The End of the Journey [Return of the Glowing Brave]

"Apparently, you succeeded"

Make sure the body of the brave man (I) glowed, or the goddess said so. Apparently, the operation was a success...

"Ah, Demon King, you can move now."

"... Really?

The demon king, who plunged into the ground and only looked like a corpse on the way to being buried, replied and got up muckled. It was unusually realistic and full of corpses, but apparently it lived properly.

... Good, I'm really glad I didn't kill you.

"Master Demon, your body seems to be dirty with dirt, please wipe it with this. Please leave your clothes in the laundry basket when you leave."

"Yeah, thanks, Alice"

Alice offers you a wet towel that you removed from somewhere, and the Demon King wipes your face with it.

"Still, that was amazing acting. I really thought he was dead."

"Hehe, the Demon King doesn't die about that. I would have killed you a hundred years ago if I was going to die."

"Haha, there's a trick to pretending to be dead. The point is to stop the heart."

It was a bickering, somewhat noisy conversation for, but we chat as usual. He said he was stopping his heart earlier if he thought it was a somewhat real dead pretend. Though I don't think the heart was something I could stop at my own will.

We chat without other love, but in the meantime, the light emitted from my body is getting a little stronger. Perhaps, but the time is approaching to return.

"By the way, Goddess, how much longer can you return to the original world?

'Right, because the summoning ceremony is certainly up and running... you have about five hours left'

I had plenty of time.

"So, Demon King, why don't you get dressed now?

"Well, let's do that"

I thought it would be something to go home as soon as I somehow got done, so I subtly spare some time.

"So what are you waiting for in this place for hours? Shall we move the place?

"Right, well, for now, even in the usual restaurant."

I also agreed with Alice's suggestion that the faces that were on the spot would move the place with Zorozolo.

With more than four hours left, it's shabby to do nothing, but it's a delicate time to be short when it comes to doing something.

"Now let's also prepare something to eat because it means a farewell party for the brave. We don't have much time, so it's just a simple thing."

"Well, that's great,"

"Yes, I think wax is a good idea too"

Kamiko & Goddess raised their hands to agree with Alice's thoughts. I wouldn't dare ask if you thought ”farewell party” or ”food” would be great.

Alice headed to the kitchen with the demon king who finished dressing. Mr Cosmos and all the homunculus prepared it just for drinks first, so I decide to wait while I drink the juice.

In the meantime, the light of my body slowly grows stronger.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Brave man. I don't know what else to thank you for..."

"Yes, no. It fits in all directions like this, and don't worry too much"

A king has thanked me for getting more rap than usual with alcohol in it. I also don't think I did much of a brave thing after all.

"No, without you, there would never have been such a thing as humans and demons joining hands. It's a lot harder than just defeating an enemy."

As far as I'm concerned, it just seems like the world has come to peace on its own while being flushed to completion, but it also seems to me that I'm kind of a big human being when I'm told that.

"Yes, let's build your statue in Wang Du. A giant golden statue of bravery that can be seen from anywhere in the capital..."

"Stop that!

What kind of punishment game is it? Besides, a golden statue is so much for wasting taxes. There could be a riot even though we have made peace because of it.

"I thought it was a good idea..."

"Sorry, just give me a break"

For the record, when a bronze statue of a brave man was built in Wang Capital at a later date following the opinion of this time, there was a case of a dissatisfied people arriving in the royal castle on the grounds that the statue of a brave man was copper. Besides, he said, "What a waste of money on a statue of a brave man!" For that reason.

A savior brave man who made peace with the demonic tribe, which has been an enemy since history; what do you use it for without taxes to make that statue; if you don't have any money in your treasury, let it drive you enough to raise extraordinary taxes; a statue of brave men deserves something as luxurious as sprinkling jewels in pure gold, etc. The popularity of brave men had grown so much so far without their knowledge.

Ultimately, the case was resolved by explaining that the king himself was in front of the people and that it was the intention of the brave men themselves that the statue was a bronze statue, and that it came from the consideration that the taxes collected from the people should be used not for themselves but for the people. But that's how the episode of the brave considering the people also fueled her to become even more popular.

