Demon King Trial – 2
Anyway, the trail was so unpretentious that the party didn’t seem to be able to find anything more to say.
Trail opened his mouth.
“But there’s only one thing.”
“ok? You didn’t say that last night.”
“Because it’s not that important.”
“… … what does it take Tell me everything.”
“You and other party members will leave my side someday. That I will be left alone again.”
For a moment, I felt like I had been hit in the head with a hammer.
That’s right.
Damn, this is the first thing I should have thought of and advised Trail.
That was then.
Idria intervened.
“I am not alone. I’m with you.”
“I’m not very happy.”
“I agree. You hold my lifeline, you watch over me. It’s not much different from what I’ve been doing before.”
“… … .”
“The only difference is that I will never die. I think it’s a good idea.”
Idria looked at me.
“I still don’t understand why you don’t want to have the Hero and the Demon King appear anymore.”
“Even if you explain it like that, if you don’t understand it, you probably won’t understand it forever.”
“Hmm.”
“Anyway, do you have any questions? If anything goes wrong, tell me now.”
everyone is quiet
Although the idea was so absurd, it seemed that the operation itself was convincing enough.
Then Neryl said.
“I understand roughly, but I have one more question.”
“Tell me.”
“As explained so far, I don’t think a second trial is necessary. Why did you tell Idria to plead?”
also sharp
I nodded and looked at everyone.
“Yesterday, the screen window gave the most important advice while refining the strategy.”
“what is that?”
“The existence of the Hero and the Demon King is the core of the many laws of the world. For a building, it’s like a corner stone.”
The other day, the screen window Bion talked about some cornerstone laws.
-Every human being can build his own reputation.
-The emotions of human wealth descend on the Demon King.
These things.
This is the so-called ‘core law’, the fundamental law of the world that even Velocians cannot modify.
One of those key rules is this.
“It is impossible for a single demon king to have the wealth of all humans.”
“… … .”
“This is one of the core laws of the world, one that corresponds to the corner stone.”
Everyone already knew what I was talking about.
I continued admiring the party members’ heads spinning.
“The key to this operation is that I have a new law… … In other words, it is possible only by adding the rule ‘The feeling of wealth of all humans in the future resides in Idria.’”
“Yes.”
“But it touches the heart of the system. So they said it was impossible to add in the usual way.”
“Then what should I do… … .”
“You have to get consent.”
“Agree? Whose consent?”
“Who would it be? Think about what the laws of the world are always for.”
For a moment, everyone exclaimed in awe.
“humanity?”
“okay. It is said that the consent of the people living in this era must be obtained. Consent to spare Idria, who will become infinitely strong, infused with all kinds of feelings of wealth.”
“uh… … Should I tell you about Mr. Trail?”
“no. Then the secrets of the world would be revealed too much. After all, the heroes of the past also erased their memories for that reason. It will never be revealed to the general public.”
“No, that means keep your hands and feet tied and fight.”
right.
Without offering a solution, consent must be obtained to keep the bomb named Idria alive.
Are there any more difficult quests?
They all had serious faces.
I continued to say that it was too unlikely.
“You don’t have to agree with one hundred percent. It’s just more than half of it.”
“The majority is impossible. Quite obviously.”
The party members, including Neryl, made noises in pain.
It was the same even for Idria.
She said as she pondered as she crossed her arms.
“Maybe Maid can do it if you force it. If it’s your reputation now, it might work if you command ‘Keep Idria alive.'”
“no.”
“why? Could there be a more reliable and quicker way than this?”
“If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. And think about it. What is my specialty in the first place?”
“lie.”
this cub
“It’s about guiding people in a better way.”
“okay. with lies.”
“… … Anyway, in the second trial, you have to get people’s consent through the final argument. From now on, listen carefully to what I have to say.”
I calmly explained.
Idria was listening quietly and was quite surprised.
So did the other companions.
Neryl frowned and said.
“If that’s the case… … Even if the operation goes through, I feel like I’m going to get dirty.”
“why?”
“Human disbelief. I feel like I’m going to fall for humanity. The disease that I suffered from when I was a wretched witch may recur.”
I laughed bitterly.
However, the other party members are shaking their heads as if they agree.
Offense says:
“I would be a little disappointed if people really follow what you induced. To a human being.”
“You say something strange.”
“No, but… … .”
“Action was the one who fell after being so disappointed with humans.”
Everyone shut their mouths.
It showed a steely will that could never be like that.
“Did I mean harsh?”
“whopping.”
“But it is true. Don’t be fooled by people’s nature or choices.”
“… … .”
“The good and the bad coexist as human beings. Neither expect nor curse. Those are the basic qualities that a hero or hero should have.”
They all shook their heads.
Ardwin opened his mouth in a slightly sullen tone.
“Your brother is great.”
“know.”
“What should I say? A brother is really always an older brother. I don’t force anyone, I don’t discipline anyone, I just have to keep quiet, I feel like I have to do it because it’s something I have to do.”
“That’s my old know-how.”
It’s my old know-how.
It was just an inadvertent word.
But the moment I uttered these words, I felt the dizziness of last night again.
It’s that dazed feeling when I feel that the conversation with Bion is somehow familiar.
‘is it.’
When I was the master of a world I can’t remember, I must have been the same as I am now.
