I blink my eyes blankly and look at the seer.
It took me quite a while to understand what that meant.
“…what?”
“Let’s kill what’s inside Princess Tristan’s body. “It wouldn’t be a bad story for you either, right?”
“…”
Seeing as he spoke so casually, I guess I didn’t hear anything wrong.
“What are you thinking?”
“…”
If a guy who doesn’t know what the devil is says something like this, you could say it’s just ignorance.
However, there is no way this guy doesn’t know about the devil. It’s clear just by looking at what he’s done so far.
“…”
rather.
There are many times when I feel like I know much more about demons than I do, who only knows about them through game knowledge.
As if he had personally experienced it.
“The devil can be killed. “You know that, right?”
“…”
Just looking at him saying things like this is like that.
That is correct. As you can see from the fact that the final boss in Sera is a gray devil, it is possible to ‘clear’ it.
If the conditions are met, it is possible to kill it.
As I was quietly glaring at him, he shrugged his shoulders and continued speaking.
“What you’re trying to protect are the ‘vessels’ of the devil near you, not the devil, right?”
and.
It touches the most essential parts without any hesitation.
I know exactly why I twist my body like this every time to prepare for the upcoming event, and the core principle of action.
“Do you think that the devil itself is just a parasite that clings to it? Ultimately, it will only have a negative impact on the material world.”
“…”
“Because of you… neither the vessel nor the hero are doing as you expected. I’m giving you the option to ‘develop’ the story in the direction you think. “What are you thankful for?”
I look at him in silence for a while.
Then, with a sigh, he opens his mouth again.
“…Why are you trying to kill the Gray Demon?”
Come to think of it, this guy had a particularly strong tendency to be obsessed with Elnor.
In the Furnace of Strife, they even tried to use the entire chapter boss to divert my attention and kill Elnor.
“If you know the reason, where will you put it?”
He responded to my words with a voice full of laughter.
It is a laugh mixed with a deep sarcasm that asks, ‘What can you do in this situation anyway?’
“You can’t use the holy sword, the devil’s vessels can’t completely help you, and your opponent is a vessel with three pieces. “Is there any other option other than accepting the deal?”
“I am.”
I cut him off in a low-pitched voice.
“I asked ‘why’ you wanted to kill the devil.”
“…”
“It’s strange. “It’s you, not the other guy, who says that.”
The Prophet fell silent at my words.
For the first time, a crack appears in the atmosphere of the guy who had maintained a relaxed attitude until now.
“I said the other guys changed because of me.”
This guy.
They say that Elijah, Elnor, and the others were all affected by the butterfly effect I caused.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s the same for you.”
“…”
I continue talking to the silent guy.
Actually, if you look at this guy’s actions so far, there are a lot of things that are quite strange.
From the very name, he is the head of the devil’s ‘worshippers’. The action in the original game was purely focused on reviving them.
He has the same insidious tendency to sneak around behind the scenes, but just looking at him openly trying to persuade me to kill the devil, his tendencies are worlds apart from that of the pioneer in the original.
And, if I’m right.
There is a very simple and fundamental reason for the difference.
“you.”
Continue speaking calmly.
“You’re not really a ‘pioneer’, are you?”
I feel his breathing stop for a moment.
It was clearly visible to me that he had hit the nail on the head with what I said.
“I don’t even know how you are sitting there. There are so many possible scenarios. but.”
Even under the mask, the guy’s eyes are wide open.
That level of embarrassment can be felt through the atmosphere, air, and skin.
“But you. “It’s not the ‘original’, is it?”
“…”
One way or another, this guy is the guy who drove out the ‘original pioneers’ from this world and took their place.
He is not a guy who existed in this world from the beginning, but one of the elements that changed when I became possessed in this world.
“…”
And, with high probability.
This guy is one of the people I know.
I still don’t know who it is.
“…back to the original story.”
He sighs and says.
“First of all, I refuse to talk about killing the devil.”
“…Why? “Is there any way to overcome this situation?”
“Honestly, none.”
I think I can roughly understand why such a suggestion is made.
maybe.
I’m sure I’ll be in trouble in the future because of one of the devils.
Sullivan is like that, and this guy is like that too.
He has already shown himself to be pathologically wary of ‘other devils’ several times.
but.
