The Demon Prince goes to the Academy - Chapter 482
Chapter 482
Luna answered my call.
No, rather than responding, it feels like responding to a provocation.
The maddening wind died down when she appeared.
Luna Artorius was still looking at me with the same calm expression as back then.
full moon night.
I finally found her.
no she came to me
“What do you want to do, wandering around a place like this at a time like this?”
Luna Artorius asked as she quietly brushed her long black hair.
“I want to find my mother.”
At my words, Luna let out a short sigh.
“I asked why I had to listen to that mother. yes let’s say that So what do you want to do after finding me?”
“I want to become stronger.”
“… … .”
At my bold and shameless request, she stares at me.
what kind of kid do you have?
It seemed to read that thought.
obviously.
Ellen’s mother is, of course, Ellen.
Because Ellen made me stronger, Ellen’s mother came to visit my mother because she thought she would make me stronger.
Even if I think about it, I think I’m a bit of an oddball.
“You don’t know what Ilwoldang is. However, if you are not an idiot, you will know that the Ilwoldang, including me, is a group whose principle is not to interfere in the affairs of the world. Didn’t you hear me clearly?”
“I heard.”
“So you see I have no reason to help you.”
“Then why are you here? Ignore it.”
At my words, Luna Artorius stared at me.
uh.
Look at that mouth sticking out.
Are you exactly like Ellen?
She tries to take a step forward.
no.
This guy used some kind of bizarre space travel.
Are you really going?
“No wait! for a moment! for a moment! I was wrong!”
“… … .”
At my persuasion, she suddenly stopped taking a step and disappearing in space.
“I’m just trying to ignore it because it’s okay to ignore it. Didn’t you tell me?”
“As you know, my mother, I have a bit of a talking habit.”
“Yes, there is something I regret, so I understand that being polite isn’t very good at home training.”
“Because I lost my parents when I was young, home education is inevitably difficult… … .”
uh.
If you think about it, isn’t this something we can’t say to each other?
Because my father and Luna’s son died together.
I was about to say something, but when I stopped, Luna stared at me.
“… … .”
Even the one who brought up home education came first, so if you made a mistake, that person would come first.
“hmm… … . Excuse me. sorry.”
She covers her mouth and clears her throat, muttering softly.
“Anyway, the reason I came here is to let you know that no matter how much you wander around here, you will get nothing from me. Stop wasting time unnecessarily.”
Luna stares at me quietly under the moonlight of the full moon.
“Reinhardt, don’t try to save what you can’t save. All I can tell you is this.”
she can’t help me
So, is the only thing Luna can say to do something worthwhile elsewhere at this time?
Is that really all there is to it?
“The gate crisis is almost over.”
“… … .”
“But at the last gate, a monster that no one can deal with will come out.”
“is it. You know strange things, so if you say so, so be it.”
“Mother, what will happen if you draw out Alsbringer’s true power… … . do you know?”
“… … .”
She looked at me and was silent.
The silence was the answer.
“You know.”
“Yes, the power of a god can be projected onto the body of the owner.”
Luna knew about Alsbringer’s true power.
“However, he loses his life as a price for daring to call the power of a god into his body. Because no mortal being can handle such power.”
Luna looks at me quietly.
“You know that too.”
“At this rate, I will have to use Alsbringer to break the last warp gate.”
“What the hell is going to show up at the end?”
“Dragon.”
“… … .”
“A dragon from another world will appear.”
A non-existent existence.
The dragon of the other world was the last enemy I had to deal with and the final boss that appeared in the original work.
* * *
“If you don’t use Alsbringer, you won’t be able to deal with that monster.”
Luna listened calmly to my words and tilted her head.
“But even if you become a handful stronger here, the chances of being able to deal with the dragon are slim.”
“I guess so.”
Even if I become a master class, I don’t know if I can deal with the last monster.
To be honest, unless I become strong enough to summon Ars, the god of war, it would be hard for that to happen.
“But we can’t wait for the future that can only be achieved through death.”
“If you have to do that, you talk as if you must do it.”
“… … .”
“Why do you have to?”
Luna asks quietly.
“Why do you think you have to sacrifice yourself to save the world?”
“The things of the world are the things of the world.”
“The world’s business is everyone’s business.”
“It’s everyone’s business, so it’s nobody’s business.”
“But why do you live as if the world’s affairs are your own?”
“If we don’t save the world. Why do you live as if everything is about to end?”
“If you turn away from it, is it your fault?”
“Why do you live under the pressure that you have to take all the responsibility.”
“I don’t know what the dragon of the other world is, but as long as it is a life and a monster, it will not be able to destroy the whole world.”
“I don’t know what that monster is, but it can only destroy what’s in its eye. That’s why there must be a world safe for that monster.”
“The world is wide.”
“So, isn’t it a way to avoid monsters and live your own life?”
“why.”
“Do you take for granted that you have to die for the world?”
“why.”
“I have to live as if it were natural.”
“why.”
“Dead with my son… … . The demon king’s son… … . you.”
“At that time… … .”
“With the same eyes as my son at that time.”
“Saying something similar to that time that you have to die for something.”
“Is this why you came to see me?”
A tear fell from her eye.
i saw
* * *
He said it was a rainy day.
Ellen had spoken ill of her brother and had been slapped by her father.
I heard that that was the last thing Ellen saw of her brother.
So Ellen once told me that she came to hate rainy days.
