Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 190.4
“There is no “wish” that I want to be fulfilled.”
Wishes… Elena wished for “healing” and lost her fire attribute in return; Carla gained “power” in return for her longevity; and the first Demon King was the first of his kind to be granted the “Power” to protect his people. What did the first Demon King pay for the survival of his race?
I have nothing to hope for. I did not want to become stronger with gifts. But I remembered that my ultimate desire was to [live as myself], unlike Carla, who wanted to die.
I couldn’t go on as I was.
Carla…I would continue to be “me” and become stronger.
I had another “hope” for Carla…just now…other than to be strong.
“…Can I wish for something else instead?”
***
“Aria!”
I put the things I received into my [Shadow Storage], and when I was sent away again by the spirit, this time to a hall-like place with an altar, I was greeted by a relieved-looking Camille.
“Aria, where have you been!”
“It’s the spirit sent me somewhere else on a whim after that. Don’t worry about it.”
“…Really?”
Maybe he noticed that I was still a little tense from the battle with Carla, and Camille, who seemed to be slightly withdrawn, seemed to be not convinced by my words.
So this was the lowest level they could reach… Looking around, I saw Doehill and Charlemagne, who seemed to have stopped fighting, but were checking each other with a swarthy atmosphere.
They were certainly not satisfied with this outcome, since their men had been killed. Moreover, it was a half-hearted ending because Carla, who was not one of them, had arrived at the end of the dungeon.
But this battle was not all in vain. Because they risked their lives to fight for their friends, the Demon King’s life was prolonged, and Camille, the child of the Demon King, grew as a person.
In the end, it led to the survival of the Demon race. And then–
“Aria, that person helped us. …You know her, don’t you?”
“…Yeah.”
Several figures came toward us: Jesha, Kadori, Izelle, Nero… and…
“Master Celeshura…”
“You’re alive and well, Aria, my unsociable apprentice.”
Not only Nero, but the master came too. Even though her body was not fit to fight anymore…
Nero came to join me in the fight. And the master understood my situation and protected Camille and the others.
[Gaa…]
“Don’t get upset.”
Nero growled in frustration as he quickly left after having met me, and Master chuckled with a slightly tired look on her face.
For a moment, my heart relaxed, and then…
[Gah!]
“Wha!!!”
Nero howled, and several needle-like blades rained down on us, which Nero and I repelled with knives and tentacles as if we were protecting Master.
But–
“Kuh!”
“Master!”
A needle pierced Master’s shoulder, and she fell to her knees in agony, as if she had been poisoned. And then–
“…Aria.”
Camille, who had been distracted by us, was stabbed in the stomach from behind by “someone” with a blade like a broken sword.
