As I was having a conversation with Lillywood-san over tea, I decided to ask her sothing that I was curious about.
[Speaking of which, Lillywood-san, as well as the other mbers of the Six Kings all used to live together, right?]
“Yes, we used to live in the Central Demon Realm, which is now called the Forbidden Lands”.
[I’ve heard a little bit about it, but I don’t really know much about what it was like back then…… so I was a bit curious.]
I frequently had the opportunity to hear about those tis, but I haven’t really heard about it in detail, so I was a bit…… no, I was quite interested in hearing about it.
No, I did actually hear so things from Alice before, but Alice was the last of the Six Kings to join Kuro’s family, so she didn’t live with her for as long as the other mbers of the Six Kings.
That’s why, I don’t know much about what happened before Alice ca to this world, and Alice couldn’t tell about it because she wasn’t interested about what had happened at that ti.
“Let’s see. Were you aware of the reason why the Central Demon Realm is called the Forbidden Lands in the first place?”
[If I’m not mistaken…… Wasn’t it because it was a dangerous place with trendous residual magic power due to the fact that the Six Kings used it for training?]
“Yes, that is indeed one of the reasons. But in fact, even when we were living in that place, that place was already called the Forbidden Lands. The reason why the Central Area was referred to as such was because of the existence of our Leader, Kuromueina.”
[Kuro?]
When I tilted my head at the explanation given by Lillywood-san, who looked sowhat nostalgic, she nodded once before continuing her explanation.
“In those days, when neither the title Six Kings nor Peerage system had been established, Kuromueina was called “Demon Realm’s Strongest…… Even in the Demon Realm filled with conflict, she was recognized as a completely extraordinary existence. She was so famous under such a title that no one in the Demon Realm doesn’t know about her.”
[W- Was it really that great? Kuro said that she didn’t have much interest in intervening in the state of the Demon Realm at that ti……]
“Yes, Kuromueina indeed was not interested in the power struggles, nor did she take part in them. She would arbitrate a battle when asked, but she never actively wielded her power.”
From what Kuro told , the Kuro of that ti…… Before she fought Shiro-san, was just watching over the state of the Demon Realm. Well, even if she didn’t, it didn’t seem like she was interested in the battle for hegemony……
“Anyway, since such a Kuromueina lived in that place, the Central Demon Realm beca so kind of inviolable territory. That’s where we lived, but of course, it isn’t that all of us lived there from the beginning.”
[I suppose so. If I’m not mistaken, the one who first lived there with Kuro would be Ein-san, right?]
“Yes, I heard that Ein and Kuromueina lived together at the beginning. To be more precise, Ein had been raised by Kuromueina since she was young. And then, I heard that it was giddo who joined them.”
[Ahhh, so the second one to join her family is giddo-san huh. That’s a little surprising.]
Although I was just making my own assumptions, I had thought giddo-san would be joining later. I an, I thought Magnawell-san would at least be much earlier than him……
“Well, though it seed that there was a reasonable amount of ti between Ein and giddo, I heard that there isn’t such a big difference from giddo onward. Incidentally, the one who went Kuromueina’s ho after giddo was Isis.”
[I see. So, Isis-san ca before Lillywood-san huh.]
“Yes…… However, this is a rather complicated matter to say. You see, the World Tree, my true body, had already been growing near Kuromueina and Ein’s house before giddo ca along. However, it was only after Isis arrived at Kuromueina’s place that my ego was born and established within that World Tree.”
[Ahh~~ Indeed, if you were to consider that, it would be complicated to say who ca first.]
If we consider the years she spent in that place as the World Tree, she would be in Kuro’s family before Isis-san, but if you only count the years Lillywood-san had been born as a Spirit, she would be in Kuro’s family after Isis-san……
Well, when you have lived as many years as Isis-san and Lillywood-san, it doesn’t seem like they’re concerned about seniority that much.
“After Isis cos , then Magnawell…… then giddo brought Ozma ho, and around the ti Kuromueina just created Zwei, Shalltear joined and all of the Six Kings were then present.”
[It sounds like quite a lively scene.]
“Yes, it was actually quite bustling and fun. Even when I was astounded while watching giddo and Shalltear fight a lot, thinking about those days now makes feel nostalgic.”
Just like that, Lillywood-san continued to tell so of the stories from that ti. How should I say this…… It seems that all of them were having fun with each other’s company, and the good relationship between the Six Kings hadn’t changed, whether it’s back then or now.
Then, going with that flow……. The story moved on to after Lillywood-san had left Kuro’s nest.
Serious-senpai : [It was actually Laguna who was the second youngest in the Hero Party. It was actually Magnawell who was the youngest among the Six Kings. It was actually Bacchus who was the second youngest in the War King’s Five Generals…… It seems like there’s so kind of law established that only those who speak like they’re old are surprisingly young in their community……]
(T/N: Serious-senpai refers to seniority here, not age.)
