226 Something Called An Edge. [After]

The next day after a night - not to be - Sylvia was proceeding through the castle with King Silvado, aiming for Warren's room.

"... this way"

When Silvard stops, he knocks on the door as it is.

From inside you receive a reply asking you to do so in a small voice, and Silvado goes inside first.

"We're going in.... I've been guiding you to Warren."

Well, what happens.

Sylvado invites Sylvia, who guided him, while suppressing his gradually increasing curiosity.

"Shh... Sylvia... Dear...?

Berea was sitting on a chair next to her bed.

When she saw Sylvia, she put her hand on her mouth and burst into tears with surprise.

"Oh, you don't have the old face at all. Long time no see...... eh, now Belia...... could it have been?

Hearing a bell-like voice, Beria jumped into Sylvia's chest.

Then Sylvia turns her hand to give up the child, smiling and answering Berea.

"I'm sorry... do... ugh. I, no... Warren has forgotten so many things..."

"... just enough for you to remember. Can you show me who you think? I'm sure I can help a little."

Berea moves right out of front of her when she has a stiff face.

Go ahead, show Warren lying down with his mouth.

"There's no shadow left on this kid either..."

Looking back at the fun old days, Sylvia reached out and put her hand on Warren's chest.

As the placed hands gradually glow purple, they stain Warren's body slightly.

Then the light rose as the fluorescent flashed, and the fantastic sight spread into the room.

"- Lord Sylvia. Damn it."

"I just filled the contents of the Demon Stone (...) from the outside. It's a little tricky, but there's no more effective means for demons."

"... demons, huh?"

Silvado squeaks.

"I know you call them interracial and recognize those with demonic stones as one race. But no matter what you do, it's just a kind of demon from me. I'm sorry if I bothered you."

"No, the values are different. I'm still not willing to push it..."

"I know how you feel. So let's not talk about this, shall we?

Then Sylvia stands up and speaks with her face to Berea.

"I'll wake up in a few days. So don't worry about Berea. You can laugh now."

The spirit of Beria was unstable.

What kind of woman Sylvia was to her, and the emotions that arose in this reunion, are immeasurable.

But at the end of the day, when Warren gained the peace of mind of waking up in a few days, he burst into tears and hugged Sylvia.

Thus, the first day after the Lloyds return home passes.

It was a day when many things happened, such as a reunion made possible by the odd fringe and the current state of King Prince Ain.

The next day - sometimes Oz comes in the morning, and wait for it and the Sylvias will be heading to Ain.

The next morning the weather was cloudier and cloudier, with occasional, foggy rain.

The Wang Urban became suspicious that the parade would not take place even though the knights said they had returned, and that something might have happened to Ain - rumors circulated in the castle town.

Naturally, no one in the castle answered the question, and everyone kept staring at it with a dark expression.

"Phew...... we have to stick together. First, bring Master Sylvia..."

- Conn, conn.

In the early hours of the morning, Krone was walking into the larger room.

The reason she came is simple, to guide Sylvia. Knock on the door and you'll hear back from inside.

"Yes? Go ahead -?

The voice that answers the way you're used to is definitely Sylvia's.

Krone takes a deep, deep breath to get her spirits in order, and if you'll excuse her, she goes inside with a voice.

"Good morning. Professor Oz is going to be climbing the castle soon, so I'm calling for Sylvia..."

It was Krone, who had decided to calm down and behave herself, but was bewildered by the presence of strange men inside.

"Oh, don't worry about me."

"You...? Don't worry about it, I think it's usually about introducing yourself."

"... I'm sorry. I don't know, it's been a long time since I've talked to people... Nice to meet you, I'm Cain von Ishtalika. Sylvia seemed to be taken care of one foot ahead, thanks"

"- I showed you an embarrassment. I'm Krone. My name is Krone Augusto. I was only present yesterday at the seat where Master Sylvia was present, but today I will be serving as a guide."

Following Cain's introduction, Krone looks over and names Silvia and Cain.

When I tell him that I'm going to give him guidance, he bows his head deeply with the trick he's used to.

"Right. I saw your face while I was watching. You were very impressive."

