Chapter 172 – The Final Battle (4)
Due to Arya’s awakening, the situation faced a strange lull.
The demon king, who was about to drive Einstein at any moment, moved his gaze to Arya, who had just woken up.
It was something that wasn’t exactly an aria.
“Is it safe to say that the fact that you woke up means that the saintess did not pass her test?”
The god of the sun, who occupied Arya’s body, calmly answered the demon king’s question.
– It’s not like a test. It was such a promise from the beginning.
“Hmm, it seems that heroes and saints in this generation are definitely special.”
-Where is Luna?
“Right now, we are in a state where we cannot intervene.”
-Why?
“Because I made a pact not to touch it.
The sun god narrowed his eyes.
– You’ve been bothering me with your work.
“Is there anything more troublesome than the promise you made to me?”
At that, the sun god fell silent for a moment, then he replied in a dissatisfied tone.
-You should be faithful to the role of the demon king, right?
Was that word offensive?
A wrinkle formed between the demon king’s forehead.
“At this point, I think I’ve faithfully fulfilled the contract.”
-The promise was until your spirit collapsed.
“There was a clause there. It’s over when the hero and saintess annihilate it in a legitimate way.”
– I’m sure there was such a clause. But I don’t think you’ll lose to the current hero.
At the words of the god of the sun, the demon king briefly glanced at Einstein.
She wasn’t wrong.
He didn’t think he would lose to that weak warrior.
But.
If you win this time too.
If so, how long will he have to wait?
Should I live?
The demon king saw the demon sword he was holding.
I don’t even know what I was living for.
I don’t want to continue this annoying bondage any longer.
He was the demon king who wanted all of this to end.
Because he was like that, nothing good came out.
“It’s long and short, you just have to talk about it.”
-It’s a word and action that stupid people like to use. Not like you
The Demon King shrugged his shoulders.
“Time dulls everyone.”
-Are you saying you’re worn out too?
The demon king laughed bitterly at that assertive tone.
“Then?”
-I’m so sick.
“Ironic. A man named God setting up a false demon king to maintain the status quo.”
– A lot of useless words.
“Because it was that boring.”
Einstein could not understand their conversation.
She didn’t even want to understand that.
What were they talking about among themselves?
Because his only interest was Aria.
The warrior’s burning eyes turned to the sun god.
“You are not Arya.”
How much he had seen her deportment.
You know the habit of smiling when you are in trouble.
This isn’t the case lately, but when there’s a burdensome problem, I’m not the type to make eye contact.
I knew that because I was Astein who had seen Aria by her side.
That he is not the one he loves.
Look at that cold gaze, devoid of any warmth.
-You have good eyesight, warrior.
Einstein asked, pressing his buzzing forehead.
“Where is the real aria?”
– You must be having sweet dreams by now.
“Do you dream?”
-Yes, I am dreaming. When things go well, I’ll send them back to where they belong.
Einstein’s brow furrowed.
I don’t know what nonsense you are talking about.
It was like that in the first place.
I didn’t like it from the beginning when it was a test.
What do they mean by testing Arya?
Also, what is it about her that moves her as she pleases?
It’s not fair.
Even if it is a specific existence called God.
There is no justification for invading her life.
“I have a rough idea of who you are, but that’s not your body.”
The sun god tilted his head at the sharpened words.
Could it be because Arya’s body took that kind of action?
It felt quite disgusting.
-That’s not even his body.
“That?”
– Hey, it’s natural that you don’t know. What condition is this child in?
It was a significant word.
“What do you want to say?”
– Shall I teach you?
The sun god says as if it really doesn’t matter.
– This child’s secret?
Are there still hidden secrets?
I didn’t feel particularly betrayed, or my teeth trembled.
If Arya didn’t tell her, she must have a reason for it.
Plus she already has her immense trust and faith in her.
Just as Arya believed in Einstein, Einstein also believed in Arya.
Isn’t that kind of a relationship?
Himself and her.
Einstein let out a breath.
“No, that’s it.”
– Huh?
“I don’t think it’s something you’ll hear from a third party even if you’re interested.”
Words of firm refusal.
The sun god replied with regret.
-Are you really okay? This is something I wouldn’t say no matter how special the relationship is.
“Then it is better not to listen. What do I gain by digging out what my curiosity won’t tell me? If you don’t want to teach me, I have no intention of knowing.”
-That’s a bluff. Would you like to know him?
“Don’t be nasty.”
Einstein’s dark hair turns white as his hair turns white.
