I... can't forget the moment she died.
My name is Draster.Everyone calls me a brave man.
At this moment, I was recalling the past of this girl floating in front of me.
The girl's name is Philea.
It was the girl who saved me when I lost everything and lost everything.
She is both cute and gentle, and also has the heroic traits that are both powerful and brave.
It's a beautiful girl like light...
Once was.
The Demon King Army is very strong.
Even if I were, I couldn't guarantee that I would win.
But now we human countries have formed alliances under the support of urban representatives.
Although it is not as sure as the human army is sure to win, at least we cannot easily lose...
I believed so firmly at the time.
We gathered warriors from all over the world.
We have a long-term battle.
In order to fight against the Demon King Army, the preparations made can be said to be perfect.
but……
In front of the Demon King Army, those preparations have no effect at all.
They were able to understand everything clearly.
The power of the Demon King Army is far beyond human imagination.
I always think that they are by no means unbeatable opponents.
Indeed, I was defeated in a duel with the Demon King.
Although if I hadn't been rescued by Philea at that time, I would never have been able to speak as alive as I am now.
But I believe that with the help of Philea and other partners, they can't win us at all.
I had been so delusional.
But the ending is so.
We are trapped in the so-called true desperate situation.
I looked at the warriors around me and fell one after another in that desperate battle.
I might be one of them soon, but it would be much better to die here than to die in that city at that time, and even this kind of thought would appear.
Please don't give up!
"Anyway, my life was recovered, even if I die here, it's enough."
『There must be any other way to get Philea away…』
Just as I had even these thoughts appeared, Philea shouted.
The light of hope rekindled in his eyes.
How could I give up when my beloved girl shouted like this?
Yes...!?
But I'm too naive.
Just the next second, Philea made an unusual scream.
The spear tip penetrated the girl's abdomen.
The red blood symbolizing life gradually seeps out.
I'm fine...
How could it be fine?
In order to save her in danger, I can't waste a second, I must use the reply magic as soon as possible.
Lord Brave, the Demon King’s reinforcements are approaching quickly here!
But the situation at that time did not allow me to do so.
If I don't do my best to deal with those demons, Philea, who is dying, may become a corpse immediately.
Despite this, Philea expressed her dry voice...
...Don't worry about me... Leave me here...
How could I do this?
Instead of leaving Philea and running away, it would be better to die.
How could I do this?If I want me to refuse to save you, I might as well die here!
I could no longer stop tears, shouted like this.
...I think so.I see
Philea smiled while saying this.
And at that time, I completely misunderstood the meaning of that smile.
Weapons... Can I get my weapon for me...?
I gave her Philea's weapon, the single-blade sword.
She had told me before that this was a special weapon of origin.
Lord Drast...you need happiness...!
While saying this, Philea grabbed the single-blade sword and stabbed it in her chest.
...Huh?
I can't understand for a while.
Could it be... Did Philea realizes that she will become a burden and commit suicide in order not to drag me down?
………………
……
…………
………………
Seeing this miserable scene, I was very calm at that time, and even thought stupidly...
"Luckily, Philea was not taken away like everyone else"
What a hopeless guy.
A guy like this should die at that time.
So... Finally, let me perform my duties as a brave man.
The entire army retreats!
But, behind us will...
Don't worry, I'll come to the back of the palace
By Lord Brave, are you?
That's right.I must not let any brother sacrifice any more.Send the order quickly!
yes!
I plan to die just like that.
Although I am sorry to those who respect me and regard me as a brave man, in this world without Philea, I can no longer find the meaning of living.
In this case, at least this life must be used to make good use of it in the end.
...Felia would definitely not agree to me.
……？
At that time, Philea's body began to glow.
Of course, the miracle of resurrection did not happen.
However, the light continued to grow bigger and bigger, and finally swallowed up all the surroundings... our human army and the demon king army.
………………here it is?
When I came back to my senses, I was already in the suburbs of Nerisford.
And not only me, but all the remaining soldiers were there.
The place where the Demon King Army fought was quite far away from here.
No one present could explain what happened.
The only thing we know is that it all happened after the body of Saint Philea was glowing.
Everyone regards this as a miracle.
People believe that this is a miracle that the saint had done to protect his lover.
And we only realized afterwards that the Demon King Army, who were also involved in the light at the same time, were all destroyed.
So in terms of the result, we can say that we have successfully greatly weakened the combat power of the Demon King Army.
But I let the girl I love the most die.
What a brave man, Ah, he is just a miserable and incompetent fool.
And now even the legitimate reason for dying is lost.
