114 – Demon King’s Legacy # 5
said the lady.
“Tae Oh Gospel, that man is going to kill me.”
It was natural for Aira’s gaze to turn to me.
Those black eyes feel as if they are asking, “Are you planning on killing the saint?” For me, I had no choice but to be embarrassed because it was a cover-up.
“I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m going to kill you. What does that mean? This is the beginning of a golden hour.”
“Tae-oh, let’s hear more.”
Aira’s restraint forced me to stop wanting to say more and keep my mouth shut. Sometimes it might be better to be silent.
So, as we waited for the saint to tell us more, she laughed softly, huh-hu-huh, as if this was a lot of fun.
“Oh, excuse me. After all, they have the same name.”
“It sounds like it’s the same person.”
Ira nodded as if she understood. Only then was I able to grasp the direction and flow of this conversation.
So, it means that the saint is threatened with her life by a man with the same name as me. Soon I had something to guess.
Twenty years ago, Saint Friga Nightfall was still a student of this arc. She was a member of an adventure club, and one of the people who worked with her was Tae Oh Gospel.
Maybe you’re talking about that person?
“Let me explain in detail.”
At the same time, Ira urged the saint to explain as if she was interested in the story. Then the saint took the wine from the golden cup and drank it, and wet her lips.
“It may be a long story.”
“Make it as brief as possible.”
“It was about 20 years ago. When I was still a young apprentice nun, to be precise, it was about 22 years ago.”
22 years ago, how old was the saint?
I said she was an apprentice nun, so she must have been in her early to mid teens. Thinking about it that way, it seemed to me that the age of the saint was quite judging. Probably mid thirties… .
widely-.
Then someone slammed the crystal table with the palm of his hand, and I was startled and out of my mind. When I turned my head, Saint Friga was pointing at me.
“Didn’t you feel very rude now? Trying to calculate my age or something.”
“… … .”

Can a saint read people’s thoughts?
In fact, you must have at least one such ability to be able to bear the title of a saint in the denomination where this charismaticism prevails.
I have to be careful about my thoughts in front of this woman.
Whether I thought about it or not, the saint continued the story.
“At the time, I had a motive. It may seem humbling to say this now, but he was a better and more talented guy than me.”
“It sounds like that guy is Tae-oh gospel.”
“okay.”
Whoops.
Aira’s gaze turned to me again.
“Are you different from Tae-oh here? Are you sure it’s a different person?”
“Well-.”
At Aira’s question, the saint fell asleep for a moment. For a moment, she replied, nodding her head as if she understood.
“The name Teo Gospel is common in the denomination. It is named after Theodorus, which means gift from the gods.”
Right. It is also the first story I found out.
“His original name was Theodoros Gospel. Let’s call him Theodorus, not to be confused with the half-elf here.”
“Then you are saying that he is a very different person from Tae-oh here.”
Aira let out a long snoring. It was the sound of the interest that had filled her head like a balloon and was fading away like the wind.
“I wondered if I could know the past of my little Tae-oh. It’s gotten better.”
Seems disappointed because it’s not my story.
The lady says to him.
“At first, Theodorus was not as soft as a half-elf. He’s a little darker, a little bit of a far-fetched malice.”
Saint Friga told a rather long story from him.
She came from a fallen aristocrat and joined the church, and was selected as a scholarship student of the Ark because she excelled in magic and prayer with divine power.
There was something she could call a rival or friend, and that was Theodorus Gospel.
It is said that Friga and Theodorus set an example for many people with their outstanding skills and faith, and were also called by an unfamiliar nickname as the lamp of the denomination.
“I didn’t really like the nickname. But he must have been a very good boy. I still haven’t seen a man as clear as him… .”
“So where is he now?”
“I want to find it too. The day I lost my eyes in an accident 20 years ago. I lost my future with the light. But it was better than that.”
An accident from 20 years ago.

Could it have something to do with the case where Somang Hall was closed as an abandoned building 20 years ago? The adventure club was also abolished at that time.
When I was feeling personal interest, an amazing thing happened in an instant.
slurp.
Blood began to flow from the saint’s black eye patch. It was like tears, and I felt like I could really know what ‘tears of blood’ were.
“Saint, you are bleeding.”
When I tried to take out the handkerchief in embarrassment, Saint Friga took the handkerchief from her arms and wiped off the blood.
“When I think back on that time, my blood often flows like this. The body reacts against it.”
Is that possible?
Ira asked.
“You must have seen something terrible, didn’t you?”
“Yes. It was the first time I had seen something so terrifying and bizarre. Still, I’m on the better side. I ended up losing both eyes, but Theodorus lost everything.”
“Huh-.”
“He has changed like a different person since he saw it. It would have been nice to have become a very different person. He must have had a mental problem. Otherwise he wouldn’t want to kill me.”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Ira was silent. He simply raises a glass and spins the wine filled in it with a bored expression on his face.

