Chapter 48 – Confession (1)
*
A low voice comes from the dark passage of the cave. It is the voice that utters the order.
“Salting of Hell.”
It was as soon as the voice ended.
A red magic circle began to form under the president who had turned into a monster. And a great fire broke out.
“Aaaaagh! Fon…Fon…Altesman! You bastard!”
“Heh heh heh. Go well Foolish old friend of mine.”
It was the appearance of the sage. No, what are you doing now? Even when he came late, he looked so relaxed.
As brothers, we must speak in unison later.
Kerry’s fire magic could only burn the surface of the skin, but the sage’s flames in Hell instantly turned the president’s body into black ashes.
The president’s corpse collapsed into a pile of ashes so black that even the shape was unrecognizable. Indeed, the Archmage is the Archmage.
Ugh the smell of burning flesh.
As Kerry was covering her nose, the sage said forlornly.
“Tsk…I can’t believe what the brother said is true. I hoped it was a misunderstanding.”
The remaining defeated soldiers realize the situation one by one and lay down their weapons.
The fierce battle in the abandoned mine is over.
The sage publicized this event extensively.
Announcing that a traitor had come out damaged the image of the Mage Tower, but it was said that it was more important to raise awareness in the magic city by informing the fact.
It’s a pervert, but a sage is a sage.
[It was the warriors who saved the magic city. They were the ones who informed me of the existence of the Unwarmed Seeds. When my brother, the adventurer Kerry, told me about it, I couldn’t…]
Every time I hear the principal’s speech from the wise man, I fall asleep.
Even Rina’s expression hardened when she said that she had to listen to the Principal’s speech again in the wise.
To sum up the words of the sage, a group of warriors saved the magic city! It was said that they were greatly favored.
After the sage’s speech, the people’s kindness to Lina’s party reached its peak.
“Kyaaak! Warrior! Please take a look here! It’s so cool!”
Lina was popular with women for some reason.
“Hero, what kind of relationship are you with Kerry-sama? Are you… Lovers?”
At that, Lina blushed and waved her hand in response.
Natasha and Victoria glared at the woman who asked the question with rotten expressions.
“Kerry is so handsome too! Kyaaak! You saw this!”
“Awesome! Mr. Kerry!”
“Long live the warriors!”
Something felt off. It was the first time I had received such favor in another world.
Well, it wasn’t such a bad experience.
At the inn where Lina and the others were staying, she was uncomfortable with the noisy citizens, so she had no choice but to move to a place prepared by her magic tower.
The party decided to rest in the magic city for a few days. In the meantime, Lina seemed regretful that she couldn’t find the pig and the skull.
Where did those guys go Are you hiding in another hideout? What if
Kerry gained a lot from this journey.
Kerry looked at the necklace she held in her hand. It was more of a pendant than a necklace, but inside was a picture.
I see a person who looks like an old woman at a magic tool shop.
Then she sees what appears to be the grandson her grandmother had spoken of. Did she say her name was Jamie?
A brown-haired man who looks like me who dreams of being an adventurer.
Kerry looked closely at Jamie’s face.
“Fuck! How does this look like me! It doesn’t look like me at all!”
Jamie was an ordinary macho in another world! It was also a man with a thick beard.
I’m sorry for insulting the deceased, but being ugly is an undeniable fact.
Kerry went to a magic tool shop and gave her necklace to her grandmother.
“Jamie…Ah…Jamie…Hmm.”
The bloody necklace seemed to tell what Jamie had been through.
In fact, she said that the wizards of the Mage Tower subdued Jamie, who had become a ghoul, but Kerry did not tell her about it.
She couldn’t bear to say that Jamie had been wandering around as a ghoul for ten years.
“Huh. Heh heh… Honestly, I knew yes. Jamie couldn’t come back anymore. It’s been ten years. But I think she can take it now. It’s all thanks to you.”