I can't remember how the next days were spent.
Looking back now, I just kept living a life of being in a daze from morning to night.
Although it seemed that I had talked to the city representative, I seemed to have done nothing afterwards.
All I think about in my mind is how many demons have been killed.
To put it nicely, it is called revenge. In fact, it is just that I don’t want to waste this life that was picked up by Philea for no reason.
Maybe Philea will not be able to ascend to heaven with peace of mind, because of my useless cowardly appearance.
"Uh...so, what should I do if I come back?』
Philea is still that Philea.
Still the familiar confused expression.
Even though she became the rumored elf, her inner self was still the same as before.
What to do? Ah...
To be honest, I, who locked myself in a hotel, actually didn't know the current situation.
According to the last information obtained, the Demon Kings army that was located there at that time should have been wiped out.
No matter how powerful the Demon King Army and the others are, it will be very difficult to rebuild an army of the same size immediately.
In addition, the army on humans is still huge in scale, and the Demon King Army is relatively at a disadvantage.
Adding up various factors, humans should immediately strengthen the cooperative relations between countries and take action against the weakened Demon King Army.
Including confirming the information mentioned just now, I should first talk to the city representative.
...If he is willing to treat me as a brave man.
That's fine, let's explain Philea's affairs first
『I understand.but……"
Philea, who expressed that she would comply with my opinion, lowered her head at this time.
"Is Philea worried about something?"』
But after seeing Philea's appearance, my doubts were immediately resolved.
It is precisely because of this that I have to go.
…Thank you really.All have become like this, and I'm willing to come to my side
How could I not be able to recover after seeing Philea who was still helping me cheer up even if she turned into an elf?
At least it must be enough to make Philea rest assured to sleep.
Philea, let's go together
As I said that, I stretched out my hand.
『…Is it really okay to meet people with this look of a demon?』
What she cared about was indeed this Ah...
Indeed, Philea looks like a ghost now.
It is said that even some people in the world regard them as evil spirits who have left in the world to cause revenge on their blood and come to the world
Look.
But I will never let them use this statement on Philea.
If anyone dares to insult the reputation of this girl who saved us "we are surrounded by the demon army", then don't blame me for killing me.
Even if I was criticized by everyone and became a criminal, I would never tolerate such a thing happening.
Philea
『Yes yes』
At that time, I didn't protect you
"This is not the case..."
But that's the truth.So I hope to protect you this time
I know that a guy who locked himself in the room until just now because he lost his lover is not qualified to say this.
But Ah...
The treasure I thought I had lost forever was now in front of me.
This time, I will definitely protect her.
I do what I say.
I'm determined, I don't want to make any concessions in protecting you
After hearing this, Philea pondered for a moment.
Not long after, she raised her head and said to me:
"I see.But if it will drag you down, please leave me behind."
It turns out that Philea is holding this idea...
When she regained her consciousness and found that she had become an elf who had lost her entity, she realized that no matter how much she was worried, it would be useless.
But even if she has this awareness, my determination to protect her will not be shaken in any way.
Haven’t I said everything, I will protect you well.So I will never abandon you
When I said this in a tough tone, Philea showed a surprised expression.
Even though it is the moment when it should be serious, I can't help but feel "This reaction is so cute!"!'The inappropriate thoughts.
...I was indeed devoted to this girl.
Let's go
"……OK.Then I'll bother you』
The hand that I reached out to hold was even higher than I thought.
Thinking about it carefully, when she was lingering just now, her body was no different from usual.
So maybe your body temperature will not be different.
But then again, compared to before, her body always feels sticky...
No, now is not the time to think about "that thing".
I held Philea's hand and opened the hotel door that had not been opened for a long time.
Huh?That's not...
But she hasn't...
Saint, your appearance...
As we quickly rushed to the city representative, we heard these sounds.
Everyone who knows Philea's situation can't hide her surprise after seeing her.
Not to mention the reactions of the soldiers who had gone to the battlefield with us.
But despite this, I still haven't let go of Philea's hand.
『……』
Since Philea is willing to come with me.
Then I naturally cannot let down her trustworthy eyes.
In order not to let regret happen again, I
Great, he's there
It didn't take long before we found the urban representative who hadn't seen each other.
I was worried that he would stay in the office.
Fortunately, when we arrived, it happened that someone else was doing things with his subordinates outside. His Highness Drast...?Are you okay?
I noticed my urban representative and walked towards us.
He could feel his concern for me in his tone.
Seeing his attitude, I wanted to ask him to explain clearly that there should be no problem.
