Chapter Twenty-Three: The Enlightenment of Confusion

What the hell am I doing?

Mu Ze stood aside, looking at the original truth between the mirrors that day, and the same tragic scene as what he saw and heard that day reappeared in front of Mu Ze's eyes again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ellie, who was still shivering before, was lying on her back on the carpeted floor, her eyes with a little nostalgia had lost their luster, and she looked blankly at the ceiling decorated with crystal chandeliers.

Bright red blood had stained the carpet beneath him, his silky pajamas had been half stained red, and the fatal wound had come from the sword that had pierced her body in her chest and heart, and it was Rukia's weapon (sigh of interval).

Sitting sideways on the little girl's corpse was the apprentice demon king, the new space demon king Rukia, her long black hair that was over her waist was scattered on the ground, and the purple royal nobles' dress on her body also became more Yao Yan because of the splashing blood.

Everything is reproduced again in the reality of the sun, the only difference is that the experiencer becomes a spectator.

Looking at the face with astonishment and disgust that appeared at the door, Mu Ze suddenly realized how ugly he was at that time, how stiff and hypocritical the confident smile maintained by the so-called (trainee demon king contractor) passive skill was, that is, Rukia, who had lost everything, couldn't see and didn't want to see the falsehood, but chose to continue to believe in herself unconditionally.

Ellie's death has nothing to do with Rukia, but it is the murderer who caused Ellie's death because he is considered by Mu Ze to be ruthless and ruthless and regards the human race as a mustard, and it is the reckless self who used the baptism of light without examining Ellie's body to cause the deterioration of Ellie's body, while Mu Ze is blinded by the scenery in front of him.

Maybe Rukia didn't explain the reason for this incident, and she also hoped that Mu Ze would not feel guilty about this incident, so she pretended to be ruthless to create a false impression of "this cold-blooded and ruthless demon king who regarded the inferior race as nothing, and pinched a small bug to death because of a trivial matter" to protect himself.

"Hehe, that's ironic."

Looking at the conversation between Rukia and herself at that time, as well as Rukia's eyes that she didn't pay attention to at that time, the sadness and self-blame that the demon girl named Rukia secretly hid in her heart are constantly transmitted through her shining eyes, and if she can pay more attention to it at that time, you can definitely see the sadness and self-blame in Rukia's eyes.

There's also my own ridiculous self-righteous estrangement and the idea of shirking out of not being able to accept Ellie's death, thinking that it's just another game.

The next step is to make that stupid plan to solve the scourge.

Is it really like what I said at the time, for the reason that "Lord Demon King can have a righteous commanding heights in the Terran Continent and also gain a good reputation in two countries"?

In retrospect, it was all about making up for the guilt of the useless 21st-century morality in my heart about Ellie's death.

There is also a situation where a very crude plan has just been drawn up and immediately executed, and the reckless travel to the place where the natural disaster occurs without considering the consequences.

And what happened next made Mu Ze even more devastating, originally thought that Mu Ze, who had super-level magic in hand, could easily solve this natural disaster, but he didn't have time to use super-level magic in the case of the enemy's instant killing, and at this time, Rukia, who should have been protected by herself, helped herself block the fatal blow without hesitation, and at the same time put Rukia in a dangerous realm.

Is this what you should do as a trainee demon master contractor? Constantly let the immature demon king get hurt and fall into a dangerous situation.

Mu Ze is not as loyal to Rukia as the knight Chang Zero, and without Luzel's care for Rukia, the strength of the two is far from being comparable to Mu Ze's current LV1 guy, and even a demon soldier who is loyal to Rukia is stronger than Mu Ze, a contractor who only knows how to think of himself.

What exactly is the contractor's contract?

Obviously Zero and Rucia's brother Ruzel are more suitable for the status of a contractor, or is it just a joke of the world? A reason to give a crossing? Everything seems so pale in explanation.

Mu Ze suddenly felt scared, a sense of fear and guilt that had not appeared in his heart again, and he squatted on the ground like a coward, shivering and complaining about everything.

The truth between the mirrors made Mu Ze not only see the truth of this matter, but also made the confusion in Mu Ze's heart begin to emerge.

"Contractor of the Apprentice Demon King? What does it mean? Hehe, is it because I'm a time-traveler and I have the system of "Infinite World" that I became Rukia's contractor? It's useless......"

"Smack."

A powerful fist was imprinted on Mu Ze's face, and the force used in it directly knocked Mu Ze directly down on a grass full of Pandora of the Demon Realm.

The sudden blow made Mu Ze not react at all, and the powerful blow was directly imprinted on the left side of Mu Ze's face and left a red blood mark.

"Here?"

Mu Ze, who was lying on the ground head-on, was directly awakened by a sudden blow, and his vision was a little blurred because of the dream change, and he could only roughly see a black shadow with two points of red, a touch of orange and a Pandora flower in the Demon Realm in the distance.

At this time, Mu Ze finally came back to his senses and found that he was no longer in the mirror image, but returned to a place that was very familiar to Rukia's dream world: the Pink Garden.

"Smack!"

"What?!"

