Chapter 37

Healing circle ( Recovery circle )

After finishing the battle with Victor, all the parties recover. As a result, there was no major damage, but there were many scenes that cooled the liver. No, I was able to fight and win against the former Demon King’s aides. It can be said that it is a great war.

“Well, are you still alive?”

The point I asked was Victor, the opponent who had fought hard. She lost her temporary arms and made three holes in her body and fell on her back. So-called drowning.

“Yes … unfortunately, I still have a breath …”

“Oh, that’s right”

I have no ambition when I met, and I am about to finish my long life.

“But there’s something I want to hear before I talk”

“… what is it?”

“Did you not really try to eat the devil’s daughter?”

I noticed in the middle of the battle, but Victor was careful not to hit the sealed devil when launching the attack. Even if the attack of the devil, Victor, hits the seal, a person who does not have human characteristics cannot destroy the seal and even touch a woman. There is no habit of not knowing that you were saying it before the battle.

“Khufu … Awaken …”

“Why did you tell such a lie? You can’t afford anything”

“Oh, if you don’t, don’t come seriously, let’s come …? And I was entrusted to Gustav-sama …”

Victor speaks slowly.

“My life will not be long anymore … Scratch and talk …”

The end of the battle between past heroes and the Demon King.

— The Demon King Gustav was a tyrant. Since his ambition became a demon king, he invaded territories in other countries and repeated wars. One day people start calling him the Demon King, and finally the hero is summoned and the Demon King is defeated.

Gustav was domineering and even feared by his subjects, but there was only one who forgave his heart. Sera is the only daughter. What I said after my wife passed away in the war was that the fondness was remarkable. A thorough swing that never appears in the front world, only the aides know even the existence of a daughter. Sera doesn’t know the world. Only a limited number of demons have conversations.

Gustav was convinced of defeat when the human army led by the brave entered Gustav’s castle. The Devil Four Heavenly Kings were defeated in various places, and only Victor, the caretaker of Sera, remained. The strength was overwhelmingly insufficient. Gustav was not worried about himself or the country, and he was worried about the safety of his daughter. The hero is imminent. If you know the existence of your daughter, Sera will have no life.

Gustav sealed Sera as a bitter plan and was imprisoned during the transfer. The seal stops her physical time and invites her to sleep deeply. When Gustav himself dies, the transfer magic circle is automatically activated and transferred to the hideout. When that happens, the seal chain has an effect that only humans can unlock. Like heroes, demons and monsters could have aimed her. In that case, it is only necessary to work to release the seal using a human being who is a weak race as a whole. Fortunately, Sera is not as good as Victor, but she is also a demon. Unless your opponent is also a hero, you will never lose.

Gustav orders Victor to protect Sera before confronting the hero. Victor intended to fight with Gustav and opposed it. But when I saw Gustav’s face, I couldn’t help following it. The Demon King Gustav, who was so feared, had the face of his father, which he had never seen before. Victor is officially appointed and departs to a retreat where Serra will be transferred.

It was two days later that I heard that the Demon King Gustav was struck by a brave man. Victor suppresses the bound mind and succeeds in arriving at the hideout without revealing his identity. However, Victor was greeted by an open door in the basement. Like the chain seal, it was a mechanism that could only be opened by humans. The doors are cleverly hidden and cannot be easily discovered, whether they are adventurers. That is, unless an adventurer who happens to visit is accidentally opened …

Victor, after that, spent a long time in this hideout. It looks just like a mediocre hut. First of all, the underground is never found. There was also a way to force the person who brought it forcibly, but it might be known to the hero. Then wait until the time when there are no braves. Until the life of a human being who has only a few decades —――

“–And this is the time I visited … There were wars of the countries that happened, but compared to the Demon King, it was also equal to Kouji …”

And this basement was discovered as a dungeon, and an accidental adventurer opened the door. Victor seems to have planned to darken her appearance with Sera who unlocked the seal by using a powerful adventurer to come.

“That’s exactly what happened, but …”

Victor continues while spitting blood.

“I have one request … Could you give Sera-sama to your friends …?”

“… I don’t care, but why is it?”

“Khufu … You are strong and trusted by your friends … Even from monsters …”

Watch Kuroto and Gerard.

“Did you realize that Kuroto was a spear and a horn and Gerard was a monster?”

“That was the only thing I had a meeting … I knew right away … Summoner, you?”

It’s terrible.

“Sera has never been out of the castle … If you can, please show me the world …”

“… I don’t know if Sera will approve of it?”

laughs at the edge of the mouth, Victor answers.

“I will definitely accept it … Sera is very curious … And that was the only battle … That would be awakening from sleep …”

“I’m waking up …”

“Khufu … If you unlock the seal, you can open your eyes immediately … I hear this conversation …”

“… I am not telling a lie”

Apparently true.

“Suggestion, but don’t you feel like you’re under me? Can you get it back?”

“A fascinating invitation, but my Lord is Demon King only … and it seems to be late …”

Victor’s awareness fades.

“Kufu, fu … The devil asks me strangely, but if I feel like this, this is me, please, Shima …”

The body loses power and Victor stops moving. At the same time, a fanfare sounds in the brain.

“Level up, or …”

The amount of experience is not odd, probably because of a level difference. Fanfare does not stop. But it’s a little empty …

“Well, let’s release Sera and Yara”

“Is it good? Certainly, Melfina said there was a possibility of becoming a demon king …”

Efill is the most concerned.

“Haha, I’m a person who is easy to immerse in sentiment. Huh, it’s really sweet, I …”

Touch the seal chain. The chain glows pale and breaks down the next moment.

“Can you hear me?”

The red-haired devil slowly opens the trap —――

“… My father and Victor are all stupid!”

―――― I started crying.
