Albrecht, the woman with the sharpest insight in the empire, asked.

“At that time… Can you describe your appearance?”

I stroked Maria’s hair while she was sleeping. Even if you are buried in her chest, it is quite possible to raise your hands above your head.

Well, you have to be a little careful when speaking. You shouldn’t wake Maria up by shaking her mouth.

“It was the first time even the original woman, who had seen countless races in the imperial archives, had seen it.”

“Don’t get your hopes up. Because I can’t explain that.”

“Even as a mystery reward?”

“Yes.”

“Tsk… A worthless bastard.”

Albrecht cursed softly.

“A huge pillar came down from the sky, and you collided with it. I saw it all.”

“Really?”

“Even though I was caught by the physical education teacher in the end and escaped. that… Their appearances were so different that it was hard to find any connection, but it was definitely you.”

“I won’t deny it. The giant was me.”

“What is your purpose?”

Instead of answering, I stretched out my hand. Albrecht, who was kneeling next to me, held his head.

sudden-!

“Yap.”

I pulled it up at once. Albrecht was dragged towards my lower body without much resistance. She buries her head in my thigh.

“This guy… !”

Albrecht clenched his fists and growled. But he couldn’t even move due to the strength of my grip.

“Same as your highness now.”

“What?”

“My situation.”

I kept my upper body fixed in Maria’s arms and only moved the joints of my lower body. Normally, this would be impossible due to the structure of the human body where all muscles are connected, but it is possible for me now. Because each thought can be moved separately.

I put Albrecht’s face between my thighs. And tightened. Albrecht, out of breath, struggled in pain, scratching my skin with his fingernails, but his body was only twisted and tangled due to the long royal dress.

I whispered in a dry tone to Albrecht, whose face was red.

“There is something I want to do, but I don’t have the strength to achieve it.”

“Keu, ugh… . Like thighs, you mean… ?”

“Yes. If this goes on for a while, I will suffocate and die. So, I try to build my strength somehow within that limited time. It’s as if Your Highness is trying to find a knife and stab me in the thigh. Don’t you need to remove the obstacle?”

After finishing speaking, he released his legs. Albrecht, whose body had lost all strength, fell down between my crotches and gulped.

“Wow… Ugh… If there’s an obstacle to you, it’s that demon lord… ?”

It’s sharp even though there’s little oxygen in the head. I smiled and nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Demon King… I only heard that he was extremely strong. I don’t really know anything about him.”

After taking a breather, Albrecht did not get angry as expected. Instead, he lay flat on the floor and heaved his chest.

“That’s right, it’s dirty.”

“The one who sentenced you and the saint to death in your last life, and the one who defeated the hero, was also the devil.”

“It’s an obstacle, but the obstacle is too big. I have to jump over it, but I need the jumping power to be able to jump the highest in the world.”

“Now that I think about it, you said you have the power of predation to absorb other people’s souls, right? I heard that in my previous life I absorbed the Dragon Lord, and in this life I absorbed the warrior Claire and the dragon king Endros.”

Do you remember that? Usually, after experiencing a great tragedy, people tend to completely forget what happened before, but Albrecht seems to have completely escaped that kind of thing.

“Or… Did you absorb that ‘pillar’ as well?”

“Oh? Why did you think that?”

“Aren’t you a regressor? We assessed the psychology of the returnee. You will draw the future you want with the knowledge that only you know. In other words, almost everything about the future surrounding you will be completely governed by your calculations. The same goes for that pillar.”

“You think I summoned that pillar?”

“It may be so, it may not be. It may have been originally planned to appear there. One thing is for sure, you knew. That existence will appear.”

“Well, let’s just say it’s the correct answer.”

“Demon King… I can’t tell how strong he is, but aren’t you planning on catching him anyway? For a peaceful life with the saint.”

“Yes. Isn’t that a pretty normal reason? Most people fight to protect what is theirs.”

“It is rare to find someone who sacrifices ten people for that purpose and summons something as monstrous as that pillar.”

It seems that the conversation with Albrecht will not end immediately. I reluctantly took my head away from Maria’s embrace. If you keep kissing her, one day she will feel the waves and wake up.

“Keu… So what do you want to say? Why do I keep spinning it around?”

I carefully placed Maria’s head in my arms. When I held it up, I noticed soft cheeks. Out of a moment of humorous curiosity, I pinched Maria’s cheek with my finger. Luckily she didn’t wake up.

