Isekai Taneuma

After a night of commotion, the children's laughter returned to the orphanage.The people of the government city who had taken refuge here began to return home one by one, and the city was trying to regain its daily routine.

They saw the power of the brave men that they would receive, and were informed of the weight of the responsibility that lay on their shoulders, and began to wonder whether it was okay to leave it as it was, but nobody could come to a conclusion.

You can be happy if you have the strength.Everyone thinks so, so they make an effort.But no one can imagine how the power beyond the Demon King affects just humans.Everyone is much better off running away than standing up to it.

There were people gathered in the multi-purpose room of the orphanage.Permel, Diogenes, Claire Primrose… Father Bell offers Waltstein, Luna Dewey, Lucy, Meatier, and rooms.Such a member broke one of the other brave men, surrounding Jeanne with a serious face.

Bringing back Feng, who was struck by guilt, Jeanne decided to gather the people involved and tell him what was happening to him, saying that he could not hide anything for this period.Because she already knew everything from her old buddy Sofia.

The inhabitants of this world are actually influenced by Rasha, the four-pillar god, and the more fightable they are, the more susceptible they are to it.Because of this, the demon tribes kill each other and become a race that produces even stronger individuals, but even humans and priests, if they acquire power beyond the demon king, Rasha will try to create a demon king across the tribes.

"The identity of the demon king 300 years ago was the true Sophia who was demonized under the influence of Rasha.But now that the Demon King was defeated by the Hero, the Hero began to be influenced by Rasha.The heroes then disappeared, but the Empire hid the fact and drove away the descendants of the heroes with the Devil's genes.I was afraid there might be a new demon king among them. "

Freezing occurs indoors. They didn't seem to believe Jeanne's story right away, but they had to be convinced that it was the highest secret of the Empire.The war between the Empire and the brave lasted too long in vain.Damn it, I thought Feng appeared and it was over in an instant, so I had to think that there was something else.

However, for some reason, Ser Hermes, who seemed so calm, did not think that he had actually been under attack for four or six hours, and the two priests looked back at their actions and asked bluishly.

"Brave Jeanne, is that inevitable?Would it be cured if I abandoned my duties and recovered now? "

Jeanne shook her head.

"Maybe not. It's not like sickness or anything.Hi, it seems that when demonization begins, the desire for superiority becomes stronger and more aggressive.Originally, the demon tribe was a species that became inferior to the priests and beasts, so it seems to have a strong desire to be superior to others.

In order to satisfy the sense of superiority, the demon race attacked and killed others, devouring their corpses and taking their traits.In this way, the winners become stronger and stronger, and eventually a demon king is born that no one can win.

The system that produces the demon king itself is Rasha... that is, the demon race.Systems are inevitable because they use the emotions that humans originally have.Doesn't anyone deserve to be somewhat better than others? "

As long as we don't lose that desire, there's no way out of this system at the moment.The two priests who heard it were depressed.Looking at them sideways, Lucy asked strangely.

"But if such a system exists, wouldn't it be strange for humanity to be destroyed by the Devil King?And on a planet where humans are gone, even demon kings can't survive, and someday everything will disappear. "

Jeanne nodded lightly.

"Yes, so 300 years ago, this planet didn't almost perish.At that time, something went wrong, but I don't know what will happen next.It's just that this planet was before the demon king destroyed it. "

"Ah, ahh... is that so?"

"Originally, organisms are things that adapt to the environment to survive.But happiness or misfortune, humans have acquired so much power that they can change the environment.That's why it's now possible to make such a futile evolution of the "survival of the strong".And someone opened the Pandora's box.

It must be Rasha's fault that the priests who are supposed to be rational are so pressurized and smell human in this world.A priest is stronger than a human being and more susceptible to that influence.The caligula that ran out of food took up its traits because they ate the demons in Neuroi, and the tag of reason fell off.

But Sofia wouldn't have done that.She's had a strong desire for superiority since one time, and she's been frustrated for the last few years anyway.I wonder why I can't stand my desires so much... one day, it finally exploded.

