Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume11 Epilogue (section)

===Part 5===

The infinite darkness devouring Kamito disappeared.

As he regained his senses&mdash;

Kamito found himself standing before the Elemental Lords' thrones.

Before his eyes was Restia's face, smiling as though in a dream.

Her lovely lips were trembling lightly.

"Miss Sacred Sword. I apologize. For pushing this mission on you."

"...!"

The Demon Slayer was giving off dazzling brilliance.

Its cold blade&mdash;

Had pierced Restia's chest directly.

"...Restia?"

Kamito stared wide-eyed and muttered hoarsely.

"...W... HY..."

"It's very... simple, Kamito..."

Breathing extremely feebly, Restia shook her head.

"Once Ren Ashdoll's will is destroyed, you will no longer become the Demon King. Hence, I hoped to be killed the instant her will took over me."

"Why... would..."

From the very start&mdash;

From the very start, she had already decided to do this, right?

By her own efforts alone. Personally sending Ren Ashdoll's will to the grave.

Fingers trembling, she released the hilt of the sword stabbed inside her body.

"&mdash;A final farewell, Kamito."

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

"Miss Sacred Sword, please protect... Kamito well..."

"Restia... RESTIAAAAAAAA!"

At the same moment when the Demon Slayer lost its brightness...

The figure of the darkness spirit girl vanished.

&mdash;END.
