On the third day, the third episode will be updated.

If you haven't seen the previous episode, let's start there.

 

This time, the first half is from Ulua's point of view.

From the second half, we will send it from the perspective of Mr./Ms., a dark magic thread user.

___________________

Liz, who went to the forest outside the city, does not return.

Liz, who usually came home a little late at night, was relieved to finally be back, but for a moment, her clothes were covered in dust and her stomach was dirty as if she had been hit by something.

Particularly eye-catching was his right arm, which was wrapped in long sleeves, and had blood on the plaque.

Liz seemed to have something going on, and Elisha and I naturally started questioning her.

 

"Sister! Where the hell were you going?!"

"I slept in the woods."

"You can't sleep and get so battered, right?!"

"My clothes are tattered, but my body is intact.

 

When I wiped the sleeve of my right arm, which was stained with blood, I was sure that there was not a single scratch.

But that's not what I'm trying to say.

I know very well how this blood is attached.

 

"Liz, you used lineage enhancement, didn't you?"

 

This child's lineage enhancement is incomplete.

Not only does it distort Liz's growth, but it also greatly hurts the child herself.

 

"I don't use it."

"You used it."

「…… I don't use it."

"Stupid disciple?"

"Hehehe...... I don't know."

 

This guy! - She usually confesses just by pulling her cheek, but this time she is showing a mysterious strength of will!

Liz is teary-eyed and still doesn't confess, and Elisha and I are astonished.

When it comes to hiding from us, it's usually only when we've done something we want to be sorry for.

Liz encounters an enemy so powerful that she uses a lineage buff...... Let's leave that aside for now.

 

"If this kid is definitely using lineage strengthening, it doesn't mean that it's being treated cleanly ......."

「…… Ahh

 

Perhaps the same person crossed my mind for Elisha and me.

I can only think of one skilled healing wizard who can completely heal serious injuries in a short time due to system strengthening.

As proof of this, Liz also put her hand to her mouth and turned pale.

 

"Stupid disciple? Where did you go with Usato?"

"No, I can't say...... I promised not to tell anyone what happened that night."

 

…… Is it safe to assume that Usato made him promise to be so stubborn?

But I can't figure it out.

Why is Liz acting with Usato?

If you asked Liz to cooperate without telling us anything, and you were taking advantage of it, we would respond accordingly, but .......

 

"Well, I know it's a secret, so let me tell you this. …… Usato's request for help, and you were with him?"

"No, it's not."

「…… What's the difference?"

 

Does that mean you haven't been asked to cooperate? Or is it that they are not acting together?

When I ask deeply about the short answers that can be taken either way, Liz answers.

 

"It was a coincidence that we met, and when I was cooling off in the woods, I spotted a scent that resembled Usato, and I chased it."

「…… Did you chase them?"

"Yes, and there was Usato."

「…… Now what?"

"I forced myself to follow him."

「……」

 

Then it's this side that's bad!

Rather, it's Liz's fault for forcing herself to keep up, isn't it?

 

"Did Usato get on board?"

"I felt like I couldn't help it."

 

- This child who has not been rude enough to apologize directly from here, let alone respond appropriately!

As I involuntarily held my head in Liz's hands, Elisha, who was twitching his mouth next to me, gave me a huffy look.

 

"Teacher"

"Hmm? What's going on? Elisha"

"Actually, it'——— this morning."

 

Elisha said that during the early morning training today, Usat and the brave Inukami were asked by Naia, the first princess of Kamherio.

From the way he looked, he didn't go into it too much because it wasn't normal, but it just didn't seem to happen.

 

"It looks like he had a purpose for coming here...... too."

"That's where your sister happened to be there."

 

Oh my God.

I didn't know that he had caused me as much trouble as I could, and that he had a healing spell cast on me and sent me home.

 

"You didn't do anything wrong, did you?"

"Yes, I guarantee that."

"Are you okay then......

 

Liz has some gaps, but she's not stupid.

With his exceptional sense of smell and intuition, there is no one who comes out on the right when it comes to discerning the good and bad of people.

Leaving aside the fact that there was a fight, I'm relieved that Liz wasn't complicit in anything wrong.

 

"Also, I've heard from Usato."

"Hmm? What do you want?"

