…Hah?

That person…did she just call me here to end her life?

It doesn't make any sense. I don't know the reasons behind all of this, and not to mention that she
even prepared a lot of things in advanced. I'm not really a person who would capable enough to do
this. r…I dent get il Wishing for something like this, especially to a person that youve just called over…
even twisting the fate of thaatt person to tuitil this wish… Because of this thought, I move closer to
her and look her in the eyes. [Wha, what is it?] She quiedly stared at me, and then lils her head in as
she asked. I was captivated by that lovely gesture, and my heart skipped a beat, and then I cupped her
sof her soft cheeks with both of my hands.
[…Hyaа?J [Asif a child could just easily kill someone, don't just bluntly tell me to kill without lelling me
whyll] Aspunishment, istreiched out her soft cheeks. Ooch, i'm so soft. [lyanall? Hil? Hyahyahayahyall?
It huwts, il huwts, it huwtsll Waill I shaid wa waitl? It huwis, he hey!l? Ihuwes, it huwtsj I want to
conlinue some more, butl limmediataly let go when i saw her face almost on the verge of crying. Iwha,
wha wha, what do you think you are doingl!? My cheeksl I thought my cheeks would be pulled om?
Don'! tell me, you have that kind of hobby…wa, wait, i am not into that, so don't include on thatt? At,
at least, make it normal finst? Not lo mention, even though I look like this, I am reasonably old…
Oh, this person is really interesting. [Well, if's your fault for suddenly telling me to kill you without
even telling me why. Asif I would just acceptit so suddenly without explanationsi?] [Uguh… well, that
ts. I guess, even I would be troubled if I was told something like that all of a sudden. I know that it
would be something hard to accept, but would you listen to my circumstances? J […alright]
Alter nodding, her expression changed into a serious one. I could understand after that interaction
that the girl in front of me is not just someone who would try to mess up someone else's life without
a reason, and that she wasn't just acling confidently without a certain level of determination. [Finst of
all, an introduction. I am known by the name, [Leticia Wallentein] . And I am the current inheritor of
the skili [Demon Lord] ] Demon Lord…? That would be a template that you would expect in a world of
sword and magic. Speaking of Demon Lords, they are beings that are known to be rulers of evil and
bring chaos to the world. Aferall i's a necessary spice added to shape up the world of most adventure
games to bring more entertainment to its story. However, entertainment aside, they would always be
commonly portrayed as those who govern evil And the significance of such a title cannot be taken
away that easily. [Then about the purpose of why I captured your soul and inserted it to a body I've
created. That is for you to inherit this this skill [Demon Lord] and prevent it from randomly spawning
on someone alse in the world. J [Why…J [Well you see, about the skil [Demon Lord] … its a skil that
gives a lot of powerful benefits to its user. Its important that I would know the one who would inhert
the [Demon Lord] skill than letting some random monster possess 2. Demons who have previously
inherited this skoli have been a center of worship of other demons and would have subordinates
following under their banner. Under its rule, the strong would dominate the weak which could be said
to be the simplest form of ruling over monsters and demons, however because of this supremacist
views being developed, war becomes inevitable and it drives the world into this cycle. J [On the
otherhand, [Demon Lord] does not exist, the demons and monsters won't be able to fight back and
continue to perish. The worst case scenario would be for the entire demon race to be weakened on
the continuous cycle of destruction and be eradicated all over the world. That would have to be
avoided at all cost, that's why I called for you…J [That's not what I'm asking… I unconsciously
screamed as i speak to Leticia while looking directly into her eyes. [it's not about why there needs to
be a Demon Lord… I won't understand it even if you explain it to me, and I'm not concerned about
that. What I want to know is why do you have to die? Are in a sealed state because of that sword? If
that is so, then I will pull it out for you…J […That would be a useless attempt She looked straight at me
and smiled as if she was a mother caring for her child. She's telling me not to worry and to calm down,
even saying it will be fine…but.

