Chapter 23: She laughs as if it’s normal.
Kira quickly realized that the girl who called herself Evelyn was indeed a saint.
No wonder. Her healing magic was so out of the ordinary.
No matter how good a healer you are, you can only use healing magic three times a day.
She didn’t hesitate to tell him that she could use it for as many days as she wanted. Seeing her actually using her healing magic to the fullest in front of him, Kira was convinced that his intuition was correct.
And when Cain led them to their destination, they met a man whose arm was about to be swallowed by the miasma…… Kira was prepared for one thing.
She would surely dispel the miasma and heal the man’s wounds.
With her power, she should be able to eliminate the miasma that covers this entire city in an instant.
At that time, if you are beside the…… No, if he is in this town, Kira will probably disappear with it as well.
In the first place, Kira is a demon.
He is incompatible with humans; and he is especially incompatible with his natural enemy, the saints. That’s something he knew from the beginning.
(I don’t mind being erased by you.).
Even though he knew this, Kira did not move from his spot.
However, Kira was not erased.
Even though she used magic, there was no physical abnormality or pain at all.
It was then that Kira finally realized what had happened.
Just as Kira had realized, she had also realized Kira’s true identity.
“Kira!”
It cut through his stagnant thoughts.
At the sound of his voice, Kira slowly raised his head from his prone position.
“… Cain?”
After being told by a girl named Europa that he was a “dangerous creature” Kira ran to a corner of the town of Shem.
He continued to run in the middle of nowhere and found himself near the entrance to the forest.
It was surprising that Cain, who was supposed to be a coward, came after Kira alone like this.
And for some reason, he wondered why he felt just a little disappointed and half-hearted.
Cain opened his mouth to say something that was difficult to say, though it may not have been evident on his face.
“Kira, you know…”
“…”
“Will Angel-oneesan stay there forever…?”
(Huh…?”)
Cain was staring in the direction of the forest.
Kira gasped.
No way, he thought, but… Somewhere in his heart, he was expecting it.
Behind him – Kira slowly turned around.
“Kira! Kira! Help me, Kira! !”
—there was a pair of arms shouting something in a muffled voice.
Kira was in awe. He couldn’t comprehend the scene in front of him.
In the meantime, her arms continued to flail vigorously as she cried out, “Kiraa!” and continue to be swept around with buzzing vigor.
Kira looked away in silence, then pointed in that direction and asked Cain.
“… What’s that?”
“As you can see, it’s Angel-oneesan’s arm.”
(I knew it…)
“We split up to look for Kira… I was looking for you in the town, and she was looking for you in the forest. She may have gotten bogged down along the way…”
Cain’s eyes moisten.
He didn’t know what was really going on, but he guessed that if she was that stubborn, she would have gotten stuck in a bottomless swamp.
“… She’s too loud. Let’s help her anyway.”
“I agree.”
Kira, now drained of his toxicity, decides to work with Cain to rescue the two screaming arms.
Cain grabbed her right hand as she flailed, and Kira grabbed her left.
Cain said, “Heave, ho!” and tried to pull her up, but she was trapped in the mud.
“H-Heavy…”
As soon as they both gasped at the same time, the arms flapped in a panic.
“No, I’m not! It’s not that I’m heavy, it’s that the mud is heavy! Really!”
“Do you want me to call someone for help……?”
“Cain-kun, I think you’re giving up too soon! But it might help us!”
Cain nodded at the words of the pair of arms and started running in the direction of the mansion.
Looking back, Kira grabbed both of his struggling arms whole and let out a breath.
He muttered in an almost hapless manner.
“… Why are you doing this?”
“It’s Kira’s fault!”
“!”
But Kira’s eyes widened as an unexpectedly strong response came from the bottom of the mire.
“Isn’t that because Kira suddenly ran away! I’ve been worried about you, you know! It’s Kira’s fault that I’m stuck in this bottomless swamp!”
“S-Sorry.”
He apologizes to the two screaming arms.
Then the muddy arm grabs Kira’s hand firmly.
“…… I forgive you. Kira’s helped me a lot so far.”
With those words…
Kira smiled wryly as he tried to say something.
“I’m a demon, remember?”
“Yes, that’s right. I know that.”
“And you’re a saint, right? That’s why we’re not…”
“I don’t care. Because Kira is Kira, right?”
He felt the strength in his hands grow stronger.
“You’re my dearest friend. Other than that, I don’t care about anything else.”
“…But.”
“Not only me but also Theodore-sama and Cain-kun have stated so. I’m sure Jackson-sama and the others will say the same thing.”
(No, they won’t….)
He can’t believe it, Kira thinks.
As if noticing the changes in Kira’s mind, the pair of arms laughed.
“Cain-kun, who was once attacked by a demon, said that he was not afraid of Kira-kun because he was Kira-kun. Hey, Kira, do you still not believe me?”
“…”
Kira couldn’t help but clench his teeth as something seemed to well up from behind his eyes.
“…I believe in you.”
Kira muttered in a small, shaky voice.
Then both arms nodded “Yes” in awfully gentle voices.
“But…… I want to apologize to Kira.”
“…Why?”
“So far, I’ve blown the miasma out of every corner. I was wondering if any of them might have been your parents, brothers, sisters, lovers, or friends…”
“No… I don’t think there are any.”
Kira shook his head.
He didn’t have any particular feelings about the demon race itself.
Both arms looked relieved, “I see.”
In fact, Kira thinks that these two arms are a bit… annoying as well as just a little bit lovely, as they are always concerned about such trivial matters.
“Speaking of which, that Europa person…”
“Europa-sama……. “I will kill myself for calling Evelyn-sama’s friend a dangerous creature.”And hung herself.”
“What! ?”
“Don’t worry, Theodore-sama was right there to help… Cough, cough, cough…”
Then both arms coughed anxiously. She might indeed be nearing her limit.
“Are you okay? Are you breathing?”
“Cough….. Yes, I think my life might be in a bit of danger.”
There was still no sign of Cain. It was going to take a while for help to arrive, and Kira was getting impatient.
“Hold on a minute. I’ll try to do this on my own. -Ugh, it’s too heavy.”
“Kira, take it easy!…… But you have to! I’m dying!”
“Heavy… Really heavy, very heavy…!”
“Ugh, you’re saying really heavy, very heavy! Theodore-sama said, I’m as light as a feather!”
“I’m pretty sure that’s flattery!”
Perhaps, Kira thought.
-I am a demon, but I was born with a heart like a human’s —maybe.
(To better understand Saint Evelyn?)
” Kira! Help me! Kira! I’m really going to die! I’m dying in the mud!”
(……I guess that’s not exactly true.)
Thinking about this, he let out a ragged breath.
“What are you doing in there?”
A commanding voice came from behind him, and Kira turned around fearfully.
There was a strong man standing there with a knight in tow.
