240 – Memories Without Forgetting-2
The Demon King
The most hostile and powerful atrocity at the time when humans were born and the era called humanity was established.
The first wise men and saints remember.
When that being moved, the darkness of the world moved.
The moon’s invisible sea was briefly revealed to the world.
The fear of that time often appeared in nightmares during my lifetime.
The king of such fear.
[You seduced the devil?]
He called Leonardo, the lover of the warrior Ariaspil, his only love.
I confessed my love to a conceptual being whose existence was questionable as to whether emotions or gender existed.
“That can’t be possible. “Even thinking about it now makes me gag.”
Naturally, Leonardo does not think that the act is pure love or affection.
In the first place, countless lives were corrupted and died just by its existence.
His life was suddenly distorted.
If such a thing were called love, rapists and murderers would probably be called the guardians of love.
[It is shocking enough to me that that child is intelligent… But…]
{…Love… Do you really know what love is and talk about it?}
Both the wise man and Angela felt a strange sense of disgust.
In a different sense, it was a crucible of fear in that they felt pure affection at the root of the darkness that had driven Ruben and themselves to death.
“…Ah, Aria?”
Soon, Silica looked at Aria’s complexion.
Even if an ordinary woman openly confessed to Leo, the person who rushed at her with fire in her eyes was Aria Spiel.
Now, due to my mental maturity and feeling guilty about Leo, I tend to hold myself back with crazy jealousy.
“Kill the devil, kill the devil, tear the devil, kill the devil, burn the devil, kill the devil, kill the devil.”
If the opponent was the king of magic, Ariasviel had no reason to tolerate it any longer.
I feel like my heart is breaking even when I imagine that Leo is connected to a healthy and beautiful woman, but what about the devil?
‘…How dare you…! Dare…! No matter how attractive Leo is, there is so much to overcome…!’
Ariasviel repeatedly repeated the words about killing the Demon Lord so quietly that Leo could not hear them.
He knew, Heaven knew, and even the Holy Sword knew that Leo was innocent.
The only bad thing is a thief cat named Demon King who is trying to possess Leo.
‘…At least it’s not as good as the Demon King…!’
Even if Leonardo didn’t choose Aria himself… It was okay (even though it was really sad and heartbreaking and the meaning of her life was lost).
She has done countless despicable things.
Leo was struck by such a dagger to the point where his soul was cut.
I thought she deserved it.
The Demon King should not be connected to Leo.

This is an opinion that not only Aria but everyone else would agree with.
“…So…Are you saying that the Demon King liked Leonardo and restored his memories?”
Chris himself, who personally summarized the contents, asked a question with a questioning look, as if he did not quite understand it.
No matter how much Leonardo is a demonic figure who steals people’s hearts unconsciously, does this mean that it is possible to possess even an unknown being called the Demon King?
But considering Leonardo’s actions so far, the immediate answer was no.
For some reason, the thought that he would have made many women cry without any malicious intent did not seem like a simple delusion.
“Actually… That would be better.”
The meaning of those words was, ‘It can be seen that this was not the intention, and even if this was the intention, it is unpleasant.’
There was absolutely no feeling of wanting the love of the Demon King.
“…”
But Ariasviel’s eyes instantly became those of a lifeless corpse with just one word.
Like before, ‘Are you okay? ‘Do you like it?’ He said, unable to even show jealousy.
Like a shipwrecked person slowly dying, his gaze was trembling with nowhere to go.
“No! No!! In fact, this is not good at all!!”
[I know, but why are you making such a fuss as if someone was interrogating you?]
Leo cleared his throat, embarrassed that he was alone in protesting the wise man’s insensitive criticism.
Still, thanks to his correction, Ariasviel’s expression became much brighter, so perhaps this was a blessing in disguise.
“…It was clearly an action with different intentions.”
The love that the Demon King talks about probably focuses on loving someone who will become his vessel.
Even though our minds were connected, I didn’t feel any s*xual desire, let alone mental love.
“It wouldn’t be surprising if I did something using regaining my memories as a catalyst.”
It is not surprising if one’s attitude suddenly changes at some point.
