36 – Tears
“… ….”
After I brought it up, I momentarily wondered if I had made the wrong decision.
I actually said it almost impulsively, and I didn’t even think about the aftermath.
The decisive factor that made White think that way was none other than that.
“—Ah.”
…… It was Ashera’s distorted expression after hearing those words.
Her eyes slowly began to tremble with anxiety.
*****
-I plan to kill all 12 demon lords.
“… ….”
Recalling the words of her that his own disciple once heard.
Ashera began to shake her body once and for all.
…… The first time she heard it, she was overcome with a momentary heart-thumping sensation.
Her own disciple is going to kill all 12 demon lords, so why not say something that could be called arrogant?
‘…… No, no.’
Shera shook her head shallowly in denial of her thoughts.
A bitter look appeared on her face.
‘I don’t know why her disciple said that.’
To be honest, it wasn’t even that important right now.
…… What really matters is none other than that.
‘The 12 demon lords that the disciple mentioned would kill all of them.’
It was the fact that the one who occupied the throne was herself.
Ashera’s expression began to turn into despair in an instant.
I don’t know why she harbors so much hatred for the 12 demon lords.
But as I said, more important than that.
“… ….”
Maybe, maybe.
‘If I were included among the demon lords that my disciple swore to kill—’
─A possibility that flashes through my mind momentarily.
Ashera’s pupils turned into a dark light in an instant.
“…… It’s okay.”
With a shallow salivation, Ashera frowned.
From noble mtl dot com
…… You could say she was scared.
Yes, she herself was frightened.
Maybe, maybe.
She is a disciple who will not stop loving himself.
If you hate even yourself, who is called the ‘black demon king’, to the point where you want to kill yourself.
What the hell am I supposed to do?
What kind of reaction should I show?
…… What should I say to my disciple?
“… ….”
I tried to ignore it.
It was a possibility that came to my mind as soon as I heard his promise, but I’ve been intentionally ignoring it until now.
I hope not, in fact, I hope that he himself is excluded.
Even though I know it’s close to a futile hope, I still think about it that way.
I tried to take my eyes off the truth somehow.
…… The end result was this.
-The Dark Lord, Ashera.
-Isn’t that Master’s true identity?
“…… Ah.”
Ashera raised her voice and touched her forehead.
“…… Master?”
And at that point, White was also able to detect such an anomaly in her.
“…… Wait a minute, why are you doing that—”
A completely incomprehensible reaction.
Of course, I expected to be surprised to some extent, but this violent reaction far exceeded my expectations.
To see White blinking her eyes in such bewilderment.
“——Ah.”
Puff!
Shortly thereafter, Ashera reached the point where her slender body was helplessly destroyed.
“…… Asherah?”
And as if she couldn’t understand the sight for a moment, White stiffened her body in a daze.
“…… !”
But fortunately or not, I came to my senses before it was too late.
“…… Asherah!”
Towards the fallen Ashera, White hastily stretched out her hand.
*****
…… She hoped not to be seen.
That his true identity is, in fact, the black demon lord who is said to be the strongest among the 12 demon lords.
It was okay to be caught by someone else.
Whoever it was, no matter how he reacted to learning her true identity.
If you don’t care, it’s just something you don’t care about.
…… But.
If the target is not anyone else, but your most precious disciple.
I didn’t know the reason for that either, but if it’s for a disciple who has a deep hatred for the 12 demon kings.
…… I thought I shouldn’t be caught.
It was something I had to face someday, or a problem.
‘Ignore those possibilities with all my might, and hope that my ordinary yet sweet daily life with my disciple continues.’
He would just turn a blind eye to himself.
…… Not even stupid
To the point of being too stupid, too stupid.
I was to the point where I truly hated myself.
…… However.
If so.
Why?
This reality, in which even such thoughts turned white and were so intense that they were forgotten, hit their brains.
How the hell did it end up like this?
“Ah, ahahahaha.”
Ashera let out a hollow laugh, her body hanging down without her strength.