White could be like that anyway.But compared to Sofia, he's still calm, and he's not at that stage.So right away, we'd better go find a way to stop the influence of Rasha... because of his sense of duty, he can't quit Lord Hermes. "

After hearing Jeanne's words, Luna was now pale.

"It must be my fault... Sir Hermes was sacrificed to protect my baby."

"No, he's the one who made the decision, so it's not your fault.Your baby is also a child of our people.If I were in the same position, I would have done the same thing with him. "

Jeanne's words of consolation calmed Luna slightly, but the guilt didn't disappear.She felt painful about how much help she needed from her surroundings to have and raise a child.

"Jeanne, may I ask you a question?"

Meatier raised her hand to break the silence.When Jeanne urged her to come,

"I remember listening to what I just said, but when I met Feng before, it felt strange.I mean, it was an unusual appetite, but I've been eating beyond the limits of humans.I was just wondering where I was physically inside... and now I wonder if this was the effect of demonization? "

Demons try to gain their traits by eating others.She would like to say whether Feng's abnormal appetite was caused by it.But Jeanne shook her head.

"No, I'm sure it was the effect of demonization, but I think it was probably the turning of lust into appetite."

"... lust?"

"The demon race kills and eats homosexuals, and the heterosexual tries to leave genes behind.He must have felt a strong lust when he stood in front of you, but he suppressed it with the patience he had, so it appeared in a different form.

Since human desire is originally the instinct of living creatures, sexual desire and appetite, as well as approval desire to assume that they are special, are all connected at their roots.Some people get overwhelmed with stress at work, right? That's what it is.

Sophia said she was unusually hungry before she became a demon king.At that time, I was always upset, so I thought I'd get hungry if I got angry.... "

After hearing Jeanne's words, Luna and Claire nodded that there was a verse that came to mind.

"That said... when I met Lord Hermes, he was always hungry."

"If I may say so... I was just inviting Sir Hermes to dinner.Normally, to attract his interest, he would have avoided a meal had he been turned down once... and repeated the same thing over and over. "

Jeanne and Meatier joined in to see what happened in front of them.In that case, Lucy was alone.

"Um... I didn't do that?"

"Maybe that's because he didn't have that much sexual desire for you...?"

"Ugh... I'm feeling kind of stupid."

"Well, maybe it's because I was always fighting when I met him.I'm sure that's what happened to Alice.That's why, while everyone else was avoided, she was the only one left next to me... and that's why I became a victim this time... "

The awkward silence envelops the area.Claire held her head and moaned to break the atmosphere.

"Ah! So all the sexual approaches were counterproductive!?And yet, I've been hunting down the disgusting Ser Hermes for a long time, almost pushing him one more time. "

"Yes, you're wrong. Reflect." "Absolutely nothing."

The priests relentlessly clatter.

"But you didn't stop either!I thought you were cheering me on. "

"Hmm... I just wanted to be the slightest way out of Lord Hermes' stress."

"How to say it! How to say it!?"

Jeanne laughed bitterly at the three, but said in a voice of regret.

"That's why I'm the same.I wanted him to love me... because I knew the truth.But... no one can stop you from liking people. "

Her words were echoed by a group of women who thought of them.Waltstein, who was silently listening to the conversation in the atmosphere that was as serious as the whole night, thought it was ridiculous in the middle of the night that he might be in bad spirits.

"So... where is the general now?"

The infirmary.

What?

"I'm waiting for Alice to wake up.Anyway, if you don't apologize first, it won't start. "

Waltstein said it wasn't bad, but he kept quiet after all.Unlike myself, these rituals are necessary for young people who are not yet dirty.

"Yes... the infirmary."

Instead, Lucy stood up as Waltstein silenced.What happened to her from everyone there?in the sight of

"I just need to make sure."

So he left the room.

I heard the children in the orphanage laughing while they were playing.

When I was young, I always envied the happy voices of my neighbors.

Having decided to be Luna's servant since she was born, she had no experience playing outside with children of her age.Luna was everything to her, and she grew up being told she didn't need anything else, so I thought that was natural.The children here would have been abandoned by their parents and had a hard time flowing all the way here, but now they're laughing like that, so she thought she was jealous.

When the blurred head woke up, I smelled the disinfectant and my nose became swollen.Alice woke up on a ceiling she had never seen before and a bed surrounded by pure white curtains.

