《KyrieSide》
ㅤ
I settled the disturbances in the royal capital.
ㅤ
“Now, everyone, let’s go home.”
『『『Yes!』』』
ㅤ
It was when I was about to go home with the forest people.
ㅤ
“Wait, please! Kyrie-sama……!!!!!!”
ㅤ
Approaching with an dignified look, and accompanied by a few knights, was a familiar face I’d seen before. . . . . .
Huh.
ㅤ
“Surely, His Majesty the King. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
He’s the king of this country.
I’ve seen him a few times.
ㅤ
He knelt before me and deeply bowed his head.
Eh, what? Wh, what…?
ㅤ
“Goddess Kyrie, thank you very much for helping us!”
“Hu, huh….”
ㅤ
I’m being called Goddess Kyrie again.
Even though the name of the god is Noir-sama. . . . . .
ㅤ
“I didn’t do anything. Everything was resolved because the people of the royal capital and the forest people prayed hard to God for peace.”
ㅤ
This large-scale miracle could never have been brought about by me alone.
It’s all by the will of the gods.
ㅤ
“Goddess Kyrie, please, won’t you come back to the royal capital?”
“Come back. . . . . .”
“Yes! For the prosperity of this country in the future, please! Please stay in this country! You don’t have to work. We will even set up a temple for you! We’ll send help, and welcome you as a permanent honored guest!”
“Eh, well. . . . . .then what should I do. . . . . .?”
“You don’t have to do anything! Just be in this country as a symbol of peace!”
ㅤ
I glance back at the people of the forest.
They were restless.
ㅤ
. . . . . .It’s okay. I’ve already made up my mind.
ㅤ
“Unfortunately, I cannot do that.”
“What?! Wh, why?!”
“Because I have people to protect.”
ㅤ
Now, unlike when I was exiled, I have many things to carry.
Mr. Chatura and the other monsters.
ㅤ
And. . . . . .the will of the first Holy Demon King Ellison-sama.
ㅤ
“I already consider the forest my second home. I can’t leave it.”
“Bu, but. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Three beautiful men and women stand before me.
They are Mr. Chatura, Mrs. Syndulla, and Miss Anila.
ㅤ
“You heard our master’s will, didn’t you?”
“Kyrie-sama is indispensable to us, the people of the forest.”
“We can’t hand her over to you guys.”
ㅤ
The king falls on his behind, frightened by their glares.
ㅤ
“All three of you. . . . . .sit down.”
“””Kyuuun. . . . . .”””
ㅤ
I’m happy that they care about me, but fighting isn’t good.
“But Kyrie-sama. . . . . .what about the protection of this country? How should we maintain the barrier that guards the city. . . . . .?”
ㅤ
That’s when. . . . . .
ㅤ
“There’s no problem with that, Your Majesty.”
“Priest Ion-sama. . . . . .”
ㅤ
My former boss, the priest, approached with a smile.
ㅤ
“What do you mean. . . . . .? Priest Ion?”
“Please look. That beautiful barrier that envelops the royal capital.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Huh?
That’s the Holy Barrier I created with everyone’s help.
ㅤ
“As a result of our investigation, that barrier is eternal. In other words, the barrier that Goddess Kyrie has set up will protect the people of the royal capital forever.”
“Wh, what?! An eternal barrier?! Is such a thing. . . . . .possible?”
“It’s impossible. A barrier is a kind of magic, and it wears down as the magical power depletes, eventually disappearing. An eternal barrier is like something out of a fairy tale. . . . . .no, you could call it a miraculous item.”
ㅤ
However, that barrier seems to be real. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Indeed, Goddess Kyrie is an incredible person. By creating an unprecedented, tremendous barrier, she has bestowed mercy upon us so that the people of the royal capital may live in peace forever.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Eh, um. . . . . .
Priest Ion-sama?
ㅤ
Why is he looking at me with such an intense gaze?
And, over and over, it’s like. . . . . .
ㅤ
“It’s like I’m some kind of god, isn’t it?”
“? Is that not the case?”
“It’s not!”
ㅤ
I’m not a god; I’m one who serves a god!
But Priest Ion-sama says with a smile.
ㅤ
“I’ve decided to leave Celestial Guidance.”
“What? Eh, the Celestial Guidance Church. . . . . .? Why. . . . . .?”
“From now on, I’ve decided to worship a new god.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .Oh, a new god.
Is that so. . . . . .? But why is he staring at me?
ㅤ
I have a really bad feeling about this. . . . . .
ㅤ
“S, So. . . . . .then, I’ll be going now! I’m going home, everyone!”
“Ah! Goddess Kyrie! Please wait!”
ㅤ
Priest Ion-sama tries to stop me.
