A boy who was disowned because he was second in everything, is unknowingly unmatched


Volume 32

Chapter 1-A secret story


(TL:By Rafael,valhallatls.blogspot.com)




--the story of a hero who emerged from another world.

 Guided by God, there was no one who could complain about his achievements. However, when the light is strong, the shadow always deepens.

 At the same time, human beings are creatures that forget inconvenient memories.

 Only the victors are given the right to tell history, and the claims of the losers are silenced.





 There is nothing special about this.

 Nothing unusual.





 It is an event that happens everywhere.

 It was a proof that this is the history that humans have been connecting to each other for a long time.









The history of the demon tribe.










"The history of the demon tribe ...... was protected by the ducal family?"(Keane)

"Yes, it is. The dukes are the descendants of heroes and the bearers of truth in the war between man and demon. It is not a fairy tale to praise the exploits of the heroes, but to connect the memories of the blood that flowed behind the heroes."(Escalite)





 Escalité speaks in a matter-of-fact tone.

 Keane gulped at how mature the girl looked, but immediately shook her head from side to side. He then calmly asks her a question.





'...... but how come  Cleo-san didn't know...........?'(Keane)





 He did not mention such a story in the slightest.

 On the contrary, he did not even know that he himself was a descendant of a hero.

 However much people may have forgotten about it, he still had duties and responsibilities as an heir. It was disconcerting that his father, Dan, had not mentioned this to him.



 If so, where on earth did this information come from?

 As the young man pondered this, Escalite took one deep breath. After confirming the girl's gesture, Keane asked her as if he had made up his mind.





"Escalate. I was wondering if you might be..."(Keane)





 The unnaturalness that he had sensed before.

 Perhaps it was because they were not  related that he was able to perceive something strange.






" be really a demon, ......?"(Keane)







 At these words, Escalate stopped breathing for a moment.

 Keane's prediction was exactly the same conclusion as Liliana's. And that prediction was unmistakably true.

 But where on earth did he realize this?

 It was a big question for the demons lurking in Escalite.





"Why, how did you know, ......?"(Escalite)





 Like Liliana, he did not know his former self. And like her, he also did not know the girl Escalite, who had been gradually transformed.

 If this is the case, what did the young man, a complete outsider, come to this conclusion?



 Why was she exposed?

 When Escalete let out a squeak and raised her eyebrows, Keane said, 





'No, I only thought that just now."(Keane)

'Eh.....?'(Escalite)





 That is too light a reasoning.

 Keane responds to the girl's unintentional exclamation with...





"Because you're so..."(Keane)

Gently, he stroked her hair.

 In a somewhat worried tone of voice, he told her, 









"You look very sad. ......"(Keane)




(TL:Some next level simping going on here.)




 There was no evidence or proof.

 What Keane showed was merely his sense of her subtlety. Nevertheless, this young man was able to say the truth.

 And on top of that, he is concerned about the demon  that wears the skin of a girl.

 It was such a tone of voice as if some boy's good-naturedness had been transferred.





'...... Stupid, Have elves ever been so stupid?"(Escalite)





 In response, the  voice of demoness within Escalite trembled.

  


 The demoness inside Escalite approached him, believing that Keane, an existence different from that of humans, would be easier to control. And yet, before he knew it, he was completely inside her own heart.

 Could there be anything more ridiculous than this?





"If you are okay with me, why don't you tell me what circumstances made you do so......?"(Keane)

".................."(Escalite)





 Sitting side by side on the bed, Keane spoke to the demoness.

 Why are you getting inside the girl Escalite? He asked her why she had infiltrated the duke's household.

 He was very gentle.

 The young man asked her that, as if he was trying to help her through her hardships. Then, she answered 





"Oh, let's talk about it,. But first..."(Escalite)

"Eh?"(Keane)





 The demoness spoke in a small voice and then the demoness  gently leaned on Keane's shoulder. And then she said.







"I'm sorry ....... Can we stay like this for a little bit?"(Escalite)







 As if to make up for the "loneliness" of the past.

 Keane did not reply to the voice that sounded like it was about to cry, but simply patted her gently on the head.







 This was a secret time just for the two of them.

 This was the moment when a bond was born between two different races.


TL Note- Simp Keane awakens and tsundere demoness falls for that simp. Me waiting for chad mc, everyone ignored og Escalite lol.

  1. Ah, i see. It appears the author pulled a bait and switch. I commented several chapters ago that the demons in this story seemed more traditionally evil as opposed to the common light novel trope nowadays that makes demons just another race with the same virtues and failings as humans.

    But it appears the author merely wanted us to have that impression as part of this bait and switch, and the demons do seem to be more of just another race as opposed to a species of unholy humanoid monsters.
