Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~ - 169 Under the Blue Sky (Chapter 8 Epilogue)

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

Surrounded by voices praising Raige.

We drove away Azimid the blue dragon and the Dragon Man (Dragon Newt) who attacked us.

People are delighted where the wetlands have dried up.

It’s like a festival.

The increase in agricultural land will enable many people to live.

However, it leads to depriving people living in wetlands of a place to live.

In the original world, there were no sub-people such as the Lizard Man.

That’s why I didn’t care. But in the original world, too, many creatures have died with the development of humankind.

That’s why I sigh.

“What can I do for you? Mr. Chiyuki, are you worried?

Soon Nao, who came to my side, peeked into my face.

That big cat-like eye is looking at me strangely.

“It’s nothing. Nao-san, I just got a little worried.”

I shake my head and answer.

People are dancing in circles in front of them. At the center of it is Rage.

Raige is a hero. Some people hate him, but one way or another, he’s the one who’s saving people.

Remember the words of Magius the Great Sage.

Perhaps it would be better to change the perception of the past.

“Chiyuki… Cats shouldn’t think about rats.”

“Eh!?

Nao suddenly murmured.

I unexpectedly look at Nao.

But then Nao didn’t look at me.

She smiles happily at the festival.

“Well, this Nao-san is going to dance too!

Nao ran off to Raj and the others.

As soon as I got there, I started dancing with Reno, who was by Rage’s side.

“Nao-san… You….”

Watch Nao dancing.

When I think about it, I don’t know Nao very well.

Nao doesn’t talk about himself.

What were you doing before we met?

It bothers me. But you’ll laugh when you hear it.

“Cats shouldn’t think about how rats feel….”

The wise man said similar things.

At least we’re fighting for humans. It’s obvious when you see the people in front of you happy.

Maybe you shouldn’t question that.

That’s what I thought.

◆ Demon King Modes

“I didn’t expect you to steal my soul jewel (Soul Orb)….”

Speak out without thinking.

The jewels given by Croki were undoubtedly soul jewels (Seoul Orbs).

I knew Zarxis had it, but I didn’t think I’d take it.

“Yes, it is definitely a soul jewel (Seoul Orb), Your Majesty. And inside…”

Lugus frowned.

You don’t have to say anything else.

“I know. I feel the shadow of my mother from the jewels (orbs)….”

A nostalgic, terrifying feeling.

I can’t forget if I want to.

And the deep inside of your heart twitches. It was an impulse for destruction.

Mother’s power is sleeping in her body. It seems to have been activated a little by touching the shadow.

“Perhaps Zarxis was trying to do something with jewels (orbs)… What do you want, Your Majesty?

Lugus asks.

But there’s only one thing I can do.

“It’s a seal… Lugus. Do not reveal this ornament.”

That’s how I handed over the Orb to Lugas.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Lugus tries to leave in the middle of nowhere.

“By the way, Lugas, how’s Croki? You’re not here right now?

Croki went somewhere when she gave her soul jewels (soul orbs).

Is there anything I can do for you?

“No, I don’t know. Looks like he’s headed north of Luvania to the land of Alemania.”

I see. Alemania….. ”

Alemania is close to Luvania. Kuroki seems to be in the area.

It seems that Kuroki touched her mother’s shadow.

What does Kuroki think of touching that shadow?

That’s what I was thinking.

◆ Vampire Knight Jussio

“Ah, this is the new residence. Isn’t that interesting, Junior?

My sister, Ange, looks indoors and flies around.

Sure, my sister is right. Castles made of confectionery are unusual.

Walk through a baked hallway.

Now my sister and I are the dark knights of the lord of this castle.

The treatment is not bad. If you don’t want to be hostile, you can leave.

Maybe he just won’t be destroyed.

It is incredible considering that he was originally a family member of the dead.

“Sister, I think it’s better not to make too much noise. We’re new recruits.”

My name becomes mine in front of my sister. [M]

This can’t be helped anymore.

“I know, Junior. That dark lord seems kind, but your wife seems tough… I have to keep my eyes open…..”

My sister trembles.

When my sister, a ghost, trembles, the surroundings are shaken.

It is the phenomenon of the poltergeist.

The wife with silver hair certainly looked tough. If anything happens, it will soon be destroyed.

But it’s time for my sister to calm down.

It won’t be good for newcomers to make noise.

