Chapter 53 Intermission Isis Remnant ( 2 ) ~ The Being that She had been Waiting For ~ (2/2)
Isis had no intention of blaming the young man for his reaction, as she tried to gently back away from him to not scare him further.

——-The scene that happened after that though isn’t something that Isis knows of. It’s something that she hadn’t expected.
A dry sound resounded in the silence, and the hand that was about to pull away stopped.
[……!? (What is…… he doing?)]
Before Isis’s eyes, the young man suddenly slapped his cheeks with both of his hands, and after closing his eyes once…… His eyes with strong will turned towards her.
Those eyes aren’t those of the weak who are frightened of her, but they aren’t those of the strong who have the strength to oppose her like the other members of the Six Kings.
They are the eyes of a challenger who is frightened and intimidated, but is ready to face the challenges on his path.
Isis was sure of it. The young man in front of her is trying to challenge himself. Even with his weak body and meager magic power…… Even as he doesn’t have an ounce of strength to oppose Isis, and yet, he’s still trying to challenge her magic power of death head-on……
Her heart began to greatly tremble, and that feeling that should have disappeared long ago…… The feeling of hope began to rise up from the depths of her heart.
It’s impossible. There’s no way he can do it.
Despite the way her heart felt, she couldn’t drop the hand she held out. No, she strongly felt that she shouldn’t put it down.

As if in response to the small wish Isis faintly held deep in Isis’s heart, the young man trembled and slowly…… he’s really slow in his advance, but his hand certainly started to move a little bit closer.
Clenching his teeth so hard that it was bleeding, like he was enduring his fear…… He’s desperately trying to respond to Isis’s wish.
If she were to describe it, it’s a miracle that could only happen at this moment of time.
If Isis didn’t like the book she read, she wouldn’t have walked out of her castle today.
If she hadn’t seen Kuromueina’s magic, if she hadn’t encountered the subjugation team and felt displeased, she wouldn’t have come to visit the royal capital.
If she hadn’t mistaken the young man for a Hero, she wouldn’t have called out to him.
And if the young man—– Miyama Kaito, hadn’t met Kuromueina, he wouldn’t have tried to challenge himself.
All of these varying factors meshed with each other like a miracle, and as a result—– this moment came.
After a really, really long time, Kaito’s hand finally reaches Isis.
The wish that she had been hoping for thousands of years, and had almost give up on getting it.

She, who had been despairing about why she was born with this kind of power and for what reason she was born for.
She, who shed tears to the point that she couldn’t shed tears anymore, lamenting the changes around her…… And yet, all the while, she continued to wait for such an existence in the depths of her heart.
Even if he didn’t have the strength to resist her magic power of death, he still faced and overcame it, the being who could hold her hand……
[……My name is Miyama Kaito. It’s nice to meet you. Isis-san.]
[…….!?!?!?]
Directed towards her, the words were spoken with his gentle voice and the warm smile he had…… melted the ice that had enveloped Isis’s heart.
And at that moment, Isis was strongly… really strongly convinced.
That she was born to meet this young man—- to meet Kaito……
“How unusual. Isis, I never expected that you would visit me……]
[……Lillywood…… What do you think…… would be a good souvenir?]

“A souvenir huh? Are you going to bring it to visit someone?”
[……Unnn…… I found…… a friend.]
Lillywood looked slightly surprised about the fact that she would receive a visit from Isis, who doesn’t often leave her castle, but her surprise became greater when she heard the reason for her visit.
“You found a friend huh, is it a high-ranking demon? Or perhaps, a high-ranking God?”
[……No…… a human.]
“……What?”
[……Like I said…… a human.]
“Eh? T- That is…… Is there someone among the Humans who holds that much power?”
Hearing the word human that Isis told her, Lillywood asked, looking unusually distraught.
However, the asked Isis just looked at her in puzzlement as she tilted her head in wonder.