“You said earlier that the only thing I wanted to protect was the ‘vessel’, right? Not the devils themselves.”
They say that their mere presence has a negative impact on the material world.
That is correct.
They are so powerful that their mere appearance distorts the world. If you think about what Elnor could do with just two pieces, there is nothing more true than that.
but.
“Demons also have personalities, right?”
“…yes?”
To the pioneer who answered in confusion, I continued speaking calmly.
“You think, you have memories, you feel emotions. You act like a human. yes?”
“…”
“They said that every single one of those guys likes me.”
then.
What to say is decided.
“Then they are all mine too.”
“…”
From here, you can feel the seer gaping his mouth in bewilderment.
He smiles and says something to that side.
“So, don’t touch it. Kill them?”
Silence.
The silence continues.
The seer looks at me silently. He looks purely bewildered, without being embarrassed, angry or anything like that.
[hey. Boy king. mister. wake up!]
[Uh, uh, huh? What, something?]
[It’s time to clap together! This bastard’s playboy level is reaching its peak!]
“…”
Caliban.
please.
shut up.
“…therefore.”
I leave the foolish seer alone and look at the window floating in front of me.
Because time is running out.

“Right now, we have to do something.”
If there are no teeth, then with the gums.
As always, it’s time to twist.

“…therefore.”
Elijah opened his mouth awkwardly and looked around.
In fact, I was quite depressed just a moment ago.
Because I was not chosen as the master of the Holy Sword, I was depressed and stayed in my room all day, but fortunately or unfortunately, I had no time to do that anymore.
because.
“What are you all doing here?”
She said that in a trembling voice, but no one answered her properly.
Elnor. Liru. Seras…
Each and every one of them looks like something I’ve seen somewhere before.
‘…all the devil’s vessels…!’
All of those people were gathered in the room with stiff expressions and tense expressions, making the air very heavy.
“Everyone say something…!”
“Well, everyone is preparing, so don’t say too much.”
Those words came from Elnor, who was sitting on the sofa and cleaning her sword.
Although it looks a bit more relaxed, this one also seems stiff and rigid.
“…Are you ready? What?”
“…Hasn’t a ghost come to you?”
Ghost?
What kind of ghost talk are you talking about?
When Elijah thought of such a thought with a puzzled look on his face, Elnor just shrugged his shoulders and answered.
“Well, it’s okay if you don’t know. “It is more advantageous to eliminate at least one competitor.”
“…”
Other women nearby seemed to agree, although they didn’t say anything.
That’s what I see when I see everyone quietly nodding their heads with stiff expressions.
“No, but why did you come into my room…!”
“…I guess it’s because you’re the only person everyone feels comfortable with. “I guess he thought this was the only place to kill time.”
“…yes?”
“Look around the faces. “They are the only ones who boast of terrible social skills and have no friends in the same grade.”
“…”
“The only people I can talk to comfortably are you.”
“…”
It’s true.
Does the condition of being a devil’s vessel include having to be low on sociability?
“What is really…”
Of course, I don’t understand why everyone does this without any explanation.
especially.
Among these, there are some who seem to be in particularly serious condition.
“…”
Elijah looked at Yuria sitting quietly in the corner of the room with worried eyes.
This is actually the first time we’ve met since Daoud got caught up in this and lost his mind.
On the outside, there seems to be nothing wrong. As always, quietly. He does not reveal his presence and just quietly observes the surroundings.
but.
To her who has eyes of truth.
For her, who can see through the ‘essence’ of an object.
Her exact condition is now visible.
‘…I was almost on the verge of committing suicide.’
It’s empty.
The girl who used to live timidly but upright in the world is now in danger, like a candle in the wind.
“…”
Then, you become even more curious.
What on earth is ‘waiting’ for a girl to come out in this state?
“At least give me a hint-”
Elijah tried to say that.
There didn’t seem to be any need to listen to the explanation all the way through.
Before I could even finish that sentence.
-!!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With huge flames.
A roar that seemed to tear the night apart echoed in all directions.
“It’s a start.”
At the same time as Elnor said that in a low voice.
Elijah stared at the pillar of fire rising outside the window with shaking eyes.
Absolutely.
This is a scene I remember seeing before.
“…enemy?”
The night sky.
It was stained red with flames.