Are you still worried about me?
After all, they all lost their close lover.It's strange if you don't have it like you
A straightforward answer full of his style.
...So, how to explain it.
In any case, it would be difficult to continue without letting him see Philea's current situation first.
However, when I was about to explain, Philea hid behind me and refused to come out.
"...This looks so shameful."
No problem.Everyone will be very happy to see it
The urban representative who looked behind me with a puzzled look was immediately shocked.
But this is also natural.
Because Philea not only floated lightly in the air, but her whole body was also translucent.
His Highness Dedrast, can you please explain clearly to me, what is going on?
certainly.Just as I was lying in the hotel, she suddenly appeared in front of me.Then
I told everything in detail.
Ah, not all, and the part when Philea first appeared was still retained.
After all, the private matters between men and women cannot be described clearly.
Not only considering Philea, I personally don’t want to talk about it.
Is it a girl who is still with the brave even after death?
After listening to my explanation, this sentence came to the mouth of the city representative.
Then he said to Philea:
His Highness Philea, first of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.If you weren't here, we wouldn't be able to talk like we are now
He also expressed his gratitude just the day after Philea and I arrived at Nerisford.
Although I am also grateful, this time she saved thousands of people, which is completely different from the little credit she saved me last time.
And the credit was more than that, she even took away the large-scale demon clan equivalent to the legion level.
"That... because after the body became like this, the memory began to become blurred.So please tell me the details of that battle?』
Is this actually happening?
"Yes, I still vaguely remember that the only battle was left was quite tragic, and... I died there."
Philea lost most of the memory of that battle.
To be more precise, what she left was just a few fragments of memory.
Although I still don’t know the details of what impact will be on the human body after losing the body.
But at least the memory of my life doesn't seem to be able to recall it all.
In this way, is it true that "not knowing the cause of my death"?
"Yes.But I think the situation of the war is so serious that even if someone dies in battle... I even die there myself, it is actually nothing strange.
...The urban representative looked at me with a troubled expression.
It seems that he also knows the cause of Philea's death.
Just after you die, the light emitted by your body covers the entire battlefield
"The whole battlefield?"』
That's right, after the light faded, we were already standing on the grassland near the suburbs of Nerisford.Later I heard that all the demon kings who were involved in the battlefield were eliminated.
"So that's it... I probably understand why everyone is so enthusiastic about me."
Everyone should be grateful far beyond Philea's imagination.
I still remember those people who were on the battlefield the moment before. Although they didn’t know what happened, everyone was a miracle!', 'This is a miracle Ah' shouted.
After all, what happened at that time was a real "miracle".Everyone present at that time... No, maybe even the residents of this city are. It is impossible for everyone to speak ill of you.
"If this is the case, my death is still worth a bit."
This can only be considered a "something".You have bought a lot of precious time for all mankind
We don't have much time left.
If we consider the extraordinary strength of the Demon King Army and do not gather all the power and wisdom, human beings will definitely perish.
What Philea won for sacrificing her body this time was such precious time.
Feel sorry.It's obviously no longer the time to cheat...
...I'm so stupid.
The pain of losing Philea actually made me not realize what she left for everyone.
Through that battle, don’t I know what a powerful opponent the Demon King Army is?
No, I actually knew it earlier, as early as the first time when I was in the devil's duel.
His Highness Draster
I looked up and looked at the city representative.
The one who smiled at me there was a capable gentleman who was a very old man who had been several rounds.
His Highness Draster, to be honest, I didn't really think of you at the beginning
So that's the case?
Yes.When you first met you, not only were you surrounded by three women, but you also had powerful powers that I could not imagine...
I still remember... "Are people like this who have been bathed in glory for the rest of their lives actually our bravery?"'That was what I thought before
What he said...maybe it is right.
Since I was born, no matter what I wanted to do, I started it easily and immediately, never knowing what the word "failure" is.
Moreover, I have a very good relationship with people. Not only do I have many same-sex friends, but I also have cute girls.
Now that I look back and think about it carefully, I actually vaguely realize that I am a special existence.
But this confidence only lasts 'that moment'.
The Demon King, the man who took away everything I have.
Whether it is an important partner, a close lover, or the driving force for the battle, everything was taken away by him.
The so-called "pigs and sheep change color overnight" refers to this.
And after meeting you with His Highness Philea, I changed...
"This man, who is called a brave man, is also so obsessed with this level... "I felt much more at ease.
At this time, what the city representative showed might be a jealous smile.
The expression on his face is something I have never seen before, so that I can understand it easily.
