Chapter 74
Hope and Despair
“What!? That man is in the demon army!?”
The king’s voice resounded
I was listening to him and was dumbfounded
“How, for what reason?” my head was in chaos
“Setsu… You…”
Betrayed us…?
Why are you on the enemy side?
I’m still in this country and yet…
Why?
“Is it the fault… of the demons?”
They’ve deceived you didn’t they?
Otherwise you, who said would come protect me, should never become my enemy
The demons… are evil
All of them, all of them I will
“Kill”
The king and the others turned to look at me
I wonder, what kind of eyes was the me at that time seen with?
“I will… kill everyone”
I have to save Setsu――――――――――
“I guess I did it”
Tou a little out of breath
Theout fumes and the barrel had heat
(I can’t attack for a while now that I’lad this settled it)
A gigantic crater was round and clouds of dust came out from it
The cloud was especially dense in the center, he could not confirure who should be in the center
However, Setsu’s er be felt
He should not have died
At the very least he should not have any ic power left
Touic poas also exhausted, but it was not like he could not fight
With this, Touma’s victory was clear
(… First point is to confiruess)
Touround
The ed into a fortress was slow
Just to be sure he round and finally arrived at the center of the crater
That time――――――――
“――――――――――Finally you’ve coe for me eh?”
“Gh! Setsu!?”
The clouds cleared up
Inside the crater firmly stood Setsu
His feet were stepping firround
“This is bad!”
“Open it much wider! Gluttony!”
Setsu thrusted <hungry fang=””> to the ground
When doing so, the edge opened its mouth
And then the ground too――――――――opened its mouth
The time is finally here
In order to not let Gluttony eat any more than this, I let it eat the beaic power, but that’s my problem now that it’s come to this
“From the looks of it, you can’t attack for a while, so you shouldn’t have any way to avoid this anymore!”
An attack with allGluttony
The ground got cracks and those tore the earth
The fissure spread out larger than the crater Touma created
“arth eater=””>” (すべてを喰らうもの; One who eats all)
“Wh what is this!?”
The ground began to spread like a large mouth
The earth gradually began to be dyed black and before long it grew fangs
This is a powerful technique that will eat up everything, a characteristic of Gluttony
“Kuh!”
Touma ran up with
The large mouth made by the earth rose and went to close its mouth in a dome shape
“I can’t let you escape now can I!?”
The size of its mouth spread out even further
“Wait! Setsu! Forgive me, okay!?”
“Too bad, I got no reason to forgive you”
“Ah――――――――――――――――”
The mouth was completely shut
I could no longer hear Touma’s voice
“It’sidiot”
“Why are you… on their side, Setsu?”
“Touma…”
It was raining this day too
Setsu and I were holding our swords and faced each other
At the center of the battlefield, while our co over
“You too, why did you participate in killing deuys aren’t even evi――――――――”
“They tricked you didn’t they!? They’re plenty of evil!”
I yell
Setsu doesn’t understand anything
He most likely has been brainwashed by them
“You’ve come to love me haven’t you Setsu!? And yet it shouldn’t be possible for you to become my enemy!”
“ …Wait what?”
He still doesn’t understand me
“Setsu, I like youI like you enough that I can give you ether okay? Let’s find a place nobody can find with the two of us and become one, okay? If it’s us then we can become happy you see! I mean, you said you will protect me for the rest of my life, didn’t you!?”
Setsu is mine
I won’t hand him over to anyone
I’ll even massacre those who stand in our way
I won’t let them split us up anymore!
“Coether?”
“――――――――――You have a few screws loose, you”
“――――――――――You have a few screws loose, you”
Setsu took out his sacred sword
It doesn’t look like words will undo their brainwashi+ng
Then, I have no choice but to turn him obedient
I don’t want to do so violent
But, if it’s for the sake of obtaining you, then――――――――
“I will hurt even you, okay?”
“Bring it on then, you big son of a bitch!”
That’s right… we began our fight like this
“… Where am I…?”
“You woke up?”
Touround finally woke up
Incidentally the ground returned to hoas before… or actually the crater is still there, but we’re in the center of it
“Why… am I aliv――――――――”
“What I let Gluttony eat was just your ulped down the entire ground, Gluttony’s stomach nearly swelled upI couldn’t afford him to eat any more than that anymore”
It’s the truth
He would not eat anything more than that
I’ Touma
“Leaving that asideYou, why didn’t ic=””>?”