"... I'm impressed, am I?

Krone looks at her own outfit.

Wrap yourself in a silver jacket and skirt, but use black materials to remind you of Ain.

Makeup and hair are also carefully prepared to serve the castle, and there is no such thing as a stain.

Then Sylvia laughed and talked about how things were going with Krone.

"Really? You were very impressive."

"Well, that - if you don't mind, could you tell me what stopped you in the eye?"

I can't stand to ask, Krone.

Then Sylvia changes her attitude and turns her eyes to make her feel as compelling as she did yesterday.

"The others felt strange about my words, too. But you felt stronger and more uncomfortable than anyone else... and tried to question me. No... I think I'm about to try."

(... yeah. so that's enough)

When Krone stopped taking care of it, he snapped a sigh in his heart.

Continue, now open your mouth and speak to Sylvia.

"... Does telling me that tell you why this discomfort is?

"Hmm. By the way, what is uncomfortable?

"Do you come here and fall in love? Master Sylvia deliberately clouded the words that His Majesty had asked and changed the story in a deceptive manner. It's not just once. Don't call this uncomfortable, what do you say"

"- Hmm."

Though deliberately decided, Sylvia explores Krone's attitude.

Rather, he was answered with more fortitude than he could have imagined and was somewhat surprised.

"You're the second person I've had that attitude towards in almost my first meeting (...)"

"Oh, are you still in love? Dear Sylvia,"

"... that just reminded me of the old days. So, you want me to tell you why?

"No. Not so much for the cloudy reasons, but for what the Sylvians do to Ain... it's enough to hear that"

Krone, who has stopped taking care of it in earnest, does not hesitate to approach Sylvia.

disrespect. Danger. No thoughts. Some viewers will feel Krone's attitude, but she dares behave this way.

... but

"Is begging to teach a price you can offer me?

Sylvia refused to answer.

Seek the price. If you mouth it like that in the dark, you create a single wall between you and Krone.

"If there's anything you want, what is it?"

"Well, what if I told you to give me your life?

"In that case, you must promise to help Ain"

"... you want me to go if I promise?

"Yep. I intend to."

Even Sylvia, who has lived a long time, is amazed when she sees Krone, who answers openly.

I can't feel any jokes at all and I guess it really gives me life - a look full of determination to make me think so.

Cain, sitting nearby, also gave a surprise look and looked at Krone.

"- Come on, me and Cain will be on our way after a little delay. Is it okay if I take a look?

"Oh, Master Sylvia!

"I'll listen to you later, so let's change the venue (...) once (...)"

Then, Sylvia's voice echoes Krone's brain.

Soon the body looked back at the door, and nature and legs moved forward.

"... what, with"

"I have started talking to Professor Oz about them. Because if you have important stories to tell me later. See you later...... Mr. Krone"

Thus, Krone, who has no resistance whatsoever, cannot resist the compulsion and leaves the room with Sylvia's desire.

The Sylvians couldn't see, but Krone chewed his mouth off when he left, seeping deep regret.

"Ha. You must have been a little too mean."

After Krone left, Cain spoke in a frightened manner.

"If you tell me the truth, Ain't gonna be the bad guy for Mr. Krone. Then if I keep my mouth shut for you...... I'll be the bad guy, right?

"... I know what you're saying, but that girl is not soft to see. On the contrary -"

Then Sylvia stands up and pushes her finger against Cain's mouth.

Words can be stopped because of Sylvia's fingers before he talks about what's at stake.

"Besides, you kept your mouth shut, so you'd be a bad guy, too, wouldn't you?

"... I don't know"

When the two confirmed their feelings in this way, they gave a sad look and looked at the door where Krone had left.

Approximately an hour after Krone picked up Sylvia. In the end Sylvia couldn't bring him, but Oz climbed the castle first thing in the morning.

Between the glances, he exchanged those who were on the battlefield called Lloyd and Lili - from Professor Oz, who came, asking about his experiment with the artificial demon king.

Also, right next door, Katima and Krone, naturally, are holding off.

- Immediately next to Katima's standing, a crate with a huge seal is placed, making everyone aware of the importance of its contents.

