Chapter 30 (2/2)
[Certainly it is——haah]
Hearing that sigh, I felt surprisingly calmer
It’s the same as always I would create trouble for Erh as if fed up of me
It ht be a pain for Ermenhilde but it feels really nice to es
“It will be fine”
Mururu muttered
“I’ll protect Renji”
[…………Ha Isn’t it the other way round? Even though he’s like this, Renji is the type of s when it truly matters]
First, I got surprised by Mururu’s words, then dropped my shoulders at Ermenhilde’s
What do you et scolded a lot for not taking things seriously, I want to refute that But when you say that directly to my face, well, yeah
Rather than that, I want to think of h I said I’ll be the bait, there is no way that shi+tty skeleton will fall for a easy to understand trick If only I had so to lure it
My ar But I stillin pessietic
“I’er one”
[………Oi, so she says Renji Say so back]
“Can’t refute that”
[You’re supposed to!!]
But it’s true, I am no match for Mururu with only two of my conditions of my covenants cleared
At that, I reached at the question, why even two of the covenants had been cleared
One iswill it’s the usual one But then what is the other one?
I have not h to protect her In fact, I a actually protected
Death of my comrades That is not cleared until I accept it myself I don’t think Aya and the others have died The re two should be impossible to be cleared in this situation One of them needs me to talk with the Goddess directly and the other—— will never be cleared ever again No matter what
Then—
“That thing is a descendant of the Demon God……?”
[What?]
“Our covenants Back then ere fighting, two of them had been released”
[Yes, that’s right But weren’t those your fighting will and to protect this beast woman?]
“I was the one getting protected you know?”
[……as usual, you self-depreciate too much]
Even if you say that, it was a fact In that fight, I had been unable to do anything
“Covenants?”(mururu)
“It’s a secret between me and Erht at full strength”
“Even though you ht die yourself?”
“Yes, even if I ht die”
This is really such a sad tale To be unable to fight at full strength even when IShe really is an ill-natured Goddess, seriously I think so from the bottom of my heart
“……You’re weird”
Saying that, Mururu trehter while in my embrace
“What happened?”
“What can we do to so you can fight at full strength?”
Even if you ask that, I had no way of answering this girl’s question
If I cannot use th, that er But, I just can’t use it I’ll need some reason to protect her……or maybe, I’ll have to sacrifice Mururu, who I ath That’s the liless
I don’t want anyone to die I don’t want to abandon theo of the bonds I have I don’t want to lose the warirl inside my arms Really—–the cheat I wished for is a warped and twisted To protect someone, I first have to sacrifice soest To do that, to beco someone most dear to me
“Then promise me”(Renji)
“Promise?”
“That you won’t die no matter what That’ll you live No ive up”
Let’s end this once and for all
We will et out of this shi+tty forest as well
The Sun has yet to fully set but that will also end soon The night isn’t far away It will soon be the time for the undead to roam freely
“If you can pro with everyone else”(Renji)
There was so death
Afraid, shi+vering uncontrollably, crying, unable to ave me war to me I wonder, if that person also felt like this back then
‘I want to protect this life that I hold within ht like that……
I cannot ht now, but maybe someday——-
“I promise you I will definitely take all of you safely to the capital I won’t let you die”
Yes, that’s why I cannot die here I have overcoer of this level countless ti, that thing is nothing more than a clump of bones
I made a promise——” I will show you the world” Let alone half, I haven’t even shown one fourth of it right now
“Alright, I promise”(Mururu)
“good, then I promise as well”
I swore
The pro it out loud, I carved it inside my mind
—– This tionist, I am a God slayer
If the eneht I can kill it I exist for that reason, and Ermenhilde is the weapon to fulfil that reason
After killing the De his descendants——- I searched for a way to live other than as a weapon for Er weapon even in this world where a God slaying weapon was not needed any more
For this selfish wish of mine that even the Goddess could not fulfil, I cannot die here
“I will not die”(Mururu)
“I will definitely not let you die We’ll all live and go to the capital”
I closedfrom her, different from my oeat or the irl
My heart calht process is kind of perverted but I needed some way to calhts towards Mururu
She is in her teens The sae Aya had when she was summoned here
If I tried to lay a hand on her, I will be an inexcusable pervert In the first place I’ll probably get beaten before I try sohts of actually doing so disappear frohter to me
I had only closed my eyes for a second
[fu this to Aya later]
“Try to read the mood, you idiot”
[That aside, Renji]
It didn’t even try to refute it Sometimes it really acts very humanlike
[Will you protect me as well?]
“Have no fear”
While sighing, I got out fro so mischievous
There were no zombies Probably, that skeleton is not here either I couldn’t hear it nor could sense it I’ is really a descendant of the De But, I’m sure that it will definitely try to attack me, who is wounded, over Mururu
For now, I asked Mururu to hide herself inside that hollow of the tree Noe just have to wait for it to jump on the bait that is h to fall for a plan like this
Slightly away from that tree hollow, I sat doith ht hand still hurts but thanks to that, my head feels clear
“If we die, we die together partner”
[……… I honestly don’t feel very happy about that]
If possible, I hope it attacks is before its night time
I wonder if I’ too optimistic?
Now that I think about it, I wonder howthat she wasn’t really surprised at Ermenhilde’s voice, she must know my connection Aya and the others—-to the heroes
After the fight is over, I think I should ask her For that reason as well, let’s just quickly get rid of that shi+tty skeleton Thinking till that, I gave a sigh
Was this a death flag?
