Epilogue: A step to the beyond
After that.
Around two weeks have passed since the first and probably last incident where the ghouls in town were turned into zombies.
What do I say?… As I’ve been for a long time at the Netherworld, I’ve lost my sense of reality.
We… Who cares!
According to Lilith-san’s report… It’s been decided that at last we can return to the human world.
It seems that after returning to the human world, the International Monster Association plant on lending us all-out support to protect me against the Black Tamers.
According to Lilith-san.
The person entrusted with guarding me has been deemed the most competent monster tamer in the IMA for two years straight, but… What kind of person is that guy?
I ended up hoping to return even a second earlier to the human world.
Time to set sail.
I order for us to get on board of the highspeed yacht that Lilith-san had chartered, we went to the harbor area.
“Oneesama. Chiharu-sama… Please take care.”
“Yup. Aruru… Thanks for going out of your way to send us off.”
When I conveyed to her my sincere grateful feelings, Aruru exaggeratedly shaking her head,
“… F-far from it!
Chiharu-sama, right now you are regarded as a hero by us ghouls! It’s impossible for a princess of this country to not come to send you off!
Really… Really… No matter how much we thank you, Chiharu-sama, it won’t be enough…”
“…”
How do I put it, well… It’s come to that.
Having freed the continent of Living Lodge from the evil clutches of the necromancer, overnight, I came to be treated as the man of the moment.
It seems that, due to this time’s incident, the anti-human faction that was the main one among the ghouls has lost impetus, while the ghouls from the pro-human faction are in rapid increase.
“E-erm… Say… Human. For saving us… Well, thanks.”
“Yup. Take care you too, Meruru!”
“Hyau!?”
Even though I planned to pet her head as a parting gift, Meruru swiftly brushed off my hand and hid behind Aruru.
“Ufufu. Meruru is not honest.”
“…”
I’d say that, since the incident, Meruru has gone through a sudden change.
Specifically, even when we are together, she doesn’t bit me in the arm and somehow she seems to have grown distant with me…
“… Chiharu-kun. When I met you for the first time… Sorry for being so unkind.
I know that it’s impudent to ask you for this now, but… My daughter… Please take care of her.”
“That… Not at all! Please raise your head!?”
No matter what they say, having the king of a country bow to me doesn’t sit well with me.
“We were mistaken with you.
Those hateful monster tamers like the Black Tamers… That among humans there were wonderful youths like you… I realized with this incident.”
“… Is that so?”
I can’t express it before Satos-san, but…
The ones in the wrong, were they just the Black Tamers?
Ever since the end of the other day’s battle, that doubt started crossing my mind.
Things are not that simple.
I was for a short time, but since coming to the Netherworld, it made me come to a realization.
Monsters and humans.
IMA and Black Tamers.
The problems each one shoulders are deeper than I imagined.
The one who can mediate between humans and monsters… Ain’t just me, a chimera of those two…?
Curiously, lately I’ve been struck by that sense of duty.
Why is it?
According to Lilith-san.
In normal circumstances, it seems that there’s absolutely no way that a chimera between human and monster is born.
Could it be that, unexpectedly, there’s a reason I’ve been born into this world…
Whaaat, surely I’m just overthinking things?
“By the way, Chiharu-kun. I need to consultate it, but… Can I ask just one thing of you?”
“… Yes. What is it?”
Satosu-san, with stern demeanor, “ahem”, cleared his throat,
“To me, so as from now on the friendship between humans and the ghoul clan deepens, it would mean much if you, by all means, joined our household.”
“… Y-yeah?”