Without waiting for Mu Ze to react, a hand directly stuck his neck and lifted Mu Ze's body slightly, and then another powerful fist smashed on Mu Ze's right face with the anger of the fist owner.

With the hot pain and strong suffocation on his face, coupled with the black, red and orange black shadows, Mu Ze probably guessed who this black shadow was.

Mu Ze didn't want to resist, because this was what Mu Ze owed to Luzel, or perhaps to Rukia.

Without any explanation, another fist was imprinted on Mu Ze's face, and then another blow......

……

"Ahem, ahem."

Looking at Mu Ze, who was beaten into a pig's head by himself in front of him, Luzel let go of Mu Ze's throat.

Although Luzel had seen this scene a long, long time ago, Luzel still couldn't resist the idea of beating Mu Ze into a pig's head and put it into practice.

Purely relying on the remaining spiritual power, Luzel, who simulated a fist to hit Mu Ze, gasped and lay next to Mu Ze, and said to himself:

"Rukia's personality has a big flaw, it should be Aunt Yulia's incident that affected Rukia's child, when I saw Rukia, she was so naïve, not contaminated with a trace of the demon world."

His face was numb, but his heart was calmed down because of Luzel's fat beating, Mu Ze opened his hands and quietly listened to everything Luzel said about Rukia, Mu Ze suddenly found that he knew too little about Rukia.

The first impact on Rukia's meeting was that Rukia was the kind of tsundere girl in the anime, and the thick tsundere plot at the beginning made Mu Ze feel that this world was a little unreal, just like a game.

Now, all this happened because of my own misunderstanding.

"Rukia, who suddenly lost her umbrella, is so small, so ...... Hey, I still remember Rukia's expression at that time, it was an unreserved sobbing face, and panic. ”

"And what about Rukia's father?"

"Rukia, she doesn't have a father, which is one of the main reasons why Yulia disappeared in the first place......"

"Really? I understand. ”

"Rukia's personality was probably missing at that time. I should have thought of it a long time ago, but it wasn't until that night that I realized that for Rukia, Rukia valued her relatives who could give her a sense of security as the Demon King, and she was afraid of losing them. That's why Rukia was so indecisive when she was in the position of Demon King, she was afraid, afraid of losing me and Anika, afraid of losing the elders who loved to support her, the noble lords who were loyal to her, the knights who were loyal to her, and the kingdom and subjects left behind by Lord Yulia. Although Rukia is constantly growing rapidly, this rapid growth rate is too small and too small for the Demon King. ”

Hearing this, Mu Ze's estrangement with Rukia has completely disappeared.

That's right, this also explains why Rukia did not hesitate to ignite the clan seal for the sake of a lowly human race, and spent a lot of strength to save her, because she cared and was afraid of losing.

Is this why Rukia would believe in herself that is so false that Mu Ze himself will not believe it?

"Then the contractor ......"

"Strength."

Before Mu Ze could finish his words, he was interrupted by Luzel's explanation.

"Strength?"

Mu Ze, who got the answer, couldn't believe the answer he got.

"That's right, Rukia needs a contractor, a contractor who can help Rukia protect Rukia before she grows up. And you, the hateful creature who is a contractor, have the strength to make Rukia feel at ease, the strength that surpasses the strength of the Abyss Knight, Zero, and me, the strength to defeat other demon kings, and the strength to become Rukia's contractor. ”

Luzel replied embarrassedly, and then looked at the black-haired girl in the sea of flowers with some loneliness, which was the figure that Luzel would rather forget.

Protect the growth partner of the ungrown demon king?

Ignoring Mu Ze, who was still confused, Luzel stood up from the grass and walked to the girl in the center without looking back. With every step Luzel took, the whole world darkened a little, and Luzel's body began to drop golden powder, which was a remnant soul fragment that could not be condensed:

"Last time, it was for you to let go of your heart room and receive the memories from Rukia, but this time it's really going to disappear."

"The last question, what exactly does the so-called strength mean? Is it the super-level magic scroll in my space warehouse? ”

Mu Ze also stood up from the flowers that had begun to blur, and when he wanted to say something, he once again stopped Luzel with his raised hand.

Luzel didn't say anything, just raised his right hand from afar, and then clenched it into a fist, and the momentum belonging to the Night Demon exploded from his body with his grasp.

Strength is a clenched hand? Clench your hands, clench your hands...... Dark Night, Dark Night...... Night?!

Mu Ze, who understood something, raised his right hand as he learned Luzel's movements, and clenched his clenched in the blurred garden.

A round thing seemed to have been summoned and appeared in Mu Ze's clenched hand, and also appeared in Mu Ze's palm with the warm round object of the old owner, and the attributes in it were determined to be Mu Ze's possession through the mutilation system, and the attributes began to appear in front of Mu Ze's eyes in a steady stream.

Along with it came a phrase from Luzel that he had left in this world

"Take care of my sister, who is also an immature demon king, a bastard contractor."

Feeling the ball with body temperature in the palm of his hand, Mu Ze, who was no longer confused, looked at the figure that was blurred with this world, and finally showed a confident smile that the previous world was familiar with by other friends.

It turns out that this is what the contractor of the apprentice demon king should undertake and should do, I see.
