Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[Gypsum Deadly Sin]

Lily is alone in the distant darkness I was crouching.

“It’s cold…”

Lily curled up her small body and shivered. One by one, fireworks began to bloom around the girl.

Good luck! Grumble! Grumble!

So many flames that they push away all the surrounding darkness. However, the chill that made my body tremble did not go away at all.

Because it wasn’t really cold.

“It’s cold…”

Balaam’s magic did not completely take over Lily’s mind. The brand that was visible on the Four Heavenly Kings’ forehead did not appear on Lily’s forehead.

But Balaam thought it was simply a matter of time. I decided that the magic would definitely take hold over time.

-However, there was something even the Demon King did not expect.

There is something stirring inside the girl that even the devil’s power cannot handle.

That ‘existence’ may be stimulated by the power of the Demon King and awakened.

Something called the girl.

“…huh?”

Lily looked up. And gazed beyond the darkness.

At that moment, a small light twinkled in the distance.

At the same time, I had a strong feeling that something was calling me.

Jump up.

Lily stood up.

My mind, which had been dazed by the brainwashing magic, gradually became clearer and my blurred eyes returned to focus.

“…mister?”

Lily started walking towards a sparkling light in the distance. The light did not get any closer.

Lily now started running. But the light was still very far away.

“Are you uncle?”

Grumble!

Lily made butterfly-shaped wings out of flame. With a single flap of its wings, it flew through the darkness in an instant.

How much did it fly like that?

Lily arrived in front of ‘a certain flame’.

“Wow…”

It was a more beautiful fire than any fire Lily had ever seen.

The flame flickered and spoke. That voice felt very familiar and comfortable.

[We finally met.]

“Who are you?”

The flames flickered and changed shape. It looked like a person. It was difficult to distinguish between genders, but the voice was closer to a woman’s.

[I am the last flame that could not be ignited within you.]

Lily’s face suddenly frowned.

“My uncle said that people who say difficult things in their first meeting are all scammers.”

For a moment, flames flickered wildly. But he didn’t seem angry.

Rather, it seemed as if his body was shaking as he was trying to hold back laughter.

[okay. I guess so. I said something too difficult.]

Flame reached out and stroked Lily’s head.

[I am your guardian angel.]

As soon as the warm touch of the flame touched me, the chill that had permeated my body disappeared at once. Lily looked up at the flame with a surprised expression.

“Guardian Angel?”

[okay. I am your guardian angel. Child of fire…]

The flame bent down and was at eye level with Lily.

Slurp….

The color of the flame was gradually turning black, but Lily did not notice it.

[From now on, listen carefully to what I say. Out there, the demon lord is fighting right now.]

“Are you the uncle?”

Lily opens her eyes wide in surprise. Flame stroked the girl’s head and calmed her down.

[okay. But the situation is very bad. If time passes like this… you might die.]

“No!!”

As if to show the girl’s anxious feelings, an enormous number of fireworks bloomed around her.

[Calm down. We can still stop it.]

The black flame said, stroking Lily’s head. Lily still didn’t notice the change.

“Where is your uncle? How do I get out of here? yes?”

Lily looked around with an anxious face.

It was a space filled with darkness. The girl was filled with fear at the thought that her uncle might die.

The black flame looked at that anxious figure.

[Do you want to get out of here? Do you want to go and help him?]

“Yes! Guardian angel sister! “Please get me out of here!”

Lily looked at her guardian angel with an earnest face.

At that moment, a thin solid line appeared at the mouth of the guardian angel.

[Then will you do as I tell you from now on?]

Although she was somewhat anxious, Lily nodded, thinking that she had to save her uncle.

“Yes…”

That was then. A new being intervened in their conversation.

[ha. It’s still the same. I really get cancer just by looking at it.]

When Lily and the black flame looked to the side at the same time, there was another form of flame standing there.

The flame crossed his arms and crossed his legs as if he were displeased. It looked quite bad.

“who are you?”

At Lily’s cautious question, the new flame (let’s call her White Flame for convenience) sighed.

[I am….eight. Even if I tell you, it’s obvious that you won’t understand. I don’t know. Just call me a guardian angel.]

“…I said this sister is also a guardian angel.”

Lily looked back at the black flame. The black flame was showing signs of displeasure at the appearance of the white flame.

But the white flame was proud.

[hey. Is there a law where there is only one guardian angel? Is there only one fried chicken? Isn’t the seasoning chicken?]

“That’s not true, but…”

This older sister had a bit of a scary personality, but every strange thing she said caught Lily’s ears.

[What on earth are you? There is no way there is a being like you in here.]

Black flames flickered and blocked the white flame.

White Flame snorted.

[You know what to do? why? Would you like me to seduce you like that kid? I’m not interested, so can you please turn it off?]