“This incident must have been part of that. An act to become powerful enough to stand against the devil.”

“That’s right. I feasted on that pillar. Thanks to this, I became stronger than before.”

“Wasn’t you originally strong?”

“I told you so. The Demon King is truly on a different level. This is not a guy who can be viewed from the perspective of a ‘strong’ creature.”

“Is there still a long way to go?”

“Not to that extent. Just go up a little higher. The problem is that it is extremely difficult to raise that ‘just a little’. Because we have already transcended the extreme and reached the extreme.”

While we were chatting like that, Albrecht suddenly became tired and tried to lean on my left arm. I got scared and took my hand away. Bean – Albrecht, with his head on the floor, groans while clutching his forehead.

“Well, what are you doing? Why?”

“… why… .”

“What are you going to do when Maria wakes up? Do you want to get scolded? Would you like to take me on a roller coaster ride in the air? Do you want to do 37 somersaults?”

“Ha… Who is angry with whom?”

I can’t understand at all. Why are you suddenly trying to use my arm as a pillow?

“It’s just that I felt like the affection I had for so far was quite deep, so I wanted to give it a try. I didn’t expect to be hit with such extreme cold.”

“It’s because he usually leans on my thighs and suddenly tries to grab my arm.”

“The main woman is definitely a person with emotions. Honestly, it’s unpleasant. My wife is not the kind of person to go anywhere and be treated like this.”

“Hmm? Really?”

discomfort. And empathy.

This is a virtue that Maria repeatedly emphasized. It is said that if others feel uncomfortable, they should immediately reflect on their actions and be considerate to others.

Sigh… We can be edified by following Mary’s words. I reluctantly offered my left arm to Albrecht.

“Hmm?”

“Why are you just looking at me like an idiot? He said he wanted to lean on him.”

“I didn’t know you would allow it.”

“I know it’s thanks to the saint.”

“Puhhh… .”

Albrecht quickly lay down with a smile that would disappear like a lingering scent. The weight of two girls’ heads poured into both arms.

“But… Isn’t Your Highness likely to be offended by something like this? Even though you are a human being who is not swayed by society’s prejudices and viewpoints, were you really offended?”

“Oh my, I got caught.”

“… !”

“Ahaha, feel free to pass over. That is the virtue of a gentleman.”

I took a hit. What kind of emotional acting is so vague? From the furrowing of the eyebrows to the fluttering of the eyes, it was the look of a person who felt completely insulted.

“Grunt… A gentleman can’t help it.”

Still, it’s not a very bad feeling. No, it actually feels warm because there are people stacked on top of each other.

It would be the worst if Maria found out about this. You will be overtaken by a storm of jealousy.

“What did you say the devil’s personality was like?”

“Him? He’s a psychopath. They don’t know how to empathize with others.”

“No, no, that’s natural since he’s the devil. Isn’t there something like a vision or dream to hope for?”

“Dream? Of course there is. The devil… I want to feel something. But since she has reached such a high position, I can’t feel anything. You might think that you might feel something when you meet a very strong opponent, but that’s actually an illusion.”

“Why?”

“There can’t be a partner like that. Except me. So, your majesty, please support me. If I lose, there is no hope in this world.”

“… The future of the continent depends on people like you. This is something that cannot be suppressed.”

what? Are you saying I’m unreliable now?

I can’t listen to it because it’s so embarrassing. Okay, taste it.

“Uv… .”

I grabbed Albrecht’s cheek and pulled it gently. Although it is not as elastic as Beatrice, her cheeks are quite long and drawn out.

Perhaps remembering that his previous resistance was meaningless, Albrecht didn’t even try to shake it off. Instead, I worked hard on my pronunciation and spoke.

“Isn’t it originally a warrior’s job to catch the devil?”

“That’s right, but that hero is too weak. I surrendered to the devil.”

“Are you saying that you will take on the hero’s work?”

“You can also say that. By the way, why does a hero kneel? Well, I understand her position. But that won’t happen in this life. Before that, I will settle the matter.”

He spoke loudly, words full of resolute meaning.

“Hero… I guess she had something in mind too.”

“It’s a good idea. He is not a great person worthy of that. Maria guaranteed it.”

“You may believe in a saint, but you are not a saint.”

“… ?”

That night, Albrecht stayed up all night and thought hard about something. Occasionally repeating the name of the warrior Frey.
