178 Episode 178 "Demon King Hræsvelgr"




"Hahaha ......

 --I was running.
 I'm running through the chaos of a city where people are fleeing and confused.
 In the skies above, unseen demons soar, and battles unfold as knights on saucers and flying golems move through the air to defeat them.
 Occasionally, the aftermath of the battle causes buildings to collapse and magic stray bullets to fall to the ground, puncturing the ground with their impact.

 I was running through the city in such a danger zone with a rock on my back.
 There's only one place to head, the entrance to this city.
 I was running across the battlefield to meet the demon king, Freeswerg, or rather Luna, who appeared there.

 Occasionally, I had to take many detours, such as hiding in the shadows to avoid encountering the monsters that invaded the city, or taking other routes to avoid attacks from above.
 But somehow, Rock and I managed to reach the gate that leads to the outside.

Nah: ......

 When I looked, there was a huge gate that had been destroyed.
 The gate I dove into with Luna when we first arrived in the magic kingdom Ishtar.
 It wasn't just a simple size, it was the strongest gate I'd ever seen in the country.
 It has been completely destroyed and lies there as a wreckage.

 Standing in front of the gate is Luna, who ran out to intercept the demon king.
 And her guards are surrounding her with knights.
 As soon as I see Luna, I rush to her side.

Luna!

"! Kyou! Why are you here ......!

 When Luna is surprised, I answer without hesitation.

"Of course. You wouldn't leave it to me alone.

 When I answered that, Luna looked more and more surprised, but then she immediately shouted at me with a serious expression.

You're an idiot! What are you talking about? It's the Demon King who's attacking here now! The king of the strongest demons in the world! And they even have the Four Heavenly Kings under their demon king! What's the use of someone like me who's not strong enough to fight, let alone someone like you!

 Certainly Luna is right.
 I'm a man who can do nothing more than grow demons, and I'm not going to be of any use to you here.

...... Yeah, I know. But there's a reason I had to meet with the demon king of this era.

 I muttered and turned my gaze to the other side of the gate.
 There were four shadows.
 I recognized one of them.

"That guy is ......!

 There was the unmistakable figure of the SS-ranked demon Azi Dahaka.
 It's still looking at you with eyes reminiscent of a snake or a fox, and a thin smile on its face.
 Is that guy also in this era? No, it can't be.
 If so, is that the Azi Dahaka of the past?
 I was puzzled, but my thoughts were quickly dispelled by another shock.
 Because the person next to her - a girl in a pure white robe and witch's pointy hat with snow-like skin - looked familiar to me.

"Ys-chan!

 The white witch looks at me strangely as I call out to her.

Hmm? What are you? Ys? Could it be me? I don't know who you're confusing me with, but my name is not Ys, and I don't know who you are, either.

"Huh?

 The voice and the face are identical, but the atmosphere and the tone of the girl's voice are very different from Ys.
 What's going on? When I was puzzled, a blue-haired woman next to Ys opened her mouth.

"...... Miller-Ka. That boy looks different. Isn't he a transferee like you?

 Miraca?
 I was puzzled by the name, but the witch who called my name - Miraca - looked at me with a nod of her head.

It's definitely a different feel to it. I see that you are from the same hometown: ....... However, they were not from the same hometown. And you're probably not from my time. So I had no reason to take it easy. And now I am the fourth king of the four heavenly kings, the witch of the demon king's camp, and Miraka is the only one who can help me. What I will do is the same. That is no different than you, Bahamut.

...... Right.

 Bahamut?
 That's the kind of person who raised that Mr. Felid!
 I was confused, but then someone appeared who instantly blanked out my brain.

No more bullshit. Miraka, Bahamut. Our only goal is to destroy this magic kingdom Ishtar. Our priority is the destruction of the great hero in front of us.

"Yes, yes, I understand. Demon King.



...... Yes, I know. Our King Flaeswerg.

 Demon King Flaeswerg.
 That's what it was called when the last shadow appeared.
 But the moment I saw him, I lost my breath.

 Pure white hair. Her skin was as clear as snow.
 A girl with an unworldly appearance that is both inhumanly beautiful and fragile.
 I knew that figure.
 She looked exactly like someone I knew.

Mr. Tsurugi, ......?

 Demon King Flaeswerg. The figure is exactly the same as one of the seven great heroes, "Silver Shadow Hero" Tsurugi.
