Yomigaeri no Maou

Talking about the circumstances about Lulu and Illis was fine in itself, but it was also a question of how far to go.

It is not only a question of Lulu being a demon, it is also a question of whether he will even speak of being a demon king.

But it was also something I had already thought about in the course of yesterday.

Gran and Yumis are by far one of the few sources and just the right sample to learn about common sense in this era.

Ancient Demons, Demon Kings, I wanted to know what attitudes people generally take about that.

And I'm in no position to listen to anything more than I did contract magic on Gran and Yumis.

Maybe sooner or later it is possible to solve the contract witchcraft, the two of us think that the contract witchcraft used by Lulu is quite robust, and it can be said that it is almost impossible to lift it without at least enough skill to easily alter the junction witchcraft used by Yumis.

And as far as believing in the stories of the two, it equals that very few people in this age possess such surgical alteration techniques.

In other words, rarely can we solve Lulu's contract magic.

Furthermore, even if we solve Lulu's covenant magic, as a Lulu, we don't have that much of a problem with who the past is.

Who the hell would believe that when I said in the first place that the lower aristocracy of a small village was the rebirth of a demon king thousands of years ago?

It's hard to imagine being spoken of would be so problematic.

Instead, the magic arm is likely to be more troublesome.

However, it is a skill that must be used in the future to protect itself and to investigate the ancient demons in this world.

There will be tough things to do in the direction of completely hiding it.

In other words, any information can be diverted.

If you think about it that way, Lulu doesn't have one situation that you have to actively cover up.

Contract magic on both Gran and Yumis is just a passive idea that we want to avoid instant splitting.

Thinking that far, Lulu finally opened his mouth.

"... I wonder where he talked from. In the first place, I don't think you two would believe me..."

Say foreboding, or say that to Lulu, who says that to put up a line of prevention, and Yumis just seems a little in a bad mood.

"I even did contract magic, so don't hesitate to tell me everything. If this was a big deal, we'd be talking about it according to what the hell the constraints are for......?

That's what they said, and I thought that was true, too. Lulu decided to stop saying it in a troublesome way and tell the facts clearly and terminally.

There is also a part of me that almost believes in two people, Gran and Yumis.

To the extent that you can forgive me for being betrayed.

"Well, you're right. Shall I say a lot of foreboding... terminally? Me, and Illis, are ancient demons."

Both Gran and Yumis lost their words to that fact, which was told as if it were a rush and nothing.

You're lying, at least for a moment, that's what you two would have thought.

But if so, I don't know what Lulu even prepared contract magic for.

Because that's not what it's like to go out of your mouth and talk to two people who are nothing more than one adventurer, even purposefully contract magic.

Because even if you say it out loud, it's like no one believes it.

It's a trap that fits both of us, not a possibility, but I think we're overworking it, and if you have the technology to create a bond where even Yumis can't escape, it's faster and surer to get out into a more straightforward way.

Thinking about it, there is nothing but accepting that what Lulu is saying is true.

After I concluded that in my head, it was surprisingly Yumis who recovered from the beginning.

"... I wonder what you should say is stupid."

"What do you think? Honestly, I don't have common sense... so does Illis. I don't know exactly how rare the Ancient Demons are or how they are seen. So I can't even imagine what kind of reaction it would be common... but as far as the reaction between the two of us is concerned, as you can see in the book, it almost seems like our presence is like a legend or something..."

To Lulu, who said so, Yumis stood up and

"Of course I do! I don't know about the Ancient Demons... I'm studying what I'm saying, but it's a world of lies, eyebrows, and delusions! There's something like that... right in front of you, no matter what you say, nobody's gonna believe you... more or less, how can you prove it?

"When they say that... I'm troubled that, as a one-off proof, there's a reason why me and Illis could have altered the Junction magic of Yumis. Wouldn't it be that easy?

Ugh, humming and sitting down again, like I was stuck in words when I was told. Yummies.

I guess it's because they poked me where it hurts.

Yumis' skill was certain.

