Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle - Chapter 209

"Why are you here? I don't suppose you've been searching for magic reactions again."

It was a word that came out of his mouth aggressively, but Phoenix looked decent.

…… Again?I don't know, but I can't do that. "

"Ah... ah, ah, that's right.Bad. "

I realize how crazy I am when I'm told.

Yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Besides, I think Lemé contacted me.

Yeah, that's right.

Yes, I did... I remembered that there was a Phoenix workplace in one of the castles of the Demon King, and I contacted him.

Did Phoenix come straight from work, dressed like a [priest]?

"Are you okay? If something's wrong, why don't we take a look?

[Priest] He also has White Magic aptitude.

I think it's a good [job title (job)] for a heart-friendly Phoenix that understands people's pain.

"No, it's not fun to see a man."

"Reme... it's not about men and women."

"Is that what this is about? You'll be thrilled when a beautiful woman comes, won't you?

"It's okay because I trained you not to look evil in the eyes of those who came to seek salvation."

"Ahahah, do you have that kind of training?"

"Forget the joke, are you sure you're okay?I don't look good. "

"It's okay. Let's go messy."

"Ah, ahh...."

It's been a long time since we met.

Even if you say you were my best friend when I was young, that's mostly true.

But when we meet, we can talk like we used to.

We discussed the situation, laughed at each other in the old story, and ate.

"Hey, Reme. Remember that?Job Title is determined. "

"Yes, of course."

"At that time, you told me.If it's a combat [position (job)], I'll throw a party. "

I told you, I remember.

Phoenix broke his face like he missed it.

"I was delighted. You had a dream to be the best in the world, and yet you invited me."

I'm not asking you out because you're my friend.

"... is that so?

"I knew you were really strong."

"Strong?... Me?

Phoenix looked surprised.

"No matter what happens, you didn't fool anyone, and you were worried about me before you got hurt.I always thought it was awesome.I... that day... I really thought you'd be a [brave man]. "

"... that's impossible."

"Impossible...!

I've been thinking about it a lot.

[Hero], the Spirit of Fire, the Holy Sword, everything.

I think this guy deserves it.

"... was Leme better that way?

When I saw Phoenix, my costume changed.

It was the brave costume I was wearing the other day.

But after the blink of an eye, he returned to the priest's clothes.

"You're going to be the best brave man, aren't you?I support it. "

"...... ah, ahh.Thanks, Phoenix. "

"What?

"Do you like your life now?

Phoenix said nothing and smiled in trouble.

Afterwards, I had a good time talking about it again.

Break up with your best friend and return to the inn.

When will we meet next?

Maybe we'll never see each other again.

◇

I came to the tenth floor of Demon King Castle.

Dark passages.

At the back, there's something like a throne.

The magician sitting there slowly stood up.

The Magus had only one horn.

I feel like I've seen it somewhere.

It's really an ideal world.

Gu, my body is getting heavier.

Slow down ― Black magic!

Immediately try to resist.

I wanted to be a [hero].I still aim to be a brave man.But why do you think you're not immersed in the happiness of this world?

The tone of voice seemed to have changed, but I kind of heard it.

"Alba! Magic Sword!Bella, freeze!

You're not the leader of that party.

There was no reaction between them.

Turning to him, nobody was there.

"Eh?"

It was gone.

It doesn't seem to exist from the beginning.

No Aruba, no Lily, no Lark, no Bella.

Only me and the Magus are here.

Even if this world is the ideal of a child who dreams of a brave man, it is not the ideal of a [black magician] who lives for a brave man.

What are you talking about, Magus?

The Black Magus took the mask.

That was my face.

◇

How do I explain this feeling?

In my dreams, I have my own consciousness, but it's like I'm moving in my dreams regardless of that.

Finally, it's time.

I managed to show up in front of him as Remegeton.

This challenge cannot be broken without a strong heart.

I was grateful that this demon king castle, which is a strong reminder of my own life, appeared in the world of dreams.

Because my life changed, my encounter with my master and with Mira-san disappeared.

However, the Demon King Castle strategy cannot be avoided because we are aiming for the best adventurer.

And there are a lot of memories that are important to me in Demon King Castle and this city.

Thanks to this, I was able to remember my allies as I pursued my strategy.

I was inspired by my precious memories as I walked through the city.

The stack now gives me a body that moves in my dreams. [M]

I was able to have a strong mind to overcome my dreams.