Don’t expect anything from humans.
He doesn’t curse humans either.

Just do what needs to be doneThis is for the leader, for the warrior.
And is it a necessary quality for the master of the world?
Then I heard Idria’s voice.
“For now, I will know. I will follow you.”
“uh. But you talk as if you have a choice?”
“… … Anyway, you are a very unique person. Maid.”
“What else?”
“You deliberately take the easy road the hard way. As I said earlier, it would be much faster to give orders to humanity. This thought has not changed.”
I laughed bitterly.
And he replied one word at a time, one word at a time.
“I don’t like that, so I’m trying to get rid of both the Hero and the Demon King.”
the next morning.
The Demon King trial was held.
It’s been a while since I first came up with this idea in my fight against Idria.
Although it was a fairly urgent event, it was so crowded that I wondered if there had ever been such a large number of people gathered in one place in history.
The emperor responded to this sentiment of mine.
Although he was the master of the empire, he was guiding me around the courthouse.
“I don’t look weird at all. warrior.”
“… … .”
“Simply killing the Demon King has already happened several times. This demon lord trial is a completely different story.”
“Well.”
“Everyone living in this age, including myself, must have the same mindset. I, we are the protagonists of the new page of our time.”
I scratched my head.
The emperor continued to guide.
“This will be the seat of the Demon King.”
As this trial seat was prepared in haste, it was of course not a building, but a rough composition on a wide plain.
First, the lines controlled by the soldiers are drawn in a circle.
Outside the line, the spectators participating in the trial were gathered together.
The place where Idria would stand was in the middle of the round circle.
“I will be there.”
The emperor pointed to the opposite platform that was two or three steps higher than the one on which Idria would stand.
“The hero undeservedly asked me to take charge of the trial, so I prepared it there. Are you okay?”
“Yes. Very nice.”
“thank you. Then, the most important position of the warrior… … I think that would be good.”
He pointed to the back of the emperor’s platform.
There was a pedestal so high that it could almost be described as a small garden.
And on top of it lies a very splendid throne.
‘Shake. I’ve been doing that for a while.’
[ねね. I’m sure if I sit down there, I can see this spacious judge at a glance.]
‘okay. It’s like I’m presiding over a trial. I’m only playing the role of invoking Idria’s guilt.’
I sighed and said.
“I will place it between Idria and Your Majesty. I would appreciate it if you could clear my place.”
“Yes? Then it becomes as if I am presiding over the trial.”
“No, you are actually presiding.”
“There is a hero, how dare I… … .”
“Just a little please.”
The emperor thought for a long time, and then nodded as if he had no choice.
Only had an hour left.
[Do you hate being in the spotlight? It’s been getting a lot of attention so far and it’s built up a reputation. It was okay to think about the directing of descending from the sky in the Avis Territory.]
‘Even then, I didn’t do it because I liked it, but I did it to build a reputation.’
[I remember enjoying it quite a bit.]
‘At first, I was neither the emperor nor the protagonist of this trial. Not even Idria.’
I beckoned to the crowd.
‘They are the protagonists of the trial.’
[ねね. It’s the same.]
‘Anyway, I have to start slowly.’
When I made up my mind like that, the emperor came up with the same story.
“Anyway, warrior. Where is Idria? I can’t see any other heroes.”
“I will come now.”
I said so and spoke through the soul dialogue that Ardwin had connected in advance.
[Roughly, the judge’s confirmation is over. You can appear now.]
[Wait a minute.]
With Neryl’s answer.
– Whoops.
Agril’s cry was heard from the sky.
Naturally, everyone involved in the courtroom, including the emperor, looked up at the sky.
Agril circled the court a few laps as if enjoying the gazes, then slowly descended.
kuung.
Then it landed on the ground, raising a heavy sound and dust.
“That’s Agril.”
“They are also heroes. Please leave something behind from the moment you appear.”
“oh. Neryl and Xenia! After all, the two of you seem to get along really well.”
“Adwin-sama is also proud. Even though he looks younger than my son.”
“Serain, Lissel-sama, you also look very noble. Alas, to have the honor of actually seeing them.”
“Opens-sama is cool too… … Well. You’re usually pretty.”
I’m mistaken for the best of luck to the point where I don’t know where to start.
I must say that the offense was the closest to the correct answer.
[I don’t like flashy things, but they stand out so much. Your party member.]
‘I meant to tell you in advance. The road I’ve walked so far is a road, so I guess everyone got into that kind of direction.’
I was just asking to show you how to deliver Idria at the right time.
[ねね. Who would you have learned from?]
That was then.
“for a moment. Behind them!”
someone points to a place
Yes, aside from the splendor of the directing, what I really wanted to show was that image.
There, Idria was bound with magic chains.
With a face that looks very haggard.
With a very humiliating look.
A warrior’s sword pierced through Idria’s abdomen.
Actually, the sword of a real hero is in my scabbard.
bum bum.
I approached them.
Charlene.
Neryl handed over the magical chains as if taking over.
I asked in a hoarse voice.
“How about the appant view?”
“Not yet. Give me the signal, and I’ll trigger it right away.”
“Please activate the voice amplification magic as well.”
“That’s natural.”
I looked around the group and nodded.
They backed away lightly.
In this way, all aspects of the trial were settled.
Shall we start slowly?
