Chapter 242 – Closure
As I and Baal have mentioned several times, in the end the outcome of this war follows from the conclusion of the fight between me and Baal.
Even if Agares and other demons win, it’s not like the Demon World won.
Even if Leticia and other forces win, it would not be a victory for the continent.
But.
That’s why Baal didn’t give any measures or blessings to the demons.
On the contrary, I did not want any of my people to die, so I lent my strength to them while fighting Baal.
Thanks to.
Defeat Agares and Marvas without me.
Leticia and Luna reached the grand stage, and Anna and Iris halfway opened the door.
Although they were all pretty hurt.
If it was just an injury, Adela was there——that’s okay.
“I will die.”
Chuuk.
Luna, who broke you, lets out her pained voice.
Now that the world’s danger is over, the contract with the spirit kings that was originally conditional on it has expired and been destroyed.
I was groaning at the recoil.
“Ugh, ugh.”
“Saint, saintess, take it easy…”
“Where is there such a thing as gentleness in the power of healing… Don’t be pushy.”
For others, the situation is not much different.
If Luna is suffering from the reaction of Sarah, the spirit who was the most rearmost, of breaking her contract, and her body not being able to keep up with the sudden rise to the stage.
Except for Leticia, who had regenerative abilities close to resurrection, and Iris, who could recover through her divine power, everyone was suffering like a critically ill patient.
Anyway, this is all over.
There must have been quite a lot of damage to the entire continent, so we should seek cooperation from Mitra and Luna, who have regained the status of the creation of the world, for that part.
I don’t know if it was just the two of us. With me balancing the weight of the balance, the two goddesses no longer had to give up their seats and come down.
And.
“Slowly stop watching and come down.”
“…”
Supportive!
“… A portal!”
“… ! Scarlett!”
“Are you okay. Calm down everyone.”
When the dimensional portal created during the demonic invasion opened again as the air distorted, everyone quickly prepared for battle.
When I stopped him, he put down his weapon with a clear expression of nervousness on his face.
“… Thank you.”
Seruk.
The demon who stepped on the floor——Gamigin.
Although he is the 4th largest demon in the hierarchy, he only stood by the sidelines of this battle from beginning to end.
“Do you know why I didn’t kill you right away?”
“Well… I do not know. Isn’t it because you didn’t participate in the fight?”
“If it was simply for that reason, I wouldn’t have let him live.”
“…”
Gamigin shut her mouth. As she lowered her head, her natural dark hair cascaded down her shoulders, down her voluptuous chest…
“Scarlett, where are you looking?”
“Greatness.”
She cleared her throat and spoke to Gamigin, who was laying her eyes down sadly.
A black orb was in her hand.
“Raise her head and look at this.”
“Yes… ?”
Gamigin raised her head and saw the orb in her hand, her eyes widening.
The silver gray eyes were filled with surprise.
Because that sphere was the information Sitri left me——and her soul.
“She owes her to her.”
“… So, me?”
He nodded his head to Gamigin, who asked a little.
In Sitri’s memory, she is her best friend.
Of course, simply because she is a friend of her Sitri does not spare her.
First of all, there was the fact that she had not participated in this fight at all, and even before—she was just a violent tyrant in the demon realm, and she had never interfered in this world at all.
It doesn’t matter that she didn’t do anything bad. Because of that, the important thing is whether Gamigin has had an impact while this world has been destroyed hundreds of times.
I saw it all with my own two eyes.
Gamigin is, surprisingly——unlike Sitri, who had a great influence on destruction, either directly or indirectly, several times in the past return.
Unless her demon lord descended and waged a great war with her, leading all 72 demons under her command, or if her demon lord had not personally chosen her and made her invade.
Never once did she step out and contribute to her downfall.
Of course, on the other hand, there were definitely sins committed during the Great War, or during the episode where she was in charge of the invasion herself.
Shall we fight that much with the help we received from Sitri?
Some might argue that this is arbitrary, and who is arbitrarily arguing the devil’s sins.
This is the world I saved in the first place.
I put the orb containing Sitri’s soul into Gamigin’s belly.
“Hick… ?!”
Gamigin, shrugging his shoulders abruptly at the sphere passing through the skin of her belly, looked up at me as if demanding an explanation from her.
Those big silver gray eyes are pretty.
“Scarlett.”
“… That is my own answer. Since you died for me, even if you don’t have memories, it’s a pity to let your soul disappear.”
Sitri, most of her soul was consumed by Baal.
