Chapter 20: Liliay's Determination

"So, we and the master are not lovers, but only the relationship between the master and the slave and the lover, please don't get me wrong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Lover!?"

"Sure enough, I should lock you up, Alyssa." Black takes Alyssa back into the Poké Ball, then makes it smaller and seals it in a bottle.

“！！！”

The Poké Ball danced in the bottle as if protesting, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

"I'm sorry, Alyssa likes to talk nonsense, I believe time will solve the problem, such as locking her up like this for a year-"

Before he could finish speaking, the Poké Ball spun at high speed in the bottle like a drum, and the protest intensified.

"That, Black, although she does have something wrong, but don't bully her too much."

The Poké Ball changed its position and continued to jump.

"That's right, my master and I are lovers!"

Alyssa in the Poké Ball seems to be emphasizing this.

"Sure enough, if you don't seal it for 1 year, you can't do it."

Black hung the bottle around his waist.

"However, now that the elf's memory has been restored, Kuro can understand who he was before, right?"

"Huh!?"

Hei was suddenly stunned.

"Don't you know?"

"Lilia, that—" Black said again. "If I say I don't want to get my memories back, will you think I'm a coward?"

“！？”

Lilia's eyes widened and she didn't speak, perhaps because the sentence was so unexpected, or perhaps because she sensed something else in the sentence, she didn't know how to answer.

"What the hell is going on?" After spending two months with Black, Lilia knows that Black is an unpredictable person, but she is not an emotionless person. "They told you, instead of asking me that, you should tell me about the black past."

Being looked at by Liliai's eager eyes, Hei was also a little embarrassed.

But can that really be said?

I'm afraid that I don't know what it's like to be a human being, and I don't know why I'm a demon king who challenges the spirit of creation so unhesitatingly.

It's all about themselves, but they can't understand each other.

Moreover, if he knew that even the power he was proud of could be easily taken away in front of Arceus, would he still be as determined to challenge as before?

I don't know, but what is clear is that even if I don't become a demon king, I won't lose anything if I continue to live as a human being.

And, there's Lilia--

However, Black immediately dismissed the idea, it was just a search for comfort.

After all, these elves under his own hands were not subdued by the human beings themselves.

A strange thing like Alyssa should be said to be an elf that humans cannot subdue.

I have to admit that Hei can now be the world's top trainer, not because of how good he is as a human being, but because as a demon king, he left these six unique elves.

Therefore, if he is satisfied with comfort like this, he will never be able to get out of the shadow of the demon king.

There are not many Z crystals left in the islands tour, and I'm afraid that after Boni Island, Black will have to decide what he will do next.

Thinking of this-

"Lilia."

"What's wrong, Black?"

"I seem to have something to think through, I'm sorry, but you should accompany the Doctor when I challenge the Islands."

"So why, what's going on?"

Liliai, who had always looked timid and very quiet, did not intend to let Hei pass like this at this time, she stared at Hei fiercely, as if she must know the answer.

"Oh, the little two have a quarrel."

Just then, Dr. Kukuy, who was inquiring about the local area on behalf of Black, interrupted Liliai's questioning.

"Bo-shi!" Lilia stared slightly angrily at the doctor who interrupted her at the critical moment.

"Lilia, what's wrong with you today, you are so fierce?"

Reminded by the Doctor, Lilia realized that she had just done something terrible.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now!"

She immediately blushed and stepped back twice.

"Black, just now I contacted the captain of this Boni Island for you, and then, the result is that there is no captain."

"No captain?"

"That's right, at least there isn't a captain on this island who will go to your challenge like the previous three islands. As you can see, even the port is just a village, and in a sense it belongs to the least developed area of Alola, so there is no captain. ”

"But without a captain, how can you make a tour of the islands?"

"Who knows, look for yourself on this island, get Z crystal, and take the trip to the entire island as part of the test, in short, get ready and go, let me remind you first, because this island is undeveloped and the terrain is strange, resulting in the elves here are the most powerful in Alola, of course, where there are powerful elves, there are powerful trainers, isn't it? Anyway, come on. ”

With that, the doctor walked away.

"You have to do it too, Lilia, in every sense."

"Huh? Do I want it too? ”

"Of course, it's a way to follow me, choose me, or black?"

"Doctor, don't ask that strange question." Black said. "Have you forgotten that the protagonist is me.,Which line I'm going to enter, if I become the heroine, the player will send the blade.。

"Hey, is that okay with that?"

"There's really a problem.,After all, isn't it boring to really only enter one line like the protagonist of the game.,I want to enter every line.,Sure enough, it's still the happiest player.,Kahahaha.。

"It's as black as a man, your attainments as a man will be better than mine in the future, Kahahaha."

As always, Black and the Doctor exchanged words.

But-

"Do you choose your own path......" Lilia whispered as if talking to herself, looking at the two of them.

As a result, the tour of the islands without a captain began.

……

Kuro seems to have left on his own because he was preparing to travel.

Leaving the Doctor and Lilia standing still.

"So, what are you going to do, Lilia?"

"Huh? Ask me? ”

"Of course, if you want to be with Hei, you're still hanging out with me all the time, to be honest, you're not bad with me, and you're quite capable as an assistant."

"However, the person who chooses is to hack himself, and I have no right to interfere."

"Yes, I was so fierce at Hei just now."

"This—"

Lilia couldn't answer, and she didn't understand why she was the way she was.

No, it's not so much that she doesn't know, she just hasn't had the courage to admit it yet.

