Chapter 347: 347
In the church at night, surrounded by the eerie silence, Dr . Vier and I faced each other .
After a few moments of silence, Dr . Vier slowly opens her mouth .
[……Miyamkun . Ever since you saw me and Hikari at lunch, a question had been in your mind, right? Why are these people so shaken about it……]
[……You’ve noticed that?]
[Unnn . I mean, Miyamkun is the type of person who can’t lie . Your face shows your emotions immediately, so it’s very easy for me to understand . ]
[…………… . ]
I wonder why? Maybe it’s because I was told something like that before…… but I thought I saw Kuro’s smile for a moment on Dr . Vier’s gentle wry smile .
I had always somehow had this vague feeling . I felt strangely comfortable talking to her, but that was probably because…… Dr . Vier resembles Kuro .
It isn’t the way she looks, but the way she feels . Perhaps, that’s why I couldn’t assent with the word “sin” that Dr . Vier mentioned before .
[Seeing Miyamkun’s reaction, I knew it would be difficult to keep it a secret…… No . I thought it would be painful to keep deceiving Miyamkun . ]

[……Eh?]
[I couldn’t tell you this for a long time but…… . Miyamkun, thank you for “saving Kuromu-sama”…… and for doing what I couldn’t do……]
[Then, as I thought…… Dr . Vier…… is part of Kuro’s family?]
She said words of thanks . Ever since Neun-san had shown up, I had thought of the possibility…… but it seems like Dr . Vier was Kuro’s family .
However, if that’s so, why is she hiding it from me? Did she just not tell me because I didn’t ask?
[……I “used to” be her family . ]
[Used to?]
[……I haven’t seen Kuromu-sama in over a thousand years already . I’m not qualified to call myself as part of Kuromu-sama’s family . ]
[……What does…… that mean?]

Dr . Vier’s face contorted in pain as she tells me that she is Kuro’s former family .
When I heard those words, I remembered what Kuro had said to me when she told me about her past .
Kuro said that she had to hurt her precious family…… because she hadn’t been honest with her about her wish . As for the name of her family, she hadn’t clearly told me her name…… but I wonder if she was talking about Dr . Vier?
[……Unnn, Yeah…… Let me introduce myself again . ]
[……Unnn?]
[My name is Vier…… A Demon raised by the Underworld King Kuromueina…… I once called myself the “Demon Lord” and waged war on the Human Realm . I am…… the most foolish person of the world . ]
[……Demon…… Lord?]
I didn’t know what Dr . Vier was talking about . No, I couldn’t understand the meaning of the words she’s saying . However, my mind wouldn’t process such information at all .
Demon Lord she said, is she talking about that Demon Lord? That Demon Lord who had led a huge army to invade the Human Realm and was defeated by the First Hero, Neun-san, a thousand years ago…… The true identity of that Demon Lord is Dr . Vier?

I was so confused that I couldn’t speak, but Dr . Vier seemed to be waiting for me to calm down, before she continued talking .
[I’m a unique species of Demon that doesn’t hold a race name . I was just born, not knowing anything, and Kuromu-sama picked me up and raised me . The name Vier is one of the most precious treasures I received from Kuromu-sama . ]
[……………… . ]
[I loved Kuromu-sama so much…… I was thinking of her as my real mother . She said that one day, I would be strong enough to help her…… Yes, that’s what I thought . ]
Speaking of which, I’ve heard that from Alice . She said that the Demon Lord was like a little sister for the Six Kings……
I’m getting even more confused . When I heard the story from Alice, I didn’t think too much about what the Demon Lord was thinking when she invaded the Human Realm .
However, if that Demon Lord was actually Dr . Vier…… Then, why did a kind…… Why did a woman who should have been kind like her do such a thing? A question like that just surged out from within my mind .
[……I was picked up by Kuromu-sama about 8000 years ago, I think . One of those days, I noticed that there was a shadow hidden beneath Kuromu-sama’s smile . ]
[……That’s……]

[Unnn . I’m sure Miyamkun would know about it as the person who had saved Kuromu-sama…… At that time though, I didn’t understand why Kuromu-sama had that look on her face . ]
[…………… . ]
[However, one thing was clear to me: I didn’t want her to be sad . So, I thought about it a lot . I thought, and thought…… and ended up making a hopelessly big “misunderstanding” . ]

Each word uttered with deep regret seemed to pierce my heart, and I was wrapped up in an emotion I couldn’t quite describe .
Sympathy? Anger? Pity? Concern? All of them seemed to be the right answers, but all of them seemed to be wrong .
[In the past, Kuromu-sama and the others challenged the Gods to a battle . I didn’t know the details, but that legend was widely known in the Demon Realm…… I thought that Kuromu-sama’s sorrow was because she was unable to defeat the Gods . ]
[……That is……]
[Unnn . Looking back on it now, I should have known that the kind Kuromu-sama would never think of such a thing . But at that time, I didn’t have the composure to think…… . Just having the thought of such a deed being for Kuromu-sama’s sake, I wasn’t able to think straight . ]
[……Then, the reason Dr . Vier invaded the Human Realm was because……]

[……I wanted to make Kuromu-sama the king of the world . So that no one would hurt Kuromsama’s feelings, so that no one would make Kuromu-sama sad…… I thought of making Kuromu-sama the one standing on the absolute top of the world . I thought that doing so would be my way of repaying Kuromu-sama for raising me…… . I seriously thought of such things . ]
[……………………]
I probably should have said something . But still, no words came out of my mouth .
After all, the person herself already understands her mistake . She helplessly regrets it, and even now, she continues her never-ending atonement .
That’s why I, who didn’t know at that time, can’t reproach Dr . Vier…… nor could I comfort her .
[I was really…… really stupid . I’ve hurt lots of people…… It feels agonizing . It feels painful…… Every time I hurt someone with my hands, it feels so painful that I felt like crying . However, I’ve been fooling myself with the excuse that this is for Kuromu-sama…… I’ve continuously done all these stupidities, until Hikari defeated me . ]
[………………]
I’m not sure if it was because she was being reminded of that time or not, but big drops of tears began flowing down Dr . Vier’s eyes .

Ahh, as I thought, she really is…… a helplessly kind and loving person . That’s also the reason why she had become this distorted and continued to suffer until today .

[Even though Hikari had beaten me, I still didn’t give up…… I tried to make my battered body stand up and make Kuromu-sama the king of the world…… but it was at that moment that Kuromu-sama appeared before us……]
[………………]
[Kuromu-sama…… was “crying”…… Looking at the battered me, she sorrowfully cried…… Even though what I wanted was for Kuromu-sama to not cry anymore…… Even though I wanted to protect Kuromu-sama…… The person who hurt Kuromu-sama’s feelings the most was me . ]
[……Dr . Vier . ]
As tears ceaselessly flowed in her eyes, Dr . Vier began to talk about those days as if she were repenting .
It was the story of a Demon and the important existence that she wanted to protect, even if she had to bend her principles…… but because of a big misunderstanding, she hurt that important existence more deeply than anyone else……
Dear Mom, Dad————- What Dr . Vier said was something I hadn’t expected, and in the end, I don’t think I was able to say or understand much of it . However, one fact is for sure———– It was about how Dr . Vier was once the Demon Lord .
Serious-senpai should be smiling after seeing this .

T/N: And this would be the final chapter for the year . I was originally planning to have some break on Dec . 16, but since the Vier’s arc is so long that I don’t think I would be able to post all of it even after Christmas, I decided to take my break early . Though I said that, I will still probably be translating chapters, but I will be back after the new year comes . Expect for the large drops of chapters at that time, but until then, I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .
