246 – 71-3. She hates lies.
“It’s been a while. Licht.”
A man with devil horns and wings.
A person with a strange appearance that could not be covered even with black armor walks slowly.
‘That blonde hair and blue eyes….’
If the person I know is correct, that is Kynell, the Champion of Light.
We overcame adversity and hardship while attending Grand Hearts Academia together.
In the original world, a hero who ran away after being attacked by Magic Hat.
“..Kinel?”
I thought I was going to be devoured by Fine.
Because of his appearance, Fine’s movement stopped.
“Don’t call me by that name. Because I don’t deserve it.”
When I called Kainel’s name, he shook his head from side to side.
“Nell. Just call me Nell.”
Nel the Demon King of Light.
He was the one who asked to be called by the name he could see in the Kinel Corruption Route.
‘Kynell is a Nell without Kai.’
I think of the nickname my childhood friend used to call me, so I avoid it.
Even in the game, I didn’t use light-related skills because I felt guilty about Ariel’s death.
It was also the reason why I tried to connect the warrior couple like that.
“Why did you come here..?”
Black-haired Fine Grancia expresses dissatisfaction while biting her lower lip at the visit of an uninvited guest.
I wish I had done a little more.

She was the one who clicked her tongue while looking at my upper half of her almost completely naked.
“Isn’t it obvious? I came to rescue Licht from another world line.”
“…No.”
Kinel said confidently.
I wonder if they were close to me even here.
“What the hell are you talking about..? Richt is alive and well here….”
Pine then makes a cocoon of rose vines to enclose me.
My arms and legs were now chained together, so I couldn’t move.
“I think the time for you to watch is over. Empress.”
Kainel watched the scene and put her hand to her forehead as if she was dumbfounded.
An empress trying to rape the man she loves in a secluded imperial palace.
“What will I do if the people find out?”
“..It doesn’t matter.”
Although it was Kenel who sighed while waving the wanted badge on which my montage was drawn.
“Because Licht is more important to me than everything in this world.”
It was unheard of advice to Fine, who was already completely insane.
Now, the conversation is not working.
“Then I have to save you..!”
Kinel took out the holy sword that had turned black.
Then she immediately saw the darkness filling up around her.
I intend to isolate Fine and myself by using the authority to cover the world with darkness.
“「Dark Dimen…」”
“I’m sorry, but that doesn’t work.”
Kinel tried to stick the holy sword into the ground.
However, that attempt ended in failure.
“If you are trying to take Licht from me, kill me.”
Keying─.
Her red eyes began to glow, and her every movement began to slow down.
Tick tock, tick tock. Even the sound of the ticking clock is silenced.
“Why is everyone trying to take Licht away from me..?”
She broke Kynell’s holy sword with her rose vine and opened her mouth.
A arrogant attitude as if nothing happened.
She looks at me and even smiles.
“I really hate everyone.”
I have become an existence worthy of the name of a demon.
“Ah, I didn’t mean it to you, Licht.. You won’t hear it…”
When I see you show that kind of side, you’re right about the Fine I know.
The black-haired Pine soon came to her senses and walked towards Kainel.
“Kynel, you interrupted the most precious time between me and Licht.”
Why am I conscious?
Perhaps because he became a demon lord, there is resistance to god-related abilities.
Come to think of it, even Magic Hat’s skills didn’t affect me.
A situation in which words do not come out even when you try to open your mouth.
What can I do in a world where I can’t even blink my eyes?
‘How do I convince Fine? What should I do….’
It was to find a way to convince her.
You can’t beg for your life.
Because I can stay locked up in a dungeon for the purpose of keeping me alive.
In the end, I have to go back to my original world and meet Fine, who is waiting for me.
‘But I can’t just leave Fine, who has become a demon.’
Unfortunate. A dark past that is not enough to say.
The future is divided by a very small difference, and the person you love has died.
‘The rain that continues to fall even now….’
How can I make it stop?
In an instant, light began to emerge from the fragments of the holy sword that Fine had broken.
“Mardol. Let Richt go.”
“…Could it be that time has stopped but is still moving…?”
And then, in a world that has stopped, Kainel begins to move.
“Professor Dennis told me something before.”
The holy sword is bursting with its original brilliance as soon as the darkness is removed.
“When the speed of light reaches a certain level…. You said you could turn back time. I do not remember?”
A lecture Dennis told us earlier.
Kainel’s body gradually began to turn into a group of lights, and Fine tried to warp her space.
“I will never take Richt!!”
“It’s already too late.”
I couldn’t stop the technique using the holy sword as collateral.
As I was swinging the sword, pieces were flying around as if it were about to explode.
Kinel changed like a flash and began to sever the cocoon I was trapped in.
“Originally, I didn’t want to use skills related to Ariel….”