If that was used, then I probably would have lost
If he applied even a curse that stops my movement, then I would be showered completely by that beam and annihilated
“ …It’s not I didn’t use it, it’s I couldn’t use it”
Said Touh his pockets
And what he took out was a gem
It was a lovely white fist-sized gem
This is the most important item for e an existence that will appear when the blood of Desastre, Levia and Gaia is absorbed by the gem and then breaks
“ … Why did Desas and Levia’s naem?”
“This is… the ge the God of creationThe God of hopes that will co the “people” in this world you see”
Tou a bitter smile
I don’t understand what he’s talking about, but the reason the black robes were after Desas and Levia seeem
What is this God of creation though?
“Well… I already lost, so I don’t need this anymore”
He threay the gem
The gehtly separated place and made a thump
“I’ve had enoughI’ll be satisfied if I’ to be killed by youIt doesn’t look like you will become mine in the end after all”
“Of course I won’tI’onna kill you”
I said while scratching my head
More like, I don’t have any ways to kill him either
“Say, I want to ask you one thingWhy won’t you kill people, Setsu?”
“… I’ formore than one person”
Touma showed a face like he didn’t understand, but that can’t be helped
Even I’m not sure about it after all
“That’s why I won’t kill even you… at e the deuard”
“ …hahah, that’s harsh”
Touhed
It was a genuine s time
“Haa… the sky looks nice”
That’s true
The sky is cleared because of our fight, so a beautiful blue sky spread out
I guess you can say it’s the sky of victory
“Yuki-ku~n!”
“Ooh, YuuhiAnd the rest of you too”
My group turned up in the distance
They’re recovered fro relieved for now
“I’lad you’re safe~!”
“Woah, don’t jump at me so suddenly”
I e into my chest
When I did so, the so to me from the side
“Mhh, Master Setsu, be a little affectionate to me as well please!”
“I want to sit on your lap”
“Aah, I get it, I get it alright?”
I say and shake myself free from the three
Upon doing that, next would be――――――――
“In that case, then pat me!”
“Pat me desu”
“Hey! Big sis and Ms Roa, you’re frolicking too much!”
Two cat girls ca onto me
I splendidly sidestep that, let theround and then stroke the stomach of the two at the same time
“Uhih! Wai-! Setsu! Sto-! Aahahahahaha!”
“Uuh~! Setsu stop… desu! Kufuh!”
“You girls be happy with this”
It’s a full blown tickling attack
They won’t move for a while with this
“B- big sis… I’ain…”
“ … You’re really a good girl aren’t you”
“Heh!? Is that, is that really so…?”
The part of you being shy fro praised is cute too you know, Mineko
Your stock right now is taking a sudden rise
“Hahaha, you’ve beco one haven’t you, Mr Setsu”
“ ‘Sup GlainI’uys are safe too”
Glain, Brad and also Ides and lily
Everyone’s safe
Hm? Come to think of it, those two are――――――――
“Touned yourself?”
Desastre asked Tou down
“YupI understand what I’ve done myselfBut, now that I’ve been rejected by Setsu, I don’t care about just about anything anymoreIf you tell me to atone foris… a little ih”
“Even if I were to be able to kill you, I will not let you die you seeReflect inside the jails of mine country and properly reevaluate how evil the deeds you have committed for the rest of your life”
“…”
After saying this much, Desastre stepped back
After saying this much, Desastre stepped back
Continuing on that, Levia went forward and called out to Touma
“I don’t have thatI want to askAnswer me”
“ …Go ahead”
“That <seal stone=””>, where did you get your hands on it?”
Levia said, pointing at the gem Touma threay
“Aah, I’ve heard an adventurer discovered in an ancient ruin soht it when it was sold in an antique shopWhether the adventurer really had discovered it is alike that for the tiated history and arrived at the God of creation”
“I get it… I guess”
Levia was racking her brains
It was too convenient of a coincidence
To begin with, that <seal stone=””> was soo to
Who in the world carried that out from such place――――――――――――
“First, I have to collect that gem――――――――――wait, where is?”
Levia noticed the fact the <seal stone=””> that should have been there until noas gone
“What’s the matter?”
Concerned about her state, Desastre stood in line beside her
It was that moment
