Chapter 296 – THIS IS THE END (4)
Everywhere was a sea of blood. We sat down on the floor and wiped the sweat from our foreheads. Everywhere I looked, there were only corpses, and the screams of the wounded continued. The corpses of demons were lying on the floor, dismembered. A large demon sprawled where I sat. An exceptionally large man, he killed him by striking him twice in the head with his mace.
“Father…! Are you okay?”
“Cool… Yes, james. I’m glad you’re okay.”
In one corner, Albus and James were having a rich conversation. Albus sat down in his place his, coughing. His face was bruised and his armor was a bit crumpled, but he did not appear to be mortally wounded. James was also bruised, but he was walking and moving as if he was covered in the blood of someone else.
He knelt in front of Albus and said.
“Father! As you said, you cut down 100 Love Cultists and additionally cut 10 demons. Are you allowing me to marry Mila now?”
“…Let’s go back and talk.”
It was a love story that always made me cry. Elsie nodded next to me and said.
“Mila is lucky. Because she got such a nice guy.”
“Elsie is happy to have a man like me, right?”
“So good.”
Elsie naturally hugged me. Eve leaned her head on my back and let out a deep breath. A.A was staring blankly into space at her, with her sword stuck in her floor. The war was over, but no one was thinking of moving. Only James, who was about to marry Mila, was running wild with energy.
For a while, we hugged each other like that. The priest’s clothes were damp. I could feel the blood-soaked clothes drying out. The soldiers got up one by one and began to clear the bodies of their dead comrades. There was no such thing as the joy of a winner on a face full of grief. I clicked my tongue and touched the mace. Said A.
“Shall we go? The day is drawing to a close. It gets cold when the sun goes down.”
I grabbed Ai’s outstretched hand and stood up from her seat her. Eve, who had been leaning against me, fell flat on top of the demon’s corpse. She got up after me, stroking her hair her. I held her hand her and lifted her up. Elsie, who was clinging to me, came along as I got up. The road going in a different direction with the soldiers. Said A.
“After all, I didn’t find out about Evangeline.”
“We’ll have to be satisfied with stopping the great conspiracy.”
“I could have done better…”
Aye said as she stroked her own sword. It was as she said. Because it was a problem that no one could die and end. It was my fault for not thinking that Sivanne would have made a backup plan. Said A.
“I should have been a little more careful. I should have killed him right away.”
“Who would have thought that such a filthy magic would be used? It’s not your fault. It’s okay. Warrior.”
“Thanks. Priest.”
Of course, going undetected wasn’t my fault until I said it out loud. When I handed over the responsibility to Ai, I felt her heart her calm. My heart was still pounding, but my body didn’t move vigorously, probably because I had used up all my energy in her. Eve said.
“Groom. Your eyes are shining.”
“Isn’t it cool?”
“How did you do it?”
“I don’t know either.”
I checked the status window while making a rough excuse to Eve.
Remaining Time: 1 minute
It seemed that soon the time for these twinkling eyes would be over. I blinked and clicked my tongue. I wanted to see you in the mirror. In the end, I couldn’t see it. As we were walking, Elsie pointed to my face and said,
“Priest. The light disappeared from her face.”
“Speaking like that makes me feel like I’m dead. Elsie.”
“Is it?”
As soon as the buff effect disappeared, greater fatigue came in. Feeling heavy fatigue as if dozens of sacks of rice had been placed on my shoulders, I forcibly straightened my back and gritted my teeth. A.A asked me about my appearance of her.
“Are you tired?”
“Little bit. I’m a bit sleepy. I’m going to go to the barracks today and go to bed right away.”
“Then I will report for you, so go to sleep first. You’ve had a lot of work today.”
“No. We should go together.”
I rejected Ai’s tempting offer and moved on to her. It was heavier because Elsie was next to her. But she looked like Elsie was having a hard time, and she was sticking next to me humming her song her, so she decided to leave it alone.

A chain was placed around Sieri’s neck her. It was a mana suppression chain made for efficient restraint. Since there was no precedent of capturing a demon alive, the wizards were also struggling with how to imprison Sieri. Soya was still clinging to her side her, her Sieri her, soothing her.
“It’s okay. Mr. Sierra. This is, this is like, she must have been cursed or something. Misunderstandings will be resolved when the priest comes…”
“…It’s not a misunderstanding. I’m the devil Mr Soya. You don’t have to defend me.”
