119 – Squeeze the gap_3

+++

After being summoned to the Mage Tower, the demon Ereon escaped from Solar’s attack. That Erion’s subordinate, Adrian Colson. That Adrian Coulson’s subordinate, something unwilling to name, overheard his words as he sighed.

Would the expression eavesdropping be appropriate? It was completely destroyed by Odrox, and the remaining ears caught it, and the information was passed on to Adreon.

It had been a long time since Ereon tipped off the information about the man wearing bandages. A human who aroused the interest of the selfish devil. A human who embarrassed the archmage named Al Solar.

The first hero, Al Sola, 7 stars, son… A piece of memory that was left somewhere in the memory began to wriggle and assert itself, but Adreon, who had already been engulfed by the devil’s whisper, ruled out all such miscellaneous information. Then, with the man, I began to piece together the information I had just been talking to myself.

But no matter how much I rolled my head, I couldn’t figure it out. It was because Adrion, who had become a slave of the devil, was already in a state where his intellectual ability had fallen remarkably. So he decided to pass on the information he heard directly from the devil.

‘But… where are you…?’

He muttered that sentence over and over again, trying not to forget the information he had gleaned, waiting for the elusive demon to appear and disappear. Expecting a reward in the form of her stroking his hair.

A day passes like that, then two days pass. Everything Ron has done so far is painted over as theirs. In those memories painted over, he was always a bystander. I couldn’t ask for more value than a bystander because I was sure that my intervention would slow me down.

endured and endured Someday there will be sunny days Maybe someday I’ll have a chance to redefine my relationship with them after I show my true worth and embrace everything. I thought so as if I was comforting myself.

Still, they couldn’t see a single gap. hunt? trim? maintenance? reconnaissance? As if he didn’t need his presence in everything, they pushed him back and let each other do it. Among such perfect people, he who has not done anything in particular is treated the most. Like a last favor before being kicked out.

I was still not sure about this speculation, so I was able to endure it. But this tightrope ride won’t last long either. After all, they were hiding something from each other.

Ron moved to another place to wash his face to clear his mind. Thinking that it was all right, they sent him away and started conspiring among themselves.

“Isn’t something strange?”

“…Yeah. Something is uncomfortable.”

“What were you guys planning?”

“Ron seemed to be getting tired from caring about us, so we decided to work on each other’s weaknesses.”

“I see. That’s why there was no progress.”

“Yeah. It shouldn’t be like this. We need to deal with the demons quickly…”

“The devil? What are you talking about?”

“Oh, yes. I have to tell you too.”

Solar explained to Odrox’s question. Judging from the condition she witnessed firsthand, she shouldn’t have taken him with him to defeat the demon. He could have completely collapsed on the spot before the match, and if he collapsed, the minds of others would also be shaken.

“But you can’t suddenly take Ron away from here, can you?”

“I thought that if you gave me enough faith to not have to worry, I could do something. So I tried a little harder.”

“In the first place…”

Sola, who had been thinking so much that there was no time to get into, such as not being able to detect the demon and missing it, that such a demon might be roaming the continent, that the demon came out of another dimension, about Ron, etc. He opened his mouth as he groaned. The words she said were, at least here, taboo words, an extension of the words she had unknowingly uttered before, turning the atmosphere on thin ice.

“If Ron had told us first what he was hiding, wouldn’t we have been able to take care of it?”

“Couldn’t you have said that to us who couldn’t be trusted that much? Maybe he decided that it was best to deal with it alone.”

“Tell me honestly. Have you guys ever thought that way too? No matter how much we are colleagues.

“Solar. Go that far. You had a hard time like that last time too.”

At Rain’s words, Solar shut her mouth. It was because she wasn’t sure. Even so, the seeds she sowed were seeping into their gaps and sprouting.

It didn’t make sense that there was no conflict after more than 10 years of shared joy and sorrow. Each of them had some dissatisfaction with the other in their hearts, and Sola’s hesitant words sprouted that dissatisfaction.

“..for now, let’s continue as we are doing.”

