First Incident (8)
Read at noblemtl.com
Just now.
Before the contamination zone was created, Nias was worried.
No matter how many times she cleaned and washed her clothes, Nias did the same thing over and over again.
‘If Bocchan finds out… .’
Then, what about yourself?
Scorned, loathed, forever… Will it be abandoned?
At least the villagers in the past were like that.
As soon as their powers tainted the village, they immediately kicked Nias out.
They even killed their loved ones and their families.
Avoiding people’s eyes, he created a space called the Demon Realm where selfish and twisted creatures gather.
After that, Nias lived alone forever, like that.
All demons worshiped Nias, but it was only a worship of power.
It was lonely.
The loneliness was so piercing that I got used to it and became numb.
Nias even wondered if she might in fact have no feelings.
It was like that even after reincarnation.
A father who beats himself, a mother who neglects abuse.
It seemed that no one would ever love him.
However, upon meeting the young master, Nias felt a small emotion bloom in her heart.
A hot feeling that fills you up as if you’ve swallowed a burning stone.
That feeling was so precious that Nias always wanted to hold it.
Anytime, I just wanted to live a normal life.
Nias felt herself slowly sinking back into that swamp of solitude.
The sense that the past grabs your ankle again and pulls you down to the bottom.
It was then.
Nias, an ominous magi that suddenly blew into the air, turned his head toward the forest.
I saw the strange twist of the forest where Magi was stuck.
And I saw the magic barrier being built around the forest.
‘Contaminated area… !’
Realizing what that meant, Nias jumped up from her seat.
The Labyrinth of Deception, the contaminated area of the Raven King, spreads out in the forest.
‘I can’t even do something like this… !’
Nias hurriedly got up from his seat.
Not knowing what to do, I lingered around the room for a while.
And decided.
The young master was supposed to be in that forest right now.
You must hurry and warn them.
Nias made up his mind and started moving.
However, as they approached the doorway, Nias made a terrifying presence.
As I slowly turned around, the crow king Sbraq was standing by the window.
“So, Demon King.”
said the Raven King with a laugh.
“Now is the time to choose. Half a day would have been enough to worry about it.”
The Raven King laughed sinisterly at Nias, who looked at him in dismay.
Seeing Nias so agitated, Sbrach felt a satisfied conviction.
I’m pretty sure he’s completely tricked those cute black eyes!
First, by threatening to reveal that you are the Demon King, Nias was isolated so that he could not rely on anyone.
Second, by warning that even the life of that precious thing was in my hands, I even eliminated the option of running away.
Thirdly, it was showing me that I could now even have your life at my disposal.
Now that this cute demon king has become a girl, there is only one option for him to do.
giving power.
All three traps worked, so it seemed perfect to the Raven King.
“You said fortnight later.”
“Somehow, something happened to me as well. Because things change so quickly.”
Sbrach laughed.
She will know.
What kind of existence is a demon?
“Isn’t that what a demon is? You should know. You are the king of demons.”
Nias gripped the hem of the black skirt of the maid’s uniform.
The moment Sbrach opens his mouth to the young master, everything will change.
The current relationship may disappear, and the relationship between the hero and the demon king may begin.
“I… .”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the sharp pain that felt like being stabbed in his heart with a long bamboo needle came back.
But at the same time, he didn’t want to tell the young master about his true identity.
I didn’t want to receive the scornful stares the villagers threw at me.
‘If possible, I wanted to keep it a secret forever. If possible… I just wanted to be an ordinary maid.’
maybe it’s greed

Just like Nias wanted herself to be an ordinary maid, she wanted Leonhard to be just a young master.
Hypnotic drugs were no longer added to food.
What he was putting in his food was a nutrient that he had always mixed with his hypnotic pills.
I didn’t eat it for some reason, so even though I didn’t feel well, I still enjoyed making lunch boxes for the young master.
Nias knew through the young master that spending such useless time could be enjoyable.
Those warm memories made up Nias now.
So, Nias decided to muster up some courage.
I inhaled and exhaled slowly.
The pain in his heart, which had been stabbed with a needle, had grown so much that he did not know what or how it hurt.
Even so, Nias opened her mouth with firm determination, syllable by syllable.
“Say it. Sbraq. Go ahead and tell me.”
