“Hey, Pizeon? You want to join the party too?”

{…}

It’s clear that Pizeon never said anything, but I had the illusion that he was looking at me like I was some kind of idiot.

{I can’t eat, Leah. And I came to inform you that the ‘problem’ has been resolved, and the ark has begun its journey to its destination. The estimated time of arrival is 13 minutes.}

“Ahh.. Thank goodness.”

{…wouldn’t you be a little happier?}

“…I don’t know, I have a feeling like that. Is it because I thought it would definitely get better? I don’t think so. I have a more fundamental feeling…”

{Explanation is complete.}

“Oops.”

At first glance, it may seem cold, but there was nothing that could be done about it as a pidgeon. The more Leah tried to recall something that she couldn’t remember, something that probably existed, the more dangerous it was for Leah herself. It was also an action that couldn’t be ignored, even for the sake of her own safety.

“Anyway… I guess I should start getting ready, then. After all, it’s a new dimension.”

“Actually, it’s safe… but how high-tech do you think that system is? This is something close to a mystery that even Galvein hasn’t been able to properly interpret yet. It’s probably the safest place we can go.”

“…No, you have to clean up the party place. If you leave it there, bugs will get in the food…”

“Ah.”

Galvein clicked his chin as if he hadn’t thought of that.

But soon, as if he sensed that he would be coming especially often, Galvein took the lead and started cleaning the room.

The magic that was placed on the Ark is still being dug up. If Galvein had not been a Lich, he would have grown old and died just holding onto the Ark. Obviously. In that sense, it was fortunate for Hira that Galvein was a Lich.

“Ah, I have to direct traffic. You should take Matapju and Han with you. Since you’re human/human/succubus, I think you’ll be able to communicate the best. You’ll be there soon, so don’t make a fuss, and don’t be a jerk about going out alone until I open the door. ”

“ㄴ, yes yes, net!”

Hiraga grabbed Han’s arm and ran towards Dodo.

In fact, Han was almost dragged to the floor.

However, a relationship with a succubus can be an object of jealousy even if it means being attracted to someone who catches your eye.

“…”

“What, why, what. Is it your fault that your relationship is ruined? You said things have gotten better recently. And when you go, people start having fits. You’re literally just bones. If you’re not satisfied, use illusion magic to make yourself look normal and go away.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Galvein followed the two, wearing a human-shaped illusion (at least 6 circles. Hmm, that was a waste of talent.)

“…Did you really follow me?”

“He is my close friend, but I am also… um…”

“Well, the organization is almost finished anyway. No, but it’s still a bit shocking…”

Wait, sigh.

“Well, what can we do? We’ll go down and leave first when we get there. No matter what dimension it is, it’s already more difficult to be in danger with this power.”

“Is that so?”

“Let’s do that. Well, now that I think about it, everything is over, but it’s incredibly distracting.”

“Huh,” Leah answered with a light laugh.

“Well, the end is a new beginning. Isn’t a new beginning better than this bright atmosphere?”

Abel stroked Leah’s head as she shrugged and placed her hand on his waist.

It couldn’t be helped because it was a cute pose.

“That’s right, Leah. I wonder if I’ll always learn from you.”

“That’s what it means to live together. Supporting each other and moving forward.”

“Ahaha, right. Yeah.”

Abel couldn’t help but smile as he walked to the entrance of the ark, perhaps because he liked the simple answer so much.

“What’s wrong, Abel? Did I say something funny?”

“No. I just like it. We had our fair share of problems, didn’t we? Apart from loving each other.”

It certainly was.

In my previous life, I was supporting him all by myself and then I died.

In this life, I became a long-term warrior without knowing anything, and in order to help me, Abel controlled the Demon King’s army and was unilaterally manipulated by the Goddess for my sake.

It was literally tottering, with only one side supporting the other.

I guess that’s when those mismatches started to mesh together?

Yeah, Galvein told me ts… No, but since I have the honor of being one of the Four Heavenly Kings, let’s say it in a way that makes it seem like it.

It must have been from the moment I wrote trans soul.

It was definitely a hellish time right after I was hit by the magic, but it’s true that I met Abel thanks to that magic.

Could that magic be the beginning of everything?

Of course, we still have to figure out how to support each other…

“Yeah, I guess Galvein will wait. Even though he’s doing a bit of digging right now, I’m grateful.”

“…What?? Why did you suddenly come to that conclusion?”

“Hmm. Maybe there is something like that. There is one great achievement that my close friend has made.”

“Why do I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t know…”

Oh, Pave has become gloomy. Pave doesn’t know much about the situation in the Demon King’s Castle before joining.

In times like this, it’s best to leave it to Mino.

