It happened 500 years ago.
The heroes are relaxing and enjoying the day that peace has been obtained, the demon lord has been defeated.
“Finally soon we can go home.” (Sumire)
“True. I'm looking forward to today, after a few years here I can finally return to my world.” (Jeek)
“Akira, Arima and Shiori where are they? Aren't they just here?” (Meiiko)
“True, this is our victory day, the two of them instead went very cool partying without them both.” (Ajiko)
“You guys were so noisy earlier, that's why they left.” (About)
“Already, let's just enjoy this quiet and peaceful night. After this I have no reason to raise my weapon again, everything has returned to peace. Everybody!! Let's have fun all night!!!” (Jeek)
“Ya!! Of course!!”
“You guys are so noisy, I'll go look for Arima as well as Shiori.”
“Yes, bring them here. We enjoy the party together to make it more fun.”
“Iya yes.” Akira pegi and the others enjoyed a small party they had themselves in the sky palace they had made together.
Long enough after that.
Akira who was walking around saw something strange outside, and therefore he decided to look at it.
He looked at the 2 people who were practicing swords. “Shiori, Arima, you guys are here. What are you guys doing?”
“As you can see, sword practice.” (Aryan)
“That's right, after we make it home to our world later we have to eradicate the monsters just like what our parents did first.” They both spoke but on the other hand they continued the sword training.
“In this case you two are indeed the best.” When Akira said that, the two of them stopped their training.
“If it wasn't for this sword, maybe I wouldn't have been able to survive this far.” (Aryan)
“This sword always helps when there is difficulty.” (Shiori)
“Y-yes, that sword has great power. So, it's only natural TO’.” (About)
“I want to know, actually how strong the person who gave this sword.” (Aryan)
“You mean your father? Uncle Hiroaki, I've heard of him from mom. But, when the big disaster is over uncle Hiroaki disappears and disappears.”
“I have prayed to the god every day so that I can meet him at least 1 time, I want to see what his face looks like. Mom said that her face was similar to Arima-nii's, but I thought dad might be more cool and handsome than her to the point of making me interested in her.” (Shiori)
“Hey, don't compare me to someone who never was. Besides, I feel like that person is in this world.”
“Mom always said that dad would come back, but until now I've never even seen him. The only thing he left behind was these two swords we used. Shirame, and also Ryuga.”
“Yes, your circumstances are not much different from mine. My father also disappeared after a few years ago, but I'm sure he'll be back.”
“All of you, there is important information!!” (Jeek)
Hearing Jiho's cry from within, Arima, Shiori, and also Akira rushed inside.
Inside that.
“What problems are there?” (About)
“Tools I left in the palace reacted, there is a possibility of a call from the king.”
“Again? Isn't defeating the demon lord enough, I'm already tired of all this.” (Meiiko)
“Yes, it is possible that the king wants to give us an award for defeating the demon lord.” (Ajiko)
“If only I could think positively like you, surely all this would be easier.” (Meiiko)
“How? Are we going?” (Jeek)
“It all depends on our chairman's decision, properly’ Akira.” (Aryan)
“Haaaa, hand it to me.” (About)
“You’ is the chairman, you have to lead.” (Shiori)
“Good well, I understand. Now we just come first, if there is something important that the king wants to talk about we can listen.”
“Then, let's go.” (Jeek)
A few minutes after that.
They used a dimensional gate then teleported towards the first human royal palace.
“King, there is a need what you call us here?” (About)
“I just got word that the elf race started attacking.” (King)
“Huh? Elf race, it is impossible.” The other heroes were confused by the words spoken by the king just now. “After all they help us the heroes in defeating the demon lord, the reverberates have a big role in this long battle.”
“Don't be naive, you guys are still kids. It's a political matter, because they helped defeat the demon lord whether we would let them off arbitrarily, they've injured our residents and troops.”
“Cannot.” (Sumire)
“King, you may have misunderstood. In addition, the elf race is not just sat..”.
“They remain elven races, and they are already threatening the safety of our people and race. I'm dropping the order to root them out.”
“M-exterminating, the king was very redundant.”
“My rule is absolute, do that or else I will not return you to your world.”
“Cih, sucks.” (Ajiko)
“We will go.” (Jeek)
Using the same magic, they returned to the sky palace.