Didn't know why she was here, she woke up trying to find out where it was.However, at that moment, there was a tingling pain all over my body and I could hardly move it.

What the hell is going on?When she was in trouble in her bed, the owner of the room, who noticed the signs, made a rattling sound.

"Are you awake?"

When the woman approached Alice, whose eyes were twitching on the bed, she turned her hand around her back and woke her up, then told her to see the flames of candles she had.She keeps the candle close and away.

"Yeah... that's fine. How are you feeling?Do you have nausea? "

"No... what is this place? Why am I here?"

"This is the infirmary in the orphanage.You were brought in at dawn... don't you remember? "

"How to dawn...?"

Alice is twisting her neck.Astarte wondered if she was about to forget it in shock, and felt a little bit of exploration.

"... brought to me by Ser Hermes."

"To the brave one....? Ah"

Alice hastily touched her body with both hands to see if she was injured, as if she remembered what happened yesterday.By the way, there were scratches, but they were taken care of properly, and now there seems to be nothing wrong.Around the lower abdomen... I felt pain around the base of my feet, but I wonder if that's why my body didn't move through it.

Aware of that, her face became red as she glanced at it.Astarte thought it was because of the brutal insult, but it didn't seem surprising.

Um, did the brave man return to duty?

"No, the city is like that, and you won't be able to work today."

"So where are you going now? I have to go and give it to you."

"Ha...? Are you going to see him?"

Huh? Yes.

"Aren't you scared?"

"Scared...? Why?"

Alice stared at Astarte with a jiotong expression.As she stared at her innocent eyes, she began to feel like she was doing something bad, and she was distracted from her sight even though nothing was wrong.

Apparently, this girl does not resent the man who brutalized herself.Perhaps it would be better for both of us to meet early... Astarte left the door open and left the infirmary.

After a while, the butt and the door closed, and the footsteps approached.As Alice gazed blurrily at the sound, a bluish-faced phoenix appeared along with the female doctor who had just left the curtain.

The moment I saw her face, Alice's heart jumped out and her face became hot enough to catch fire.Aware of that, she became incredibly embarrassed and couldn't see his face straight.

When she lifted the futon on her lap until her face was half hidden, she lay down on the bed with her eyes open and turned to them.The reddish face is red to the ears, and the eyes are also bright red.

Astarte, who saw him, regretted that it was still too early to meet him, but it was no longer a festival.She told Feng next to her that it would be better to come out again, but one step ahead of her, he lowered his head toward Alice, who was lying in bed.

"I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry!"

Alice, who hid in the futon because of the embarrassment, listened to that, right?I slipped my neck out of the futon.Feng did not notice such Alice's expression, as if she had been sentenced to death as usual, making a beak under her eyes and looking pale.

"No matter how much I've been drinking, I've done something you can't get back. [M]I can't say forgive me, and I don't think it's a problem to apologize.I don't know how to heal the wounds I've put on your mind.I think it's a really bad thing to do.I don't want to see your face either.But at least let me apologize.I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I beg your pardon, but I'll do whatever it takes to get you back to your daily routine, so please... please... I want you to feel better again. "

Feng lowered his head with a distorted expression and looked straight at the infirmary floor.As Alice lay down looking at his brain heaven, she wondered why this man was lowering his head to himself.

"I'm going to disappear from front of you, so I want you to live quietly with my daughter again.Of course, I can manage her life and that of her children.That's why I want you to forget what you've done to me and go back to your life.If you can walk your life, I'll really do anything.I'm really sorry.... "

Why would I say such a thing?The moment Alice heard the words, she thought it was not a time for embarrassment.He says he disappears from her front.She jumped up the duvet she was wearing and got up again to sit on the bed.At that moment, I felt dull pain in my lower abdomen, but I couldn't care less about it anymore.

"Um, look up, brave man."

"No... please forgive me like this.I had no choice but to be resented by you. [M] I'm sorry. "

Alice pushed Feng's shoulders down against her many times, forcing her to raise her face.But his body was not scratched, and he remained staring at the ground.Alice looked at his brain like that bewildered.

