Chapter 440
After Harriet left, Bertus was sitting in his office contemplating.
It seemed that the Demon King would rather die.
If it stays like this, there could be bigger problems.
why?
Wouldn’t it be better to survive using Akasha?
Why the devil?
Are you pretending to care about humanity?
They destroyed their world, killed their father, and if Valie really died for that purpose, then Valie must hate humanity.
The Demon King has no reason to think about the safety of mankind.
There is no such thing as forgiveness and reconciliation in the world.
Therefore, Valier’s words about wanting peace are inevitably false.
In fact, there is a good chance that everything about Akasha is a lie.
Should I kill the Demon King or not?
Once the demon king’s subordinates have Akasha, and if they try to use it to recapture the demon king, some unpredictable disaster is bound to happen.
To bring back the demon king, the demon king’s servants use Akasha.
So if you kill the demon lord, will the demon lord’s servants who have lost hope stop using Akasha?
It can’t be.
If things go that way, Akasha will be used to avenge the dead demon king.
In either case, Akasha is used.
The only way Akasha isn’t used is to release the demon lord.
But what if the freed Demon King uses Akasha to destroy the world?
That is the worst ending for mankind.
The story about Akasha is true.
It’s true that I lost my memory and didn’t know anything until now.
Knowing the future is also true.
It is also true that such a huge catastrophe as the gate crisis will occur.
Is it true that the Demon King tried to prevent that situation for the sake of mankind?
It is too much to believe such a lie.
The Demon King has accumulated too many lies. That’s why he couldn’t believe everything the demon king said in this situation.
Should the demon lord be killed, saved, or released?
At the crossroads of ruin where nothing could be the right answer, Bertus felt lost.
* * *
Olivia Ranze returned to the ecliptic.
The demonic cult investigation, which had been quite long, had just finished.
The gelcorgis desert in the southern part of the continent, desertification has progressed too much and many cities that people have left were strongholds of the demonists.
With the desert uninhabited land spread over a vast area as their base, it was only natural that the main headquarters of the Demonic Cult be located in a place where ordinary people cannot go.
Olivia’s mighty demon’s divine power was in itself an identification card and admission ticket.
Olivia’s original purpose was to kill him, prepared to destroy the devil if the Demon Lord followed by the demon cultists appeared.
However, the demonists did not know anything about the demon king. Since the demon king represents the will of the demon gods, they only talk nonsense, but in reality, there was nothing in contact with the demon king.
Knowing that they were just people who were following the demon lord at will, the only thing they could know was that the last raid by the demonists on Razierne was not the work of the demon lord.
It was impossible to kill the demon king directly, so Olivia was about to choose the second best.
The complete elimination of the demonists who might end up on the side of the demon king at any moment.
It was something she couldn’t do alone, so Olivia returned to the ecliptic.
He was planning to lead the main body of the Templars and wipe out the Gelcorgis Desert.
If the demon king had full contact with the demonists, the situation would become even more troublesome, so now was the right time.
Returning to the ecliptic with such a mind, Olivia faced a strange thing.
“Olivia Ranze, follow me for a moment.”
Before reaching the headquarters of the Knights Templar, Imperial knights blocked Olivia’s path.
* * *
Olivia entered the Temple, guided by the knights, not the headquarters of the Knights Templar.
There was no change in the fact that I had come to the place I was going to come anyway, because I was planning to see Reinhardt’s face at least for a moment at the temple, but it was no different than being dragged, so I couldn’t help but feel a little strange.
And Olivia felt a little strange.
Of course, the situation is the situation, but the atmosphere inside the temple seemed too rigid.
Most of the people passing by were not students, and there were more armed troops than usual.
The knights and wizards leading Olivia were also barely visible on a normal level.
Inside the temple, a counseling room in the main building.
However, someone entered soon after, unable to hide the thought that he had been dragged into an interrogation room.
A knight belonging to Shanafell whom I had seen before during the raid on Lizaira. Scotra Kelton sat in front of Olivia.
“I told them not to use coercive means, but I’m not sure how it turned out.”
Olivia was still facing the middle-aged knight with a bleak impression.
“It wasn’t coercive… … . What is it? Did I do something wrong?”
The strange atmosphere had made Olivia brusque.
Since he accurately identified the location of the demonists, it was not a mistake, but a great benefit to the empire. Of course, I haven’t seen it yet.
At Olivia’s words, Scotra Kelton shook her head.
