As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

"Shuna..."

"Well, since you are going to the capital, let me give you one last reminder..."

Lucifer approached Will, covered one side with her hand, and whispered in Will's ear:

"There is a very bad aura of the oldest demon on your body. It seems that the people from 'Zero Castlevania' left some traces on you."

"!?"

"As the 'Tenth Castlevania', I no longer know where the 'Zero Castlevania' is now. In theory, it should have been eliminated, but the traces of the marks seem to be like this. When you arrive in the capital, you must be careful. "

"Ah."

Will nodded.

"Then, in human terms, I wish you a safe journey. If you miss me at any time, you can come to the 'Tenth Castlevania' to find me - if this place still exists by then."

"No problem! See you next time!"

Shona waved her hand.

Lucifer watched them disappear into the night streets.

but……

This "separation" seems to be a happy thing for her.

As the "Queen" of the dungeon, forming friendships with adventurers is rare but interesting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Castlevania Zero sounds like a very cool 'starting' name."

Will tied together the rag of Lucifer's curse and the piece of iron. He looked at the piece in the moonlight that would become a gift for Treya.

Because Treya did not explain the relationship between Entak's swordsmanship and demons very late in the original work, and did not describe the existence of the "Devil's Pot" in detail, all the things linked to the concept of "Demon" were almost invisible to Will. It's all new information.

He should have thought that since there is a tenth Castlevania, there should be a Zero Castlevania!After all, programmers always start counting from zero!

"Phew - I'm back from taking a shower. Go to bed early today. Aren't you going to take a shower?"

Shona didn't know how she found the shower facilities in the Adventurers Association. According to her, this was built because there was a swamp dungeon in the history of Zermat Town, and everyone had to come back to take a shower after entering.

"Yeah. Speaking of which, Shona, when you saw the 'most feared thing' in the dungeon, did you also see something?"

"You see it?"

"After all, you, who are usually very, very energetic, felt unusually mentally exhausted in an instant. Well... you wouldn't be like this normally, would you?"

"..."

"So what is it? Something that can scare even you, Xiuna..."

Will wanted to know, because it would help him understand the "protagonist" better.

"It's something I'm not afraid of."

"What is that?"

"Well……"

A smirk appeared on her face, and she moved closer to Will in an instant, not covering up her body under the towel at all.

"For a person like me, what do you think I would be afraid of?"

Will felt that Shona, who usually answered frankly about everything, must be perfunctory with him, but...

"Okay, have a good sleep~"

——She seems to want to prevaricate this matter to the end.

"Okay, good night."

……

Seeing that Will was indeed lying down, Shona sat under the moonlight and looked at the palm of her right hand, which was particularly white in the moonlight.

She lied, a rare lie, but regarding her life experience, she never really described her earliest "life experience" in her memory.

She looked at her palms in the moonlight. Perhaps the moonlight was too cold, making her palms pale.

I don't know why, even if she stacked all the mental resistance magic, she couldn't block Lucifer's move.

Sure enough, in front of the spiritual empress' full strength, she was still relatively weak.

She has long known what her "fear" is, because it has always been her nightmare. Even now, when she looks at her palm like this and is distracted, she will fall into that nightmare.

The most "fearful" thing is...

One's own "birth".

That was her earliest memory. Unlike most naturally born "human beings", her earliest memory was very clear because she had a basically fully developed brain at that time.

The moment I opened it, there was no memory in my brain, just like a blank piece of paper.

but……

she saw...

Holding the knife in his palm, both hands were filled with blood, dripping down along the ends of his palms.

Right in front of me——

Lying on the ground of the last level of the deserted dungeon was the blood of the "Emperor" of the dungeon.

She continued to attack the emperor's "body", swinging her blade without restraint until more blood...

Spread over the toes.

Chapter 233 "Am I the biggest obstacle in 'fate'?"

The town of Tsemaat.

Will welcomes the first ray of sunlight.

He carefully lifted off the old blanket that smelled of dust on his body, and tried his best to get up from the sofa without making any noise.

