Chapter 347 It was About How She was Once the Demon Lord (2/2)
I’m getting even more confused. When I heard the story from Alice, I didn’t think too much about what the Demon Lord was thinking when she invaded the Human Realm.
However, if that Demon Lord was actually Dr. Vier…… Then, why did a kind…… Why did a woman who should have been kind like her do such a thing? A question like that just surged out from within my mind.
[……I was picked up by Kuromu-sama about 8000 years ago, I think. One of those days, I noticed that there was a shadow hidden beneath Kuromu-sama’s smile.]
[……That’s……]

[Unnn. I’m sure Miyama-kun would know about it as the person who had saved Kuromu-sama…… At that time though, I didn’t understand why Kuromu-sama had that look on her face.]
[…………….]
[However, one thing was clear to me: I didn’t want her to be sad. So, I thought about it a lot. I thought, and thought…… and ended up making a hopelessly big “misunderstanding”.]
Each word uttered with deep regret seemed to pierce my heart, and I was wrapped up in an emotion I couldn’t quite describe.
Sympathy? Anger? Pity? Concern? All of them seemed to be the right answers, but all of them seemed to be wrong.
[In the past, Kuromu-sama and the others challenged the Gods to a battle. I didn’t know the details, but that legend was widely known in the Demon Realm…… I thought that Kuromu-sama’s sorrow was because she was unable to defeat the Gods.]
[……That is……]
[Unnn. Looking back on it now, I should have known that the kind Kuromu-sama would never think of such a thing. But at that time, I didn’t have the composure to think……. Just having the thought of such a deed being for Kuromu-sama’s sake, I wasn’t able to think straight.]
[……Then, the reason Dr. Vier invaded the Human Realm was because……]

[……I wanted to make Kuromu-sama the king of the world. So that no one would hurt Kuroma-sama’s feelings, so that no one would make Kuromu-sama sad…… I thought of making Kuromu-sama the one standing on the absolute top of the world. I thought that doing so would be my way of repaying Kuromu-sama for raising me……. I seriously thought of such things.]
[……………………]
I probably should have said something. But still, no words came out of my mouth.
After all, the person herself already understands her mistake. She helplessly regrets it, and even now, she continues her never-ending atonement.
That’s why I, who didn’t know at that time, can’t reproach Dr. Vier…… nor could I comfort her.
[I was really…… really stupid. I’ve hurt lots of people…… It feels agonizing. It feels painful…… Every time I hurt someone with my hands, it feels so painful that I felt like crying. However, I’ve been fooling myself with the excuse that this is for Kuromu-sama…… I’ve continuously done all these stupidities, until Hikari defeated me.]
[………………]
I’m not sure if it was because she was being reminded of that time or not, but big drops of tears began flowing down Dr. Vier’s eyes.
Ahh, as I thought, she really is…… a helplessly kind and loving person. That’s also the reason why she had become this distorted and continued to suffer until today.

[Even though Hikari had beaten me, I still didn’t give up…… I tried to make my battered body stand up and make Kuromu-sama the king of the world…… but it was at that moment that Kuromu-sama appeared before us……]
[………………]
[Kuromu-sama…… was “crying”…… Looking at the battered me, she sorrowfully cried…… Even though what I wanted was for Kuromu-sama to not cry anymore…… Even though I wanted to protect Kuromu-sama…… The person who hurt Kuromu-sama’s feelings the most was me.]
[……Dr. Vier.]
As tears ceaselessly flowed in her eyes, Dr. Vier began to talk about those days as if she were repenting.
It was the story of a Demon and the important existence that she wanted to protect, even if she had to bend her principles…… but because of a big misunderstanding, she hurt that important existence more deeply than anyone else……
Dear Mom, Dad————- What Dr. Vier said was something I hadn’t expected, and in the end, I don’t think I was able to say or understand much of it. However, one fact is for sure———– It was about how Dr. Vier was once the Demon Lord.
Serious-senpai should be smiling after seeing this.

T/N: And this would be the final chapter for the year. I was originally planning to have some break on Dec. 16, but since the Vier’s arc is so long that I don’t think I would be able to post all of it even after Christmas, I decided to take my break early. Though I said that, I will still probably be translating chapters, but I will be back after the new year comes. Expect for the large drops of chapters at that time, but until then, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