Blink......

Approximately three hours to the scheduled return time. The light emitted from my body was increasing in intensity.

"I thought this was cool when I made the opera ceremony, but this performance was a failure."

"Oh, could it just be a performance, this light? It's not like there's some kind of glowing inevitability."

"Yeah, my old taste is pretty subtle in return after time...... oh, but it sounds like it would be useful when walking the night lane or something"

As you can see from the current exchange, my body is already shining. Wearing fluorescent paint from your head won't shine this far. It's as if I even became a light bulb.

But I don't want to walk down the road in this state.

I reached out to take the sandwich I had on the table, blinding myself to the light emitted from my body.

'Ah, brave man, don't move suddenly! Isn't that dazzling?'

The goddess has protested with Punska as she turned away. Irrational...

"Here you go, brave man."

"Thank you, Mr. Cosmos. Oh, I can finally see normal."

A certain glimpse of everyone speaking with their backs to me in so much blindness was finally resolved when sunglasses were distributed to everyone. Now that there's no one left in the fantasy world wearing sunglasses, that turned into a different sight, but it's somewhat better than talking with your back turned.

"And you used to have sunglasses?

"This is a failure of a prototype item as a new product of the store."

"Is that a failure? It doesn't seem like a problem with sunglasses."

"No, these aren't sunglasses. These are prototypes of" glasses whose clothes look clear. "If you fail to adjust the magic that you can put in the lens, it becomes so black and cloudy."

"... what are you trying to make, you"

"So." Glasses whose clothes look clear. "Are you interested in listening back? The boulders are just so horny."

"No!

I almost got dressed in terrible wet clothes on a level rarely seen in history. If you don't open your mouth, you're a cool silver-haired beauty. Aren't the contents a sexually harassing demon or something, a little too charming, this guy?

"One more person combines sister and sister attributes, besides external attributes, with an actual age of 0 years. No, it's quite a thing while I'm at it."

"Please don't read my mind!

Where the hell is this guy going?

◆ ◆ ◆

It had been nearly three hours while I was chatting and eating and drinking with somehow. If you're on schedule, you should be home in about two hours. My body too. It is already shining like the sun. It's nothing hot, and the goddess said it wouldn't hurt her eyes to look directly at it.

But it's time for the boulders to run out of talk. I thought I could go home right after I fought the Demon King in the first place, so I've already said goodbye in advance. There's no such thing as a story at a farewell party. There's no such variation, and you can't keep eating indefinitely except for one person and one pillar.

"I don't know, more like this... I was imagining something like an emotional breakup."

"Yeah. Well, it's not a bad idea to not have a very sad vibe,"

I'll have a conversation with Alice in her sunglasses, but I can't keep talking about it. It's an exquisite time in a sense that it's short to sit in or sleep in.

"Topic, topic...... right, love story (coibana) or something? How have you been with the Demon King lately?

It's kind of like a school trip night topic, but I casually came up with something to talk about. For once I tried to say it in a hissohisso voice so that no one else could hear it, but the reaction was more than I imagined.

"Hey...!? Nothing between me and the Demon King... I mean, why is the Demon King's name!?"

I don't know what to do!

Or if you shout so loud, you'll sound like the Demon King, won't you?

We moved to the corner of the store to continue our conversation in a whisper.

"Why, you'd normally notice that if you looked at it, wouldn't you?

"Oh no...!

Specifically, within three days or so of meeting, I noticed. This is not because my observational eye is superior, but because her attitude was too obvious. This is a level where I wonder if I'd be a little bit of a teenage girl if I didn't notice.

Instead, I remember being surprised that we live together but our marriage hasn't even gone out with us. I haven't touched it before because apparently it was the wind Alice wanted to hide her feelings, but at the end of the day it would be good.

"No, if you look, you'll find out."

"What do you mean you found out... so much?

"Not so much."

I assured you without hesitation. Looks like Alice was shocked at a lot of that.

"From what I've seen, you've noticed all the Demon King Army people and Mr. Homncrus... strange and the Demon King himself doesn't seem to notice"

"Oh, really..."

