Chapter 28 – 2. Hansel and Gretel (8)
“Then, shall we end here today?”
“That’s it…”
Cashwynn, who had been shaken to and fro by the disaster she had brought upon herself by chance, slumped and buried her head in her eyes.
Partly because she was dizzy, she collapsed, but it was also half-deliberate because it felt like a fever was coming from her head.
As I put my head in her eyes and cool off, I feel like I’m coming to my senses a little bit. All the spirits of the 31st rank gathered and hovered around Yuria.
Could it be that he was listening to what the spirits were saying? YuRia is. Hmm. He nodded her head and started walking away.
And the more she followed YuRia, the more Cashwin felt something strange.
With her clear eyes, even though she was walking while watching YuRia, her steps kept going in a strange direction.
Her sense of direction was twisted and twisted, and the discrepancy between what she saw and what she felt kept growing, causing severe dizziness. Within that short distance, she fell over and over again, vomited, and followed Yuria with difficulty. Soon, Yuria stopped in one place.
“Yuria?”
“Under…”
Yuria let out a sigh as she covered her face with one of her hands with a bored expression on her face.
And soon she stood in front of a large boulder and started digging her eyes out and her ground lifted but started to dig up her ground with her bare hands.
There was no soil in her hands, and the soil was so easily dug up as if YuRia’s hands were like a small shovel.
Yuria, who was digging her ground like that, took out a black bead of hers from the ground.
“How long has she been collecting here?”
“What, what is that?”
The black orb that Yuria took out gave off a very unpleasant aura.
YuRia was holding that objectionable thing that made her feel nauseous just by looking at it, and as if that objectionable object was being pushed by her, her bead trembled with an uneasy look.
YuRia waved her hand as if she was pinching her dictation, and her bead soon turned into black parchment and turned into a single page that looked like part of a book.
“The first book. Is it one of Goetia’s pages…”
Yuria was very worried when she saw her phase that had been completely contaminated.
Who is it?
Who is it that can handle magic books so freely?
Apparently, this case was far from over.
Dismissed! Dismissed!!
Returning to her room at the inn, YuRia frowned as she looked at the page of the black demon book that was still rebelling in her hand.
She was very proud that she was rebelling to this extent in front of her antique subject, which was not a big deal, but she sighed because it meant that she was not normal.
It’s been a long time since I gave up greed for power, but thinking that I was ignoring myself even for insignificant things like this, I thought that I should recover quickly even if my pride was hurt quite a bit.
No. Be honest… Although it was a reality that there was no way to recover quickly.
Shall I take it with Delgia and press it?
No it’s dangerous If you do it wrong, it may even be contaminated.
How much blood, resentment, and soul did she drink to become so pale?
How many people died in this inn?
Could the inn be so polluted just by what happened at the inn?
Who in the world processed the pages of this magic book and made it induce people?
Is this the flow the world wants? Or is it a trend that the world does not want?
Even if he tried to look into the future to find an answer in the midst of a complicated mind with arrogant thoughts, the world did not give him an answer despite the flow of countless possibilities.
It’s like saying it has nothing to do with you.
Does it build self-esteem? Or maybe it was because he really didn’t like interfering, he didn’t know.
Looking at Darzia Gaetia, who hummed and made her voice as if to ask her to look at her, YuRia paired it with a pair and hit Darzia, and Darzia’s appearance changed into a small key.
Putting the key around her neck, Yuria glared fiercely at her black pages.
“If it’s a little dangerous to do it yourself with Delgia, then you can do it the other way around.”
She drew the power of Darzia into herself.
Her spirit and body, not in very good condition, creaked and screamed, but she endured it.
“I just need to take the power of Deergia into me and press it down.”
From the pages that had been black, the color that had been dyed black gradually began to be pushed out from the end.
When the page, which had been resisting violently, tried to resist even more fiercely when it was about to be purified, beads of sweat began to form on YuRia’s forehead.
However, it was still too much to resist.
The power poured out by Yuria was the power of a whole magic book, and the opponent was a single page.
There, wielding that power was an existence on the same level as a demi-god, no matter how hard it was.
Of course, it was a page that seemed to belong to Goetia, the first book, but it was not a fight that a complete book could do with the power of just one page.
Pababababat -!!
Paang!!
In the end, the black pollution was pushed to the end of the page, and soon all the pollution disappeared with a light explosion.
Looking at the page that was fluttering and clean, YuRia looked at the page with a grin.
“I don’t think it’s Goetia?”
