A Wish to Grab Happiness

The throne room that was invaded by the demon slowly regained its original form.

The army of demons flooded like the clouds and disappeared in agony.

"--- Roogie!"

It was Caria who shouted that way.The moment Rugis slashed at Arueno, they were covered in demons.Grabbing a giant hammer won't break my army.Even if the dragon monster shouted loudly, even if the elf's magic spell went mad.

But that army is about to disappear.The clog is that something happened to him or her.

The settlement has been reached.

Suddenly, a cloud of dead snow was removed from the window, and the sunlight was shining through the room.

It's the sunset. A moment that is neither day nor night illuminates the forces of the demons.

--That was the end of it. They disappeared like dreams.The remaining fragrance of Altia's dreams could no longer be seen.

Silver makes the flash run.The scattered rubble was cleared, and Kalia stepped hard on the floor with blood dripping from her forehead.Anxiety is appearing at my feet.Fearato, Eldis, it was the same.

After all, the demon army was overwhelmed to crush the entire throne room.I'm not sure that the humans lying in front of Arueno's malice are safe.

Their eyes crawled around the entire throne room.But there are people everywhere.--No, I can't even see Alueno and Luigi.

"... what do you mean?"

Eldis said, stiffening his blue eyes and twitching his long ears.It was a word to speak on behalf of the questions on the spot.

No one could have been crushed by a demonic army and disappeared.Fearlessly blinking his black eyes again and again, even though the worst sight was just a thought.

That's how I saw it and heard it. Ho, I heard a dry sound first.

"... you guys. If you're a hero... come a little sooner."I knew it. The way they saved us.Beauty is all there is to it. "

- Jewel Agatos. She was lying like a dead man, leaning against the pillars of the throne room.

It's her aesthetic to lose most of her body and no longer speak out, but it's her aesthetics that don't break down at all times.

Fialert rushes at once. The black eyes recovered a little calm from their impatience.

"Agatos...... I'm glad you're alive."

"I'm not alive." It just hasn't disappeared. "

With irony, Agatos offered several gems, including the big one on his chest.Without saying whether it is or not, press it against both hands of the fiarate.All the jewels were coated in Agathos' blood, but there were no scratches.

What is in the jewelry?Agathos said foolishly without Fialat asking.

"We couldn't all do it."But we could have saved some of them.... I wonder what it's like to be a real demon.It was Leu's fault. But I'm glad she's asleep in the jewels.... I can't show you that I exposed a half-baked man at the end of my life. "

Agatosu!

Alongside Agathos, who was lying alone, Fialat held his hand.It was no longer the same as having no body temperature, and I could see that she was losing her magic power.She must have survived the aftermath of Alueno's magic.

Kalia and Erdis approach with a nervous look.Both of them seemed to have a hard time deciding what look to make.

It is good that there are those who are saved.Blessed from the bottom of my heart.But--is he there?There was such an emotion in the back of my eyes.

I don't think he's here.

Agatos said with such a momentum to divide their thoughts.

"--What do you mean by that?Please, tell me. "

Kalia listens with mystical eyes.In any case, I was desperately suppressing my emotions.

"He must have killed Altia."Then he's not just a demon anymore.I'm not a human. I'm not here anymore. "

The beautiful sunset pierced Agatos' cheeks.Even my jewel-like beautiful eyes are swaying and shaking.

Even though he looked like a dead man, Agatos stared at the three of them with a dull smile.

"Well, that's right. God knows."If God is always looking for balance.

--Along with all the matches, what are you doing with your face?It's okay. He'll come back no matter what.Or are you not confident that you will come back? "

No.

Erdis said first.She is also shaking her blue eyes and desperately biting off what is in her back.

"That's what he told us to believe.Then we'll believe it. I'm sure you're safe enough to say, Rougis. "

He snaps his fingers and narrows his blue eyes.I was never relieved.As a matter of fact, Luigi wasn't here, and even seemed to have vanished.But it wasn't decided that he was dead.

