Chapter 119 – Wishes
The subjugation is over.
I tried to enter the collapsed castle just in case, but the hero stopped me, saying that the dungeon would have been completely crushed by that huge castle, so there would be no point in entering.
I thought so.
“Is the Demon King really dead… ? He died too easily to be said to have the power to destroy the world?”
Still, it wasn’t that I couldn’t believe it.
The road to this point was arduous, and the people who were caught and humiliated in the dark castle and the castle guards had appearances that could literally be called devils.
Still, I couldn’t help but wonder.
Ruril’s question of whether he died too easily to say that the world would perish unconditionally was reasonable.
“That… “
“Let me explain… “
I got up from my seat.
The ring and hearing aid that the hero gave me are no longer needed, so I stopped using them for a while. The voice that had been coming directly into his head had now returned to being heard through his ears.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this feeling.
The feeling of speaking… It’s been a while.
“Rumia… Come to think of it, it’s strange for Rumia to say that.”
“Huh… I’ll explain everything from now on. Why can’t I speak… And about why I couldn’t even hear the sound.”
.
.
.
“… “
The explanation is over.
When I was born, the demon king cursed me with his source.
Since I am a special being called a child of a star, the demon king can also notice it if he tries to notice it. This sorcerer thought he would become his greatest enemy in the future, and cast his curse to usurp that power.
The answer to the question of why I, who was able to overwhelmingly use various magics, stayed at the D-rank level, comes out here.
My powers were being restricted, and my powers were being taken away.
By that mass of curse that was in me, the source of evil.
The reason why the demon king is portrayed as an unkillable being in the game is because I have been hoarding the power that continuously escapes from my body for decades.
In other words, it was a story that was applicable only if I was alive, and if I used this source, it was possible to conversely seal the demon king.
If so, why did I have to sacrifice even though I came in?
After all, I was just a mere human without divine powers, so the only thing I showed up was to give you a sense of being limited because I was able to afford a little bit.
And even more so, Rumia was defending against her curse alone, giving me complete control over her body in order to give her freedom and maintain her power.
The warrior has said it before.
At that time, I was already in love with the hero.
That’s why you can sacrifice.
He said he had revealed it directly before sacrificing himself to seal it.
Originally, it was a seal that would have to be broken after hundreds of years even if it was sealed, but at that time, it was not for one person, but for two people, and it was sealed together by Lumia and I, so the power was very strong. Do.
It was an eternal seal created by Rumia and I at the cost of sacrifice.
Even so, the hero returned to the past.
Just before sacrificing, after hearing all the truth I said, I made a wish on the holy sword and it returned to normal.
In the end, in order to directly eliminate the source, you have to get pregnant, share your affection with the hero, and create a child who inherits that power.
And when a child who inherits the power of the warrior is born in the body, the life that continuously radiates holy power remains alive in the body, so the source cannot take root any more deeply and withdraws.
And the way Rumia thought was if there was a way to seal the demon king by sealing herself with the source, in other words, encroaching the source into herself, revealing herself outside, and then stabbing the warrior with the holy sword.
That was the only way to subdue the demon lord.
“Then there are no wounds… “
“What I cut out was the source and life of the Demon King. If you don’t do that, the Demon King will survive even if you kill him.”
And that’s one of the powers of the holy sword, the hero said.
At that, Cecilia and Ruril shut their mouths.
To be honest, it’s hard to believe, but it’s a story that you can’t help but believe.
“Wait for a sec… “
Doesn’t that mean that the Demon King has been subdued?
Then… !
I got up from my seat and approached the warrior.
“Yo, warrior… Warrior ah… “
I clung to the warrior.
I couldn’t lose a friend like this.
Didn’t it say in the game that if you subdue or seal the demon king, the goddess will grant your wish through the holy sword?
“Wish… It’s okay to beg… ?”
“Wish… Rumia, you can’t!”
His face began to brighten as if he had just remembered the hero.
