Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 813
813. [True Ending] First wish (2)
Dawn has passed, morning is just coming.
Ader and I climbed the east wall of the Crossroads together..
“You know very well why the lord's achievements are great.…….”
Ader's voice was much quieter, so I had to listen harder than usual..
“Because you continued to move forward on a not easy path..”
They keep saying it's great, it's amazing, so it's a bit embarrassing to listen to it..
I sheepishly scratched the back of my head.
“Even if you keep raising me up, there’s nothing.”
“Hehehe. I'm just telling the truth..”
“I just stumbled and walked down the path that was right in front of me..”
“But you kept looking at the stars in the sky.”
Ader, standing on the castle wall, whispered.
“That's why you ended up here.”
“…….”
We stood facing east.
The rising sun brightened the sky.
the day was starting.
The first day without monsters, without nightmares, and without beings who treat us like toys... … right now.
“The easy way was always right in front of us. Without conflict or agony, I could have just fought and killed the enemy in front of me and opened the way..”
“…….”
“But you did not give up on the difficult path. You were conflicted, distressed, and attempted to communicate..”
Standing facing the sun, with both eyes closed. Ader took a breath..
“If you have conveniently decided that it was a mistake to have an enemy and that you must be killed..”
I listened to his story..
“If you gave up on talking to an opponent with a deep gap between you from the beginning. If you didn't try to love even the ugliness of others, if you couldn't pity the pain of even enemies,.”
A faint smile appeared on Ader's lips..
“If you gave up ‘the courage not to hate’… … This world wouldn't have come to this conclusion.”
As if before the game's staff roll.
As if reviewing the player's achievements one by one,.
My director recited the path I took..
“All the times you agonized and agonized, all those inefficiencies had meaning. Those painful and difficult days brought this world to its true ending... … no.”
Ader raised her hand and looked behind us.…….
pointed to the crossroads.
“‘It led to ‘today’.”
I turned back and looked around at the city that lay before us..
My city, where the final battle took place yesterday, is bathed in early morning sunlight. I am now immersed in peaceful silence..
A time when all my people, who cried and laughed all night long, are still immersed in a sweet morning sleep..
The ‘tomorrow’ I so desperately wanted to reach… … Finally, ‘today’ has come.
“Congratulations, player.”
Ader slowly politely bowed deeply to me..
“I salute you for your great achievements..”
“…….”
“Now… … It's time to grant the wish you promised..”
And Ader collected gray particles from her body and transformed them into dazzling light..
The ability to connect to the other world as a system administrator, separate from magical power. A part of it still remained with him..
“You've waited a long time. To that child… … You need to spread the word.?”
“……Ader.”
“Do not worry. We have the power to grant your wish, and we have left a line to convey your wish. I saved just that much life for this moment..”
my wish.
It's on Earth... … It is also the wish of a classic enthusiast..
Giving words of support to a child sleeping in a coma in the hospital.
It's something I've waited a really long time for. but…….
I asked cautiously.
“If I get that wish, you…….”
“Finally I become free.”
Ader grinned. I immediately knew what he meant..
also.
After this wish is fulfilled, Ader dies..
“Don't look at me like that. Anyway, if it continues like this, it won't last a few days and then it will disappear..”
“…….”
“If I'm going to waste away like this, I'll burn the rest of my life... … You might as well at least pass your words on to that child..”
Ader chuckled..
“I'm so glad that the lord's wish was small. If it was any bigger than this, he wouldn't have been able to hear it..”
“Ader.”
“I got all my wishes come true.”
Ader's gray eyes were firm with a clear determination..
“My lord... … You made all my wishes come true.”
“…….”
“So now it's my turn.”
I clenched my fists..
“Now, my lord..”
Ader looked at me and asked kindly..
“What do you want to say to that child??”
I took a deep breath..
I am.
I am…….
《Wait, wait, wait, wait!》
It was then.
《Save that life! Put it in, put it in! Because I have a better way!》
Suddenly, a lively voice was heard from next to me..
As I watched in horror, the air above the eastern wall where we stood stirred, and soon a small door opened.…….
《Yat-ho!》
Ping Taeyang jumped out.!
I shouted angrily at this pink-haired, tanned girl who suddenly came between us..
“Salome?!”
《Ta-da! That's right! The most bewitching woman in the universe, Salome! reappearance~!》
“No, he was really alive.!”
When I spoke in genuine surprise, Salome's eyes narrowed as she waved the V with both hands..
《What is that tone of voice? Like he wanted me to die…….》
“no. Of course, I wanted to live. Still, it's amazing…….”
How did we get out of that mess??
《Umhuhuhu. Didn't you tell me back then? Now I can go anywhere as long as I have the ‘heart’? Even if it's a different world!》
Salome cocked her nose with a cheeky look on her face..
《Fundamentally, I am also a mental body, so the cost is low when passing between worlds? And because the coordinates of your clear heart are here. I was able to skip it like this.!》
Immediately afterwards, Salome gasped with a look on her face as if she were about to die..
