21. roo. (2)

The future, the past before regression.

Duke Reinhardt.

They were a talkative family in many ways because Cale von Reinhardt, who rebelled against the empire, was the former head of the family.

After the empire collapsed, ironically, they became the only hope for mankind and the only place to live for those who were driven to the brink of the end.

All other places have been annihilated by demons and, on top of that, turned into uninhabitable ruins by calamities.

And even Duke Reinhardt, who is now the only residence of that human race.

No matter how you look at it, they were facing a final showdown in which defeat was dark.

“… … A melting catastrophe, a starving catastrophe, a breathing catastrophe. Just three catastrophes. The number of demons is uncountable. It will be impossible to win. And then… … Humanity is over.”

Lucia, in a calm voice, discussed the end.

A wizard who has risen to the pinnacle of humanity at this point.

The black-haired woman spoke in a tone that didn’t care about a word that completely shattered her hopes.

“The empire fell… … Well, even if that’s the case, ‘that crazy elemental sage’ went on a rampage, and you, a wizard from the 10th circle, joined in the commotion.”

fall of the empire.

Of course, there was no one here to reprimand him for his actions.

Because they were the ones who knew better than anyone about the rotten aspect of the Kaisha Empire.

The leader of the Hestia Mercenary Corps, Mercenary King Hestia.

She arrogantly gripped the spear with one arm and crossed her legs as she spoke in a tone of annoyance.

“Even if the ‘northern’ hadn’t collapsed so vainly, humanity’s defeat wouldn’t have been so certain.”

“… … .”

Pure white long hair, as if it had just snowed.

northern.

She is the queen of the land of warriors, and the last successor of the ‘Silver tribe’, also known as the Empress of Iron Blood. Lin.

She crumpled that unusually steely blunt expression.

“I know who took the lead in contributing to ‘breaking down the north’.”

“under. Are you blaming me now? Then, do you want our Hestia mercenaries to accept the request and run away like idiots?”

When the energy of the two strongmen collided, the magic in the air trembled with that alone.

Clash of beasts and beasts.

It was the silver-haired magician who interrupted it in the middle.

“If you both want to fight any longer, I’ll teleport you out of the duchy. If you have the confidence to survive against hundreds of thousands of demons and disasters, talk more.”

“… … .”

“Tsk.”

firm tone.

Hestia clicked her tongue briefly, realizing that there would be nothing to be gained by fighting any longer.

The cold atmosphere is also for a while.

Hestia, who had turned the window around, tilted her head and asked, perhaps because she quickly changed her mind.

“ah… … Mr. Wizard. I have a question, can I ask?”

“well. I see you doing it.”

Lucia answered coldly.

Hestia continued with a smirk as if she didn’t care.

“If you’re at the level of Mr. Wizard, even if you don’t have to wage an all-out war against those disasters, you’ll be able to live well enough if you’re alone. Aren’t you running away?”

It was true.

A magician of the 10th circle who has reached an unprecedented height. Because that was Lucia.

Even if they were disasters and demons, if she made up her mind and ran away, even chasing them would be impossible.

How do you go about magic?

It is possible to grow plants, so it seems that food, clothing and shelter will be solved.

If the duke’s family collapses, they have nowhere to run, so their position is different from those who endure through evil.

It was as if she had no reason to risk her life to protect the duchy.

However, while Lucia was that strong, she risked her life and death to the point of shedding her own flesh in each battle.

The fact that the duchy has her family in particular.

… … Even if you have friends or not.

At first, I thought it was normal altruism or part of heroism, but… … And it was far from it.

If Lucia was a heroic figure.

I couldn’t explain how he didn’t blink an eye when the empire collapsed and so many people died.

In fact, Hestia, who has no knowledge of magic… … no.

Except for Lucia, no wizard in the world would feel it.

Lucia had been feeling the gap in time for several years.

By analogy.

A sense of heterogeneity, as if an hourglass had been turned upside down, as if the mainspring that turned the clock was turning backwards.

And I also knew why.

‘… … That old spirit sage must have finally found it. The spirit of time.’

The goddamn b*tch that killed Cale.

An idiot who didn’t even realize I was insane until I signed a contract with a high-ranking spirit.

Elena de Reyholton.

After burning the empire’s capital, Elena left the empire with a distraught expression, muttering that she would find the spirit of time.

I didn’t care if that b*tch died or not.

Seeing that there was a sense of heterogeneity in the passage of time, it was probably a successful regression.

I could understand instinctively.

If you follow the flow, you will be able to go to the past too.

… … That Kayle would be able to return to the world of the living.

Why does he protect the Duke’s family?

What is the reason for protecting a world that has already lost its color as soon as he dies?

short trouble.

The answer was simple.

‘roo. From now on, I’ll ask for a duke’s name.’

To keep Cale’s last request.

I don’t know if it’s a trivial request. I don’t know if it was just one word.

“I had a request. irresponsible… … From first love.”

Because of that, he was protecting the ducal family.

… … A fight you can’t win.

It was something he was struggling to protect.

An unwinnable battle.

A battle destined for defeat.

It was only after she stood in the way of the three disasters alone that Lucia, who was protecting the duchy, finally lost her life.

* * *

“… … dead? I? no, you?”