I’m not quite sure
The knowledge that YuRia possessed was not professional knowledge either, and she only read countless magazines that someone had put together.
Knowledge compiled by people like pervert, who are fanatical about musty old things.
Although it is a data that can be said to be reliable because it is data compiled by humans of the same era as them, it is a legacy of an ultra-distant ancient past that is not enough to even say that it is really far away.
In the era of YuRia, it is now a completely meaningless remnant.
From Yuria’s point of view, these were just those things.
Even so, the time here is now. It would be too dangerous for these ancient humans.
“I’m tired…”
After sighing, Yuria withdrew the power of Therezia that was filling her body.
As expected, the liver was cut in half, and other places were also in an abnormal situation, so I felt tired.
While looking at a page that might belong to a certain magic book, Yuria waved it around for a while, then changed it to something else.
Only one page.
It has already been purged there, and it is a situation where you have used your own hands, so there will be no difficulty in handling it if you are a wizard of the level of Cashwyn.
YuRia, who had transformed into a small crystal ball, left the room to go to Cashwyn while trying to drive off the drowsiness that was about to pour out due to fatigue.
Thinking that I should just bring this and take a deep breath.
…
What?
Amidst the feeling that her memory had been interrupted in the middle, Yuria felt something very heavy on her body.
When she opened her eyes with difficulty, she saw a familiar roof.
“What…?”
Is it a dream
No, it’s a dream…
“…”
I don’t know.
But for some reason, I finally came to my senses.
Originally, I would think that my cave house was my house, but now I and Loa have formed a family, and it is because I have stayed here longer than the cave house. It felt more like home now.
It’s home…
Before I knew it, I also considered this place my home.
In the midst of such a change, Yuria relaxed her body and leaned on the bed.
Let’s see… Where did some of the magic books go?
I glanced at it and rolled my eyes to see that it was quietly placed on top of a chest of drawers. A piece of cloth or something was appropriately crumpled underneath to prevent it from rolling away.
Come to think of it, when did he fall asleep and how long did he fall asleep?
When I woke up, I was at home…
“Okay…”
It must have been a crowd. It’s kind of cumbersome, but I thought it would be possible. Could it be that I couldn’t afford this?
Waking up in a room alone made me feel a little lonely.
Normally, I would have been used to being alone.
Roa used to come often, but even so, she spent more time alone and longer than with anyone.
However, as if she had become too accustomed to the noisy surroundings, she felt a little depressed because the surroundings were quiet.
She doesn’t want to come because she likes anyone…
It would be nice if Loa would come.
Click –
“Huh?”
“Uh?”
Like a joke, at that moment Loa opened the door and appeared.
“Yuria?”
“Ah, ahaha…”
“Yuria-!!”
As it was, Loa came and rushed at me.
The momentum is quite amazing, so I’m surprised! So much so that she did and made a sound.
YuRia, who was completely absorbed in her bed and buried herself in her bed, moaned softly at the heavy feeling of Roa’s pressure on her.
“It’s fortunate. I thought it couldn’t happen like this.”
“Hey, it’s hard…”
“Ah? Mi-sorry!”
Roa, who hastily separated from YuRia, had a very happy expression and an apologetic expression at the same time.
However, as if she still wanted to see Yuria awake for a minute or a second more, YuRia broke into a cold sweat as she looked at Roa’s eyes, which were full of Yuria’s image, with her clear eyes shining. Got off
“Uh, uh… What happened?”
“Huh? Ah… So I found Yuria lying on the floor with her unconscious in that fake inn.”
According to Roa’s explanation, a crystal ball slightly larger than a person’s fist was lying on the floor, and he was unconscious, so he was wondering what to do. It was a story that Nuri and Roa returned home taking turns carrying Yuria.
And when she got home, she didn’t wake up for a week.
“A week or so?”
“What the hell have you been doing… My heart stopped twice in the week I was unconscious!”
At those words, YuRia broke into a cold sweat.
Right now, if your heart stops, you won’t die, but it means that you put too much strain on your body.
I wondered why my body was so heavy, so that’s why…
“I’m sorry… I had to do something because it was so dangerous…”
“But… Is that what YuRia must have done while going that far?”
Seeing Roa worry so much about her, Yuria felt her heart ache.
“I’m sorry… But this will probably happen a lot in the future. Even if I don’t want it, that’s my destiny.”
“…”
With difficulty, she lifted her hand and lightly brushed Roa’s cheek.
“Do you regret it?”
