Chapter 18: 18

Translated by AmaLynne

Out!

No, you’re already out! I don’t care if it was a big bird or not, that little girl’s appearance is completely out of character!

In addition, when she changed her appearance, her tone of voice became a bit younger, didn’t it?

“Mu, Phoenix, are you sure you can mimic human form now?”

“Yes, that’s right. I’ve been trying my best to look just like Demiurge-sama!”

You’re looking a little young, after all, just like you look.

“Oh, I see. But it seems that if you are in human form, you need to wear clothes. I’ll make you a special one.”

“What?! Demiurge-sama is going to give me some clothes? I’m so happy!”

“Umu-umu, you are an honest fellow. Then, let’s get to work.”

Hooray… It seems that Demiurge has agreed to make some clothes for her.

I patted my chest.

What can I say? It’s too heartbreaking to be with a naked girl who looks like that.

I’ve been completely forgotten, but that’s not the point right now.

I still don’t know the reason why she came here in the first place.

“And why, after having acquired so much intelligence, have you never come back to me?”

That’s because… I’ve been working hard every day to fulfill the order from Demiurge-sama to destroy the humans… I had made up my mind that when I had eradicated all the humans, I would return to Demiurge-sama… But…”

Immediately, the phoenix moved its head toward me and glared at me.

Wow, you’re sending me a lot of hostility.

However, Demiurge immediately intervened between Phoenix and me.

“When Demiurge-sama’s presence disappeared, I was in a great hurry! I’ve been looking for all this time, following the slightest trace of her!”

“I see… I’m sorry to have caused you so much worry.”

“Yes. If I can’t confirm that Demiurge-sama is safe, I won’t be able to fulfill my mission… So when I finally found you, I was delighted… but… but~~~~…”

Yes, the phoenix was twitching and trembling as if it was trying to withstand something.

And the next moment, I was exposed to a wave of rage so dense that I could feel its mass.

“Why…Why are there humans here, Demiurge-sama!”

It was a tremendous rage.

A normal person would die of shock just from this.

My skin goes numb and I get goosebumps softly.

Even in the form of a young girl, she is indeed the strongest demon known as a phantom beast.

“Calm down, Phoenix. I will explain what has happened and where we are now. I’ll also explain everything about this human… and my husband.”

“H-Husband? This human?”

“Umu… he and I, we’ve… umm, become husband and wife *blushes*…”

“Wh-Wh-Wh―――?!”

Please don’t do this, Demiurge, because Phoenix-san is about to kill me!

“You, mortal, marry Demiurge-sama?”

Phoenix’s hair spread out in a blur as Demiurge dyed her cheeks.

I don’t know if it’s mindless, but it looks like there’s a lot of fire flying around…

“…give me a break already.”

After that, it took quite a while for the Demiurgeos to give a good explanation of what we were.

◆◇◆◇◆

“In other words, this person is the lowlife who made Demiurge-sama into an animal, is that right?”

“He may be a bastard, but he’s not that lowly. No, there is a part of him that forgets that he has been courting me that I find annoying.”

Oi, wait, wait, wait.

The content of the conversation makes it sound like I’m a total scumbag.

No, well, I’m certainly aware that I’ve done quite a bit of scumbag… 2 years ago.

But you can’t blame me for the Demiurge incident.

We were both risking our lives.

No… but the part about me confessing to Demiurge.

I still feel guilty that I can’t remember that one.

Maybe that’s why I haven’t been able to accept Demiurge’s love for me yet.

Demiurge explained to Phoenix that she had lost her power in the battle with me, but that the battle had produced the seed of the World Tree, and that she was now in the process of nurturing that seed.

However, in the course of the conversation, she even complained about me.

Thus…

“I’ve always hoped that the husband would make up his mind as soon as possible and work with me to make a baby…”

“……”

*Jito~* The accusatory stare that I received made me turn my head away.

I think it’s shameful, but I still feel it’s not right to be carried away and go out with Demiurge.

But that doesn’t give me an excuse to keep putting off my answer forever.

Having said that, I still don’t know how I feel about Demiurge myself.

Haha… really, I’m going to be real trash if I keep this up, I guess.

“However, Demiurge-sama, I was really surprised to learn that the World Tree produced seeds. But instead, Demiurge-sama has very little power… No matter how much her core was damaged by that scum, the reason Demiurge-sama is so vulnerable is because of the World Tree, right?”

“Umu, you’re right. But I’m not pessimistic. That seed is the hope of the world. If it is to protect and nurture it, I will gladly give my mana. And if I can’t fight, my husband there will be there to help me.”

“Muguguu…”

And Demiurge gives me a trusting look.

But at the same time, Phoenix gave me a displeased look with a furrowed brow.

“Demiurge-sama… I have been creating demons for a long time now, and I am starting to lose the power of my prime. I’m about to use up all of the mana that Demiurge-sama gave me.”

“Mu? Is that for real?”

“Yes… Therefore, I will dedicate all of my last remaining mana to the World Tree… If I do that, I’m sure the World Tree will grow to its full potential!”

“But if you do that, you’re…”

“Yes… I’m sure I won’t be able to maintain my body and will disappear. But if it’s for the good of the world, for the good of Demiurge-sama, then I will gladly give my life for it!”

“Phoenix, you…”

Oh, what devotion and loyalty!

If it’s for the sake of her lord, she will give up her life.

She may look like a little girl, but she seems to have matured well inside.

Despite her childish language, her declaration is full of determination.

To be honest, it was remarkable.

“But first… hey, you human!”

But Phoenix’s eyes lifted and she pointed at me.

“M-Me…?”

“There’s no one else in here but you! Are you stupid?”

“Eehhh…”

I think I heard some cursing that sounded very familiar.

Two years ago, Martina used to say to me, “Are you stupid?”.

When I first met her, I thought she was a quiet girl, but after going out with her for a while, she turned out to be quite a tomboy.

I miss it.

I was lost in my memories.

“I’ll never accept that you’re Demiurge-sama’s husband, because you must have used some dirty trick to get to her! I’m going to turn you into charcoal before I disappear!”

“Ee~……”

Yeah, yeah. I had a feeling it was going to happen.

And I can almost perfectly imagine what Phoenix is going to say after this.

“Now, fight me, human!”

See? I knew it was coming.
