Chapter 114 – Episode 114 Why Are You Out There
I came out to meet you from the magic tower.
No, in fact, it was not a meeting, but a group of battle mages to chase and annihilate me, but they just ran into each other in front of the mage tower.
Oh, by the way, there is not much difference between a battle mage and a normal mage.
He is just a mage who is more familiar with combat, has learned martial arts, and uses magic that focuses on interpersonal combat rather than firepower.
To be honest, from my point of view, it is easier to deal with a group of battle mages than a group of normal wizards.
“Hero! Be polite and bound!”
And, at the forefront of those mages was the elder of the Mage Tower, Jacqueline Oswald, whose arms and legs were intact.
“Oh, I guess you attached it properly? It’s worthwhile to cut it neatly on purpose.”
“Pudeuk…! You traitor to humanity! You heretic who made a pact with the devil! Considering the fact that you still have reason and that you are a hero chosen by the goddess, you should be thankful that you didn’t attack right away! So as requested If not…!”
“If not?”
“We have no choice but to use force! We also don’t want to go that far against the hero, so you’ll have to accept it and claim your innocence! Keep in mind that this is an opportunity! Now that it’s known that you are originally a pact with the devil, , And since the fact that he attacked me, the elder of the Mage Tower, is clear and obvious! It wouldn’t be strange if he was summarily executed on the spot!”
“Hmm…”
His eyes were so full of life that he really wanted to kill him, but he couldn’t, so it was clear that he was regretful.
“Why should I claim my innocence?”
“What!? Are you saying that now! If you made a contract with the devil, you would be hostile to humanity like the demons! We can never stand by and watch the hero degenerate like that!”
“I’m not hostile to humanity?”
“Anyone can say slick words! However, just looking at how you attacked me right away, I can get a glimpse of your hatred…”
“Ah, does that matter? It’s simple if that’s the case. Let’s see… Hey, you there.”
When I pointed at one of the mages gathered together, he shrugged his shoulders in amazement.
“Me, me? No, me?”
“Yes. Do you have a crystal ball? Lend me a moment.”
“What, what are you going to do!”
“What are you going to do with the crystal ball? I have something to show you, lend it to me. I’ll return it right away.”
“…”
When he glanced at Jacqueline, Jacqueline frowned.
“…Hero. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but I’ve confirmed that you’re willing to claim your innocence, so I’ll go to the Mage’s Tower…”
“Wait, does that sound too unfair?”
At that time, Owen’s teacher, Amaris, took the lead with a haughty face.
“…Amaris. To be honest, it bothered me that you were there from a while ago. Why are you with the hero? After all, did you become a traitor to humanity after studying taboos?”
“Hmph. That’s ridiculous. I’m just here to guarantee the status and innocence of a hero. I’m betting the position of Elder of the Mage Tower.”
“What…! Four years!”
“Are there any problems?”
“…Kuh!”
Jacqueline, who had been attacking with authority just before, trembled with a troubled look when confronted with similar authority.
But really, to that guy, being a warrior is no joke.
In terms of practical authority, the warriors must be on the top line… Anyway, the old boys of the Magic Tower only think that they are the center of the world and the best, so it’s a problem.
“Pass the crystal ball.”
“…Hmph, no matter what you do, it’s useless. Amaris, I hope this doesn’t stand in your way.”
“You don’t care.”
At Amaris’ urging, Jacqueline showed her condescension as if to take a step back and nodded to the wizard I had pointed out.
Then, the wizard takes out a crystal ball from his bosom and throws it to me.
“Thank you. Let’s see.”
Taking it lightly, I energized both the crystal ball and the ‘Essence of Dawn’ that had melted into my body at the same time.
“Um… Is this how you do it?”
Somehow, by synchronizing the ‘Essence of Dawn’ and the crystal ball, light emanated from the crystal ball like a beam projector, and an image was played in the air.
Oh, the quality is great.
Anyway, ‘Essence of Dawn’ is a thing. I have to praise Marilyn and Verde later.
The beginning of the video started with Jacqueline making a disgusted expression at my words.
-Stop fucking. I don’t have the hobby of being someone else’s test subject.
-…!
-Is it a song? Anyway, the sorcerers…
In the video, I sighed and moved on, taking the holy sword near the entrance.