Like an aria.
The black aura he possessed also reversed.
Its appearance is similar to the scattering of white petals.
White fever.
His energy is burning with pure whiteness.
– Won’t you regret it?
“Just give Arya’s body back and go away.”
Einstein tore the pendant Azazel had given him from his neck and threw it to the floor.
No extra swords needed anymore.
Because you will become a sharper and stronger sword than anything else.
The white energy is condensed and united to form a single sword.
What I was trying to show off to the demon king.
It would have been fine if he had fought with all his might and not looked back from the beginning.
If that was the case, Arya wouldn’t have been in a strange situation.
He felt sorry for himself for hiding Sue until the situation worsened.
-I can’t do that.
“Then I’ll beat you up and make you listen.”
– Can you do it?
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
In the true sense of the word, a hero holding a holy sword.
The one who responded favorably to the mutation was, of course, the Demon King.
“Indeed, it is at a level worthy of boasting. Is it a temporary awakening?”
Awakening or what, I was tired of asking.
Einstein aimed his pure white sword at the demon king who stood in his way.
“Get out of the way.”
“I can’t do that. If you want to reach her, first…”
I know it even if I don’t say anything behind it.
You must be saying the same thing after defeating me.
The hero interrupted the demon king.
“I won’t lose to the likes of you anymore.”
The demon king’s smile deepened.
“Yeah, it’s fun this way too if it comes out like that.”
* * *
I opened my eyes.
It feels like having a terrible nightmare.
I heard the upper body.
His body was wet with sweat.
It was as if I had caught a bad cold last night.
“Ah.”
A voice that is neither thin nor clear.
The muddy voice unique to a man in his 20s resonates in his eardrums.
Weird.
Why does this feel strange?
Everywhere I look, it’s my normal voice.
Cheer.
A migraine came.
I pressed my forehead and squinted her eyes.
I feel like I forgot something important.
It’s really important, so I have to realize it again.
It’s really frustrating not knowing what it is.
“What was it? Maybe I will remember, and maybe not.”
No
If it was really important, you wouldn’t have forgotten, so isn’t it as important as you think?
… What are you worrying about in the morning?
Growl.
The belly clock rang.
Hungry, I naturally turned on my phone.
I was thinking of ordering something.
“It’s XXX. Let’s eat.”
A voice that shouldn’t have been heard was heard.
I was momentarily lost.
Who was in this house?
Wasn’t it just me?
But somehow it feels familiar.
“It’s XXX.”
Oh
I get it.
Was the mother
But why is there a mother?
Is it home?
Do you have it because it’s home?
I answered while feeling a great sense of difference.
“I’ll go now.”
When I went to the living room, I saw my mother preparing the dishes and my father reading the newspaper.
I was bewildered.
So, I was standing in a huddled position when two people looked at me.
“XXX, why are you standing like that? Let’s sit down and eat.”
Mother says with concern.
My father looked at me with a reticent gaze.
It was a typical and common family scene.
Just looking at it warmed my heart and made my heart ache.
“Ah yes. I will eat.”
The meal went on smoothly.
Moderate chatter, moderate vigor.
Everything is peaceful enough to be normal.
“XXX. You talk less today. Right, you?”
At his mother’s words, his father nodded.
Am I being too talkative?
“I have something to think about.”
“You think? I heard that she is going to hang out with her friends, is that it?”
“Yes, what. Because of that.”
Moderately blunted.
Am I right to be here?
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
It’s very comfortable.
Comfortable
Warm.
Not painful
I think it will be good if it stays like this.
– Give me an aria!
“Uh?”
This.
Whose voice?
There is noise.
Jijik.
“It’s XXX. Why don’t you eat?”
Was it strange that I suddenly got up from my chair?
My mother gave me a worried look.
“Oh, no. I have a bit of a headache.”
“You were surprised, he too.”
“I think my cold hasn’t gotten better yet, so I’ll go in first.”
“Sure.”
I returned to my room from the living room.
After closing the door, I leaned my back against it.
What was it
I heard something.
Hallucinations?
Whoa.
He sighed and pressed the area around his eyes with his index finger and thumb.
Only then did my room come into sight.
My room was not as bleak as I thought.
There were books, computers, and more personal items than I thought.
Why did I find this scenery strange?
-That’s not your body.
Again
The hallucinatory sound continues to be heard.
Strange.
I feel sick to my stomach.
What’s wrong?
Still.
It’s comfortable here.
That’s not painful