From Lulu's point of view, it is only uncomfortable that she has as many magical arms and not so much surgical alteration techniques.

That's why Lulu's conversation was based on the expectation that the alteration technique was almost non-existent in this era.

Then, Gran also seemed to finally return to sanity watching Lulu interact with Yumis like that, and started asking questions off with a seemingly sorry trick that didn't suit the giant.

"I thought you weren't a normal guy, but you're not an ancient demon... but isn't that strange to think about? Your parents will undoubtedly be nobles in this country first. It is easy to speculate that that blood muscle is also left on the lineage diagram, and there will be no such thing as an ancient demon tribe in it. And you say you're an ancient demon? As for Miss Illis, I was asleep in that ruin. I don't have to understand that..."

That was the most questionable question.

However, can it be explained to people (human) so that they can understand about it?

Because reincarnation should have been a devil-specific idea.

But think that far, Lulu recalls.

Speaking of which......

"Yeah, you asked me earlier what I wanted to be if I was born again to Yumis, didn't you?

…… Yeah. You want to be a bird. What's wrong with that?

"The idea of rebirth, you know?

"Well, you'll see. Your soul is around, isn't it? It's romantic."

Lulu and Illis are shocked by that answer of Yumis, who told me to dream a little.

"Master Lulu... What does this mean?

"I don't know either... they really do..."

Yumis is an ancient race (elf), not a human race (human), but even so, in the past, such a way of thinking could never come out of the mouth of an ancient race (elf).

The reincarnation of the circle is a devil tribe-specific way of thinking, a religious view.

The Demons suffered defeat in the past.

Beyond that, in modern times I thought religion was united in the Church and buried in the darkness of history, such as the ancient demonic religious view, but at least the idea of reincarnation seems to remain.

Religion, in the village, was extremely rare and no church-related equipment existed, so I didn't think deeply about the area, but Lulu recognized here that it needed to be looked into.

That said, that is not the story we should be talking about here and now.

About who Lulu and the others are.

Lulu returns to the conversation and continues.

"Well... if you know how to think about reincarnation, it's quick to talk. I was reborn from an ancient demon to a human (human), not an ancient demon. So my body is human, and my parents are human."

"Born, changed... You really did...!

"You're not lying...? Is there still a way to go after you die..."

Both Yumis and Gran are surprised to round their eyes.

The feeling was well understood by Lulu too.

Because even Lulu and Illis, who believed that could actually happen, can't hide their surprise at the fact that happened to them.

Lulu goes on so as not to break the waist of the story.

"I'm not lying. I died in my last life for a reason. That's for sure, Illis knows. As a matter of fact, me and Iris were originally acquainted. I reunited in this day and age to see what caused it... oh, it's not like I was planting it in a ruin or anything. Totally, by chance."

"So... wait, then the explanation you gave me at the ruins was a lie?

I saw Iris as Grant blamed him a little.

I sympathized with her explanation. If so, I guess that was a bit of a sad act.

But Iris shook his head,

"No. Not a single lie"

"So, what do you mean?

"Once upon a time, I lost a loved one… it is in this person, Lulu"

"... it"

"Lulu was once my father and a very good friend inside. Therefore, Lulu was kind to me (me) as well. Lulu was so busy that if it were true, he wouldn't have had the time to devote to a child like me (me), but he came to see my face somehow… he must have celebrated it with a gift for his birthday, and he played a lot. So… it didn't take long for me (me) to remember Lulu's deep, dear love."

Saying that much for a breath, Illis cuts the story at one end.

And when I looked at the universe all the time and frowned and looked sad as I remembered something, I began to tell the rest.

"But at the time... it was a time of war. No one could ever be spared from the battle, and Lulu was always at its centre. The day before I (I) celebrate my seventh birthday... my lord Lulu was... killed. Mr. Lulu, as I said earlier, was always present in the battle. Anyway, let's say that, while I was young, I was ready. But the way it died was so spectacular... that none of our ministers could even take care of Master Lulu..."