The Raven King’s motion, gently rustling through the air, stopped.
“what?”
The temperature in the room dropped in an instant due to the demonic energy that Sbraq spewed out along with the terrifying question.
As the demonic energy felt chilly, Nias also raised the demonic energy and endured it.
As if to announce that this level of power has now been restored.
“You can tell me. Go to the young master and tell him that I am the Demon King. Is that what you wanted to do?”
“what… . Did I hear you wrong?”
Nias’ black eyes were glaring at the Raven King as if to crush him.
The Raven King had seen that determined expression before.
Above all, it was the expression he made when he made a firm decision.
For example, when you decide to give up your previous life and reincarnate.
“that… . why? Did you like that boy that much?”
Sbrach asked coldly.
cut flower.
Sbrach evaluated Nias that way.
But when the plucked flower gave voice to my pride, I felt bad.
It felt like someone else had stolen something from me. The one who didn’t belong to anyone in the first place, only this.
“why?”
Nias faced Sbraq.
Sbraq was a young bird-type beast that Nias acquired, and the beast gradually grew to resemble a human.
And soon, it became such an ugly figure.
In the end, the Witchbeast is stained with greed and desire and loses even its past form.
“Sbrake. Just go ahead and tell me.”
At that, the Raven King could not stand it any longer and rushed towards Nias with his wings spread.
Even Sbrach himself was furious with an incomprehensible rage.
Sbraq grabbed Nias by the slender neck and pushed her straight to the wall.
“crane… ! kuh… !”
Nias tried to resist by pulling up the demon, but the crow king put a magic pill in his mouth as if he wouldn’t allow it.
It must have been a type of medicine that strengthened demonic energy, and the Crow King’s body swelled even more.
“Demon King. I longed for you But now, you’re not even the Demon King. An ordinary girl, no, she’s terribly selfish, so she’s even worse than that. To you, what do you mean, what are we?”
A gust of wind began to blow in the room as the wild magi flowed from Sbrach’s body.
Nias strained to shake off the strangling arm.
But it was never easy.
However, Nias saw a desolate loneliness in Sbrach’s eyes, dotted with desire.
Even as her consciousness faded, a thought ran through Nias’ head.
why? Why can’t you yourself?
Nias gently put his hand on Sbraq’s cheek.
warm cheeks. However, at some point, the cheek stained with demonic energy was touched.
And he remembered the name of a baby bird when he was still a baby bird.
“Arc.”
Nias whispered to the orphaned baby bird he had picked up.
He spat out very difficult words.
“…Because you are not a young boy.”
Shocked by those words, Sbrach’s hands relaxed for a moment.
Nias didn’t miss the chance and fired at Sbraq with both the raised Magi and the main force at the same time.
An explosion of dark energy pushed Sbrach to the wall.
Even during that time, Nias’ words echoed in Sbrach’s ears like tinnitus.
Sbrach gasped at this uncomfortable feeling.
“Demon King… ! I want you!”
The crow king tried to fly towards the demon king once more.
With the intention of killing him this time.
But at that moment.
“Cool?!”
The Raven King wiped the blood from his mouth.
“…This?”
It was the blood he vomited.
Was the demon king’s blow that strong? No, it wasn’t. Power enough to cause internal injuries… .
At that moment, a terrifying sensation overtook the Raven King.
Looking at the forest through the window, the Raven King noticed that some areas of the forest he had polluted were burning.
The labyrinth, which would never burn because of the magic, was burning.
“…how?!”
The whole body of the Raven King trembled at the unbelievable sight.
If so, this blood means that the crows he left behind in the forest to maintain the contaminated area died.
Sbrach was stunned.
To think that among the candidates for the hero, there was a monster that had already obtained this level of power.
Sbraq now realized that one of his traps had failed.
However, in the next moment, the Raven King smirked.
Isn’t there still one more strategy he dug up?
In fact, it was the most deadly.
“…All right. Then, as you wished, I will reveal everything about the Demon King to him. Then you will be abandoned by the one you love. So what will happen to the Demon King? I am curious.”
Sbrach laughed.
okay. It was better to see the demon king’s despair than to just kill him.
Even the demon king had to feel this gritty feeling of pain abandoned by the one he loved.