Clap Clap.
He didn’t seem very interested in this story. Well, if you look at it, it can be said that it is a story that has nothing to do with Aira, so it’s good enough.
But the saint said whether she had read Aira’s feelings like that.
“It will be an important story for Queen Aira and the Kingdom of Angmar. He failed to kill me and ran away. And I hid into the world.”
“therefore?”
“The last sighting of him was at the slave market in Monarch City, the capital of Angmar.”
“… … ?”
Ira’s brow twitched slightly. seems to be interested In order not to miss Aira’s interest, the saint added a few words.
“Somehow, it was said that they were being sold as slaves there. While talking about the possibility of knowing the future-. He said he was waiting for someone to buy him a high price.”
Slurry-.
For a moment, I felt as if several ants were crawling behind my back. Because I remember hearing the explanation of the saint somewhere.
isn’t it me
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, the saint said it wasn’t me.
“But when we tried to find it, it was already gone. The man is hiding, hiding his identity, hiding somewhere. To take my life-.”
As I listened to the additional explanation, it seemed that all the circumstances were pointing to me.
Suddenly, in my head, I was drawing a picture of myself being dragged to the death row for the attempted murder of a saint that I had neither committed nor remembered.
-You have revealed your sins!!! The sin of daring to threaten the saint!!!
-I don’t remember… !!! Are you saving me… !!!
─Execution-!!!!
It is a very terrifying future.
But Ira stood up as if there was nothing more to hear.
“It’s a slow story. It’s late, so I have to go back. Tae-oh, let’s go back.”
As if not to lose sight of such Aira, the saint hurriedly spoke.
“Your Majesty, what the man is looking for is probably Your Majesty. He must have enslaved himself to gain access to His Majesty.”
“Are you looking for me?”
“It may have already been approached, or it may have approached it. He has a knack for changing faces and shapes.”
“Why are you trying to target me?”
“I don’t think the present His Majesty needs such an explanation. For that reason, Your Majesty probably knows best-.”
“There is nothing more to hear. It’s a disappointment for you to waste your time with such nonsense, Frigga Nightfall.”
Ira thought it was no longer necessary to talk, so she left the room and hurriedly left the room.
I was torn between the saints who were sitting on the back of Aira, who had left, and drinking more wine, and I had no choice but to follow Aira out of the room.
* * *
Ira was returning to her dormitory.
Her stride was quite large and confident, so if I wanted to follow her, I had no choice but to catch up as if I was running.
“Ira-sama, I think it was an important story. Can I just go out like this?”
I asked Aira for her opinion, who had broken up the conversation with the saint. However, Ira dismissed my opinion, saying, “It’s a story I’ve never heard of anymore.”
I don’t know what it was, but something about the saint seemed to have greatly offended Aira’s heart.
“Did Saint Frigga lie to the Queen by any chance?”
What Aira hates is lies and hypocrisy. So I wondered if the reason for Ira’s anger was probably the saint’s lies.
“Friga never lied to me. I only told the truth.”
“Then why did you leave your seat? If you pretend to be a saint of the denomination, the denomination may not recognize Aira-sama’s authority.”
“I am the queen. Even if no one acknowledges my authority, I already recognize myself, so that’s enough. And no one can interrupt my nap time.”
“Are you taking a nap?”
That was the end of the story with Aira. She went to her room and lay on the bed.
I couldn’t even wake her up because I fell asleep with a deep, even breathing, without a moment to say anything.
take a real nap
Were you so sleepy that you couldn’t stand it?

Come to think of it, I couldn’t sleep until dawn because I was visiting the Draco family’s mansion yesterday.
Even so, I was a little worried that Aira’s sleep time was getting too long these days.
Except for mealtime and the time to get up and play chess by myself, almost everything feels like sleeping. Do you have any health problems?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, it doesn’t look like that.
As I was about to leave the room, scratching the bridge of my nose, Aira slowly opened her eyes.
Then he put his legs out of the blanket towards me, and that meant one thing.
“Take off your clothes. It’s boring to sleep in it.”
“… All right.”
Slurry-.
I pulled down the stockings Ira was wearing. The sight of the black thing being pulled down and the white thighs exposed was quite a sight to behold.
Palang-.
Black underwear was visible under the skirt of the wrinkled school uniform lying on the floor.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Normally, I would have thought that I just saw underwear.
Having had relations with women the past few days, I felt very strange when I thought that there must be something pleasing in my eyes out there.
Perhaps this gap, where Aira is sleepy, is the key to attack.
Angmar. Theodorus et al.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that various situations are changing rapidly, there are few variables to capture Aira in a hurry.
Then I told Aira where that courage came from.
“Queen, may I rub my leg?”
Even though I said it, I felt like I had made a mistake. However, Ira yawned with ha-am, and surprisingly willingly accepted.
“okay. You can kiss me until I fall asleep.”
This plot is too big!
