"Well, then, ladies and gentlen, we have been waiting for a really long ti. In my na as one of the Devil's Heavenly Generals, I would like to announce the start of the plan at this ti today."
The words were greeted in silence.
Nobody, he doesn't even speak a word, just sounds in the dim dark.
However, it was not caused by anger or other negative emotions.
The other way around.
By the overflowing joy, it suppresses the body that is about to tremble, so it is the best.
"Well... finally"
Still, the words finally uttered to my mouth were still slightly trembling.
While his face is hidden in the hood, the mouth exposed only outside there is so loose that it cannot be hidden.
But by contrast, the man wasn't going to say anything.
Because it is natural to react like that, including the person sitting face to face.
Therefore the man learned to be content with it, and that is why he also learned to be sorry from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, finally....... sorry. If everything was going well, they would have told to complete the plan instead of starting it by now."
"... No, I can't help but say to you about that. Everyone here understands that. Besides, would that be better to make the plan perfect?
"... Yep. If you had followed honestly, the plan would have gone smoothly, but it could not have been of sufficient quality at that ti."
But now you won't have to worry about quality.
Originally, the material was impeccable.
If you tap into your feelings of fear there, it must be perfect as a sacrifice.
So you could have really brought him in as forceful as that.
But you can't kill him, and sotis in prison, just in case.
If we were to have a complete attitude and move the plan to implentation, there would have been no other way.
Given that, I can tell you I didn't even have to go last week in the first place... well, the guy was in a hurry with a guy, I guess.
I cough up small, to be ashad of my immaturity.
But at any rate, it is only certain that the ti of our own grief is just around the corner.
When I made sure of it, I nodded, and the man stood up.
"Well... I think it's ti for to head over"
"Oh, no more?
"I'm sorry... honestly, I can't wait"
"I see... you an we all have the sa thoughts"
Laughter leaks from everyone's mouth into the words, and a loose air that doesn't seem to flow.
But given the circumstances, I guess that's right in a way.
So when the man grinned as well to respond to it, he bowed his head.
And.
"Well, I'll bring her in, thanks for the later"
"Um, I'll take care of you, I'll take care of you."
"Yes. It's all for the Demon King"
"For the Demon King"
That's what I said, after the scene.
Aina was sitting around doing nothing alone as the wood leaked down.
The gaze is not directed anywhere, but gives a dumb look.
It doesn't an there was anything else, though.
I simply said I was free until Soma arrived.
"... ha. I'm free."
I will try to speak up, but naturally that will not improve the situation.
I'll take a look around on the spot, but only the trees as usual were there.
Unexpectedly, a sigh leaks into that sight where you can't even see one of the figures.
If it was ant to be, the ti would have passed when Soma was supposed to be here.
Most of all, that's not unplanned.
I heard from Soma yesterday that we're a little bit late today.
And yet Aina cos there at the usual ti... well, it would just be the usual habit.
I was listening, but it just ca out the way it always did.
"... oh my god, who are you making excuses to"
That's all I thought about, I smiled bitterly at my thoughts.
It really feels like to whom are you making excuses?
I don't have to make excuses or anything, but I'm here now... and what's left of is probably why.
Well, anyway, it's true that you're free.
Well, I was wondering how I'd ruined my spare ti - it happened when I was thinking about that.
- Don't move.
"Huh?"
There was no precursor to that.
Without feeling any sign, Suddenly, Aina felt sothing stick to her back of her head.
I don't know, as a matter of course, what it is that has been poked at.
But from the feel, that would be sothing that's obviously pointy.
That's not the reason Aina got confused shortly after though.
Because the voice I heard was sothing I obviously rember.
That's what I heard last week.
"Uh... Lina, right?
"... yes, it fits"
So Eina exhaled her breath of relief, not because she was wrong in Lina, but because she had a proper response.
Well that voice was oddly stiff, but I care if you say you care...... that would be good for now.
More than that, I have to tell you sothing.
"Um... I'm surprised, I don't want you to do much of this? Besides, surely it wasn't tomorrow that Mr. Lina was coming?
"I was supposed to, but I ca here today to surprise my brother a little. Well, apparently my brother wasn't here yet... but that was convenient."
"You an convenient... you were going to surprise too? Well, I'm surprised... even if it's a joke, it's a bit of a hobby, isn't it?
"... a joke, is it? Why did you think this was a joke?
"... Huh?
No, 'cause you would.
It's supposed to be a joke.
It has to be a joke.
'Cause there's no place like why Lina would do that.
"Where in the world am I poking my weapon at the devil tribe, is there such an elent of wonder?
――
Monts, my breath stopped.
But the upset subsided there because I was convinced that that was the case.
It would be a foolish question to ask how long you had noticed, etc.
It's weirder to think of things as unnoticed in the first place.
And Eina, she didn't an to hide it in particular.
This is true for once.
I would have answered if I had been asked, but I just didn't say it because I wouldn't be asked.
Of course, it's true that I didn't want to tell you.
But that's why Aina pulled out of her body there.
Because it's useless where I resisted, and I didn't think I had a choice.
It's just that if I could, I'd end up in Soma.
"... ha. It's just too defenseless."
"... Huh?
But that's how she was prepared, for so reason, Lina stepped away from her back and exhaled her sigh.
What's floating in Lina's face, which has been going on until now, is not murder or disgust, but frightening.
