“I have manifested to teach you how to use your power. You can acquire more power. But… do you truly desire it?”
“I…”
I lowered my gaze.
Honestly, I had completely lost the reason to fight.
Currently, humans and the demon race are in a state of truce.
The demon race’s country is protected by a barrier, and without destroying it, humans cannot invade.
The only force capable of breaking that barrier is… The sacred sword I possess, Faryaleida.
If I am in the demon race’s country, humans cannot easily attack.
Therefore, my course of action has a significant impact on whether the war resumes or not.
What should I do…?
I have no desire at all to fight against the demon army at this point.
However, I naturally want to bring peace to the human world.
It would be better to achieve peace without fighting…
“So, let me ask you a question. What is your plan, Master?”
“Eh?”
“Will you stay in this demon country forever?”
“T-That’s…”
I got stuck in my words.
After the last battle with the Demon King, it has been a question I have consciously avoided since I woke up in this country.
It was a question I had been deliberately avoiding the answer to.
As I spent time with Vilarzord, I began to think that it would be nice to be able to have this kind of time forever.
Although my time in the Demon King’s country is brief… It was the first time in my life that I experienced such serene and kind times.
Did I desire more power…?
Unable to give a clear answer to Faria’s question, I decided to temporarily end my training.
I went through a thorough training to stay in shape.
When I returned the sacred sword to the dimensional space, Faria also disappeared.
If the sacred sword is being summoned to this world, Faria can also manifest in this world.
And just as if she had been waiting for that,
“Sion!”
With her long pale pink hair fluttering, Vilarzord ran towards me.
“I thought you had gone somewhere. I was worried.”
“Yes, I was training a bit.”
When I said that, Vilarzord suddenly fell silent.
She lowered her head, shoulders trembling.
“I am relieved. I thought you had already gone back to the human world.”
“…Are you crying, Vila?”
“…!”
Vilarzord hastily raised her head.
Tears seemed to well up in her eyes.
“I’m sorry… From now on, I’ll inform you before going out to train.”
“No, I’m the one who should apologize. I think I worried too much.”
Vilarzord smiled.
“I’m happy that you’re here, Sion.”
“Vila…”
“I want you to… always be here…”
Vila whispered.
My heart beat strongly.
I…
Also wanted to be here forever.
I began to realize my own feelings.
