Yomigaeri no Maou

"Immediately, I'm not saying… I'm sure, not far away. That's why I want you to know that my brother-in-law is here. My brother-in-law says I can help you..."

Lulu leans his neck to the words of Illis.

"... why are we talking about that? Even if something happens, it's not like I'm involved... if I live quietly somewhere..."

Iris shook his head and replied to Lulu, who tried to release the unnatural words from his mouth.

"I can't do that. I understand. Your brother-in-law will always be involved. And I think they'll stick that neck in themselves."

"... hey"

I felt sorry for Lulu for his lack of appreciation.

But it's hard to say that that idea of Illis is wrong.

In fact, it is easy to predict that this will happen in the future because we have been involved in various things that happened during the competition without divulging any details.

"To be honest, your brother-in-law (who is here) is involved and in shape. I won't leave you around. I don't know what's going to happen in this day and age, but I'm sure your brother-in-law will still be close to the center of it... so sure."

Lulu answers the assertion as he waves his head.

"If I can, I'd like to keep myself as small and as far away from storms like that as I can..."

"That being said, if there is a storm in front of you, it would be better for your brother-in-law (to be there) to run out to its center..."

They're not willing to change their ratings no matter what.

I had no choice but to accept Lulu and then ask.

"... If so, what does Illis want to do?

"If your brother-in-law wants to go to the center of the storm, then I just want to come with you. Once upon a time, it wasn't even allowed..."

That being said, I remember the dialogue that Illis had said before, and Lulu groaned pompously.

"... do you want me to admit it? Is that what you meant?"

As for Lulu, I thought it simply meant that he wanted to be recognized for his strength, but that seemed a little different.

Because Lulu will eventually be involved in something dangerous, that's what he wants Lulu to have the right to be recognized for his strength and to get there with dignity.

From Lulu's point of view, I just want to say I'll do as much or as little as that, but I guess that doesn't satisfy me.

Or maybe it doesn't make sense.

I can take Iris anywhere, but if anything happens, Lulu will do everything in his power to protect Iris.

As the oblivion of a former friend, and as a companion to protect more than anyone else.

But that's not what Iris wants.

Lulu thought he was looking to be a partner to stand next to.

There was no one to say that to Lulu, who was once told that there was no one to line up beside, even though he was now a human (human).

Some may have said it was realistically impossible, but many felt it was even more unwieldy than that.

That's why Lulu ended up being single at the time, but if there was a woman who would say this back then...

And Lulu shook his head where his thoughts were about to advance to the point where it didn't matter.

Iris is the daughter of a friend.

Thinking about that would be a problem.

Only if the daughter of my once closest friend stood next to me like a friend back then.

I wondered if that would be a very happy thing.

So Lulu nods and answers.

"Then why don't you let me show you the power of Illis... because I won't give you a break?

And Iris smiled and nodded as he stood.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you. My brother-in-law..."

It's just enough time.

And the voice of the start of the game rings out.

"Begin!

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Bad for the Ancients (elves), but Lulu wasn't going to be so out of hand only this time.

Of course, I certainly don't intend to try to destroy the junction even more exceptionally, like Uvezd, but I don't even think I can help it if it breaks in the aftermath.

When that happens, I wish Lulu had a substitute bond.

On that point, perhaps Illis is thinking of something similar.

Shortly after the game started, Lulu and Iris moved out almost simultaneously and took a distance.

Technically, Lulu tried harder to move ahead, but the thing about the racial physical ability difference was huge, and Iris reacted so fast that he couldn't keep up with it even if he let magic flow to his body right after the start of the game.

Apparently, with simple reflex nerves, it's tough for Lulu to challenge Illis to battle.

That said, I knew that from the beginning, and Lulu doesn't consider the difference in physical abilities so heavy that if she predicts the movement of Illis faster than herself, there won't be a problem.

Shortly after taking the distance, the two began to converge their magic powers and prepare to unleash their magic.

Preparation, that said, was only a moment from the audience.

Huge amounts of magic gather in the hands of two people faster than they blink, and from within each body you can see there is such deep and intense magic gathered that it can be seen, especially by those who are not profound in witchcraft.

It was the top magicians who felt stunned and threatened by that sight spreading in front of them.

So much because the amount of magic they had was enormous, and something that the individual couldn't get to no matter how hard they tried.

Moreover, if you reach such a magic concentration if you are normal, the irresistible average person is even dangerous to be on this spot.

While the magicians managed to shield at least the spectators on this occasion from its damage while opening their eyes to the concentration of magic on this occasion equal to a massive magic disaster where problems such as being eroded by immense magic and becoming demons or failing to maintain the prototype of their bodies are occurring.

But, strangely, there is nothing to complain about such an issue as who alone.

It is this much magic.

That's what's immersed in magic in an instant, and it shouldn't be weird to come abnormally, but the audience is normally supported by everyone.

Realizing that, the magicians are all the more surprised.

