Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World Chapter 37

Intermission: The Ruin after the Conclusion and the Emptiness before the Beginning

Going back to few hours just before Soma and others went on a journey…

It was a place where Soma did whatever he pleased, and as a result of their departure, the place turned to ruin.

There was not even a single appearance there, but…

There was one thing that visited such a place.

"Hmm, although I have woken up, it seemed that there was nothing I had to do. To say it simply, it was easy, but rather it reflect the reputation, is it?  Is there no such thing for me now? Well, it seems so. Well, it is not unusual to think about this for a while. I bother to come back here because I thought so." (??)

The one that muttered alone was a small shadow.

No matter what one thought about that person, it was nothing but a child… No.

In fact, the girl was sighing when she looked at the surroundings.

"Anyhow, it seems nothing remain here as I expected. It is obvious, of course. I thought of giving present to him, but… eh? Did he return something he had? No, no, he probably had a chance to hand it over, but at that time… eh? In the first place, he is not interested in such things? … It is for certain. I guess this was thoughtless." (??)

She dropped her shoulders while seriously disappointed, and she even let more sigh.

Somehow, she thought that this meant something.

However, no matter where she went to, nothing was changed. It was totally a meaning labor.

"Uwaah, there is nothing to be said, isn't it? I can be seriously depressed… probably. Eh, why would I say 'probably'? Well, I don't really know well about myself. I don't know information other than what was given to me, and they didn't include me in the first beginning anyway." (??)

Although she was quite indifferent when saying that, it was not known whether the sentiment was true or not.

She looked around again without caring too much. And then, she stretched out one more time.

"Well, it turned out to be meaningless, so I guess I should head back. It seemed that I won't be too late, and I can make it in time. …Eh? Is that fine? Indeed. To be honest, it's not good, but it can't be helped. I will look forward to the next time I wake up." (??)

As she said so, whether she really looked forward to it or not, she was smiling.

For such a time to arrive, it wasn't something that she could look forward to it.

"Eh, that's not true, you know? If that time comes, I can probably talk to him next time. I am looking forward to it, you know… eh? I am going to be cut by him? Hmm, well that is possible if it is him, but it will be interesting." (??)

It wasn't an interesting matter at all, but regardless of that, she still found it very interesting.

She started to walk with a smile on her face.

"Now, now, what kind of situation will be for the next time? It won't be necessary, but I don't mind that at all." (??)

Perhaps… that was her true intention.

But at the same time, she wasn't wishing for it.

So…

"Yes, I know. Everything is for this world, right? And I was born for that reason. I understand that well, you know. That's why, I will properly fulfill my duty next time." (??)

She closed her mouth at once, and she opened a part of her mind to emphasize that.

And…

"…as a ruler of Mankind." (??)

Her duty and the meaning of her existence were described by those words.

There was a throne at a certain country.

However, the time had already passed for quite some time since the sunset, and it should be regarded as late at night.

Originally, there shouldn't be any figure there.

But if that logic was ignored, there was one shadow.

No…

There were two shadows there.

"Hmm… and then, we will attack them during that gap… No, we will regain it back. It is such a thing, is it?" (??)

"Yes, it is." (??)

"…But, is such a thing really possible?" (??)

"Well." (??)

"… Oi." (??)

Such a word was thrown to one of the shadows by a man who was sitting on a throne, but he raised his voice again while squinting the eyes and hiding the eyebrows.

However, if it was a normal person, the woman would be trembling when he squinted his eyes, but she just shrugged the shoulders.

It completely didn't work well on that woman.

Moreover, his face and the whole body were covered with black robe, and she couldn’t notice him since the beginning.

"Even if you threaten me, I do not know something that I do not know. I will do what I should do, but I will not take responsibility whether it is possible for you to do after that." (Woman)

"Hmm… if that's the case, say it soon. And that worry is needless. There is no way we can lose to them." (Man)

"Although you let them free, you can't attack them now, right?" (Woman)

"…!" (Man)

With the sound of teeth screeching, the line of sight that was likely to kill people was directed, but it wasn't that much after all.

And she let out a small sigh.

"Even if you look at me with such eyes, it is the truth, right?" (Woman)

"I understand even if you don't tell me…! Damn, if that guy… if that guy is not there…!" (Man)

"That may be the case, but I can't help saying it. First of all, it is the matter of national defense, and you also can't move over there." (Woman)

"I told you that I understand that, right!? Besides, I wonder how you are going to do it this time…!" (Man)

"It is completely troubling when you told me to do it for you guys. I have my own purpose, and I will not do more than that." (Woman)

"Hmm… is that resurrection planned for Him because he was sealed in the past? (Recheck) You can't be honest, huh?" (Man) (Recheck)

"That's fine. You overlook what I did. In fact, all you have to do is to attack him after that happens." (Woman)

"Even if that is true, there is really nothing other than attacking him, huh?" (Man)

"That's too verbose. Although I am annoyed with your way of saying, no matter how many times we say this, I swear by my name as a Demon. In the first place, our real purpose is what happened earlier in that place. And, I don't have the time to be bothered with you." (Woman)

"Hmmph, I wonder…" (Man)

The man seemed didn't trust her words from the beginning, but it was justifiable.

Although this was like a secret meeting, they seemed to be hostile to each other.

It wasn't possible to trust each other.

"Well, it's fine. If you are lying, I will destroy you." (Man)

"Isn't that my line too?" (Woman)

While snorting to each other, the shadow turned her back.

Since the things needed to be confirmed had ended, there was no reason to meet face to face each other.

While the shadow disappeared as if it melted in the darkness… silence began to spread in that place, and the man was the only person remained.

The man looked at the darkness for a short while where the shadow disappeared, and… before long, he snorted again.

"Hmmph… to believe the fairy-tale that the King was destroyed in the past, is she a Demon after all? But if those guys make fuss over there, I guess I just need to follow the flow. It doesn't matter whether they fail or not. …Yup, even if I have to use those guys… this time, we will make sure that He will return. For our land and those ignorant fools." (Man)

As he said so, the man, Veritas XIII, the King of the Veritas Kingdom, had his mouth distorted while delightedly imagine about that moment.

TLN:

The author admitted that this chapter had meaningless talk. I might make mistake on the second part of the chapter because the way the woman and the man talks were inconsistent. Please let me know.
