88 – Disaster (16)

Druck.

I opened the window and removed the shards of glass in front of my eyes.

A piece of glass brought closer to the sunlight and wind into the room.

A glass bird flew in and landed on Wiz’s hand, tilting his head as he bit the letter.

“Quickly…Give me…”

Wiz received the letter with trembling hands and opened it.

One sentence and one name were written in the same concise style as before.

《The hero is in the hands of the devil. -Prophet”

Anxiety became a text and came to reality.

Actually, I am still a dream, and I wonder if I am wandering in it.

Thinking about that, I averted my eyes from the troublesome reality.

“Whoa…”

When I lifted it, the weight of the heavy sword was vivid in my hand.

“Water… I want to drink…”

This time, instead of taking enemies, I’m going to plunder.

With that thought, Wiz put on the hood.

**

“I was chased.”

Just as Wiz woke up, Stella also opened her eyes with the sun tickling her eyes.

She spoke solemnly with an impressive wake-up phrase. The feel of her chains tight against her chest and arms was palpable.

“…That is the conclusion I have come to after careful consideration.”

“I see. You must be thirsty. Drink some water.”

Eva dismissed the magnificence lightly, and icy water dripped onto her head.

“Whoa! Whoa!”

“Oh, that looks cool. Do you like it?”

“Ice! Minus the ice…”

“Yes. Is it good? I like it too.”

She didn’t take the ice off, so she dropped it along with the water, but she ignored it because it didn’t matter to him that she didn’t care.

Immediately after waking up, she was bathed in cold water, which she hadn’t even had before, so even the light sleep energy that had remained in Stella ran away.

Ice from between the collars at the back of her neck ran down her spine, making it very cold and creepy.

“Are you awake?”

And now.

“I can’t wake up no matter how cold water I pour into it.”

In another way, I got goosebumps.

The boy in front of me literally scattered evil energy like a demon. Stella swallowed her dry saliva at her breathless pace.

“My disciple, go there.”

“Welcome Master.”

Eva bowed her head politely, paying attention to the voice behind her, and Lillia lightly raised her hand to accept the greeting.

“Yes, I am. I am late to explain to my mother why I have left your room at night.”

“Just to be honest, what would have happened. Isn’t it common sense to kiss between friends?”

“That common sense is limited to young people, so my mother doesn’t know much about it.”

“Aha… In other words, my mother is an old man…?”

“Please shut up.”

Clothed in the radiance of the sun, she was more beautiful than I had barely glimpsed in the shadows of the night.

Her long, shiny hair down to her waist, and her skin, which looked soft like petals, was white and clean. Above all, the eyes, colorful eyes that seemed to be made by dropping various dyes into water were mysterious.

She didn’t know it in the middle of the night, but being this close Stella could remember her name.

“The Flower Witch…?”

Lilia, the Flower Witch.

Six witches, one of those with the seat of the lily.

The youngest woman to reach the top of the witches.

Why is such a woman with that devil? She even guessed that she would be very close, judging from the titles of master and disciple.

“Yes, the flower witch. Are you a candidate for the hero over there?”

“You really are a flower witch!”

“What, what is…”

Stella moved her body toward Lillia, displaying a bright color.

Caught in her chain, it only tilted a little, but the click, the sound of that metal revealed itself greatly compared to the action of her body.

“I love your magic!”

Her love of flower witches was so famous that everyone around her knew about it.

It must have been the first time I met her when I read her writings in the newspaper when she was young, and later, when she became a little more famous, all I saw was her pictures.

She had a strangely high liking and interest in her flower witch.

“That, and! I like the novels you wrote too!”

“Quaaagh! That’s still on the market?!”

“Did you also write a novel, Master?”

“Noisy! At one point, I touched you to imitate Master! Why do you know that!”

As if attracted by a magnet, she wanted to follow her tracks and traces.

Although she was trained to become a candidate for a hero and received training on various missions, she hadn’t met her directly, but she had a goodwill for a long time.

Even now that she was in front of her eyes, her mind did not change, and her mind was dominated by a kind of excitement and a sense of excitement that she had just met her fateful partner.

“I…”

A spark danced in her heart, and her heart rang.

And gradually the flame.

“Why did I… Like you?”

I heard that it faded away.

It went cold as if ice water had been poured over her campfire.

“How can I know that…”

“It was a crazy b*tch… I’m asking just in case, is there a mental illness category in the screening of candidates for heroes?”