But I don’t look back and run off with the forest people.
ㅤ
“Thank you, Goddess Kyrie!””We will pray to Goddess Kyrie every day from now on!””Long live Goddess Kyrie!”
ㅤ
We, the forest people, come to the entrance of the royal capital and turn around and say.
ㅤ
“I. . . . . .am not a god!”
ㅤ
Proudly, with my chest puffed out, I declare.
ㅤ
“I inherit the will of Holy Demon King Ellison-sama, who united the forest people. . . . . .the new Demon King. The Second Holy Demon King Kyrie・Inori, that’s me!”
ㅤ
That’s the moment.
From my back. . . . . .
ㅤ
“W, What’s this…?!”
ㅤ
Suddenly, giant wings sprouted.
Moreover. . . . . .There are two pairs!
ㅤ
Huh? What?
Why wings?!
ㅤ
『Oh, Kyrie-neechan’s wings have multiplied!』『So beautiful!』『So pretty!』
ㅤ
Kumakichi-kun, Guu-chan, and Sura-chan compliment me. . . . . .wait, what?
Why aren’t they. . . . . .confused?
ㅤ
“I have wings now, aren’t you surprised?”
『『『Yeah, because you had them before.』』』
“Ehhh?!”
ㅤ
I had them before?!
Wings?!
ㅤ
This is bad. . . . . .I’m so shocked, I can’t keep my composure. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Kyrie-sama has declared herself the Demon King. . . . . .!”
ㅤ
Mr. Chatura says proudly and joyfully.
ㅤ
“All you Demon Kings hiding in the world, our master is the true Demon King!”
ㅤ
The true Demon King?!
Miss Anila transforms into a dragon form and shouts.
ㅤ
『From now on, anyone claiming to be the Demon King will be crushed! My Kyrie will be the pinnacle of all Demon Kings! That’s what she’s saying!』
ㅤ
I didn’t say that. . . . . .(crying)
ㅤ
“From now on, Abyss Forest will create a new nation under Kyrie-sama’s name, where humans and monsters will coexist, she said!”
ㅤ
I didn’t say that. . . . . .(crying)
ㅤ
“Humanity, our goddess is merciful. If you seek help, Abyss Forest will accept all! And you demonic beings, hear this! We are. . . . . .”
“Oh, enough already! Stop, stop! I’m going home!”
ㅤ
At that moment, my wings spread wider. . . . . .enveloping everyone.
Our vision turns white. . . . . .
ㅤ
And soon, we were back in front of the forest. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Teleportation. . . . . .?”
“Oh! A group teleportation spell, using such advanced magic, truly amazing, Goddess Kyrie!”
ㅤ
The forest people kneel before me.
Um, uh. . . . . .
ㅤ
“When did I say I was the pinnacle of Demon Kings?”
『Oh, you didn’t say that?』
“I didn’t say that! Miss Anila, don’t say things on your own!”
ㅤ
Next, I glare at Mr. Chatura.
ㅤ
“When did I declare that I would create a nation?”
“Huh? You didn’t say that?”
“I didn’t! Enough, enough! You all are just. . . . . .sigh.”
ㅤ
And. . . . . .
ㅤ
“I’m not a goddess; I’m a saint!”
ㅤ
Then, the people of the forest say with a smile.
ㅤ
『『『Once again, you’re joking』』』
“It’s not a joke. Gosh. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Ah, God, I’m sorry.
It seems everyone thinks of me as a God on their own.
ㅤ
I’m merely a representative of God.
It’s just God who is performing the miracles. . . . . .
ㅤ
Really, I’m sorry. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Now, now, Kyrie. It’s okay, isn’t it?”
“Mrs. Kumako. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Mrs. Kumako, in human form, comforts me.
ㅤ
“Sooner or later, your reputation will spread all over the world, and many monsters and humans will gather here. The forest has become a country. Sooner or later.”
“Rumors. . . . . .”
“You’ve done so much after all.”
ㅤ
. . . . . .The one who did it was not me, but God Noir. . . . . .
ㅤ
『『『Long live Kyrie-sama! Long live the founding of the nation!』』』
“The name is the Holy Demon King and Monster Country… Yes, the Demon Kingdom Kyrienostia! Let’s name it that!”
ㅤ
. . . . . .They’ve even decided the name of the country on their own. . . . . .
Sigh. . . . . .
ㅤ
Oh. . . . . .
ㅤ
“Why did this happen. . . . . .”
ㅤ
🔸
ㅤ
My name is Kyrie・Inori.
By a twist of fate, I was banished from the royal capital, and before I knew it, I had become the queen of the Demon Kingdom Kyrienostia.