However, since the point of view revolves around my gaze, there is no directing beauty.
-Huh? Oh shit There are no subspace pockets. Where are you? Do you really want to go back?”
Jacqueline’s face went white at the sound of my voice, and she shook her head.
– Me, I don’t know! I’ve never seen anything like a subspace pouch…!
Awesome!
“Wow!?”
“Wow!?”
In the video, as Jacqueline’s leg is cut off, the wizards let out a short scream.
-Keu, keuaaaaagh…!?
-Give it to me quickly. When you say nice things.
-Eh, attacking me, the elder of the Mage Tower! There is really no turning back now! Warrior! You will be the merit of all wizards!
-Have you ever been on my side in the first place? Babies like bats.
Awesome!
-You ah …!
As he blows his arm, his expression becomes desperate.
-Hey, here! We are here!
Jacqueline, who hurriedly searched for her clothes with her free arm, took out a space bag and held it.
– I’ll give it to you sooner. Oh, don’t be too upset Do you know the value of subspace pockets? An arm and a leg are cheap for trying to steal this?
Pop.
The video ended there, but most of the faceless wizards were already realizing it.
In the first place, the justification was on my side.
“Jacqueline Oswald. Shall we do according to the real Imperial law? You are accused of stealing a sub-space pouch, the value of which no one dares to judge, and that too from a hero… Wouldn’t it be strange if the death penalty was handed down?”
When I smile, his face turns white.
Oh, it’s very similar to the one in the video.
“Uh, don’t be ridiculous! What a hero! What an evil heretic who made a pact with the devil! It can’t be a crime! Crab, besides…Yes! That video was definitely fabricated! It must have been made with evil magic. Obvious!”
“It’s ugly. Jacqueline. It’s embarrassing to be an elder of the same Mage Tower.”
“Keugh…!”
At Amaris’ words, Jacqueline trembled with his face red.
“Even so! The fact that I made a contract with the devil doesn’t change! If I don’t admit that I’m innocent about it…!”
“Who are you recognizing?”
“What? Of course it’s the Magic Tower! Without our approval, it wouldn’t be easy for you to be active as a hero, so what are you trusting and being so proud of!?”
“Puhaha…”
It’s just funny to listen to someone who knows nothing from a position of knowing everything.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t need anyone’s approval. I’m just acting as a hero myself.”
Well, if I didn’t have the strength, these words would be bullshit, but now it’s different.
It has the power to protect not only me but also the people around me.
It even gets stronger the more you have sex. Along with the people around you.
What is there to be afraid of?
“Anyway, I won’t stop you if you want to fight, but I don’t easily forgive those who attack me. Those whose lives are precious should leave now. , Because of Amaris’ request here.”
“Oh no…!?”
When I put her on her shoulder, Amaris trembled and groaned softly.
Sigh, smile as she clears her throat with a reddened face.
“I hope you understand. Then.”
Bubbly.
Jacqueline seemed conflicted, changing her facial expression moment by moment as she took the lead and slowly moved her steps, but she soon clenched her teeth and moved away from her seat.
“You made a good choice. You should cherish your life.”
“…You will regret it. Hero.”
“Yes, yes. You will.”
“Puduk…!”
Ignoring Jacqueline grinding her teeth, she entered the Magic Tower.

“So, where is the guy you want to save?”
Jumul-Luck Jumul-Luck.
“Ahhh…! Let go of my hand…! What if someone sees…!”
“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay. There’s no one there right now, right?”
“Keukssuk…!”
With her arms wrapped around her shoulders and her draped hands caressing her breasts, Amaris winced and took her steps with difficulty.
“Eh, since we’ll be arriving soon… Uhm…!”
Following her strange moaning, going up and down inside her complex and bizarre mage tower, moving through space, or walking for a long time, she arrived at a place that looked like a tightly sealed prison.
It gave off a strong impression that it was not a place to imprison a large number of people, but a place to confine a small number of individuals, but it feels strange because it is decorated quite luxuriously.
“Here is?”
When I asked while looking around the unknown place, she put on a bitter expression.
“Whoa, whoa…! It’s assigned to me, the Elder of the Mage Tower… It’s a kind of laboratory. Currently, it’s only used as a room for that child.”