Dark Mage of the Horn Remegeton is confronted.

[Flame Hero] With Reme.

The life of Lemé in this world was not without all the painful things, but full.

I am required by the world and the public has a strong interest in my activities.

I have so many children I admire that I can cheer people around the world up. [M]

Naturally, let your friends win.

An ideal world. The best environment.A wonderful life.

Still, there's a reason I wasn't swallowed. [M]

Because in reality, there are a lot of important things left behind.

More importantly, there is no such thing as a woman in this world.

There is no one to support me in [Black Mage] and show me a new dream.

Ideally, it's not perfect.

Something important is missing.

"I didn't make this dream out of my wishes.You read my mind and you made it up. "

I say to the Spirit that you will surely see.

"Indeed, I wanted to be a [brave man].It would be great if we could make a deal with the four great spirits.But... "

Fill the distance from the confused [Flame Brave] Reme.

Sigh, take a breath.

Turn all thoughts into voices.

I really wanted to tell you something.

There was something I couldn't forgive.

Look, I don't know what you're mistaken for, but...

"There's no way you want to take your best friend's seat...!

Leme takes a step back.

"You... what are you talking about?Why are you looking at me like that? "

"Meet the Master!Have a good day with Phoenix!With Cash! With Mira!There's no way I could have never had all the encounters I've had since I entered Demon King Castle!

"What are you talking about? What are you doing...."

"You don't have to live the future you imagined when you were a kid!I never wanted to deny my life!You don't have to live in your ideals!Everything that matters to me is real!

"No (...)!"

Reme screamed.

I scream in a hurry to live my dream. [M]

He seemed to know what I was.

No, maybe he was already aware of it and pretended not to notice it.

"Are you stupid...?Have you forgotten the days since you became a Black Mage?Kids from all over the village fooled me, and my friends became only Phoenix.Adults pitied me, and my parents were sad.Even though I tried to die under my master, I was fooled all the time after the debut.You let your friends win, but you've been handling your bags for seven years.I had to hide the power of horns and black magic.Eventually, they kicked me out.The Demon King Army or the Monster Warrior?You really wanted to be an adventurer.You wanted to be number one in the world.You've been... "

Reme talks about it.

You were jealous of Phoenix.

"Of course (,,,,,,,)"

――――

"I'm not a saint, so I'm sure I regretted it.I wasn't jealous.But you're convinced.You thought Phoenix could help. "

"............"

"I'm not a brave man.But we didn't yearn for a [job].It's a way of life, isn't it? "

"No, I don't want to...."

Reme pulled out the sword.

The flame sprays up.

"Every time I'm fooled, every time I'm laughed at, it's hard enough to tear my heart apart.You hate yourself every time you laugh.Here, suffering can be separated.I admire the storm of praise.Nature makes me laugh. Why do I have to walk the life of [Black Mage]? "

He is me. [M] I know my pain better than anyone. [M]

My conflict. Things I've thought about many times in my mind.But the answer is long overdue.

Because that's who I am.

You're an idiot.

Maybe.

"Spirit...!

Grasp the sword wrapped in flame, and the lemon comes slashing.

I freed the horn and took his sword with my right arm. [M]

The Horn of the Demon King inherited from his mentor grows from his right head.

Hmm...

"Besides, I think you know that.I'm a friend of Phoenix, a rival, his fan number one. "

"......!

"He's much stronger.Your strategy won't burn (...,...) "

"I..."

"We are [Black Mage] Reme, [Black Mage of the Horn] Remegeton, [Black Mage of the Horn] Reme.I hope someday they'll call me "the best black magician."

Put strength into your arms.

The holy sword of the dream world broke apart lightly.

"So let's go back."

I noticed that the lemon was smaller.

It was me when I was ten.

"I want to be a brave man."

"... yeah"

"I want to have an adventure that will make someone's life as exciting as I am."

"... I know."

Can you be a Black Magus ?

"Well, I don't know.But... no matter what kind of [job (job)] you are, you can't give up, right?

When I was ten years old, I still smiled with a crying face.

"... it's only natural that you should give up... because you're not dressed well."

I laugh too. I'm sure you have the same face.

"That's me."

Reach out to him.

When I was a kid, I grabbed Lemegeton's hand.

"Be a brave man.No matter how long it takes, make your dreams come true.Don't look at me asleep. "