"Okay, Oz. According to the material your Lord brought up... it depends on the application, right?

Put a wrinkle between your eyebrows. Silvard asks.

"Ha...... If you don't look in my eyes, I don't know, the black stone that the Marshals saw...... I thought maybe it condensed the energy of the Demon Stone, something like a candy ball, to paraphrase. The little animals went wild because of that kind of energy."

"What a monster...... does that mean they've been working on ist in the past"

When Oz answers the Lloyds' report, Lloyd looks back at Ed with a sad face.

"In the end, the enlargement of the nucleus in conjunction with the Demon Stone… but the energy required for enlargement is important"

"If the vessel is weak, it becomes like an enemy general (Ed)?

"Yep. As the Marshal said, the energy that has been leaked will fall out in chains, so it is also possible that it will weaken on the contrary. In this sense, I wonder if the enemy generals and the others are half successful in demonizing, half failing, etc."

"Hmm... I see. You were shriveling like that in the street."

"It is...... If you ask me, I feel convinced."

Oz's explanation was easy to understand.

Lloyd and Lili, who fought Ed, can soon come to understanding with this explanation.

I didn't seem to have enough vessels, but if Ed had enough of those vessels... I'd be relieved to think.

"But considering the opposite, it's not impossible to fill people with power, not demon stones…"

"Hmm. Oz, what do you mean?

"If, for example, it is a demonic stone with powerful powers, its use can be thought of in a wide variety of ways, for example…"

Then Oz talks about something no one could have imagined.

"... the principle is the same. We connect races with demon stones and use demon stones as our main strength."

Together, they swallowed their saliva with tension.

"Wait, Oz. I mean, that's not true..."

"Yep. If we succeed, we may be able to revive the owner of the Demon Stone. But I think that interracial race will definitely kill you, though."

"... what principle is that?

Silvard asks.

It was an experiment that was too inhumane, but it got me interested.

"All you have to do is use highly magical transmissible materials and force the wounded demon stone to connect the nucleus. Then, nutrients from the nucleus flow into the Demon Stone, which is quite unlikely, but could lead to resurrection -"

"Ha... what a dream story"

"Yeah, let's do that.... Anyway, there will be a limited number of different races to host. I have a mature nucleus full of power... I can't believe it's that easy to find, and even if I were there, I can't believe it's a demon stone that could be used... all I know is that it belongs to the Demon King"

When Oz answered this, he turned to a box with a seal next to Katima.

"But I don't know. So you're saying that a new spirit resides in an interracial body?

"That may happen, or a new organism may be born around the target demonic stone. We have to try all this..."

"I see...... But the principle is simple. Just connect the stone to the nucleus.

"The rest will depend on consciousness. Because a strong sense of purpose should build a link with the Demon Stone"

Silvard snorts deeply.

I wasn't actually going to try it, but it felt familiar that I didn't need a huge device... and the feeling of cold running through my body.

"- By the way, Your Grace. That there is no Master Ain on this occasion...... and is there a reason you asked me about the Artificial Demon King?

"Mm, mmm... that's right"

"Your Majesty. I thought I should tell Lord Oz. our thoughts... and the status quo."

"... oh? Something is disturbing about you. It would help if I were you..."

Silvard suffers from Lloyd's words.

While wondering what was going on, she nodded quietly as she glanced at Krone's expression.

Seeing that, Silvard also decides his mind and answers Oz.

"I'm not talking about state secrets. Does your Lord intend to protect it?

"What do you say, Your Majesty? Even what I'm talking about is a chunk of state secrets. It is now."

"... you were. Then, Lloyd."

"Ha."

Then Lloyd started explaining to Oz.

At the end of the battle... what happened to Ain, what is going on... and what will the two summoned do?

When much information, such as the relationship between Sylvia and the royal family, is laid low, it merely tells Oz the unique noun Elderlich and Durahan.

... Speaking of unprecedented state secrets to Oz, Oz half-opened his mouth in a way that was taken aback, and nigga grinned after the explanation was over.

"- Ho. I see, you even prepared the Demon King's Demon Stone in the street..."

"It seems that the two summoned will head to Ain today after this... They will use the Demon King's Demon Stone to stop Ein's rampage."

