Instant Messiah

As Abyss proceeded with one or two step doors together, the sun was plugging through the high windows so that even a kind of majesty could be felt there.

In that moment of glare, the words of an earlier gallon cross the back of Abyss's brain only for a moment.

'... there's a guy over there waiting to prove how full of deception the joke of saving all humans...'

Was this referring to the Demon King?

... No, that's crazy. Could Gallon Vermillion, who is known for his loyalty, describe his master as' he 'or something like that?

... just one person.

In Abyss's memory, there was only one person who might fall under that condition. I have heard from other apostles many times before, the man.

But I also wanted that prediction to go away if I could. Alternatively, I wanted it to be an act threatened by the Demons.

At Tiamaria, having had several conversations, he did feel he was a frigid person, though.

... Behind a man's eyes, so lonely that there was nothing he could do... because he knew it, but he felt something like loneliness.

... but expectations were betrayed. The fact that he betrayed humanity was now also made clear to Abyss's eyes.

Remaining dignified on the throne, oh, that beauty, that magic, for sure.

White hair, white skin, pure white costume. In it, only the eyes are red as blood.

That's the Demon King, Christella Vara Detra.

And the man standing beside it.

I don't have enough features in my body to blink my eyes.

However, there will never be worn by humans, under fur covered jackets, too blatant and even seemingly permeable to malice, the costume of a Sarian priest.

No, body decoration doesn't matter. To determine that the man is the man, just look him in the eye and you'll see.

Starch, turbid, rotten everywhere. It's filthier than it once was when we met. It seems so madly painted that we can't hide it or anything.

"... how did you get your face in front of me in such a dignified place... have you reopened that far? Nine, I can't believe this is where I'm going to see you. I can't believe that time... I didn't imagine that then!

To Abyss's words with his voice trembling with anger, Nine replies softly, misguided.

"... in order, you're wrong, Mr. Avis. It's not a good idea to leave His Majesty alone."

Nine, who said so and set his sights on Abyss, goes on to say even more.

"Keep your heads down, you bandits who use their children as negotiating tools. This is our Majesty's territory, first of all," Thank you for inviting me, "right? … repeat it."

"Good, Nine. I'm not going to take the time with crappy etiquette. For the rest of our lives, no matter what Diabolo's history, how valuable an opportunity it is for these people to be here?

Abyss thanked the Demon King for his words and saw Nine step back.

Finally, it finally got here, and I had to admit the fact that humans have things to do with the Demons.

And such a presence could not have been a subject to be forgiven for Avis Helen.

"Well done, silly humans. This is the first time I've officially revealed myself before you. I'll give you a name."

Rising from the throne, Cristella put her hand on her chest, slightly raising her mouth angle and opening her mouth.

"As the head of those who still live in Diabolo, he is Kristera Vara Detra, the leading ally of Agusta. Today will be a day to remember for us, or for you."

"... I am Abyss Helen, apostle and twelfth in the Order of Salia. And next door..."

"I'm Sally. Nice to meet you, Demon King. I'm sick and tired of introducing myself, but I'm pretty sure this is gonna be an important day for me."

"Hmm."

Cristella nods one thing and slowly descends from the high prepared throne. Behind it, Nine followed the cat's back.

Abyss opens his mouth without breaking his guard, no matter how humiliating he may be.

"Let's get straight to it. We ask you to surrender."

"... what?

I heard an unexpected word, and as I said, Cristella stopped with a slight frown.

And Sally, next door, looked up at Abyss's face unexpectedly saying she hadn't heard that either.

Abyss continues, looking straight at Cristella.

"I know that as you live, you don't necessarily have to prey on humans. I find it difficult for us to coexist, regardless of past historical history"

"... go on"

"But we don't want any more of each other's blood to spill by accident. Indeed, this time, we used cowardly means to come into contact with you. But it also hates unhelpful combat, so why?"

"... Ah, Master Abyss. The priests didn't say such a thing..."

"'Blood is the root of life given by God'. This is stated in our scriptures. And I myself began to think it would apply to the Demons. Whether it's ours or yours, you shouldn't be scorned. … life given by God is not something to waste, but mercy and mutual respect."

"... Hmm, the journey. If so, you, personally, need to hope for no more contention. But how do you prove that will is true? What makes you think you can't break that promise, a human messenger?

"Show with this life. If you do not attack any more humans, return to Agusta the lands, crops and various possessions that you have plundered everywhere, and live without leaving this land, I will do my utmost to preserve the peace of your lives."

"... Nine. What do you say, do you think that man's words are worthy of trust?

Suddenly told the story by the Demon King, Nine deliberately pointed to himself and said, "Me?," asks Cristella. With the consent of the Demon King, he scratched his head several times, "Uh, may I answer," and Nine, with forgiveness, replies to the words of the Demon King.

"Dear Chris. Mr. Abyss is not lying."

The words surprised Abyss at the time.

"Hmm. What's the basis for that?

"As His Majesty knows, I'm good at seeing the nature of people. He's not lying. As for that, if I may imitate his words, I will put my life at risk."

Listening to those two conversations, both Abyss and Sally accidentally forgot the reality.

"... Dear Abyss. Hey, this... what do you mean"

"... I didn't know I could talk this far either... no, although that statement was definitely my discretion"

"I don't mind. I'll follow you. But that's all."