“Damn the king!!” (Jeek)
“I think they will give us an award, it turns out they planned such a bad thing and again they threatened not to let us go back to our home world. That's very annoying.” (Meiiko)
“Akira, will we obey his orders.” (Aryan)
“Which we may obey such cruel orders!!” (Shiori)
“Actually I suspect whether the king can restore us to our world back.” (Jeek)
“You think that the king was actually just bragging about sending us home, like that?” (Sumery)
“You can see, before they said that when we managed to defeat they would send us back to our world, but in fact they gave us another task, instead, even this time it was a very frustrating task that they gave. Our hard work was never even considered by them, I prefer the kingdom of Drawf who appreciates and considers us as an actual hero.”
“What you said is true, I also agree with you.” (Ajiko)
“So Akira, what's your choice? To be honest I am also tired of being enslaved by that king, I better find my own way to return to my world.” (Jeek)
“If it is your choice, then I will approve it. But, if we do not help the king's army, it is likely that the king will deploy all his troops to exterminate the elves. I want you all to protect the elves from this attack, at least protect whatever you can.” (About)
“I love that thought of you, but before that I just realized something.” (Meiiko)
“Huh? Meiko, what is it?” (About)
“It is not strange if the king to ask us to eradicate the nation of elves, besides humans have magic, wouldn't it be easier in doing it yourself, but why would the king want us to help?”
“You want to say that the king has actually started an attack, like that?” (Jeek)
“Yes, besides that isn't this celestial house flying around the world, I just sensed a huge magic from below. It is likely that we are currently in the last line of defense of the elves.”
“The last line of defense of the elves, it does not mean the forest of life.” (Sumery)
“Iya, Jiho, didn't you realize it too.”
“Yes, I thought it was just a naturally formed magic reaction. But if you say something like that, it means it's true. The king's invasion has been started since a long time.”
“Then, let's hurry. If until the forest is destroyed, then the source of life in this world will be destroyed.” (Shiori)
“We have to think about the plan first, our opponent is a human the possibility of our comrades who come to fight the demon lord will be our enemy as well. But, I want to ask you 1 more thing. Are you ready for the consequences? When we do this maybe we will not be considered as heroes, but traitors.”
“I have no problem, besides that I no longer want to be enslaved by that king.” (Jeek)
“I too, all this time we've been fighting to risk our lives but we haven't gotten anything out of it at all.” (Sumire)
“I also have no problem, besides I have friends from the elves, if I have to fight him I do not want to obey the king's orders.” (Meiiko)
“I also come along, everything we do is not appreciated in their eyes. I'm so sorry to help them, I should have let that human just be wiped out.” (Ajiko)
“Y-ya... Then, Arima and Shiori? What about you guys?” (About)
“If everyone is coming, I am coming too. Correct’ Shiori.” (Aryan)
“Iya, I also follow whatever Arima-nii does. Besides, we've been together a long time so everything we do now has to be done together.” (Shiori)
“Alright, everyone agrees. Then, we move now.” (About)
They all instantly rushed up from the sky palace and headed straight for the battlefield.
Long enough after that.
“Hey, we're down too far from it should be.” (Jeek)
“Yes, how else. The speed of the sky palace's motion sometimes changes according to the speed of the wind, isn't it you who wanted it that way. Besides, it's your mechanism that makes.” (Meiko) Because of the erratic wind speed, they're down too far from where they should be.
“Iya yes.”
“Already, everyone let's go.” (About)
Thereafter.
Taking a long time, they finally arrived at the battlefield.
“Yang is right.” They were late, there were a lot of corpses of elves and humans scattered here. The war is over.
“Akira, what should we do after this?” (Aryan)
“I think this war is not over yet, I think that both sides are retreating because there is something.”
“Something?”
“Jiho, Meiko, don't you guys feel it.”
“If you say that, then this magic energy I feel is indeed the cause of the retreat of both sides.” (Jeek)
“How, can you measure its strength?”
“To be honest it is very difficult, even impossible I can do just by checking the traces of magic that is here.”
“So, yes. In that case, we will be on guard here until the next attack appears and after that if it happens immediately block them.” (About)
“Good.”
They decided to make a temporary camp near the forest of life.
And a few days passed.
Afternoon.
“When will they attack? We've been waiting for a few days here.” (Ajiko)
“Recovering the troops takes a lot of time, besides we also do not help them so it makes its preparations become hampered.”
“Horeee, finally caught too!!” (??)
“Everything is on standby.” (About) Hearing someone's voice they all became alert.
