I don't want to be a heroic spirit

The light reflected in people's eyes is like a road paved by stars, leading to a distant and dazzling future.

…………

The Demon King was defeated.

This news swept across human countries like an avalanche.

The Demon King has a special ability to strengthen monsters. Because the Demon King was defeated, monsters all over the world were weakened to a certain extent.

Although the Demon King's daughter is still alive and may become the next Demon King in the future, those things have nothing to do with Nero.

Because...

"Let's hold the Nero Festival!"

As a brave man who defeated the Demon King, Nero declared to the world.

"I am a brave man who defeated the Demon King and brought peace to this world! So, um! It's not too much to hold a celebration in my name? And it will be held every year in the future! And let people from all countries in the world celebrate it! The utmost luxury and joy!"

The Nero Festival is also a traditional event in Chaldea.

The Nero Festival was held only twice in history, because Nero committed suicide before the third Nero Festival. Perhaps it was to follow the setting, the Nero Festival in Chaldea was also held only twice, and then Gilgamesh took over the Nero Festival, and then it was taken away by Ishtar. Since then, various XX festivals have appeared in Chaldea.

"The death of the devil is good news for the whole world. If so, the Nero Festival I am holding should also be a celebration that gathers all the people in the world! It should be a time of unprecedented and unparalleled applause!"

"Hmm! Of course, I will also attend the Nero Festival. After all, when it comes to celebrations, I will think of me! When it comes to heroes, I will think of me! When it comes to beauty, I will think of me! Because I am such a lovely girl!"

"Hmm! Please forgive me for being too excited! I can't wait to share this joy like the spring sun with everyone. I believe everyone is looking forward to it as much as I am, right? Don't run to the window and shout out in anticipation like me, and don't spill the coffee in the cup in excitement. Just lie in bed and wait for tomorrow!"

Chapter 358: Give a wholehearted blessing to this beautiful world

The Nero Festival was held for three full days.

Very smoothly.

Nero entrusted many projects of the festival to the Eris Church and the Axis Church. Eris holds the Eris Festival every year and has experience in this regard, and Aqua always calls herself the goddess of the festival, so the Axis Church also likes to hold festivals.

Letting the two churches compete with each other can also make the Nero Festival more lively.

Of course, the Nero Festival is different from ordinary festivals, and naturally it is indispensable to the traditional program of Rome - competition.

In the crowded and eye-catching arena, adventurers who are very confident in their abilities will fight with monsters captured in advance and show their strength in front of the audience.

In order to build this Roman arena in the shortest time, Nero also went to the Red Demon Village to ask the Red Demons for help. These Red Demons can rebuild the village in just half a day after it is destroyed, and their construction ability is extraordinary.

People shared their joy at this festival, and smiles were on everyone's faces. They all looked forward to a future without the threat of the Demon King.

Happy times always pass quickly, and always slip away without people noticing.

The Nero Festival has finally reached its final stage.

There is no doubt, it is natural, and it is within reason.

The final stage is Nero's passionate singing.

In order to let more people hear her singing, Nero used the special magic prop she bought from Wiz's prop shop before, which is the magic prop that can transmit the sound to a far place but everyone nearby has to hear it.

The most terrifying thing about this magic prop is that it does not simply amplify the volume, but directly transmits the sound to the brains of everyone nearby, so you can't make yourself deaf by blocking your ears.

Vanir originally thought that he had destroyed all the magic props... Yes, he did not choose to return or destroy them directly. He deeply understood the terribleness of this magic prop and was unwilling to let it stay in any corner of the world.

In the end, Vanir still made a mistake.

Wiz believed that this magic prop must be useful, so he hid part of it behind Vanir's back, and then sold these things to Nero, who used them in the Nero Festival.

After scolding Wiz, Vanir had the foresight to return to hell, which saved him.

But the others were not so lucky. They were still looking forward to the hero's singing without knowing it.

This expectation lasted until the moment Nero opened his mouth.

Destroying a kingdom... This feat that even the devil could not do, in a sense, Nero accomplished it.

Almost everyone who heard Nero's singing fainted.

…………

Early morning.

The tranquility inherited from the night has not left, and dewdrops are still on the leaves, ready to drip.

Three days of joy are as short as a dream. When you wake up from the dream, life will continue and the road will continue.

Step up and up, up and up.

At the end of the stairs, push open the door...

Subconsciously raising her hand to cover her eyes that were stung by the sudden sunlight, Alice looked for the figure.

It wasn't hard to find. The figure, as bright red as a flame and as vibrant as a rose, was sitting on the armrest.