“Ashera…… ?”
Then White narrowed her brow and called her name.
“…… Did you know?”
“Yes?”
At the moment Ashera said, White couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Did you know that, Ra.
There was no subject for her, but based on her context, it must have been about her own hidden identity.
“That’s how it happened.”
That’s why White tried to explain with a little trouble.
“…… Ahahahaha. Really, I knew.”
“…… Asherah?”
At the sight of Ashera muttering in an unusual voice, White couldn’t continue.
Because I simply sensed a strange sense of heterogeneity in her voice?
…… Of course, there must be a reason for that.
It was none other than the cause that made White stop talking in the first place.
“… ….”
Tuk, tuduk.
“…… Ah, Asherah.”
…… She was the tear shed by her teacher, whom she valued more than anyone else.
Suddenly, at the sight of Ashera, who suddenly started to shed tears.
White began to roll her eyes around in embarrassment.
‘…… Uh, what should I do—’
…… That she sheds tears?
That master, that Asherah?
A situation she is experiencing for the first time, a fragile figure she is seeing for the first time.
It’s fair to say that White’s head was literally paralyzed.
I feel like I need to say something, I feel like I need to say something.
Her head just turned white, and she couldn’t do anything.
And at that point, still silently shed one or two tears.
“…… I didn’t want to get caught.”
With Ashera’s voice somehow subdued, she began to open her mouth again.
“Anyone is fine, so please don’t let your disciple find out.”
You said you’ve been thinking that way, and that you just wished that.
Ashera added that.
“…… That, what.”
White’s head was already paralyzed and was on the verge of exhaustion.
…… Now her own mentor, what the hell are you talking about?
What do you mean?
You didn’t want to get caught?
What do you mean?
His true identity, that is, the identity of the black demon king?
‘…… Why?’
White’s expression was colored with bewilderment and doubt.
Why did he want to go undetected?
Was it such an important issue that her own identity was a member of the 12 demon lords?
“… ….”
…… No, of course, if it’s important, you could say it’s a very important truth and secret.
‘That aside, why?’
Gently distorting that expression, White lightly bit her lip.
Yeah, leaving everything else aside.
Why, why?
You, while spitting out those words.
“…… It’s such a pity that you shed tears like this.”
“… ….”
The figure of White wiping away his own tears with a careful touch.
Ashera had to feel the emotion of tears for a moment.
…… Slowly and quietly.
A desperate light began to emerge over Ashera’s expression.
“…… Give.”
“Yes?”
Soon, in a very small voice, Ashera took her words off again.
As if very desperate, his expression was stained with sadness.
“…… Please do not hate me, disciple.”
“──.”
For the first time, Asherah revealed her own vulnerable parts to her White.
*****
‘…… Ah.’
After hearing that for the first time, her senses were overcome by only a momentary freeze of her brain.
But her own brilliance, she was able to quickly penetrate the meaning behind her words.
‘No way.’
White’s expression slowly began to harden.
-I plan to kill all 12 demon lords.
…… As she recalled her words he had once uttered herself, White covered her forehead with one of her palms.
“… ….”
White makes eye contact with Ashera, who keeps shedding tears of pity as she looks at herself.
Soon he began to break out in a cold sweat.
No way, no way.
My precious teacher, this very lovable girl.
…… Perhaps.
“…… I hate you.”
“Yes…… ?”
Showing a devastated smile to Ashera, who answered blankly, White slowly continued her words.
“It’s impossible, isn’t it? Again, you should know it well. Master too.”
“…… What are you saying.”
Ashera still weeps at White’s words.
“…… Therefore.”
And over White’s expression as he looked at Ashera, a light of anger slowly began to emerge.
But, of course, that anger wasn’t directed at her.
“So, that is impossible.”
With a gentle flash in the wall, White twisted her mouth.
“Either I hate you, or I hate you. Stop talking nonsense like that, Asherah.”
“Huh? Yes yes?”
I wonder if White was aware that his words were gradually becoming harsher.