“No, not at all. We believe in Miss Olivia. However, due to an important fact recently revealed, Miss Olivia needs a lot of attention and attention.”
“Is it important?”
“… … .”

Scotra Kelton looks at Olivia in silence.
As if thinking deeply about something.
“Miss Olivia, would you like to summon Tiamata?”
“… … ?”
As if there was nothing she couldn’t do, Olivia summoned Tiamata and set her down on the table.
“It is true that you share Tiamata with Reinhardt-kun, right?”
Scotra Kelton witnessed Olivia holding and wielding Tiamata, which should have belonged to Reinhardt, during the Lizaira Incident.
“Yes, you saw it.”
Olivia narrowed her brows as if asking why she knew something anew. Scott La Kelton nodded her head with a firm expression at Olivia’s reaction, which was gradually becoming annoyed at her unknown situation.
“It turns out that Reinhardt-kun is the Demon King.”
“… … yes?”
Olivia couldn’t help but be taken aback by hearing the sudden nonsense.
What did I just hear?
Even thinking about each word, I couldn’t figure out the meaning of what I just heard.
But Scotra Kelton didn’t elaborate.
“Therefore, we have no choice but to judge Miss Olivia as a person of interest, as if she has a soul bond with the demon king.”
“No, you’re asking what are you talking about!”
“Miss Olivia, I believe you are innocent. but… … . We recommend that you stay at this headquarters until the situation calms down.”
“what… … ?”
“Please, Miss Olivia… … . We don’t want to do this either.”
Scotra Kelton left the counseling room.
Olivia was bewildered, not knowing what the situation was.
* * *
Olivia soon left the counseling room and was guided by the knights to a staff room in the main building.
The horse was guided, but it was tantamount to confinement. Because not only Olivia but also Chanapell’s knights started to reside in the sleeping quarters.
It was clear that it was being monitored in real time.
“What is it? I don’t need to know what the situation is. If Reinhardt just throws out that he’s the demon king, what are you going to do with me?”
It wasn’t Scotra Kelton who was attached as a guard, but a member of the Empire’s strongest knight order, Chanapell.
So, it was clear that they would be able to subdue Olivia in case of emergency, and this one person would not be all.
The knight of Chanafell stares at Olivia with a hard expression.
“It is literally, Olivia. Reinhardt, the holder of Alsbringer and Tiamata, was a demon king who infiltrated the temple, and it was recently revealed that he is currently imprisoned inside the temple, and discussions are currently underway to determine his treatment.”
It was a longer explanation than Scotra Kelton’s, but Olivia still couldn’t understand it.
“And Olivia was rescued by the demon king’s forces at the time of the death of Leverrier Ranche last time, but you have been hiding that fact until now, and it is unknown whether it is your will, but considering that Tiamata is in a state of being shared with the demon king. , The Empire has decided that it is necessary to keep an eye on Miss Olivia.”
“… … .”
“Miss Olivia, if you behave calmly for a few days, nothing will happen.”
In the end, there is a possibility that Olivia is not the devil’s helper, but because of that possibility, the empire tries to keep Olivia under surveillance.
Until the demon king’s disposition is decided.
Olivia swallowed.
Something.
It was clear that something very strange was going on, most of which Olivia couldn’t even comprehend.
But there is only one sentence that lingers in my head.
Reinhardt was the Demon King.
That’s why you can’t help but be suspicious of yourself who shares Tiamata with the demon king.
In addition, he was present at the scene of the murder of Lebarrier Ranche, but he hid the fact until now.
Because of that, there is no choice but to buy a suspicion that he is a gang with the devil.
How did Olivia manage to understand that far?
“Reinhardt… … . Devil… … ?”
that one truth.
If you accept that, all the scattered puzzles that have complicated Olivia so far will come together.
That day, Olivia couldn’t understand the demon king’s actions and it was painful.
why did you save me
Did you try to kill Lebarrier Ranche and save yourself as an outsider? why?
Raiding a nameless order would only be good for the empire, so why did he do good for the empire?
Unable to understand the demon king’s true intentions, Olivia had been confused until now.
However, Reinhardt was the Demon King.
Then everything makes sense.
to protect yourself
There was no reason other than that.
Through any circumstances, Reinhardt knew that Olivia was in danger. That’s why he led his forces and raided Le Barrier Ranche.
Neither the nameless order nor the Leberier Ranche itself had any meaning.
It was such a story that Olivia and Adriana were dangerous and only saved them.
