*Boro boro* (appearing in drops). Transparent drops were overflowing and going along her cheeks.
Shoot.
Did he go a bit too far?
「Are you, hurt somewhere?」
「……That’s not……I’m so hap……py…….So happy.」
「Wh, what?」
Could it be, her panther ears felt that good!?
Rem talked with her sobbing mixed in.
「……Uuu……It’s because……you said……no matter……the circumstances……y, you would take……it all in.」
「Nn? Ah, o, of course.」
He felt like he said something like that in the course of things.
If it were some outrageous secret, what would he do.
——How could this be. I even thought that I’d go my whole life unrelated to things that would invite trouble from female relationships.
Rem calmed her breathing down.
If there was a water supply, he could at least draw some water, but unfortunately, in this world, drinkable water was a high-class item, and was something one couldn’t buy unless they went to the bar’s counter.
「Nn? No, come to think of it……」
It was something that he couldn’t do in the game due to the specifications, but this world’s chemical elemental magic is greatly affected by his own imagination. If he could at least extract the moisture from the atmosphere, and if he were to do it with the gist of it being like a dehumidifier, it should be possible.
He decided to test it out a bit.
Diablo opened up the palm of his hand, and, in addition to that, he decisively imagined a small sized ice sculpture.
He didn’t mind if the shape was simple.
It was a glass that he always used. That and, he gathered moisture from the air. Magic of the lowest level.
「《Ice》 as well as 《Water》.」
Diablo’s hand shined, and a glass of ice and pure water appeared.
Remembering the setting explanation, he estimated that he would be able to use it this way, but it was something he had to try out.
Rem’s eyes became round.
「……This, is?」
「A glass and water. Though, since it’s a glass of ice, it’s slippery.」
Supporting her back, he raised her body.
And then, he handed her the glass.
「……ッ……It’s, cold.」
「Don’t drink it all in one gulp. Do it slowly.」
When she held the glass of ice using both hands, although she was surprised, she moistened her throat.
If he could create products like glass and ceramics, it looked like it could be useful in more daily life things. In that case, would that make it earth attribute magic? That wasn’t exactly his strong point. He decided to test it out when he had some time.
Rem took a breath.
「……Hafuu.」
「Are you alright now?」
Since she did a small nod, he dispersed the glass of ice and the water.
When he became aware of things, he was sitting shoulder to shoulder with her on top of the bed and supporting that small back of hers. It was just as if he were embracing the shoulder of a lover.
——No, this is just, looking after her. Ah, I said that this was torture before, didn’t I!
The reason why a person of Celes’ caliber would visit a cheap hotel. And to hear Rem’s secret were his objectives.
Rem was staring at him.
The eyes of a kitten, this was probably those felt.
It was like there was a small bit of fear and huge expectations were stuffed into them.
Diablo didn’t urge her on.
Her cherry blossom lips opened.
「……The Demon King Krebskrem’s soul……is sealed within me.」
「ッ!? I see.」
Diablo nodded.
Rather, Rem was the one that was surprised and made her eyes round.
「……Eh? Is that it? Are you not repulsed by it? Do you not find that dreadful? Do, do you……not……hate me for it?」
「The Demon King Krebskrem’s soul is repulsive? Dreadful? What are you saying, I am the Demon King Diablo, you know?」
「……Th, then.」
「Celes said that she wanted to protect you. Going by that, it would be valid to think that the Demon King Krebskrem’s soul would be released if you were to die or if you were kidnapped by the demonic beings. Furthermore, you don’t know of any means to take it out right now. If you did have those means, you’d get surround by the war potential from around the world, take it out, and defeat it, right?. And then, the only one that knows about this would pretty much be Celes. Naturally including the people of the town, not even the underlings of the Magicians Society know about this. That’s because I don’t think that hysteric wire man would attach “-sama” to the one possessing the Demon King Krebskrem’s soul. Those people only think of you, Rem, as an excellent Summoner. How is it? Did I get something wrong?」
Her eyes became round.
「……Y, you are correct……The soul’s release, will be when I die.」
「Just in case, I’ll make this inquiry. Did your mother also harbor the Demon King Krebskrem’s soul?」
「……」
Rem nodded.
So in other words, the Demon King Krebskrem’s soul is hereditary. From mother to daughter……
If this were the MMORPG Cross Reverie’s settings, Diablo would’ve had great boos for the administration.
To burden the fate of the world on a single girl’s shoulders, isn’t that way too cruel.
Moreover, she was way too powerless as an adventurer.