So just after seeing the revived look of His Highness Draster, I think the women who are following the brave should be women like His Highness Philea.
...There is nothing wrong.There is no other choice.Even if death separates us, my love for her will last forever and will never stop until death.
『Hey!?』
Our conversation surprised Philea.
I obviously had skin kinship with her every night before she died, but did not convey these feelings to her?
This made me feel a little unwilling.
...Maybe for her, all this behavior is just to help me heal my wounds.
His Highness Draster is more like a human being now
Like a person?
The brave man of humanity should be like a human being. Don’t you think so?
This wise man, who is older than me, is trying to make me understand this truth.
That's right, I'm a human.
It is precisely because it is human that we have the idea of fighting for girls.
Not fighting as a brave man, but as a selfish man.
Representative, please stop calling me a respectful title in the future
OK, Draster.Next time we have time, let's have another drink
certainly!
I don’t know what happened, but I always feel like I feel relieved.
Philea looked at us who were interacting so much, showing an interesting expression.
Could it be that she is also interested in the friendship between men?
Back to the topic, I won’t explain some details carefully.After that battle, cooperation between countries became closer
"is that so?』
Well, we fought with the Demon King Army with such a huge army, but the result was no different from a crushing defeat.This must have aroused a sense of crisis in neighboring countries.
If you want to make it clearer.
Because there were a large number of powerful generals present at that time.
Among those from all over the world, perhaps a lot of people who speak influentially may be involved, so no matter how negative they are, after seeing the fate of those fierce generals and the defeat, all countries in the world have to face up to the threat brought by the Demon King Army.
In addition, thanks to His Highness Philea, the current combat power of the Demon King Army has been more or less weakened."If we want to defeat those guys, we only have the opportunity to do so now." I think anyone knows this fact
Simply put, what does everyone want to take advantage of the weak Demon King Army to compete for opportunities?
『Ah~... So that's how it is Ah』
Philea looked unfair.
Although I really respect the ideas of those big names, let me think from their perspective.
In fact, although my performance as a brave man is remarkable, it is only a handful of large-scale combat operations that can be regarded as such in the army.
If it is not for its own benefit, no country would be willing to respond actively.
The country that took the lead in defeating the Demon King must have gained a strong influence in the post-war world.
But the Demon King Army and the others are not easily defeated.
Although the reward is so tempting because they are not easily defeated, this is an opponent that may not be able to defeat even if they give all the strength of the country...
No, it should be said that it is an opponent that cannot be won.
But now, unexpected situations have happened.
In the case where the Demon King Army is no longer so powerful, perhaps the people in power in those countries will think that it would be too ignorant to not invest in combat power at this time.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, reinforcements sent by various countries are gathering in our city, Nerisford.
For us, this situation is of course the best.
But on the contrary, if you can't even win the Demon King's Army like this, you will actually be nowhere to go from the demise of human beings.
It can be said to be a real battle.
Dlast, next I said as a friend.Take Philea away and escape to a safe place to live, which is another option for you
……
As a brave man who has made great contributions to you, you have made great contributions.
What he said...maybe it is not wrong.
I can't imagine how big the war that is about to break out will be.
It was a super battle where no matter how hard I worked on myself, it had nothing to do with the overall victory or defeat.
"Even if you are missing, the result will not change."
That's what he wants to express.
I looked at Philea, who was standing beside me.
She had told me before.
Even if I want to escape to the ends of the world, no matter what choice I make, she will follow me without leaving me.
This is what she showed me.
So even if I escape here, Philea will be willing to go with me.
Just by imagining this charming future, I couldn't help but feel excited.
But it is precisely because of this... I can't escape.
But the Demon King will not make us live so well.I know this very well, who has lost to him twice
It means...you still want to fight again?
It's Ah... If I don't use these hands to get rid of the Demon King, I will probably spend my life forever in fighting and killing.
Should I say it is my ominous premonition?
Even if you escape now, you will probably end up "forcing yourself to death".
So I won't escape.
...It's not like that.
Actually, I'm scared.
I am afraid of losing this girl who is unwilling to separate from me no matter how she looks.
So, I can't stand the fact that the guys who want to take Philea away are still alive in the world.
Whether it is the Demon King or the Demon Clan, if I don’t completely eliminate them all in one day, I will not be able to live a peaceful life for a day.
If this relationship is to be expressed in words... I think it is "revenge".
I gradually became cold and I was also self-conscious.
"The guys who took Philea's life should all die"
This is my reason for action... I have completely deviated from the path of bravery.
But it doesn't matter. A guy like me who can't even protect his lover is only worthy of doing this kind of thing.