Krone, who refrains from doing so right beside him, is likely to differ on this word.

But I stayed afraid that the place would get confused.

"But you have some concern material."

"... Lord Oz. When you say concern material?

"It's a simple story… we're short on fire."

Together we pay attention to the words of Oz.

The sound of swallowing the saliva echoed during the sight, watching Oz's every move.

"This is only imaginary, but the species associated with plants...... in this case it's dry adds, let's assume this has evolved, for example. I don't know exactly what lies ahead, but most likely the world tree… now there is no such thing as a plant species god."

"... assuming it's a world tree, why fall short of firepower?

Silvard asked in a bewildered manner.

"- The world tree sucks up a lot of energy. If it's nutrients left in the soil or only a few left in the building materials… and if it's also a demonic stone nearby, you'll eat it without getting lost."

"So you think you're going into a fire shortage?

"It's the left. Assuming, for example, that the demon king's demonic stone was used to carry out a destructive attack, the wound would be repaired immediately and the scar would disappear without a trace."

"... but if you keep attacking that wound"

"Yep. Let's hope it works high, of course. But if the target is a world tree transformed into a demon king - it will also need to add the destructive power it unleashes."

The other person (Ain) won't be able to shut up, Oz points out.

Naturally, Lloyd and Silverado, who considered it irresistible because it was a tree, gave a look like they had chewed up a bitter bug.

"I wouldn't know if you didn't actually see Ein, but no matter how many of those couples there are, I wonder if it's hard to be world-class..."

- And that's when.

The door between the sights was opened with momentum.

Then, one woman comes with a grumpy attitude, making blonde hair swoop.

"- So if the Demon King joins that power... what do you say?

"K, Dear Chris......!?

"You're awake, Chris...!

Lili and Lloyd were surprised at Chris' appearance.

But the next moment I come closer with joy.

"We apologize for your concern.... and all that happened while she was down, Majorica told me. About Ein... and the people that Ein summoned."

When he grips his hands hard and shows remorse, Chris answers them as he eats his teeth off.

"Your Majesty, forgive the disrespect that came suddenly"

"... no, I don't care. You've come a long way, Chris."

But Silvard still looks at Chris.

"But it's Chris. What the hell does adding demon kings to your power... mean?

"- Later on about that. I'm sorry, but I have one client."

Then he put a no on Silvard in an attitude that didn't even look like Chris, and took him right near Oz.

"... may I ask you something?

"Uh, uh... I don't mind, what happened?

Chris's gaze is like a sword. Sharp and cold and full of killing.

His voice was equally cold, and Oz replied to Chris to be vigilant, but Chris' attitude remains unchanged.

"- Ed said it. I appreciate your research."

"... I'm sorry, but I've never given Lord Ed any research results"

Chris' abrupt remarks led to confusion.

Speaking without any foretaste, it strikes me particularly hard against Lloyd and Lilli who fought on the ground.

"Oh. Did you know the name Ed?

But Chris spoke without worrying about what was going on around him and continued to question Oz.

"I used to know him. He used to work as an adventurer... and in doing so, we met at Ist."

"... I see. Is that what happened?"

Phew, sighing and Chris soothes his attitude, he smiles naturally.

"You seem convinced. Most importantly. By the way, why are we talking about Lord Ed now?

Oz was concerned.

Anyway, the Lloyds don't speak the name Ed, they only teach Oz with the enemy general.

Paste a favorable grin and ask Chris in a white manner.

"Actually, that enemy general was Ed. I'm already dead, but I was wondering if it had anything to do with it."

"… is it the left? But as I said, I have nothing more to do with it."

"Yep. I'm relieved."

But Chris' smile stings somewhere.

I still have a lump - that's the obvious look I keep seeing Oz.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Can I ask you one more thing?

"... of course. Dear Christina,"

"So, in the past, when we headed into the investigation - who the hell knew that the head of the Red Fox was a woman and an executive of the Demon King's Army, even though we didn't say so?

Oz's expression only solidified for a moment.

But he replies with a smile.