[Though I may look young like this, I am actually over a thousand years old… I have also been sanled
here for a very long lime. In my current state, my power is already starting to diminish, and the light
of my life is already on the verge of disappearing. Using what remained of my vitality, I created that
vessel where l inserted your soul. I wasn'l even expecting for it to succeed despite the imperfections,
this could probably even be called a miracle? J [I have been known as the strongest existence called
[Vampire Princess Demon Lord Leticia] but now airendy fnding, and the best thing could do before
that happened is to prepare that weakened body to inherit this will while forciblyentangling your scul
on the process)Aloud rustling sound could be heard as the wind strongly blows the leaves of the giant
tree where Leticia was sealed. Even with her display of majesty, I could feel that the girfs shadow is
starting to become faint.iHas iffifsteling me the end is inevitable and is visibly approaching.
[Time is it don't know what kind of world or environment you have lived in, and how you have lived
your life until now. And I'm sorry, I would have wanted to tell you more about my world, the current
world you will be leaving in, because there are a lot of things that you would probably want to know
about, but I don't have the time to do so do so anymore…She was taiking to me in a really gentie
voice. Every word that comes out of her felt like if's telling me that everything will be over soon. there
nothing else could do. If i look for it, I might find i, and if there's a demon lord then thhis is a world of
swords and magic, so there might be something like a medicine that could make you live forever,
amything is fine evenif it seems imposiblel? That's why, please don't give up just yet…J [Fumu…You
are quite a gentle one. Would you mind coming closer for a bit?] With that said, I approached Leticia
while a bit annoyed with her giggling. Then when I was close enough, she pats my head. [To be
honest, when finally found a response, I was expecling that soul to be reseniful of being foroed into
doing this. I have also expected that the person would immediately kill me and the one who would
inherit [Demon Lord] would immediately be bom] [However, il seems like my calculation went off.
Afler all, a gentie person like you was the one who responded to mycall] I. what do you mean gentle,
stop trying to imply things out of your convenience, I'm just… Leticia, I'm justa weak human who
can'trespond back to your determination… f…That may be so. However, this might also be fine as is.
Wit's someone like you whoremble at the thought of hurting someone, despite being confused or
understand that things are impossible to do, yet still strives to get the best results without giving up,
while that might be timid and naive way of thinking, it might actually bring a big change to the overall
outcome in comparison to what am expecting. That's whny keep that nature of yours, even if it's
naive. But right now, I want you to face me head on without running away. That will also become your
strength. Make sure to keep that in mind, and follow through it no matter what others would say. J
[That's just being selfish… [The elderly have always been sellish] [Are you really trying say that while
looking like that?J
IWhat do you meani? For your information, this is not my original form so l am a bil smaller nowll If it
was the original me before I was sealed, then your eyes would be stuck staring at my bon kyu bon
perfect body!!] [Anyway, what I understand the most is that you are speaking like an old person)
We continued repeating such stupid exchanges. There should have been other topics that we could
have talked about like about the world or about the demon lord. But well, this way of speaking made
me as if was being spoiled by her kindness so l continued. [Hey… is there really no other choice?]
[Yeah, it's aiready a determined result. And even if I was able to survive, it won't stop the erosion of
my soul. I'm sorry… for troubling you to inheril this harsh fate] […is that sol And so, with her
instructions, I grasped the sword stabbed in her chest. Just pushing this a little bil would definitely
end her life. [Sorry for the trouble… No, that's notit, I should be grateful instead. I offer you my
thanks.] [Ath, then this is iL. I don't really know about demon lords sort the fate that the weight of
fate that they are going to carry, but even for a short lime that we have interacted, am giad that the
first person I've enoountered in this new world is you, Leticia] [The same here, I am happy thata
person like you responded to my call Using all my strength, I push the sword that I held. Athough my
body is that of a child, it was more than enough to pierce Leticia's fragile body. Allar nudging from the
stab, Leticia's body sionly fnded and turned into bubbles of light before completely disappearing. I
don't really know was because she was a demon, or how the rules of this world works, but will
monsters not lnave any corpses when theydie…

DEFEATED DEMON LORD LETICIA NO XP WAS ACQUIRED IN THIS BATTLE THE SKILL [Demon Lord] WAS
INHERITED BECAUSE THE CONDITIONS TO INHERIT HAVE BEEN SATISFIED I then received a message as
if an inorganic voice were announcing from somewhere. This is also probably a benefit from status
magic. Well, il doesn't really matter. Right now, what I wanted was… to think more about that girl
called Leticia.