When I saw a woman who didn't know about being with black, I suddenly got angry, and today I also investigated the black thing so deeply.

Probably after the incident with Lusa Mina, her mother.

"You've got a crush on him." The Doctor shattered Lilia's thoughts. "Love is very powerful, and its power can destroy human habits. Therefore, it is also possible that a quiet girl like Liliai has changed her personality that was easy to suppress her emotions because of this emotion. ”

Like his predecessors, the Doctor told Lilia.

"Indeed, it is Black who has lost his memory, and as a person concerned, Black has the right to decide his own future. But it is precisely because this world exists, because this society exists, and because of your existence that his decision is meaningful, after all, consciousness is inseparable from matter, inseparable from social relations, philosophy says so, haha. ”

"However, if I continue like this, I may make Black make the wrong choice, and it may make him more annoyed-"

"Then let him bother." The doctor said without thinking. "He was the one who said he wanted to marry you at the beginning, as the party being chased, he still cares about the feelings of the chasing party, at least my wife will never be like this, Kahahaha." The doctor laughed heartily, and then, he got serious again.

"If you don't do anything, you'll regret it. If Black isn't going to tell you the truth, you tell him what you think, and let him make a choice based on your thoughts, no matter what the outcome, at least you won't regret it. Lilia, you have power, no, you should stand by Black's side. ”

……

"Well, let's go east first, and then go to the Boni Grand Canyon in front of the ruins, and by the way, we have to go to Coconut Egg Tree Island."

As someone who doesn't know anything about the geography of Bonny Island, it's important to look for a quick way to get around.

On this day, Black searched for various materials and made a whole set of plans.

Originally, even if it was such a complicated matter, it would not take long to put it in his hands.

But for some reason, he just couldn't calm down, and that choice had been bothering him.

The village as a port is not urbanized, and the hotels are also wooden, relatively simple, and the lighting is not good at night, which causes the black eyelids to be a little heavy after work.

"Ahh

He stretched and opened the door.

The hallway didn't seem to be well lit, but Kuro could see clearly that Lilia was standing in front of her.

"In such a dark place, don't you wait here all the time?"

"Don't worry about this kind of thing, it's just a few hours, it's not a big deal."

"A few hours—"

I couldn't see Liliai's expression clearly, but Hei vaguely felt that Liliai's personality was in a state of collapse as before Dr. Morning came.

"What did your elf tell you, can't you really tell me?"

Lilia pressed over step by step and pressed the black against the door.

It is not perfunctory, it is not allowed to change the subject, and that's probably it.

It's not as direct as Mei Yi, and it's not as aggressive as Toko, but Lilia is really scary when she gets serious.

Black felt like he couldn't move, not because his body was restricted from moving, but because he felt Lilia's emotions.

That's right, it was precisely because he knew that Lilia was never a person who could express her feelings bluntly, that Hei could perceive how determined she was to stand here, so there was no way to escape.

"I always feel that if I did, I wouldn't be able to keep the agreement I made with Lilia when I was on the island of Akara." Black said.

"Agreed-"

Of course, Lilia still remembers the promise that she will definitely come back after Hei has dealt with the things before the amnesia.

Unable to keep the promise, that is, black can't come back.

"Why didn't you tell me? If you tell me about it, you won't keep the promise. ”

"No," Kuro smiled helplessly. "Whether I tell you or not, I'm the one who makes the choice. No matter how powerful a person I was before I lost my memory, as long as I give up that memory, I won't leave you, and you can keep the agreement. However, I always feel that once I tell you about it, it won't work. ”

"In other words, once that memory is restored, is it possible that Kuro will disappear?"

Now that the words have been spoken, Black now has no choice to continue to conceal it.

"The reason why I'm having a confused memory here, and my former companions have also been lost, no, to be precise, their memories have been tampered with. These reasons are probably because three months before I came to Alola, I met Arceus and was stunned by it. ”

"One move in seconds? Did Black really fight Arceus? ”

"I don't know if I fought or not, but I'm sure I'm going to fight it and take it in my way. I think Lilia understands how ambitious it is. In the past, I was not an ordinary human, but a demon king who was driven from another world, and in order to reclaim his own territory, he was looking for strength in this world. Before I met Arceus, I had subdued many of the legendary elves, but since that day, only these six have remained. ”

Although she knew that Black's past was not ordinary, and that Black had a connection with Arceus, Lily Ivan never expected it to be so.

"It's unimaginable to be hostile to Arceus......"

"That's right, Arceus holds all the attributes of this world, is the creator of this world, can't defeat it, and has no reason to do so, I think so too, because now, like you, I think I'm just an ordinary human being. But what if you get your memories back? It's not unlikeliable to challenge Arceus again and then be defeated. ”

"I used to be amassing my strength, searching the world for legendary elves and seeking their power. That's probably because I know how powerful Arceus is, and, knowing how powerful it is, I want to defeat it. If I regain my memory, maybe, no, almost certainly, I will continue to look for a way to defeat Arceus. Because for me as a demon king, my hometown is not here, and if I don't pursue power, I won't have the point of hiding in this world. ”

"So, I'm done," Black asked. "Lilia, what do you think I should choose?"

Lilia was silent, and in the dark hallway, it was impossible to read Liliai's expression.

And Hei, who didn't want to talk to Lilia about it just now, looked at her face as if he was expecting her reply.

It's easy to leave things you can't decide to others and rely on others to make your own decisions.

Black is clear, the more he relies on Liliai like this, the more he can't compare to that demon king, obviously he knows-

And it was then that Lilia finally spoke.
