7th Demon Prince Jilbagias' Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling-Chapter 145: God, Forgive Me...

――My feeling toward Platy was, 『Beautiful』.

To my surprise, I could accept that result. Naturally, there was no need to express it either. Nevertheless, inside…

I…

『What are you sulking about now? It's obvious from the very beginning that you're being swayed by that woman.』

After returning to the mansion, heavily ashamed of myself, Ante said those spiteful remarks to me.

The demon god appeared like a phantom, sitting by my side.

『I thought for sure that you were aware of that.』

「… What are you talking about?」

『Your harmonious parent-child relationship.』

Her richly colored eyes were peering into mine.

Harmonious?… Don't screw with me. That's only on the surface for appearance's sake.

surely, Platy was truly open-minded for someone from the demon race, she made sure to accommodate me with everything I needed. And I… I was grateful for that.

However, that didn't change the fact that she was a demon. And one of the big shots of the Reiju clan who keeps using humans as sacrifices for their transpose curse in the Demon Kingdom.

How dare you to tell me that I had good will toward her…

Don't screw with me.

I ONLY HAVE ONE MOTHER IN THIS WORLD!

She ain't that beautiful, she was a simple woman with the brightest smile in this world――

And yet, she was tough at the same time, she ran for the entire night in spite of having that fucking night elf's arrows lodged in her back just to protect me!

And when I tried to recall my mother's face――

I was left dumbfounded.

I couldn't recall her face at all.

「… Eh?」

I could only recall the vague silhouette of her… What about her hairdo? What was the color of her eyes? … What kind of face did she make when she was smiling?

「A-AAAAH!!!」

No way, you must be kidding me, right?

How can I forget her!! I could still remember her face when I had just reincarnated!

I tried desperately to recall my mother's face while suppressing my anger.

However… The more I tried to recall anything about her, the more her figure became more ambiguous…

『No wonder.』

Ante heaved a sigh lightly while looking at me with a look of pity on her face.

『When you met me for the first time, your soul was already tattered beyond recognition. It's already a miracle that you still have a strong attachment to your previous life even in that case.』

"It's not like you forgot about it",―― Ante added with a wry smile.

『To begin with, your memories of your previous life were close to colorless, or almost transparent, like a worn-down painting. Your current, vibrant life and memories as Jilbagias are being drawn into your soul―― The relatively transparent memories of your previous life became more and more transparent until they were completely forgotten…』

I felt a chill running down my spine the moment I heard those words.

Then, no matter how much I tried to recall the face of my mother in my previous life…

The more I tried to recall it――

『―― The faster it'll fade… That's the inevitable result.』

By the current vibrant memories of mine.

My memories of yore were painted over by the new memories――

A phantom hand slowly caresses my cheek.

『However… No matter how much your memories fade, it doesn't change the fact that you have a previous life. You're the hero of the humans, Alexander.』 freeweɓnovel-cøm

Ante looked at me with a compassionate smile as she gently caressed my cheek.

… Indeed.

I forgot most of my previous life's memories.

That wasn't a lie. That was… An absolute truth.

『Though I've told you about this before… Your love toward that woman(Platy), your current mother, is important, right?』

「… Eh?」

I couldn't hide my shock, unable to understand what Ante said just now.

『I understand that as a hero, you don't want your resolution to be swayed by those demons. However, it doesn't change the fact that that woman is your biggest protector and supporter. That's why it will be more beneficial for you to love her rather than keep hating her, right?』

Ante was chuckling for a bit before she continued on.

『Especially―― When there's someone who has the ability to see through your feelings.』

… That makes sense, I was really scared for a moment back then.

Thanks to the sense of gratitude I felt toward Platy―― I had to admit that the current me―― Could deceive Gorillacia's eyes.

『That's right. You have to remember to foster a good relationship with your mother from now on. Moreover――』

"Did you forget something?" Ante asked me.

『The stronger your emotional attachment to that woman――』

The bigger reward you're going to get once it's time to harvest it you know?

… I felt a chill running down into my spine the moment I heard her last remark.

The Demon God was looking at me with an expression that was a mix of affection and pity.

Her outline remained the same, but the air around her was tinged with a murky color.

『The taste of 【Parricide】… It will surely be phenomenal!! I can't even imagine just how much power you're going to get after committing the common greatest taboo of intelligent creatures!』

Fufufufufufufu… I felt as if her eerie laugh was resounding from the bottom of the planet.

The Demon God hugged me. coiling herself around me like a snake as she caresses my face.

『――Remember. What is your goal?』

Defeat the Demon King, toppling the Demon Kingdom and saving humankind――

『In that case, your duty is to gain a strong enough power to defeat the Demon King. And most important of all…!』

Therefore, the Demon God laughed.

『――I'll allow you. Love her to your heart's content.』

She looked at me with her murky eyes filled with chaos.

Unwilling to let go of my soul.

『You don't have to worry. Just have a fill―― Of your suffering. For that is what made you stronger.』

In contrast to her cruel remarks, her gesture when she combed my hair was truly gentle.

Before I knew it, the Demon God's phantom had vanished from my sight.

Ante went hiding in my soul again.

I heaved a sigh while straightening my back.

My worry and hesitation were already gone before I knew it.

However, my heart felt like it was about to be torn apart by the endlessly intense yet cold emotion.

――I had to admit it now.

I muttered to myself as I looked at the holy sword(Adamas) that was leaning against the wall.

I―― the current me was

… I was definitely feeling love for Platy as my mother.