Abyss did speak in good faith.

As a messenger, it is not permissible to utter words other than the given will. But in view of his faith in the teachings of Sarianism, sinners are forgiven if they repent. And if an unarmed man falls at his feet, he is not forgiven, such as to kill him.

If the Demons were to live up to what he had said, he was serious about keeping that promise.

Even as, for example, turning the upper echelons of the denomination against the enemy.

Even if the demons were their own enemies.

He didn't intend to hesitate to live as a sword for it in order to forgive everything and create a world where everything is forgiven.

... But Avis' hope, which I saw for a moment, was trampled by Nine's continued words.

"If you put it the other way around, that's all. He's not lying, but I'm sure his promise will never be fulfilled."

"Hey, what is it! Nine, you doubt me!

"No, Mr. Abyss. I said," You're not lying. "

"Then why!

"It's decided. Your will is not the totality of mankind. Your readiness does not deter malice towards all demons and beasts of humanity. That's one thing first."

"... I am here as a messenger! Take responsibility for what you say!

"There's something here that I can take responsibility for with one of your necks, it's like shit. Why is the lives of all innocent people at stake? How about your life and the lives of all of us, on the scale? Are you gonna tell me you're hanging? I was taught in my childhood that life is more important than anything else, but our lives are treated very lightly by Sarians."

"Dian Man Gao?" and so on. Continuing Nine's words, Cristella also opens her mouth.

"That's not all. How dare you shamelessly tell Agusta to pull us all in? You think a decent crop will grow on this land? Or are you just ignorant? Don't you even know that your compatriots, Indira's money-keepers, are selling wheat here for an extrajudicial price? If we depend on all our food there, we won't last long. … or can you take responsibility for forming healthy deals between us and humans? … you will need enough capital to buy one country, but do you have that much?"

That was the second, and Nine tightened the Demon King's words.

"… but if you say that this demand cannot be met"

To Abyss, who cut the word, dare Nine to supplement the deadly end lurking behind it.

"Here, take His Majesty's neck?

"Originally, that's our role. If I could... No, I want it to be."

"... Shall I tell you one thing? It's called blackmail."

"Blackmail?

"Because that. It's an opinion that's too convenient for humans. Are you convinced that we did the same to you? If you're going to poke your fangs at the kids' necks and surrender, I'll keep them alive. Drop all weapons and follow our lives. You don't believe me, do you? Can you swallow what the devils say... come on"

"Ki, you... you must be human! That's what you say when you can't trust human words!

"Isn't that obvious? I'm a human, you're a human being. The number of husbands in the shop who trusted the sweet words of humans and lost their necks in ancient times and now... do you have any idea?

"Nine, you! You think I'm lying to you?

"It's awful. Don't make me tell you so many times, you're not lying. I see that now. Since humans are powerful creatures in a group, don't you bother to tell them that there's no point in each of you being uptight? Or you, this apostle, the twelfth, say this, so it's normal for us all to obey you. Why do you think that?

Still, Nine continued his long and wide tongue. With eyes that say I despise my heart.

"... Hey, Mr. Abyss? You're right... we're allowed to do this because we're right, because we're right, and then the world will be peaceful... that's what you're thinking."

"You are willing to make fun of Master Abyss!?

Nine returns cold against Sally, whose patience has reached its limit.

"I know you're making fun of me. If you're bringing a story like this, it's in the opposite order. If you're serious about that, you should convince him to come up first. Even a kid would understand that."

Cristella, who looked sideways at Nine saying so, broke the silence.

"... no more arguments are wasted. Unexpectedly... I really took an unexpectedly useless time..."

... unfortunately. Really unfortunately, Cristella sighed.

"Wait, Christella! I mean it...!

"In the first place. After all, you're looking down on us. I'll show you mercy, so shake your tail... some warm (wet) dreamer. You were still right about the rest of the thought. Man is a creature to destroy."

"Nine! Why don't I say something from you too! Even you... Even you, you must be human!

"I'm human. That's why you're more about humans than everyone else in Diabolo, hey, hey, I know. So when they sold me to Diabolo, I asked Chris for it. Now get rid of these guys, please, from the world. Because..."

... human beings didn't save me.

Yes, Nine shrugged.

Nine thinks.

Human filth, cruelty. Greed to push beauty to the detriment of profit. Word when I won a seat at Reel Marr, that's... he said it's the heart I can't even hide.

I know humans. I've been watching it. In the seven years I lived as a slave trader, there was only one beautiful person I found.

"Hey, Master Chris. Like I said, right? Human beings are such creatures. My convenience is the most important thing."

"Oh. We're the only ones who live in Holds"

"You don't need to rewrite the textbook. I was taught by Puria from the intelligence squad. As long as the humans are gone..."

"- This world, it will be peaceful. Come on, I'll call you, but good people. If it is righteousness and proclamation that will destroy us in the name of God -"

- From this world, let us destroy righteousness and doings.

That said, Cristella spreads her hands open and intercepts them.

With the mighty magic that overflowed just because she set up, Mr. Abyss, Sally and I made our expressions strong.

To them exactly now Chris would have looked like a monster named Demon King had stripped his fangs.

... but still in my eyes.

The feathers spread wide, and the magic combined with the appearance of a white costume.

About her, she looked as beautiful as an angel.