“No. Even if it hurts my heart, I still want to be with Yuria.”
Listening to Roa’s promise once again, Yuria let out a small sigh.
“Thank you…”
Roa will not yet know what Yuria said about her gratitude.
She also knows what the words she said to Yuria meant to her.
But to YuRia, Roa’s words really felt like an indulgence.
“Call me some cashews. I have something to tell you.”
After a while, Cashwyn, who was called to her room, was looking at Yuria with a slightly angry expression.
“They said it’s fine for you, is this okay?”
“Okay…”
I know.
“But you understand with this? How dangerous is that book?”
“…”
She didn’t want to admit it, but she had to.
In particular, Cashwyn, who had been watching YuRia for the past week, could not help but know why YuRia held her back even if she didn’t want to know.
It was such a terrifying sight. She seemed to be unconscious, but she screamed and groaned for 24 hours a day, and the sight of Yuria writhing in her body was just too gruesome.
She seemed to be a little quiet, but the sight of her body leaping more than a meter from her lying down in a fit gave me goosebumps just to see it.
While she was having seizures, she suddenly became happy and quiet. Cashwyn thought that maybe her seizures had stopped. .
Not hearing her heartbeat, Cashwyn freaked out and hurriedly pressed Yuria’s chest, covered her nose, and blew into her mouth.
Fortunately, during her CPR, her ribs didn’t break, and Yuria’s breathing and heartbeat returned again. She rushed to CPR herself, but it’s not polite to kiss a woman who already has her lover.
But she didn’t want to let Loa do it. Loa didn’t know her method, so now let’s teach her, it was dangerous because she looked too raw.
Just as expected. After that, as expected, Yuria had another seizure, and her sudden drooping situation occurred, and Nuri, who was waiting next to her, hurriedly performed CPR on her Yuria and revived her safely.
On her 6th day, YuRia’s seizures finally stopped and after that, she returned to her daily life with Roa taking care of her, but even thinking about it now, those were truly dizzying moments.
As she heard what had happened while she was unconscious, Yuria’s complexion became a little pale.
“That, was… Huh?”
“It’s really pissing me to say what’s going on without knowing anything after making such a fuss.”
For some reason, this time she was Yuria, who could only become infinitely smaller in front of Cashwyn.
“I-I thought this would be fine…”
“If that’s okay, if it’s not okay, I’ll kill you immediately, really.”
“…”
Cashwin said ha ha, looking at Yuria with a really angry expression.
“I don’t care if you die or not. If you die, just dissect her from head to toe as much as you like and use it as a subject for research. But…”
After saying that, Cashwyn took a moment to catch her breath before opening her mouth again.
“If you die. What happens to loa? You say you’re sincere to loa, but don’t you think it’s loa? After you die, do you want me to live watching loa slowly die alive?”
“…”
It was only belatedly that YuRia began to feel guilty.
Because Cashwin was right.
I was too complacent.
After confessing to Loa that I would give you everything, I put myself in danger again…
“Whoa, please live while taking care of yourself, huh?”
“I’ll try, but it’ll be a bit difficult… It’s true that this work is really due to my complacency, but the world won’t leave me alone.”
At that, Cashwyn looked away from YuRia with an expression close to giving up, as if she was tired of being angry.
“Somehow, that Loa child comes to like a woman like this… Of course, as a man, having a woman like you is the greatest happiness, but you are the woman who gives the greatest happiness and the greatest despair at the same time. The more you love, the more you suffer…”
“…”
“Damn. What can I do? Somehow, I have to roll more so that you suffer less. If you hurt, Loa hurts too, you bitch.”
Normally, she wouldn’t have let Cashwyn speak so harshly, but she couldn’t say anything to Cashewyn now.
She could sense that he was saying this out of genuine concern for her, Loa, and herself.
After staring at Cashwyn for a moment, Yuria silently pointed at her crystal ball placed on top of her dresser.
“Huh? Come to think of it, what is that? It was rolling around near you, so I picked it up with you.”
“That’s the black bead that came out of the ground then.”
What did Cashwyn say? And looked at the marble.
“This!?”
“I was going to purify it by pressing it with the power of Theregeia, but when I thought about it, it would be contaminated, so I changed the method a little. I brought the power of Theregeia into my body and pressed it myself. I was forgetting that I had become so weak. I was just thinking that Dargia wasn’t a big deal to the original me…”
“…”
“No, uh, don’t look at me like that! I’ll never do anything dangerous like that next time.”
