Kyūkei-san Wanna Take a Break !

Another perspective: Paola, first part

--I just ran away.

One day, I thought of that.

When I was using a pseudonym in the winter snowy mountains on the north side of the island country.

I really, really, suddenly thought so.

-

As the name of the species Phoenix suggests, I have been less interested in the danger to my life since I was born.

Around you, if you die, you die. I'll be back soon.

That's why I couldn't imagine the fear of dying at all, and I wasn't interested.

One day, a demon tribe of blue skin appeared in front of me.

"... this is my first family member."

After introducing himself to Belphegor, the Demon King shook his fluffy red hair and put his hand on my head.

--Strong.

I felt the overwhelming difference in power as a child.

I feel the height of the wall, even though I'm just holding my hand.

I became a family member of this demon king.

There is an absolute relationship between the Demon King and his family. So you must absolutely obey your master's orders.

It is also possible to force them to obey.

I have to respect you. Don't lose your mood.

But Bellefegor talked to me brightly about where my tension and readiness were blowing.

"No, no, I'm glad you called me Belle."

"Er... bell, oneechan?

…… Yeah, yeah! Belle, it's your sister!

As I learned later, it seems that there was no other demon king who could be forgiven for listening lightly to his husband.

It didn't take long for me to like my husband.

Although I met my husband again, I was allowed to operate freely as a Phoenix race.

I have appeared in human settlements more than ever before.

They worship a species called Phoenix as a symbol of life. Make my statue and worship the existence of Phoenix.

Rather than being a monster, it feels itchy no matter how it is treated like a spirit or a tribe of gods, but I don't feel bad.

While saying that I could not interfere much, I moved to help my believers when an unbalanced evil monster appeared on the land.

The act increased my reputation.

Belle's sister praised it.

"Humans are short-lived, low-HP species. Still, that's how many people have developed that short life."

"That's right... that's amazing"

"Yeah. Life is important, remember that. People who like themselves have to take care of themselves. I'm sure it will make a good impact on you."

"Yeah, okay, Belle, sister."

Belle smiled happily and stroked my head... trembling with her eyebrows.

"... Oneechan Bell?

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm worried. I've had a bit of a headache lately...."

"Are you up late? It's a big sin of laziness, so I need to rest."

"... it's weird, I'm sleeping a lot..."

I didn't really care because Belle's sister immediately cured her headache and left laughing.

From this day oneechan stopped seeing me very much, and finally disappeared from front of me with the phrase "I still have a headache, so rest for a while...".

It was a while later that I realized it was a fatal failure.

-

Over the years, I completely became an adult.

Since then, the believers have continued to worship me while changing generations. I was worried about my sister Belle, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, but I was strictly adhering to her teachings.

I am the leader of the Devil King. With that pride, I wanted to keep his word.

One day, Lucifer appeared near me.

"... you are Paola, the head of Bellefegor's family, right?

"Yes, but what about you?

The moment I heard that - my vision blurred.

And at the next moment, I was back on my feet.

I soon understood what had happened.

Now... I was suddenly beaten.

"I don't know what you're talking about against me. There's a lack of education in Bellefegor."

Your vision is blurred again.

Again, I'm standing.

And the gray man in front of him said, with no emotion at all, a sleigh.

"It's convenient not to kill as many people as you want. I wish I had these disposable pieces....."

... yes.

The demons in front of me have now killed me twice.

He suddenly came and beat me up and killed me twice, and he wasn't interested in me at all.

The pain of the moment I was beaten, which was supposed to be alleviated by my ethnicity, resonated strongly, or if I wasn't Phoenix, I'd be dead.

I'm not interested in anything.

I realized that the opponent in front of me was overwhelmingly superior.

But the next word surprises me.

"Seven Great Sin Demon Kings are gathered together. You, too."

…… Bellevue... is Bellevue Gore-san there?

You didn't answer my question, but... you didn't deny it.

Even Calcifer, who didn't introduce himself in front of me, disappeared from my head for a moment, and I was filled with it all at once.

