Soma was still walking alone under the blue, sunny sky.

Felicia and Sheila have business today, so she went home alone.

Maybe we should keep an eye on Felicia if it's true... well, we can't just do something like stalking.

Besides, I wanted to think a little bit, so I can say it was just fine.

I wish I could have said that after I was alone at home, but it was unclear if I could make that time in the first place.

Because Eina told me that when I broke up in the classroom, I would wait at night, etc.

Something like both to talk to and for battle power.

Well, I had no objection to going, so it's pretty valuable to have time to be alone like this.

Though...

"In the end, what should I do?"

If they say what the best end is, then such a thing is decided.

After preventing intervention from the world, the Holy Capital will not disappear, and Felicia will be helped.

No one has a problem with that.

But if it had been easy, it would not have been so far-fetched.

Yes… this situation is far-fetched.

For example, if the power of Soma alone could have done it, the story would have been easier.

Certainly there is a law of this world and so on in this world, but Satya should be able to apply some hand.

Then you just have to keep the power of Soma intact and isolate Felicia and me.

And then if Soma does something about it, that solves it.

Not doing so means that the power of Soma is not enough, but if we have to kill Felicia, then we don't need to do this again.

There must be an easier way to kill Felicia.

There is no point in continuing this situation.

Above all, if that were the only hand, Satya would move on to execution without getting lost.

Where soma and the others could turn to the enemy as a result, that can't be a reason to get lost.

Because in the end, you just have to choose it.

There must be nothing more to be done than to be.

but that is also doubtful if there are other means.

That's because the status quo is still too far-fetched.

If there is a way, all you have to do is present it.

If the result is the best, no matter what the struggle is, I don't want to be alone.

Neither is Soma.

But there is no sign of that happening, and only the vague situation persists.

"Well, complications are intertwined..."

I would like to draw conclusions as soon as possible.

With that in mind, Soma exhaled.

"... Nevertheless, if you think only of the situation, it's like a previous re-bake"

In the Elf Forest before, when I helped Felicia.

Even then, it was said that if Felicia died, it would be resolved.

But what's different from that time is that if you defeat something clearly, you'll figure it out.

If you dare, defeating the world may be equivalent to that... that's just how it works.

It's an old problem I can't do.

Defeating the world means annihilating the world.

There was something about the main fall as well.

"Well, but well, I really wonder what my senior year should do. They don't say that you can do whatever you want, but it really doesn't feel like you can do that. - What do you think about that area?

Words thrown at the sky are not directed at anyone.

In the first place, it's only natural because there's no one around.

But.

There was a response.

"- Well, what do you think? As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing I can say."

If you turned your gaze to your voice, there was a figure there.

Nobody was supposed to be there until just before, but now there's a boy there around the age of ten with a clear grin.

No... Something like a boy and should I?

And Soma knew what it was.

In the first place, this is not the first time I've seen you like this.

"Hmm, for now, it's been a long time, is that okay?

"What do you think...... it's been so long, I don't even think it's been a while. But what's certain is that we can meet again like this. I've been waiting for you, Demon King."

So it was - the devil had a grin that he didn't think was the devil.

The stand-up was nothing, so it was the park that Soma and the others headed to last night.

For some reason only, but the way I sit down on a blanco looks oddly good.

With that in mind, Soma shrugged her shoulders.

I was thinking of it as a possibility, but you were talking about Felicia.

"Oh, were you predicted? So I haven't, either."

With that said, you were out of hand, and the devil slowly started scrubbing the blanco.

If you're only going to see that look, it's still like you don't see it as a demon, but you're only sure that this is a demon.

But such a demon leaned his neck as he rubbed his blanco like that and looked strangely at Soma.

"Nevertheless, you shouldn't unexpectedly turn to killing, etc. To be honest, I was prepared to be killed without question."

"That being said, as you can see, I don't have that much power. Would you die just to the point of strangulation?

"Well, that's right. You don't need to breathe."

"Besides, would you not have done something that would have killed you?

"Is it? I don't think so... even if it were me, the real cause of the near-extinction of the Holy City?

The words were too many times to be spoken in jokes, and above all, I could not feel a lie in those eyes.

Enough to believe it's probably true, but Soma's reaction is to gently shrug her shoulders back.

Still, the answer was no different.

"Except for the story if there was malice there, but it wasn't?

"... at all, you're a hard man to do. Whether intentional or not, sin would be sin. And sin must be atoned for, and I think you have the right to do so?

"Is it just that you want to get easier? There's no reason for me to do that."

"That's tough. But... are you right?"

After all, for a while, only the sound of the blanco echoed on the spot.

There is no expression on the face of the devil, just looking at the void.

And then, like a zero drop, the whine leaked.

"I didn't like it, so I wanted to do something about it... it's hard stuff"

I didn't have any expression on its side, but my voice clearly has emotions.

It must have been remorse… or anger.

Looking at him like that, Soma exhales.

Really, he said he wasn't a demon.

Though I also understood that the very idea of the demonic appearance was shaped by some kind of prejudice.

Soma really had no intention of killing or anything against this demon.

Instead, it would be the thankful ones who are feeling it.

In Veritas, because this demon helped me.

I heard from this devil what those devils were capable of, and I was able to defeat them lightly.

I didn't know what would have happened without that.

Though I think we could have won eventually, the journey wasn't necessarily the same.

The possibility that more sacrifices had been made was also well considered.

That's why Soma is so grateful to this demon.

Regardless, I understand that this demon had a benefit as well.

Because in doing so, I was also listening to the purpose of this demon.

But still, thanks never change.

It didn't make any difference... because I thought it was more than enough.

I still remember my eyes when I said I wanted to help.

It seems that it was then that I tried to believe this devil's words, but as a result, they failed.

Perhaps it is true that the Holy City is about to perish because of this demon.

As a result of this demon doing something, Felicia's presence was distracted by the world, and every sacred capital was to be wiped out.

But I'm sure it wasn't on purpose.

The sign I feel from this demon is because its eyes don't seem any different from what they were then.

Or maybe Soma is just being deceived, but that would be the time.

At that time, I'm just saying that this demon was better up there.

I have no choice but to accept the consequences.

But now that I believe, I didn't have to do anything.

"So you didn't come all the way out here to say that?

"... right. It's true that if you'd excused me, I would have come to see you because I did have business with you."

As he jumped off the blanco that way, the demon, who landed without difficulty, stared straight at Soma.

I still have the same eyes as then, and its mouth opens just like then.

I thought I'd give you an answer.

"Hmm... answer, is it?

"Yes. In three days, she will reach her limits. And that's the limit of this world, and that's when this world gets deeper."

Speaking of which, you said so.

It reminds me of Eleonora's words.

He did say that in the story before he stepped into this world.

"That's when we should defeat the culprit. If it is then, it will have no other impact. Because this situation is originally a stage device for creating it. … well, then there seemed to be some desire for you to stay at peace."

That's all I told you, the devil turned his back.

Keep going, walk out.

"Well, I can tell you what I want to say, so I'm around here."

- See you then.

Leaving behind only the sound that the rider is gone Blanco can make and its words, the devil leaves.

As the other side of the sky began to stain red, Soma just kept staring at it as it melted out into red.
