169 Under the blue sky (Chapter 8 Epilogue) (1/2)

Black haired wise man Chiyuki

Praise for Rage is echoing around them.

They got rid of the blue dragon Azimid and the dragon man (Dragontead) who attacked them.

People are rejoicing at the reclaimed wetlands.

It's like a festival.

With more farmland, many people will be able to live there.

However, it will lead to taking away the place for those living in the wetlands to live.

In the original world, there were no sub-humans such as skale-people (lizardmen).

That's why it didn't bother me. However, even in the original world, many creatures must have died along with the development of humanity.

That's why I sighed.

''What's going on?　Mr. Chiyuki?　Is something bothering you?

Before I know it, Nao has come to my side and is looking into my face.

Those big cat-like eyes are staring at me curiously.

'It's nothing. Nao. It's just something that's been bothering me a bit.'

I answer with a shake of my head.

In front of me, people are dancing in a circle. At the center of it all is Rage.

Rage is a hero. Some people don't like him, but if anything, they are more likely to praise him for saving people.

It reminds me of the words of the great sage Magus.

Maybe it's time to change the perception I've had of him.

'Chiyuki-san: ....... Cats shouldn't think about the feelings of mice.

What?

Nao suddenly mutters.

I can't help but look at Nao.

But then Nao doesn't look at me.

She's smiling happily at the festival.

'Well!　Nao-san here is going to join the dance!

Nao runs to Rage and his friends.

In no time at all, she reaches them and starts dancing with Reno, who was at Rage's side.

'Nao-san ....... You .......

I see Nao dancing.

When I think about it, I don't know Nao well.

That's because she never talks about herself.

I wonder what she was doing before she met him.

I'm curious. But if you ask them, they'll laugh it off.

'Shouldn't a cat think about how a mouse feels?' ......

The Great Sage said something similar.

At least we are fighting for humans. That's evident in the people in front of us who are happy to see us.

Maybe we shouldn't question that.

I can't help but think about that.

Demon King Modes.

I didn't expect you to come and take the soul orb from me. ......

I let out an exclamation.

The treasure given to me by Kuroki was definitely a soul orb (soul orb).

I knew that Zarxis had it, but I didn't expect him to take it away from me.

''Yes. It is definitely a soul orb, Your Majesty. And inside that .......

Lugas frowns.

I don't need to say more.

'I know. I can feel my mother's shadow from the jewel (orb). ......'

It's a nostalgic and very frightening feeling.

I want to forget it, but I can't.

And the back of my mind buzzed. It was an urge of destruction.

Inside my own body, my mother's power lies dormant. Touching the shadow seems to have activated it a bit.

'Perhaps Zarxis was trying to do something with the Jewel (orb) ....... 'What do we do now, Your Majesty?'

Lugas asks.

'But there's only one thing we can do.

”It's sealed. ......, Lugus. This orb must not be released into the world.

Saying that, I hand the orb to Lugus.

''I understand, Your Majesty.

Lugus is about to leave the audience room.

'By the way, Lugus, how's Kroki doing?　He doesn't seem to be here right now, does he?

Kuroki handed over the soul orb (soul orb) and went away.

Does he have something to do?

No, I don't know. It looks like he's headed north of Luvania, to the land of Alemania.

'Right. Alemania. ......

Alemania is close to Luvania. Kroki seems to be in the area.

Kroki seems to have touched his mother's shadow.

What does Kroki think of when he touches that shadow?

That's what I was thinking about.

Vampire Knight Jucio.

Oh, so this is your new home. That's an interesting place, isn't it, Jucio?

My sister, Ange, jumps around the room looking at the room.

Surely my sister is right. A castle made of sweets is rare.

We walked down the corridor made of baked goods.

I'm in the custody of the Dark Knight, the master of this castle.

The treatment is not bad. I've heard that if you don't want to be hostile, you can leave.

Maybe it's better if they aren't destroyed.

It's a good thing that you're a member of the family of death originally.

You're a good sport. You're not supposed to make a big deal out of it. We are the newcomers.

In front of my sister, she calls me by my name.

This is no longer an option.

''I know, Jussio. That dark lord seems to be kind, but his wife seems to be stern ....... We have to make sure we don't get spotted .......

My sister shakes her body.

When her sister, a ghost, shakes her body, the world around her creaks.

It is truly a poltergeist phenomenon.

Indeed, the silver-haired wife looked stern. If anything happened, she would be destroyed in a heartbeat.

However, it was time for her sister to calm down.

It would not be a good idea for the newcomers to make a lot of noise.

''Wait!　New guy!

Suddenly, you are called out.

I turn around and see what looks like a warrior in red armor with vicious spikes on it.

Maybe he was spotted for making a scene.
