was like a deep sadness that I dare not understand.

“From then on, I have no regrets in this world. no… . no do not correct You recently had one.”

As if remembering a happy event, Myoheil said with an easygoing smile.

“Heh heh heh. I recently had a cute disciple. That guy is annoying to me. As long as the Count doesn’t touch my cute student, I don’t care.”

“… You talk relentlessly. I don’t think Wendy is the only disciple.”

“Oh, Mondry is disgusting because he is old. And he knows how to find his way. One string is tenacious, and will survive the end of the world. Heh heh heh.”

It was said that he did not know the future to come, but I just shook my head as if I couldn’t stop it.

You won’t believe the tragedy that will happen next year anyway.

I knew from the start that it would be a lonely fight.

At least, it was a big help since Myoheil had declared that he would not interfere with me.

As I thought, he was a bystander from the beginning.

“I said earlier that history is written by the victors. It would be fun to overwrite the history of the demon lord in this world once in a while. hahahaha… .”

Perhaps, if Myohai had a human body, he would have had the expression of a sage with a philosophical view of the world.

“Is that all you want to tell me?”

“Yes. This old man must go. It’s time for my cute pupil to take care of the meal. Heh heh heh.”

Myoheil passed me with a light gesture and slithered toward the mansion like a normal cat.

Looking at that scene, maybe Myoheil didn’t even intend to stop me from the beginning.

I thought so.

At that time, Myoheil’s voice came from behind.

“… In my long life, I have seen many who have attempted to resuscitate the dead. And I know their words as well.”

I couldn’t tell if he was talking to himself or if he was talking to me.

But I could tell that the last words were to me.

“… I hope you will have a different ending from them.”

“… … yes.”

I don’t know if you heard my answer, but when I looked back, Myohail’s figure had completely disappeared in the darkness.

“Should I do something soon… .”

I stopped in front of a tree in front of the lake.

It looked like an ordinary tree, but it was actually a kind of magical device.

It was similar to the one in the underground treasury, but it was assigned a user from the beginning.

When I reached out, the thick wood swallowed my hand.

Before long, I faced a staircase disguised as a tree in front of me.

After going down the stairs that stretched down deep, the space beneath the lake eventually came into view.

It wasn’t as much as the treasure chest, but there were several magic tools neatly arranged in a fairly large space.

It is a sturdy workshop built with a huge amount of money.

It is possible to work secretly here.

Just then, Albert, who spotted me, raised his head from his desk.

“Oh oh… . Is the count here? You’re a little late.”

“What were you doing?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been working on it, so I’ve been relaxing a bit. I was drawing some spells on small objects for exercise. Would you like to see it?”

Taking off his glasses, Albert held out a thin ring to me.

“It was made as a demonstration a while ago.”

At first glance, it was an ordinary silver ring.

However, upon closer inspection, the ring was filled with spells the size of a grain of rice.

Seeing how many spells were written on such a small object, I could clearly feel his strength.

Albert boasted, perhaps reading my thoughts.

“How is it? A small amount of mana was inscribed with the magic formula. It’s disposable, but it’s a magic tool that can come in handy when you’re in a hurry.”

“Well… .”

I nodded and tried to put the ring on my finger.

Unfortunately, the ring size was a bit small, so it didn’t fit my finger.

Seeing that, Albert groaned with an expression of regret.

“Oh no, I made a mistake… . I made the wrong size… . ugh I’m sorry. I will make it again right away.”

“It doesn’t really matter.”

Albert, who had been boasting until now, scratched his head as if he was embarrassed.

Even craftsmen can make mistakes.

I tried to give the ring back without thinking, but Albert shook his hand.

“Oh, who would rather give that to? It’s a good thing, so it’s not a waste.”