There was no hope on Sieri’s face. She was looking outside the barracks as if writing down her will. Her fierce-looking soldiers and wizards pointed their staffs and spears at her. She was praying that this moment would pass quickly. Her storm is most unsettling just before it arrives, so she braces herself for the ordeal to come. Maybe Lucius doesn’t recognize himself. As soon as he saw it, he would be started and ask for an explanation of the situation, and the wizard would explain everything. What kind of expression will Lucius make after hearing the story? Upset? Will you despise Either way, Sieri was heartbroken for her.
I never wanted a life like this. She only wanted to live happily with Lucius, but her heart her ached because her world her didn’t seem to allow that. As she wiggled her body, her people reacted as sharply as if she had touched her powder keg her.
“Don’t move!”
“Ah yes…”
Sieri bowed her head at their cry and apologized again. Surprised that at least one magical shot would fly, Soya put up her shield and held her hand tightly. Sieri looked in the direction of the battlefield again. Far away the army was returning.
****
The atmosphere was strange. As soon as I came back, people looked at me with talkative faces. What? Are you preparing for racism? It was very unpleasant to see those eyes as if they were anxious to deliver some heavy news. Tired and sensitive, I said with a frown.
“What do you have to say?”
“Oh, once that… Write a report, and then… I will let you know.”
When I heard this story, it meant that it was a serious problem that would interfere with the preparation of the report. As soon as I heard that, I clicked my tongue. What the hell is going on? Said A.
“Because we were together anyway. I will write it for you.”
“No. We write together.”
If A.A wrote it alone, there was a strong possibility of a fucking misunderstanding in the content statement. In particular, I had to explain the part where Cutlass took me while calling me the Demon King to avoid annoying misunderstandings. I simply scribbled out the statement with A.A., Eve, and Elsie. After verifying that there were no discrepancies by comparing them with each other, they were included in the report Lionel Albus posted.
As soon as Eve came out of the barracks, she stretched and said,
“Oh, groom. Let’s go to bed soon I am tired.”
“Right. I think we should all go and sleep together. Come warriors too. Our bed is large.”
“… I’ll sleep separately.”
“… Do you want to go first? I’ll come back after hearing the report from earlier.”
At that, Eve said with a growl.
“Shall we go together?”
“Me too. I will go with you.”
“You must be tired, but rest. It wouldn’t be that important.”
Is there a problem with the manor? I didn’t show it, but I was a little anxious. Eve said.
“I’m also worried about something.”
Having said this, I couldn’t help it. We parted ways with A.A. And went back to the group of soldiers and asked them.
“So, what was the story you were trying to tell earlier?”
“Would you like to come this way? Rather than explaining it in words, we thought it would be faster to see it in person…”
What? What happened? Me, Eve, and Elsie followed the soldiers into the barracks. People around me heard stories like “The Devil has appeared” And that the barracks were in an uproar. Eve whispered.
“Did you catch a strange one?”
“I know. But why did you call us out?”
****
I saw Lucius walking in the distance. Sieri was trembling with fear as her face was pale. She was already afraid of the future. Soya held her hand tightly and began to reassure her.
“Miss Sierra. It’s okay. Yeah? There’s no way the lord would be rude to Sieri-san. Yes?”
“Yeah, but… Still… I’m the devil…”
“Because it’s okay. Calm down. Yes?”
Sieri was afraid of Lucius’ first words her. She was afraid that he would see her and ask who she was. Lucius was chatting with Eve and Elsie with a face that didn’t know anything. What will they look like again? Won’t you be disappointed? Will Elsie get angry again?
Sieri closed her eyes tightly.
****
What the hell was going on, telling people to come and go without even explaining it? I just followed where they lead with a puzzled face. Both Eve and Elsie blinked with drowsy faces and frowned. Our mood was gloomy even though we hadn’t even heard the dark news.
On the verge of murder, a soldier pointed to someone in chains and said,
“This is it.”
****
Lucius was watching. Sieri turned his head and shook his body. I was afraid of what he might say. Lucius, who matched the soldier’s fingers and looked at Sieri, opened his mouth.
“Sieri?”
“Huh…”
Sieri shuddered at the mere mention of his name his, then looked back at Lucius with a dazed expression. He recognized himself at once. Lucius said while looking at the mages who surrounded Sieri with a bewildered face.
“Why is Sierra doing this here? This is my wife. Please release the restraints quickly.”
“Priest. I can’t seem to make up my mind right now, but that woman is a demon. The priest was tricked by the devil…”
“However you judge our Sieri is free, but please break the bonds first. I’ve never seen my woman tied up like this.”
The wizard frowned and faced Lucius.