Lane finished the agenda and changed the subject. It was a reluctant break.

..

Ron is now looking at his face reflected in the shallow lake. A face full of scars. Traces of self-harm that no one can proudly show.

He made ripples on the surface of the lake with a slightly strong gesture, as if removing the reflected face.

Then, he repeatedly washed his face as if hitting his own face. As he smashed his own reflected face over and over again, a disturbing aura caught up in his sensory network.

“..who is this.”

Ron pulled out his dagger lightly in a weak, limp voice. Before he knew it, the fog that once enveloped him began to create the shape of a demon in front of his eyes.

He was a reluctant opponent. Didn’t he collapse in front of Solar because of this b*tch? He thrust his dagger into the demon’s heart without delay.

“Whoops… it doesn’t work. It’s because it’s a shape created by magic and magic.”

“Thank you for the explanation. So why did you come here?”

“Your eyes are beautifully dead.. I don’t want to be abandoned.. was it? I heard your very cute lament.”

“pup..”

Ron rummaged through his pouch while his hand holding the dagger trembled. Not paying attention to his movements, the demon lightly puts his chin on his shoulder and whispers in his ear.

“I know what you want. That wish you don’t want to be abandoned. Will it come true?”

“I’m ignoring you, but I know you’re listening. You’re in a precarious situation where you’re easily swayed… Have you noticed why they’re listening to you and treating you well?”

“This is the last favor I give you. This is the last thing you will be abandoned, and you will have nothing left. The first warrior, the archmage, the saint, and the shield of the continent will all look at you.”

“You chose it. You always fail. Didn’t you achieve anything? Oh, there is one. That scar around your eye. You can do it all by yourself, right?”

“Since you only showed me how to be thoroughly ruined, it’s only natural that they’d be attached to you. Taking them with you would only damage their reputation.”

“Even if you’re gone, they don’t feel uncomfortable at all. Your existence is worth that much. It’s a position where no one cares even if you’re gone.”

“You kicked everything. Money, honor, even the friendship with them. It was a failure from the start. You are the only stain on the first warriors, and they are a failure.”

“And you’re going to ruin everything. You’re going to be bitterly dumped after tearing everything apart.”

He took a small bottle from his pouch and sprayed the demon. It was the holy water given by the church. The holy water splashed on the devil’s shape started to burn her body with a gurgling sound.

“You have to be there to make everyone sad. You feel it yourself too, right? You have to succeed at the end, don’t you?”

The devil said that while raising the corner of his mouth until the moment he disappeared. Ron turned his back on it and went over to them, washing his face dry.

As soon as he approached, the devil’s hint came to him as they looked at him with their mouth shut, but he quickly shook his head to erase it.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah. It’s okay. I’m really fine.”

do not care. do not care. Ron tried to change his mind, repeating to himself, but he didn’t realize that the fact that he was thinking that way was paying all his attention to what the devil said. Even so, the facial expressions performed with only the corners of the mouth fooled everyone. They couldn’t tell what shape the bandaged eye was.

..

After confirming that the shape he created has disappeared, the demon starts approaching Adrian. As soon as he felt the magical energy, he lowered his head and waited quietly for the demon to speak.

“There’s something you need to do.”

“Yes. Whatever, I will do as you command.”

“Disguise yourself. Erase your figure as much as possible and act as a scarred and abandoned mercenary. And take out the first hero, saintess, and continental shield separately. So that only the archmage and that person remain.”

Adrian Colson did not question her orders. As usual, he only nodded his head a couple of times and carried out the order.

With the help of Ereon, his appearance changes. The skin and bones of the face fill up with flesh, and the dead eyes come back to life. It becomes smaller in size and becomes a figure that stimulates the desire for protection. Although he became an intelligent boy with a beauty that stimulates the shady desires of the opposite sex, he vowed to follow the orders, gazing only at the devil as if he didn’t care about himself.

The devil waved his hand excitedly and told him to go.

He will move separately. In order for him to break down a little more, he will need fuel, so he must generously invest in Magi, a resource that only he can use.