"As I'm sure you know, I've been researching Red Fox for a long time. Therefore, we also know such detailed information…"

"I see. That makes sense."

"Ha. Looks like we've solved a misunderstanding."

Oz relieves himself with a discerning and relaxed attitude.

I'm not even uncomfortable with how that looks, that I lost the pressure of Chris.

... but

"Yep. My misconception that my hypothesis may be wrong has disappeared."

"... Yes?

"So, Professor Oz - Oz, your theory is broken."

"Um, I'm sorry, Master Christina. Damn it."

Chris' hegemony increased strongly at this moment.

- How do you know those two were married?

To this word, that's Oz too. Pic, and he looks at Chris with a convulsed grin.

"Is it some kind of mistake? The Lloyds only speak of Elderlich and Durahan. Can you please tell me from which you got the recognition that you are a couple......

"... did you even stand in your ears while you were watching?

"My ears are good at birth. It helps when this happens, so it's not something you threw away, is it?

- Hmm.

Surrender. Oz spreads his hands so he can say so.

"Sounds like the tide. But at the end of the day, let's just say it's going to look like a red fox."

"Oz - you, what!

Lloyd pulls out his sword. But Oz's behavior is one step ahead.

"I gave you that demon stone for this! I'm looking into it beforehand, in this castle... that it's well kept in the basement!

"No way, to the Red Fox Demon Stone you gave to Ein..."

"That's not true. It can't be a big deal, but it will have a good impact on some people... come on, have the last flower with me..."

Then, when Oz took a piece of paper out of his nostalgia, he burst it into momentum and threw it away.

It seems to be linked to the Demon Stone, and the dark light leaked out of the mutilated paper.

... but

"... hmm?

"- Nothing, you won't wake up."

Lili and Lloyd on alert.

The two look around, but never see any change.

Also, Oz looks around in an unexplained way.

"Hey, why isn't anything happening... supposed to leak my temper"

... Then Katima opens her mouth with a twist.

Sounds very sorry, then with some sense of accomplishment.

"... that nya? Oz, are you sure you're talking about the Red Fox Stone?

"- As I said earlier, you're right."

"... I'm sorry."

"... what?

Even now that Oz turns out to be the enemy, Katima doesn't break her sorry attitude.

And she goes on to talk - not only Oz, but a word of surprise that we all have.

"Um, those demon stones, they don't move anymore..."

"Well, what does that mean...... Katima!

Silvard, who kept his mouth shut, asks Katima.

Yes! I wanted to compliment you gladly, but first I decide to ask why.

"I'm sorry! When I was investigating the demon stone embedded in the small animal... the research was not complete and it was rampant..."

"- Instead of being important, it also contained the magic stone of valuables... It doesn't contain anything, but it's still an important research material... '

Time goes back, when Warren turns out to be the Red Fox.

Ain't looked rough, but Silvado flaunted him and headed to Katima's room.

Katima's lab was all rough at that time, and she was grumbling to the effect that her valuables were broken this way.

Ein has also confirmed that several of its contents are cracked......

"At that time, I also broke the Red Fox Demon Stone I was getting... No, I'm sorry."

But the last Katima smiles.

The guilt for cracking valuable material faded and Katima was glowing today, although it may be a joy to be able to transfer responsibility.

"That's above all, Master Katima. By the way, have you had enough about the technology Oz was talking about?

"... nya? Mm-hmm. I already understand that."

So what's up? Katima answers with that attitude.

Chris, on the other hand, seemed satisfied and nodded, speaking to Silvard.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for inviting filth"

"- Well, Chris, what did your lord..."

The next moment, Chris disappeared from everyone's sight.

But less than a few seconds later, she shows up right behind Oz.

"... hey. Didn't you still want to squeeze the knowledge out of me?

"You can't possibly think. The head of the Red Fox has lost his life, and he's already broken his bond with you. … all we think about is Ein."

"Oh... is that right... that's too bad..."

Bottom. I made a noise and Oz's neck fell to the floor.

"I tried not to bleed. Forgive me for being so ugly."

Speaking of which, Chris takes off his coat and hides Oz's body.

"K, Chris - wasn't it a little frivolous?