Memories can be altered and behavioral patterns can change,
Something like hypnosis can be applied to trap the party members.
‘…Even if I kill everyone…’
He could not rule out the possibility that he would annihilate his comrades with all their memories.
[…I’m sorry. I should have made a decision a little sooner.]
As if he understood Leo’s feelings, the wise man bowed low and publicly apologized.
If he had restored his memories without hesitation about the price, Leo could have alleviated some of his worries about the Demon King.
I was afraid of the responsibility that would arise, so I tried to think and find another way, which led to this result.
“It’s okay. Still, looking at the situation, the benefit is greater than the damage. “As long as you rule out risks well, it’s actually a good thing.”
These words were not just said to comfort the wise man.
Now that magical knowledge has returned along with memories, methods and costs that the sage did not mention can be naturally predicted.
If the prediction and the price were the same, then the return of the memories could not be considered a bad news.
{No. Leonardo, you don’t have to forgive yet. Rather, you need to be angry.}
Angela said this and glared at her boy-like sage. Regardless of whether he was young or old, the wise man always disliked this.
{I always hide important issues and think about them alone. I would have told you how humiliating it is for you as a colleague, just because you are the most capable and wisest.}
And even though he was always angry, there was always a good reason for it.
It was a problem so heavy and difficult that I had to think about it alone, and the only person who thought about it with me was the warrior Ruben.
He didn’t even rely on himself.
[…I’m reflecting. Sorry, Angela.]
Unlike other times, the wise man readily admitted his mistakes without making excuses.
It was also evidence to explain how much responsibility the wise man felt for this situation.
Furthermore,
{‘It’s against the rules to apologize sincerely with a face like that…!!’}
The apple, which looked serious in the form of a cute and dignified boy, was enough to make Angela’s heart swell and flutter.
The cuteness of a young boy and the weight of an old age.
I can’t stand this.
[But Leo, you can use Circle now, right?]
While Angela was wiping her saliva and savoring her food, the wise man finished her apology and returned to the main topic.
“I can use it. “It feels a little stiff, but you should be able to use magic now.”
As if to show the proof, Leonardo stretched out his palm and created a whirlwind inside it.
Even though it was a 1-circle magic, the magic had already found its prowess in that the magic circle was formed so quickly that it was invisible.
“…Oh! “It’s the return of the small tower magic swordsman!”
“It’s not just about using a sword. Mr. Rios.”
As if his sense of using magic wasn’t bad enough, Leonardo soon enjoyed the power of memory by using magic alternately with the basic 1st circle elements.
[Ha… I’m glad.]
When he saw the circle and the magic in action, the wise man was satisfied and relieved.
The feeling of having spent up to 10 years turning an illiterate knight into a proper magician in vain was so devastating that it was despair itself.
Recovering even now would have been the greatest blessing among misfortunes.
[Then the original appearance will now be restored.]
Besides, I was more fortunate than ever to be able to escape from this small, temporary boy’s body.
“Oh, I guess so. “It might be possible if I apply my circle.”
The wise man is a spirit body that has no substance.
The reason such a sage can use mana and apply physical force is because the circles within Leo’s body are linked.
Therefore, ‘Raynald’, who was completely unfamiliar with circle driving, did not have the ability to create a new form of a spiritual body.
However, not only Raynald but Leonardo, who was also a wizard, had such capabilities.
{Now…! Wait!!}
There was a person who hurriedly intervened and stopped such a conversation.
“…Angela?”
Not surprisingly, it was Angela.
There was no one other than her who could voice an opinion that would stop the story of the wise man’s appearance returning.
{…Well, is there really a need to go back…? The appearance is nice enough and has a lot of affection…}
[Uh, that’s not it.]
The wise man who had been serious until just now flippantly ignored Angela’s argument.
Soon, the activated circle absorbed the spiritual body of the wise man and reorganized it into its original form.
[Hiya~ As expected, this look is calming.]
The wise man, who returned to being an old man with wrinkles, let out a hearty laugh.
{…My happiness…My…Light…My life and hope…}
[Why are you going overboard like that?]
{So old and ugly…}
[Hats.]