The final puzzle piece has been put together.
Demon King and Reinhardt.
If the two were the same, I could understand and accept all situations.
If the Demon Lord’s attack on Razierne was the work of the Demon Lord, then the Demon Lord must be an evil being, I thought.
However, Olivia now knows that the demonists are actually people who have nothing to do with the demon lord.
that you are not chosen
Reinhardt doesn’t look at me.
always looking the other way.
I say my heart towards you like this, but you always turn away from me.
that’s sad
I thought so.
It wasn’t.
Reinhardt had already saved himself by taking a very big risk.
It was like that the first time, and it was like that this time too.
Reinhardt saved himself twice.
“… … .”
What did you mean by saying that I would do anything for you, even though you didn’t look at me?
What on earth was it to say that I was on your side even if you didn’t choose me?
Where she doesn’t know, Reinhardt has already saved her. Risking her life, she moved her meager forces to deal with the most elite Holy Knights.
He even took the risk of being discovered.
While she swore to save Reinhardt with words alone, Reinhardt actually saved Olivia. And yet, he hadn’t shown the slightest hint of it until now.
I was saddened by such a subject.
I was saddened by such a subject.
On that subject, I grumbled that they didn’t look after me.
Olivia was wide-mouthed in a daze.
How sad would you have been?
how funny it was
How sad he must have been every time he grumbled.
I couldn’t reveal the truth, so I would have burned my insides.
When she found out what Reinhardt had sacrificed for herself, Olivia didn’t mind talking about Reinhardt being the Demon King.
Rather, as the incomprehensible things began to make sense, Olivia’s heart hardened even more.
words at that time.
One part of it is now untenable.
Because Reinhardt was the Demon King.
The Demon King couldn’t hurt Reinhardt.
No matter what.
Even if the world turns upside down
Even if the world hurts you
No matter what.
I decided to protect Reinhardt.
The world wants to kill Reinhardt and the Demon King.
“… … .”
So, Olivia must protect the demon lord. Olivia gazed at the silent knight of Chanapell.
She was staring at Olivia.
The Empire is suspicious of Olivia. It might be on the devil’s side.
Not until now.
Olivia is not on the side of humans or demons, only on Reinhardt’s side.
Reinhardt is trapped somewhere in the temple.
The detailed reason is unknown, but the Empire will not kill the Demon King right away.
A few days of grace.
But now, Olivia is in a situation where she can’t get rid of the Chanafel knight in front of her and even the surveillance attached to her.
Therefore, it is impossible to break through the place where Reinhardt, who must have been more well-prepared, was imprisoned.
It will be dog death.
I could risk my life for Reinhardt, but I didn’t want to choose an impossible dog death.
You have to risk your life in the least possible way.
You cannot save Reinhardt alone.
If so, you are not alone.
Reinhardt.
Make it so you’re not alone.
“Please call the commander of the Knights Templar.”
“… … yes?”
At Olivia’s words, Knight Chanapell of the Watch Station tilted his head.
“As the champion of Tuan and the one responsible for the future of the Main Church of the Five Greats, I have to report this to the Main Church and discuss our response and position on this situation. Right Now.”
“Miss Olivia, what are you talking about… … .”
“You are not detaining the Temple students right now. You should keep in mind that they are exerting political pressure on the champion of Tuan, who represents the will of the five main cults.”
“What is it, Ms. Olivia? This… … . Isn’t that a problem?”
“The Demon King is the champion chosen by Ars and Tuan. Doctrinal interpretation as well as the Inquisition will have to be conducted as to whether there was any fraudulent manipulation in it. All of the five main denominations should gather and talk about whether the gods chose the demon king for a reason, or whether there was an evil trick involved in it.”
Olivia wants to turn the matter into a political one.
It is not a problem between humans and demons.
It is a matter between gods and humans.
“You can silence me, but you should keep in mind that keeping me captive will cause a great discord between the Empire and the main church later.”
If we don’t let you report this to the Church, you may have to go to war with us later.
“So call the commander of the Templars. Before I try to get out of here on my own feet.”
that i will make it
Olivia was saying that with just her eyes.
“And, that’s why I can’t deal with all of you. If you think you won’t be able to escape… … .”
Olivia gazes at the window, making fishy arsenic.
“That is a big mistake.”
Olivia looked at Knight Chanafell, who was getting discouraged, with a grim smile on her face.
In a state of confinement, Olivia was threatening the opponent in reverse.