I see.Then we have something to ask you
What is it?
Draster, you hope to be like before, as a brave man, to become a spiritual symbol that unites everyone.
I had this plan...
I originally planned to go to the front line even if I lose my name as a brave man and kill all the guys in front of me.
This is the best position for a guy who wants to avenge his lover.
Then since His Highness Philea is back now, I hope you can share this position together.
"Am I?"』
Yes.Although I really panicked when I first met you, if I think about it carefully, this might be a godsend opportunity
It sounds…it's exactly that.
Philea saved many lives and also destroyed a large number of enemy troops.
Considering the results she received from sacrificing her life, it can be said to be quite consistent as a spiritual symbol.
In addition, her conspicuous appearance is all the best conditions.
Based on your current appearance, use the elves...well, since it is a divine spirit, then use the name of the Holy Spirit to promote it...will you accept it?
Holy Spirit.
This saint sacrificed her life to save her partner.
But after losing his body, he has appeared again and returned to the present world.
How could this exist in the eyes of the world?
...As a spiritual symbol, there is nothing more suitable than her.
Especially in this city where there are many warriors alongside us, it may even be worshipped as a goddess.
Even though it seemed that Philea had noticed this, she was still staring at me for a while and showed her gentle smile.
Then he said to the city representative:
"I see.The Holy Spirit Philea here re-declares that she will fight for Lord Drast!』
I once again got the chance to protect this girl.
Whether it is the Demon King, the Demon Clan, or the girls I once loved...
I won't let go of any of them.
My name is Draster.Everyone calls me a brave man.
At this moment, I was recalling the past of this girl floating in front of me.
The girl's name is Philea.
It was the girl who saved me when I lost everything and lost everything.
She is both cute and gentle, and also has the heroic traits that are both powerful and brave.
It's a beautiful girl like light...
Once was.
The Demon King Army is very strong.
Even if I were, I couldn't guarantee that I would win.
But now we human countries have formed alliances under the support of urban representatives.
Although it is not as sure as the human army is sure to win, at least we cannot easily lose...
I believed so firmly at the time.
We gathered warriors from all over the world.
We have a long-term battle.
In order to fight against the Demon King Army, the preparations made can be said to be perfect.
but……
In front of the Demon King Army, those preparations have no effect at all.
They were able to understand everything clearly.
The power of the Demon King Army is far beyond human imagination.

But I believe that with the help of Philea and other partners, they can't win us at all.
I had been so delusional.
But the ending is so.
We are trapped in the so-called true desperate situation.
I looked at the warriors around me and fell one after another in that desperate battle.
I might be one of them soon, but it would be much better to die here than to die in that city at that time, and even this kind of thought would appear.
Please don't give up!
"Anyway, my life was recovered, even if I die here, it's enough."
『There must be any other way to get Philea away…』
Just as I had even these thoughts appeared, Philea shouted.
The light of hope rekindled in his eyes.
How could I give up when my beloved girl shouted like this?
Yes...!?
But I'm too naive.
Just the next second, Philea made an unusual scream.
The spear tip penetrated the girl's abdomen.
The red blood symbolizing life gradually seeps out.
I'm fine...
How could it be fine?
In order to save her in danger, I can't waste a second, I must use the reply magic as soon as possible.
Lord Brave, the Demon King’s reinforcements are approaching quickly here!
But the situation at that time did not allow me to do so.
If I don't do my best to deal with those demons, Philea, who is dying, may become a corpse immediately.
Despite this, Philea expressed her dry voice...
...Don't worry about me... Leave me here...
How could I do this?

Don't worry, I'll come to the back of the palace

That's right.I must not let any brother sacrifice any more.Send the order quickly!
yes!
I plan to die just like that.
Although I am sorry to those who respect me and regard me as a brave man, in this world without Philea, I can no longer find the meaning of living.
In this case, at least this life must be used to make good use of it in the end.

Philea is still that Philea.
Still the familiar confused expression.
Even though she became the rumored elf, her inner self was still the same as before.
What to do? Ah...
To be honest, I, who locked myself in a hotel, actually didn't know the current situation.
According to the last information obtained, the Demon Kings army that was located there at that time should have been wiped out.

That's fine, let's explain Philea's affairs first
『I understand.but……"
Philea, who expressed that she would comply with my opinion, lowered her head at this time.
"Is Philea worried about something?"』
But after seeing Philea's appearance, my doubts were immediately resolved.
It is precisely because of this that I have to go.
