Chapter 13 (1/2)

Chapter 13 – Confession＊

Though it was established that it would be fine to talk about Luru and Iris’ situation, where to begin was one of the re problems

It was just that Luru was of the demon race, but there was the proble the de

However, he had also thought this through yesterday

Right now, Gran and Yuumis were one of his few infor out about the common sense of this era

He wanted to kno normal people felt about the ancient de

And since he cast a contract spell on Gran and Yuumis, no matter what they heard, they weren’t in a position to make it public

The two ht it possible to reic that Luru used was quite a strong one, so at the very least, somebody asn’t at a level where they could easily rewrite Yuuic more or less impossible, you could say

And if Luru were to believe the two of theic sequence alteration skill

In other words, they wouldn’t be able to so easily dispel Luru’s ic

On top of that, even if hypothetically they could undo the ic, even if they did reveal his past, it wouldn’t really be that big a problem

To begin with, if they went about saying that the son of a lower class noble fa froo, just who on earth would believe them?

It was hard to think of it as any huge proble such a rumour

On the contrary, it would be a bigger probleic was leaked out

However, from here on, in order to protect hiate the ancient demon race in this era, they were skills that he had no choice but to use

It would probably be difficult to completely conceal it

In other words, this infor that would eventually be leaked

Having thought like this, Luru decided that there was not a single thing about his circumstances that he needed to actively hide

It was nothingto reveal it iic on the pair

Having thought that far, Luru finally opened his mouth

“…I wonder just where I’in with, I don’t think you till believe me, but…”

It was a preface, perhaps you could say, or soe Yuumis’ mood, and she said,

“You’ve already cast the contract ic, so just speak without reserve already If this turns out to be nothing big, then it’ll be like, ‘Just what on earth were all these constraints for?‘, you know?”

Being told that, Luru realised that she was right, and thinking that he’d stop with the troubleso, he decided to just frankly state the facts

There was also the fact that he almost completely believed in Gran and Yuumis

Even if they’d betray hiivable level

“Well, you’re coood idea… but I’ll speak frankly I, and Iris as well, are of the ancient demon race”

Gran and Yuumis lost their words at the truth that was spoken so frankly, as though it were nothing

For at least a

However, were that the case, they couldn’t understand the point of Luru going as far as preparing a contract spell

Even if they spread such a lie, nobody would believe it

Also, thought it wasn’t as though there was no possibility of this being a trap for the two of them, it was h to create a barrier that even Yuu them directly would be a quicker, and more surefire choice

Having thought this far, there was no choice but to accept what Luru said as truth

Co to this conclusion in their ain their footing was Yuumis

“…’What kind of nonsense is this?’ ― is probably what I should be saying, huh?”

“I wonder about that Honestly, I don’t have much comrasp just how rare an existence the ancient demon race is, or how they’re viewed That’s why I can’t even iine what a normal reaction would be… But from what I can see about your reactions at least, it seems that just like the book I read, we de, huh…”

To Luru who said as such, Yuumis jumped up and said,

“Obviously! So fro it like me, but it’s a world of lies, fakes and delusions you know!? For so like that… to be before your eyes… Even if you said that, nobody would believe you, you know… To begin with, just how on earth can you prove this?”

“If you say that I’ll be… troubled, but for proof… at the least, the reason Iris and I could alter your barrier spell was because of that It’s not soht?”

Being told that, it seems like Yuumis’ words were stuck in her throat because she just ain

It probably hit where it hurt

Yuumis’ skill was a certainty

Fro of oddness about the fact that despite her skill in ic sequence alteration was so low

It was because of this that Luru supposed that the technique he used basically didn’t exist in this era, and thus he said what he did

After that, having watched Luru and Yuuan asking questions in an apologetic and tie build

“I’d thought that you weren’t a normal kid, but for you to be an ancient demon… But in that case, ain’t it weird? For starters, your parents are definitely nobles of this nation They have a recorded fauess that there weren’t any ancient de in those records But despite that, you say that you’re an ancient de in those ruins Because of that, it’s not like I can’t iine it but…”

It was a completely justified doubt

But there was the question of whether a human could understand the explanation

The idea of reincarnation was a concept endemic to the demon race

However, having throught that far, Luru remembered － ‘Come to think of it…‘

“Ah, right A while ago, I asked Yuumis about what she wanted to becoht?”

“…? Yeah I wanted to become a bird What about it?”

“You understand the concept of rebirth?”

“Well, yes I do It’s when the soul transht?”

At Yuu a little as she replied, Luru and Iris received a huge shock

“Luru-sama… Just what does this mean?”

“I don’t know either but… it seems that she really does understand, huh…”

Yuumis wasn’t a human, but an elf However, even so, in the past, such words co out of an elven mouth was impossible

The concept of reincarnation was endeious faith

The demon race had in the past, been dealt defeat

This being the case, the religion of the current era should have been unified, and the likes of the ancient dened to the dark oblivion of history, but it seems that at the very least, the idea of reincarnation remained

Religion was quite lacking in the village, so there were no establishht very deeply about it, but Luru now realised that it was soate

Having said that though, right now this wasn’t what they were supposed to be talking about

They were discussing Luru’s identity

Getting back on topic, Luru continued

“Well… If you understand the concept of reincarnation, then this s a lot quicker I’m not an ancient demon, per se, but somebody reborn from an ancient deenuine human, and my parents are both humans as well”

“Re-, -born… So there really was rebirth after all…!”

“It wasn’t a lie, huh…? There’s still so after death, huh…”