“Huh? What are you guys doing here? This place is dangerous lo.” (??) They meet a strange person, he catches a rabbit using a trap. “This place is not a suitable place for easy children like you are camping, you should immediately go from this place.”
“If you say that, doesn't that mean you are also included.” (Sumire)
“Originally you know, although my appearance is not far from you but I have lived at least longer than you. Never mind, oh yeah. Take this.” He gave them a bag.
“What is this?”
“Quiet, it's just rabbit meat I got. You can burn it, it feels pretty good lo.”
“Meiko, don't take.” (Jiho) When Meiko wants to take it, Jiho holds her back. “We cannot accept anything suspicious given by a stranger.”
“Hmmm, if I were in your position maybe I would think so too. But take it easy, I'm not that bad a person to the point of poisoning you. After all, finding rabbit meat is difficult, too bad if you have to be poisoned. But, if you don't want me to eat it myself.”
“T-wait.” (Shiori) Shiori took it straight away. “T-thanks a lot.”
“Shiori, what are you doing?!” (Jeek)
“She has said that it will not poison this meat.”
“You believe what he said, who knows he lied.”
“I trust him.”
“You trust the words of people who have never even met you.”
“B-not that, it's just that somehow I can trust him that he's not lying.”
“He's more honest than you think. Your name is Shiori’.” (??)
“Y-ya.”
“If you want, I can find it again for you.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“Hey...” (Jiho)
“Leave him alone, you’kan already know that he is indeed a person like that.” (Ajiko)
“Arima, are you sure you let your sister go?” (Jeek)
“If I can stop it, I'll stop it. But it's a matter of his liking for something, like meat. Even though I can't do anything if I've dealt with meat.”
“Then, if there is a need just call me.” (??)
“K-if you can know, your name?” (Shiori)
She smiled a little. “Hiroaki.” Hearing that, Akira and Arima as well as Shiori became shocked. “Then, I'll go first.” She went.
“Hiroaki, isn't that uncle's name?” (About)
“You know him?” (Meiiko)
“Only the name alone, it is the father name of Shiori and Arima.”
“But, he is too young isn't his age almost the same as ours, how could he be your father.” (Ajiko)
“Ya, just maybe the same name.”
“Yes, maybe you're right. Maybe just the same name, he must be a different person.” (Shiori)
Long enough after that.
“Hmmm, it's delicious once.” (Sumire) They ate the meat that Hiroaki got.
“He has given seasoning before, so we just have to roast it.” (Meiiko)
“Shiori, why don't you eat? Don't you like meat.” (Arima) Arima approached Shiori who was slightly away from the others.
“I like it, just. She was..”
“You also thought about it, yes.”
“Arime-nii too?”
“Of course, after saying such a thing of course it keeps me thinking.”
“Both of you, why stay away from the others.” (Akira) Akira approached the two of them.
“Akira, Arima-nii, what if that person was really a father? Although young, but he said that his age is far different from ours.” (Shiori)
“Yes, I have never seen Uncle Hiroaki before either. But, I have 1 clue as to whether he's true uncle Hiroaki or not.”
“What is it?”
Tomorrow.
The forest of life.
“Akira, what exactly are you planning? Are you really serious about attacking him? He was nice to us yesterday.” (Sumire)
“There is something I want to make sure of, therefore I need the help of all of you.” (Akira) Right now, they were all planning to attack Hiroaki who was napping.
“If that's what you want, fine.”
“Good, everyone. Attack!!” They attacked him simultaneously. “She's missing?”
“Hoaaaam, let me rest for a while. If you want to play around wait until I finish resting 2 or 3 hours is enough.”
“Strike!!”
They used all their strength and ability to defeat him.
Long enough after that.
“You're done?” (Hiroaki) Akira and the others were exhausted, and in the meantime Hiroaki did not sweat at all. “I'm just dodging your attacks, lo. Why are you guys exhausted?”
“D-he is very strong.” (Jeek)
“Oh yes, I did not see 2 of your friends. If it's not wrong Shiori and Arima, where are they?”
“Hehe, you're stuck. Now.” (About)
An impromptu attack was directly aimed at Hiroaki who was caught off guard, an extremely powerful attack from Shiori as well as Arima.
Big explosions happen.
“Does it work?” (Akira) Jiho and Meiko make a shield that keeps them protected from the impact caused by Shiori and Arima's attacks.