While I was watching Mino and Pave roasting sesame seeds, Galvein and Hira came down the stairs to join the group.

“Huh? It ended earlier than I thought?”

“I gave Han a break. Your Majesty. Oh, and I also did it with the Magic Tower Lord. He was praying with a piece of paper that said Noah or something, but I want to check for fanaticism even now…”

“…Is that okay?”

Hey, isn’t Han coming to stab me? Is this the group project, where three people go and only one person works? Has Galvein finally changed from being the victim of the group project to the perpetrator?

“If you do a fanatic test, it will definitely show a serious level, but it’s a waste of paper. Even if you don’t do it, the symptoms are serious, so why bother?”

“Other than that, the cruel history of the group project…”

“What the― I don’t recommend it, but if you look closely, there is a class difference. So it’s really natural. In addition, Han is pushed down by Galbane in the Demon King’s Castle class, and even by Pangea’s standards, he is pushed down by the Demon Tower Lord. It was fate.”

‘”…That, that… Actually, I did it voluntarily… But he… It wasn’t like Galvein… forced me to do it… or anything…? ”

“What on earth did you think I would think of Galvein? Don’t bother explaining it, because nothing will change. But I didn’t know that Matapju wouldn’t explain it at all.”

“Ah, well, they’re the Four Heavenly Kings. So there’s something like trust that the Demon King gives to his closest aides?”

Abel looked at me with a bitter expression and slowly shook his head.

“Leah. Looking at the list of embezzlement that Galvein has committed and the list he filled out at the casino, I don’t expect it to drop any further. It’s already at 0, so where does it drop to? They don’t handle negative values. ”

“…”

I heard it for nothing. Actually, I also have a lot of doubts about the majesty of the Demon King’s army, so I have nothing to say.

“Not that much, Your Majesty.”

“…Okay, honestly… that’s true, but…”

“That’s right.”

“Honestly, I haven’t seen much of it, but it seems right!”

iced coffee…

Is this the Demon King’s Army discipline?

“But when we go to a new dimension, the first impression people in that dimension have of our dimension is how we look, so shouldn’t we be a little more serious…”

“I agree with you. Your Majesty, first impressions have a big impact…”

“I bet you haven’t thought about that either.”

Abel muttered and answered while looking at Hira and Galvein, who had started another light bickering.

“It’s easier to give up. In the first place, when was it serious if not when the situation was serious…”

Well, I gave up.

Leah herself thought so too.

And I didn’t think this kind of atmosphere was bad.

After all, this kind of light atmosphere means everyday life.

A daily life without fighting or bloodshed.

{You can do whatever you want with the comedy, but at least prepare for it.}

“Ready? Can’t you just get off?”

{Well, that doesn’t matter, but the place we arrive at after searching is not safe. There are a bunch of things that look like monsters.}

…How long has it been since I did something daily…

{There was no other location that could be reached with fuel that met the condition of being a place without the oppression of the gods. Well, it wasn’t that difficult of a fight by the standards of the Demon King’s army.}

“So, it’s just a bonus stage?”

{Yes, that’s right. In other words, you can think of it as a level of cleaning.}

“That’s all, okay. Leah, you don’t need to come out. And the Four Heavenly Kings. I’ll clean it up right away. ”

“But wouldn’t it be better for me to do it too?”

“I hope the first scenery you see in a new dimension is not the mobs, but the scenery of that dimension.”

Well, I hoped the same thing would happen to Abel, too. I hoped that the first thing he saw would be the same sight.

“Ahahaha… T,Actually, the Demon King…As expected, this…This time, he didn’t do much…”

“Hira, you too?!”

Oh, was that the reason?

“Hold my hand, Abel.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s go together. Yeah. That’s right. Because I want to share everything with you, the bothersome, the hard, the sad, the painful, the happy, the experiences.”

A step towards a new dimension. I wanted to take the first step, meaning that everything was truly over, with Abel.

Because they were together.

And we will be together from now on, until we die.

“If Leah wants to do that. Okay. Let’s go.”

Abel took my hand.

Perhaps because I was experiencing new emotions, my heart started pounding and racing.

This heart is clearly pounding with happiness.

{Now that we’ve arrived… let’s open the door to the ark right away.}

As Pizeon spoke in a familiar voice, the holograms dispersed and disappeared.

{Then, be happy. This time for sure. … he said.}

Of course, you should be happy.

Because that’s what I put effort into.

And does that mean that the efforts made so far should be rewarded to that extent?

Or is it just a coincidence?

At least, what caught their attention at that moment when the two of them opened the door to the ark together was―

There is a clear sunset in the sky, and a forest of gray pillars―

It was truly a beautiful sight, fitting for a new beginning.