From noble mtl dot com
‘…… Ha, I don’t know. Let it be whatever it is.’
“…… My, disciple?”
“… ….”
She just muttered her irresponsible words to herself, and White grabbed Ashera by the shoulder and pulled her towards himself.
“…… !”
Naturally, the other problems were momentarily forgotten, leading to Ashera blushing in anger.
“…… My, disciple-“
“Shut up, Ashera.”
“──!”
Ashera tried to get her words out, but her attempts were stopped by White’s hand, who immediately covered her own mouth.
‘What, what are you doing, this?’
She ended up in a situation where she had no choice but to ask just by looking at her eyes.
White’s expression as he looked down at Ashera slowly began to distort.
“The Black Demon King, Ashera.”
“…… !”
White puts Ashera’s hidden identity into her mouth once again.
Of course, Ashera’s expression was engulfed in anxiety in real time.
Her two eyes began to vibrate wildly with an uneasy look.
“…… The 12 Demon Kings, the strongest wizards. None of that matters.”
Then, holding her tighter, White calmly continued her words.
“I can’t tell you where it came from, but I know it all. Asherah.”
“… ….”
Still covering Ashera’s mouth with one of her hands, White began to mutter slowly.
“That means I know everything about how you came to be called the Dark Demon King, even the inside story.”
“…… !”
At that brief remark, Ashera was greatly startled and her eyes widened.
‘…… Do you know? All?’
Calmly looking down at Ashera, who seemed to be asking that question, White clicked her tongue once.
…… What does this mean?
Just because I couldn’t tell you everything.
She was about to tell me one of her secrets that she was hiding.
…… The fact that it was her secret would make her tremble with her anxiety.
It was completely unexpected, so I was momentarily taken aback.
“… ….”
…… Now that she had regained her relative composure, it was time for herself to calm her down.
I made a promise to myself once in a while.
White spoke again in a calm voice.
“Did you say that you were deceived by the proposal of the enemy demon king who was aiming for your mana, and acted together for a while?”
“…… !”
Ashera looked on again in amazement.
And then, at her, White smiled once.
‘…… I can’t help but be surprised.’
She was probably talking about something she wouldn’t have told anyone if it was her personality.
A story that no one knows about except for her party, the enemy demon king, and herself, sprang out of her own mouth.
The source was none other than Ashera herself from the now-disappeared time period.
Her It must be something she couldn’t even guess at now.
“No surprises, Asherah. The 12 demon lords, including the enemy demon lord, now also know that you have completely separated from them.”
“… ….”
As if no longer able to express her surprise, Ashera blankly blinked her eyes.
Then, carefully removing her hand from her mouth, White let out a sigh.
“…… Have you calmed down a bit? Asherah, no, Master.”
Correcting her title, White put a thin smile on her lips.
“I will never hate you, nor will I ever hate you.”
“… ….”
Ashera flinched at White’s words and flinched.
Soon she began to look up at White with a wary gaze.
“…… Are you sure? Really?”
“…… hahahaha.”
Ashera asked with a very uneasy look, and White let out a helpless laugh at that.
Before long, White held Ashera’s hand with her gentle smile.
‘…… Ah.’
And at that incredibly gentle touch, Ashera felt relieved without even realizing it.
I don’t know why, but I felt a strange sense of calming down my emotions.
As he held his hand with a light smile, it felt like his heart calmed down for some reason.
“I assure you, Master. I don’t hate you No matter what happens, forever.”
And at that point White opened her mouth again.
“…… Disciple.”
Ashera’s eyes began to get wet again.
“…… The fact that I said I would kill the 12 demon lords is just my personal problem. Do you think I will try to harm Master? In the first place-“
—The reason I decided to annihilate the 12 demon lords was because of you.
…… It’s for you.
Of course, I couldn’t connect the back story.
…… So far, I haven’t been able to talk about that part.
He just smiles bitterly with a bitter expression.
“…… Have you calmed down a bit, my master?”
White began gently stroking Ashera’s black hair.
