They said it was impossible to destroy this space right away. Although I was free to leave, I was worried that I would be forced to leave, so I designed a plan to prevent Seira and I from leaving easily. It has a complex structure to understand, so I don’t know exactly. Still, it’s taking a few days to solve, so there’s not much left until I leave.

And, we talked a lot before leaving. The conversation of the body was also a conversation, but it was a more constructive topic. It was an in-depth story, including the hero of death and the invasion of the devil. In particular, I brought up an old story. It was enough to make her obsessed with me and make her listen to my demands, but I also wanted to gain Stella’s trust. Only then will you believe in me and open the door, and will continue to add strength to the army against the devil.

“Son-in-law… … You worked hard.”

“Daron… … . I heard it a little bit last time, but it makes me sad to hear it again.”

The mother and daughter were shedding tears. It was natural for Seira to cry, but I didn’t expect Stella to have her eyes wet like that. Even though he was a dragon, he didn’t dismiss the experience of being like a dog like me as nothing special. A life of being framed, hurt, and ignored by everyone, whether women or men. However, he participated in the war until the end… … In the end, while trying to kill the Demon King, he returned to the past.

Besides, what I said had to be true. I once wore a magical tool called the Bell of Truth to prove my wrongdoing in front of Stella. This time, the same magic tool was used to prove the truth of my words.

“Daron. Do you know about the goddess of death, and saints and warriors?”

“I don’t know. As I said last time, that bitch called the Saint of Death forcibly gave me the warrior’s protection, saying I was the right person and all.”

“The warrior’s protection. You probably know this. The power that Goddess Gaia grants to those who will protect humans.”

That is the warrior Charlotte.

“As the son-in-law knows, the hero’s protection is transferred to the best creature that can withstand that protection. You know. A new hero appears immediately after the death of the previous hero.”

“I know. That warrior bitch was a former friend.”

“And there is a saint to assist the warrior.”

Unlike warriors, saints did not always exist in every period. There are several cases of saints appearing. However, there was only one reason why a saint named Ray appeared this time. It must be because of the devil.

So the empire noticed that the Demon King’s movements were unusual and was preparing for war.

“By the way, did you know that Gaia is originally the goddess of life?”

life.

Since I thought there was only one goddess, I just called her Goddess.

“The one in the exact opposite position to Gaia is Ceres, the goddess of death, right?”

Ceres.

Odelia, the Saint of Death, had certainly called it that way in the past.

“That’s right.”

“Why is it not known?”

“First of all, I didn’t bother to tell people that name because I wanted it to be forgotten. Because you said you lost most of your strength a long time ago… … .”

It seems like he wanted to be forgotten.

“Do you know about Sentai Death Hero?”

“I don’t know. Could it be that the protection of the Death Hero also moves?”

“No. The conditions for Death Hero are quite strict.”

I think it’s a form that can be easily moved around like Charlotte’s warrior’s protection.

“Do you remember? The condition of having to sacrifice countless deaths.”

“Yes. That’s what the Saint of Death said at that time.”

“And… … You probably noticed it too. A person who has experienced “death.” You know this doesn’t mean you’re killing or watching anyone, right?

“The moment of return… … Are you saying he was dead?”

“That’s right.”

I don’t remember exactly. At that time, I was only conscious of how to deal with the Demon King, so I returned to the past at the moment when the jewel I was holding was shining.

… … You have to die once to be eligible to become a warrior of death. At first glance, it made no sense. It’s not like someone barely comes back to life right before death, and I’ve never heard of anyone coming back to life after experiencing complete death.

“So, originally, out of ten warriors of death, all were undead.”

“Ah. That’s right.”

If you experience death and come back to life as an undead, you meet the conditions. According to Stella, the undead had the qualifications to become a warrior of death.

“But usually, undead are bound to be weaker than when they were alive. Even though your body is dead, even if you gain the hero’s protection, do you think you will be stronger than the true hero you knew?”

When you become undead, your organs and muscles all rot first. Eventually, bones will remain. Of course, she will be strong if she receives the protection of a hero, but she cannot be defeated by a hero like Charlotte.

“So I think I found a shortcut.”

“So, originally, I died at the end, but I came back to life by returning with the jewel… … . You mean that the fact of death itself remains the same?”

“Yes.”

and.

I expected it, but hearing it so clearly gave me goosebumps.

“Is it a plan? … Or maybe it’s just a coincidence, I don’t know… … .”

Accident.

plan?

Was it the Goddess of Death’s plan that I went through so many wars in the past, survived in the end, and dealt the final blow to the Demon King?

