“<Teo Trias>!” (Ledoriano)

A huge shell of light comes at me and I release my <Teo Trias> as well.

Light and light collide turning the world completely white.

As the 2 shells collide I’m the one who’s pushed slightly back.

“….Fufufu. After all, mazoku cannot beat the hearts of us humans. They don’t know love. Don’t know true hope. Zeshia, let’s finish this in one go. Human feelings. Let me remind you that they’re hundreds of times stronger than the mazoku’s!” (Ledoriano)

Did they collect more human desires? The momentum of their <Teo Trias> has increased many times more.

My light magic bullet is quickly pushed further back until their magic is right at the tip of my nose.

“This is the end!!” (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano adds the last of the magic power just as it happened.

The song sounds out.

“That..night.. was just on a whimー♪” (fan union)

My <Teo Trias> slightly pushes Ledoriano’s <Teo Trias> back.

“Your..body.. quietly♪ I caressー♪” (fan union)

My <Teo Trias> gains more momentum.

“It..was..a..misunderstanding, what I diiiiiid♪” (fan union)

Our <Teo Trias’> are now even.

“Oh! My desired approooach, was..it..fun~♪” (fan union)

My <Teo Trias> is now approaching those guys.

“Playing around and having a good time, only to be cast away is your fate♪” (fan union)

“……No….way…… I can’t lose….. to only eight people with the tiny hearts of the mazoku. Our human love……. is it going to lose……!?” (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano is trying to extract more power but my <Teo Trias> is almost at his face.

“Alas, you didn’t notice, you were only my playthingー♪” (fan union)

“Kuh, guuuuuuuu…….. This….. from such a song. These feelings from such a stupid song……!!” (Ledoriano)

“Please don’t mourn ♪ Uuuuu ♪ I’ll be serious~♪” (fan union)

“…..Humans, our desires….. Don’t look down on theeeeeem…..!!” (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano’s and Zeshia’s <Teo Trias> was swallowed by light.

“Can’t be serious, uuuuuー♪ Peerless demon king~~~~~~♪” (fan union)

A huge explosion went off shining with the love of my fan union.

Ledoriano and Zeshia were swallowed and blown away.

Before the love of my fan union, they were scattered.

Eventually, the flood of light calmed down and I turned my gaze to the body moving feebly on the ground.

“….Wh…..why…..? Why….to only 8 people….?” (Ledoriano)

A stunned Ledoriano was muttering in amazement.

It seems he still can’t understand why he lost.

“<Ask> and <Teo trias> combine peoples desires into one. 2000 years ago the people of Gairadeite were united in overthrowing the demon king of tyranny and had a great deal of trust in the hero Kanon. If it was him, people truly believed he would save the world. It was a strong desire above all others.” (Arnos)

Humans were in danger of dying. In fact, it was an unprecedented situation where they were truly in danger of becoming extinct. Even in that situation because they were able to believe in the hero Kanon their feelings became one. They were stronger and nobler and as such, they turned into vast amounts of magic power.

“Do you understand? Compared to the very heavy expectations that Kanon was carrying at that time your expectations are worthless. 10 million or whatever, numbers don’t come into it. In this peaceful world the hope that is sent to you, a student, is trivial. In fact, you aren’t even able to unite their thoughts.” (Arnos)

As they are, they cannot use the true power of <Ask>.

There’s no point even comparing it to the thoughts of those 8 who were prepared to stake their very lives.

“I won’t say that human love is inferior to mazoku love but the love sent is very different.” (Arnos)

Without accepting reality but unable to refute it Ledoriano hangs his head.

<De Igeria> heals his wounds but he doesn’t attempt to stand up.

No matter how many times a body is healed you can’t heal a crushed heart.

He has realised that the love he believed in right up to today was nothing but an illusion.

Now then…..

“….Nn?”

I heard something. Didn’t I?

Did I mishear?

No, it’s different.

It’s not Ledoriano’s nor Zeshia’s voice.

It’s not the fan union singing.

It’s not <Liikus> either.

This voice is directly entering my heart through <Ask>

“…Zoku.”

No ones talking anywhere.

“…..Kill mazoku….”

I used <Ask> again and the voice was coming from the magic itself.

Long ago I heard this familiar voice.
