Lord Demon is behind you

The brave man was a little confused.He seemed to catch something vaguely, but also seemed to be unable to understand anything.

To say "treat her as a human being" seems to be the case, but it is more strange to treat a creature that can think and talk, and treat her as a different kind.But this……

"Does this have anything to do with the current situation...?"

"Of course it has something to do with it!" The Demon King shook his shoulders resentfully, "Do you think it's wrong to treat her as a human being?"

of course not.To this day, the brave still insists that there is no essential difference between Stella and any human being.

"Since this is the case, you don't need to feel guilty, Brave! You just treat her as a human being, there is nothing wrong with it."

"But in the end it turned out—"

The Demon King dragged him up involuntarily.

"You humans always walk into such a misunderstanding that is either black or white. In fact, the opposite of the wrong is not necessarily correct. If you can't go to the destination by going left, it doesn't mean that you can definitely go to the right. In short, it is not What did you do wrong to lead to this situation!"

Is it not that I did something wrong...?

It seems to make sense, but I always feel that there is something wrong...

"Besides, that puppet... what she wants is your affirmation of the meaning of her existence, right? Just tell her the fact that you recognize her as a human being." Over the shoulder of the brave man, the demon king far away Yuan glanced over there, and then pushed his back, "Should be able to satisfy her?"

"Yes, is that so..."

"...Ah, I am indeed satisfied."

The girl's voice echoed in the spacious room.

"Hey?"

Both the Demon King and the Hero were taken aback.

The brave man turned around like an electric shock.Witch Stella was still standing there, but her face was slightly raised, turned to this side.

"You...you must have heard everything, right?"

"Of course I can hear it. I just have a limited range of attacks and my hearing is not damaged....It's better to say that now I only have my hearing intact."

Her face lacks eyes and a nose, meaning she has no sense of sight or smell after becoming a witch.

The brave man opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.For some reason, he was a little embarrassed, this feeling... a bit like talking about others in private but being hit by the boss.

As for the devil king, he was probably a creature who didn't know how to write the word embarrassment.At this time, he asked frankly for him: "Since I heard everything, what do you think?"

The witch's head moved slightly again.

"...Master Brave," she said, "what on earth are you thinking? Can you tell me yourself? What I want to hear... is not the guesswork spoken by this devil worm, But what you really think. What am I in your heart?"

The brave man looked at her face, which was flat, without any ups and downs where he could feel emotions.However, it was very unbelievable that he could feel her emotions called "anxiety" and "expectation".

At this moment, he realized very clearly that the hope that the other party longed for could indeed be conveyed through his words.

The brave man took a deep breath.

"In my heart, Miss Stella is an important companion. . . . There is no doubt that, like every other companion of mine, she is gentle and excellent, 'human'."

"--what……"

She let out a short sigh.

"It's really, unbelievable... It's just that I feel so happy when you say that. It seems to be placed in a very warm position. In the heart of Mr. Brave, have I always been a 'person' like you?"

"Yeah, we've always been the same. . . . have always been equal."

"is that so……"

The witch raised her hands and touched the upper half of her cheek.

"I don't have eyes anymore. But what's going on with this feeling... a little bitter, a little sour, something swells here. Want to... ah, want to cry?"

She spoke intermittently.

"If I am also an equal person to you, then...can I also speak out? I can also, like them, speak out my heart?"

"Ah. I'll listen to whatever you say."

The brave man took a few steps forward slowly.

This picture is definitely not beautiful.The young man covered in trauma stood opposite to the dark witch who looked like a half-finished sculpture in the dim light of the room.

Chaotic composition and color scheme.

"——I like, Brave-sama. I like Brave-sama the most. I have always loved you, with the intention of not losing to anyone...not to, anyone, people..."

"...That's it. The feeling of really saying it, so it's like this, ah."

"Miss Stella..."

"It's very warm," she put her hands on her chest, "It's very reassuring, even if you know that you will be rejected, you are still very reassuring. Because Mr. Brave will definitely respect this kind of heart, and will definitely send blessings to each other with me... So even if I feel a little bit unwilling, I will never hold grudges against anyone. If I had understood from the beginning, and said so from the beginning, it would be fine..."

"It's not too late to understand now," the Demon King who has been acting as the background from afar just now finally interjected, "Among the human group, isn't there a lot of people who are obsessed with obsession until death?"

"..." There was a moment of silence.

"—Please shut up that devil bug over there for now," she paused. "The reasoning may be correct, but when I think of being educated by a guy like you, I don't know why it gets very angry."

