The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V2 Chapter 27 Cain and Ei
“Then, Kain, I'll go first here.”
“Crut, Senior. Thank you very much.”
Cain and the girl separated in front of the main gate of the great temple.
Looking like the daughter of an influential person in the Grand Altlis Temple, “Senior”, at a glance, looked like a person of perfect character.
Even in front of Cain, he behaved like a compassionate and virtuous person, and it seemed like he gained his trust.
But Ei knows.
He knows that the mask attitude is in Humans, and “Senior” is also a member who supports Demi-Human rejection arguments or whatever. However, it had nothing to do with Ei.
Right now, he needed to chase after Cain.
Spreading its wings and flying, Ei's figure only looked like a crow from the point of view of mankind.
Recently, the royal capital had a lot of crows, so this was an incredible opportunity that Ei would not stand out wherever he went.
“……”
Just who this man named Cain was.
Ei does not know the reason why Alva will try to make contact with Kain but ... most likely, it is something worthy to report it to Sechste, is what Ei thinks.
It was there that Ei suddenly felt a sense of unease.
The road that Cain walked, strange.
Normally, it was time for him to return to his room in a building called a dormitory. But today, he passed through many terrifying passageways. It was as if he was looking for something.
Just as he had thought, when Cain stopped completely in a deserted place, he began to look here and there.
While experiencing interest, Ei stops at a nearby rooftop.
Cain put a hand on the hilt of his sword, and carefully inspected his surroundings.
“...... I don't know who you are, but I know you just watched me.”
Hearing those words, Ei was shocked.
‘Could he have noticed my gaze?’
He should not take actions that are easy enough to feel.
“...” Then it meant that this man named Cain was strangely sharp and quite cautious.
When Ei thought that it might be good to temporarily stop his observation of it, a space aberration appeared in the sky above Cain.
“A, what the fuck is this !?”
Cain saw that and was surprised. However, Ei immediately noticed it.
That it was, was Alva. As expected, they attempted to contact Cain.
“What, Alva !? An Alva is in the royal capital!?”
It was a sinister form, much larger than an ordinary Alva.
There was no mistake that it was identical to the special type that Ei had destroyed these past few days.
At best, it might just be for the bait again, but ...... However, this time, it appeared in a place that was quite easy to notice, was what Ei was thinking.
It was as if it came out in response to Cain's words.
“I understand ..... So the identity of the recent gaze is You!”
Alva in the sky looked at Cain who had drawn his sword. Alva did not answer.
Ei understood very well that Alva could not speak the words.
But──
“K ..... kk ..... k, a, m, u.”
Hearing Alva's voice, Ei shuddered.
‘You.’
That's how the voice sounded.
Not wrong anymore.
The Alva was trying to convey something with words.
“You kill. Periri ..... tah ..... “.
“Merei ...... Could it say "Command"!?”
Not okay.
Ei intuitively understands.
That he couldn't let Alva talk any more than this. He could not let this information leak.
An owner ..... who in the world gives orders?
“ ..... Raraja Ib .....”
“Enough to get there.”
Turning into the shape of a Devil in an instant, Ei held his pocket dagger and fired seven slashes.
After turning into pieces, Alva's body turned into a fog of darkness and vanished, and Ei, who was wearing black clothes, landed in front of Cain.
By the order of the Demon King, I will kill you.
If one were to relate his words, it was most likely what Alva was trying to say.
However, Demon King Varvatos would never give such an order.
With orders who would cause Alva to constantly target Kain.
“E ...... erm ...... you, who .......??”
He was called by Cain who sounded confused, but Ei did not answer him and put a dagger in his pocket.
Seeing that, Kain also rushed to sheathe his own sword.
“……”
He reflexively appeared in front of Cain, but Ei had absolutely no further plans.
What should he do now ...... Fortunately, in the form of a Devil, his physical appearance was not much different from a Human.
If he handles things appropriately, then that is he can get away with.
As he thought that, he was called by Cain.
“Ah, is it possible ..... what is your name, Periri ..... what is it?”
When she was about to say "What are you saying" to him, Ei noticed Cain's misunderstanding.
Indeed, Alva certainly does not say “order” but “periri”.
Alva came to kill the man named Periri.
If Cain misunderstood such things, there was no need for Ei to handle the situation excessively.
“Who knows. I have no intention of giving my name to you.”
“I, I understand. That's understandable too. Ah, I'm Kain. Fabric Stagius .... “.
"Not interested."
After Ei answered like that, he nimbly climbed onto the roof.
For some reason, the incomprehensible words "so so Ninja is also around this area" which Kain said strangely remained caught in Ei's ears.