…Thank you really.All have become like this, and I'm willing to come to my side
How could I not be able to recover after seeing Philea who was still helping me cheer up even if she turned into an elf?
At least it must be enough to make Philea rest assured to sleep.
Philea, let's go together
As I said that, I stretched out my hand.
『…Is it really okay to meet people with this look of a demon?』
What she cared about was indeed this Ah...
Indeed, Philea looks like a ghost now.
It is said that even some people in the world regard them as evil spirits who have left in the world to cause revenge on their blood and come to the world
Look.
But I will never let them use this statement on Philea.
If anyone dares to insult the reputation of this girl who saved us "we are surrounded by the demon army", then don't blame me for killing me.
Even if I was criticized by everyone and became a criminal, I would never tolerate such a thing happening.
Philea
『Yes yes』
At that time, I didn't protect you
"This is not the case..."
But that's the truth.So I hope to protect you this time
I know that a guy who locked himself in the room until just now because he lost his lover is not qualified to say this.
But Ah...
The treasure I thought I had lost forever was now in front of me.
This time, I will definitely protect her.
I do what I say.
I'm determined, I don't want to make any concessions in protecting you
After hearing this, Philea pondered for a moment.
Not long after, she raised her head and said to me:
"I see.But if it will drag you down, please leave me behind."
It turns out that Philea is holding this idea...
When she regained her consciousness and found that she had become an elf who had lost her entity, she realized that no matter how much she was worried, it would be useless.
But even if she has this awareness, my determination to protect her will not be shaken in any way.
Haven’t I said everything, I will protect you well.So I will never abandon you
When I said this in a tough tone, Philea showed a surprised expression.
Even though it is the moment when it should be serious, I can't help but feel "This reaction is so cute!"!'The inappropriate thoughts.
...I was indeed devoted to this girl.
Let's go
"……OK.Then I'll bother you』
The hand that I reached out to hold was even higher than I thought.
Thinking about it carefully, when she was lingering just now, her body was no different from usual.
So maybe your body temperature will not be different.
But then again, compared to before, her body always feels sticky...
No, now is not the time to think about "that thing".
I held Philea's hand and opened the hotel door that had not been opened for a long time.
Huh?That's not...
But she hasn't...
Saint, your appearance...
As we quickly rushed to the city representative, we heard these sounds.
Everyone who knows Philea's situation can't hide her surprise after seeing her.
Not to mention the reactions of the soldiers who had gone to the battlefield with us.
But despite this, I still haven't let go of Philea's hand.
『……』
Since Philea is willing to come with me.
Then I naturally cannot let down her trustworthy eyes.
In order not to let regret happen again, I
Great, he's there
It didn't take long before we found the urban representative who hadn't seen each other.
I was worried that he would stay in the office.
Fortunately, when we arrived, it happened that someone else was doing things with his subordinates outside. His Highness Drast...?Are you okay?
I noticed my urban representative and walked towards us.
He could feel his concern for me in his tone.
Seeing his attitude, I wanted to ask him to explain clearly that there should be no problem.
Are you still worried about me?
After all, they all lost their close lover.It's strange if you don't have it like you
A straightforward answer full of his style.
...So, how to explain it.
In any case, it would be difficult to continue without letting him see Philea's current situation first.
However, when I was about to explain, Philea hid behind me and refused to come out.
"...This looks so shameful."
No problem.Everyone will be very happy to see it
The urban representative who looked behind me with a puzzled look was immediately shocked.
But this is also natural.
Because Philea not only floated lightly in the air, but her whole body was also translucent.
His Highness Dedrast, can you please explain clearly to me, what is going on?
certainly.Just as I was lying in the hotel, she suddenly appeared in front of me.Then
I told everything in detail.
Ah, not all, and the part when Philea first appeared was still retained.
After all, the private matters between men and women cannot be described clearly.
Not only considering Philea, I personally don’t want to talk about it.
Is it a girl who is still with the brave even after death?
After listening to my explanation, this sentence came to the mouth of the city representative.
Then he said to Philea:
His Highness Philea, first of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.If you weren't here, we wouldn't be able to talk like we are now
He also expressed his gratitude just the day after Philea and I arrived at Nerisford.
Although I am also grateful, this time she saved thousands of people, which is completely different from the little credit she saved me last time.
And the credit was more than that, she even took away the large-scale demon clan equivalent to the legion level.
"That... because after the body became like this, the memory began to become blurred.So please tell me the details of that battle?』
Is this actually happening?
"Yes, I still vaguely remember that the only battle was left was quite tragic, and... I died there."
Philea lost most of the memory of that battle.