He took a sneak peek and saw that Shona was covered with a blanket and seemed to be sleeping soundly with her back to him.

Very good!

He had discovered before that Shona was "vague" about where she would go next, and he felt that she was determined to follow him.

Of course, she is very strong. Even if you take her to the palace without being jealous of Treya, if you really encounter any crisis, you can really hug her thigh!

"Ugh……"

It's just that all of this is based on "Xuna is a character that does not exist in the book".

Now, without a doubt...

She is a "cultivation", and he... may have established a wonderful "friendship" because he wrote her a letter, and now there is a 99% chance that he is in the "gay friend position".

It's no wonder that the favorability points are flowing towards him. This protagonist is completely not on the right path, and he hasn't even seen those three people!

So……

When traveling with Shona, the risk becomes much greater.

The "gay friend" in the original work died while exploring the dungeon with her.

He doesn't want it, there are more and more uncontrollable flags!

However, along the way, including the years of correspondence with "Mr. S", he has indeed regarded Shona as a "special person".

That's why he wanted to sneak away while Shona was sleeping.

Because he didn't want to say no again to Shona, who had already driven away and reunited with her again.

That would be so cruel.

But what is even more cruel to him is...

Shona was really the protagonist that he deliberately wanted to defeat with Plan B of "blackening the defeated dog" - no wonder this matter was his second level of fear.

He left a letter, a letter still addressed to "Mr. S". When Shona went to take a shower yesterday, it was buried under her luggage.

In that letter, he still signed the anonymous "W", and still called him the anonymous "S".

As long as he stopped here and went back to the beginning, he felt that he could deceive himself very smoothly!

He deceives himself that the "protagonist" has disappeared. From now on, the focus of the story is him, and he will no longer be led to the fate of being tightly clamped because of the protagonist.

After all, he really has to face someone whose favor he has filled - just like he did with Leah.

This way he can deceive himself...

Those who have a good impression of me are all...

The heroine written on the last page of the reward in the "Mission System" does not belong to the story, does not belong to "destiny", and does not belong to Xiu.

In this way, it constitutes the motivation for responding to them.

Will looked back at Shona's back one last time.

"Goodbye, I'm going to finish my own story later."

he said softly.

"...You are not the protagonist, I can treat you as if you don't exist..."

However, when he turned around after saying this.

It seemed as if some memories with a "sense of déjà vu" suddenly flooded into his brain——

——Are you looking forward to a heroine...

——She is a powerful and mysterious heroine.

——She is the heroine born for you!

……

strangeness.

Will paused.

He felt that for the first time in his huge mixed memory of two lifetimes, there was a memory that he "remembered" but couldn't remember where he saw it.

And it is a very clear memory. Such a clear memory should not appear "for the first time".

"Who are you saying doesn't exist?"

then……

The moment Will looked back, he seemed to see a "horror story".

Shona held the letter he gave between her fingers and leaned against the door frame.

"what?!"

Will turned around, and at this moment, the pillow, which seemed to have finally lost its balance, slid down from the sofa in an awkward manner.

"I usually get up quite early - you and I have lived in the same room for so many days, when have you ever gotten up earlier than me? You are so confident."

Shona seemed to be right.

When he wakes up every morning, he sees the sunrise.

And Shona watching the sunrise.

He had no idea when Shona woke up, so how could he possibly wake up earlier than her? !

Even if I secretly take out the mechanical alarm clock hidden in the ring, there is nothing I can do!

"I saw you writing me the 'Letter from W' as soon as I got up. I always felt that you had some evil intentions, so I waited for you here."

She said it lightly, but Will knew she should have guessed.

The fact that I wanted to leave without saying goodbye...

"...Forget it, pack your things and let's set off first. The president of the Adventurers Association will be here to open for business soon."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will followed Shona on the street like a kid who made a mistake and grabbed the bag.

The sun was facing away from them - the capital was located in the central and western part of the Entak Empire. If he wanted to go to the capital, he would have to walk west to where there was a road and get on the bus.