“Wait, new guy!

All of a sudden I hear a voice.

Turning around, there are warriors in red armor with vicious thorns.

Maybe I was caught in the eye because of the noise.

“Um, what is it?

I probably listen.

“You don’t have to be so scared. There’s something I want to give you as a new recruit.”

That’s how the warrior gives me a piece of paper.

“What is this?

“Read it carefully. Answer me later.”

The warrior leaves.

“Hey, Junior? What did he give you?

My sister peeks into the paper.

On the paper, it was written, “My beloved Kuna stepped on my team and signed up for the army.”

◆ Girl Wendy

The Kingdom of Brunia is far north of the village of Sunshoth.

I am now in the custody of the Feria Temple in that country.

Each of Sunshoth’s fellow villagers is taken apart.

Thanks to Kuroki’s introduction to the warriors, I didn’t get lost on the street.

I really must thank Kuroki.

From now on, we must walk our own paths.

I pray to Feria at the place of worship.

The goddess of marriage and childbirth, Feria, is the guardian of the children. I hope you protect the little ones.

“Wendy, are you praying again today?

I can speak up unexpectedly.

When I looked behind me, there was a high priest named Pommel.

Pommel is the priest who serves Feria and the wife of the High Priest Fultin of the Temple of Audis, just next door.

I am now the adopted daughter of Mr and Mrs Fultin Pommel.

The couple had no children and took me back. I will become a priest to serve Master Feria in the future.

“Yes, I was praying to Feria.”

I say with my head down.

Really? Please keep an eye on us, Goddess Feria. We pray hard. ”

Yes, ma’am.

“Then, when you’re done praying, come to my room, Wendy. I need to ask you something.”

That way, Pommel leaves.

Let’s pray a little later.

I kneel in front of Master Feria’s statue.

“You seem to be doing very well.”

I hear voices from above.

That’s a nostalgic voice. I’ve only had a little time since I broke up and I felt that way for some reason.

Looking up, there was a fairy with beautiful butterfly wings.

“Tibbell!

I scream without thinking.

Why are you here?

“Hmm! I came to check on you!

Tibbell shakes her feathers.

Then the scales fell on me.

“What is this?

I wonder why, when the scale falls, the view around something looks different.

“It’s a fairy blessing! I just want to thank you!

There are no tears in your eyes.

She came all the way for me. Very happy.

“Thank you, Tibbell. Why are you doing this?

“Hmm! Well, I was with you for a while, so I just thought you’d wake up bad when you’re unhappy!

Tiber-chan gently inflates her cheeks.

But he seems to be thinking about me. I’m so glad about that.

“Bye! I’ve seen what’s going on, and Tibel’s coming! Humans! You won’t know when you’re unhappy!

Tibbell says so and leaves the window into the sky.

I approach the window and look up at the sky.

The sky of Brunia is always cloudy and dim. Yet today it was somehow blue and bright.

Tibbell disappears into the blue sky.

She looks good in the sky for a fairy.

“Thank you, Tibbell… I’ll definitely be happy.”

I looked up at the sky and thought so.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

The land of Alemania is north of the land of Luvania.

It is not a very rich land because of its proximity to a dense Luvania.

People live in such a land looking forward in detail.

The Kingdom of Brunei is a country in the land of Alemania.

The population is about 8,000, which is quite large for this land.

Me, Kuna and Glorious came near the Kingdom of Brunia.

I’m back ~

Tibel returns to the Kingdom of Brunia.

“Thank you. Tibel”

Try to get Tibbell back.

“No, it’s nothing like this, Kuroki.”

Tibel flies to Kuna’s shoulder.

“Kuroki, why did you come all the way here?

Kuna says she’s in a bad mood.

This land will look boring to Kuna.

But I appreciate you still coming with me.

“Sorry, Kuna. I was a little worried.”

What bothered me was Wendy and the others.

I wondered whether they were safe, so I came to see how they were doing.

But I was worried.

Fultin, who helped in the castle of vampires, was an important figure in this country.

It seems that all the children were receptive to his work.

Wendy seems to be doing well.

I am relieved by that.

Look up at the sky.

Glorious blew the clouds away.

Thanks to this, the blue sky is spreading.

Sometimes I thought it would be nice to have bright moments in this dark place.

“Well, should we go back to Nargor? Kuna?”
