Does she leave the house? (1) – unedited

“I am completely fooled. How foolish and funny I must have looked all this time.”

“No.”

“The ax that I trusted has chopped my feet.”

“I’m sorry.”

“I don’t even know how… No, that’s okay. You…….”

Erina couldn’t continue her words, she hesitated for a moment. And in the words that followed, he felt an unfathomable distance.

“So you’re Kayle, not Merson?”

Merson couldn’t say yes or no. However, he couldn’t even reach out and hug her like before. Without doing anything, he just stood there like he was nailed to the spot and stared at Erina.

The truth came without warning, like a thunderbolt from the dry sky. Because a simple piece of cake couldn’t satisfy my hunger, and I didn’t have enough patience to wait for Merson… Because of that, I had to face an unexpected truth that I could never have imagined.

Unlike usual, a quiet air circulated on the inn floor. Everyone seemed to be locked in their rooms, like people possessed by magic.

Soon, an unpleasant voice pierced the silence.

“Are you telling the girl the truth?”

An unforgettable voice. It was the heavenly deity.

When she came down all the stairs, it looked like the heavenly deity had been beaten so badly in the face that it turned to mush. Even with his ugly look, Merson wanted to give him a few more blows.

It was. At first, I thought of running as hard as I could to the heavenly deity and kicking him in the side.

“That trick doesn’t work.”

After Merson’s words, the heavenly deity’s eyes turn to me. As our gazes met, he gave a sneaky sly smile.

“Yes, sure. Will the girl stay by your side even after knowing your petty lie?”

My footsteps stop

Lie?

Unlike the first time, I slowly started to hear their conversation.

“I am surprised that she believes in the absurd performance of you losing your memory. No matter how you look at it, you’re a great Demon King.”

“…….”

“Since when? When the lie started. Um, since you disappeared after the Bennon Massacre, I guess three years? 3 years is a very long time for humans. Do you think she will understand you for deceiving her by pretending to have lost your memory for three years, even though you know everything?”

“It’s none of your business.”

And I… I was really struck by lightning.

Merson looked at me with a tense, grim look like it was the end-of-the-world. Perhaps I would look the same to him.

The anxiety, nervousness, and guilt that I had for the past three years have become nothing more than a mockery. The lies that I had spewed out because I wanted to be a proud person to Merson came back as a strong sense of shame. The image of him that I thought was innocent and knew nothing was completely distorted.

Who have I been spending time with so far?

Confusion. Followed by a series of chaos. What percentage of our 3 years is the truth? What feelings and thoughts did the man in front of me treat me with?

I was proud to know everything about Merson, but now that everything has been overturned… I got a little scared

“So you’re Kayle, not Merson?”

I desperately wanted to deny it. Merson’s consciousness is taking a break, and Kayle came out now. All the three years I believed in weren’t all lies.

But, funny enough, ‘Kayle’ is talking to me with a Merson-like expression, just like ‘Merson’. ‘It’s me, Merson.’

Lots of cakes and bread scattered around. Even if I ate a good amount, that amount was too much. Even if I ate only those things for three days and nights, I couldn’t eat them all.

Was he also the Merson played by Cale, who did everything for me if I wanted to do anything, even in a slightly ignorant way?

My head, my mind was completely in disarray.

“I’ll explain everything, Erina. Don’t leave.”

“…….”

I picked up a wooden chair and approached him. Merson looked at me as I approached him, then closed his eyes and stood resolutely.

Then I lifted the chair at head height and slammed it down with all my might.

WHAM-

The sound was loud enough, and I flinched at the louder sound than I thought, but I didn’t stop and hit it twice more. Eventually, the leg of the chair broke and rolled across the floor.

“Ugh! What is it all about? I thought you were being tricked, so I helped.”

El, who took a direct hit from my chair slam, started questioning me, spitting blood out of his mouth.

“I never asked for help. I wish I never had to see you again. If I had become the Demon King rather than a normal, petite ordinary citizen, I would have torn your body to pieces right away, then stitched it back together, then tore it again, and finally I would throw you to the beasts.”

“You’re just like the companion.”

“Shut up! Go now. Thanks to you, everything is messed up.”

I personally opened the entrance door to the inn with magic. The heavenly deity stumbled and takes a few steps, then suddenly falls to the ground.

“I want to go too, but your husband made me like this. Magic is impossible when I have no energy.”

“Then you can just stay there.”

I turned away from the two and returned to the room. Urgent thumping footsteps came after me, and sure enough, Merson entered.

My emotions were so high that I kept crying with a hiccup and pulled my aching body over the coat to cover my nightgown. It was uncomfortable to be with Merson. Rather than acting because of my thoughts, emotions that my mind could not control were moving my body.

“I am not Kayle. I’m Merson.”

“…….”

“I will live the way Erina wants.”

“…….”