"Of course, just like I was very unhappy to hear your affectionate confession to the brave man." The devil smiled maliciously, "Because I and you women are rivals in love. Although you are stupid, stupid and Crazy, no matter the appearance or the strength, I have completely crushed it, and when it comes to understanding the brave, it is far inferior to—"

"Hey, you..." Are you really trying to provoke her on purpose?Regardless of appearance and appearance, the opponent is stronger now in terms of strength, right? !

"However, there is only one thing. Only this feeling in your heart is something that I cannot deny."

The Demon King suddenly changed the subject.

"Only this feeling is the most real. In the face of love, no matter how humble a creature is, it stands on the starting line of unconditional equality. So, in this regard, let me admit it for the time being-you are indeed a Is my opponent!"

"...In general, there is nothing to be happy about being recognized by a guy like you...but——"

The pair of wings on the witch's back finally flapped, shaking slightly, bringing her body slightly off the ground.

"In this way, I have no regrets. I have indeed lived as a human being... Although as a 'human'," she paused slightly on the word "human", "it ended when I became a demon; and As Stella's life, it's just right to end here. Come on, Brave-sama."

she said so.

"Use your sword, come and give me the end."

The witch began to fly slowly around the room.Her wings are not as powerful as Emily's, so they can only take her a little off the ground and move at a speed slightly faster than walking; because she has no vision, she can only fly by following the sound.

"Have you heard the hero? This is her wish. There is nothing to hesitate, and I will leave it to you!"

The Demon King threw two spells of magic resistance on the brave man, and then hid directly in the corner.Stella's magic resistance value at this moment is ridiculously high, and his magic can't cause damage at all.

"--I know!"

The brave man rushed forward to face the witch.There was no hesitation in this action.

After rushing into her attack range, middle and low-level elemental magic poured down like raindrops as before.The Holy Sword of the Brave was unsheathed, and all the fireballs, ice picks, etc. that were rushing towards him were sent flying.

"Farewell, ... my companion."

■

Although he said it simply, he still experienced a lot of hard work afterwards.

Even if Stella herself has no willingness to attack, she is still a mobile turret that attacks indiscriminately.The brave once had to temporarily retreat to resupply due to low blood volume, but after repeated several times, she finally managed to reduce her blood bar to zero.

"That's good..."

After being fatally injured, the witch slowly fell to the ground.The body starts from the end and gradually turns into nothingness data.

"I'm very happy right now. It's so strange. Even though I'm about to disappear and I'll never see Mr. Brave again, I'm still very happy...it must be because you watched me see you off at the end."

"When I was demonized, I discarded the 'part' that belonged to humans. Only the part that blindly longed to 'become a human' was left. So, this is the best."

No expression could be seen on her face, but the brave man believed that she must be smiling in relief at this moment.

"Finally...the upper steps are over there..."

The wall in one corner of the room was slowly moved away, revealing the upward spiral staircase.

"Please be very, careful. She on the third floor is very...in advance, I wish you prosperity..."

After leaving the final blessing, her figure completely disappeared.

The brave man stood quietly where she was, staring at the place where she disappeared for a long time.

"That's it... right?"

At the last moment of her life, did she feel happy?

The Demon King walked up to him, but he didn't answer the question, he just handed the red medicine bottle to him silently.

"Thank you, brave man."

The brave man took the medicine bottle slowly, sat down on the spot, and let out a long breath.

"Ah... I haven't done anything that can be called hard work, but I am indeed a little tired."

"Anyway, thanks to having you here this time," he suddenly remembered something, and said, "When I was at a loss, it was you who helped me remove the obstacles in my mind, so I must say thank you. Thank you , Albert."

"...!"

The demon king who was called by his name blushed again in a very useless manner.

"You, brave, how should I put it... Although simplicity and clarity are your strengths, but occasionally it is really hard to resist..."

"Really?" The brave man lowered his eyes slightly, "I am indeed often judged by my companions as a rough nerve."

It may be because the companions are all women, but in terms of delicate thoughts, the brave man is inferior no matter what, and often cannot accurately understand the minds of others.

For example, in this incident, although the solution was very simple and clear, if it hadn't been pointed out by the Demon King, neither he nor Stella would have realized the deviation of each other's thinking.

"Speaking of which," he asked thinking of this, "are you not a demon? Isn't the thinking circuit of demons completely different from that of humans? Why can you understand human feelings?"

The author has something to say:

Correct a BUG yesterday,

The reason why I didn't use long-range magic attack to directly kill the boss who doesn't take the initiative to attack is because the magic resistance of the boss in the form of a witch is very high, and the magic attack is basically ineffective.