I wondered if it was because I couldn’t bring my body to that level.

… … It’s not that I couldn’t bring it, it’s that I didn’t have it because I died.

So, is he really a ghost?

– A wizard cannot go against the source. But after 10 cycles, it was different.

Having said that, Lou subtly poured out his pride as if shrugging his shoulders.

Well, it’s actually great.

It’s embarrassing to have to understand that self-objectification is good, but… … .

In the end, should I say it feels like gilding on my face?

How did your personality come to be like that?

“… … okay. Putting that aside, what does it mean to stay in the Mage Tower?”

Lucia, who belatedly recalled it, asked.

What is the reason for having to take away control of the body for a while and remain in the Mage Tower enough to speak?

When I asked about it, Lou, who smiled as if this question was simple, spat out vicious words.

– You’re weak. The only help to Cale would be to get in the way?

“… … ah?”

An evil word that pierces the lungs unexpectedly.

Lu continued talking while Lucia couldn’t come to her senses.

-4 circles. Well, they say you’ll quickly become stronger because you have experience, but it’s no different than being weak.

and.

If you stay by Cale’s side, you’ll naturally become lazy in your magic training.

Will you fall behind before long?

Because I can’t deal with even one catastrophe with only 8 circles.

It was a bit of an exaggeration, but

Since only Lu knew the future, Lucia could not easily deny it.

Your future self is your present self.

If she failed to prevent disaster, it was like saying that if she grew up normally, she would also fail.

-Of all the people by Cale’s side, if you want to become the most useless and weak person, I won’t stop you.

“… … Ciella, is she weaker than me right now?”

Lucia, who had been beaten one-sidedly, tried to counterattack like that.

All that came back was a sigh.

-… … Do you want to do that with a maid?

“no no… … . Oops.”

-And I don’t know how miserable it will be if I even talk about this. When ‘Phi’ is awakened, Ciella will be many times more powerful.

“… … blood?”

I knew that Ciella was hiding her true identity as an artifact.

Still, I thought it would be about a handful.

… … If you awaken the blood, will Ciella be stronger?

Anyway, Lucia was a magician of the 4th circle.

If you add up the memories of the past, even the wizard of the 6th circle can somehow defeat it.

It was a story that Lou was treated worse than a newborn child, but it was definitely not to that level.

Of course, the beast’s instinctive and aggressive fighting style was threatening in a fight.

An unstandardized attack that thoroughly follows instinct.

Because every attack was like a surprise attack, it was difficult for non-skilled fighters to receive it.

However, there was no reason to say that if that was all, it would be many times more.

Some kind of beast warrior. Because Lucia had the confidence to knock it down without difficulty.

‘… … No, he must have just said something stupid.’

It’s not even the legendary dragon that is said to be extinct.

There’s no way anyone can become that strong just because they’ve awakened to blood.

It must have been just a silly thing to say under the pretext of coming from the future.

okay. It’s been talked about

“… … Then, at what point can I stand by Cale’s side?”

-hmm… … first.

“first?”

When Lucia paid attention to the words that seemed to suggest a goal, Lou said.

-First, let’s rob the mage tower.

no different than before.

No, rather, in a voice that seemed excited somewhere.

* * *

I think I’ve lived my life without paying much attention to other people’s eyes.

If you stare at me so blatantly, I am a bit concerned.

“Sigh.”

Tuduk.

I, who wiped the sweat dripping down my red hair with magical power, thrust the sword into the scabbard.

The training ground was not specially chartered.

There were no knights willing to pull out their swords as if they were paying attention to me.

no. I don’t think the expression of looking at me is a bit wrong.

Even a few days ago, I was nothing more than an idiot.

I can’t believe that such an idiot could wield a sword like that——something like that.

It happened to me several times in previous episodes.

First of all, it was a little harder than those gazes.

As I turned my head to take a break, I saw familiar pink hair in my eyes.

… … There’s no way Ciella was already here?

Did you see anything in vain?

I thought so for a moment, but when I saw her approaching, I couldn’t help but realize that it wasn’t an illusion.

Because fantasy won’t come with such a distinct scent.

If it’s Ciella-like, it’s Ciella-like, as if she had buried her nose in a small animal.

“Ciella. are you back already? What about Lucia?”

“yes. Mage Lucia said that she would stay at the Mage Tower and that she could go back.”

“… … okay? Unexpected.”

It was the same in the previous episode, and I didn’t like the Mage Tower in many ways, so I thought maybe he wouldn’t come with me.

It seems that it was a hasty expectation.

Well, I might still be a little burdened.

Because the Mage Tower is the best place for a mage to grow.

round and round

As I looked at Ciela with that thought in mind, the newspaper in my hand caught my eye.

what kind of newspaper

These days, I can’t remember what will happen in the future, so I’ve been collecting information in various ways.

Did you bring it to see?

I smiled at the cute idea and tried to stroke Ciela’s hair, but stopped when I realized that it was a sweaty hand.

I should go in and take a shower.

With that thought in mind, the moment he was about to entrust the sword to Ciela.

The knight who had been watching me quietly spoke to me.

“Princess Kale! By any chance, can I ask for a match!”

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by that sudden Dalian application.

Let’s fight?

so suddenly?