"Dear Lord Lloyd. Besides, I don't think this is a mistake around the fact that she (...) outside didn't show her hand."

"She out there......?

"Oh. You noticed."

Then Sylvia smiles like she's in trouble.

Stepping in softly between glances, he speaks to Chris, who has just killed Oz.

"I was watching the man's behavior. So even if there was a demon stone left, I managed... I was going to, but it ended a lot more interesting."

"... That's right, Master Katima"

"Nyahahahaha... that would help if you didn't get mad at me"

"Ha... Katima, let's just say we'll talk later"

Silverado pokes a ruthless word at Katima with a rude look on her face.

Chris, who was watching it, grinned, too, and at the end he nodded alone, determined.

As Chris walked out, he approached the Demon King's Demon Stone placed near the throne.

- Your Majesty.

"Hmm? What's going on, Chris?"

"I would like to respond to your earlier remarks"

"Earlier...? What if I add the Demon King to my power?

"Yes, it's about that."

In reply to Silvard, Chris opens the sealed box without worrying.

What are you doing? and everyone is uniformly surprised, but Chris doesn't stop moving.

"Mr. Krone."

"Uh-huh, yeah. Mr. Chris, what's going on?

"Please. My demon stone has already been dedicated to Ein. Please, when Ein returns... tell him to put it in Ein's body."

"... Mr. Chris. What do you mean by that?"

"Haha...... I was lucky my sword was misrilled. There is no better metal for the transmission of magic than this, and I'm sure you will achieve satisfactory results. Besides, I have a long life and power as an interracial."

Having finished speaking, Chris took the demon stone of Archet the Demon King.

The body is eroded by the magic of the demonic stones that gradually leak out, making Chris' body weaker.

But she pulled out the proud Rapier and laid the demon stone of Archet the Demon King over her own nucleus.

"If Archet, the Demon King, is resurrected, he will help us to hold Ain.... maybe Archet the Demon King will run wild too, but if he does, resent me"

"Mah - wait, Chris!

Silvered holds it back.

But Chris shook up Rapier without answering......,

"Mr. Chris! Wait, wait!

"... Mr. Krone. Please, Mr. Ain."

He put the shaken rapier backwards and swung it down to Chris' chest straight line.

It must have been because of the quick and beautiful behavior. Archet's demonic stones were retained without a splash and only a Rapier passage was created in the center.

When it penetrated quickly, it pierced Chris' nucleus without any problems.

"- Archet the Demon King. If you can help me, please... help my dear one."

Chris' Rapier shone loudly as he hung up on these words.

When the light gradually leaks into purple, the ball of light grows greatly, mainly in the demonic stones of Archet.

"Hurry up and pull out your sword! If you do that, even you...!

Sylvia rushes in, but the race has already been thrown.

When Chris smiles weakly at Sylvia, he only says' please 'in a breathtaking voice.

"Chris! Why don't you stop... Lloyd, get Chris's sword... ugh!

"Ha-ha! Whatever you want!

"Master Lloyd! Help me too..."

Lloyd and Lili both got to stop Chris, but it's too late.

As if to satisfy the thirst, the light that spreads over the demonic stones of Archet continues to grow and gradually creates a human form.

Silver hair shows itself, small but at a glance with a woman, and it shows itself little by little.

"No, it's not... This is for Ein... what..."

Squeeze the final force and Chris unleashes wind magic and obstructs it.

... It was a strong breeze for just a moment, but the battle was won just for that moment.

When Chris smiles like a goddess as satisfied, he slowly lowers his hand as he has exhausted himself.

- And he was resurrected.

It is said to have made the worst history in the history of Ishtarika, the first time in hundreds of years that Archet the Demon King has appeared.

"... stupid girl. But you're so pretty"

Archet showed up with a thread of clutter.

While hiding his body with silver hair that reached his knees, he held the fallen Chris with his knees.

Purple aura fills the entire body of the Arche.

bee like an electric shock, and when you make a sound,

"... but beautiful people can't die. Here... good luck."

Archet bit Chris in the neck.

As I pour the purple aura into Chris' body, I get up feeling Chris' body pulsating.

"- Yeah. Me, the Resurrection"