Her grandmother wiped her tears and retrieved a magic storage orb from the storeroom. She is a higher order marble than Kerry’s marble.
[Magic Storage Orb]
[Rating – Hero]
It’s a hero level. Nice!
The orb Kerry had was rare. She’s an orb of a higher level than that of a hero. I got it.
“Then I will accept it without hesitation.”
“Please, please accept it. I think that will put my mind at ease. Plus, I heard that you were a group of warriors who saved our city? Shouldn’t you have said that earlier?”
That’s not important now. Kerry had problems to solve.
“More than that. Grandmother. Look at the picture. Jamie and I don’t look alike at all…”
“What do you mean by that? Even if you put the picture side by side like this, they look the same.”
That it doesn’t look like Jamie is an ugly, ordinary man from another world, and I am a noble-looking modern man. Qualitatively different from men in another world!
I can’t humiliate the deceased in front of the bereaved family.
Kerry just sighed and left her shop. Her grandmother greeted Kerry and shook her hand.
There was a small happening, but it wasn’t so bad looking at the marbles in her hand.
One two three four.
Kerry had as many as four marbles in her hand.
Why four?
It was because she asked her brother, the wise man, to take over all the marbles that the president’s right arm was collecting.
I can’t afford to miss his share. Don’t be like that
“Three rare orbs and one hero grade. Sounds good?”
What a man. Jihwaja!
She used to live with her one and only bead, cherishing magic, but now she seemed to be able to breathe.
Now I might be able to play quite an active part.
Moreover, this time, the party was quite surprised because it was the first time they saw me using magic.
“Also. Kerry’s magic talent is not common. You can already use the magic storage orb.”
“I’ve already been helped by Kerry’s magic.”
“Seobang-nim is also amazing.”
Kerry sneaked out of the inn without her party her.
She needed to show the newly acquired marbles to the White Witch as well.
These are items that even the White Witch said would be difficult to obtain, but you would be surprised to see that you got this much, right?
Kerry held up the White Witch’s Sealing Orb. Then Kerry’s figure disappeared.
*
Kerry appeared in the White Witch’s bedroom. A familiar landscape now. It is an all white room. I don’t know if I’m really mentally ill.
Kerry looked around for her White Witch her.
Even though it is broad daylight, the bed is laced. Is she going to insist that beautiful women sleep a lot?
No matter how much sleep you get, it’s time to wake up.
“Witch. Wake up. The sun has risen in the middle of the sky.”
It was when Kerry kicked the laces on her bed.
The White Witch was also lying on the bed. Still not waking up, what are you doing?
“Witch. Wake up…”
Kerry looked at the white witch quietly. It was because the condition of the White Witch was different from usual. What. Where are you sick
The white witch’s face was flushed red, and she was breathing lightly.
“Witch?”
It was when Kerry asked anxiously. The White Witch slowly opened her eyes.
The White Witch covered her mouth and cleared her throat slightly.
“Did you come? You come quite often these days. Coke. Coke.”
“…Are you sick?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just a mild cold.”
Kerry put her hand on her white witch’s forehead. Forehead like a ball of fire Wherever you look, this is a mild cold.
“…Did you take your medicine?”
“…”
The White Witch couldn’t answer. There was no such thing as medicine here.
In the first place, this is the utopia of the White Witch.
Originally, harmful pathogens could not exist in the White Witch’s utopia.
This place was no different from the natural sterile room created by the White Witch.
That it is a sterile room. That was the problem.
She is a white witch who has been living in a sterile room for 100 years.
She did n’t know because she had been living alone, but her situation changed when Kerry came from outside her.
Kerry, who lives on the outside of her world, has brought traces of germs into her sterile room. She was just enough for a healthy person that she wouldn’t have any problems.
However, the White Witch’s immune system was extremely weakened as she had been in a sterile room for a hundred years.
So she caught a cold.
But she didn’t say that the White Witch was because of Kerry.
