59-58 Alan Zil meets a separated son



 I've learned a lot since I settled down.
 Such as the meaning of 'sorry' that Granbaza-sama says.

'So you knew about it, Lady Granbaza? You know my real tribe?
When you were about five or six years old, I was worried about your inability to use magic. I've been doing a lot of research. From the looks of it, you noticed it too.

 Yeah.
 You know, I was really surprised when I first heard about it.

"I've been wondering. I wondered what I was really going to do to make you happy. I knew it would be the happy thing to bring you back to where you were supposed to be, but I couldn't let go of it, and it just came cheating...!

 I've never heard of such a story before.
 Has this person been dealing with me with this kind of guilt for a long time?

''But after all, the human race is happiest when it lives among the human race, isn't it? Becoming such a great man and building a family...! You are truly magnificent, Dariel...!
But still, wasn't it you who raised me as a child?

 I owe you a debt of gratitude that I can never repay.

Look at him. That's my son. I named him Gran. I took the liberty of naming him after you.
Oh....
The days you raised me are irreplaceable to me. I don't want to be the subject of an apology.

 Thank you.
 Thank you.

 I was so impressed that I hugged Granberza-sama.
 I felt again that he was such a small person.

''That's a good story!''
It's a good story.

 The outsiders are also in tears at the side........
 .........beside them.

'Let go! Let go of me! What kind of a hero is this if you don't make the Four Heavenly Kings bleed here!
"Mr. Arantzill! Air! Read the air!

 The current hero was holding back the previous hero who still wanted to slay the demon race.
 ........I'm sorry for something.

...............
Noooooooooooo?

 The Hermes sword swung down.
 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

I'm sorry. It's just as we talked about, and we can't afford to let our benefactor be struck down.
It's all right to listen. I never thought you'd be that pesky aide.

 Troubling.
 I had no idea I was perceived that way by the enemy.

''They only chopped at the edges of my vision, but they always left an impression on me because they always interfered with me in extremely precise ways at important places. ........I didn't expect it to be a human race and not a demon race......!
''I was surprised when I found out, too.
"But now that you recognize your true origins, it is only natural that you should stand by our side and defeat the demons! Defeating the Demon King, destroying demons, is a human's most ardent wish for dozens of generations!
''Indebtedness and love transcend race.

 Can you easily kill the person who raised you as a substitute for your parents just because he or she has changed affiliation?

''However, I have a debt of gratitude to the human race now. So I'd like you to at least be friendly with each other in front of my eyes...''
You're kidding me.

 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
 If it's a pure contest of strength, old Anta has no chance....

"I am! I must eradicate the demon race! That's my mission! The meaning of life! Don't stop me, Dariel!
I'm sorry for the misfortune that happened to you. But that doesn't mean we can't allow ourselves to grieve because of it.

 I'm winning the one-stress comparison, but Arantzill doesn't seem to be stubbornly backing down.
 What's wrong with this........

''Um........from what I've just heard, what do you mean?''

 Lady Granberza joined the conversation.

'Misery and sorrow...? No, I mean, I guess you could say we've known each other for a long time, but we're enemies and we don't actually know each other that well...

 I'm sure.

"Shut up! No foul demon can take revenge for the murder of his own child!
What...?
"What an evil deed your people have done! The Four Heavenly Kings 'Muddy Waters' Bezetan! His despicable deed took my baby away from me. My son had just been born! I didn't even have to look at the child's face!

 The fire-breathing Arantzill vindictive voice.
 He could see that for him, the hatred of having his family taken from him was the driving force behind the fight.

''The Four Heavenly Kings........Bezetan.......?
''Ah, I knew you knew Granbaza-sama?

 He's the oldest of the demon race now.
 I didn't know this.

"He took away your child? A newborn baby?
'Yes! From that time on, I vowed in my heart to kill the Demon King and destroy the Demon Clan to clear the regret of my wife and children!

 Granberza-sama made a difficult expression.
 After all, even though he was an enemy, couldn't he accept a heavy episode?

"Dariel.
Yes?
Did I ever tell you the details of how I met you?

 ?
 No?
 Something about picking me up as a baby marooned on a battlefield?

''As a matter of fact.......the circumstances that led to your acquisition have a lot to do with the former Four Heavenly Kings Bezetan.......!

 So I don't know him at all?

It's true that he was a dishonest and insufferable man, and even his allies hated him. The most despicable means of targeting not a direct opponent, but a person related to that opponent, is also understandable when it is said that he is using it. I can't understand or sympathize with that, but...!

 Um, what the hell are you talking about?

I was the one who took care of Bezetan's last moments. "I was the one who took care of Bezetan's last days. When I arrived at the scene, he had his stomach ripped open, his hands and feet cut off and his eyes smashed in. It would make sense now that it was the result of a grudge.

 Arantzill responded to that narrative.
 'I think it's because he is the one who accomplished that atrocity,' he said.

'Bezetan said at last,' he said. 'I left my trump card. The last thing Bezetan said was, 'I have left you a trump card, if you use it well, you will be able to defeat the brave men. I told him where the "trump card" was hidden and then he died after putting it away.

 And then, after following that last instruction, I found it....

'It was a young infant. Dariel, it's you.....

 Seriously?

'The baby is the trump card.... I didn't understand it at the time. My first thought was that this was Bezetan's son, and if the child who inherited his father's brilliance grew up, he would become the elite of the overthrowing heroes.

 But the child would later turn out to be of the human race.

More and more I didn't understand. But by then, Dariel was my irreplaceable son and I no longer cared about Bezetan's will. But.....

 Now the situation begins to make sense.
 The pieces that are missing from each other, and the picture that emerges is....

 The son of a brave man who was once the son of the Four Heavenly Kings.
 After the death of the Four Heavenly Kings, a baby was entrusted to him by his colleague, Lady Granbaza.
 Although the child was among the demon race, he was a human.

 I'm going to have to say that the baby is me, who has grown up.

Hmmm?

 All eyes in the room are focused on me.

 I know.
 I know what everyone is thinking.

'Oh no, coincidences happen.
Mr. Dariel! Don't turn your back on reality!
'It's just too much to put away by chance!

 I know, I know, I know!
 There's more to me than I can take in!

..........

 When I turned around, the previous brave Arantzill was also staring at me.

 An emotion of a kind I had never felt before dwelt in me.
 An emotion too complex for even me, who lived for more than thirty years, to discern.

''You....................''
Yes?
You're my son? I thought you were dead over 30 years ago...?
"Well?

 Blah blah blah!
 And they beat me. From both Radey and Zebiantes.

'Why don't you make an assertion there!
'There's a limit to how far you can go!

 That's why I can't take it anymore!

 I've learned that facts have an allowance, and if you go beyond that, your mind can't swallow the facts.
