I quench my thirst with lemon-infused sparkling water while tucking into a hamburger and fries.
Sam was hungry and thirsty after the battle, and appreciated Tomoya's hospitality.
Most of all, he is glad that the menu reminds him of the after-school time he spent with his friends in his previous life as a student.
I wonder how my friends are who I have lost touch with since I entered the workforce.
"Hmmm, eating hamburgers like this reminds me of the days when I used to go to the restaurant every day with the little money left by my parents who never cooked for me."
"..............."
I am glad I did not speak of my school days, I thought to myself.
"Well, I know I've told you a lot of personal stories, but I wanted to thank you."
"Thank you?"
Tomoya placed the hamburger on his plate and bowed to Sam with a slightly melancholy expression on his face.
"Thank you for letting Lepsey go. He was one of the few friends I could trust. He was one of the few friends I could trust, even though he was wary of me because of my constitution.
"Did you have a lucky break with a leprosy?"
"No. I had a lucky break with his wife and daughter."
"Well, that's alarming! I mean, I was scared of who he was because he was a demon king that Lepsey was wary of, but that's what you meant by wary!"
"And I have some complaints about that."
Tomoya, who had begun to eat his hamburger again, brushed off Sam's criticisms and spoke reminiscently about the past.
"I was the reason Lepsey and Irene got married. Irene...... Lepsey's wife is a girl who grew up in the town I was helping. She was looking for work and I helped her to clean and feed the lepers."
"I don't think the girl had any idea that she would be working in the home of the Demon Lord."
You know exactly what I'm talking about. He was very surprised, but he was a good, bright boy. In no time at all, he and Lepsey were in love and had a child together. We were ...... happy. Really, at that time.
The darkening of Tomoya's voice reminds us of the ending of Lepsey.
Lepsy's beloved wife and child were killed by humans, and he is bent on revenge.
He is defeated by the heroes of another world and sealed away for a long time.
"To be honest, I sometimes wonder if it was my fault that Lepsi became like that."
"--that is."
"Irene wouldn't have died if she and Lepsey hadn't gotten together. My bringing the two of them together has made them, no, the three of them including the child, unhappy. I can't help but feel responsible."
Tomoya, biting his tongue at the pain of those left behind, spoke of an impossible possibility.
"Like you, I think about ...... if a leprosy could be reincarnated in some other world and live a laughing life with Irene and her daughter Daisy."
"I understand. I wish that too."
Sam is the same way.
Not only the Lepcys and their families, but also Ur, who passed away young and is still alive and well in some other world - I can't help but think.
Let's move on, don't dwell on it, but those of us who are left behind think of the dead.
"I'm sorry. I was going to say thank you, but it turned into a damp talk.
Yes, sir.
"Let's change the subject. You've already met Zoe, right?
"Zoe? Yes, he's been very good to me.
"She is a child that Irene protected, a former human, though she is now a vampire. She has been through a lot and hates humans, but the loss of Irene, whom she adored ...... and Daisy, whom she adored, and the revenge-madness of the Lepsy, whom she admires, have only added to her misanthropy."
We knew Zoe hated people.
I thought it was natural for her to hate them since they killed her husband and his family, but it seems there are other reasons.
"I'm glad she's getting along with you," he said.
"Are you and Zoey close?"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha. I consider her like a sister, but she always treats me badly because I play the lucky game whenever we see each other.
According to him, he used to call me "Endo-sama" and respect me, but when I started having some lucky skating sessions with him, he started treating me less and less like "Tomoya.
However, Tomoya seems to have followed Lepsy's lead and seems to be taking an interest in Zoey.
"When you first met Zoey, she didn't behave well, did she?"
"Yes, well..."
"For better or worse, I think he is interested in you. Zoe is basically a dry person, so if she's not interested, she'll just ignore you."
I shudder to think of Zoe's hostility when we first met.
I remember breaking out in a cold sweat, thinking that she was faster and more formidable than Bowood, whom I had just fought.
"If you had seen Zoe like that, you would know that there are other Lepsy dependents out there who would not recognize you."
"...... Yes. Of course. I don't know how I feel about that."
Even Sam would not be convinced if he were told that a human boy had defeated his beloved master.
There is a fundamental difference between humans and vampires in terms of their own strength, and a leprosy is also a demon king.
It is normal to think that a human child who has not even reached adulthood is not an opponent that can be defeated.
"Some of the children are under my protection, others have received titles and are under the control of other demon kings. Of course, there are those under Vivian's care. Most of them will want to try to identify you."
"...... I'm in trouble."
"But if the first of them, Zoe, is close to you, it won't be much of a problem. At best, she'll challenge you to a duel."
"That sounds like a lot of work, though."
There is no one as strong as Zoe. I'm sure you can beat her. But I'm not sure if they'll survive.
"Let's worry about that."
We do not intend to fall behind, but we cannot afford to cut through the vampires, who are the dependents of the Lepsi and under the control of the Demon King.
But if we respond with magic and physical combat, our chances of victory will be reduced.
Sam's too great power is a death blow that will surely injure his enemies and easily take their lives.
Not wanting to get into any trouble with the demons, let alone with Vivian's Lepsi servants, Sam popped the remaining fries into his mouth.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