“…They said it was nothing special. It’s nothing to worry about… Cough…”
“…”
The sick look of the White Witch was the first Kerry she had ever seen. She couldn’t help but feel sorry for her because of what she had done.
Of course, Kerry never thought she’d gotten her cold because of him, but she did.
“…Just by looking at it. You probably didn’t take your medicine. No…It hurts a lot. There’s no way you’ll be able to take it. Wait here for a while. I’ll get you some herbs that are good for colds.”
“Because it’s fine.”
“I insisted. I’ll be back.”
“…Please don’t.”
It wasn’t long before Kerry returned. As she befits a magical city, it was easy to get her because there were many useful medicinal materials.
Returning, Kerry looked at her white witch. Her white witch seems to have fallen asleep.
She still had a fever in her head. Kerry began nursing her White Witch.
There was no special meaning in nursing.
She only looked a little pitiful as her snub-nosed white witch lay there every day.
Kerry soaked the towel in her water and placed it on the white witch’s forehead on her.
When the White Witch woke briefly, she also gave her medicine.
“It’s the medicine I got from the magic city. It’s a very rare deal. You’re the hero who saved the magic city. I’m giving it to you. What do you say?”
“…Became a hero in the magic city? Sounds like an interesting story. Would you like to tell me a story?”
“I can’t do it right now. I’m sick. I’ll tell you when I get better. So get well soon.”
“…Yes. You’ll get better after a good night’s sleep. Then tell me the story.”
The White Witch seemed to like adventure stories quite a bit.
After all, there is probably no other fun to be had here alone.
Kerry tended to her White Witch by day, and at night, pretending to return to her party, she went back to her White Witch by her.
Literally, she took great care of the White Witch.
Perhaps thanks to Kerry’s care for her, the white witch’s face became quite comfortable.
“Aren’t you here… Too long? What about the others?”
“Because I know how to make excuses. Don’t worry.”
“Yes. It’s your job, so you should take care of it.”
The White Witch was grateful to Kerry. For two days she was Kerry who nursed herself day and night.
Her body her has also improved a lot thanks to her her. In particular, the soup Kerry brought was really delicious. She said she made it herself, but it was of high quality.
In fact, she was a white witch who was very sad after she was forced to be beaten by Kerry the other day. I’m glad she’s only upset.
In fact, she was such that it wouldn’t be strange if she hated Kerry.
But the White Witch couldn’t hate Kerry.
Because there was only one person in the world, Kerry, with whom the White Witch could talk.
Even if she goes outside, no one who knows the White Witch nor her family will die because a hundred years have passed.
She was a white witch who was not afraid to live alone, so she created a utopia, but she was different now.
She was afraid of her loneliness now that she had known Kerry.
She was a white witch who had never known the feeling of loneliness her all her life, but now she realized what her loneliness was her was because of her her Kerry her.
So even though the White Witch wanted to hate Kerry, she couldn’t.
“The fever has gone down a lot. I think it will be okay to relax a little now.”
“…”
The man who was often riotous in the White Witch’s bedroom treats her kindly.
It was a bit of a strange feeling. Being sick isn’t bad either. Kerry wasn’t just a bad guy either.
“… Thank you.”
“You need to get well soon and go to work. I’ve got four marbles.”
“…”
“It was a joke. Wasn’t it fun?”
“Puhuh. He’s like the wrong guy.”
Kerry stretched out wide. It was Kerry who hadn’t been able to rest properly while taking care of the White Witch.
Even the white witch was able to control her body her, so it seemed like she could relax.
Shall I go back and take a nap?
“Witch. Then I will go back now.”
“… Are you leaving already?”
“Already. How long have I been here?”
“Is there something going on outside?”
“It is not. I’m tired, so I’m going to take a nap. Then let’s go.”
That was when Kerry was about to turn around.
The White Witch took Kerry’s hand hers.
“…If you’re just sleeping, can’t you sleep next to the original woman?”
The white witch’s face was stained red as she pretended to be calm.
