[Translation by Seagull]
At the Inn with Orgus
Fkare Inn, Night
...This happened after the battle against the Demon King ended, just before departing for the journey to another world.
They settled in a place on the street, and one night—
Yuuji of "New Game +" gets off the bed, going to see someone alone.
Now that [playerNickname] forfeited his "role" as a Brave, the sword's shine from its "rule" has also faded.
Therefore, it is no longer possible to communicate with "someone else" inside their body.

|
(Lean on Orgus.)
|
|
...Ah, it's just you, [playerNickname].
Had your answer come a bit more slowly, my sword would have slashed at your direction.
|
|
...Just kidding. How can I possibly not notice you, mwahaha.
|
|
|
...Woah, [playerNickname]!? W-wha-what are you doing all of a sudden!?
|
Despite the words of shock, Orgus still holds [playerNickname]'s head to his chest, roughly stroking their hair.
|
Oh well...this is one of your charms, I guess.
|
|
|
Why are you staying up this late? Got something on your mind?
|
| 3 options
|
| I just can't fall asleep.
|
I'd like to have a chat with you, Orgus.
|
I'd like to see you, Orgus.
|
|
...I see. Honestly, I don't exactly feel like sleeping either.
|
|
|
...I see. To be completely honest, I do feel the same way as you.
|
|
|
...After all, we're about to depart for another world.
|
|
It can't be helped to feel different and be unable to remain calm...
|
Having said that, Orgus looks through the room's window at the view outside.
|
...Say, [playerNickname], want to have a walk with me, get some fresh air?
|
Grassland Field, Night
Under the starlit sky, [playerNickname] and Orgus walk on the ground of this world.
Orgus stares at this world which they will soon leave behind, trying too hard to imprint it in his eyes.
| 2 options
|
| The night feels nice, Orgus.
|
The view is beautiful, Orgus.
|
|
Ahh...beautiful indeed. Everything feels like I'm seeing it for the first time.
|
|
Even though it's been around me ever since I was born—
|
|
Well...I guess it's true that I haven't been paying much attention.
|
|
Thinking back now...I have lived a life in a world so narrow that only my sword was by my side.
|
| 3 options
|
| Was it for yourself?
|
Was it for someone else?
|
Was it for vengeance?
|
|
On one hand, I wanted to get strong for my own good; on the other hand, I wanted to prove that I was the one who could protect our people.
|
|
Yet—at the end of the day, my strongest motive was to make those who abandoned me ashamed.
|
|
To me, that kindom which fostered me was the entirety of my life, my world.
|
|
...It's incredible how I see it like it's all in the past now that we are to leave.
|
| 2 options
|
| Is it fine that you leave?
|
Do you want to leave?
|
|
...My own emotions aside, the kindom is better without me.
|
|
Although my little brother suffered from a high chance of dying in his youth, he is a fine grown man now.
|
|
...If there exists any threat, the Demon King would be second to none.
|
Orgus recalls what Nekros said—it was about the nature of Demon King, told by the very existence himself—and continues:
|
—The king who ruled all demons in this world, No Life King, awakens once every hundreds of years.
|
|
He calls upon other demons, bringing destruction and chaos to the world.
|
|
He does that simply because "he was born this way."
|
|
Just like how fire dragons inhabit scorching mountains, while sea dragons inhabit deep oceans.
|
| 2 options
|
| Then, if the Demon King is gone—
|
the world would become peaceful?
|
|
...Unfortunately, I'm afraid not.
|
|
Even though Nekros is gone, another No Life Demon King might emerge,
so long as this world, which gave birth to No Life King, remains unchanged.
|
| 3 options
|
| Ugh...You have a point.
|
What do you mean?
|
...
|
|
Should anything in this world—including the knight order and the kingdom—disappear, there will be substitutes.
|
|
History repeats itself; it's not as simple as removing one piece of the puzzle.
|
|
...Using Nekros' words, "'Rules' that descend into this world would seek alternatives to express themselves."
|
|
If that is true, the second—and thirdd and onwards—No Life King shall appear even after we're gone.