“Hmm…?”
Stepping over to the big sofa, she lifted something that looked like a doll.
“…That.”
“Nominally my companion, but an old friend from childhood. Her name is ‘Haidley’. As you can see, she’s a fairy.”
“…”
It was a head-sized human with large dragonfly wings.
It looks like a beautiful adult woman reduced while maintaining her proportions.
She has radiant blonde hair like Elia or Aurora, and her udders and silence followed are great for a small subject, so she catches her attention.
Her clothes are also wearing a tight-fitting pure white dress, which looks even more lewd thanks to the curves of her body exposed over the dress.
“…Haidley?”
Why is it here No, did it actually exist?
It was a kind of helper NPC that guided the character selection window and tutorials.
It was to the point that there was a certain fan base because it was unnecessarily pretty and ugly…
“No, wait.”
Come to think of it, outside of explaining or guiding the game, there were times when Hadley appeared.
It’s time to do ‘characteristic gacha’ or ‘skill gacha’.
Uniquely, the game’s gacha system could only be turned into ‘achievement points’ that can be obtained through multiple playthroughs, and multiplayer players could enjoy more pleasant or explosive play through this gacha.
If you have already successfully played the 1st round, you will be able to run the talent and skill gachas 10 times each.
“Rom?”
I came to my senses at Amaris’ call and stared at me.
Hadley was slumped over her hand as if asleep.
“Ah, sorry. Anyway… This guy has been friends with you? Since childhood?”
“That’s right. It really helped me a lot. It’s thanks to Hadley that I became interested in beings from another dimension… But one day, Hadley and the devil I summoned from another dimension made a forced contract.”
“A forced contract? Is such a thing possible?”
“Didn’t Hadley actually end up like this? I still don’t know how that was possible… Is it because Hadley’s existence is out of the norm… Or…”
I scratched my head at the sight of her swallowing dry saliva as if it was difficult to say.
“Lilith. Did you hear everything? Can you explain?”
Suddenly at my call, Lilith, who jumped out, nodded her head.
I might be able to draw the same conclusions as hers if I searched her memories, but it’s quite annoying, so it’s much easier to ask.
It is not originally mine, so it requires considerable concentration and discernment.
“It’s a forced contract. It’s possible, but… The conditions are quite strict. In this case, it’s likely that the magician made a mistake. Hey, did you say Amaris? Explain in detail the ritual that summoned the demon at that time. “
“Uh, ah…That’s…”
As Amaris stuttered, Lilith let out a sigh and shook her head.
“There are too many things to point out. First of all, the use of ‘devil’s blood’ was fatal. It wouldn’t have been easy to obtain it, but to use such a useless thing even for a ritual… From my point of view, it only seems like a suicide attempter.”
“That, that… Hadley became like this because of my mistake…”
Seeing her teary eyes, I gently massaged Lilith’s bottom.
“So, how can I do that?”
“Hmm, judging from the combined form of the soul, it looks like Belphegor from ‘Sloth’… It’s kind of annoying. I guess I’ll have to go into a dream.”
“In a dream?”
Tilting her head, Lilith nodded her head with her face in her annoyance.
“Yeah, we’ve got to get rid of the loafer that clings to this guy.”
“Are you talking about a piece of the soul?”
“Okay.”
“Hmm…How do you get into a dream?”
“Don’t worry about that. Have you already forgotten who I am? She’s the queen of dreams. She’s regained some of her powers, so it’s not that difficult.”
“Ah, that’s right. Then can I leave everything to you?”
“What are you talking about. You’re going into the dream. Rom. I can’t go because I have to rule the dream from the outside.”
“Eek…”
Something seems to be bothering me very much.
“Boo, please. Rom. No, Mr. Rom…!”
Seeing Amaris shedding her tears, her sigh escapes.
“Haa… I meant to do it anyway, so she doesn’t have to make that face.”
“Hey, isn’t it dangerous?”
At Aurora’s words, Lilith confidently nodded her head.
“You don’t have to worry. In the first place, if Rom dies, I will die too.
“Phew…Then I’m glad.”
“Okay then, Rom. Lie down.”
“…Okay.”
And so, I suddenly entered Hadley’s dream.