That day must have been a different memory for Ellen’s parents.
It must have been the day he heard his son’s decision to kill the demon king for the sake of mankind.
Lagann Artorius left.
Lagann Artorius must have believed that killing the demon king was good.
In fact, the previous demon king Balie I knew had the goal of creating a different world through Akasha and going to a world without humans.
War broke out because there was no way to know each other’s circumstances.
The War of the World War was a war that took place because they were afraid of each other and had no intention of understanding each other.
Regardless of who attacked first, it is true that Lagann Artorius died in a fight with the demon lord.
So regardless of right or wrong, I will be the son of Luna’s enemy.
Luna watches me still as I say exactly the same thing as my son who said he was going to die in the past.
She shed a tear, but no more.
Without even thinking to wipe the flowing tears, she looks at me in silence.
her son is dead
But the devil’s son comes and says the same thing.
But the meaning is different from then.
Why should I die for the world?
responsibility?
a sense of duty?
Now I’m not sure.
“Honestly, I don’t even know anymore. Why do I have to do this now? I don’t know.”
“Yes, then… … .”
“There must be someone I can turn away from. clearly.”
I cut her in the middle and enter.
“I just can’t. I think that’s all.”
I also have my responsibilities.
There is also a sense of duty.
But in the end, when I really ask why I have to do that, there is only one thing I can say.
You can’t turn away from the world that has ruined the world.
I can turn away, but I can’t.
So, at the point of approaching salvation, which must be driven and driven and finally completed by death.
I didn’t want to die, so I came here in search of other possibilities.
Lagann Artorius would have said he would die for humanity.
However, I said that I would have to die for humanity and the world at this rate, so I wanted to find a slightly different possibility.
Luna looks at me quietly.
“I don’t know what dragons in the other world are, but you will know that even if you become stronger here, it will be difficult to deal with them.”
“I guess so.”
“Nevertheless, I wanted to find even the slightest possibility, so I was crossing the mountain for days and days.”
“yes.”
“… … .”
I don’t know what kind of existence she is, but it was clear that Luna was not involved in this situation in any way.
can she help me
If I decide to help, what kind of help can I get?
“I don’t know if I can really do this.”
However, she didn’t seem to have any ill feelings about me being the son of the demon king.
“But you won’t be banned from setting foot in Lizaira.”
she stares at me
“Reinhardt.”
“… … yes.”
“Close your eyes.”
Following her words, I closed my eyes.
I felt her cold hand lightly rest on my shoulder.
“It happened. Now open your eyes.”
I just opened and closed my eyes for a very short time.
“… … ?”
I could see a small village stretching down the hillside.
* * *
What is the source of Luna’s power?
It’s not like magic, it’s not like psychic power, it’s not like divine power.
Judging by the classification of a master class, she uses power close to mystical that surpasses her physical abilities.
A small basin somewhere in the rugged Serene Mountains.
In that basin there was a very small village of about fifty houses at most.
The wooden houses, built of wood, weren’t that old, but they weren’t terribly fancy either.
It was a scene of a rural village that could be found anywhere.
It was nighttime, so no one was walking around.
Is this Lizaira?
“Here… … . How safe are you?”
“It’s complicated to explain, and even if you understood it, it wouldn’t make any sense to you. But now people can’t find Lizaira.”
In the past, anyone would have been able to find Lizaira. But now, no one can find Lizira anymore unless the villagers bring her here.
She quietly looks up at the full moon sky.
Gently wave your hand outstretched toward the sky. As if manipulating something.
I was watching the slow but graceful movement.
“What are you doing?”
At my question, she shook her head slightly.
“You will find out later.”
She seemed to be the kind of person who never said more than was necessary.
“Follow me, you think you need to rest.”
she quietly walks ahead
I can see her attire now.
She was wearing a dress that could be worn by rural women everywhere. It was supposed to be her normal clothes.
Since she was the head of the Sunwoldang, she must have been the leader of Lizaira. However, it seemed that they were not much different from ordinary members of the village.
She took me to a two-story wooden house.
Come to think of it.
This is the house Ellen has lived in since childhood.
He was born and spent his childhood in this house.
That thought stirred something strange in me.
however.
Ellen and I are no longer friends, but this situation comes to that friend’s house without any friends.
“What are you doing? not coming in.”
“Ah yes.”
At Luna’s urging to open the door, I entered Ellen’s house.
“Honey, a guest has arrived. Come out.”
Hearing Luna’s voice gave me goosebumps all over.
what.
Suddenly, a completely different tone of voice.
What?
As if asking where the cold and callous tone had gone, I was at the point of cognitive dissonance in his soft, affectionate voice.
So if Ellen gets married, will she be equipped with this way of speaking?
uh… … .
hmm.
As soon as Luna said that, a man appeared.
“… … You must be Reinhardt.”
It seems that he somehow knew that I would come to Lizaira.
A handsome man who resembles Ellen, but with a softer, more pleasant impression to be precise.
I remember seeing a portrait of Lagann Artorius one day.
Of course, it was a man with a very similar impression to him.
He slowly approached me, and Luna took a step away from me.
Luna didn’t seem to feel any hatred for me, the son of the demon king.
But Ellen’s father might have a different opinion.
However, he smiled lightly and held out his hand to me.
“It’s Ronan Artorius.”
Unlike Ellen’s mother, she’s big and thick and has a firm grip. He smiles at me.