[……Kaito…… isn’t strong though?]
“……Hmm?”
[……Compared to their knights…… he was much weaker…… he also had small magic power……]
“And yet, this human had become your friend?”
[……Unnn…… Kaito…… he held…… my hand…… and he said that…… I could visit anytime I want…… with a smile on his face.]
“……Is that human actually a monster……”
Hearing the words that Isis happily said while her cheeks were blushing red, Lillywood looked stunned, as if she heard something unbelievable.
At least, Lillywood couldn’t believe that a mere human could resist Isis’s magic power of death.
[……Kaito…… said he’s an otherworlder…… but he’s not a Hero.]
“An otherworlder? If his name is Kaito, is he male?”

[……Unnn…… He was kind…… and cool.]
“……That’s strange. I’ve heard from my followers that attended the evening party in the Symphonia Kingdom before that there was an accident in the summoning of Hero this time…… But I’m told that the otherworlders who attended that evening party were that man who held the role of Hero and two women though?”
Since Lillywood has many followers around the world, one of them had attended the New Year’s party held in the Symphonia Kingdom, and she had heard about the accident regarding the summoning of the Hero.
However, she doesn’t remember hearing about the existence that matches with the person that Isis talked about.

[……Why…… didn’t Kaito…… participate there?]
“I don’t know, but it’s certainly hard to imagine him having something else to do around that time. At that point in time, it had only been four days since they came to this world…… In that case, it’s possible that he’s being unfairly treated by the country……”
[……………]
“Ah, no, it’s just a possibility, okay? It’s just one of the plausible reasons.”
[……I see.]
Seeing the obvious change in the atmosphere around Isis, Lillywood hurriedly told her that it’s just her guess.

“……Ummm, it’s just hypothetically speaking, okay? But what if, hypothetically, this Kaito-san had been unfairly treated?”
[……Whoever did that…… I’m going to kill them all.]
“……N- No, let’s calm down, okay? You look like you’re going to destroy the country……”
[……Any country that torments Kaito…… should be destroyed.]
“……………….”
Lillywood was convinced. If that really was the case, Isis would seriously kill all those culprits, even if it meant destroying the Symphonia Kingdom……
Wrily smiling upon the words that Isis said with a straight face, Lillywood hurriedly sent a transmission to her subordinates with her magic power and ordered them to investigate this matter as soon as possible.
“H- However, look, if you do that, won’t that kind Kaito-san that you mentioned be sad?”
[……Ugghh…… If Kaito will be sad…… I won’t destroy them…… I will just leave them half-dead.]
“…… (For that Isis to obediently pull back…… Seriously, what kind of person is this Kaito-san?)”

Isis’s reaction, which is unthinkably honest compared to back then, surprised Lillywood again, and she decided to talk with Isis about the first topic of their conversation, a souvenir.
At first, Lillywood was skeptical about the existence of this unknown human, but when she saw Isis looking really happy as she talked about Kaito, she also naturally smiled.

“…… (A person that Isis gets so much into. I’m a little curious. Come to think of it, the festival of the elves will soon be held in the Symphonia Kingdom…… Fumu, that should be a good opportunity for me, I’ll go visit them at that time.)”
[……Lillywood…… Are you listening to me?]
“Eh, yes. It’s your first visit there, so I think it would be better if you bring something consumable. Since he’s someone from another world, I think food from this world might be good.”
[……I see…… Lillywood…… Can I have some…… fruit from the World Tree……]
“I don’t mind, but could it be that you’re planning to bring that?”
[……Is that no good?]
“I’m not saying that it’s no good, but it might frighten them away if you suddenly bring something too expensive.”
Lillywood, who could be said to be extremely sensible among the Six Kings who held each of their own unique personalities, let out a sigh after hearing Isis’s words, but still didn’t complain and went along with her choice of souvenir.

It’s something she hasn’t seen for a long time now, and seeing the heartfelt smile he brought out from Isis’s lips…… She’s feeling heartfelt gratitude to Kaito for melting the ice in the Death King’s heart……
=====================================================================
The Death King’s Intermission Chapter has become awfully long.
I don’t know if it’s because yanderes have high heroine power as expected or something like that……