Then his words are the most to be believed now.Caria also nodded.

If you don't come back, I'll just hunt you down anywhere.

"I feel a little differently."Well, by the way, Rougis wouldn't be here to throw them all out and help himself. ”

Callia, Fearato, Eldis and his expression are not so different.She said strong words with anxiety and impatience on her face.

I mean, he said it.Believe in yourself. Then we have to believe him.Otherwise, the trust that we even deposited in each other's lives would be a lie.That alone was more than anything.

That is why they believed that he was alive.I'll be right back.It is common for him to dazzle.

Agatos laughed as his cheeks twisted.Just like that, I closed my eyes. Just as the demonic army had disappeared, it was thinning out.

The most magnificent jewel in the world disappears with a smile on its face.

The rest of the jewels lost their masters and unleashed their magic.Mattia, Ann, Phylos, and the rest, including Leu.Agatos defended the man Leu once said he wanted to protect until the end.

But after all, there was no Rugis there.Caria, Fiarat and Eldis.I didn't say anything. It even seemed to me that what I said was a betrayal to him.And the magic covered the throne room.He could have been blown away somewhere else.

But Luigi was nowhere in the capital.No one knew where he was except God.

◇◆◇◆

--- I was the only one with a clear sight.Slowly spinning the memory of being beaten up.It was the only thing that made me feel alive.

The feeling of slashing Artia's soul in opposition to Alueno.

Your dying body feels like it's about to collapse.

I don't know if that's the way she felt when she gave her life for me.

It was the only thing that was shaking in front of my sight.Inadvertently, I want to deny the sight.

But I had a strange sense of reality in my chest.If I'm in the opposite position, I'll do it naturally.Then Alueno will do it again.No matter where we go, we're like each other.

Then this is too much of a fact.The unconscious crawls in my chest.

Something like this. There's a lot to be gained from this journey.I got more than I deserve.But as a result, we will lose Arueno.

Makes me laugh.

I seemed to be in a dream with a thought that could never be solved.The rotten body won't allow you to awaken easily.

Where is this place? What am I doing?I was in a strange mood. Even though your consciousness is vague, only your body is walking. I keep walking.

I can only see the surroundings with thin eyes, but nothing can penetrate my eyes just because the darkness is reflected.

No matter how far we walked, we couldn't get there first.Take one, two, three steps and walk again.My legs are as heavy as walking in the mud.My whole body felt strangely dull.

Hearing is the only thing that is clear.Dust, dust and gears are all ringing.

We met when we started to think that just walking like this was the only meaning of this dream.However, the journey seemed to reach somewhere.

Suddenly, it happened.

The only shining throne in the dark.It reminds me of a mossy ancient taste rather than a luxurious one.But it was much heavier and more majestic than gold and silver.Just like what I saw in the spirit god Zebreliris.

The eyelids that were supposed to be asleep opened up clearly at some point, looking at it.Soon, your body's senses became clearer.

At my waist--a demon sword that I should have lost.Pull out in one breath and hold. The tip of the demon sword clinging to my fingers even roared.

On the throne at the end of his gaze, there was a woman who poked her elbow on the shore.

Dressed like a folk costume, the details are wrapped in ornaments.But it may not seem flashy because her behavior was commensurate with it.

Golden hair, golden eyes.It's a lot calmer than I know.

I narrowed my eyes and squinted.

"You're so free to come out to my dreams, aren't you?"

The woman sitting on the throne instantly responded with golden eyes.

― ― It's a noisy greeting. Heroes of Humanity "Rugis"

"-A woman who makes funny jokes even in her dreams, Altia.Do I have to say hello to you? "

The great hero Altier was still shining on the throne in the dark.I feel that kind of presumptuousness more than when I met her in real life.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. If she's here,I only remembered the reaction that slashed her soul, but I wasn't sure it would end with just being killed.