To be more precise, what she left was just a few fragments of memory.
Although I still don’t know the details of what impact will be on the human body after losing the body.
But at least the memory of my life doesn't seem to be able to recall it all.
In this way, is it true that "not knowing the cause of my death"?
"Yes.But I think the situation of the war is so serious that even if someone dies in battle... I even die there myself, it is actually nothing strange.
...The urban representative looked at me with a troubled expression.
It seems that he also knows the cause of Philea's death.
Just after you die, the light emitted by your body covers the entire battlefield
"The whole battlefield?"』
That's right, after the light faded, we were already standing on the grassland near the suburbs of Nerisford.Later I heard that all the demon kings who were involved in the battlefield were eliminated.
"So that's it... I probably understand why everyone is so enthusiastic about me."
Everyone should be grateful far beyond Philea's imagination.
I still remember those people who were on the battlefield the moment before. Although they didn’t know what happened, everyone was a miracle!', 'This is a miracle Ah' shouted.
After all, what happened at that time was a real "miracle".Everyone present at that time... No, maybe even the residents of this city are. It is impossible for everyone to speak ill of you.
"If this is the case, my death is still worth a bit."
This can only be considered a "something".You have bought a lot of precious time for all mankind
We don't have much time left.
If we consider the extraordinary strength of the Demon King Army and do not gather all the power and wisdom, human beings will definitely perish.
What Philea won for sacrificing her body this time was such precious time.
Feel sorry.It's obviously no longer the time to cheat...
...I'm so stupid.
The pain of losing Philea actually made me not realize what she left for everyone.
Through that battle, don’t I know what a powerful opponent the Demon King Army is?
No, I actually knew it earlier, as early as the first time when I was in the devil's duel.
His Highness Draster
I looked up and looked at the city representative.
The one who smiled at me there was a capable gentleman who was a very old man who had been several rounds.
His Highness Draster, to be honest, I didn't really think of you at the beginning
So that's the case?
Yes.When you first met you, not only were you surrounded by three women, but you also had powerful powers that I could not imagine...
I still remember... "Are people like this who have been bathed in glory for the rest of their lives actually our bravery?"'That was what I thought before
What he said...maybe it is right.
Since I was born, no matter what I wanted to do, I started it easily and immediately, never knowing what the word "failure" is.
Moreover, I have a very good relationship with people. Not only do I have many same-sex friends, but I also have cute girls.
Now that I look back and think about it carefully, I actually vaguely realize that I am a special existence.
But this confidence only lasts 'that moment'.
The Demon King, the man who took away everything I have.
Whether it is an important partner, a close lover, or the driving force for the battle, everything was taken away by him.
The so-called "pigs and sheep change color overnight" refers to this.
And after meeting you with His Highness Philea, I changed...
"This man, who is called a brave man, is also so obsessed with this level... "I felt much more at ease.
At this time, what the city representative showed might be a jealous smile.
The expression on his face is something I have never seen before, so that I can understand it easily.
So just after seeing the revived look of His Highness Draster, I think the women who are following the brave should be women like His Highness Philea.
...There is nothing wrong.There is no other choice.Even if death separates us, my love for her will last forever and will never stop until death.
『Hey!?』
Our conversation surprised Philea.
I obviously had skin kinship with her every night before she died, but did not convey these feelings to her?
This made me feel a little unwilling.
...Maybe for her, all this behavior is just to help me heal my wounds.
His Highness Draster is more like a human being now
Like a person?
The brave man of humanity should be like a human being. Don’t you think so?
This wise man, who is older than me, is trying to make me understand this truth.
That's right, I'm a human.
It is precisely because it is human that we have the idea of fighting for girls.
Not fighting as a brave man, but as a selfish man.
Representative, please stop calling me a respectful title in the future
OK, Draster.Next time we have time, let's have another drink
certainly!
I don’t know what happened, but I always feel like I feel relieved.
Philea looked at us who were interacting so much, showing an interesting expression.
Could it be that she is also interested in the friendship between men?
Back to the topic, I won’t explain some details carefully.After that battle, cooperation between countries became closer
"is that so?』
Well, we fought with the Demon King Army with such a huge army, but the result was no different from a crushing defeat.This must have aroused a sense of crisis in neighboring countries.
If you want to make it clearer.
Because there were a large number of powerful generals present at that time.
Among those from all over the world, perhaps a lot of people who speak influentially may be involved, so no matter how negative they are, after seeing the fate of those fierce generals and the defeat, all countries in the world have to face up to the threat brought by the Demon King Army.
