Shortly after I woke up, I realized that the darkness was spreading in front of .
After a mont of boredom, I gradually get used to my eyes and realize that it was the stone ceiling that was there.
I don't recognize you. Besides, I thought with a falling asleep head about what it ant - Aina woke up completely there.
At the sa ti, I rember what happened just before I lost consciousness.
If I woke up in a hurry, it was a room made of the sa material as the ceiling.
I just didn't think it was just a room made of stone because it was spreading on the right.
It was undoubtedly an iron lattice.
"... you an this place is a barn?
"It's like"
"-!?
Words return unexpectedly to leaked solitaire, turning to surprise.
And Aina opened her eyes even more surprised at the person there.
"Mr. Lina!?
"Yes. Good morning. It is, Aina."
"Ugh, yeah, good morning...... not!?
What resuscitates behind Eina's brain is Lina dressed to be blown away and thrown out of her whole body.
That figure, which had lost consciousness, also seed as if it had died... but as far as this view is concerned, it does not appear to have a single scratch.
Of course it was dim, so it wasn't confird, but for now it breathed out relief knowing it was safe.
"... good. You're safe, right?
"... Well, it depends on what you say you're safe, but for now, I'm fine. Honestly though, I don't really understand why you're here. I rember soone attacking , but I lost consciousness without being able to kill the shock, and given that, I wonder if maybe they caught ...... Aina, don't you know sothing?
"... eh"
A mont reminds of Alberto's unleashed words.
The demon king - my father wanted it.
Given that, I'm pretty sure they caught ... but I still can't believe it.
He's not the one who does that.
Say that with confidence...... So what does it an?
And that's all I thought about, a possibility ca to mind.
Yes, that would convince of this situation.
I an, here's the thing.
Maybe he did want it.
For example, you want Aina to co back or sothing.
However, that was not an order to bring him in forcibly.
But that's how Alberto interpreted it, if that ans... sothing like this could happen.
I hear that the Demon Heavenly General needs not only strength, but also high loyalty to the Demon King.
It can also be seen from the fact that half of the twelve aristocrats need to be recomnded… So could that high loyalty be true?
Other than that...
"... Aina? What's wrong, sir?
"-Ah. Ugh, yeah, whatever... no, right. Maybe you know why this happened."
"Oh, it's true!?
For a mont, I thought about falling for it, but Aina stopped it.
Lina already knows that Eina is a demon.
Of course, you don't know any more than that... no, that's supposed to be enough.
But Lina's attitude towards Aina still hasn't changed anything.
That would an you accepted Eina after finding out she was a demon.
Thinking about when they denied it, I was too scared to confirm it... but still, I didn't want to hide it any more.
So.
"- I am the daughter of the Demon King!?
Speaking of her origins and speculation of the status quo, Lina raised her voice of surprise.
Well, I guess that's natural...... but I still can't see the disgust and other emotions there.
One is a pure surprise, then nods as he was convinced.
"Ha... but I see. If that's the case, I think it's possible for , too. Just..."
"Just?"
"I don't know why they put in here, or why they brought here."
"... there it is."
The particular problem is Lina.
Alberto said he sacrificed sothing about Lina.
I also rember saying unexpected harvest, etc.
But that's not what he wants or forgives where he interprets it.
Or if Lina wasn't here on this occasion, it was also considered a bluff to take Aina... in this situation, that's hard to think of either.
When it does, really...?
No, but that's...
And it was a ti when I was worried that it was not the sa.
"- Apparently you have a problem, and I'll answer it."
"Huh!?
If you turned your gaze to your voice, when did you get there, on the other side of the iron lattice, there was an Alberto figure.
The figure wrapped around the black robe shouldn't be the sa as when I saw it earlier, but it creeps into Eina's eyes because she stands in the dark.
Unexpectedly, I swallowed your spit.
"... that ans that you answer the question of why I was brought here?
As he hesitated to do so, Lina was throwing the word at him first.
Alberto nods to it, honestly.
"Yes. That's exactly what you guys were talking about, though, right? You were brought here as a sacrifice."
"Oh no... you can't forgive for that...!?
To that word, Eina was crying out reflexively, but Alberto's reaction to it was unexpected.
I just had to know what I was talking about, so I tilted my neck.
"... Yes? What did the princess say... Oh, no, I see. Is that what happened?"
But I just nodded that I was imdiately convinced, but naturally I don't know why.
I glanced at him with that attitude and wondered if he was going to wind up in smoke - monts when Vikri and his body trembled.
Because Alberto laughed.
... No, should I say "yes"?
Its suspended mouth was clearly like a mockery.
"... man. Damn, is it the princess, too? You're in trouble, when you get the wrong idea like that."
"... mistake, what?"
"Isn't it decided? That we think such a man deserves a demon king."
"... Huh?
I didn't know what you were talking about.
'Cause then it's like...
"We don't recognize such things as demon kings. There's only one person we recognize as the Demon King, now and ever.... Well, so Demon Heavenly Generals call that the Demon King, but if the Demon King were resurrected, you would soon realize how foolish you were. There is no way that a Demon Heavenly General would work for such a fool, so naturally I will demote him. I'd really like to do it right now, because I don't have that authority over my rookie. Totally, truly lantable."
I hear that the current Demon King - Eina's father beca Demon King only about a decade ago.
Because the forr demon king was destroyed, he said he was to stand as a new demon king.
Yes, Eina's father wasn't the Demon King from the beginning, nor has he always been the Demon King.
Eina also knew that she had only recently made a replacent, and that so were rebelling because of it.
But no way... yes, no way.
It was too unexpected, such as the presence of such people among the Devil's Heavenly Generals.
But even though she was shocked, Aina noticed that there was sothing in Alberto's utterance that bothered her.
That's sothing you can never ignore, opening your mouth as you tell yourself to calm down.
"... You call yourself the Demon King, which ans the forr Demon King, right?
"... So how many tis do I know that there is only one of his beings, the Demon King, now and ever?
"I don't care about that. I an, is that what you want? But the forr demon king must have been destroyed."
"Yeah, you're right. Abominably,"
"... what do you an it's coming back to life?
"It ans exactly what you say? The Demon King is coming back to life. For that reason, I've been preparing for a lot of things."
- Resurrection of the dead.
It is true, it is not impossible, it is said.
But essentially, it should have been almost impossible.
How did you...
"... no. Sacrifice is no way..."
"No way, nothing, no other use, right? Of course, normal sacrifices don't help the Demon King where they pile up. But if you're a gift holder - a holder of extra skill, you'll figure it out. Besides, if it's both of us, it's even better."
"With both of you... yes, I knew that's what you ant"
"Yes, Princess, you too will be sacrificed for the Demon King."