It wasn’t impossible, but it didn’t make sense either.

“If.”

I make one assumption.

“What if the Demon King was a candidate to become the hero of death? That hero was just a decoration to begin with. in other words… … What if the candidate to become the representative of the Goddess of Death was the Demon King?”

“… … It’s not a nonsense story.”

Stella also agreed with my hypothesis. Collecting the energy of death is simple. All you have to do is start a war. What if you cheated on the condition that you have to die once by using a gem to receive power from the Goddess of Death?

“But… … If that’s true… … Wouldn’t the devil have been quick to commit suicide?”

Stella’s point. It’s a somewhat plausible opinion, but it quickly loses validity.

“… … What if the devil didn’t know?”

“Hmm?”

“I didn’t know that before I awakened as a warrior. After regression… … If I were the goddess of death, or the saint of death… … I would have approached you in advance. And he probably tried to persuade me to give me strength.”

“So you’re saying that he had an ulterior motive to force the Demon King to become his servant, just like he did to you?”

“Yes. But suddenly, I stole that jewel and returned in its place… … You must be paying attention to me now.”

In other words, I ended up intercepting the power that the Demon King had.

“Son-in-law.”

“Yes.”

“According to what the son-in-law said… … It could be more serious than you think.”

“Yes… … Joe.”

“If you don’t get eaten by that power, you’ll be lucky, but if you happen to corrupt it, there may be no one to stop you. Did you say Charlotte? That warrior? Anyway, originally, a hero of death cannot defeat a hero of life.”

I heard that because they are undead, they lack physical abilities.

“But you are completely alive and at the same time you have become a warrior of death. This is unprecedented. So, I won’t be defeated by the Hero of Life… … Haha.”

“Don’t worry. I will never be eaten by this power. It’s a shitty world, but I promised to try to save it.”

Lucia comes to mind. I will never forget that night when we reunited for the first time in a long time.

ah.

for a moment.

“Mother-in-law. Are there more cases where people have memories from before regression? Just like me.”

“With you, the son-in-law who was the one responsible for the return… … Like a goddess? Not only the goddess of life Gaia, but probably the goddess of death also has memories of before returning.”

“But… … Not me, but an ordinary human… … Would you believe it if I had memories from before?”

“Ordinary human?”

In Odelia’s case, she must have known about my return because she heard it directly from the Goddess of Death. And of course Gaia, the god I met before, was aware of my return. Even they understand. However, Lucia’s case was a bit puzzling. It was great that the feelings we shared before were still the same, but this was an issue that needed to be addressed. At least I needed to know the cause.

“Honestly, I don’t know.”

Stella couldn’t answer my question.

“In addition to you and the goddess who did the regression yourself, you also come back with memories from before the regression? To put it bluntly, the Demon King who originally possessed the Jewel of Return did that—even if I had to force myself to accept it. But it doesn’t make sense for an ordinary person to have memories, right?”

“Are you saying it’s impossible?”

“In the first place, this is the first case like the son-in-law. I haven’t even looked at the Gem of Return myself, so all I can guess for now is guessing. Since the goddess is a transcendent being, let’s say she retains her memories. But there is no reason for humans to do that. So what kind of person is that person?”

“Mmm. He is the human being I love.”

“… … It’s a female, right?”

Talking about other women in front of Dragon’s mother-in-law was like getting hit by a breath. However, since Stella had already been corrupted by my dick, there was nothing she could do to get angry.

“Do you have any special characteristics other than loving? I’m probably curious about what the connection is.”

“If there is… … He was the only lover who loved me before I returned.”

“If you were you before regression… … .”

Stella had just heard how fucking hard I had been. If she loved me like that, she would fully understand how much affection I have for her.

“Do I still have the memories because I was in love with you? Umm… … In some ways, it’s touching… … .”

“Realistically speaking, you are saying that it is unlikely to be that reason, right?”

“Ah… … I don’t know. Is it because she was the only female he ever loved? That human woman is definitely trustworthy, right?”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to her that I didn’t fall in the first place. If it weren’t for her, it would have been consumed by the energy of death and become a disaster, just as you feared.”

The woman who helped me become who I am today is actually plotting something… … That can’t be possible. I am the only woman who can take out my heart and give it to you. The same goes for Lucia. Because their relationship is such that they love and trust each other, there is no need to doubt Lucia’s identity.

“Then I’ll take a look at it later. Please introduce me.”

“Yes.”

Still, it is important to know the reason, so Stella, the dragon, needs to take a look.
