Once upon a time - there was a fierce battle between the human world and the demon king's army.
The battle, which lasted for several decades, is called the Demon King's War.
At the end of that war, the brave men of that time defeated the Demon King and his entourage, and a truce was signed between the humans and the demon tribe.
Since then, there has been no war between humans and demons for more than 100 years.
Nevertheless, there have been plenty of cases of subordinate demons attacking humans, and it is certain that the demon tribe as a whole is trying to take over the human world whenever they have the chance.
I mean, even in the game storyline of “El Cid,” from the middle of the game onward, it is a battle between the protagonists and the newborn Demon Lord's army.
“What's wrong with ......, Raven?"
Matilda raised her eyebrows.
“You look so serious,” she said
”No, I will be careful about the demons. Even though there is a cease-fire agreement, humans and demons used to be enemies. Matilda, be careful.“
“ hmmm. I'm going back to my house now.“
Matilda said.
“‘Well, I'd better get going . I'll see you soon, Kisara.“
“Yes, by all means.“
Kisara smiled happily at Mathilda.
As I looked at the two of them, I was formulating an idea in my head.
If I defeat Balm Gale.
No, I would defeat it no matter what it takes.
After Matilda left, I went to my room to think.
Currently, the human realm and the demon realm have a cease-fire agreement in place.
So, if I were to kill a demon, it would be a big problem.
It is a so-called diplomatic issue.
Therefore, it is not enough to simply kill Balm Gale.
The evidence of the killing must not be left behind.
Incidentally, Balm Gale is a nefarious foe who has slaughtered many humans in the game.
So I can take them down without hesitation.
“Am I right in my thinking that ...... is the way to go?”
But at this point in time, Balm Gale hasn't done anything, right?
Hmmm ...... what's going on?
I felt my thoughts falter.
'Master Raven, if you don't mind?“
'Very well.'
There is a knock at the door and Kisara enters.
'Is something wrong?“
'No, Master Raven, the other day, you seemed somewhat thoughtful .......'
Kisara looks at me.
“I just got worried, that's all."
You came to see me?”
‘
I chuckled.
“I'm fine, Kisara.
...... really?”
Kisara was still staring at me.
I was feeling like she could see right through me, so I looked away.
“You see, that ...... is Raven-sama's habit when you lie.“
“Huh?”
“When I stare at you, you look away, Raven-sama.“
“Oh, is that so?"
“I have been your caretaker for many years.“
Kisara smiled.
Hmmm, I can't compete there.
Chuckling inwardly, I smiled,
“I just needed to think about something, you know. Don't worry about it.”
I smiled back at her.
“Is there anything I can help you with, Master Raven?“
Kisara asked.
'If you're feeling broken for any reason, ...... I'd like to help you get rid of it.'
'Kisara--'
'I am only a maid, but I have served by your side all these years, and I am always concerned about you.'
It was a kind smile.
Yeah, no one had ever smiled like this at me in a previous life.
So - I felt my heart warmed by her thoughtfulness.
“No, I have to solve all this on my own.”
'...... I see.
'It just makes me feel lighter when I hear you speak to me like that. Thank you, Kisara.”
I put my hand on her shoulder.
''Master Raven, .......''
Kisara's eyes narrowed as if entranced.
'Please remember. I - Kisara is by your side, no matter what happens to you, Raven-sama. “
“Thank you, Kisara."
--Then I made a decision.
First, I'm going to go meet with Balm Gale.
Then I will decide what to do.
To change my future, my doomed future.