Angela, who was in despair, did not even have the strength to argue, and the old and ugly wise man continued to mumble, giving the saint even more despair.
She was definitely a reward when she was a boy.
When you are elderly, you experience a feeling of despair rather than a feeling of fullness.
“…Well… Then, Leonardo, is there no problem with the memory itself?”
Lumine, who could not bear to just watch the two legends’ obscene behavior, hurriedly changed the topic to a serious topic.
Now, it wasn’t that surprising, but when the argument between the wise man and the saint became prolonged, they often lost their pace and ended up in a different direction.
“Yes, Lumine. I remembered everything from important information to general daily life. “In fact, I think my memory has gotten better than usual.”
It wasn’t meant as a compliment to the Demon King, but even when I thought about it, I couldn’t feel the section that played on my memory.
I was able to basically withstand mental abilities, and I knew various methods of destruction, so I didn’t overlook it.
[Then do you remember what he did when he was Raynald?]
“…”
With that one word, Leonardo, who had been speaking fluently even from his hospital bed, suddenly became mute.
Raynald’s actions and memories, no matter how much I rationalized them, they did not feel like the actions of a separate person.
To put it simply, the gap between Raynald and Leonardo was that they drank a lot of alcohol, became drunk, and the next morning, kicking back in their blankets, they thought about their indecent behavior.
“…Oh, I guess I have that memory as information, but I don’t really think I did it. “It would be correct to say that the first and second rounds felt separate.”
So, I decided to take it off first.
To be honest, I felt quite unfair about this.
It wasn’t my fault, and it wasn’t just me who was at fault.
“…I’m sorry. “I feel like I’m making an excuse that I don’t remember…”
“No! No! It can happen! “I have something similar!”
When he intentionally apologized pitifully, others, including Ariaspil, did not rebuke Leonardo at all.
It may be said to be cowardly, but it would be a much better option for everyone than living in disgrace due to a half-unjust situation.
[Oh, really? Then, would you like me to refresh your memory?]
The wise man did not ask the question with malicious intent at first, but when he saw Leo’s expression, a sense of playfulness arose.
“…Yes? That…”
[I said yes.]
The wise man, who had abandoned respect for opinions along with his youthful appearance, simply snapped his fingers and played a video.
[Now, it’s show time.]
The dark story of the second episode, which was tried to be covered up, begins with the words ‘Showtime’.
[What are you? In my memory, there is no kid like you at all.]
She said harsh words and hurt her young daughter, whom she said she would take responsibility for.
[You b*tch, other than the succubus queen, I have never seen anyone so crazy about wanting to f*ck me this much.]
He compares the warrior he loves the most and women to a low-class b*tch, a monster.
[He’s a fresh angel, but he’s surprisingly smart.]
And even s*xually harassed people around him.
Leonardo’s impressions after seeing them all were able to be sublimated into a performance art.
“…That Leonardo…? “We’re really okay…”
“Ah… That’s a relief. Sorry. “My head hurts from memory for a moment, so I’ll get some air.”
“…Is that…A window?”
Leonardo opened the window and placed his feet on the window frame, trying to let in the wind. At that action, everyone grabbed Leo at once.
“First of all! First, calm down…!!”
“Let go!! I’m going to die!! aaa!!”
Leonardo is struggling.
Aria had no choice but to briefly show a straight face at that action.
There was a very awkward sense of incongruity in Leo’s movements.
“Wait a minute!”
Soon, the mighty power coming from his slender arms was able to immediately pull the body of Leo, who was struggling.
“Ah, lady!”
Leo’s strength may not be as strong as Aria’s, but it was definitely strange that he could last for one second. Leo is not far behind in terms of physical strength.
“Let me take off my shirt!”
Ariasviel took off Leo’s outer clothing to resolve the question. The buttons fell off the blades of his hands, exposing his bare skin.
“…This is…”
[…Damn…]
People who looked at Leonardo’s appearance soon frowned at his face.
[…The ban remains.]
The sacred prohibition, the prohibition restraining Leo, remained on his body.
The bondage of preventing suicide still dominates Leo.
