Chapter 99
I transferred to the hidden room in the underwater cave .
In the centre of the room, Eleonor is still floating in the holy water ball .
“Wow . Wele Arnos-kun . ” (Eleonor)
Eleonor weled me with a laugh and a smile .
“Things have bee a bit troublesome . ” (Arnos)
“I know . Has Azeshion declared war on Deiruheido?” (Eleonor)
I nod .
“My fake Avos Dillheavia appeared in Deiruheido . It seems his intention is to meet the Gairadeite demon king subjugation force on the fields of battle . ” (Arnos)
“… . . Is that so . ” (Eleonor)
“Avos is raising an army and heading to the border with Azeshion . ” (Arnos)
“That’s quick . Were the soldiers gathering already?” (Eleonor)
“No, but Avos took the lead and left for the front showing them he would fight alone . They may live in a peaceful world now but they are not cowards who would let the founder go alone so mazoku from all over the country have rallied to him . ” (Arnos)
The demon king subjugation army has been preparing for some time so of course they are quick . The heroes gathering from all over Azeshion have been absorbed into the army and are marching on the border as well .
It’s all part of the plan .
“I can still let you go . ” (Arnos)
This is a good opportunity since the hero academy is focused on the demon king of tyranny .
“… . . Will this war actually be fought?” (Eleonor)
“Yeah . ” (Arnos)
“Then we can’t escape . ” (Eleonor)
Eleonor states it matter-of-factly which is what I gathered she’d do .
Diego declared war on Deiruheido counting on the war potential of Zeshia that Eleonor can endlessly produce . Without them, the subjugation army would be overrun by the demon king army .
“I have to protect it . All of it . All of Gairadeite and all of Jergakanon . ” (Eleonor)
Eleonor laughed .
“All of them are a bit stupid but they are not truly bad people . I can’t let them die . ” (Eleonor)
Despite being in a very different form and very far from reincarnation her origin is still Jerga . Is this part of his sin?
“It’s plicated being a hero . ” (Arnos)
You are forced to play an unreasonable role and still have to fight for what you need to protect .
Was it like this for Kanon 2000 years ago?
“… . . It seems we have bee enemies Arnos-kun . ” (Eleonor)
She laughs sadly .
I reply back to her calmly .
“The things you said, the things you promised me . I don’t think you lied to me . ” (Arnos)
“I’m going to beat you . Deriuheido or Azeshion . There’s no hard feelings whoever wins . ” (Eleonor)
Its probably because she still wants me to erase her origin . She probably believes if she disappears everything will be settled .
If both sides are exhausted this war may not go any further .
But .
“Let me tell you something Eleonor . Neither Deiruheido nor Azeshion is going to win . ” (Arnos)
Eleonor gives me a strange look .
“There won’t be a victor?” (Eleonor)
“Oh no . There will be a victor . Me . I’ll stop this stupid war . ” (Arnos)
My longed-for peace from 2000 years ago has finally e . Everyone is laughing and neither the humans nor the mazoku fear what tomorrow will bring .
I will not let them take away this irreplaceable time .
“Such a thing ever for you Arnos-kun is……” (Eleonor)
“What? This is nothing . All I have to do is lightly kick the Deiruheido army around a bit, stop Avos Dillheavia and brush aside the demon king subjugation force . ” (Arnos)
I’ll neutralise both armies before they clash .
After that let’s give some long slow thought on how to get rid of the human’s hatred for the mazoku .
“Some things cannot be protected unless you are on the Azeshions side . That’s where you e in Eleonor . Don’t kill anyone until the very last moment . Enemy and ally both . Just protect what you need to protect . ” (Arnos)
She still has a dubious look on her face as I talk .
“On my side, I’ll protect your happiness . ” (Arnos)
Eleonor looks straight at me so I meet her gaze squarely and proudly .
Eventually, she nodded in determination .
“… . All right . I’ll believe in Arnos-kun . I promise . ” (Eleonor)
I turn to head back .
“Arnos-kun . ” (Eleonor)
Eleonor calls out to my back .
“I think I understand why Kanon believed in the demon king . ”
I turn to face her .
“I see . ” (Arnos)
At the same time, I cast and appeared in Deiruheido outside the fan union tower .
Waiting for me were Misha and Sasha along with Ray, Misa and the eight people from the fan union .
To one side also waiting for me were four of the old seven demon emperors consisting of Melheys, Aivis, Gaius and Idol .
“I’ve talked to Eleonor . ” (Arnos)
Everyone nodded with serious expressions .
They have Eleonor and Zeshia along with
