「Krum! Hang in there!」
Rem shouted.
Getting away from the place that Diablo and the others were fighting, she went back as far as the town’s city gate.
Although it was called the city gate, it was now nothing but rubble.
It was the former site of the west city gate.
She would think that she was pathetic for being so weak that she couldn’t join in Diablo’s fight, but now was not the time for that.
Around her, there were people of the verge of death and people that could no longer move that had collapsed.
Rem and Shera were most likely the only ones uninjured.
──I need to help as many people as possible!
Krum’s body had a countless number of cracks. Even just lifting her up made her skin crumble off.
There was a penetrating hole in her abdomen.
She was in such a terrible state that it made Rem feel that it was hopeless and wonder “Isn’t she already dead?”.
Her small eyelids slowly opened.
「……So it is you, Rem.」
「Krum! So you were alive!」
「No……Maou has……lost -nanoda. Restoration, is no longer……possible.」
「Don’t say that! I have HP Recovery Potions that I received from Diablo!」
Rem tilted the potion tube.
The liquid was poured onto Krum’s small lips.
Her mouth loosened. Her lips cracked and chipped.
「It is pointless -nanoda……Potions of the Races do not work, on Maou. Not to mention, even trying to see, if the miracles of God work……would be disgusting.」
「Then……」
「Maou, is a solitary being……The thing that can, heal her wounds is……her own magical power……only……」
「In that case, please heal yourself immediately! Didn’t you say before that Demon Kings have magical power gushing forth from within them!?」
「……Too much……magical power, was taken, away. It does not gush forth……There is, no longer……any remaining, in my, body.」
Her voice was gradually getting thinner.
「Krum!?」
「Ahh……I wanted……to eat biscuits……one more……time…………」
The inner corners of Rem’s eyes became hot.
The inside of her chest tightened.
At this rate, Krum would vanish.
In the past, the Demon King Krebskrum was someone that she hated to the point that she wanted to terminate her even if it costed her her own life, but now, she was already family.
「Krum, I……don’t want to lose you.」
What she pulled out from her pouch, was a transparent orb──It was the 《Divine Crystal》 that had a black flame swaying within it.
It was something that the Chief of the Dark Elves Rafleisha used to take out the remains of the Demon King that were inside of Rem.
──If I return this, she might turn into Krebskrum.
Krum turning into a biscuit-loving little girl, was because she had lost her memories.
A Demon King was something that killed the Races. She did not possess that desire.
If that weren’t the case, it surely would have turned into a fight.
She felt that what was sealed in this 《Divine Crystal》 was most likely Krum’s memories. The urge of wanting to destroy the Races.
However, there was no doubt that there was also magical power.
In order to save Krum, this magical power was necessary……
Rem gazed at her.
She looked like she would turn into a hill of sand at any moment. No, it might already be too late. There was no time to hesitate.
「……I!」
She move the 《Divine Crystal》 towards Krum’s body.
She pushed it to the hole that was opened in her abdomen.
The transparent orb, broke into tiny pieces. The flame that swayed within it, gently spread out.
「Krum!」
However, nothing changed.
The small girl’s body, had countless cracks, and merely lied there.
──I was too late!?
Rem’s hands trembled.
The figure of Krum deliciously eating biscuits came to her mind. As well as her figure as she resented the scoundrels that caused trouble to the people of the town. Even her figure as she enjoyably sang……Also, how she ate steak, how she ate cake, how she ate pasta……
She did nothing but eat.
*Boro boro* Tears came flooding out, and her vision became warped.
Rem ended up crouching down.
「I’m……I’m so……sorry……I……did nothing, but hesitate……」
Covering her face with both hands, she raised her voice and cried.
「AH, AAaaAAAH!」
「Rem……!? A, are you alright!?」
The one who placed a hand on her shoulder, was Shera.
「Krum is……because, of me! I! AAaaAAH!」
「EH!? Krum-chan is……!?」
「It’s because, I hesitated! I was too late……ッ……Guh! She didn’t make it in time! UAah!」
「What did you sayー!?」
「Did you not make it in time, Krum-chan!?」
「Did Maou not make it in time!? I don’t really get it but, don’t cry, Rem. I’ll give you a biscuit so.」
Rem even stopped breathing.
──Eh!?
*Gabah* She raised her head.
Krum was there making a puzzled face.
She was tilting her small head.
「Oh, you stopped crying. There, there. I shall give you a biscuit. It is a bit broken though.」
Krum expressed a smile. In her hand, she held out a biscuit that had turned into tiny pieces.
On her skin, there remained some faint cracks, but they were already recovering.
Shera was caressing her small head.
「Thank goodness you’re aliveー. It’s a relief.」
「Fufun, that’s only natural -nanoda!」
Rem was dumbfounded.
「Krum……is……alive?」
「What are you saying -noda, Rem? Are you not the one who gave magical power to Maou.」
「Th, that is……true but……I thought that I hadn’t made it in time.」
「Fu fu fu, it is because Maou is strong!」
Going *Fufun*, she puffed out her chest.
Going *Oh right*, Krum turned around.
「I will also heal Edelgart -noda.」
The young Demonic Being lady who had several holes opened up in her and was about to vanish was healed in an instant.
*Gaba* Edelgart got up.
「Demon King～samaa～! Safe……!? Safe! Thank goodnessss!」
「What, a Demonic Being crying. What an embarrassing fellow -nanoda.」
「Ujyauu」
When they had first met, Edelgart was expressionless like a doll and seemed dreadful but……she was a shop of emotions when it came to the Demon King, and even charm could be felt from her nowadays.
「Good for you too, Edelgart-san.」
Shera was moved to tears.
Both her thoughts and her tear glands were somewhat loose.
Taken in by that, Rem ended up almost crying again.
──At any rate, to be able to heal a Demonic Being that was on the verge of death in an instant, it truly is great that Krum isn’t an enemy of the Races.
Going *Ha!*, she realized it.
「Krum, your memories……!?」
「Mu? Ahh, I remembered various things -noda. Rem, thanks to you.」
「……You remembered?」
「Ku ku ku……Demon Kings are, beings that annihilate the Races -nanoda!」
Rem put herself on guard.
「N, no way……!!」
「However, Maou likes biscuits.」
「Eh?」
「Plus, living in this town with Rem and Shera and the others is also fun. There are also still a lot of delicious looking things that Maou still hasn’t eaten.」
「……Is that true? But, your memories.」
「Rem, you want to defeat the Demon King Krebskrum, that is how you feel, right?」
「Y, yes……I will not deny it. That was, my dearest wish?」
「Even now -nano ka?」
She shook her head sideways.
「……If that were the case, I am sure that I wouldn’t have returned that magical power to you.」
「Umu. In that case, you are the same as Maou -nanoda! Maou remembered that there was an urge to slaughter. But, that is already something of the past. Memories are things of that level -nanoda!」
「Krum-chan!」
Shera hugged her.
「What are you doing, it is stifling -noda, Shera!」
「I love youー!!」
「Umumu……I, understand that. So let go -nodaー.」
Although she disliked the act, Krum was smiling.
Rem wiped the area around her eyes.
「……So the days that we spent……in this peaceful town, had meaning to them.」
In order to protect that lifestyle as well, they needed to win.
She moved her gaze to the battle.
It was right at that moment that the close quarters combat with Modinalaam through Sasala and Rose had unfolded.
──They are too fast.
It was hard for her to even chase after them with her eyes.
Diablo entered a stance to use multiplex magic. She could clearly tell that he trusted Sasala and Rose. It was because he had never used it on an enemy that had gotten so close when he was traveling with Rem and Shera.