In addition, thanks to His Highness Philea, the current combat power of the Demon King Army has been more or less weakened."If we want to defeat those guys, we only have the opportunity to do so now." I think anyone knows this fact
Simply put, what does everyone want to take advantage of the weak Demon King Army to compete for opportunities?
『Ah~... So that's how it is Ah』
Philea looked unfair.
Although I really respect the ideas of those big names, let me think from their perspective.
In fact, although my performance as a brave man is remarkable, it is only a handful of large-scale combat operations that can be regarded as such in the army.
If it is not for its own benefit, no country would be willing to respond actively.
The country that took the lead in defeating the Demon King must have gained a strong influence in the post-war world.
But the Demon King Army and the others are not easily defeated.
Although the reward is so tempting because they are not easily defeated, this is an opponent that may not be able to defeat even if they give all the strength of the country...
No, it should be said that it is an opponent that cannot be won.
But now, unexpected situations have happened.
In the case where the Demon King Army is no longer so powerful, perhaps the people in power in those countries will think that it would be too ignorant to not invest in combat power at this time.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is, reinforcements sent by various countries are gathering in our city, Nerisford.
For us, this situation is of course the best.
But on the contrary, if you can't even win the Demon King's Army like this, you will actually be nowhere to go from the demise of human beings.
It can be said to be a real battle.
Dlast, next I said as a friend.Take Philea away and escape to a safe place to live, which is another option for you
……
As a brave man who has made great contributions to you, you have made great contributions.
What he said...maybe it is not wrong.
I can't imagine how big the war that is about to break out will be.
It was a super battle where no matter how hard I worked on myself, it had nothing to do with the overall victory or defeat.
"Even if you are missing, the result will not change."
That's what he wants to express.
I looked at Philea, who was standing beside me.
She had told me before.
Even if I want to escape to the ends of the world, no matter what choice I make, she will follow me without leaving me.
This is what she showed me.
So even if I escape here, Philea will be willing to go with me.
Just by imagining this charming future, I couldn't help but feel excited.
But it is precisely because of this... I can't escape.
But the Demon King will not make us live so well.I know this very well, who has lost to him twice
It means...you still want to fight again?
It's Ah... If I don't use these hands to get rid of the Demon King, I will probably spend my life forever in fighting and killing.
Should I say it is my ominous premonition?
Even if you escape now, you will probably end up "forcing yourself to death".
So I won't escape.
...It's not like that.
Actually, I'm scared.
I am afraid of losing this girl who is unwilling to separate from me no matter how she looks.
So, I can't stand the fact that the guys who want to take Philea away are still alive in the world.
Whether it is the Demon King or the Demon Clan, if I don’t completely eliminate them all in one day, I will not be able to live a peaceful life for a day.
If this relationship is to be expressed in words... I think it is "revenge".
I gradually became cold and I was also self-conscious.
"The guys who took Philea's life should all die"
This is my reason for action... I have completely deviated from the path of bravery.
But it doesn't matter. A guy like me who can't even protect his lover is only worthy of doing this kind of thing.
I see.Then we have something to ask you
What is it?
Draster, you hope to be like before, as a brave man, to become a spiritual symbol that unites everyone.
I had this plan...
I originally planned to go to the front line even if I lose my name as a brave man and kill all the guys in front of me.
This is the best position for a guy who wants to avenge his lover.
Then since His Highness Philea is back now, I hope you can share this position together.
"Am I?"』
Yes.Although I really panicked when I first met you, if I think about it carefully, this might be a godsend opportunity
It sounds…it's exactly that.
Philea saved many lives and also destroyed a large number of enemy troops.
Considering the results she received from sacrificing her life, it can be said to be quite consistent as a spiritual symbol.
In addition, her conspicuous appearance is all the best conditions.
Based on your current appearance, use the elves...well, since it is a divine spirit, then use the name of the Holy Spirit to promote it...will you accept it?
Holy Spirit.
This saint sacrificed her life to save her partner.
But after losing his body, he has appeared again and returned to the present world.
How could this exist in the eyes of the world?
...As a spiritual symbol, there is nothing more suitable than her.
Especially in this city where there are many warriors alongside us, it may even be worshipped as a goddess.
Even though it seemed that Philea had noticed this, she was still staring at me for a while and showed her gentle smile.
Then he said to the city representative:
"I see.The Holy Spirit Philea here re-declares that she will fight for Lord Drast!』
I once again got the chance to protect this girl.
Whether it is the Demon King, the Demon Clan, or the girls I once loved...
I won't let go of any of them.
