Volume 5 Chapter 28
(Zeke's Side)
Thanks to Chippy, I managed to keep myself together.
...That was close.
If things had gone just a little differently, I might have been swallowed up by my hatred for Makhen.
I could have become the very embodiment of an evil Demon Lord...
But that didn't happen, all thanks to Chippy being here.
...Thank you.
And... thank you.
"Z-Zeke... that's embarrassing."
"Huh?"
Before I realized it, I was hugging Chippy tight.
Right in front of me was the brown-skinned girl, her face as red as a ripe tomato.
"Ah, sorry! I-I didn't mean to... was that too much?"
I couldn't help but think that I really didn't want Chippy to push me away.
It was strange.
I had never felt any resistance to holding her or giving her a tight hug before.
To me, embracing something beloved had always felt completely normal.
But now, there was this nagging fear──
a fear of being rejected by Chippy.
"You silly! It's not like I hate it or anything..."
"Chippy..."
My heart swelled with affection for Chippy.
Ah, this feeling...
"By the way! Zeke! This is bad! The town... everyone's...!"
"It's okay."
Holding Chippy close, I raised my right hand high above us.
"Hand of God!"
With a brilliant flash,
my hand shone.
Now, a pure white sun appeared in the sky.
It instantly resurrected the broken and the beasts that had perished.
"W-Wow... I can't believe you can perform such miracles. Zeke is... like a god!"
...I'm not a god.
I've caused everyone pain and suffering just by being absent.
"I'm just an inexperienced human."
But Chippy shook her head vigorously.
"Zeke is an amazing person. Don't be so down."
"Chippy..."
Ah, it's clear now... I really do love Chippy.
The feeling of wanting her by my side, supporting me, only grew stronger.
"Zeke... um, well, it's about time..."
"Zeke!"
Just then, someone called out to me.
"Elaina! Are you alright?"
The Demon Lord's daughter, Elaina, rushed over to me.
*Panting heavily, I take a deep breath.*
"It's... it's terrible! Ms. Cino has!"
"What happened to Cino!?"
I pull away from Chippy and step toward Elaina, urgency in my stride.
"Ms. Cino was... stolen by Jamael."
"...Jamael?"
That bastard... again...
He's taken something precious from me...!
"Doctor!"
"Elron!"
From above, the Divine Dragon King Elron descends.
"What happened to the Ultra Demon Lord...?"
"He retreated. He said he would wait at the final battlefield."
...The Ultra Demon Lord, and the Ultra Hero.
Both are tangled up in that fool Jamael's schemes.
So...
My father and Cino are both in the hands of my arch-enemy.
"......"
"Zeke, what are you going to do...?"
What am I going to do?
"It's obvious. It's the final battle."
Let's settle our grudge once and for all, Jamael.