“Then you’ll pass. You too try to be a candidate for the hero.”

“Hey. Master, it’s hard because I’m only half crazy.”

The scenery I saw last night lingered in my head, and my gaze, which had been fixed on Lilia until earlier, moved back to the boy.

Her gray hair flew like the ashes of the love she had nurtured.

It’s strange.

It’s definitely a look that’s one’s preference. You can recite words of love at length right now. But I don’t feel like it at all.

Is it because of that boy?

Yes, it must be because of that boy.

What is that boy doing that bothers me so much?

‘It could be a demon that affects me mentally.’

That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that possibility until now?

All this bland feeling I’m feeling right now could be the result of fascination. It must be because that boy broke through his mind and proudly raised a flag called himself on the mountain called the heart.

Yeah, I guess I’m just possessed by a demon.

If it wasn’t for that, the interest I’ve developed so far wouldn’t be reduced to ashes overnight, and I wouldn’t be able to focus all of my body’s senses on that boy right now.

This was certainly a reasonable idea from an objective point of view, but for Stella, it was more of a passionate refuge than reason.

Struggling to avert one’s eyes from fate.

It was the first time I felt this way. After meeting him, she feels many things for the first time. It was not a very pleasant experience.

Have you forgotten how to look at the stars when the sun rises?

The anticipation of being able to meet him last night disappeared as one unknown enemy.

So she became sensitive like someone waking up from a sweet dream.

She wakes up from a dream. Paradoxically, she was blinded in her dreams.

Iva and Lilia were embarrassed when they saw Stella suddenly depressed after scattering bright energy. This feeling was especially strong for Eva.

“What is…”

It wasn’t enough that my sleep was disturbed, and I let out a sigh of relief as the person in question was displaying an impressive delirium in front of me. After all, is madness necessary to do great things?

It’s the most romantic thing for an ordinary person to become a hero.

Why does the cathedral put forward those who excelled in various fields as candidates for the hero? It should be special in the aspect of ability, so why not excel in the aspect of the mental world?

Unpleasant feeling that occurs gently.

As if I woke up after sleeping next to a corpse, the discomfort of bugs and humidity ran up my back.

“Find yourself later. So. Why are you back?”

“Yes, I guess.”

Stella, who had glanced at Lilia once, putting her kindness aside, smiled softly at Iva and spoke softly.

“I’m sorry I broke the peace agreement, but I’m a bit concerned.”

“What is it?”

“The Prophet’s letter has arrived.”

The reactions of Lilia and Iba upon hearing this were contrasted.

What is that? Unlike Lilia who frowned with that expression on her face, Iva had a hard expression as if she had heard something shocking.

Looking at this, Stella was convinced that he too had the knowledge of the Prophet. The name he didn’t even know why he knew.

The name he knows.

Also, he has something to do with himself.

Stella was so sure. It felt like a star that had been dimmed until earlier had risen again.

“What the heck is that?”

-Wow!!!

Before Lillia could finish her question, the alarm went off. Eva, who was alert, could hear the distant sound of a sword cutting through the air.

“…Looks like your friend is here.”

“Oh, the other candidate for the hero?”

“I guess so. Shall I go?”

“No, I’ll deal with you. I don’t trust you.”

“That’s too much.”

Iva rubbed her sleepy eyes and waved her hand at Lilia. She chuckled and grabbed the broom and quickly blew her body away.

After shaking her hand until she was out of sight, Eva returned her gaze to Stella.

“What did the Prophet send?”

“If Wiz and I don’t want to break up… Fight with you.”

Eva smiled.

“Why don’t Greek myths or prophets always explain prophecies with a storyline? You keep talking about stories only people know. Don’t you think that’s a really bad way to communicate?”

“Greek…? Sorry, a word shared only by demons?”

“Don’t you know? I thought I knew… It’s strange.”

Iva roamed around Stella with unsteady steps.

She was sure she would sleep well last night, so she was relaxing. Since then, she has not been tensed again and has been in a very tired state until now.

She was walking to wake up, but it seemed like a conscious step. A demon escaping from Suma. In that respect, she was also right. Rituals to maintain consciousness. There was no conscious action, but it was bustling and the consciousness was ferocious.

“The flower fields here are pretty. You didn’t just come for a walk? Did you enjoy the night walk?”

“Then it was fun. The thought of meeting you made my heart race.”