Belle oneechan... bell oneechan is coming!

I'll see you again, Belle!

But...

The Belle sister who appeared at the Demon King's meeting... became something I didn't know.

"Belle Oneechan!

……

Belle's sister snips her fingers.

At that moment, my chest felt painful, and for a moment my consciousness was dark... and I stood there again.

Killed.

Me?

Are you with your sister now, Belle?

"... even if I die, I will come back to life. I see, you're Phoenix...."

"Eh...."

"... Bellefegor. I'm your master....."

Well, I know...

─ ─ As soon as I try to keep going, my consciousness gets dark again.

"... too little respect... this is my family...? Do you want to be expelled...?

"Ah... no! I'm sorry, Mr. Berfegor...."

"... do it from the beginning..."

In the meantime, Belle never looked at me.

The demon king in front of me was so different that I even thought he was really the same person as the one I knew.

Still... the status says you're my husband forever.

It attests to its subordination to the species in front of it, Berfegor.

Oh... I see.

I see.

I finally realized that "Belle Oneechan", which I loved so much, was gone.

Mermaid Beecher, the head of Leviathan's family, is a beautiful woman and a princess. It was accurate and easy to talk to, so I quickly got along. Mr. Leviathan didn't like it because he had a lot of whispers, but Beache seems to like his husband a lot.

Asmo Deus was very kind, and Idea, the lead family member, was also very attractive. There were dozens and dozens of succubus, but I feel like I'm already in a human town when it comes to women.

The other demon kings... didn't meet much.

I just think we all lived the way we wanted.

Mamon-sama was more of a demon king of suspicion than looting.

When you get what you want, don't spoil or destroy it.

It seemed prudent that all human structures had a treasure-like consciousness. Still, they steal it quite often.

The family goblin was left alone by Mamon. He seems to have the ability to move it at once when he needs it, but he doesn't seem to want to use it much.

Lucifer is clearly not good at it. No matter how polite and brief the conversation may be, the response is naturally underestimated. I don't suppose the person in question has any sense of underestimation.

Sometimes they raid human cities at random.

I have heard that royalty and nobility, especially those who have received praise, will be trampled down while stirring up.

Satan-sama feels similar. I let my family riot as much as they like, and I only think about how angry the other person is.

Honestly, I hate it.

Mr. Belzebub... actually, I've never seen him.

After all, my family came to the meeting of the Devil King and I didn't see him.

The demon tribe was fat and smelly, and I only remembered seeing the flies stuck on my shoulders and feeling very disgusting.

... and Berfegor-sama...

"... what, Phoenix..."

"Nothing in particular....."

"... I see..."

Berfegor has been sleeping in the back with his family.

Sometimes your family gets up and goes to sleep outside.

It was better than any other outcast demon, but still, the treatment of me was too rough.

I wonder if you don't remember the name anymore.

-

"--Mr Berfegor is a bit cozy, isn't he?"

The leading family members of the human form were sometimes in a position and close to each other, and gathered and interacted in a specific place.

Ideas nodded at Mermaid Beecher's words.

Everyone who talks to Beecher and Idea is basically negative about Berfegor.

I want to deny the denial.

I want to say that he is kind.

... I mean... it's not very convincing.

I'm looking at Master Berfegor, who killed me in an instant at the first meeting. It's not very nice, but you won't believe it.

"Hey, that's not a rare thing to say."

"Chloe?"

Shortcut white hair overlays brown ground hair and a woman with a slightly larger back than me appears.

She is Claude, the head of Lucifer's family.

A quiet, slightly frightened woman. However, I don't have that bad impression.

I don't know how to say I'm proud of you... but you're a good-looking woman.

"Lucifer also said that Berfegor is strong. Especially if you don't make a rough call."

"... that kind of thing..."

"Paola is the head of the family, right? Don't you know anything about Mr. Belfegor?

When I was asked about it, I tried to reply... and I was stuck.

(... I'm talking about Belphegor...... ah, let me...?

--I don't know.

I don't know.

Belle, you're not my sweet little sister, you don't know anything about Belle Fergault right now.

