crush – 3
I raised my voice even more.
“The cursed demon king’s name is Idria! He is the demon king of lies and deceit.”
“Of lies and deceit . . .”
“Idria?”
“Be quiet. The warrior speaks.”
I cried.
“And the self-proclaimed hero Caled Wake is the minion of Idria, the Demon Lord of Lies!”
“What, what?”
“Kaild-sama….”
“Then why did you heal our lord?”
I was in a hurry to speak.
“The Demon King was trying to create a complete lie by exalting the name of the fake warrior Kayle. Don’t be fooled by that trick!”
“Ugh.”
“Don’t be fooled by lies. Don’t let lies swallow you up!”
The light in the eyes of Yeongji-min slowly came on.
Determination begins to appear on his face.
I clenched both fists, and strength entered my arms and legs.
Soon they were united and shouted.
“ooh! I believe in the words of the warrior!”
“So Idria and Kayld are enemies of mankind, right?”
“Soldier! Defeat the lies, please!”
“I will inform everyone about it. Please believe me.”
great.
I smiled and turned around slowly.
“Don’t worry. Throughout the ages, the Demon King is bound to be defeated by the Hero. Lies will perish in the hands of me and the heroes next to me!”
The excitement of Yeongji-min was maximized at my shout.
They shouted in unison.
“Brave Maid.”
“Heroes who will save the world.”
“Long live Maid!”
“God bless the heroes!”
That was then.

The level is very popular.
Now you can see the A-class secret.
“Uhhhh. Ophelia.”
David hugged Ophelia, who had become an old woman, and burst into tears.
He was almost on the verge of collapse.
Count Akane also asks with red eyes.
“Can you bring it back to the way it was?”
It was the most respectful attitude.
Compared to the first time, it is a dramatic change.
“yes. Available.”
“Say the truth, not comfort. warrior.”
“I speak only the truth. From my standpoint, I am fighting against the Demon King of Lies.”
“ah······.”
Count Akane nodded without thinking.
“That’s right.”
“·················ogue.”
“In other words, the current demon king is Idria, the demon king of lies and deception, and Kayle is his puppet, right?”
“Yes. The Demon King is trying to harvest ‘perfect lies’ through Kayle.”
“indeed······.”
He shook his head.
“When I first saw Kayle, I always thought he was a hero. Because there was nothing to compare with.”
“The Count.”
“The miracles Maid-sama performed here cannot even be compared to how Kayle cured my illness.”
“·················ogue.”
“It feels like my eyes are opened when I have a real hero in front of me. Clearly, the hero is you.”
The Count bowed his head deeply.
I instantly felt my heart swell.
But he gently grabbed his shoulder.
“Thank you for saying that. Now raise your head.”
“Warrior.”
“I would like you to formally announce what you just said. It would be ok to cooperate with the Hearthpil Territory or the Avis Territory. They are especially good lords.”
“If I make this statement, we are making the same argument with each other. The division of the empire will disappear on its own.”
“It will not simply disappear, but it will be a strong bond.”
Let’s omit the word centered on me.
I am also a person who can read the atmosphere.
I changed the topic.
“Anyway, let’s go back to Mr. Ophelia.”
“Say it.”
“Her body is a fake handwritten by Idria. For now, the aftermath of Purification is still there, so it’ll be fine, but sooner or later, Adria will take control of Mr. Ophelia again. Then there will be another catastrophe of insects.”
At those words, David rather than the Count became contemplative.
He crawled almost on his knees and approached me in front of me.
A nobleman, even the count’s son, kneels before me.
I was terrified of this situation and deterred him.
“Hey, wake up.”
“Soldier. Please don’t kill Ophelia.”
“yes?”
“She is my light and my hope. To me, you are more precious than the God of Heaven. please······.”
David still loved Ophelia, who had a face close to his deathbed, as if he were himself.
It’s like you don’t know anything about looks.
Neril murmurs.
“It’s a beautiful love. After all, age was just a number.”
“I would have nodded my head if someone else had spoken.”
“Aren’t you shut up?”
I opened my mouth to David.
“There is no way I can kill Mr. Ophelia.”
“That, then?”
“Before that, wait a minute.”
I told Trail.
‘See you right now. The secret of Idria and Ophelia. I’ll have to see what he did to Ophelia’s real body.’
[okay.]
Soon the screen popped up.
＜I used the Eye of the Battery.＞
＜Currently the battery’s eye level is 4. The secret level that can be read is A level.＞
＜The selection condition is ‘Secret between Ophelia Mays and Idria.’＞
＜This secret level is Class A. Browse.＞
There was Idria on the screen.
And there was Ophelia!
Ophelia had her eyes closed, but she could see through the screen that she wasn’t just asleep.
‘The body without the soul.’
In other words, it means that Ophelia’s soul has already been separated from that ‘real’ body.
For Idria, there is no need to keep the shell.
But she was watching Ophelia’s real body floating around in the air.
‘When does that happen?’
I glanced at the screen.
And I couldn’t help but be surprised.
The secret I’m seeing now is only three days ago.
It happened when we arrived at this Dronor estate.
That was then.
A large male voice was heard on the screen.
“That body is similar to the one that was sent to the territory of Dronor a while ago.”
I knew who the voice was.
Unknowingly, my teeth are covered.
‘Kaled!’
Idria opened her mouth without even looking at Caled.
“It has to be. This is the real thing, and the one sent to Dronare is a fake based on it.”
“Then do you really need to keep your body like that?”
“You are a very curious worm.”
“·················ogue.”
“There is no practical reason. But this is a matter of my taste.”
She quickly turned her finger.