The black flame expanded its body and threatened the white flame.

Fuwaaaaaaa!

[go away. This child will be with me.]

The white flame also inflated its body accordingly. Its momentum was not at all inferior to that of the black flame.

[That’s terrible. Whose will it be?]

Soon, the two flames began to clash fiercely. Cheeeeeek! The black and white flames, burning fiercely as if they were going to eat each other, intertwined and created a whirlpool.

“Sisters. Wait!”

However, the confrontation between the flames became more and more fierce. A swirl of black and white flames rises up into the sky! It soared.

“Don’t fight! “I have to go help him quickly…”

It seemed like the flames were busy fighting and couldn’t hear Lily’s voice. Lily shouted as she entered the center of the vortex of flames.

“I told you not to do it-!!”

At that moment, the swirl of flames disappeared like a lie.

The two flames stood on either side of Lily and looked at the girl.

They said at the same time, holding out their hands to the girl.

[[Hold my hand. I’ll take you outside.]]

“…….”

Lily hesitated about which of the two hands to hold.

The black flame fluttered wildly and spoke.

[Oh my. You are someone who cannot be understood by people. In their eyes, you are a monster. Because it was created that way in the first place.]

“Uh…”

That was Lily’s fundamental fear and the darkness in her heart. The Black Flame understood that better than anyone else.

Black Flame reached out and stroked Lily’s head.

[I’m young now, so it’ll be okay. But the more you grow, the more you will be called a monster by everyone and become an object of fear.]

“I don’t like that…”

[It is an inevitable fate.]

The black flame looked at the crying girl’s face. He smiled softly.

[But I will stay by your side forever. Even if everyone abandons you, even if you abandon you… I will stay by your side.]

“Ah…”

Lily reached out her hand towards the black flame without realizing it.

slap.

What hit the back of that hand was a white flame.

[hey. Are you stupid?]

“…Yes?”

Lily craned her neck and looked up at the white flames.

This sister is somehow scary. But…

[Why worry about something that hasn’t happened yet? Are there people around you who are calling you a monster right now?]

“…….”

[No matter how many accidents you try. Do you think he will abandon you? The number of your reflections is only increasing, you idiot!]

“…….”

[Oh, this is frustrating! Don’t be anxious and scared alone. And stop doing this stupid thing. please. huh? Sister, I’ll ask you a favor.]

Amid the pouring assault on facts, Lily barely got out one word.

“…isn’t your sister an angel?”

[Only when it comes to small things like this are you quick to notice.]

At that moment, Lily felt like the white flame was giggling.

[hey. And take a good look at him.]

The white flame looked back at the black flame next to it. Lily followed his gaze and looked at the black flame.

Grumble!

Now I could feel it clearly. An ominous and evil energy emitted by black flames.

[…….]

The black flame knew that it had been defeated and fell silent. Little by little, his presence began to dissipate.

Tsutsutsutsu.

[Unknown being. This time you won. But…]

[When you’re done with what you want to say, go out.]

The white flame held out its middle finger toward the black flame. The middle finger made of flames was particularly swollen.

[…You know this isn’t the end.]

[What? Has it gone out yet?]

Tsk tsk…

With that, the black flame disappeared. Lily took White Flame’s hand.

“thanks sister.”

Together they walked through the darkness, looking for an exit.

The white flame quickly found the exit, as if it had been a road before.

[It just so happens to be calling from outside.]

ɥɚ ɝɲœ~λɮɟ- ʤɟɮæ Ħ=ŁØŧ ð æ ʤ ʧ……!

The voice of the Demon King was heard from far away in Asrai. In a world made of darkness, cracks appeared and exits began to open.

[Then go. That person will be waiting for you.]

The white flame saw Lily off in front of the exit.

Lily couldn’t easily let go of the white flame’s hand, as if she was missing something.

“however. “Who is your sister really?”

White Flame said with a grin.

[You will know everything when the time comes. Oh, and before I go, can I give you a piece of advice? I’m not usually good at things like this.]

“Yes!”

The white flame stretched out Lily’s plump cheeks. And he spoke in a serious voice that did not suit the situation.

[…The day will come when you have to save that person. So become stronger. Much more than now.]

“Uh… okay.”

Although she still couldn’t quite understand what was being said, the voice sounded somewhat sad, so Lily nodded eagerly.

[…Oh, and one more thing.]

The exit was more than half open. The white flame glanced at the scene beyond and said.

[You will be very scolded when you return.]

Lily’s face quickly turned into a tearful one.

“I’m in big trouble….”

[Can my sister tell me how to get scolded less?]

*

“Whoa….”

Daein looked around, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

“I killed a lot of people.”

The living great man made of corpses was standing above him.

Crumbling….

A devil was still breathing and writhing beneath the great man’s feet. The great man stepped on the man’s head and exploded it.