Even though Fine kept summoning Rose to block it, he was already right in front of me.
“—Shine Strike.”
Kwaaang—!!
With the roar of the air, half of the imperial palace flew away together.
Nel, the Demon Lord of Light, suddenly disappeared with me.
***
Thunder and lightning began to strike the empire.
“Caw..! My ankles are all wet!”
It’s raining harder than before.
Amid the sudden change of weather, the people of the Grancia Empire are in a panic.
Like when I summoned Ki-woo, the swordsman, there must be something wrong with Fine’s heart.
“Search all over! You wouldn’t have gone far yet!”
“Catch the criminal who betrayed the empire!”
Because I’m gone.
The knights holding wanted letters with pictures similar to my face.
The name Richt was not written on it.
‘Because I was already passed down as a dead hero.’
The person who saved the empress’ life.
The only man that Fine Grancia loved, her precious companion….
It was the information I learned while wandering around this world.
Kinel and I wearing black cloaks.
I was able to avoid the eyes of others because it was an object made by the Demon Lord of Light as a shadow.
“Where should I go..?”
“Just a little further forward.”
However, it is unknown when Fine, who has become a demon, will come after him.
The two of us were looking for a place to hide.
“This is… I can’t believe it.”
“Yes, .”
Grancia Empire Bakery.
The head office near the academy has been turned into a block of ice.
“It’s the second store to be exact. Let’s go in.”
I remembered seeing a sign saying they had opened a store in another branch.
Princess, Fine, now crowned empress, and I frequented a regular restaurant.
“Thunder strikes terribly once..”
“I see.. What happened to the empress..? It’s not Licht-sama’s due date yet…”
As if to show its reputation, it was crowded with people despite the rain.
Kinel was frightened by the huge crowd.
“Is it okay to go in here? You think I’ll catch you right away?”
“Originally, if you want to hide a tree, you have to hide it in the forest, and if you want to hide a person….”
I walked into the store first.
“Because hiding from people is perfect.”
And the Imperial Bakery is a place that holds memories of me.
There is a high probability that Fine, who ignores the past, will not come here.
As soon as I entered the store without being noticed, Kinel looked around and sat down.
“Huh.. I’m finally going to live.”
The demon lord relaxes while chewing on the crab sandwich I ordered in advance.
“Put some soundproofing magic on it. Catch me.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Becoming a demon lord or a demon doesn’t seem to change her personality or person.
I also turned into the Demon King of Faith, and Fine was the same.
“I almost forgot. Thanks. Licht.”
The guy who still shows off his ignorance.
Kinel shook my hand with a shy smile.
“… It’s very hard to see your face. Yes?”
“Thank you for saving me. Nell.”
I took his hand and thanked him.
If it wasn’t for Kynel, he would have been squeezed into the basement of the imperial palace.
‘Because there was also a future foreknowledge that the sage saw.’
I lay on the bed, chained together, and the dark-haired Phine was riding on top of me.
Perhaps the future could have happened if I hadn’t helped Kynell.
“Damn it… Even the Holy Sword of Light is broken.”
Regardless of whether she was a hero or a demon lord, she was the one who would slay all enemies.
“I was going to send you back to the original world line, but… It doesn’t seem to work anymore.”
Click.
Kainel placed the Holy Sword, of which only her handle remained, on her table.
Originally, when he fell as the demon king, he was covered in his blood and the light was hidden.
“I was lucky though.”
On the contrary, thanks to Fine’s breaking the Holy Sword, I was able to use all the remaining light.
“By the way, Kynell.”
“Call me Nell.”
I watched Kynell lowering her mouth in an apologetic manner.
“… Aren’t you going to regret it?”
He lost Ariel too.
“……”
The problem was that as I died, there was no one who could stand against the mighty Demon Lord.
“Why.. Are you talking about that now?”
“Because I would have died lying to you.”
I don’t know why, but I was mistaken that this world was inside a game.
So, I couldn’t openly confess that I came from another world.
“If I had trusted you more, the future might have changed.”
If only I had had more help from other people.
There must have been no world like this where Fine and Kainel had fallen into demon lords.
“… So, is it all your fault?”
“Yes.”
Grand Route.
The route that all possibilities come together may exist for this purpose.
“Ha.. Are you really the Licht I used to know?”
Then the man narrowed his forehead and stared at my face.
“Though he is a different person.”
“Is it the same as this? I can see why Mardol is obsessed.”
The only difference here would have been that the helmet came off in the grade exam.
“If I had taken the Mana Rose….”
“You ignorant bastard.”
Kinel sighed heavily after hearing my story.
“I may have regrets, but the past is the past.”
The exact opposite of Fine told me.
“At least thanks to you, Richt, I was able to confess my true feelings to Ariel.”
“…… I think you should go back to your original world.”