“Wah, pretty strong attack. As expected, you two are indeed amazing.” (Hiro)
“D-he still survives. Not even scratched in the slightest.” (Jiho) Hiroaki is still standing tall, but…
“Haaaa, but I only plan to see it. But I never thought it would end like this.” (Hiro)
“That sword, the same sword as Arima and Shiori.” (Meiko) They were all surprised to see him, he had the same sword as them. Hiroaki used it to fend off Arima and Shiori's attacks.
“You both turned out to be great people. More powerful than what he said.” Just by looking at it, Arima and Shiori realized who was actually currently in front of them.
Realizing that, Shiori shed her tears. Meanwhile Arima approached towards him. “Y-yo... Ughhh He punched right into Hiroaki's stomach.
“Haaaa, I can't give you many answers but for sure. If I knew your mother would do something like this, maybe I'd take her too. Although I know what risk I will get, if only he spoke sooner.”
“You have no regrets about what you did!! Mom tried so hard to raise us, and even she told us how great you were even just for a little while with her. He is always sad when he tells you about your departure, he suffers a lot.”
“This does sound cruel but, I'm just doing the job. If there's something out of control, I can't do anything. If you had known, your presence would have changed a lot of things that shouldn't exist. Even so I will not blame you or your mother, for this is purely due to my negligence.”
“Dad!!” (Shiori) Shiori who was crying was happy to immediately run and hug Hiroaki. “Finally I got to meet you, I'm so happy. Finally my prayers all this time can be granted.”
“He really is their father?” (Jeek)
“If viewed from the weapon they used, it was the same. Most likely yes.” (Ajiko)
“Ahhh, sorry in advance for not introducing yourself properly. My name is Akarui Hiroaki, despite looking young I am older than you.”
“You are immortal?”
“No, if anyone kills me I will still be able to die.”
“B-so.”
“Uncle, why is uncle here? Does uncle live here?” (About)
“Ahhh, you're Kotaro's son, yes. Well, you look like him when you were young. Seeing you made me remember how big the fight was. Ahhh, forget that. I'll answer your question. I do not live in this world, I am in this world now because I get a job.”
“Tasks? From whom?”
“One of the gods. He was also the one who assigned me to go to the world where you live. Ahhh, this place is not good for casual talking. How about we go find a more comfortable place again.”
“Then..” (Shiori)
They went to the sky palace.
Room to relax.
“Wah, a flying castle. Reminds me of someone's sky palace.” (Hiro)
“Who?” (Jeek)
“A god, yes even so this looks small compared to his creation. But this is good.”
“Compare this with an artificial god, it does not make sense.” (Meiiko)
“Uncle, if you may know what duty that god gave you?” (About)
“I was assigned to protect the nation of elves, besides that I also have to take care of the peculiarities that will appear soon.”
“Anjilan?” (Jeek)
“Ahhh, I've previously dealt with this kind of thing. Arguably, the peculiarities were like enemies to the gods, he made damage and destroyed a world guarded by a god or could be interpreted as if they were imbalances.”
“I don't really understand.”
“So here's a simple example. The world guarded by the gods is like a wood that is put in balance, but because something makes the wood that should be balanced is even out of balance and ends up falling. Like that.”
“So.”
“Will father come back after the task is done? Are you going to see mom?” (Shiori)
“Ahhh, about that. I've met him before I came here.”
“Already? Have you seen mom?” (Aryan)
“Yes, the time difference was not so far away. Although it has been a long time, but in fact when back there 18 years has been passed. It is likely that the flow of time in this world is slower than the world you came from, so even though being in this world for 100 years will not change anything when you return.”
“Like that, yes.”
“Oh yes, what is the reason you are called into this world? And why are you in the elves' forest?” (Hiro)
They then explained, the reason why they were called into this world.
Long enough after that.
“Hmmm, so after defeating the demon lord, the king promised to return you to your world, but after doing 1 job is to exterminate the elves, like that.”
“Iya.”
“I think who they'll call, it turns out you guys.”
“Eh, I already know?”
“No, it is only now that I am protecting the village, it is likely that until this state subsides and that imbalance appears, after everything is finished I will just return.”
“So that's the reason they got to ask for our help.” (Sumire)
“If his opponent is father, it is only natural. The 7 of us just can't beat him, let alone that army.” (Shiori)
“But, why are you guys looking at it?” (Hiro)
“We do it for a reason of its own.” (About)
“So, I understand. Besides, I doubt that the king will send you back.”
