Chapter 142 What'S Next
Demon Lord Vandesdelka has returned to Leaf Chemist's hometown.
The village head couple did not know Leaf's true identity.
"So... what are you going to do from now on? About Leaf-kun."
Vandesdelka asks the two.
Currently, Leaf may be a a god of destruction.
A being that may destroy everything, a potentially dangerous existence...
"To be honest, I think it's dangerous to let Leaf-kun out as he is."
A dangerous being that destroys everything it touches.
If it goes out of control...
"No, I want Leaf-chan to live freely as he is."
"Are you serious? He might be a god of destruction!"
"So what? Are you saying we should kill him?"
"I, I didn't mean it that way..."
Under the pressure from Arthur, Vandesdelka shrinks back.
The old man quickly suppressed his killing intent and solemnly said,
"Leaf-chan might not be human after all."
However, Arthur calmly continued,
"Still, he's one of the children in this village."
"Arthur-san..."
Since Leaf Chemist arrived in this village, he has been observing his actions.
He honed his skills under his master and used his power for the well-being of everyone in the village.
There is no hint of malice in his appearance.
"Whether that child is human or not, he is precious to us villagers."
"So... are you going to leave him as he is? An unpredictable existence that might go berserk at any moment?"
Arthur and Merlin narrowed their eyes.
"If that happens... we will take responsibility to stop Leaf-chan."
"And... if Leaf-chan loses his sense of self and becomes a threat to others... I will take his life."
"Of course, I will do the same, old man."
...Vandesdelka didn't honestly think the two were making the right decision.
But he could also understand the feelings of parents thinking about their children.
For Arthur and the others, Leaf Chemist is like a real child.
That's why they say they'll take responsibility if he messes up.
"......"
Vandesdelka reflects.
Certainly, Leaf Chemist is an extraordinary existence.
Always messing up, a dangerous existence.
But...
Surrounded by adventurers like Mercury, the future of the young man (Leaf) who seems to be having fun...
It felt somehow wrong to shut that down.
"So... as the village's policy, we'll let Leaf do as he pleases. If something happens, the people from Hero Village will step in to stop him."
"Yes. Let's go with that policy."
