Father says nothing and stares at me. I want to believe that it's not just stunned emotions that dwell in those eyes.
The silence falls in the room. Maybe less than thirty seconds. But for me, it felt like an hour or two.
My facial muscles are about to cramp, and my back gets cold and sweaty.
Father hummed, as he kept his smile unbroken.
"……All right"
okay!?
I had to say it, but I thought I would be dismissed. Of course, I did not intend to give up once or twice, but I was full of depression.
"The plan itself is not that bad."
Are you serious! Yay!!
I want to jump up and rejoice, but in the mind of my father, I sing forever. He holds on to his stagnant hands, but his mouth is probably loose.
"But it takes a considerable amount of time to get it right. It would take about five years to start with a rush, and it would take decades for everything to work smoothly from end to end. I need time. ''
"Yes. I think it's worth a hundred years."
She nodded, and my father's eyes were lightly surprised.
After staring at my face, I looked up at my eyes.
"You are really a funny girl"
I also make my eyes round.
I wasn't particularly upset because I was getting used to being rude to my face.
"I thought that it would bite even if I said five years, not just ten years, but I'm not talking about a hundred years ahead. There is no precedent, and it is inexplicable to assert that something is still worthwhile, even if its shape is still unclear, as well as your poor explanation. The mouthfeel you can draw inside, as if you had already seen the actual thing. "
Yabu snake.
The two characters emerged in the head.
You can see that the head is rotating more than ever before. But in my brain, which was making noises and noises, no good excuse came out.
what will you do. what should I do.
If you tell this person everything, you can't believe it, and I don't want to say it at all. The risk is too great and I simply hate it. I still don't know what my father is thinking at all, and I'm not good at being honest.
But that's not the case.
What should I do if I have to confide without regard to my will?
However, whether or not I knew my fears, my father did not ask why.
"Well, it's not new that your story is inconsistent."
Speaking of that, my father got up from the sofa.
I was confused by the attitude of saying that it was all this far. My father glances at me looking up with embarrassment on my face. He was asked to "follow me" with his eyes.
When he gets up without knowing the translation, he notices that his father is heading to the adjacent small room. This is where the books of the Demon King are stored.
Maybe you are going to relocate and interrogate carefully.
I came to this point, and stop once. However, there is no point in stopping. The same is true if you run away. At a later date, a more severe interrogation will be waiting.
My father looks back on me standing up. His eyes unlocked and his hands on the doorknob speak eloquently. "Do you think you can escape?"
A retro game screen is played in your head.
Rosemary sneaks out
But I was surrounded!
That's right, boss fighting is fundamental, you can't escape.
I vomited my throbbing feeling in my chest, and with a half laugh, I started walking again.
The room that I entered for the first time in a long time is still plainly decorated, but there were some differences from the previous one. A number of books are stacked on a desk, and one is left open.
Dad knew he wasn't very meticulous, but he shouldn't be sloppy so far. Maybe I was reading a book here just before I came.
Dad sits on the couch and points next to him.
When I sat quietly next to me, I saw an open page of a book thrown out at my desk. Not only letters but also figures ... something like a magic circle is drawn.
"Is it a magic circle to seal the Demon King?"
He asked his book with his eyes turned, and he shook his head.
"No, no. It has another use. It's a prototype."
Another use?
The book was closed with my father's hand before I asked a question.
"It's more about it than that."
"!"
Kita !!
Shake your shoulders and stretch your back.
Neither escape nor close your eyes, watch your father open his mouth with hopelessness.
"About the Devil"
…… Oh?
My father's main subject was different from what I expected.
"The seal has not been opened at this time, but no one knows how long it will last. Accident or intentional. In any case, the seal will be opened someday."
The flow of the story has not been fully grasped, but nods.
It is too dangerous to believe that nothing will happen tomorrow just because it is all right now. "Eternity" and "perfection" are impossible for humans.
"But both the predecessor and the predecessor continued to keep their eyes away from the Demon King's presence. I guess he didn't want to poke down and imitate a sleeping child. I can no longer do it. "
"……What does that mean"
The story began to flow in a disturbing direction.
During my mouth, my father answered.
"A raptor interrogator wanders near the border of Japan."
"... Raptor?"
The Raptor Kingdom, located northeast of Japan, was an enemy country in the game. It's hard to say that it's a good relationship, but there's no apparent conflict.
"It looks like you're looking for something."
If you hear what you are looking for and ask what it is.
In the current situation, only "Maou" can come to mind.
"Why?" Asked the obvious question.
"Dunno"
Dad spit out with a sigh, apparently saying he was not interested.
"Do you think you can be foolish or have another use? I don't care what the reason is, but it's important to find out before them and take the appropriate steps."
"Yes"
I don't know what the Raptor is thinking, but if I ever find the Demon King, it could be the worst.
"But the location of the demon king is unknown. Even if I look up the book from the end, nothing is written."
Did you fear that someone would break the seal by writing?
Or has the written book itself been lost over a long period of time?
Either way, you're in a bad state.
I thought so far and felt my gaze for some reason. Looking up diagonally, my father and my gaze collide.
…… Why are they being watched?
There is only a bad feeling.
"... what?"
"No. Remember that there was a daughter in Japan who was using the help of Leonhardt to explore Kosokoso and near the border."
Pupa, on purpose ...
You knew everything, and you probably brought out this story! What's the reaction you just noticed !!
"Why don't you ask me why?"
Thank you. But I didn't mind being grateful.
Even, that should n’t be enough. What is the price?
The father narrowed his eyes, looking at me, who was also alert.
"Instead, find the thing and bring it home."
My father asked for "Demon King".
As usual, devils are too much.
