Epilogue

Blood was spread out.

The corpse of a knight was laid out.

There was a crest engraved on the armor, and it denoted that the owner of that armor was attached to the Local Knights stationed in Faltra.

Within the forest

It was a place hidden within the many trees and was hard to see from the surrounding areas.

Alicia swept her sword.

The clinging blood and fat scattered.

The corpse of the knight was at her feet.

Alicia muttered as if spitting out at the laid out corpse.

UnsightlyI wonder why are people of the Races so unsightly whether they are alive or dead?

Before Alicias eyes, there was a single girl.

Her silver hair had grown out down to her waist.

Her skin was brown.

Her large, young-looking eyes were gold and, just like those of reptiles, had vertically slit pupils.

Human, Pantherian, Elf, Dwarf, Grasswalker, DemonThe girls race was none of these.

A Demonic Being.

Edelgart, was this girls name.

She muttered.

Think, its odd. IsntAlicia alsoof the Races?

It was a tone that sounded somewhat sulky.

Alicia smiled as if it were out of self derision.

I also consider myself to be unsightly, Edelgart-sama. I am not beautiful like you.

Edelgart tilted her head.

But, Demonic Beings, weak?

You must certainly be joking! To say that you all, who far superior than the Races and are far more beautiful, are weak!

Still, not enough. Because, Demon King of the Brain Enkvalos-sama was defeatedDemonic Beings too? Demonic Beasts too. Totally, weak. Not give birth, at all. Decreasing, terribly.

Yes, I knowDemon King of the Brain Enkvalos-samaI had heard that great person possessed the power to reflect magicI, have a clue on a person that is similar.

The one that crossed Alicias mind was Diablo.

He naturally claimed himself to be a Demon King.

According to the stories, he could reflect all magic. Although Alicia did not have the chance to witness it in action, there was no room for doubt of that true strength of his.

Going by hearsay, he was considerably close to being a Demon King.

Edelgart tilted her head.

Bu, t~Feels like, allied with, Races?

Come to think of it, Edelgart-sama and Diablo-sama had met once before.

She nodded.

Yes, unfortunately. I had even caught sight of signs of him avoiding to kill people of the Races.

Thats, whyDemon King-sama, is in, different place, maybe?

Just as she said, Diablo was not the Demon King, and Alicia also thought of the possibility that the genuine Demon King was elsewhere.

Since it seemed that the Demonic Beings could feel the Demon Kings existence with their skin, if Diablo were the real one, they might be able to tell the difference by directly touching him.

That was something impossible for Alicia.

This made her think that the Races really are inferior and unsightly.

Sh

e decided to go onto the main topic.

Now then, although I wasnt able to investigate Diablo-sama himself as he didnt have any openings, I did try investigating the Pantherian called Rem that was beside himAnd I myself was deeply touched by the beautifulness of the soul that was within her.

Demon King-sama?

Her eyes became sharp.

Alicia tilted her head looking troubled.

To what degree of accuracy does the Identification Magic that you taught me go up to?

To degree of good luck charm? If the knack is known, you know. If dont, vague?

Then unfortunately, I cannot say it for certain. However, for me, I feel that the Demon King-samas soul just might be within the girl called Rem.

Edelgart tilted her head as if mimicking Alicia.

What are plans? Kill?

Will Demon King-sama be revived if she is killed?

NnDont know. Have to try.

Wouldnt the problem in that be that it could be lost? Moreover, Diablo-sama is at Rems side. How should I proceed with this?

Leave to you.

FufuI shall respond to your faith in me. Once I return to Faltra City, at that timeBecause right now, I need to report that there is nothing strange so that the royal capitals State Knights and army dont get in the way.

Carry you, to royal capital?

Edelgart looked deep into the forest.

Her favorite mounta type of Demonic Beast known as a Ground Dragon, was in waiting.

Alicia shook her head.

No. If I were to move too quickly, it would become suspicious.

NnThen, ah, Edelgart will, go to Demonic Beings priest, and try asking if there is other methods of revival.

Diablo-sama is much too strongPlease be careful not to be sensed.

Edelgart knows.

It was a dissatisfied sounding voice.

Because the conversation had ended with that, Edelgart departed.

Alicia was spellbound and gazed at her retreating figure.

Beautiful.

A very beautiful existence.

If only a world where beings such as her rule, if only a world of beautiful Demonic Beings would come.

The unsightly Races should just disappear.

That was the only thing that Alicia desired.