Sbraq wrapped himself in a cloak.
In the next moment, his body was gone, leaving only a single feather behind.
Nias gasped for breath and forced his throbbing body to stand up.
“Aww.”
A red-stained hand was visible.
It appeared to have been cut somewhere as it hit the wall a little while ago.
Red blood overflowed from the wound and dripped down the skin.
When I was young, I remembered the moment when the young master tied up his wounds with a handkerchief.
“…young master.”
Nias made up her mind and went to the door.
And the moment I opened the door, Nias was running.
Always, always, Nias felt guilty towards Leonhard.
Not once, because I had never told the young master about the truth.
about your identity.
about your true self.
so… .
Nias wiped the blurred eyes and rubbed them away.
So now I have to say
I had to speak with my own mouth.
whatever the outcome.
Even if the young master leaves him.
Even if he is with the young master, even if he becomes the demon king again.
Nias longed for it as he headed towards the labyrinth.

Just, I hope I can share even one more word with you.
“Boss, would you like to go see the puppy after school today?”
I wish I could say this again,
do.
.
.
.
The flames created by the sword started to spread the fire in the forest.
The flames of Purgatory, which could swallow anything, burned the forest covered with demonic energy.
There was no smoke, just a hot fire taking all the twisted things to Hell.
In an instant, the small monsters were engulfed in the flames and disappeared.
All that was left was Alouax.
The wind created by Aluax swinging his fist.
I, who split the space and avoided that cannonball-like blow, confirmed that the Witchbeasts who had just entered were burning.
The next moment, I reappeared above Aluax’s head.
“You should have been careful.”
Aluax realized me belatedly and reflexively swung his fist at me.
However, Elina’s sword, which came running from behind just in time to guard me, couldn’t escape.
The moment the sword pierced his thigh, the aim of his fist was greatly missed.
“Unbelievable! Why is this Alouax!!”

Just for a moment.
Aluax, who had been cut by the sword, was sucked into Hell with a cheap scream until the end.
Even a demonic beast will forever burn in purgatory and writhe in agony.
“…You seem to have used it much longer than the last time you used it.”
Elina looked around the burning forest and said,
“Because I am making progress.”
I smiled lightly, approached the trembling Kayden, and undid the restraints.
“Thank you.”
Kayden got up, adjusting his clothes.
While I was helping Kayden, Elina had an uneasy expression on her face.
“Now, how do I find Elin and Livia?”
I guess that’s what’s urgent. The survival of the two was at stake.
It will probably take a little longer until you get help from the professors because of the Magi’s barrier.
Even on our own, we had to conduct a quick search.
Right then.
“There is no need to look for it.”
An unpleasant voice was heard.
When I turned my head, there stood a man wearing a cape made of black feathers and with exceptionally long black nails.
It was Sbrak the Raven King.
I thought it would reveal itself only after dealing with the remaining destruction class, but it appears quite quickly.
“Here are the things you are looking for.”
I checked the two girls Sbrach was holding in his arms.
It was Libya and Elin.
If the Crow King was an opponent, it would have been difficult to deal with even two of them.
In an instant, heat rose in my head.
However, remembering that it might be an illusion, he reacted calmly.
I checked the two with a magnifying glass.
Tring!
[Check Libya’s status]
[Check Elin’s status]
both of them are real
But it was not like the Raven King.
Obviously, using those two girls as bait, he could have moved more cunningly, but it was an emotional move.
I turned my gaze and looked at him.
“The Raven King, Sbraq.”
Elina and Kayden, shocked by my words, could hear them gasp.
“Oh, you know me. Ah, calm down for a moment before you swing that sword. Because these girls are poisoned. As you can see, I’m just here to talk.”
I was speechless for a moment.
When I checked my status earlier, I confirmed that I wasn’t poisoned.
Such a blatant lie. It reminded me of what kind of person the character Sbrach is.
So, rather, I was interested in listening to what he was saying.
“What do you want to say?”
I nodded my chin, as if telling me to come on.
“Hmm… . You are cheeky.”
The Raven King’s feathers stood up eeriely.
But why do I care how he feels?
“What do you mean what you want to say?”
At my words, the Raven King gave a low laugh.
“Well, it will be fun to hear. It’s about a girl’s secret.”