 

I couldn't be more surprised at what I've come.

With that in mind, I sipped the water I had put in a cup to quench my thirst and waited for Liz's next words.

 

"You know my father."

"Whew."

"Mr./Ms.'s father!?"

 

The water in the mouth flows back.

Why does Usato talk about Liz's father?

Of course, I know about Liz's origins, but she is a beastman who was swept away from the land of beastmen and ended up in the realm of humans.

Because of such a special origin, it is impossible to find even a mother, let alone a father.

 

"What? Your father is a beastman, isn't he? Your name is Jinya!?"

"Yes, I heard that my father was the previous chief of the Beastman Tribe."

 

Mmmm!? You've slapped me with ridiculous information!

 

"How does Usato know about your father......?"

"Oh my God, that person, it seems that he was a bad person who tried to instigate a conflict with humans with the demon tribe a while ago, and was stopped by Usato and the current chieftain."

"Haven't you heard about a ridiculous incident!?"

 

Cooperate with the Demon Clan, which means that it was a time when you were at war with the Demon King's army, right?

Was it when the Kingdom of Lingle sent the hero and him on a journey to deliver letters? Judging from Usato's information, his journey was to Samarian and Miarak...... No, Miarak is adjacent to the Beastman Country, so did you go there at that time?

…… What for? Seriously, I don't understand the meaning.

 

"What, what kind of relationship does he have with the Beastman Tribe? It's obviously out of the ordinary, isn't it?"

"Usato is friends with the current chieftain."

"Tomodachi ......?"

 

It's not strange because he doesn't have any discrimination against subhumans at all.

In fact, there were rumors that he was with a blonde beastman girl.

But the chief of the beastmen? It's synonymous with the lord of a country, right? And what does it mean to be a friend?

 

"He said he would send me a letter if I wanted."

"Does your sister want to see Mr./Ms. your father?"

"Hmm? He seemed like a bad person, and I didn't particularly want to see him. But I just wanted to ask him what kind of person he was."

 

Liz's reaction was blunt.

Secretly watching Elisha stroke her breasts, Liz continues.

 

"I was told I could talk about this, so it's okay."

"Did Usato say that?"

"Yes."

 

I'm really sorry.

But I'm curious.

What was he doing when he got out of the city so late at night?

The quickest way to do this is to bombard Liz with questions and make her accidentally mention it...... If you let it go that far, you really feel sorry for Liz.

 

"It's really surprising."

 

Strangely enough, he ends up in the same state of mind as the scholars of the Ringle Kingdom that Nair was talking about.

If this is the daily life of the Ringle Kingdom...... yes, I get goosebumps just imagining it.

 

●

 

Not long ago, I was a corpse, but now I am acting as a subordinate of a strange woman named Sia Gamio.

Normally, I would have felt uncomfortable with the fact that I was with this woman, as I didn't like the idea of being under someone while I was alive, but for some reason I didn't feel that way.

There is no hierarchy or anything like that, but I thought it was probably because I was going crazy more than that.

 

My sister's corpse had no will.

 

Unlike me, the silent corpse in the shape of my sister stood in front of me, as if to say that she was satisfied with her final moments.

They killed each other so much.

I told you to stop me from going back.

And yet, Ionly・・He has awakened as a corpse with a will in this future era.

I was outraged by that fact.

I even had murderous intentions, but the sister was a corpse without a will and did not even say a word, and the residual thoughts that stuck to my body halfway tried to stop me.

The sight of my sister made me feel angry and lonely again.

 

- That's why I'm crazy.

 

All the time, my murderous intent, my anger, my sadness, and my love are directed at my sister.

I'm so absorbed in it that I can't focus on anything else.

I think that's me, the dark wizard Esta who has lost half of his body.

 

"Hey, Esta."

「…… What?"

 

After making contact with the healing wizards, we moved to an inn that was a temporary base in Calmherio.

It's a cheap inn on the edge of the city, but it's better than the environment I was in when I was alive, so I have no complaints.

 

"No, he seems to be lost in thought, so I wonder what's the matter."

"No, I was just remembering a little bit of the past, did you move the Owl?"

"yes, yes, he's pretty funny, so I decided not to tie up my ego except in battle. After all, I'm only surrounded by a bat-tempered badass, an unfriendly dark wizard, and another dark wizard that I love."