The morning light was draped over her like a veil, and her hair, blown by the breeze, shone like the sun.

A few birds flapped their wings and landed gently on her shoulders, legs, and hands.

Chasing light is the common instinct of all living things. I guess these birds were also attracted by her, right?

Just like me, just like Youyou, just like everyone around her...

A peaceful and warm smile appeared on her face, making it difficult to look away from her.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the breathtakingly beautiful scenery appeared in front of Alice, making it hard to destroy this beautiful scenery.

The most beautiful and tangible painting in the world is probably just like this.

Slightly turning her head, the other party looked over here.

As the hair swayed slightly, an extremely stunning and bright smile bloomed on the other party's face.

"You are here, Alice."

The birds gathered here all flew up, and the sound of their wings flapping in the air echoed endlessly.

Alice lowered her head apologetically, as if she felt guilty for scaring the birds away.

"I'm sorry, Sister Nero..."

"Why are you sorry?"

Nero's eyelids drooped slightly, "Since you are a royal family, it is natural for you to have the domineering power to scare away the birds, right? Hmm!"

Nero's emerald eyes clearly reflected Alice who was walking towards this side.

"Did you have fun? The Nero Festival hosted by Yu."

"Yeah, I was very happy. Mr. Kazuma opened a very good restaurant and asked Huihui and Lalatina to help. There are many dishes I have never seen before. They taste very good. Mr. Kazuma said that they are all dishes from his hometown."

"It's a pity that Claire and Rain are very busy. It seems that there is a lot of work to do to organize the Nero Festival. They can't play with us."

"Youyou and I went to many places, especially the arena where Sister Nero was. Sister Nero built such a large arena in just a few days. It's amazing."

Alice kept sharing interesting stories about this period with Nero, and Nero was a patient listener, which can be said to be one of her best things.

People are always reminiscing about the past.

It's not because the past was so beautiful, but because the beauty of the past is difficult to reproduce.

A person's memory constitutes the whole of a person. It is a treasure that belongs to one person alone. Life is a process of constantly picking up and losing these treasures.

That's right, it's impossible to hold this precious thing in your hands forever.

"Sister Nero..."

Under Nero's gaze, Alice suddenly spoke.

With uneasiness and fear.

"Are you... leaving?"

Nero is not from this world.

When Alice first met Nero, she learned this from him.

That day, Nero fell from the sky, shining like a meteor that cut through the night sky.

Suddenly broke into her life.

She was a traveler passing through here, and this was not her destination.

Even if she deliberately didn't think about this while getting along with him, the fact that "I will eventually say goodbye to Sister Nero" would not change.

Nero didn't show any surprise, as if he had known Alice would ask this question.

However, she still slightly shifted her gaze.

It was really too difficult to say such words in the face of that kind of eyes...

"Yes."

This was something that had been decided long ago.

"... Then... will you come back?"

Who can say for sure about the future?

However, facing that distressing expression, Nero's mouth moved by itself.

"I will."

Ah, I made another promise.

I didn't even know the next stop of the journey, but I still had to make such an irresponsible promise.

Really... I am becoming less and less like myself.

After hearing Nero's promise, Alice was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and her hair covered her eyes.

When she raised her head again, her eyes were full of water in the golden sunlight.

Then, a smile brighter than the sun appeared on her face.

"I... will work hard to become a dazzling person like Sister Nero and become an excellent royal family."

"When Sister Nero comes back... I will definitely let Sister Nero see a better me."

It was as if responding to Nero's promise.

Alice also made her own promise.

"Then... I will give thunderous applause to your growth."

In this way, Nero and Alice said goodbye successfully.

But after that, Nero did not say goodbye to Youyou and others.

In this world, she only told Alice that she was a traveler from another world.

For others, she was only away for a month.

... Provided that she did not die in any world.

Although the Suqing world is a funny world, it is still quite complicated because of the existence of gods and demons.

One of the three lives was lost, and everyone in Chaldea helped him twice.

I have been taken care of by others...

Looking far to the east, I can see the rising sun.

"Is this... the sunrise I didn't see at that time?"

Looking at the sunrise, Nero was in a trance.

"My teacher, I have really come to a faraway place, a place that no one can reach."

"The sunset can no longer restrain me, and only the infinitely extended sky remains."

The tranquility inherited from the night disappeared, the birds bid farewell with their songs, and the wind sent blessings to the distance.

No one knows where the next stop is, and can only continue to move forward with anxiety and expectation.

The ending of a story is always connected to the beginning of a new story.