YuRia, who had been watching Cashwynn for a long time in such a heavy atmosphere, threw the crystal ball at Cashewyn.
“Huh?”
“I attached it to my cane and used it. I improved it, so it’s fine now.”
Cashwin stared blankly at YuRia.
“Are you just giving me this?”
“Because it’s useless to me anyway. To me, who is trying to get rid of even Deergia Goetia… Well, no. Give it back.”
Cashwin glared at YuRia strongly, as if asking if she was taking it away.
“I-I’m sorry. But I think I’ll need it. I keep thinking of the past me as a standard, so I keep forgetting what kind of state I am now.”
Cashwyn seemed to be very sorry for that, and returned the crystal ball in her hand to YuRia as it was.
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I’m going to make equipment that can support me now, like sunfish. I’m going to tear off all of Theergia Goetia and use them as materials.”
If you can’t get rid of it right away, you can make it the same as if you got rid of it.
Until one day you recover your powers and no longer need any equipment to support yourself, the more you seek out magic books in this world, the stronger you become, protecting yourself more safely and lessening the burden in using your powers. Such equipment.
“I’ll have to cut down some cedar trees soon.”
“Eek!?”
“Anyway, if you want to make equipment that can contain magic books, you’ll have to do that. At that time, I’ll make you a wand instead of this crystal ball.”
At YuRia’s words, Cashwyn immediately fell flat on her face.
“Please do anything”
“…Isn’t the change of attitude too quick?”
“Your attitude is like giving me a cane? What can I do? Making drugs? Working on orders? If you ask me to do anything, I’ll follow you like a dog.”
YuRia just looked down at Cashwyn with contempt at the appearance of Cashwyn, who had changed so drastically.
“It’s kind of disgusting…”
Haha…”
YuRia, who woke up under the same futon as Roa, put on her well-folded dark clothes on the bed, and for some reason a smile appeared on her lips.
Even though she didn’t have a strong relationship because her body wasn’t very good, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to spend a quiet time with each other.
Be honest… It wasn’t an ordinary burden to accept Roa with such a small body, so she didn’t show her expression, but she was very shy.
It’s okay to fall asleep feeling each other’s body temperature and body scent with only bare skin touching each other, but it must be a difficult day for Roa.
Still, when she sees her holding back for herself, she feels a bit sorry, but she was more lovable that way.
She smiles and kisses Loa, and Loa begins to open her eyes as well.
“Woke up…?”
“Yeah. Loa should hurry up and get ready to go wearing her clothes.”
Roa, who got up from her seat in a messy manner, turned around and started putting on her clothes.
Seeing Roa like that, Yuria smiled happily.
Now, even Roa, she is slowly coming to realize that she is ashamed. When she thought about it, she unknowingly had a motherly smile on her own. Yuria cleared her throat and helped Roa put on her clothes.
“It’s a tree that I’ve grown with so much care, isn’t it a waste?”
“It’s a tree that was originally planted to make something. It’s not a waste because it’s used where it’s supposed to be. It’s just a bit regrettable.”
Roa, who had already finished wearing her clothes, looked back at her Yuria and asked.
What the hell is she trying to make?
“Should I say it’s clothes that will ease the burden that will come on me when I use my abilities… It’s clothes to me, but to Roa and Cashwin, it’s like underwear.”
At YuRia’s words, Roa tilted her head. Clothes or underwear?
“I’ll show it to Loa later”
It would have been impossible if there were only cedar trees, but there is no problem if you disassemble the magic book and use it as a material.
The sorcerers will make up for the lacking parts.
In effect, it was a device to seal her magic book and a support device that would assist Yuria’s own protection skills.
Originally, the performance was so poor that one would not even look at it, but if there was nothing special and the natural resilience was enough to restore one’s condition, the suit that he is trying to make now would be able to use it for about 100 years.
If so, you should pay more attention. Let’s not be too hasty.
Gather more ingredients to make it better.
All I have to do this time is to process the cedar tree and prepare the material for future equipment.
“But making it is not now”
“Huh?”
“Because I need more rare materials. It may take several years.”
Of course, Cashwyn’s wand will be made as soon as the cedar tree is processed today.
“Come on, let’s go. Let’s go after breakfast.”
Roa, who is being led by Yuria’s hand, sees Yuria gradually showing a bright and natural girlish appearance, and she is unknowingly being pulled out of her room by her hand.
As she did so, Loa unknowingly put a smile on her lips.
Ah, please let this little happiness last longer…