Nevertheless, I just found out that, I don't know what it ans, I just get attacked by more confusion than I did earlier.
"... Huh? Huh? What do you an...?
"There's nothing going on. If it weren't for right now, you'd really be dead, wouldn't you? Damn, you're here, so be more vigilant."
"... to?
Really, I didn't know what that ant.
Why am I being preached?
Why have you not been killed?
Why are you treated in the sa way as before?
Aina didn't know one thing.
"... you won't kill ?
"Yes? What are you talking about? I do get a little too close to my brother sotis, but I don't hate Eina or hate her enough to kill her."
"Yes, because now..."
"Of course it's a joke, right?... No, when I say joke, it's a little different. Warning, will it be close to?
"Warning...?
"I wanted you to know how dangerous a situation I am. Eina and her brother weren't very alert when I said I was here."
... Sure, if you ask , I don't think I was very alert or anything.
Because she's Soma's sister, I think that was the main reason... but that was certainly a far-fetched thing.
"Well in your brother's case, I don't think you just need to be vigilant because it simply doesn't matter, because in Aina's case, it's a problem. I thought I needed to talk to you soday, but I was just fine today because I was alone."
"... yes"
You don't look like you're lying, and you don't have to.
I an, I guess that's really why I did that.
For a different reason than earlier, Aina's body lost its strength.
"... ha. Damn, don't surprise , right? You really don't like it, do you?
"So it wasn't a joke. If you don't surprise , it doesn't make any sense."
"Well, that may be..."
But even so, you should have the right to say one or two things about stupidity.
Anyway, I was really, really ready to die.
"Anyway, be very careful. If anyone else finds , that's really - eh!?
"Huh?"
At the mont, the only thing Aina could recognize was that Lina jumped off the spot.
I don't know why I did it, but it won't be if I care about it any ti soon.
Because Lina's body, which jumped away, was obviously blown as-is by so force.
"-Lina!?
I shouted unexpectedly and turned around instantly, sothing half-reflective.
Because instinctively I realized that magic had flowed from the rear.
And it was right… Aina opened her eyes to what was in her sight.
Because he was a man of sight.
"Alberto!?
But I didn't have ti to be long surprised.
Because I understood what Alberto was trying to do with his right arm lifted out.
Trying to stop, reaching out...
"-Ma."
- Shockwave, shockwave.
But he didn't make it, as a matter of course, and there was a roar in the rear.
I heard sothing pounding right after that, but that's probably what Lina sounded like when she was pounded to the ground.
Shortly after confirming that, Alberto disappears even more.
"-"
Looking back in haste, Alberto was about to reach out to Lina, who was falling and lying on the ground.
I wondered why this was happening, but Aina rembers what Lina was doing just before there.
That wasn't really what I was going to do with Eina... but if I had seen it from the side, how would I have looked fulfilled it?
As soon as she could think that far, before thinking any further, Aina was screaming.
"Ma, wait! No, Alberto! She didn't an to hurt ! That... yes, so you don't have to help ...!
I didn't know what to say, but for now I'll say whatever I want.
Was it worth it, Alberto's arm stopped...
"... I see. That was it, too. If we did that, we could have deepened our hopelessness... a little bit sparingly. - Hmm? Oh, this... no, apparently you don't need that either. Is this also due to my daily deeds… or is this also due to the guidance of the Demon King?
"... Alberto?
I didn't know what Alberto was talking about, but there was only vague anxiety.
Suddenly, I'm attacked by the kind of impatience I need to get out of here right now.
But naturally, there was no way I could do that by letting Lina go, and while I was doing so, Lina's body had been lifted by Alberto.
Apparently there's breath, and I'm relieved of the part there, but I can't let it distract .
"Al -"
"No, it's okay, princess. Apparently, this girl is going to be a pretty good sacrifice, too. I won't kill you."
"... Alberto? Say what...?
While lurking his eyebrows, for so reason a chill ran all over his body.
There's an alarm ringing in my head, and I think soone's screaming, "Get out of here."
"Well, then, princess. As I told you the other day...... the Demon King is here for you. You will co with ."
"... I thought you said no before? I'm not going."
Yes, you've already told that.
The mont she saw Alberto's face, Aina realized.
What bothered Eina at that ti was how can she stay here?
In Eina, it was decided not to go back from the beginning.
"I see... I an, whatever happens to this girl, right?
"- Beco"
That ans, hostages, right?
I didn't expect you to do that...... Above all, Aina was surprised to get that far.
"... why, to that extent... in the first place, such imitation, that man forgives -"
"I thought I told you? The demon king wants it."
"... lying"
Yeah, that can't be right.
That man - the Demon King - couldn't have allowed his father to do that.
But.
"Hmm... so you can't help it. Let's just say I'll take you as far as I can. - Well, I was planning on doing that from the start."
I couldn't resist.
No, I couldn't even give you ti to do it in the first place.
If you notice, Eina's body is blown away, and a slightly discerning leg passes at the edge of her sight, which only shows the ground.
At that ti, already, Aina's body did not listen, and even her mouth barely moved.
I just know that my vision has moved, and that I've been lifted.
"Well... shall we go back? It was an unexpected harvest, and the Demon King will be delighted."
――
At the end of the day, small, leaving only one word, Eina's consciousness fell into the darkness.
