Chapter 25 (1/2)

The sensation of floating in dark water

『The dream ends』

I understand that I’m in a threshold somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness

If I look down, I see an endless darkness, and if I look up, there’s a bright, wavering water surface

「Kaito」

Suddenly, a flickering shadow appears before me

The voice that calls my name sounds incredibly distant and hazy

「Leticia」(Kaito)

The person that has appeared before me has beautiful hair of a deep, blood-like color that could be described not as red, but as crimson Her black pupils shi+ne just as powerfully as her hair

The clothing that covers her body, which is too small to be called that of an adult, is the black dress of the Demon Lord It’s exactly the same as when I saw her for the final time

This is the 47th Demon Lord, Leticia Lew Harstone

「Kaito, come and see h tolike that in my dreams?」(Kaito)

I let out words of self-derision without thinking

How pathetic, to be like this just after seeing so to rely on someone I once killed with ht Just once, I’ll coo and see her properly

In this second ti but sentiet my own emotions in order; it’s an act of atonement to satisfy iveto her, I never intend to appear before her again

So in the words I say to her, I need to convey,『I’ back then』, and『Goodbye, I hope you find happiness』

「This time, I’ll definitely coive you half the world, so take revenge with me』」(Kaito)

In this second tie for I don’t intend to tell her I’ll put an end to everything myself

So it’s obvious that my words will be rejected

And so they will be htly words of repentance to punish myself

Even if my words won’t be understood; even if she will reject me

Because back then, she said those words tothe same

I’ll definitely come and say these words to you

Because if I do that, I should definitely be able to give up on you

Because even if you’re not byon you

Ah, but –

「It’s a little bit of a shame that I can’t be by your side after I die in this world a second time, I suppose」(Kaito)

「 -sama, to-sama」

「M shaken gently, and as I open htly-red face

I realize that I fell asleep When I succuainst the ith one ofdown horizontally And actually, whatever is behind , Goshujin-sahtmare, you know?」(Minnalis)

TLN: Means ”master”, as most should know Previously translated as “milord”

「Hmm? Ah, I had a little dream about the past More importantly, this is」(Kaito)

「This is, you know, the『Guardians’ Chaht, so I used my『Poison Demon of Phantom Flames』too much and the mana intoxication」(Minnalis)

Huess I failed to suppress it

When nothing is happening, Minnalis doesn’t get carried away; she maintains her position as a slave and keeps her stability

Perhaps e me sleep on her lap, she tries and fails to maintain a poker face and her voice wavers

I wonder if it would be bad for , would it be bad forits face out in front of me, but I suppress it with my self-control as an adult

I won’tfro with someone’s behavior while they’re drunk is inexcusable Who knohere or when it could happen to et up and shake my head, the remainders of my sleepiness andwas I asleep?」(Kaito)

「I believe it was about one hour」(Minnalis)