“You also think like that?” (Jeek)
“Of course, I've been summoned to another world as a hero with other random people. When I asked to be returned, they told me that I had to exterminate and kill the demon lord and his army, after which I could only be sent home.”
“Then, what did dad do?”
“I was cast out, and in that arena I went to the demon lord's palace and asked permission to stay there for a while.”
“T-living with the demon king.” They were shocked and seemed to be in disbelief at what Hiroaki said.
“Yes, after I lived for a long time it turned out that the demon king in the world was not as evil as I thought. I even thought that she was just an ordinary girl.”
“Girl? The demon king is a girl?” (Jeek)
“Iya.”
“Father always seduces women, even to the demon king.” (Shiori)
“That's part of the investigation, I just did it. If I had killed them without any reason or their true nature, I might have been remembered as a heartless murderer and I might have been haunted by guilt. Actually the lives of humans and demons are not much different, but for some reason a king must make decisions for the benefit of his people. A bad environment for the demon race, that's what makes them always start wars. Most of the land belonging to the demon race cannot be used because the fertility rate is very minimal, and it is very impossible to plant something on that land.”
“You got to know that far.” (Jeek)
“I went to him before he was killed, didn't you kill him.”
“I-iya.”
“Haaaa, whereas he's a pretty nice and friendly person. But, because it has become your job how else.”
“Good and friendly? A demon king?” (Ajiko)
“I told you, the demon race is just like us humans. They also have families, they also play, cry, happy, sad, it is a demon race in this world. I remember the first time I went there.”
“Dad, can tell.” (Shiori)
“Good. When I first came to the demon kingdom, I went straight to the palace, the demons who saw me were scared even your soldiers were scared. Then, because of that I was able to meet the demon lord easily.”
“Yes, I can imagine it.”
“I just wanted to hear what really happened to their race, and I instead listened to the curses of a demon lord.”
“The demon king confides.”
“But yes, I can understand the reason and purpose of the attack. If you are aware, there are actually places that are not attacked by the demon lord, such as the death valley, the snake lake, the fairy forest and many more. Moreover, they attacked only to expand power in order to fulfill the life of their race.”
“Devil king, I did not expect him to have such a purpose.” (Meiiko)
“Yes, if you try to talk about it well surely everything will be finished peacefully. The ambition of a demon king was different from that of a king who ruled over a human kingdom, the ambition of that king was only for the sake of power as well as territory. The attack carried out at this time is actually the main goal is to expand the region without any purpose.”
“Why can you be sure?” (Jeek)
“You know, humans are always overwhelmed by a thirst for power, greed for property, and the desire to continue to enrich themselves, they are willing to sacrifice anything to get all of it. What is the benefit to the people? Nothing, it's just for personal satisfaction. The current attack on the elves might just be for the sake of satisfying their worldly desires alone, I have seen it for myself. Some time ago, I still did not realize it but now fortunately I still had time.”
“Four?”
“You know, the king's invasion of the elves has started since you attacked the demon king's palace.”
“Not that, it's been long enough.” (Ajiko)
“Iya. Haaaa, they caught the elves women and children to be sold as slaves. They also killed the elves who fought viciously. If that is the case, even if you tame the rest of the elves, I believe their anger towards humans will not be forgotten in the near future. In addition, there are several more races that are invaded by humans, if this happens in the future I believe humans will be very difficult.Especially when the demon king rises again.”
“He will rise again?”
“Ahhh, yes. When I told him what would happen if he was killed, he said he would rise again but I don't know when. But, when that happens I want you to shut up and let the humans take care of this matter themselves. They must accept the bitterness of the reality already taken by their predecessors, a very heavy decision.”
“Once, yes.”
“Ahhh, true too. Since you have denied or betrayed the king, it is likely that you will be branded as a traitor. Don't you guys have a problem with that?”
“No, after all from the beginning we were never valued or respected in the human kingdom. I even prefer the kingdom of Drawf who very welcome us very well.” (Ajiko)
“So, even the person who helped them is not appreciated. Should such a human just perish, true’an.”
“Dad, your words are so creepy. Even so, there are also those who appreciate us, not everyone is like that kok.” (Shiori)
“Yes yes, I understand. Looks like you guys should start looking for a way to return home by yourself, after all if anyone is summoned to another world as a hero, it is very unlikely that they will be returned. That's according to my experience, but if the king was a good man he would definitely do it. But, it seems like the current king you are facing is not a good person, so think of a way to go back by yourself.”
