Event Quest:TRICK or:Taromaiti

[Translation by Kukuru]

Location: Daikamiyama Academy

Hey, are you heading home now? It’s been a long day, so I’ll escort you.

The recent drama… the small disturbance that occurred-

It’s what I wanted to hear. Did anything catch your eye? Did you enjoy it?

Eh? The atmosphere around me is different than usual…? I didn’t notice that, weird.

… I guess I’m being a little emotional.

Originally, I was a “Knight of Virtue” – People in my hometown mostly called me that.

I will follow my own path, but I’m not sure what I do is “right” and “wrong.”

When I played the role of the ultimate villain in the story, I was hoping I would find the answer.

Obviously, I was caught up in my own feelings. I lost sight of the “righteous” part of me.

Certainly, I didn’t become the “Demon King” just to bring that back.

If you say so, Taromaiti	Were you able to clean yourself of the brainwashing?	That’s because of Taromaiti’s “rule” …

……Haha, that wasn’t very nice you know.

Yes, my “rule” is “corruption.” It allows me to abolish the thoughts forced upon by others.

If I use that power, I’ll make sure to keep it a secret. Anyways-

For the first time, I thought about taking the role of a “Demanding Demon King” when they asked me about it.

I won’t deny it.

Back in my old homeland, people called me the “Demon King.”

What kind of things were they expecting of me? I want to know for myself.

Then – I practically figured it out. …It is a dreadful pleasure.

The pleasure is like becoming a beast. The joy of teaming up together and denouncing your opponents.

Someone who can distinguish my “evil” from others – It was a nice thought.

Thanks to that, I was able to reconsider it a little. What do “villians” see as “justice” as other people consider?

The way I see it is, “justice” and “evil” are the same depending on how you look at it.

In some situations, that phenomenon will appear.

Even so, it is still my responsibility.

If an event such as this happens again where I am “evil” … I may be called a “Demon King.”

That won’t happen at all	Maybe those are the things to fight against…
...... … Strange. When you said that, I feel relaxed for some reason. I will go my own way, you will go your way but- Since you’ll be following your own path, I will be looking out for you. That way I can support you. And then you’ll feel ashamed or something, I guess. Thank you, my Summoner. I will be on my way now, I hope you’ll look out for me.	Yeah… Maybe someday in the future it will happen. When the times comes where I’m called the “Demon King,” will you confront me as a “rival” or as a “friend?” I’m not sure how it will turn out. When that happens, even if you’re the protagonist or knight… Hopefully we’ll have an equal relationship. Haha~ Don’t think about it too much. It’s my honor to acknowledge you as a Knight. I look forward to seeing you again. Be sure to stay in high spirits!
