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 “authority” …
|
|
……Haha, that wasn’t very nice you know.
|
|
Yes, my “authority” is “vice.”
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.
|
|
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 –
That seems to be a nice thought.
|
|
Thanks to that, I was able to reconsider it a little.
What do “villians” see as “justice” as 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.”
|
| 2 options
|
| That won’t happen at all
|
Maybe those are the things to fight for…
|
|
… Strange.
When you say 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!
