chapter 17
17 – Lulu
“What do you mean?”
Enine returned from the imperial palace. Perhaps now the misunderstanding has been cleared up.
It’s ridiculous to even think about it now. I sigh to hear that you broke up with me for just that reason.
I thought there must have been a huge misunderstanding, but I’m angry that it came from such a simple misunderstanding.
“Dogram… I’m sorry…”
Hearing my sigh, Enain knelt down to me.
And she seemed pathetic… Like servile. She started apologizing to me.
Well, he must have heard what happened to Lulu, obviously.
“I… I’m sorry… I… I’m sorry.”
Her eyes turned red, and hot tears began to flow.
As if he was really reflecting on himself, really sorry… He started begging me.
I’m just sorry…
“I was really wrong. I will reflect on it for the rest of my life…”
Enain stuttered her words, and her body trembled.
My voice cracked, and my gaze continued to stare at the ground, as if I had no confidence to look at me.
“I know I shouldn’t have said this now, but…”
Then she spat out what she wanted to say.
“Can you get engaged to me again?”
Can you get engaged again?
She was the one who begged me if I could give her another chance.
“Nine… I thought about the past for a while before you came.”
I was going to say the words I had prepared to E9.
The more I talked about Philaine and her past, the more I realized something.
“I liked you more than I thought…”
I definitely loved E9 in the past.
I didn’t want to admit it, but I really liked E9.
From a certain moment on, E9in grew quite large in my heart.
“But … Like her lies, her feelings for her that she liked her are all gone.”
And that was just the past. That feeling is gone now.
Now… I don’t love E9 anymore.
There has been too much work now. Couldn’t love anymore
“So… That’s impossible now.”
So I declined. And when Enain heard my answer, she shed tears reluctantly.
To be honest, I felt sorry for E9.
Well, putting aside the fact that he did something bad to me, it was just a misunderstanding.
To be honest, she hadn’t even thought about dating her again for a while.
She thought about going back to the warrior party as if nothing had happened since she became her fiancé again.
But, as expected. I can’t go out with Enain again.
Just like water that has flowed cannot go back to the bucket.
Just as broken glass cannot be restored.
A broken relationship cannot be restored.
Even if you forcefully try to put the pieces together, it is meaningless in the end.
It’s only a fake… In appearance. It is a relationship that will naturally break if another typhoon blows.
In the end, she just lives with a lump in one side of her chest. A relationship like that… Can’t last.
“Nine… I’m sorry. I don’t like you like I used to. So will you please stop appearing in front of me from now on?”
So I said goodbye to Enine.
It’s too late for us to turn back.

Enine listened to Dogram’s refusal.
“I can’t… I hate…”
She was in denial. She had no choice but to… Deny Dogram’s words.
To Dogram who was about to leave her… She tried to deny this moment.
She said she couldn’t do this… She kept trying to deny it in her head…
“Don’t leave Dogram. I was wrong. Because I was wrong.”
But even if she tried to deny it, she wouldn’t deny it.
Dogram’s face, expression, and behavior…
Because there was no more… Chance left. Because he completely abandoned himself.
“Please…”
But… But only once. Thinking that
I clung to the Dogram in front of me again. Would it be okay if I did this?
Again… I asked him to look at himself… He looked at Dogram, clinging once more.
“Nine. I’m sorry. Please give up now.”
But… It was no use.
Dogram looks completely disappointed in himself.
He was a Dogram who didn’t even expect anything from himself.
“I… I can’t do without you. I only have you.”
If I miss Dogram here… What would happen?
There was no way I could stand something like that.
I wanted to catch Dogram… Unconditionally.
“Ah… Yes! Dogram… I will give up my champion’s power.”
And then a method came to E9’s head.
The story of giving up the power of the hero I heard from Lulu…
If you really give up the power of a hero, won’t Dogram look after you? I thought so.
“If I give up… Will you look back? If I give up everything… Will you look back?”
To reflect on one’s mistakes… If you throw away the power of the hero, Dogram will definitely look after you.
Because it always… Has always been. Because when he was powerless, Dogram always watched over him.
So… It’s probably that moment now.
“What? What do you mean by giving up the power of a hero?”
