Chapter 1331: ? ? ? ①

Chapter 1331 – ? ? ? ①

A day had passed since the Founding Festival, which I attended and participated in as a stallkeeper, and to relieve my fatigue, I’m now leisurely brushing Bell.

Well…… I was supposed to be brushing Bell but……

[Oh, sorry for suddenly calling you here, Kaito.]

[……N- No.]

Rather than calling me here, it was more like I was almost forcibly brought here…… As I had such thoughts in mind, I looked at Megiddo-san in front of me.

I’m currently in Megiddo-san’s house…… castle near that huge arena I’ve visited before, and I suppose this would be the first time I’ve ever visited him here.

It may be due to the size of Megiddo-san’s body, but in any case, various things in the room are big.

[……So, what business do you have with me?]

[Yeah, but wait a bit…… Oi, Shalltear. I know you’re there. Is there anyone around?]

[……There’s no one around.]

When Alice answered Megiddo-san’s question, Megiddo-san nodded once and then, his expression turned serious.

[I called Kaito this time because I wanted to ask you for a favor.]

[A favor?]

[Yeah…… I want you to beat me.]

[Yes?]

U- Unnn? What’s he suddenly saying now…… That doesn’t sound like…… he’s asking for a match. He’s telling me not to “fight him”, but “to beat him”? W- What’s going on? I have no clue what’s going on at all.

Looking at me who was curiously tilting my head at his words, Megiddo-san seemed to have expected my reaction as he began to explain.

[Well, to put it simply…… I guess it would be better if I show you that first.]

As he said this, Megiddo-san’s body lit up and his appearance changed. He…… No, she had long crimson hair and two crimson hair and two large horns along the back of her head. There appeared the figure of a glamorous woman in tattered clothes…… Eh? What is this?

This doesn’t…… seem like Humanization Magic, is it? Megiddo-san’s Humanized form should have been a muscular man……

[Kaito should have already known about this, but regarding this original form of mine……]

[Eh? No, no, please wait! First of all, that’s the first time I’ve seen you in that form!]

[Ahh? Didn’t you see this back in the God Realm?]

[No, even if I see your current form, I would know if it was Megiddo-san or not……]

The matter about the God Realm Megiddo-san is talking about here, she’s probably referring to that time with Shiro-san’s ordeals. Indeed, I may have seen her in that form at that time, but if she didn’t explain that to me, I wouldn’t have recognized her as Megiddo-san at first sight.

[……Well, in any case, that is Megiddo-san’s original form. I understand that.]

[Oh. Then, I’ll continue with my explanation…… Regarding this form though, I honestly can’t say that I’m in a state where I can fully use my power. I had sealed a part of my power.]

[Sealed?]

[Yeah, how should I put it…… There’s this destructive urge inside me that I can’t control. It’s something I was born with…… In fact, until I was beaten up by Kuromueina once, I was rampaging in the Demon Realm with only the urge to destroy everything in mind.]

Seeing the serious expression on Megiddo-san’s face as she explained this, I also listened to her with a serious expression on my face. Thereupon, Alice appeared right at that moment and sat next to me.

[Truth is, I don’t know much about it myself. Those were events that happened before I came to this world…… I did hear about how Megiddo-san destroyed about one-third of old Demon Realm.]

[That was way, way back in the past, but that certainly was the case…… Well, I unfortunately couldn’t really remember what happened back then myself.]

[T- The scale of the story somehow became outrageous……]

Destroying one-third of the vast Demon Realm, that alone is quite the incident…… but since she said Kuro had beaten her up before, I guess that means Kuro had defeated her?

[I was rampaging with my destructive impulses, and Kuromueina defeated me. And at that time, Kuromueina sealed my destructive impulses.]

[No, you’re skipping too much info there…… Why do you think I went out of my way to appear here when a crisis like this was brought up? How about you tell us about it a bit more?]

[No, like I said, I don’t remember much about it myself…… Well, if you’re fine with stuff I heard from Kuromueina……]

In response to Alice’s words, Megiddo-san nodded while lightly scratching her head…… I suppose this is like talking about the past. To be honest, I’m also quite interested in Megiddo-san’s past. I mean, I still don’t know how this will lead to her earlier remark about me defeating her.

However, just as I thought of listening to what she had to say seriously……

[Ah, is this gonna take long? Then, can’t you at least serve us a cup of tea? Ah, serve us some teacakes while———– Ouch!?]

[You…… Can’t you read the mood……]

After dropping my fist on Alice’s head, who just casually demanded some tea, I turned to Megiddo-san and focused on the conversation.

? ? ? : [Serious-senpai had secreted too much sugar and is now sleeping. How unfortunate, the arc kinda feels serious……]

T/N: The whole title is literally hidden other than the only word “inside/within”, so it’s either I post the whole arc in one go or just go with question marks for the title.
