Oh, you're heading home now? I'd be happy to escort you to the gate.
|
That... was quite the uproar that happened in the play this time...
|
I want to hear it. What did you think? Did you have fun?
|
Hmm? Something about me seems different than normal...?
Maybe I'm still startled about what happened.
|
...... I suppose I have been a little too empathetic.
|
I was originally a "knight of virtue"...
Many people back in my homeland referred to me as the "demon king."
|
I only followed the path that I believed in.
Though, some called it "justice" and some "evil."
|
I hoped to find a clear answer by playing the ultimate "evil" of the story this time.
|
But, I suppose I have been caught up somewhere in my heart after all.
I lost sight of what "justice" is to me.
|
I never would have thought that the real "demon king" would bring me back.

|
You know, Taromaiti...
|
Did you clear away the brainwashing by yourself?
|
It's because of the "Rule" you have, Taromaiti...
|
...... Huhu. You can't disdain me like that, you know.
|
Yes, my "Rule" is "corruption."
I'm able to abolish the thoughts forced onto me by other people.
|
Whether I used it or not... I'll keep that as a secret. But...
|
For the first time, I wanted to accept the "role of the demon king" as I was requested.
|
The people who once referred to me as the "demon king" in Garothman...
|
What kind of role did those people demand from me?
I wanted to know that myself.
|
Then... I actually figured it out.
That... was a dreadfully pleasant feeling.
|
There was joy like that of a beast.
There was joy of uniting with your comrades and denounce your foe with evil.
|
Calling someone different from you "evil"...
It was such a pleasant feeling.
|
Thanks to that... I was able to reconsider it a little.
What is "justice" and "evil" to those people?
|
The path I believe in can be "evil" or "justice,"
depending on how the person perceives it.
|
That is an inevitable matter no matter which position you take.
|
Nonetheless, I will stick to my path.
|
However, I will be called a "demon king" or "evil" again someday...
|

|
That's not gonna happen.
|
Maybe there are things to fight for...
|
... Strange. When you say that, I feel relieved for some reason.
|
I'll walk my own path. As will you. However...
|
I'll be watching over you while you walk a different path.
That alone will be very reassuring to me.
|
And I believe that I will never shame you, at least.
|
Thank you, my Summoner. Please observe the path that I will walk.
|
|
Y... Yes. Maybe that will happen someday in the near future.
|
When I'm called the "demon king" again, will you confront me as an "enemy"?
I don't know if we'll stand side by side as "allies," but...
|
Even if you're not a lord and knight when that happens...
I want to hold an equal relationship if possible.
|
Don't think too deeply about it, haha!
A knight's second-hand holds my respect.
|
I look forward to the day where we meet again, "hero" with a bright smile!