Then, Ophelia’s body floated in the air and rotated along her fingers.
“There is something I really want to do when I achieve everything.”
“What is it?”
“I am telling the foolish things I have believed to be true one by one my lies. Very kind and detailed.”
“You’re going to tell me your lies? That means breaking lies. Is the Demon Lord of Lies okay?”
she said in a calm tone.
“No one knew me for all these years. I was not remembered by anyone, and I just died and died again and again by Bion.”
“·················ogue.”
“It’s the same with rain. He is a hero who literally saved the world countless times, but no one remembers Bion. So, I feel my own sympathy with him.”
“What do you want to say?”
Idria gave a somewhat detached smile.
“I want to let people know the moment I achieve everything. Demon Lord Idria was not a being who suddenly fell from the sky one day. Always right next to you, where lies have always existed.”
“·················ogue.”
“It would be nice to have evidence for that.”
“under. So you’re going to keep Ophelia’s body for proof?”
“okay. In other words, it can be said that he is preparing for retirement.”
I wasn’t crazy.
‘Are you ready to retire?’
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Maybe one day I’ll need to teach him what retirement means.[Teach me too. Your retirement plans aren’t that great either.]
I ignored it and looked at the screen again.
Idria raised her other hand and swung it up and down.
Then the space splits.
Idria put Ophelia’s real body in that space.
“I am really looking forward to that day.”
drop.
The screen is cut off.
I thought for a moment and opened my mouth to David.
“Ophelia’s real body is unharmed.”
“Yes Yes?”
“That body is kept by Idria. I will kill Idria and bring her real body back. Then Ardwin will take care of moving the soul.”
“Uhhhh. thank you Thank you very much.”
David shook his head and burst into tears.
I patted his shoulder and continued.
“But I can’t leave Mr. Ophelia like that.”
“Ah, hey… the Demon King said he didn’t know when the same thing would happen again.”
“yes. I will take you to a place beyond the reach of the Demon King.”
“Where the hell is that?”
“Here you go.”
I took out the Thrung sword.
David flinched, but didn’t dodge or do anything.
That’s how much he believes in me.
Rather, the Count is surprised.
“Soldier. what?”
“Stay away for a moment and watch.”
“Oh, I see.”
Serene’s murmur was heard.
“Mr. Richel. What is Maid trying to do?”
“I was just about to ask that. Do you know Mr. Offense?”
“I don’t know.”
Come to think of it, it was Raynus Territory who used this skill, so I don’t know about those three.
Ardwin raised his nose for some reason and opened his mouth.
“Fufu. It will also be difficult for you foolish criminals to understand. There’s nothing wrong with that. This body has been merciful…”
“Last time Mr. Maid said it. They’re tearing up space and trying to keep it inside.”
“No, what kind of metaphor was that?”
“Mr. Maid is an honest man.”
“It feels very different from being honest!”
Ardwin, who had been trying to show an unfamiliar appearance for a long time, was greatly disappointed.
It was time for him to shrug his shoulders.
“Huhu. You are Ardwin.”
“yes? oh.”
“The hero said he was curious about who would have the upper hand, me or Ardwin.”
It was Ophelia.
She opened her eyes and struggled to get up.
David was startled and quickly supported her.
“Ophelia. it’s okay?”
“Don’t look at my face.”
“What? why?”
“I don’t want to show a face full of wrinkles like this. Especially for you.”
“Ophelia!”
He forcibly turned Ophelia’s face to himself.
“Are you going to say that even when I’m old?”
“no! It will never happen…”
“I would never do that either. What are you talking about, huh?”
Ophelia was in tears.
She raised her hand laboriously and touched David’s face.
“I want to meet you in my original form as soon as possible.”
“It will be so. The warrior promised.”
“A warrior.”
Ophelia turns her head to me.
“Soldier. Please take good care of me.”
“Don’t worry.”
I nodded firmly.
As if relieved by my answer, Ophelia’s face returned to a smile.
She opened her mouth to Xenia.
“Jenia. I always carry the burden on you. Ever since we were on a mission together.”
“Sobbing. do not say that. Without you, I wouldn’t be here.”
“Does the fortress eat two bowls each?”
“yes. But now I can’t. I’m going to give Maid half of it… No, what are you talking about in this atmosphere?”
“Yeah, it’s okay for you and me to get angry and relax like that. Right?”
Xenia wiped her tears with the back of her arm.
“huh. I can’t eat it.”
It should start slowly.
The purification of this estate is about to end.
I picked up a sword.
“let’s begin.”
Everyone nods their heads.
I took a light deep breath and used my technique.
‘Tear the space!’
A space tear created to oppose Idria’s spatial powers.
The space I created eludes Idria’s power.
It has already been tested before regression.
It was when I fought the first finger of the lie before the return.
At that time, we were grabbing the win.
The first finger, cornered, did the ‘last blow’.
It was such an enormous ability that I had no idea how to deal with it.
In the end, Caled ordered a retreat, feeling that he was not an opponent at all.
However, it was impossible to even escape in front of his ability.
So I split the space as quickly as I could.
And the party members were evacuated to the space.
Before the space closed, I could see Idria.
She, who had been looking through the first finger, saw my technique and was interested, so she appeared.
“You are truly a monstrous bastard. Why are you having a party like Kayle there?”
“Idria!”
“I was intrigued to use the power of space in front of me. Come on out.”

Just right.Idria snapped her fingers.
But the space I created was only getting more and more closed.
“···········?”
She tilted her head and snapped her fingers a few more times.
But to no avail.
Before my space was completely closed, Idria’s question was heard.
It was a rather urgent voice that did not suit her.
“Who are you?”