Medic, king of men, gave life to his soul even after his death.Then the Great Hero, Altia, may have his soul murdered and his hands beaten.

While wielding the demonic sword, he thrust it at Altia.I bit my back teeth slowly.

But it doesn't matter if you had a knockout hand.

I'll kill you right here.The sadness of losing Alueno raises the hatred for Alutia.Calm down, I was staring at my feelings.As the night remembers, it creaks up.

But Altia loosened her cheeks like a bitter smile, and then lightly raised her hands upwards.

“I know what's going on between you and me and what you think.But I'm like a messenger to you. [M]It is different from the person himself.I don't want to fight, I don't want to fight. "

I narrowed my eyes unknowingly. Somehow.

There was always hostility between me and Altia.All that was at the end was a struggle.

But Altia, sitting on the throne, really can't see any such will.Rather, she says with a gentle, elegant waist.

"You called this place a dream."It is not a mistake, and it is part of your consciousness. [M]However, it would be easier to understand if you thought that it was a place where we shared our consciousness.

Hmm. I don't care about you.It's not like you care about details, is it?Me too, let's get down to business. "

"... do you have something to say to me?"

Altia said she was a messenger.I don't remember anything that had to be told from her mouth.I'd rather bite another human than let her serve as a messenger.Humans, if emotions get in the way, you can't ask for any kind of information.

Altia nodded indifferent to my emotions and rose from the throne.

The demon sword moved stupidly and revealed its vigilance.He raised his eyebrows, but instead of coming towards me, Altia stood beside the throne and said, "Show me your palm."

I felt that it wasn't my fault that the golden eye looked at me with sadness.

"It's only your responsibility to transfer this responsibility to you."This is already your throne.Rougis, the hero of mankind, the cervical tree of the ages. ”

The sound of emotion vanishes from Altia's voice.I said it was a terrible mechanical move.

"I don't want to hear any jokes.I don't remember it becoming such a big thing, and it wasn't a good fit for the throne.Even in my dreams. "

"Listen to me till the end."

Altia pierced me with her definite words and golden eyes.

"It's me or Oufl." No, other great demons and demons were fine too.Didn't somebody tell you that?In other words, you're negligent. It's all about the heroes of this world.The thing that killed the demon became the demon.The thing that killed the Great Devil becomes the Great Devil.

Of course. To kill a monster, you have to be a monster.― ― In that case, the thing that killed the hero of the era becomes the hero of the next era. Naturally, right?

This era was the era of my 'domination'.Before that, the era of "struggle" was lined up with three heroes.Even before that, it was the era of the "flood" of the spirit god Zebra Lilith.It has been changing all along.As the mechanical gods built it. "

The world has always been a hero of the times, says Altia.

It's a ridiculous lie.Whatever God is, he says things that he does not understand without changing his appearance.I don't even want to put it in my ear.

But Altia's eyes didn't have a frighteningly false color.It's like a machine talking about history.

Your spine is crawling with a dazzling feeling.

Therefore, you who have killed me shall inherit our throne.

So I finally understood.

In front of me is Altia, not Altia.It's not someone I know, it's something else.In other words, it's just here as a symbol of the human hero Altia.

Along with Altia's words, the darkness grew thin and clear.Finally, I could see the surroundings.

- They were there.There were them. They were there.Gather around the throne.

Giant hero Flimslat. Tenryu hero Vriligant.Spirit heroes Zebrellis. Heroes who were called great demons in the Shinnyo era.So many demons. Those who were isolated from the world by being called the manifestation of demons.

Everyone has been guided by this throne, as they say.

"Come on. Sit down, new human hero, Rougis."To start your era. "

Altia snaps her fingers and points to the throne with her palm.Countless eyes were just staring at me unconsciously.

The reason why Altia manipulated so many magic tricks with her palm.The reason why Altia called herself a spirit.I felt that everything was there.