“Then, how do you if you want to leave this world?”
“God who sent dad will pick up when dad's assignment is done.”
“So when dad's job is done dad will go straight away, yes.”
“Hey, don't be sad like that. Because the time cycle in this world is a little longer, it seems like relaxing briefly in this world does not hurt.”
“Sorry to help time, but at this time the king's army has moved.” (Aryan)
“Hmmm, they've advanced, yes. I want to ask 1 thing to all of you, have you ever killed a human before?”
“If asked like that..”.
“So not yet, yes. Your labile and doubtful nature will bring disaster, but calm down. As long as I'm here, I won't let your hands bleed. Besides, any parent who wants to see his son become a killer.”
“Dad..”
They returned to the battlefield near the forest of life using teleportation magic.
“Hmmm, many also.” There were many platoons of the king's army that were ready to attack. “I know you're not all wrong, but sorry. I have my own duties.” Hiroaki raised his blue sword in the sky. “Deliver, multi dragon strom.”
The sky turned dark and lightning began to strike.
“Very big power.” (Jeek)
“Yes, this is weaker than before. I use 50% of my total strength, if I used to maybe I could call more of this with just 30% alone. Turns out age does affect everything.”
“H-great, this kind of devastating power is only half of its original strength.” (Sumire)
“It will shake a little, so prepare yourself and also your protective magic.” They used protective magic to protect them. “It's less powerful.” Hiroaki added their magic protectors to make it even stronger. “So this is enough.”
“T-thick once.”
“Good.”
“Dad, how about you? You're not in?”
“Quiet, this is my technique, I can handle it myself. All right, my sweet dragon.” Hiroaki pointed his blue sword right at the royal troops. “I know that you are not wrong, but 1 your fatal mistake is, make me an enemy.” A huge electric dragon was formed, and after that it instantly hit the assembled king's army and prepared to attack.
The explosion was unusually strong, the effect of the explosion made the electric waves scattered and most importantly. “It's done.” The whole army was wiped out and left nothing. “I know you all must be scared after seeing this, therefore I don't want you to experience the same thing as me. My hands have killed so many, I can't count how many people I killed using my power. Arima, Shiori, I hope you guys didn't inherit my one trait.” Hiroaki smiled as if something he was doing was common to him. While after seeing this, the others felt fear.
“You killed them all.” (Meiiko)
“In a fight, you have to make a choice. Kill or be killed, those 2 choices are absolute and inviolable choices. This way, the elves should be safe. The rest is just hunting other races, want it anyway. But..” Something slowly began to appear above the sky.
“A-what is it?!” (About)
“Everything, please don't get out of there. He's not an enemy you can handle.” Slowly his figure began to form, something enormous with a gigantic scythe carrying. “The imbalance this time seems a little different from the previous one.” The creature was wearing a black robe with a human shape but his face was invisible.
“Dad!!”
“Just relax, your father is stronger than you can imagine. Shirame, Ryuga, time for action.” A black sword appeared in his left hand. He immediately jumped up very quickly, then smashed his two swords directly into the giant monster's body.
“Monster was not affected by any effect.” (Aryan)
“This is pretty bad, if only my strength was still what it used to be. Maybe I can finish this in just a few slashes.” (Hiroaki) Gaga's first attack, Hiroaki continues with a streak of attacks. Every slash that hit the monster triggered a wave of very strong wind to make the trees around it crash.
They could only see, attack after powerful attack launched by Hiroaki for the sake of defeating the monsters, and occasionally a gigantic fireball magic was released by the monsters but it was held back by Hiroaki alone, alone, until akhinya.
Morning time.
The sun began to rise, and after hours the battle was over. The monster vanished with a very powerful final attack unleashed by Hiroaki.
“It's done?” The surrounding forest was destroyed, and became a land plain without plants.
Hiroaki who finished the fight, returned to another place. “Haaaaa, I'm so tired. That final attack cost me a lot of mana, I have to ask for a bigger vacation from him. Alright.” He unleashed the protective magic he had installed.
“It's not just a protective magic’.” (Jeek)
“You realize it, it is a special magic that is commonly used to heal the wounds of someone who is in it, the magic also dispels the evil effects that are outside to enter into.”
“Dad, the creature.”
