From Mightiest Hero to Demon King

Five days have passed since Kukuru arrived.

A good sunny afternoon, no work for Gallius today. I'm off.

I had errands to run instead.

Meet the Spirit Beast Lunatea, who lives deep in the woods.

A spiritual beast is a beast that has the same power as a spirit. Communication of will is possible, and twelve bodies are confirmed in the final forest. One of them was named Lunatea.

Terrios, the mayor of the town, and several representatives of the species regularly visit and discuss his habitat.

This time we were to take Gallius, the only human race, and Kukuru, who happened to be here, too.

Until Therios picked him up, Gallius was playing outside with Kukuru and Ao.

Kukuru throws a stick of wood at him. I caught a tree stick that spun and flew around in momentum, chasing Ao Shubi, about five metres in a big jump.

I shake my tail and come back fine.

"Mr. Ao is here."

Kukuru greets Ao with a full grin and strokes his body "Ok ok".

"I will protect you properly, and I will never do anything like no. I don't know if I can tell things too well... You're not just a wolf. It's growing fast these days."

I picked it up initially as small as a dog, but now it is a medium sized dog. In addition, features that I wasn't sure about were beginning to emerge.

Gallius leans closer to Ao and strokes his head. He hid in soft body hair and felt stiff in the forehead area.

"I thought you hit it somewhere at first, but it doesn't look painful. Maybe the horns have grown"

"Horn, is it? A species close to a wolf, a horn..."

When Kukuru twisted his neck, Ao licked that cheek with a pepper.

"Oh, hey, Mr. Ao, it's good to see you."

and a familiar voice sounds there.

"Hey, Gallius, you kept me waiting."

Old Orcs, Zepal. They come rocking the giant.

But Gallius slipped his neck. Because he's not the one waiting, he's the representative of the Orcs.

"Son of a bitch, you've done your hips. I don't know what else to do. I'm the understudy."

Zepal has previous experience representing the Oak tribe. He was also chosen for this role because he was close to Gallius.

"So good to see you today. And..."

I got a calm look sometime and lowered my gaze.

"And Master Kukuru. It's been a long time. You look great."

"Huh...? Ah, yes. Mr. Zepal is also suffering from a breathing disaster…"

Hmm? And Gallius frowned in surprise. Kukuru, who was full of energy, was swimming his eyes in confusion.

"What's wrong with you?

"Heh? Ah, no. The... Mr. Gallius knew Mr. Zepal."

"Oh. Occasionally, he's the old Orc who takes good care of me"

"Come on, don't treat me like a jerk."

Zepal laughs callously as he says.

Kukuru laughed back to see if he got caught up in it too.

"All you have to do is wait for Therios? By the way, Zepal, have you ever met a spiritual beast?

"Hmm? Yeah, once about two years ago. It was a greeting."

That's the man who's been in this town for a long time, I admire.

"That means you know what you look like. I haven't heard the details yet."

"No, I don't either."

"What...?

What about not knowing who you are even though you have met them? It was Kukuru who answered the question.

"Spirit beasts rarely show up. Especially since Mr. Lunatea, who makes the area his territory, is so shy that he can see it from behind the cave."

"But then you don't know if he's really a spiritual beast?

"Your voice, your voice, your way of talking is unique. It doesn't sound familiar to my ears, it sounds directly in my head."

The Spirit of self-proclaimed Holy Martial Arts, Elzanad, also recalls that it was just like that.

"I know what you're talking about, and I know what you're talking about. I didn't trust you. Oh, no."

In fact, I'm building a good coexistence relationship, so I guess there's no problem.

Terrios, the mayor of the town, came. Four of you. Come on, let's go, and before you do.

"Gallius, leave him alone."

Terrios points to a dagger unfinished on his hips. It's not iron off-the-shelf, it's Sylphide Dagger.

"Why? In the woods. Is that quite dangerous on the road?

"He's a tough guy around here. It would be nice to have a little something for protection, but with special effects, it makes me wary. You've never met before."

I see, and Gallius got Sylphide Dagger and went inside the house.

I don't have to worry about an empty nest in this town, but I'll keep it hidden in an empty pot just in case.

"Wah! Wah..."

And Ao ran and caught the kettle with his front leg rolling up.

I said something, but I don't know what the animals say.

"This guy is important. Keep an eye on them not to get stolen. And..."

Gallius could say by gently stroking Ao's head.

"You're not supposed to touch it, are you? Was there something dangerous before?

Previously, when Ao was playing with Sylphide Dagger, a wind blade suddenly popped up. Even in that sense, I guess it's still not just a wolf.

"Khun......"

While worried about Ao dripping his tail in loneliness, Gallius went out with them all -.

Elf's residential area.

Lilianea, who was doing administrative work at home, made a big stretch.

She is old enough to attend school, but she has the education she needs and is now engaged in the task of assisting her brother Miguel, a representative of the race.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!

"Hmm? Is this ringing... Ao?

Going outside, Ao was barking as expected.

"You were supposed to leave a message today, weren't you? You just skipped out and came to see me?

I laughed bitterly for a moment.

Something's wrong with Ao.

He flipped around, only turned his face and barked, a little farther away.

"What? You mean follow me?

If you think about it, Ao won't break his word. If you were ordered to leave a message, there must be a good reason to leave the house.

Something happened. Ao barked loudly to affirm it.

"Whoa, whoa!"

Keep going.

"Oh, wait a minute!

Lilianea had anxiety in her chest and chased Ao...

Ao looked back from time to time and stepped back to the Gallius house to lead Lilianea. When I enter the house, I crawl and catch a certain pot.

"Is there something in there?

I opened the fearful lid and was surprised.

"Sylphide Dagger, right...?

Until the end of the forest, it was something that protected us with Gallius more than once.

The Spirit Beast is vigilant and the story could get twisted if he had a weapon with special effects for the first time. I understood that's why I left it.

But...

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

When Lilianea took the dagger, Ao also barked to invite her out of the house.

He rushes after him and doubts his eyes on the next Ao's behavior.

We went into the woods.

Ao was hurt in the woods and had fallen. I never stepped in since Gallius picked me up......

"No way......"

Isn't there a danger looming on the Gallius and the others?

Lilianea ran, driven by such anxiety. Squeeze the dagger tightly in that hand...
