The next day, the village square. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Everyone in the village, I'm here today to introduce a new member of our village, Leo, come out. ”

In the middle of the square, the old man was introducing Leo to the people of the village.

"Hi everyone, I'm Leo. ”

Leo was a little nervous and stood in front of the old man so that people could see him.

"Oh, you're the kid who was badly injured yesterday, are you okay?

Leo sees a chubby uncle, and he is the first to show Leo kindness.

"Well, thank you, uncle, I'm fine now. ”

"That's good, Uncle I'll cook you a big meal another day, so that you can make up for it. ”

The uncle talked to Leo very enthusiastically, and after his first beginning, the rest of the people began to greet Leo one after another.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. ”

In the end, Leo could only thank the friendly people in front of him.

"Okay, okay, how long do you have to let the children thank you, go away. ”

"What, village chief, why are you nervous, isn't he also our kindred?"

"Yes, village chief, what are you nervous about?"

"Oh, it's not what you think, this, this kid is not our kind. ”

"What ......!"

"What are you talking about, village chief, he is not our kindred!"

In the old man's impatience, it directly made the villagers boil.

"Alas...... Originally, I wanted to talk about it after you have been in contact for a while, but it seems that there is no way, so I will explain it to you now. ”

Late last night, on the outskirts of the village.

"Son, what's the matter with me?"

The village chief walked up to Leo, who looked up at the starry sky.

"Actually, village chief, I'm not a demon. ”

"No, child, you are a demon, you don't want to run away, you have ...... in your hands. ”

Leo interrupted the village chief, and as he walked down the village road, his eyes gradually darkening.

"I know what you're trying to say, but I'm not a demon. Because...... I am a transformed human being. These powers in the body are only forcibly given by others. As for the demon pattern, I don't know. ”

"You say, you're a human who has been transformed into a demon?"

"Well, that's it. ”

"Impossible! It is impossible for humans to contain the blood of the demons, let alone transform them into demons through the blood of the demons. ”

"It's not impossible, I'm an example. ”

"No, no, it can't be, I've lived for so many years and I've never heard of anything like this. ”

"Maybe, it's just because I'm special. ”

"You, what's so special?"

"Of course, because ...... I'm a waste with zero elemental affinity in the whole line, and I can't even be a warrior. So, maybe God has given me a body that can accept any strength, so that I can become what I am now. ”

"What? You're a piece of waste, but you're not ......?"

"I said, I've been transformed. I was transformed by a human like me, and I became such a monster who was neither a human nor a demon...... ”

"Kid, you. Well...... , Take a closer look, you are indeed not a demon, although I feel the breath of our demon race in you, but this breath is also mixed with some other breath, it seems that it is the breath of some demonic beasts. As for the magic pattern on your hand, I don't know what's going on with this. ”

"Don't you know?"

"Well, what do you want to do now, kid, do you want to stay here?"

"Maybe, after all, I don't have anywhere to go. ”

"Then you can stay here, and I will tell everyone about your situation, don't worry. ”

"Hmm. ”

In the village square, the village chief is telling the villagers in front of him what happened last night.

"Original...... Is that so?"

"I didn't expect that human beings could do such a thing to their own kind. ”

"Okay, quiet, quiet! I'll arrange for him to work in our village. You can help him as much as you can. ”

"Okay, village chief, you don't know us yet, we won't do what we need to do. ”

"That's good, ....... ”

"By the way, child, I've always seen that you don't have any fear of us, ordinary humans hate us when they hear about the demons, why are you so ...... Calm down?"

A demon who seemed to be a scholar stood up and asked the question that the demons around him wanted to know, and it was also a question that Leo had been avoiding and didn't want to think about.

"Fear?"

"Oh, by the way, you're demons, I should be afraid. ”

"But I don't seem to feel that way, I don't feel scared of you. ”

"Strange, it feels...... I lost that feeling of fear, I should have been afraid of you, but I didn't feel that way in my heart. It's strange, why do I think you're better than any human I've ever seen?"

"You are demons, I should be afraid, I should hate you. But I don't feel that way. ”

"Rather, there's a ...... Strange closeness. ”

Leo raised his head, staring blankly at the demons in front of him, and then looked at his hands, his eyes beginning to lose color.

"Obviously, the demons I know are monsters, but I think I'm a real monster. ”

"Is this closeness? What is this? Am I a monster's closeness to a monster?"

"Ahh

"Haven't I gained strength? Am I not still alive? Why...... I'm going to feel as if I've lost something heavier?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I'm ...... now Is it still me?"

"By the way, I'm ...... What is it?"

Leo stared blankly at the demon, and suddenly raised his head, staring blankly at the sky.

"That's enough! Don't ask! Let him rest. Son, go back to your room. I have something to do here, so go back. “

“……。 ”

Leo quietly walked back to the room, and the demons around him consciously gave way to a way.

"Village chief, his problem is very serious. ”

"Well, I know, it's not a physical disease, it's a disease in his heart, and it's not so simple to cure. He already regarded himself as a monster, neither a human nor a demon, just a monster. ”

"No, I mean he might have the idea of reporting this place of our life to the Holy See. ”

"No, he can't. From his eyes, I saw that that look seemed to be the one that only people who were desperate would have, and I guess he had experienced a lot of painful past events in the past. Otherwise, it is impossible for a child to have the kind of eyes that seem to be indifferent when the world is completely destroyed. ”

"So, are we really going to keep him? He may have no emotion, only reason. ”

"Of course you have to stay! He's the first human who can look at us demons calmly. Perhaps, he will become a factor that can affect this world, so that we demons can coexist peacefully with humans. He's hopeful, ....... ”

After sighing, the village chief showed a look of hope. The demons around him just looked at the starry sky quietly, and there seemed to be a scene of peaceful coexistence between humans and demons in his eyes.

"What if...... If only it could be realized....... ”

"Is it possible for us demons and humans to coexist...... if so, can it really be achieved...... That's it. ”
