MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 32 Pass

I'll summarize what's happened in the past few days.

After that incident the Tournament was immediately declared over and as compensation and prizes the four of us were awarded the title of Imperial stars so now if we want to retire our lives will be guaranteed.

The seven demon princes immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss the matter.

It's none of my business so I don't care what they're planning so I let them handle it and I focus on my own life.

The day after the tournament we gathered at Lucy's residence at school.

I heard Joey's report but strangely it turns out that he did nothing about the live atomic bomb that he destroyed only the runes installed in the capital with the help of the Lucifer family.

So what destroyed the rest was the purple-haired man.

Speaking of the purple-haired demon I remembered someone and I glanced towards that person.

"What's? He's not my father and I don't know him."

That's what he said, the aura they were courting was very similar so I immediately thought that it was his father but if it wasn't then it must be his distant relative.

Because the atmosphere of the capital is tense so the road in the city is not pleasant.

So we were just doing our own thing and I'm focusing on training now considering how miserable I was back then.

I was determined to destroy the seven arc angel but our power difference was too far away.

I don't think graduation day is coming.

The headmaster made this speech and it was on the podium about how proud we are and we will have a bright life after all the others I don't care.

We all gathered in a fine restaurant.

"Return!!"

""Return!!""

We smashed our glasses hard until some drinks spilled on the table.

"It doesn't feel like we've been together for 3 years!"

Zep spoke first while gulping down his wine.

"True, it feels very short but it's very pleasant."

"Ryu and Zep don't need to be asked anymore but what about the two of you?"

Lucy asks Asta and Ana.

"I? ana and I are getting engaged so I don't want to go anywhere too dangerous no matter what in the future we're going to have kids."

"Fufu I also want to marry you after graduation but I don't want to have children."

Everyone froze even the glass Zep was holding fell to the floor.

"Umm Ana wait a minute, why do you want to marry her but don't want to have children?"

Lucy opened her mouth first.

"Simple, though, if I had a child at a young age my son would probably fall in love with my handsome husband and my husband would fall in love with my own beautiful son because he is the son of a very beautiful me this beauty and I who are getting old will end up abandoned, like that so I will give birth to her later after I am satisfied playing with my husband."

What kind of slanted thought was that!?

"I see, I'll get well soon."

Everyone is angry because they don't believe, which is true because the birth rate of the devil is quite low when compared to humans so being able to give birth to a child alone is already a boon to the devil but this person does not want to have it.

"Ryu you do want to become an adventurer but what are your plans after that?"

"I want to find all my comrades and according to information Joey and Aria there is at least one person still in the Empire."

"Who's knight!? No it's not that, so you're going back to the human Empire?"

"Rather than being called back I'd rather be called gone because I just want to find my partner and then come back here."

"That's good because this is your home now so come back whenever you want. And Zep what's your reason for being an adventurer?"

"Nothing, I'm here because my father asked for it he just said Go and fate will lead you something like that."

"You must have been expelled."

"It's so sorry."

"Patience."

"There's nothing like it!! My dad said that the time to hide was over so he asked me to go and be adventurous was my own choice because it sounded cool."

"But I'm going to the human Empire, how are you going to go there or are we going to split up then?"

"Don't worry about it, my family's been a fugitive for 10,000 years and never got caught because we're so good at illusion magic and disguises like this."

Zep took out a necklace and used it.

After that his form instantly turned into the demon king Lucifer.

Although his form changed we were still able to tell the difference because the aura they emitted was different but after Zep cast another spell even the aura they emitted was very identical.

"How is it possible..."

"That's not how much I can also disguise myself as a woman."

Now even his voice was very similar to Lucifer so it felt very awkward.

"See this."

"Henshin!"

Smoke covered us all and when it was gone now there were two Lucy on this table.

"You can tell the difference?"

"My nails even I imitate her body perfectly so I can be the real Lucy whenever I want, although it's quite difficult to mimic someone's personality if I don't know her, ahh!"

Zep shouted as if remembering something.

"My dear Ryu you want to see it?"

"What do you mean?"

"That's.I mean the body of our princess."

"W-what are you saying!?"

It's not that I don't want to but this fool spoke without seeing the situation.

"Hehe I take that as an answer."

Zep started to lift his skirt.

"Gulps!"

I gulped though unwilling but who would refuse if there was a chance.

"Waaah!"

Zep and we immediately lowered our heads, after which a sword slash passed right over our heads.

"Crushes!"

First the sound of glass broke and after that the whole restaurant was cut and collapsed into a rubble.

"Do that and I'll kill you now."

Lucy did not care and raised her sword while walking towards Zep who was still lowered with Lucy's face.

Although there was no magic power but the killing intent was so clear that it gave me goosebumps especially now that he used KI like Zep used.

"I'm sorry! i'm wrong!"

Lucy did not stop her killing intent and stopped in front of Zep who was still prostrating.

"An apology is rejected, you better not repeat it in your next life."

Lucy raised her sword up, it was filled with killing intent until I could imagine Zep's head flying even before it was swung.

"Tch don't think I'm quiet!"

The Zep uses the unification and pulls out his spear.

"Hooh, not only did you refuse to accept forgiveness but you even dared to strike back."

"This is where you're ruined so don't think you can beat me."

"Zep stop!"

I tried to hold him back but the two people had already swung their weapons and created an explosion.

The dust blocked my vision so I couldn't see it clearly but after the dust disappeared there was only one person standing there, it was Lucy.

And the other party was already across the street after destroying the stall belonging to someone else.

Zep got up even though there were no injuries but in his Armor there was a long line on the chest if it was deeper he would die from a fatal wound.

The Zep attacked with both of his spears while using illusionary magic that made it look like it was launching thousands of attacks at once.

Lucy also swung her sword a few times it was normal and could still be seen by the eyes.

After a while Zep jumped back with a surprised look.

His armor broke into pieces and then disappeared.

"Cubes of two options want to get a scratch or bruise as a gift?"

"Not both."

Zep advanced while readying his spear instead Lucy kept her sword then readied her fist.

Zep attacked with incredible speed but Lucy just moved a little sideways and swung her fists and after that Zep crashed once again and crashed into another stall.

"Small! uhuk uhuk."

Fluid came out of his mouth followed by a cough.

Lucy advanced while readying her sword.

"Hiik forgive me! i-i'm sorry! i'm sorry!"

Zep could only prostrate while apologizing.

"Apardon is accepted."

"I thought I was going to die."

After that we moved to another restaurant because the previous one was already destroyed and all the bills once again fell into the hands of the Lucifer family.

"Liar! you liar! you said your mana core had been destroyed but why are you so strong!?"

"Unfortunately my mana core is completely destroyed and this is very far from the full power of the past."

"Geeh!"

I myself was very surprised it turned out that in a short time Lucy had become this strong even though at that time she looked very fragile.

"But it's good news that Lucy is that strong so we can leave without any worries."

"But that's no reason to run away from your job for a long time so hurry back."

"I'll find him as soon as possible."