“Crazy for killing… Did you expect to kill this poor fellow?”

“I don’t mean that.”

“hahahaha, anyway, the weather is good for a walk today. But…”

Iva stopped walking and picked up the red spear that had fallen on the ground. It was the holy spear that Stella had been carrying.

I swung it around a few times. It was the movement of a person accustomed to spears. Stella got the feeling that her own spearmanship was similar even in that little movement. Iva pointed her spear at her, which was just right in her hand.

“There was no possibility of going for a walk that day.”

“?”

Stella tilted her head at this, as his words sounded more familiar than the situation in which the spear was pointed at her.

“Do you know what the first sentence of the book is?”

“Is there a first sentence like that? hahahaha Sorry, I don’t read a lot.”

“You really don’t know? Jane Eyre. Don’t you know what it is?”

“Jane… Air?”

“Wow, I really don’t know.”

Hee hee, Eva smiled and asked the question again, carrying her spear on her shoulder as usual.

“So, what was the first sentence of the Martian I said earlier? That’s what I said right after waking up… Oops, it’s my head. I’m sorry.”

If I don’t sleep for a long time, I get a headache. The extreme fatigue, the tiredness that didn’t go away even after dying, ate away at him and even affected his conversation.

He grabbed his head and pointed the spear he had slung over his shoulder toward the ground. Soon I fixed it to a state close to me.

“I’m really sorry. I’m going to wake up for a bit.”

Suddenly.

The sad sound of the blade cut through my flesh.

Eva cut his own throat with a spear.

It was a bit intense, but the pain was also intense and it was good to wake up. It must have been a temporary phenomenon anyway, but it was perfect for continuing the conversation.

Chack! The blood that spurted out like an active volcano soaked Stella’s face lukewarmly. But to Stella, it really felt as hot as lava.

The blood hurt, like flames running down his cheeks.

It’s because of being possessed by the devil. It’s because of being possessed. Thinking so, Stella pretended not to see the pain welling up deep in her heart.

“What, what are you doing!”

“To get some sleep. I wouldn’t have been so violent if you hadn’t interrupted me. It’s your fault. It’s your fault. It’s all your fault.”

The wound quickly healed. Even so, her heart, which once started beating, showed no signs of slowing down easily. Her surprise did not subside even when her blood flowed from him.

“So, are you here to fight me? Your weapon is this spear?”

Stella shook her head at his first question and nodded at his second question.

I wanted to spit it out, but it felt like my heart would spit out from my mouth if I opened my mouth easily, so I couldn’t. Even now, her gaze was on the site of her healed neck.

“Why, why did you suddenly cut your neck…”

“Tell me my name.”

Iva thoroughly ignored Stella’s attitude.

“Shiva.”

“Don’t you think of that name?”

“Not much except that it’s unusual for a name to be cursed…”

“Hmm.”

Grasping her chin, Eva lowered her spear to the ground, quietly examining Stella. No other sound came from the lightly lowered window.

-Quaang!

In contrast, the sound of an explosion came from afar. Perhaps Lilia again offended the hero candidate by making fun of her mouth.

“Oh, they seem to be fighting over there.”

Her Stella’s Her Back Eva went behind her and squatted down on her, then put her hand on the chains that were binding her.

A few times before he could hear the clanking of iron, Stella felt her breathing gradually ease.

“Ah, do you want me to meet and talk with Wiz myself?”

“No.”

Her chain fell to the ground, and Stella took the heavy feel again.

It was Eva who held her spear to her.

“I have a question. I want to check it out…”

Eva stood up with a cheer and reached out her hand to Stella. Stella hesitated a little, then stood up holding her hand. In terms of the strength she raised and the strength of her grip, she was not inferior to herself, at least physically.

“Let’s fight too.”

Like an innocent child, he smiled to match his appearance and delivered his words calmly.

“Why me?”

“As if you were a candidate for a hero.”

Eva took a few steps back and answered.

“Because I’m a candidate for the Demon King.”

Hearing that, Stella’s expression hardened like ice. Stella, who quickly regained her smile, raised her spear and stood still. Her right foot forward and her left foot back, her body low and the point of her spear pointed at her opponent.

She can shoot a spear at any time.

“I hope it’s not a lie. It’s a caution not to kill needlessly.”

“It’s okay. You can’t kill me.”

Ugh. Their spears vibrated violently with waves, and their ground caved in.

Within. A strong impact was also heard from this place.