|
|
After all...even if the Demon King is annihilated, the great wars among different races would follow inevitably.
|
|
Considering now that the Demon King is gone, I dare say those fights that have been kept on small scales will amplify.
|
| 2 options
|
| Is that so...
|
...B-but
|
|
|
|
Mhm...That's right, [playerNickname]. Despite all that-
|
|
|
I also believe the people in this world will obtain peace, even if only for a short duration.
|
|
That applies to my little brother, the family who raised me, as well as my adorable subordinates in the order.
|
|
Had the battle against the Demon King have happened for real, the casualties would have been severe to say the least.
|
|
My disappearance from this world is a much cheaper price to pay.
|
Orgus says so, fixing his gaze on [playerNickname]'s eyes.
|
Yeah, I will follow you to the outer world.
|
|
Someone has to keep an eye on Nekros. On top of that—
|
|
—I've got a promise to keep with you, right, [playerNickname]?
|
| 2 options
|
| Thank you, Orgus.
|
Sorry, Orgus.
|
|
..."Thank you", huh. It really should be my line instead.
|
|
|
[playerNickname], please, don't apologize...Pardon my faulty choice of words.
|
|
|
I chose this path; that's all to it.
|
(Orgus approaches [playerNickname])
|
...You hear that, [playerNickname]? My chest is pounding with the excitement of a new journey.
|
|
I'm heading out—as neither a member of the royal lineage nor the knight captain, but a man for once.
|
|
Moreover—[playerNickname], I'm going with you.
|
Black screen
|
...Hey, [playerNickname].
|
|
...A few days ago, when Nekros talked to me, he also brought up a similar topic.
|
|
He mentioned that "The Demon King" was born to be rejected and hated by those alive.
|
|
According to Sol, the Brave is no different,
born as the hope of those alive, naturally respected and loved.
|
|
However, you guys are not alone. Born as a member of royal lineage but then abandoned...I suffer just the same.
|
|
What kind of man I was didn't matter, people always viewed me with mixed feelings.
|
Valinor City (flashback)
|
On top of that...right, I joined the knight order of Valinor, shield of the kingdom—
|
|
Thinking to bring guilt to the King and those who once abandoned me.
|
|
I...wanted to manipulate others' feelings. Right now, I can admit that.
|
Grassland Field, Night
|
This world we live in forces all sorts of fates upon us.
|
|
Indeed, how others view us is not something we can decide.
|
|
Nonetheless, knowing that, I shall still confess to you, with my own will.
|
|
I'd like to move forward with you who shared this adventure together, by my side.
|
|
...Yeah, Orgus, "I" also have something in mind.
|
|
The reason...you invested interest in me at the beginning might have been me being the Brave—for external reasons like that.
|
|
...However, it will be different from now on. Because I, as someone who is no longer the Brave—
|
| 3 options
|
| -will begin a new journey with you, Orgus.
|
-will let you judge me from scratch, Orgus.
|
-will make you fall in love with me, Orgus!
|
Having said that, [playerNickname] smiles—with the face that resembles no one else's.
|
[playerNickname]. Ahhh, I will look forward to it...!
|
| 3 options
|
| (Smile at Orgus.)
|
(Hold Orgus's hand)
|
(Kiss Orgus)
|
|
Orgus stares at [playerNickname]'s face, and then lets out a smile of his own—once as stoic as that of an onigawara's—too.
|
Orgus holds back [playerNickname]'s hand in return, trying his best to be gentle.
|
|
...[playerNickname]. [playerNickname]—
|
Orgus holds [playerNickname] up. This time, he closes up the distance between the two faces himself; lips of the two meld in a passionate fashion yet once again.
|
...[playerNickname], prepare yourself.
|
|
Because I, not as a king or something but as an individual man, will—
|
|
Sweep you by your legs like you could never get up on your own...!
|
|
Orgus raises his head towards the sky, seemingly eyeing something far, far away.
Beyond the night sky of this world, which will soon be left behind, are the drifting shooting stars, one after another—