Kwasik!

The great man walked forward. Not far from him, Demon King Balaam was panting.

[[Kkkkkkk….]]

Balaam was looking miserable. The goat’s horns were cut off, its wings were torn off, and it was difficult to find a place on its body that was not punctured.

However, even in that state, the Demon King still did not die.

No, I killed it several times, but it continued to regenerate.

The great man grumbled as if he was fed up.

“I cut your throat three times, stabbed your heart five times, and smashed your head four times… I’m going to get really attached to you like this.”

The Heavenly Demon Goddess has been lifted. If you continue to use it, it will be hard on your body, and there is no need to use it now.

Now it was a battle of patience.

[[Kkkkkkk. Didn’t I tell you? You can’t beat me here…!]]

“For all that, you’ve been running away ever since?”

[[…….]]

Instead of answering, Balaam stepped back even faster.

‘bloke…! For now, enjoy the feeling of victory to the fullest!’

Balaam was waiting for a turnaround.

Soon, the strongest being among his clan will come here.

A girl who even the demon lord herself could not grasp her full potential. The flame was powerful enough to burn not only the body but also the soul.

‘It’s still unstable, but I’ve called several times, so it should come soon. If you wait just a little longer…!’

“You’ve been wasting your time since a while ago, right?”

Balaam flinched at the great man’s words. The great man frowned and aimed his Heavenly Demon Sword.

It was then.

Jiiiing!

A summoning magic circle appeared in the air above the Demon King’s head, and Lily came out of it.

[[Kkeuk hahaha…!!]

Balaam couldn’t hold back his laughter as he saw Lily. The enormous magical power pulsating from the girl’s body seemed to be stronger than before.

[[Khahahahaha! It’s finally here!!]]

On the other hand, Daein’s expression hardened when he saw Lily.

“…I wondered why you didn’t come out.”

Slurp.

The great man immediately put his Heavenly Demon Goddess back on.

“…….”

Lily looked down at the ground with her butterfly-shaped flame wings spread. I saw Daein looking very stiff and Balaam bursting into laughter.

The great man raised his Heavenly Demon Demonic Art to its full potential. His voice seemed more tense than when dealing with Balaam.

[kid. Are you ready to be scolded?]

On the other hand, the Demon King spread his arms and burst into laughter.

[[Come! My people! The worst disaster that will set the earth on fire! If you and I join forces, this world…!]]

The worst disaster that should burn the earth has fallen on the head of the Demon King.

Kwaaaaang!

[[Quek!!]]

Lily landed on Balaam’s back, which was on the floor.

Then he quickly got down on his knees and fell flat on his face.

“Wrong! Please forgive me just this once!”

Daein was momentarily speechless due to the sudden grave sin of Gypsum.

Slurp.

Daein took off his Heavenly Demon Goddess helmet and asked.

“…Are you out of your mind?”

“huh! “I got scolded by my guardian angel!”

“…….”

The person didn’t understand what the hell was going on, but he decided to believe that this little guy was like that in the first place.

“Well, let’s talk about the details later.”

Anyway, things changed with Lily’s arrival.

Unfortunately, it was the opposite of what Balaam had thought.

[[Kaaaaaaaa! Why are you…!]]

“Be quiet, you bastard!”

Lily hit the Demon King, who was sitting on his back, with her fists and set it on fire. Balaam, who had become a hot flame cushion, screamed that he was going to die.

[[Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

!? The girl raised her hands as she looked at the approaching man.

“Wrong! “I’m really reflecting on this!”

The great man narrowed his eyes and walked towards Lily.

“kid. “Do you think I’ll just get over this?”

Lily looked up at the great man with as pitiful an expression as possible. He put his hands close to his ears and made a noise.

“I wrote it wrong. “I won’t do that again…”

“Go show your cuteness somewhere else.”

“I will write 10 pages of reflection….”

“Hmm.”

“I’ll write 30 pages….”

“Barely?”

“Then how many pages did you write? 50 sheets?”

The great man fed chestnuts to Lily’s trembling forehead.

…Originally, I was going to write 200 pages.

“100 pages of reflection. And no chicken or late-night snacks for 100 days. And…”

Lily shouted, looking up at the great man with an expression of disbelief.

“Then I live only by being shy and eating garlic?!”

“I also read the Dangun myth again.”

Originally, I had planned to throw him down and spank him until he came to his senses, but since he came to his senses, I decided to skip that.

The great man pointed to Balaam under Lily’s buttocks and said.

“And let’s burn this. It’s definitely trash that can’t be recycled. “You can do it, right?”

“Then, 50 pages of reflection paper….”

“What? 200 pages?”

“You bastard!”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Lily added more firepower to the cushion she was sitting on.

[[Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!?]]