“It was the creature I spoke of yesterday. Haaaa, should be in my perfect state I can defeat him in just a few attacks, I don't think now I need time until this long. Turns out I'm this weak.”
“K-such strength is weak.” (Sumery)
“Haaaa, my task is done. The elves could return peacefully, even so their grudges would remain. The humans will retreat because they have lost a lot of troops, the human invasion will stop because the number of troops has decreased very much and 1 important thing.” A giant magic circle appeared in the sky.
“L-circle magic what this is, huge once.” (Jiho & Meiko)
“The elimination of magic, humans in this world are very dangerous if they have magic. I will use the rest of my mana that is still left to remove magic for the humans.”
“If dad does that, what later if someone attacks them?”
“You still care about them. Calm down, I won't be that cruel. Magic can still be possessed by people who deserve to have it alone, and magic can also be passed down. That way, how?”
“It means not everyone can use magic, yes.”
“Of course, he who possesses magic will have the power to protect others who are weaker than him. If they use that remaining power for a crime, I'm sure they'll get their reward straight away. For you, the power you get is not from this world it means you can still use your power.”
“Dad.”
“Haaaa, okay. This is to avoid the war that will occur, at least to avoid interracial war for the next few hundred years.” The magic circle in the sky slowly began to disappear. “The magic effect is already active, it is likely that there is currently a major royal uproar. Haaaa, god Sha..”.
“Dad already want to go home?”
“You want me to be here longer?”
“If dad doesn't mind, I want to talk a lot with you.”
“You look just like your mother, very selfish. If that's what you want, fine. But only a few weeks, yes.”
“Thanks.”
“Oh yes, Akira, Jiho, Meiko, and also Arima, you can start to create magic that can bring you back.”
“Eh, b-well.” (About)
“Thanks.”
“Oh yes, Akira, Jiho, Meiko, and also Arima, you can start to create magic that can bring you back.”
“Eh, b-well.” (About)
After that, they attempted to create a magic that could bring them back.

“That's the story.” (grandfather)
“Didn't that mostly tell about that guy named Hiroaki.”
“Yes, that guy was amazing. But from that story, you already understand not the reason why they (the elves) hate the human race.”
“Iya. If it had happened that way, anyone would have hated him to death. Oh yes, my grandfather said that grandfather, Jiho, Meiko, and also Arima who is in charge of making magic to be able to return, but why only grandfather who lives here?”
“After years of trying, we realized something.”
“What is it?”
“To move the world, requires the help of a god. It was a thing we didn't realize from the beginning, therefore those others chose to sleep.”
“Then, why grandfather did not do it too isn't it something impossible?”
“Iya, but my curiosity beats that. Then, as time goes on and the age of that desire begins to disappear and disappear eaten by time, at this time I just want a peace before I die.”
“So.”
“That's just a handful of stories about my life as a man who was once called a hero, a traitor.”
“About the demon race, I didn't know they had such a purpose.”
“It was their goal that uncle said first. What was said by uncle used to be true, speaking will be easier.”
“He has great strength, so it's only natural that he can do just that.”
“Yes, I will not deny your words, but he tells us 1 important thing that humans and demons are the same, nothing different.”
“I also understand about it.”
“It's good. Haaaaa, it's been a long time since I've been squeaking wide like this. Looks like I'm ready to die now.”
“Grandfather, as usual your jokes are not funny.”
“No, this time I'm not kidding. Everything I wanted to do was done I did.”
“Grandpa!!” I panicked, his body slowly began to vanish.
“From the beginning I have used this magic for myself, when everything has been fulfilled this magic will come off and I will return to another place.”
“Grandfather, don't go!!”
“I've told you everything you want to know, the truth about what happened 500 years ago, why the human race is hated especially by the Elves. I've told you everything you need. If you're still confused, you can read a lot of books in that library.”
“But..”.
“You are very selfish, but. When I hold my gun, I always hear someone whispering to me, I think he is the god of death that my father once revealed, when he met death. He always said, I hope you're happy with your choice. For the last time, Ari, let me hear that from you.”
“Grandfather..” This is his last wish, inevitably I have to grant it.
“I beg you, do it with a smile on your face.”
I smile. “Kakek... Koujo Akira, may you be happy with your choice.”
Grandpa smile. “You too, may you be happy with your choice.” After saying that, grandfather vanished.
I felt something very very tight in my heart, his departure seemed to have a very big impact on me. The first person I admired vanished right in front of me.