"Um... I don't resent you at all."

"... eh?"

"And why would a great man like you bow your head to me?"

"Why...?"

Feng finally raised his face to the question.Having seen her face for a long time, she looked really surprised and didn't know what it was.Actually, it was.She couldn't understand why he was apologizing so painfully.

"Um, well... what the brave man did to me hurt so much that I was scared.But in my own position, I was prepared that that might happen someday.So suddenly, I thought I had no choice. "

"No, that's why you can't, right? I used my position to force you to rape me....."

"No, that's why!"

Alice told him to erase his words.

"I was born to be a servant of my daughter.It's been decided since before I was born, and that's not why I was dissatisfied.There were many other servants in the same situation at home, and we grew up in absolute obedience to our masters, who told us not to hold our own opinions.

However, some of the nobles were terrible, and others used their servants as sex talkers.Some people bring up the relationship between the aristocracy and others, whimsical about people like us, who are about to have an abortion because their family name is wounded.That was obvious.

I served my daughter, but there are others who cannot disobey her.That's how the lady herself gave birth to the baby... and there were many of us who treated her like a tool.That's why I thought vaguely that something like that might happen to me when I was old.

So when I asked for the help of the brave in the Imperial Capital, I thought I would eventually dedicate myself to you.When you called me, I was always ready to give up this body.I mean, you don't think there are people who don't have any plans to help others.

And yet you've helped us without selfishness and always cared.How can you be so good?I thought you were helping not only us, but also people in need and orphans abandoned by their parents for free.

Oh, I was really surprised to see someone like this.And I see. I'm sure he'll never ask us for anything again.

That's why I wanted to repay you.I wanted to serve you and help you.I like you more than you think.I won't suddenly hate what you've done to me. "

Feng, I can't believe the other person who has sinned will forgive me... let alone say that he likes such a thing. I can't believe it.He wondered if that was what she meant by the difference between the two positions.

"But... I've missed your expectations."

"No, my yearning for the brave hasn't changed anything."

"Why..."

"Why... have you worked so hard until now?"

As the words burst into his chest, his emotions could not help but shake and his vision could not stop seeping.

"I've been watching you ever since I wanted to help you.I've been watching you endure the pain and work hard for everyone.I know how much it cost me to say that the hero wasn't normal at that time, or that it was because of the alcohol. "

Feng couldn't understand why he was being so gentle from the person he hurt.However, he felt like he was watching magic when the worst regrets in his life were resolved instantly in her words.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I'm sorry, so... please forgive me"

Tears were pouring out from my eyes, and my apologies couldn't stop coming out of my mouth.But it contained words to ask for forgiveness, which had never come out before.Alice held his hand like that.

"Um... don't cry anymore.I just failed a little bit. "

"Sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

"But I'm glad. I thought you hated me because I've been avoided forever."

When Alice joked and said such a word to Feng, she didn't want him to hate her. He raised his face happily.

"That's not true. I never thought I hated you."

"But you didn't even look at me."

"That's...."

Because of the influence of demonization... when I was about to say that, Feng noticed the changes that were happening to him.

Now Alice is holding my hand tightly.Her face was right in front of her and she seemed to stick.Had she done this before, she would have suffered unbearable pain... and now even if she was so close, her lust would not have been stimulated if she hadn't been hungry or come.

Given the situation, I understand that it is not the case that you feel that way.But that's the way it has always been.The effects of demonization were constantly attacking him, even in the middle of serious discussions.But why don't you feel it now...?

It was such a time of confusion about my changes.Concom... and the door was knocked, and someone came into the infirmary.From the timing, he was probably watching the inside on the other side of the door.

"Whoa, whoa! Am I interrupting?"

Ransacks... Lucy came in with a cough out of her bad ass.As Feng wiped away her tears, she continued to say to him that she was ashamed of him.

"Er... I'm sorry to interrupt, Feng-kun, may I have a moment?"

"... what is it?"

"I'm going straight to the point, Feng-kun... how do you feel now?"

I was going to say that it would be worse... but I soon realized what Feng was saying.Speaking of how it feels right now, it wasn't that bad.

At that time, the effects of demonization that haunted him so far were gone.