So, even if I reincarnate, most of them including memories will be erased, and I will be born as a normal child.
Even so, I thought it would be nice if a part of my soul could be reborn.
“The people who can do it best are her and her best friend, you.”
“…”
Gamigin stroked her own belly with her dazed face.
That her best friend had conceived here——a bewildered face.
And then
“Then.”
“Hmm?”
“Citrie… Are they me and your child?”
“… What?”
“Scarlett, do you want me to kill you? No, let’s kill it.”
Coinciding with her momentary bewilderment, Leticia leaped in front of her and conjured her spear to stab Gamigin, but she barely caught on and calmed her down.
No matter how much I joke, when I hear the word my child, I can’t help but roll my eyes…
“… Scarlett.”
The atmosphere of Leticia, who had been screaming while being held in my arms, fell, and the tone of her voice changed.
A voice that was close to that of a soft older sister, closer to a slightly bright high tone.
“Sister, why don’t you come soon?”
Behind her, Luna, who called Leticia ‘sister’, unlike usual, was glaring at her with blue eyes shining softly.
Right.
“Mitra, Luna.”
“Did you notice?”
“Joy.”
It seemed that the twin goddesses, instead of creating their own incarnations, hastily borrowed the bodies of Leticia and Luna and descended.
No more than that
“Iris is there, but why is it entering your body?”
“If I descend to the hero right now, the grand gate will be forcibly opened, and I will become a clumsy grand master like the swordsman of the north…”
Then there is nothing you can do
“Originally, I had to possess Leticia, but my sister possessed it first. That’s why they have the same name as me, and we’re good friends here.”
Luna stammered out an excuse.
Is that so-.
Is that why you arbitrarily borrowed the bodies of my two older sisters?
“You wanna die?”
“Don’t be angry… ! Because everything is allowed.”
With a slight growl, Mitra shrugged her shoulders, as if frightened of her.
Because he did things that didn’t suit Leticia’s body.
… Cute.
Let’s see if we get permission.
“Anyway, Scarlett… Are you really going to let that demon live?”
Luna.
That’s why, after entering the body of my older sister, who was the god of the moon and not the god of creation, she crossed her arms and grumbled dissatisfiedly.
Even if I cross her arms like that, my sister can’t support her breasts.
I feel sorry.
“Okay. Why?”
“… That’s the devil Sitriya is completely reincarnated, so even if it’s a separate thing. Considering the sins that demon originally committed, I can’t even allow her to be reincarnated. It’s you, so that’s what you’re looking at…”
“Luna. You seem to be misunderstanding something.”
“… What?”
“I do it if I want to. Who saved the world?”
“… What is it?”
“Answer me.”
“… That, that’s what you did My sister and I do our best…”
“Who killed Baal?”
“… You.”
“Then can I do as I please, or not?”
“…”
Luna shut her mouth tight as if she couldn’t understand.
If it were my older sister, she looks like she would throw out a swear word.
Oh, it’s a big deal.
If it hadn’t been for the unusually blue eyes, it might have attacked here.
“… I don’t know, do whatever you want! Even if you’re worried, what can I say…”
“I’m sorry, Scarlett. Since Luna hasn’t been able to communicate with anyone for over a thousand years, she’s a little…”
Oh, is that so.
It seems like the hikikomori who was stuck in the corner of her room couldn’t speak honestly and had poor social skills…
“No it’s not? Really! Wanna die?!”
The two goddesses immediately canceled the descent and went back. It took quite a bit of time to make an incarnation, so when I have something I want to say in the future, I’ll borrow two people’s bodies to show my face for a while.
Anyway, that way.
In the end, Gamigin finally decided to let go. Sitri, which had a new life inside her belly——but it wouldn’t be Sitri anymore.
Embracing a new life, Gamigin departed.
Since the Demon Realm can no longer exist, they are leaving for somewhere on the continent.
“Then, in the distant future… When the child is born and grows up, will it be okay if I come to you?”
“That’s about it, well…”
Before Gamigin left, she asked me while stroking her belly.
She said she had no memory, but she also wanted to take a look at the reborn Sitri, so she readily agreed, and Gamigin, her cheeks subtly blushing, approached me with her rifle, smiling softly, and she whispered softly:
“Then, see you in the near future… West.”
…
“Hey, talk to me.”
“Brother. I have a lot to say. Shall we take turns talking quietly?”
“That is good. Do it.”
…
That.
It is unfair.
Why is it that everything is over, but I can’t rest in peace?