Because I don't know why that's happening, but apparently I found out it wouldn't do any harm.

Possible reasons are about the absolute barrier of the ancient tribe (elves), but somehow the magic is transmitted through it, so I guess that's not why.

But why......

With that in mind, the sorcerers, who are no longer worried, soon see themselves in the game.

Because after a moment, the aggregated magic was formed into magic to create a brilliant sight on the stage of the arena.

It was a fantastic show that I could only describe.

I can't believe they say this is a battle.

Such an artistic sight was created on the spot.

First, Lulu used his magic to summon a dozen worldly beings.

Shown in the battle against Shui, he has been so massively recalled that he feels that every creature connected to the sea and ice has gathered on the spot, starting with the Ice Spirit (Nereides) and clear to the other side, a giant sea moon (jellyfish) swimming loosely in the sky, a pawn in the Dragon Palace with strange eyes that peek deep into his intellect (Tatsunuotoshigo), and a sea snake wrapped around a giant tunnel (Sarpent).

Moreover, it hisses that all of them reside in their immense power, and the sorcerers tremble upon that power of Lulu, who invokes, serves, and dominates such things.

Is this possible for an individual?

No, once I amassed the power of all the magicians gathered in this arena, I didn't think I could do this, but I don't think I could.

They knew.

That Lulu's summoned it is all a pillar of a kind of spirit that is said never to respond to a man's call, as is told in legends and fairytales.

And they think.

I feel sympathy for the other girl who has to fight something like this.

But even the Iris understood that they were a kind of monster that could not be measured by their measure, when they shifted their gaze toward the Iris.

Their gaze froze when they saw the one in Illis.

Because there were spirits floating around Illis who could understand just by their standing that they had immense power, just as they did around Lulu, and they were confused with that around Lulu.

On the torso of a bird with blue feathers, the sky spirit with deer heads and feet on it, the deer bird (Peruton), the regenerating bird with flaming feathers and calm eye light, the undead bird (Phoenix), the ruler of the sky with shining feathers and huge body bodies, the light bird (Garuda) and so on, this one seems to be calling for all that flies through the sky.

Fewer in number than Lulu's, but instead many seem to have a strong power to dwell in unity.

That said, make it Lulu, make it Illis, who either summoned is nothing more than a being who, for the mages of the audience as a whole, would have to be prepared to die if they appeared before their eyes.

I despaired of how much magic, how much spiritual power and how much magical skill the two of them were calling it.

Sooner or later, to the best mages in the world, to them who had thought so, Lulu and Illis only seemed a high wall that could no longer be crossed.

And the two of them, who are capable of the incredible divinity that happens in front of them, became only visible to something even more almost equal to God to the sorcerer on the spot.

"You really lifted your arm, Iris. Seven years ago, it was just a soldier class at best... and now even if we go back in time, we're going to be close."

Lulu sees the summoned beings of Illis, and he thinks so without a multiplier and raises his praise.

The Spirit is not as good as it should be.

In modern times, it is generally said that it is even a difficult task to make a covenant with a Lower Spirit One, such that if you make a covenant with a Middle Spirit as Yuri is under covenant, you will be promised prosperity.

Those who covenanted and were able to call them together, called throne spirits beyond the superior spirits, like Lulu and Illis are good enough to say that they are a straight line on the road to the court magic master.

The fact that we are able to invoke so much of that tells us so much about Illis' efforts.

In former times there were few who could summon the Spirit of the Throne, but still there were not many who could summon this number and let it take full control.

That's if you're not the kind of person they call human (human), demonic, powerful.

Bacchus was then especially loved by the Spirit among the Demons, and although Illis has inherited that blood, he may therefore have originally had a high talent with regard to the Spirit, but it would undoubtedly be her own efforts that blossomed it first.

That was why it was a praise for letting go, and Illis smiled happily, understanding what it meant, but responded without alarm, wearing the movement of Lulu and his spirits.

"... I'm so glad, but I can't do this alone. I don't think the same thing can be done by all the people near me once, but there just weren't many types of people who use the Spirit to fight. If you actually fight, you will still be no match for those close at the time...... now (...), not yet"

It was a declaration that it would eventually be allowed to go beyond.

Lulu remembered his heartfelt thoughts on the proclamation, and said:

"Ha ha... really, Illis has come to say it. But funny. When we were at war, when we were this old, it would have been fun... of course, it doesn't mean we're not having fun right now."

The proximity of the Demon King is like playing with it from time to time, says Lulu, remembering that various terrain was destroyed or created the other way around in the aftermath.

Illis at the time was not very much there, but I couldn't get him to join me, but if Illis is now, throwing him in sounds interesting.

And, thinking so, Lulu realized that he was somehow beginning to believe in the strength of Iris in himself.

"... I see"

I felt as if I could realise how Illis had tried to fight Lulu, smiling and sprinkling the spirits floating around him.