《Hehe, hehe, but… … This world has very little real magic anymore. I'm suffocating…….》
“Are you okay?……?”
Now in our world all things magic, miracles and powers have almost disappeared..
It won't be easy for Salome, who is a combination of all those magical and miraculous powers, to endure..
《Um, so actually, I don’t think I can live in this world anymore..》
Salome hesitated and wiggled her fingers..
《I feel like I have to leave for another world... … . But before I go, I want to see your face, so I came here..》
“Salome…….”
I took a deep breath..
This succubus who fought to help me came to say goodbye to me before leaving for another world..
《under… … It's a shame, really. Such a waste… … . It would be a shame to leave it behind…….》
Salome looked me up and down, licking her lips with regret. What! What does that mean?!
Salome raised her eyebrows and smiled sheepishly, made a V with her thumb and index finger, and placed her hand under her chin..
《Anyway, so I decided to leave for a world I've always wanted to visit.!》
“……A world I wanted to visit?”
Oh, no way…….
《It's a very distant world, but there is a place where the coordinates of the heart have been secured..》
“What are the coordinates of that heart?…….”
《Hehe, that’s right… … ash! I have the coordinates that I obtained by spying on your past at that time.!》
I opened my mouth in shock..
Yes.
My personality is a copy of a classics fanatic.
In other words, this guy Salome… … I have read the memories of classic enthusiasts, and I also know the ‘heart’ of classic enthusiasts.!
This guy is going to Earth!
Salome showed off her outfit by spinning around in her seat..
《In fact, did you actually dress up like this in advance to go to that world? This is Salome's foresight!》
“Me, crazy…….”
Why has everything been so strange since we met again? I wonder if this was the plan from the beginning?……!
By the way, what part did I read in the memory of a classic fanatic that made me choose that look? A little bit in that world too... … I think you'll be afraid…….
《The new legend of Succubus Empress Salome begins! Hehehe, look forward to it.~?》
“What on earth are you planning to do?……?”
Instead of answering, Salome just smiled sinisterly..
I apologized in my heart to the people of Earth in advance. Sorry, people of Earth. It looks like we are being forced to export something scary.…….
《It was a long story, but anyway! I'm going to that world from now on.》
Salome stretched out her hand and drew a large circle in the air..
《For a moment, I will connect a passage through which the mental body can travel to and from that world... … As you know, I'm a pretty amazing girl, so I can take a person's 'heart' away for a little while..》
I understood what he meant and asked back..
“My consciousness… … I want to take you to that world for a while.?”
Salome nodded..
《The method is a little different from the gray person over there, but the results are similar. It may be a very short time, but you will be able to reach the heart of the child you desire..》
Salome smiled brightly..
《More than anything… … I also want to watch that wish come true.!》
I smiled and nodded..
This guy deserves it.
“Please, Salome..”
《Okay, I'll get ready.!》
Salome began to open the door in the air..
Ader, who was watching this way, spoke urgently..
“Just a moment, my lord.……!”
When I turned around, Ader shook her head..
“So... … It's not possible!”
“What's wrong??”
“I promised you that if I reached the true ending, I would grant your wish.……!”
Ader clutched her chest with trembling hands..
“My lord, you kept your promise to me. So, me too... … I owe you back.”
“…….”
“To you who fought for such a long time without giving up... … Compensation must be given! however…….”
“Hey Ader.”
I grinned..
“I've already been rewarded enough.”
“yes?”
“It's here.”
I gestured into the city. Ader's eyes widened..
There was a peaceful crossroads scene with the morning sun shining on it..
“Where is the reward for going beyond this??”
“…….”
“Our wish to save the world was achieved by fighting together. There's no need for you to compensate me with anything more.”
“but…….”
In the first place, I cannot achieve my wish through someone else's sacrifice..
Because I came here with my wish to save someone..
So, using the rest of your life to make my wish come true would be nonsense from the beginning. This guy.
“…….”
Is it because my life was extended a little unexpectedly?.
Ader stuttered in a confused voice..
“Then, I… … With this life left behind, what…….”
My hand gently tapped Ader's shoulder..
“The remaining life... … How about using it for your last wish??”
“yes? My last wish……?”
“okay.”
I grinned..
“lets think. When you reach the end of your life, what do you want to do?.”
“…….”
“Find your true final wish yourself.”
At the end of the long journey, I hoped my accomplice would also be happy.
I hoped he would use the last of his life for himself..
“……last wish…….”
I left the dazed Ader behind and stood in front of Salome..
《Well then, Ash! It's the moment I dreamed of!》
Standing in front of the wide open magic door, Salome also smiled brightly..
《Carry your flag, walk to the end, and at the end... … directly. The time has come to convey your feelings!》
I felt somewhat nervous and my heart started pounding..
I took a deep breath and calmed my mind..
Then Salome reached out her hand to me..
《ruler! Let's go make your wish come true!》
“……huh!”
I held Salome's hand.
Salome smiled like a bad boy and pulled me in, and my eyes lit up with a pure white flash..
and…….
