A slapping sound can be heard, and even such actions are accompanied by happy smiles and laughter.
“Why are you like that?”
“………”
Silent.
To watch this scene unfold before my eyes.
Without any malice... No, people with warm hearts who do not feel any jealousy, anger, hatred, etc. towards anyone...
I saw this happening right in front of my eyes.
I looked back at myself again.
“Have I wasted my life?”
“Why do you think so?”
“Seeing those two made me think that way.”
“Are you jealous?”
“If you don’t say it indirectly, then it’s not true.”
When I look back on my life before I die, it's true that I lived without rest.
I don't think I've ever had an experience like that before, when I was on my way to becoming a Demon King.
The more I see such sights, the more I feel like my beliefs are being shaken…
“Where are you going?”
"outside."
It's convenient that I can easily break through walls because I don't have a body.
***
The weather outside here is inclement.
It's a place where no one seems to come near, with a cold wind blowing.
It's a dangerous place where no one would feel strange if they died.
The opposite happiness is too burdensome for me.
“Fuck.”
It's confusing.
It's all because of that little brat.
Not only am I not achieving my goals, but I am also living in someone else's body, and my once firm beliefs are starting to waver.
Even I don't know what to do.
My body… doesn’t exist. Just something like a soul wanders around.
How many people can actually recognize me?
At least in this vast landmass, it is questionable whether I can even raise my ten fingers.
How long must I live like this? If I keep living like this and eventually disappear... I might just be content with that.
“Because I’m already dead anyway.”
But that might not be the case.
If I continue to live like this… I really don’t know what to do, and I feel so lost that I can’t see my future.
Moreover, although snow is spread all over this snowy mountain, it is not even possible to properly catch it.
What can I do?
“Fuck… If that’s the case, then just kill me.”
When he died, he was also wronged at the time, because of the useless intervention of those nobles.
We lost the war, and I had the experience of having my head cut off by a lowly human being.
But you're putting me back in a human body?
No matter how much I think about it, I get angry.
“Ha… Damn it… Why do these guys treat me like this?”
“I just.”
“I just wanted the prosperity of my race… and a country where everyone could live happily.”
Everyone shed blood because of that act, but in the end, history is written by the victors.
If we erase everything so that no one remembers, we can live on with the heartbreaking history forgotten…
“I feel like drinking more than usual today.”
I don't have the body to drink, but today is a day when I especially want to drink a lot.
Should I live like this or should I really go to that bastard?
“Kill me…” you might say.
I'm glad I survived.
But who is here? No one. In this world where no one knows me, I'm suddenly left alone.
It's like asking someone to cure a human being after parasitizing him on his body.
In that there are no pups who can recognize themselves, this may be a punishment worse than death.
“Is it karma?”
Well, I don't know how much time has passed, but at least when I think about the things I did,
It might be a very possible story.
In fact, this may also be something I suffer in my dreams.
If I were to suffer like this, regret it for the rest of my life, and repent for the sins I have committed… … .
“Fuck you fucking retards.”
Since I'm alive again, I'll come back to life somehow.
I'll do anything to bring back the glory we never had back then.
I'll be back again.
Back to those days.
***
After calming down my confused mind, I went back into the house.
“What’s the weather like outside?”
“It must be cold.”
“I see. That’s good.”
“??”
The only person who can talk to me is the nerd who asks me about the weather outside as if he was waiting for me.
I wonder why he is saying such things when he can't even feel the weather in this situation.
“Your Majesty.”
“…?”
“I don’t really care what the Demon King thinks or does.”
"so."
We were just sitting there talking, but every word we said carried weight.
“But you know, I never want to see people around me get hurt or injured.”
“Why is that?”
“Although we cannot wash away the blood-stained land, we can cover it and allow others to live on it.”
“………”
“So what I want to say is.”
Even though I was an elf who just laughed and let it go after hearing my harsh words and actions, if I had a body and a weapon,
Even in this disembodied state, it was aiming at me with such a killing intent that it wouldn't have been strange if it had aimed at me at any moment.
“Whatever you do.”
“Whatever you are doing.”
“Dreaming of revenge.”
“I won’t care about anything.”
“But the moment everything I’ve accomplished and the people I’m connected to are hurt and tears come to my eyes.”
-Swoosh
“?!! What… what is this??!”
I thought for sure you couldn't catch me.
But I got caught.
How did this happen… before I could even think about it… … .
“Kaaa ...
The unpleasant sensation and pain called 【pain】 is of a level of intensity and severity that I have never felt before.
It's like sticking a sharp needle deep into the space between the vertebrae, and not stopping there until you find a spot that feels very painful.
It's like holding onto that spine and holding on with all your might... It's to the point where you're saying, "Please kill me" instead of "Please save me" after enduring this.
A great pain was etched into every inch of my body.
“How does the pain feel after a long time?”
“Sigh… ke ...
“I have earned your trust, but don’t you think there is a reason why I have been left alone, even if the abuse I receive is always verbal?”
“Ugh… why… why!!! Ughh ...
“Did you think I would just let you out into the world so easily, without any preparation?”
“………!!!”
"It's a mistake. I sent them out for no reason, and I knew something would happen."
It's a look that I knew from the beginning.
Just trying to use me from the beginning…!
“Even so, after Mr. Rio and the princess had sex last time, mana started to gradually build up in your body, didn’t it?”
“Why is that…….”
“Because the size has changed.”
“Size?? What the heck… size?”
“I said size, but I guess I should just say the body looks a little clearer.”
“Ugh!! Ah… Ugh…… Fuck…….”
He finally took the hand that was stuck inside my body out.
However, instead of returning to its original shape, an empty hole appeared where the hand was inserted.
It's like there's a hole in my stomach.
“Listen carefully. If you die this time, there will be no next time.”
***
It feels a little noisy downstairs. Is someone coming?
“Ah… It’s uncomfortable.”
“Oh, I see.”
I can hear some noises from downstairs, but I don't have time to worry about that right now.
To apologize for my mistake, I was lying in my arms with Rio, feeding him fruit the size of an easy-to-eat piece of fruit.
"hand."
“Here it is.”
“This is bitter, so please have some, Your Majesty.”
“Me… Me?”
"no, I do not want?"
“Oh, no.”
Rio put a bite of his food in my hand, and I ate it without any problem.
Contrary to what Rio said, it wasn't like that.
It just tasted like sweet and sour fruit.
“Rio, this is….”
“What?”
I looked at Rio and called out to him, but Rio spoke in a nervous tone.
I just laughed it off because I knew it was a lie.
I don't know why I came to this point, but I'm happy that I can just spend time smiling like this.
This alone is enough for me.
“Rio.”
"why."
“Why are you so grumpy?”
The Rio I knew wasn't like this... ... I can't help but feel like he's becoming a little prickly as time goes by.
Rather than being too soft, it's better to be slightly rough and occasionally show a soft side.
It's better now!
Rather than being clumsy in every action like in the past.
“That’s because everything you do makes me angry!”
Speaking while angry is like… …
It looked like a cute chihuahua.