I saw Dogram’s flustered expression. I could feel the embarrassment in his demeanor, which had been cold until just before.
If you really… Throw it away, wouldn’t it look back? Even if you don’t forgive me right away… Won’t you forgive me later?
If I could be forgiven… I would be able to do anything.
“I… Thought. If I hadn’t done something like a hero… I would have just… Been happy then…”
Thinking about it, I’ve been unhappy ever since I became a hero. At first he liked being a hero, but…
Now that I think about it, it would have been better if I hadn’t been chosen as such a hero…
If there was a future that made that choice, wouldn’t it have gotten along well with Dogram?
“Are you crazy? Don’t do it. What kind of hero are you going to give up on?
I heard the sound of drying myself.
But, I couldn’t help it. In order to look back on him, he is the only thing he can throw away, because he has only this left…
He may be forgiven if he throws away the last… Form he has. If I throw away the power of the hero… I might be able to go back to the way it was before.
“Lulu said. If I give up… I can be forgiven… So I will give up… I will give up. Now… The only thing I can give up on is this…”

… Can’t believe it…
Ena Yin’s body turned golden, and I couldn’t feel her strong magic anymore.
I really… Really felt like Enain had given up her warrior power.
She felt her strength dissipate. Enine was no longer a warrior.
f*cked…
I started breaking out in a cold sweat right now, at this moment.
Now that the hero’s power was gone, this was an obvious crisis. It was an almost catastrophic crisis.
Because without the strength of the hero… The demon lord cannot be stopped. This… Was a crisis that could annihilate humanity.
“What the hell…Why did this happen…”
A warrior is in a really important position. Because of this hero, the power of the demon king and the power of humans can be maintained.
Even if the hero is before awakening, because of the existence of the hero, the demon king cannot hastily attack humans. That’s why a warrior is a person in an important position. It is a hidden card on the human side, and the Joker is the hero.
A hero is a very important and great position in this world. It should never be thrown away easily.
Originally, in the hero’s class, you should never throw it away… You receive a class that is close to brainwashing.
E9 doesn’t know what it means to give up this power.
Throwing it away means throwing away the world. As much as that… It’s a really important issue.
A warrior like that… Enine gave up.
This was… Again, a very serious matter.
“Lulu… Where are you?”
I abandoned the hero… In this damn situation, I thought of Lulu. E9’s last words… The words that Lulu said passed by.
She must have coaxed Enain to give up her heroic power.
Why the hell? The word passed through my head… Why the hell is Lulu…?
“Did you call me?”
When I called Lulu, Lulu came out with a smile on her face.
Lulu, who always shows a lively figure, but now, as if he was extremely happy in this situation, he walked towards me almost like dancing, spinning his body round and round.
When I saw her, I started to get angry.
“What the hell were you thinking? Did you say that to Enain?”
What is Lulu’s purpose? Why the hell did you say that to Enain?
Even Lulu probably doesn’t know the meaning of giving up the power of a hero.
I grabbed her by the shoulders and started to argue. What the hell… What the hell! Did you? Humanity is now in crisis.
“Curious?”
Lulu who always smiles and is lively…
However, Lulu’s laughter was severe today.
And… It was so bad that it made me feel bad.
“I thought so.”
I had an ominous feeling. And sure enough, Lulu looked at me and smiled brightly, then she unexpectedly cast her magic.
I couldn’t move my body because of the yellow light magic.
My whole body was paralyzed and I couldn’t even speak, I just looked up at Lulu.
“Things went better than expected.”
As I was looking up at Lulu, Lulu’s appearance began to change.
Her purple hair, which was originally cute, has turned pale silver.
Her cute and cute face turned cold and cold-blooded.
“Lulu… You…”
And in her changed appearance, her demonic horns and tail appeared. That figure… A demon…
It also had a humanoid appearance, so it was a high-level demon at least.
No… It’s not like a high level demon. There’s no way I’ll fall to the level of a high-ranking demon. It feels certain. A different level of magic power, although I was knocked down by a surprise attack, I would have definitely lost if it hadn’t been a surprise attack.
“Lurustasia… That’s my original name. And identity… What is it?”
Lulu’s true identity…
She didn’t tell me, but I had to hunch.
“Huhheung♬”
This guy… Is the Demon King.