Alice has such complex expressions as happy and sad ones. After seeing how it went, I decided to spend the rest of my time in this world for this clumsy friend.

"From what I've seen, I'm pretty sure the Demon King has a thing for Alice."

"It's true!

That's why my voice is so loud.

"But that favor isn't meant in a romantic way, it's the type that goes to friends and subordinates. It's not Love, it's Lyke."

"Oh, really..."

Alice changes her corny expression every time I utter a word. It's really worth the tease and it's funny...... I'm a worried friend.

"Perhaps the Demon King is not interested in women..."

"No!?"

"... aren't you interested in romance itself, not...?

"Oh, right! Otherwise, I'm in trouble. No, I'm not interested in romance, either."

By the way, I deliberately separated the words. Even if I know I shouldn't, I want to make fun of you. This shouldn't be, this play is addictive.

"The Devil King's bluntness is honestly on a level I wonder if it's a bit. I don't think you'll notice how Alice feels after hundreds of years like this."

"That's... I noticed too thinly..."

Well, they both seem to have a much longer life span than humans, so you might notice a boulder in a thousand years or so.

"So the point is to make a clear statement of intent from yourself anyway. Otherwise, it won't start."

"From me... clearly..."

"And you should hurry as much as you can. There are places like early winners, so if you put it off forever, others might take it."

"Ugh... Speaking of which, there's been a conversation between us."

"Is that what you already talked about? Anyway, if you don't hurry up, they'll take it, for example..."

”For example... with me. ”

I swallowed that word without saying it.

Somehow they helped me where I was homesick and mentally weak, and they taught me a lot of kindness, something I didn't know, and they played with me, and... No, it was love.

The brave (I) am in love with the Demon King (Him).

But I made it my priority to return to the original world. I chose to return to Japan with my balance of things and their emotions. So you do not deserve me to utter that word.

Besides, I like Alice, too. I like Alice, who thinks of the Demon King. So after all my thoughts about Minori and friendship and all that, I decided to support her. Totally broken, it's still hard to say, but I thought this was the best place to feel down.

"Keep up the good work"

"Yes!"

Otherwise, I will not be rewarded.

Then I spent over an hour giving Alice as much advice as I could think of. Is it a shame you can't see the occasion to take advantage of that advice? Or are you glad you can't see it? I'm not sure about that myself.

◆ ◆ ◆

'It's about three minutes away, are you ready?

"... Yes"

At first, I felt a long wait was just a few moments away.

Feelings that were loose along the way are also tightened to boulders, and your hands feel sweaty due to tension. It should be noted that the light is too strong and the sunglasses are no longer ready for use, so everyone has already removed them. I can't get around much because I have too many eyelids and poor vision, but let them gamble there because they're all wearing sunglasses to the end and they're too surreal to drop off or something.

'Returning is the time and place just before the brave (you) come to this world. You may be physically and mentally shocked by sudden environmental changes, but calm down, don't panic on the way back'

A long time ago, in a serial atmosphere, the goddess conveyed to me the precautions. My memory is a little blurred because I came to this world more than a year ago, but I was in a school classroom until just before I was summoned to this world. I guess I was just about to go home after class.

I take a deep breath and calm my feelings. I have anxiety, but I tell myself I'm fine.

'Then we don't have time for this anymore. This will be the last time, anything you want to tell me?

What I want to tell you. What I have to say. I just thought about it a little bit, and then I opened my mouth.

"... thanks..."

I came to this world, and it was tough.

Sometimes it was hard and sad.

There were those who helped me.

There were those whom I helped.

I had been thanked by someone who helped me.

We played together and ate delicious food.

I made a dear friend.

...... I have someone I like.

I'm not saying that everything is a good memory now...... but when I remember things in this world, words of nature and gratitude came out.

"Thank you...... I will never forget you guys when I return to the original world......!

At some point, it was pouring out of my eyes and tears.

Everyone in front of me is crying, or smiling, and mouthing farewell words.

Light is gaining even more strength. There won't be many seconds left.

"I... see you all... good!

The moment I finished saying that word, the intensity of the light culminated, and when that light subsided a moment later, the girl called the brave had completely disappeared from this world.