Ri, and bite his lips, and Iris continues.

And the next expression that dwelt in his face was anger.

"I was thoughtless. I regretted it. … so I (I) have decided to avenge. He who killed Master Lulu... not to give him rebel werewolf smoke against the way of the world that killed Master Lulu. Fighting, and destroying the cause from this world, in an attempt to provide sustenance for Lulu. But...... in the end, that determination was also broken in the middle. I (I) was abducted by someone somewhere along that road and thrown into that ruin device… Then, as Gran knows. Looking at Lulu and Gran, he used to fall asleep and immediately launched an attack… to this day."

Illis finished talking to the end and returned to the quiet look of the original.

Gran heard that with an indescribable look,

"I have such circumstances... I doubt, I'm sorry..."

and apologized.

The iris,

"No. What you said to Gran at the ruins was not a lie... nor was it accurate. And that intention, because I wanted to hide the truth. Suspicious and natural. Rather, I would like to thank you for your forgiveness..."

"Fine. Never mind... I get the story.... but Lulu anyway, Miss Iris... how old the hell are you? I don't suppose it's like rebirth or something?

That's what Lulu was wondering too.

Before Lulu died, she was certainly a far more intelligent girl than her age, but I remember not being so firm so far.

Ilis thought a little, said.

"... I (I) was seven years old when Master Lulu died. I've been switching battlefields for about five years, so... twelve, that means. As for appearance, it was an ancient demonic characteristic… only a little bit, it's aging slowly"

Twelve.

I wonder if this girl has been fighting for five years since then, and Lulu doesn't know what to say to the annoyance she made.

But that's why I thought it might be different to apologize.

This girl wouldn't want that either.

Not really, I'm sure you'd be happier to look ahead, to think about what's to come.

With that in mind, Lulu didn't dare apologize on the spot.

However, it is true that the ancient demons are ageing slowly, but there is a limit that they did so.

In particular, the aging rate until adulthood is not so slow compared to that of the human race (human race).

If so, what is the growth of Illis...?

Think that far, when Illis notices Lulu's gaze, looks melancholy at his shape, then sighs,

"… still twelve, growth potential is left…"

And so on, I blushed my cheeks and looked embarrassed and crushed my eyes, so I felt sorry to think any more and Lulu stopped thinking.

The severely painful atmosphere lightens just a little on such an Iris look and trick, and Gran opens his mouth.

"... ok. Still, it seems the lady is smart at that age. Is this what all the ancient demons are all about?

Lulu answered the question.

"No, Illis will be special. The others were no different than human beings. There was a considerable difference in the treatment of magic compared to that of people (human beings) … there is no significant difference on the inside"

"Heh... I didn't even think I could hear this from the ancient demons themselves. When you hear that, the legendary race, don't get ridiculous about what he managed to say."

I hear Gran already broke it off with that.

The fact that Lulu and Illis are ancient demons, and so on.

I guess people who weigh heavily refer to this kind of man.

Yumis seems to be getting a little bit excited, slightly different, that Lulu and Ilis are finally kaguring to be ancient demons.

A hobby, though, is in front of us all the time.

I guess the joy is immeasurable.

Besides, Yumis seemed to have words he wouldn't listen to.

"I understand that you two are ancient demons... but I can't help but wonder what Iris was saying earlier"

"Ha... did I say something?

Ilis tilts his neck tightly.

Then Yumis said.

"I told you... how 'subordinate'... Lulu is an ancient demon tribe, so is Iris. That's all right. But...... what the hell was Lulu's position? It sounded as if Iris was serving... an ancient demon clan who could follow other ancient demons..."

From that way of putting it, I guess Yumis is more or less predictable.

I'm just not sure, there's a verse that I think is just an imagination.

And Lulu doesn't want to hide it anymore.

So I made myself clear.

"Oh yes... I once followed the ancient demons... led and fought all demons... in my last life, it was,"

- It's Lulslia-Nord, the 100th Demon King.
