[……This is what I’ve been keeping from you . Do you despise me now?]
[No, well, to be honest, my mind hasn’t quite caught up yet but…… as for despising you……]
[I see…… Thank you . ]
I’m not going to criticize her for the fact that Dr . Vier was the Demon King .
However, because I received so much information, I couldn’t put my thoughts together and could only give a vague reply .
Seeing me like this, Dr . Vier smiles and speaks .
[……That’s why I’m not going to the Six Kings Festival…… I can’t go . Even though you went out of your way to invite me, I’m sorry . ]
[Ah, n- no……]
[However, I’m glad that Miyamkun invited me . Well then, I’m sorry to call you so late at night . You’re able to return using Teleportation Magic, so I’m sure you’ll be fine . Have a safe trip home . ]

After saying that, Dr . Vier let out a very sad smile and turned her back to me, before starting to kneel down and pray before the moonlight .
She seemed to be saying that she had nothing more to say, I wasn’t able to say anything…… Bowing once to Dr . Vier, I left .
I could have directly gone back with Teleportation Magic, but I wanted some time to clear my head, so I decided to walk down the dimly lit street for a bit .
Surrounded by the quiet, cool night air, my footsteps were the only sound that could be heard .
[……Hey, Alice . ]
[……What is it?]
[……Does Kuro know about Dr . Vier……]
[She knows . It doesn’t seem like they’ve personally met though…… . ]
When I called out, Alice appeared next to me and answered my question as she walked down the street at night, having a slow stride like mine .

[……Doesn’t Kuro…… ummm…… “walk around Symphonia Kingdom’s royal capital often”?]
[……Yes, Kuro-san enjoys eating while strolling, so she goes here and there…… but she visits this royal capital much more often than other places . ]
[Then, as I thought……]
[Well, she’s definitely checking on how she’s going…… That’s why she often brought Hikari with her when she came to the capital . ]
[I see……]
As I listened to Alice’s words, I continued thinking, even though my mind still hasn’t caught up with everything .
Is this really something that I, a third party, can easily step into?
If Dr . Vier was as arrogant as the Demon Lord I had imagined, I might have been able to condemn her .
However, Dr . Vier regretted her past actions and continues to suffer in atonement .

[……Hey, Alice . What do you think I should do?]
I found myself saying these words . I don’t think I can do anything about it, but I can’t forget about it either…… . I also don’t think it’s okay for it to stay like this though .
[……I don’t know . It’s not my place to say anything about it . ]
[……I see . ]
[However…… I will respect Kaito-san’s opinion . ]
[……Thank you . ]

Depending on how you look at it, her opinion might have sounded cold . However, the words Alice said…… were very gentle words… . . as she said it didn’t matter what path I chose, and when I needed help, she would always be there to lend a hand .
After thanking Alice, I walked through the night streets for a while before I used Teleportation Magic to return to my room .
Even after a night of sleep, I still felt fuzziness in my mind . I also didn’t think this is something I could talk about with Lilisan and the others .

I was so troubled that I didn’t go out that day, which was unusual for me, and stayed in my room, lost in thought .
But no matter how long I thought for, I couldn’t come to a conclusion on what to do . No, I don’t even know what I’m worried about anymore .
The easiest choice would have been if I could dismiss it as none of my business, but I guess it’s in my nature to get in
volved in these troublesome matters .
[……Kaito-kun?]
[Eh? Yes, come in . ]
I smiled a bit awkwardly back at Kuro, who had been in the room before I knew it .
Since it’s Kuro, I think she knew that I talked to Dr . Vier . That’s probably why she’s a bit sad .
[……So you’ve met Vier . ]
Visit lightnovelworld[ . ]com for the best novel reading experience
[Unnn . No, well, it’s more accurate to say that we already met before without really getting to know each other……]
[……Hearing Vier’s story, what did Kaito-kun think?]
[……My honest opinion is that I don’t know . ]
No, it might just be that I’m being slightly partial towards Dr . Vier’s side .

I didn’t see Dr . Vier with my own eyes when she was the Demon Lord . The only Dr . Vier I know of is the current Dr . Vier .
She might be a bit klutzy, but she’s a kind person who always thinks of others…… That was the impression I had of Dr . Vier .
[Hey, Kuro? Can I ask you one thing?]
[Unnn . ]
[……Do you want to meet Dr . Vier?]
Visit lightnovelworld[ . ]com for the best novel reading experience
[……Unnn . I want to see her . After all, she’s my “family”…… I want to see and talk to her . ]
With a lonely look on Kuro’s face…… she called her “family”……
Dr . Vier said that she used to be Kuro’s family member, but Kuro told me that she was her family without hesitation . No, I think Dr . Vier still thinks of Kuro like family too .
She even tried to start a war for Kuro’s sake…… I think that deep down inside she also wants to see Kuro .
[……However, I think Vier will feel hurt again if she sees me…… that’s why I can’t meet her . ]
[……I see . ]
I guess that’s probably the biggest factor? Dr . Vier felt guilty for making Kuro cry . Kuro also feels guilty that Dr . Vier became the Demon Lord because she didn’t speak her true feelings .
I think it’s because they both felt guilty about each other that they have misunderstood each other even though they love each other very much .
Ahh, I see…… I finally understand why I had been so worried about this matter .

I want to…… “try do something about it”… . . I want to bring Dr . Vier and Kuro together again .
However, both Kuro and Dr . Vier said that they couldn’t see each other . That’s why I was having a hard time figuring out what the right thing to do was .

Maybe it’s none of my business to get involved in a family matter as an outsider . I’m sure it would be easier if I could dismiss it as none of my business .
However, as I thought, this won’t do . It seems like I’m the kind of person who can’t give up on something once I’m involved in it .
Then, there’s no point worrying about it…… I’ll go meet Dr . Vier again tomorrow .
To be honest, I don’t even have a plan, but I think I should start by talking with her first .
I don’t have an answer to what I should do . However, I understood what I wanted to do .
So, the day after I talked to Kuro, the 20th Day of the Light month…… I came to the front of Dr . Vier’s clinic with Teleportation Magic .
However, in that place…… someone unexpected was waiting for me .

[……I knew you’d come . ]
[……Neun-san?]
A few meters in front of where I teleported leisurely stands Neun-san, holding a sword similar to a Japanese katana in her hand .
[……My apologies, Kaito-san…… I can’t let you through here . ]
[……………… . ]
[I don’t mean you any harm, but I won’t let you pass…… Please leave . ]
The prickly, strong emotions conveyed by my Sympathy Magic made it painfully clear to me that Neun-san was serious about not letting me through .
Dear Mom, Dad————- After talking with Kuro, I understood what I wanted to do . That’s why I thought of talking with Dr . Vier again…… However, the one who stood in front of me was the one who once defeated the Demon Lord————- The legendary hero .

Ah, this is bad…… I can’t put the April Fool’s Day Extra Chapter in the middle of a development like this…… I guess I’ll just put it off until the Vier arc ends .