The ability and the degree of power.

I was not informed of anything.

"I don't know... I've never talked about it..."

"Yes, well, he won't talk to me, so I know."

I was relieved that you were satisfied with my answer.

But... I was really dazzled by myself that I hadn't noticed before.

Am I really your first family member?

You think I'm your first family member?

Dear Mr. Belfegor...

-

When I came back from interacting with my family... the building was on fire.

"Mr. Bellefegor!?

When I hurried in, I found myself... in the presence of Belphegore, who was standing still.

My face is lying down. I can't see my expression, and I have no idea what I'm thinking.

I'm just... sure it's not unusual.

Look around.

All Belphegor's family is dead.

How the hell did this happen...

There was a raid.

Huh?

"According to Lucifer, a human set fire with tools from the outside...."

"Oh no...."

The atmosphere of Mr. Berfegor changes.

Faced up, his eyes were terribly cold, and his spine froze as if he had been exposed to ice water while he was in the fire.

"Humans must be killed.... Phoenix. It's my first order as master."

Ha!

Belphegor's orders.

I knelt nervously and waited for Master Berfegor's instructions.

"There were your followers. Kill them."

"Ha!... what?

The moment I spoke —— my vision dimmed.

That's...! I can't believe I just said one word back and got killed...!?

"--You answered. Does that call into question the order? Then let's exercise our rights as masters."

…… Wait, wait! It 's-- "

Don't worry, I'll kill him myself.

The moment you hear that voice, a strange magic spins around your body.

This is... an "absolute order" from my husband! Enforcement of slaves, inscribed in the name of the race of stats!

"... ah..."

I can't hear you anymore.

Belphegor had already lost interest in me, and he seemed to take out his sword in one hand and go to crusade against humans.

At that time... the remains of my family, the Demons, are on my feet.

Looking at the body, Master Berfegor... kicked it off.

It's like killing your family is just a pretext, so it doesn't matter.

-

As he became a bird of fire, he grew up completely and descended into the village.

There was a man who usually cleaned the small temple that enshrined the statue in my place.

Don't do that.

Please don't.

"This is Phoenix! What the hell is going on this time--"

As soon as the man approached, a fire was blown up from his feet, and the voice of the demon was turned into charcoal in an instant.

... I did it.

I crossed the line.

"Master Phoenix!?

"Disaster! Disaster!

Burn and kill fleeing people like other people in a body that is not free.

Looking at a village full of flames... I remembered the old days.

--Life is important, remember that.

Belle, sister.

I grew up cherishing them, and in an instant they all died.

----People who like themselves have to take care of themselves.

Belle, sister.

Didn't you take care of it?

--I 'm sure it will have a good impact on you.

Belle, sister.

The impact is.

It was just a feeling of despair.

For humans, for me.

I shouldn't have told you it was Phoenix.

... how did this happen...?

Where did my belle sister, who I loved, go...

Somebody... answer me...

All of a sudden, freedom returns to my body.

Your consciousness, which has faded so far, suddenly returns to reality.

--At the same time, it is attacked by a strange sense of loss.

"Why... no way...!? [Status]!

And I realized that the notation that had always been next to my race was gone.

The only proof of connecting me to Belphegor is the '(Master: Belphegor)' that should be there.

The notation is missing.

"... dead... Belphegor... that demon king..."

I was aware of the most "death" thing I had ever known.

Master Berfegor is dead.

... maybe it's because I thought, "Where have you gone?"

Belle... oneechan really went somewhere far away.

"... dead... oneechan Belle...!

Loss for the first time in many years.

"People who have honored themselves for many years," Belle said to her sister.

"Belle Oneechan, who has been my husband for many years," is too big a loss.

It attacked at the same time.

Negative emotions that rage around your body.

It's as if I've been deprived of my right to manipulate my body, where my freedom is supposed to come back.

Even Beecher, Idea, and Kloe blew out of their heads and crossed far west into the sea as the bird of fire.

Far, far away... no one knows about me anymore, even the land without the influence of any demon king...
