Chapter 304
Chapter 304 - Let's Wake Up the Devil King
Right now, Kazane was dozing .
The Supreme Ruler's Mask, Dairokuten Maou Armor, and Dairokuten Maou Odachi desired to rule .
In Zexiaharts' explanation, those items only changed the player's personality settings, but in the real world, it seemed they caused something like a will distorting Curse .
Currently, Kazane had completely lost her sanity due to mental pollution from the strong magical arms . Still mad, her desire for ruling led her to play the part of Devil King Kazanerian like she had pretended to be in the past, and she changed her name to Devil King Asura Kazanerian .
And right now, Kazane was dozing .
She was taking out her full power, behaving as a Devil King, and playing with her companions .
It was exceedingly fun . Yes, it was a fun thing . So she laughed .
The current Kazane could understand everything .
Why this world existed .
Why players came to this world .
And what she herself was .
That day,『simply for the sake of saving Yumika』, she detached the final human part of herself and offloaded her into the world, where she acted like a human once again .
Inside that prison of time that could be called eternal, she finally obtained her ideal world .
And even though she should have cut off the part of her heart that desired this, she felt happy .
Right now, everything looked like it was shining to Kazane .
Her overflowing tears not stopping was natural . How long had she continued despairing about her own circumstances, and at the same time, how long had she been craving for this? She parted from her father and mother solely to wait for this time . Like someone cursed, she had desired this salvation . Many times, she was betrayed and scorned, but she continued to protect her friends, her younger brother, and her comrades .
And after a long time of doing so, the thing called her will became complicated, and for the sake of preserving her self, she changed to something that could no longer be called human, but a specialized existence whose only function was protecting .
After going that far, how miraculous was it that she finally obtained a world that had Yumika, Naoki, and Yuuko-nee?
「Time's up, Kazane-san . 」
A voice suddenly resounded .
「A trance state has been considered a method to commune with the gods since time immemorial . Connecting became easy due to the mental pollution, right?」
A pure white world . Despite this being inside Kazane's mind, that appeared .
「We also should have thought about the existence of a backdoor . Well, I also entered from there, though . 」
Kazane recognized that voice . The boy god Norman was there .
Kazane should have been the only thing in this mental world, but with the appearance of the existence called Norman, an existence of her own was also born in this interior world . Since she was no longer the only one there, an individual shell was necessary .
「That doesn't mean you did it intentionally, right? The fact that you unconsciously made a Path to that body is something that can't be helped . I also understand your desire to go back . However, if you don't separate soon, that vessel will break?」
After those words, Kazane nodded . She understood that her dream time was over .
Then the overlapping existences called Kazane slowly separated until she split into two .
One Kazane had an extremely satisfied expression, and the other Kazane blinked in surprise when she saw that Kazane . But the surprised Kazane also smiled when she saw the satisfied Kazane, and she nodded .
Then Norman told her .
「Kazane-san . You probably won't remember anything about this . The knowledge you acquired here should no longer be inside you . Even if a little remained, it should settle in the deepest depths of your memory, like the memory of a dream . 」
「I am……?」
Various meanings were loaded into Kazane's question . Norman answered slowly .
「You are Yuihama Kazane . A foreigner from a distant world, a player . You're not special or important; the only thing special about you is the way you were born . You can live as you like and die as you like . You're something different from us, who are incorporated into the world's mechanisms . 」
Norman only spoke to that extent about the truth of the existence called Yuihama Kazane . And Kazane also understood that the part of herself those words didn't apply to was currently standing next to Norman .
「Ah, that's right . It's a measure for the backdoor, but I gave you a freebie just in case, so you should return to normal when you wake up . 」
「Huh?」
Kazane realized that his atmosphere was different from before and tilted her head .
「Well, there's only about one minute left, but I'll leave the settlement to you . No, in the first place, it's like I was rounded up due to your mistake . I don't care to go as far as patching things up . 」
「Eh, Norman-san . Are you angry about something?」
Kazane was bewildered by his strangely forceful words, and Norman laughed .
「Well, I was enjoying the rice crackers and Sayama tea I ordered from the east countries when there was an emergency scramble . I'm worried that Rezon has eaten everything by now . It's shameful . 」
So saying, his shoulders dropped, and after he sighed, he said「Farewell!」and started disappearing . The Kazane next to Norman also waved her hand and started disappearing .
「Ah, wait a second!?」
