Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 192.2

Izelle, like Camile, was a half-elf with one human parent. She had always been Camile’s follower, so she would be able to walk the same path as him.

Before I knew it, a light gate leading outside opened at the bottom altar, just like in the previous dungeon, and Doehill and Charlemagne disappeared somewhere.

Unlike us, who were all sent here, they went to rescue their warriors and clansmen still in the dungeon.

[Gaa…]

“Yeah.”

I approached Nero, who was lying on my side, and leaned my back on him to rest my body; Jesha looked like she wanted to ask me something, but I let myself fall asleep, taking advantage of the fact that Nero was glaring at anyone who came close to him.

And then–

“Aria, my unsociable disciple.”

“…are you done your talk? Master Celeshura.”

I was awakened by the call of my name. Master, who had been discussing with his sister Aishe, was looking down at me, who had my back to Nero with a slightly tired look on my face.

“Oh, it’s over. I’m sorry to trouble you…”

“Nah. Master and Nero both came to find me, so…”

“I see.”

Master patted my head lightly and approached the gate.

“…Are you sure about this?”

“Yeah…”

Beyond my gaze, Aishe was adjusting her tattered equipment without looking at me. I could see the anguish in her profile, but I felt as if the shackles inside her had been released.

“Aishe is an adult now. She has her own life. Aishe is going to organize the army and use her power not to defeat the humans, but to use her to protect the Demons. There’s no place for me back in the Demon Nation now.”

“I see…”

Aishe had caused the death of many people by involving them in her hatred. She had chosen to live to atone for them from now on.

“If I live long enough, I’ll see her again. The life of a Demon is long. Besides…”

Master stopped in her tracks and looked at Aishe for a moment, then shifted her gaze to me.

“Our place to return to is that “Home” in the forest, right?”

“…Yes.”

Dark Elves live for five hundred years. My master told me that she would spend one hundred of those years with me.

I might never see Aishe again. We have tried to kill each other, but there was no hatred between us. There were no words to speak. We simply took different paths…that’s all.

It was the same with Camile and the others. Even though we were on the same continent, the distance between Claydale and the Demon Nation was enormous. Even if we never see each other again, we must continue on the thorny path that we have chosen.

“Aria… thank you for taking care of her.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

Without a word of farewell, we simply turned our backs to part ways to follow our paths.

I know he could push forward on his own, and I know he will.

And I’m going back to Claydale to protect Elena. …to kill her.

“So, how are we going back?”

After a simple goodbye, we left the demon fortress, and Jessa, who was accompanying us, called out to us with a resigned look on her face for some reason.

There was talk that the Dwarf Jesha would be welcomed as a guest of the Demon Nation. She had protected Camile in the Selection Ceremony, so it would have been easier for the demons to accept her, but she chose to go back with us.
