Shouldn’t you go to prison at least once before you die? (1)

Chenin, who came here wearing high-heeled shoes that were dangerous even on a dirt road, and valued her dignity even if she was going to die soon, eventually fell asleep with her cheek on the table.

Evan, who couldn’t bear to watch her, came back after carrying her and putting her on the bed in his room.

“I don’t know what I just heard.”

“Same with me.”

The conversation couldn’t continue as we were immersed in our own thoughts.

According to Chenin, it was very dangerous to accuse Count Abitz, who was trusted by the Emperor, now that Guernia is dead and the exact location of the magic tools containing blood is not known exactly.

Not only that, but it would be even more so if the core of it was the Saint. In the aftermath, the villagers of Sezaine related to Chenin could die all at once.

I couldn’t understand what the hell the Saint was thinking of doing such a thing. The scale of what she does is amazing because she grew up in the hands of the demon king and the heavenly deity.

I gave a stinging glance to one of her babysitters, the culprit(?). Merson flinches and lowers his head to the floor.

“Ah, you guys also had a problem to solve.”

Taking my gaze in a different meaning, Evan slowly begins to notice the two of us.

“Have a good talk. I’m going to have a morning drink.”

Evan, who had his room occupied by Chenin and has nowhere to go, is reduced to being homeless. He won’t be able to lie down and fall asleep anyway, so he says it’s fine and goes outside. He kindly closed the door on his way out.

As Evan exited, the air changed. There is an awkward silence. His presence next to me felt so great that I couldn’t even lift a finger properly.

“I’m sorry, Erina.”

“What should I think of you?”

I’ve already concluded that he is Merson in my heart, and my body is treating him the same way… but It’s a silly question.

“Anything.”

“Fine. I’ll change the question, why did you lie?”

“Erina, because you are anxious. It felt like you would disappear if I told the truth.”

It’s true that I was anxious. At first, I was afraid that as soon as he found his memory, he was going to kill me, and the next I was afraid that he would leave me without regret. When I only thought about it, I hoped to leave a good memory. But in the corner of my heart, no, deep inside, I hoped not.

“… Didn’t you hate me?”

“How would I?”

“I messed you up.”

“I don’t think so. Rather, I was happy that Erina became my companion.”

This punk, he knows I’m his companion did he? I feel a little heated.

I took Merson’s hand and dragged him to sit on the bed. Because he was so tall it made my neck hurt to look up. Then I stood in front of him and continued to ask questions.

“You tried to kill me. But how can you say that you’re happy I’m your companion now?”

“I tried denying it too, but it didn’t work. Hearing Erina’s compliments makes me smile, and I want to keep listening to it, and want to be by your side.”

Can you stop saying that casually? I’m so ashamed!

“Later on, I thought that anything would be fine, whether I am the Demon King or Merson, as long as I could be by Erina’s side. But Erina likes Merson and seems to be comfortable with it. So I made a decision that ‘I will live like this for the rest of my life.’”

“Are you crazy? You could be annihilated!”

“I won’t be annihilated.”

“That again.”

“I am pretty, very strong. More than Erina thinks.”

“…….”

Oh, even that self-confidence. Merson kept saying, ‘I am strong’ like saying the obvious thing without changing the color of his face. Firmly, without a gap.

“Even if I come down to the human world and play around for a thousand years, it’s okay.”

At a glance, I heard someone say, “Because Raynon’s ability is also great.” It wasn’t exactly accurate in short, but I think that meaning is roughly correct. He would have a lot of trouble under a boss who keeps playing around.

Yes, let’s assume that the other demons faithfully fulfill the duties in place of the absent Demon King after conceding 100 times, and Merson, who is a very good man, is strong enough to have no time to weaken even if he plays around for the rest of his life.

“But why me?”

My heart hurts just imagining it… I’m not even the Saint, and I don’t know why he fell for me.

“I just like you.”

“That’s it?”

“God has talked about it before. ‘Even if you are an insolent brat, you will meet your fate that will crush your arrogance with just one finger.’”

“Umm… What does that even mean? So, is that me?”

“No, God is wrong. You don’t even have to lift a finger. Even if you just stare at me like this, I will collapse endlessly and become ready to give everything to you.”

“…….”

“I feel like I exist to love Erina.”

Whoosh–

Spitting out such an embarrassing comment with such a serious face! I was defeated completely in a defenseless state. My ears felt hot and I hurriedly cupped both ears.

“Shut, shut up! Let me tell you, on that day… The day we first met three years ago. If I died because of you, it would have been very unfair, so I would have visited your dreams all night. I’ve never heard of or seen anything about the demon’s body!”

“I found out later. There is really nothing in Erina’s body except for my unawakened magical powers.”

What is this feeling, is he like saying ‘no talent’? No, wait… With the magical power mentioned, it suddenly reminds me of a certain ‘excuse’ that I struggled with.

“So you didn’t lose your memory?”

“It came back in two months to be exact.”

“Right, anyway. That means everything has been restored.”

“…….”