He said that the wish to save the people who were sacrificed by the demon king was impossible because there were too many of them and it was against the order of life, but if it was just one person, and if it was Rumia who sacrificed herself to subdue the demon king, extenuating circumstances would surely be possible.
He took out the holy sword, saying that it might be possible if he was a hero.
Before long, holding the holy sword with both hands and closing my eyes, the appearance around me began to change.
The divine power flowing from the holy sword seemed to surround us all, but before we knew it, we arrived at a place we had never seen before.
“Here… “
“Hello everyone. And my child.”
When I turned my head to the sweet voice coming from the side, a woman wearing a long pure white dress was sitting on an antique chair and calling us.
He had a blank expression on his face as if he was not of this world.
“You are… “
“Whoops… Didn’t the hero over there call me?”
“Ah yes.”
We approached the woman as if possessed.
“Uh… “
Cecilia, who had been restless since earlier, put on an expression that she realized something, and her face began to contemplate.
“Oh, maybe God… “
“Oh, I just realized it now. Cute child.”
The woman smiled and stroked Cecilia’s hair as she came closer.
“I, really… ?”
“Whoops… “
At this point, I can’t figure it out.
“God… This is it.”
I carefully put her identity into her mouth.
“That is correct. I’m here to make your wish come true in return for defeating the demon king.”
Yes, that’s it!
A reward for subjugating the demon lord!
Didn’t he come to make a wish thinking that that would be possible?
I approached the goddess and bowed her head.
“Cow, wish… Can you grant me a wish?!”
“I know even if you don’t say anything.”
The goddess smiled.
“Ah… “
As expected, she is a goddess, so she knows everything I want to say.
If so, that was fortunate.
Then…
“I’m sorry, but it’s a difficult wish to grant.”
“Yes… ?”
What is that…
“Ah… ?”
Why?
Why?
Why the hell
“For the sake of the world… I sacrificed for eternal peace… Can’t you even grant me such a wish? ?”
Of course, it is true that Rumia sacrificed for us.
It’s hard to see that he stepped out for the world, but in the end, it was a heroic move.
But why
Why not?
“… “
The goddess put on a gloomy expression.
Ah.
That it doesn’t… It’s not that I won’t do it.
It’s impossible.
The moment I saw the goddess’ expression, I felt that way.
“The source of evil that eroded the body, and with it disappeared. Even if it’s me, recreating the lost soul is… “
The Goddess said that and shook her head.
Was it
I knelt down in place.
In the end, Rumia completely disappeared.
“It is not that there is no way.”
Goddess looked down at me.
“I don’t know if it was intended, but it’s mixed with you. If you use that blended part, you won’t have any memories, but it’s possible to revive that girl named Rumia.”
That…
If memory doesn’t exist, isn’t it actually a different person?
“That is the only thing I can do. It’s just too bad that I can’t do anything for the hero who brought complete peace to the world.”
The goddess said that and bowed her head to tell us she was sorry.
Even though he was a god, he even bowed his head to us, but I couldn’t help but believe him.
Yeah, didn’t I say that was the only way?
Then I was good with it.
“The warrior… “
“I have the same wish as Rumia.”
“Looks like everyone is of the same mind.”
I turned to Cecilia and Ruril.
The two of them should have just learned about Rumia, but is it okay to write her wish like this?
At my gaze, Cecilia and Ruril turned to me and smiled.
Really…
I too smiled.
“Whoops… Having a good relationship is a good thing, but there is one thing I need to know?”
“Yes?”
“Even if you filter out the mixed souls, the size of the souls is so small that it’s dangerous if you don’t put them somewhere right away. In other words, to make the girl live again… “
The Goddess moved her gaze toward my abdomen.
And,
“It will enter the body of the fetus… Are you okay?”
Uh…
That means…
“That… Is Rumia going to be my daughter… ?”
“Because there is no other way.”
The Goddess said that and smiled.
I’m at a loss for words.
