"Guff!"
It should have been decided, but for some reason, Silvia, in her human form, fell down.
"If I hadn't absorbed the demon, I would have died. The demon's ability to have remaining lives is very convenient."
Ah, it's no good. I've run out of options. Silvia is in tatters, but the same goes for me. Without magical power, I'll be overwhelmed by the level difference.
"It seems like we can't be together in this world anymore... so let's be together in the next world?"
"I refuse! Why do you always act like a tragic heroine until the very end? All you Crimson Demons! This way!"
But Sylvia was already in front of him.
"Damn! Kazuma's too close! I can't cast my spell!"
Damn it! Is resuscitation possible? If this is possible, then resuscitation is possible!
"I'll even eat your little boy's soul..."
"Stop it! That's game over!"
"What are you doing to someone else's husband?! 'Sacred Highness Exorcism'!"
"Eeek!"
Eris's beam was a surprise attack. Something black and fuzzy escaped from Silvia, who was hit directly. It was probably something demonic.
"Cracks in your body?"
As the black mist cleared, Sylvia's body began to collapse.
"Right, so if the demon part is exorcised, it seems my death can't be reversed..."
Sylvia weakly approached me and collapsed in front of me.
"Hey, little boy... could you hold my hand at least until the end..."
"Ah."
There was no more danger. So I listened to Silvia's final words. With the commander-in-chief now defeated, the monsters had stopped their attacks.
"Tell my men... to live their own lives..."
"I understand."
Around me, many demons had heard Silvia's voice and had dropped their weapons. They were probably those who loved Silvia more than the Demon King.
"You should study the female mind a bit more. If you call a goddess a succubus, she'll get angry, you know?"
"We talked about this when we first met..."
"That's true...I wonder if I would have been able to be with you if I had been a girl back then..."
"If you weren't in the Demon King's army, we might have become friends."
What is this somber atmosphere? It feels so heroic. By the way, rather than being moved, I feel a great sense of relief. I'm trying my best not to let anyone know though.
"Hey, boy. I'd hate to give my life to that goddess. Can you deliver the final blow?"
"Okay. What should I do?"
"He's practically a normal person now. A dagger to the heart will do that."
I did as I was told and took out Chunchunmaru.
"Goddess, I hate you, but you must make the boy happy. Otherwise, I will definitely come back as a ghost."
"Hearing the request of someone who has fallen into the hands of a monster goes against the way a goddess should act, but... I will grant your wish."
"Now I have no regrets. Let this end, Satou Kazuma."
"Yeah. See you, Sylvia."
Crunch
And so my battle with trauma came to an end.
______________________________________
"0 deaths, no noticeable damage to the city! This is truly a great victory!"
A victory celebration was held at the guild bar. Luna's report was met with cheers from the guild, guards, and Crimson Demons. After that, Silvia's words caused the monsters to retreat. Now, after confirming that everyone was safe, the victory celebration was held.
"Please say a few words to our honoree, Kazuma."
Luna started the conversation, and I stepped forward in front of everyone.
"I certainly couldn't have protected this city by myself. It's all thanks to you all. Thank you so much!"
"You protected Kazuma's chastity!"
Dust makes a perfectly timed remark. Huh? No way...
"The scouting unit's clairvoyance and lip-reading skills had revealed that Silvia's target was Kazuma, but in the end everyone fought to not sell him out, right?"
Although I feel extremely embarrassed when Luna explains it to me, I'm also really happy about everyone's feelings.
"Well, if Kazuma hadn't brought the Crimson Demons with him, many would have died."
"That's right, in the end everyone trusts Kazuma."
Stop it. I cry when I'm happy too.
"But there's something that's bothering me more than that..."
Is it a report that Luna brought?
"Regarding the descent of Lady Eris and the suspicion that she was calling Kazuma her husband..."
My new battle has begun.
"That's... probably a girl in cosplay... Lady Eris is probably in a place like this, isn't she?"
"No, it was real! I even heard some conversations that sounded like it!"
Aqua has joined the battle. Is that you? You're the one who spread the word!
"Hey Kazuma, did you make a move on my junior? Did you sleep with Eris?! Hey, tell me!"
"Hey Kazuma! Are you saying you violated Lady Eris? She's a goddess! Do you know what you've done?!"
Darkness also joins in. No, I'm not going to jump on board based on what Aqua said.
"Kazuma, isn't that a bit too much? Did you threaten her? Did you threaten the goddess and manipulate her?"
Hey Chris, are you kidding me? You're having fun, right?!
"Um, it seems certain that Lady Eris has descended, but in the midst of the fierce battle, even the scouts were unable to confirm what she said. In the first place, do you and Lady Eris have a personal relationship?"
"Well, you see? I don't really understand it myself! I guess if you defeat the Demon King you'll be united with the Goddess after death? Well, that's what Aqua said!"
This was the only excuse I could think of.
"Now that I think of it, the princess of this country will also marry the hero who defeats the Demon King, right?"
Ah, Dust, nice follow-up! But now there's one more problem...
"Well, then I'll complain to Eris and ask her to stop this old-fashioned custom!"
Aqua is motivated. It's always at times like these.
"I have to stop the princess..."
Darkness, I'll support you on that. Iris is a criminal.
"Then I'll be your wife now."
The lolita girl sitting next to me. See, Megumin is so bold.
"Me too! I'll make sure you're happy, okay?"
On the other side is Chris. He's getting a little too carried away.
"It seems Kazuma already has a partner, so let's just report the arrival of Lady Eris. I don't want to get into any trouble with the Eris religion."
"That's right! That would be great!"
Oh, thank goodness. I completely dug my own grave...
"Is Satou Kazuma there?"
"What is this?! How many times have we seen this pattern?!"
"Sato Kazuma, you treated Lady Eris like a dirty succubus, and what's more, reports have come in that when you descended upon her, you declared her to be your wife!"
Oh no. This is seriously crazy.
"Should I appear before the Inquisition?"
"…yes"
My battle has just begun