"It was unfriendly and bad."

 

He sighs at Shea, who shrugs his shoulders.

 

"So, are you okay?"

"Hmm? What?"

"It looks like you've returned the stolen armor?"

 

Isn't it a little different to say that I returned it?

I guess I just lent it to be trusted.

I was a little curious and asked, and Shea was visibly depressed.

 

"I'm sure it's not going to be okay at all......

"Aren't you okay?"

"But I had no choice but to do that. But there is absolutely no one who can fight like him...... Sigh."

 

…… It's really unexpected.

 

"My guess is that they were going to fight each other in a good way! But if you look at the results, that's it! Also, it uses technology that doesn't make sense, and it's too crazy to deal with multiple attribute magic with only magic manipulation and system enhancement outbursts!?"

"It seems that there was another dark wizard as well."

 

He used to be a dark wizard kid who flew in the sky.

So, this time, although we haven't seen it, is Usato's body armored? Clothes? The dark wizard who was covering like that.

He understands that dark wizards are treated badly even in this day and age, but he doesn't seem to fit that common sense at all.

 

"And isn't it weird that two heroes come with you like a bonus?! I was waiting for Ferm and Nea on the assumption that they would assimilate with Usato, but why was the hero of the Nesha Kingdom there in the first place? It really doesn't make sense!!"

"Calm down."

 

This guy was also in a good mood before the ambush, but when it's over, it's like this.

 

"You should have cleaned up that demon without negotiating in the first place."

"I can't do it now, no matter how much light magic I can use, I can't handle it completely, and above all, my opponent has destroyed several countries, and on top of that, Hisago...... He's the worst demon who blew a bubble on the previous hero, right?"

「…… The worst of demons? Is he that dangerous?"

 

It's a bit unusual for this guy to say this to the devil.

I still don't know who this guy is and I'm not interested, but I think it's more so because I have the impression that he basically looks down on the devil.

 

"The Tragedy of Samaria, a king and a sorcerer who sacrificed hundreds of innocent people who were harmed by the plague of the Evil Dragon...... He was the one who instigated it. Well, I'm also a coward who just instigated and ran away on my own."

"Hmmm."

 

There have been some crazy guys in the past.

The king and the sorcerer are human beings, but they are not outrageous people.

 

"He's a demon that I want to get rid of, but he's too cautious to show up even with his clanmates."

 

But he was definitely trying to do something with Calmhelio.

It's troublesome, but if you know what it looks like, you can chop it up with my magic.

 

"By the way, Usato is not irrelevant."

"Well, has he been alive for hundreds of years?" It's finally a monster."

"Haha, no, no, no, it's the curse of the sorcerer in Samaria of this era...... It was Usat who destroyed the magic. A curse placed by a sorcerer saved a princess who was short-lived."

 

The more I dig, the more weird stories come out.

I'm really glad I wasn't there. My sister, who was a no-weather person during her lifetime, is inspired and strange things are about to happen.

 

"Then you should have told him, shouldn't you? I think it motivated me more."

"Well, I don't think it's necessary."

"Why?"

 

I think if I had talked about it, I would have been more supportive.

When she asks, Shea twitches the corner of her mouth and smiles differently than before.

 

"Because it's a demon I've always wanted to get rid of, and if I tell Usato, I can't kill him, right?"

 

…… Ah, I see.

 

"It's not just him who has a connection."

"That's what I mean."

 

I knew they were up to something, but I was really looking for help.

I was wondering what he wanted to do because he was making his acquaintance Owl angry by fighting him at first, but it seems that he was simply detouring.

 

"Well, anyway, I'm glad he was here this time, because he's got a mentality that makes him seem invincible to the devil."

"But when I saw it this time, I thought, even if you form a partnership, it doesn't mean that he will do what you want, right?"

「……」

"Don't be silent, will you?"

 

Well, from my point of view, having been with him for a short time in the ruins, I don't think he would ever act the way Sia wanted.

Understanding this, I was at a loss for words, and I didn't say anything more to Shea, who was in a cold sweat.

As for the setting of the demon lurking in Calmherio, it's kind of like a remnant of Eva's connection that was supposed to appear in this chapter.

That's all for this update.

Thank you for reading this far.