Yes, I'm sure the throne has it all.Everyone sat here to inherit the times.Become a god, a great demon, a hero.Then shall they be smitten, and the next shall sit here.

It's like spinning an eternal gear.

I didn't expect this to be a dream anymore.A strange sense of reality crawled through her body in astonishment.

”... I'll be your king instead of you?”

"It doesn't matter what you call it. But now you must be our Lord.That's what it's like to sit here.--Besides, there is someone who wants to save you, right? "

Without telling his name, Altia said:I accidentally peeled my eyes and snorted my teeth.The hand that grabbed the demon sword rang.

This one, Abazure.

"...... I'm just the person I was before I died, and I'm cut off from the person I was after I died, but I know how you feel."What I am told is business.But I'll tell you anyway.

I once sat on this throne for the man I wanted to save.To kill me and save those who died for me.This throne is, so to speak, the power to fulfill your wishes. [M]If you wish so, the gears of the ages will swell as you think. [M]Just like I did.

So if you still want to save her, save you, save those who died for you,If at this time you still want to break your wish and give up! "

Altia told me that you should seize the future here and now.

To fulfill my wish. Gain strength to revive Arueno?

Stupid, isn't that possible?The dead will not rise. Such a thing is normal in the world and should not happen.

But Altia and Oufluh died and appeared before us.No, that's where Altia dug up a lot of dead people from the grave to show them.Even if it was blasphemy.

Altia said the mechanical gods built it.The names of the gods that once created the world from Labour, and whom Altia had never remembered but destroyed.

But if those people were the truth and left behind a mechanism like this.

With his sweaty palm, he unexpectedly regained control of the demon sword.

"I'm a human being." I don't care where I go. "

"That's right, both I and Oufl were human."He was a human being, a human hero. "

Altia's eyes were madly straight.There's even grief in there, scratching my emotions.I didn't even know what I looked like.

"That's it. I don't know what the world would be like if you lived and died as a mere human being."The same thing happened again.Peace lasts for less than a hundred years while you live.You will be lavishly enshrined and laid to rest in your grave.

- But after you die, the tomb will be uncovered.Mankind will now slash your words. [M]One word becomes spoken with a thousand interpretations.

It will eventually create a new faith.The rest is easy. Faith gives birth to faith.Beliefs conceive beliefs, and beliefs accompany struggles.Because I will never accept the belief that I will meet and surrender to others. "

Golden eyes stare at me.Behind it you can see a sight.It was a familiar sight.

Blood splashes, organs bounce, people die.The child's skull is crushed and both men and women disappear.Blockage, the essence of the battlefield.

"Your blood will contend against your will."Neither the giants, nor the dragons, nor the spirits were so weak as to tie their hands after losing you.The world enters an era of disorderly 'division'.I don't want to see it either. "

I saw something unbelievable.

Altia bows her head and kneels down.It was as if I was being honest with my own king.No, she's not the only one.All those called heroes who covered their surroundings were dressed in the same way.

"--Our master. The cervical tree of the times."Mankind's hero, Rougis. Come to the throne.The world will serve you. [M]Until the day the one who kills you appears. "

Oh, I see. I'm even convinced.I don't really know what kind of gods are these mechanical deities.But that's what they wanted.

At the end of the struggle, he only wanted the world to remain balanced and connected.I'm sure there's no ill will or good intentions out there.Just keep the world you built turning like a gear.That is why those who oppose the mighty of the ages are born.

And now he wants me to be part of it.The gear that spins the world. I am saying that it is for my own desire.

Follow the world and save Alueno.

Exhale. I sniped my fingers.It's surprisingly hot.You're going to do it. You're going to do it.

Ohuru's words are now floating in my head with a fever.

― ― Just for now, Luigi.At this time, you have the opportunity to escape.Destiny will miss you.

He said. I didn't run away. This is the best place to do it.

Destiny has driven me to the brink.I want you to choose your future here.

――――

He shook the air and said. That's how I chose it.

The end of my journey.
