184 Talk To The Former Most Powerful, Demon King
184 Talk To The Former Most Powerful, Demon King
That was the only bright room illuminated by the moon, as well as quite an atmospheric situation.
But there's no point in giving the guy an atmosphere or anything.
I tried to put the lights on for now... but I no longer needed that right after.
Because Iori used magic to turn on the lights.
He said that to reduce the wear and tear of the magic conductor with lights, which are also consumables, etc.
"You... are you harassing me? At this hour, if you're selling a fight, you're buying it, right?
"What? Why is that... Oh, no, you've been saying that like a wizard for a long time. So, could it possibly not be used?
"Maybe nothing, but rather why can you use it...?
"I'm talking about one thing or the other - and why can't you use it... sure, I heard that anyone in our world could basically use magic if they came to this world?
That was completely first-hand information.
Not even from Hildegard, I haven't heard.
You knew, but you didn't tell me, you didn't know in the first place... no, maybe you didn't.
That is definitely useful information.
I don't need to dare hide it.
But.
"Hmm... is that right?
"Oh, anything. Because our world will be the top world from this world. Was that why? Because of this, the soul is superior in rank, so most of the innate talents that exist in this world are equipped in advance? It seems to vary from individual to individual."
"I see.... By the way, how do you know that?
Yes, that's the problem.
Hildegard is a former god, and even though he seems to have encountered the gods of this world, he is nevertheless unknown information.
Just because you're a former brave man and a current demon king, doesn't mean you'll know just about anything.
He stared narrowly at his face, which spoke as if it were nothing, but Iori just shrugged his shoulders, looking the same.
"Well... I only have to say... because I was taught by a certain one, or because I was told on my own... who do you dare not say it from? Maybe they'll come to you sometime."
"Ho... what's the basis for that?
"It's a simple story. Because I'm here and you're here, too. You will be reincarnated into the world where I was summoned. I wonder if that happens by chance."
"Hmm..."
Squirting, Soma shrugged her shoulders, too, because she was convinced that she was indeed right.
There is no way such a coincidence could have happened.
It was the story of Hildegard who reincarnated Soma into this world... apparently he was able to do what he had to confirm later.
"Are you convinced?
"Well, how can you not be convinced? I can't forgive you for using magic."
"Why, forgive me."
"Say no."
I say that and stare at each other, laughing at each other right after.
I felt terribly nostalgic, although it was something I felt a little bit after reuniting with Io.
"Oh yeah, I'm going to forget it while I'm doing this so I'll tell you first...... thanks"
"... what is it, abruptly? I honestly feel sick..."
"I'm thankful, take it honestly."
"I don't know what you're thankful for, but I don't care if you ask me to take it?
"... ma, sure that's true too. Though, you have a pretty good idea, don't you? It's about Eina's magic."
Indeed, that was not what I had in mind.
Finally, because of Iori's character, he will probably say thank you.
"He told the story a long time ago."
"That's why it's extra, right. To the extent that you can pretend to flush it, you mean you can sort it out and take it. Oh, by the way, right. You solved it, he said something like, how did you do it?
"Yeah? I just saw something weird. So I just slashed it?
"... what? Slashed...?
Soma tilts her neck at Iwo with a look such as a flash.
Because I didn't know why I looked like that.
"Hmm... they all look like that a lot for some reason, but why?
"As for me, I'm talking about why you're asking me that... well, I don't know if I look like you. And you must have managed to solve Eina's problem."
"That would just be a buyout. I guess that's all I've managed by chance. In the first place, you...... no, you guys would have actually thought I didn't care about that problem?
"... what makes you think that?
"Nothing, assholes will know what you're doing."
Technically, I didn't think it mattered.
I didn't care, to be exact.
If Eina can use magic, then there will be no change in the eyes that see Eina of Eida.
"... as a matter of fact, you're right, but it still doesn't make any difference what Eina was suffering from. And that was something we couldn't help. What did you just say, Aina didn't try to accept it? There was a lot going on back then. It's just one of the reasons...... that's not even an excuse. Whatever, thanks."
Soma shrugged her shoulder with a slight surprise at Iwo, who said so and bowed her head.
I think it's something that really started to show people their parent-like faces, and realize that that's all the time flowed to them, too.
It doesn't make me feel that way at all.
"... by the way, speaking of which, I have been distracted to ask, why do you remain as you remember me? Even though magic can slow down aging to some extent, it would be too much of a change."
"Oh... I didn't say that. That also means that I'm from the top world. It has very little soul loss, so it's affecting the flesh, or something? And then there's the secondary element of being a brave man."
"Hmm... it's the Demon King, isn't it?
"I mean, I originally called myself the Demon King. Take the blame for defeating the Demon King once, or something like that."
"Hmm? Does that mean that the Demon King doesn't originally name himself?
"A demon king is only a role given to him by the world, just like a brave man. Most of all, it became the Demon King because that's what we called it... but from what I've heard, it's probably none of your business, and it's only gonna be for a long time in vain, so stop it."
I'm interested in talking about it, but the night is long but finite.
I have a lot to ask and talk about, so I gave my consent.
"That's right. Whatever the reason, he hasn't changed and he's been helpful. Honestly, there's a chance I wouldn't have known if I'd grown up poorly... and no, I'd have just figured it out if I'd heard your name?
"I mean, I'm surprised I remembered my face for what it was. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I only remember your original face somehow, huh?
"Maybe my whole life hasn't changed either. Probably wouldn't have known if we could have lined up a similar face. I could only be sure because there were a few elements that I could deduce from looking at the real thing."
"I think that's too much."
With such a story on their minds, Soma and the others discussed a variety of things.
Something you couldn't talk about earlier, or something you wouldn't be able to talk about without the two of us.
We talked about some of the downside stuff and some of the crap... it's been a really long time, like old times, we talked about a lot of things.
There would have been a lot of stories back in the day about the appropriations, but things have been a little topical lately.
Felicia and the others were the most unsure of what to do.
Somehow he missed the time and never explained the two of them.
And that's why we both stayed hooded the whole time.
"... Sheila is an elf and Felicia is a witch"
I see. I can't show you my face.
That's what I ended up talking about because they gave me permission, but I was surprised, but when they told me that it didn't seem like anything, it was just a relief.
"Still, take the elves and the witches, or... that place really sounds like you"
"Is that so...?
And then I asked him if he could use magic somehow, as a matter of course, and so on and so on.
But...
"If there's such a thing, you can try it when Aina's"
"Hmm... you're absolutely right. Well, that doesn't make any difference. It helps you to call yourself the Demon King..."
"Don't be impotent about what the Demon King has to do with anything."
As such, if we also share stories about nostalgia, time will pass in no time.
The night also deepened, and such a nostalgic and enjoyable time went on until it was just time to go to bed.
