Chapter 55 – The Witch’s Past and the Hero
“Ruler! Now let’s start again!”
After Emil said that we should start again, we began the march of hell.
Unfortunately, the carriage was destroyed when I was being chased by Isabel, so I had to go on foot.
Damn it.
“Huh, huh… Joe, let’s rest for a bit.”
“No. “You took a break earlier.”
“Hey… Hehe.”
Shio, who was physically weaker than the others, started sweating profusely about an hour after starting the march.
I was barely able to walk using the staff as a walking stick.
Sweat ran down my forehead and down the bridge of my nose, dripping drop by drop, and I almost felt like I was dying.
In comparison, Emil and I were swordsmen who mainly focused on hand-to-hand combat, so we didn’t get tired at all, but Erina and Shio, who weren’t, were getting more and more tired.
They say this is why those who don’t like boners can’t do it.
“Ha. “Put him on my back.”
“To? Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine, so please put me on your back. Emil, please carry Erina on your back. “I’m speechless, but Erina also looks quite tired.”
“Under!! Ha… The load is not hard… Please.”
It was a journey too difficult to refuse, so Erina gave up and started carrying Emil on her back.
Karen, who was not a combatant, didn’t seem to be tired at all like us, but she really decided that she needed to do some physical training later.
As I walked with Shio on my back, I felt something strange behind me, and when I turned around, I saw Shio with a strange expression hugging me from behind and rubbing her breasts against my back.
“Ugh… Seup, haa~ It’s Line’s back.”
Ugh.
I wanted to just throw it away and run away, but since it was my choice, I held on with all my might and kept walking.
Even while marching, he subtly touches her breasts or licks the nape of her neck with his tongue,
Or, she almost fell because of the wind blowing in her ears, but she walked without any trouble.
“Look over there! There’s a big cabin over there.”
“Hmm, I think this is the workshop mentioned in the quest.”
“Ugh… “I feel like he’s still far away, but he’s dangerous.”
He suddenly frowned and took on a serious mood, making everyone nervous.
Is it really the enemy?
Was this quest actually a trap, a trap set up to kill us?
“That’s a lie.”
“Look after.”
Emil, who was nervous while holding her uni in her hand, threw Erina on her back to the ground and stomped on her with his feet, lynching her.
Aya, who was also nervous, grabbed both of Erina’s legs as she lay on the floor, put her feet between her legs, and…
“Ugh!! “I’m sorry!”
“Erina, you must be in pain.”
“I’m sorry!!!”
Erina, who had tasted the fantastic combination of Aya and Emil, suddenly looked as if she had just fought a battle, and Shio, who was riding on her back, stretched out his arms to treat Erina.
“Kukkukkuk…” . It’s hilarious.”
“I find it a bit funny too.”
Karen, who was standing next to me, was chuckling and laughing as if Erina’s antics were fun.
There really is no normal at this party.
-Knock!
“Are you inside?”
Emil took the lead and knocked on the door to her witch’s workshop, and the door creaked open by itself.
This probably means it’s okay to come inside.
As soon as I went inside, it felt like it had been spotless, and when I went inside, a broom or mop was moving on its own, cleaning the inside of the house.
When Erina saw this, she placed her finger on her chin and looked at it with interest,
The rest of the people who did not have much deeper knowledge about magic looked at it as if it was fascinating.
“With this level of sophistication, you must be a person of considerable skill.”
“Is it that much?”
“I sometimes miss precision because I value power, but even if I concentrate hard, I think it would be difficult to be as precise as this person.”
When Erina, known as an excellent magician, spoke, she began to believe something.
As before, she committed many misdeeds, but her magical abilities were proven, so everything she said was believed.
“I think it’s this room.”
The room with the door, which looked luxurious to anyone, gave the impression that the owner of the house must be there.
Inside the door, which opened automatically before knocking, was a beautiful woman with black hair sitting in a comfortable-looking chair and reading a book.
We entered the open door as if possessed, and when everyone came in, the door closed automatically, and he closed the book he was reading and looked at us.
Her blue-eyed gaze looked from Emil to the other colleagues, then stopped at me and then moved again.
Of course, I also stopped once when my eyes fell on Karen.
“They are really fun kids. “It’s a very strange combination of a warrior, a fun-looking knight, and a demonic porter.”
The witch lifted the stick up from the desk and held it to her mouth. She took a sip and said that it would be fun to make a round donut.
Could it be that he figured out my identity just by looking at me?
“First, thank you for crossing the long road to come here. “You must have suffered a lot on the way here.”
“Are you aware that we were attacked?”
“Of course, the children in this forest are like my eyes.”
I guess they were watching our entire journey to get here.
It may seem creepy to say that I was always being watched, but that wasn’t important right now.
If a witch is this talented, why did she invite an adventurer?
“By now, you’re probably wondering why I called you guys.”
“Yes, I wonder why a witch like you needs help.”
“I didn’t specifically call you to harm you, so don’t worry.”
It seemed too early to be at all relieved when I was told to take it easy.
If a person who looks suspicious at first glance believes that he is a safe person and that he should be at ease, it can be said that his head is a flower garden.
The other party members were still looking at the witch with a stiff expression on her face, and the witch grinned and continued to inhale and exhale the smoke in her mouth.
“So why did you really call us?”
“Hmm… “First of all, I should introduce who I am,”
The witch from where she had been sitting stood up, held her fluttering cloak, and bowed her head in polite greeting.
I almost bowed my head to her because of the etiquette I was forced to learn from her in the past, but I came to my senses and looked at her.
“My name is Adelia Amnesia. People often call me the witch of the constellations.”
“Adelia, why are you letting us go?”
“And I was in charge of the magic of the warrior party.”
Former warrior party.
He’s probably referring to the previous hero from a few decades ago before Emil became a hero.
However, if she were a human living at that time, she would have to be at least a grandmother to be normal.
“You must be surprised that I look so young and say this. Right?”
“That’s true.”
“To put it simply, the purity of the body’s mana has increased so much that the body’s time has stopped.”
The time of the body stops.
In reality, you rarely see such cases, so others may not believe it, but I believe it.
Because both my mother and Lennon Reichhardt believed in magnetism so powerful that the body’s time stopped.
“You must have a lot of questions right now.”
“Of course.”
“I’ll answer all your questions, so you can ask them.”
Since it is her question, there are many questions to ask her.
There was a lot to think about as the information about her past membership in her warrior party and her curiosity about why she called us were not answered.
“Then how did the former warrior die? I heard that, according to the story, she died along with the devil.”
When I heard Emil ask with a serious expression, I also became curious.
I heard that the former warriors committed suicide while suppressing the previous demon lord, but I was curious about whether that information was true.
She asked her mother, but she said she didn’t know, and she knew someone in the kingdom, so she asked, but no one answered.
“He died… Haha. “No, she didn’t die.”
“Yes? She’s not dead. Then why did he…”
“She didn’t die, she changed. To the devil.”
What I heard from her was shocking.
The fact that the previous hero has changed, and that he is the devil who put the world in fear.
Then why didn’t the church and the kingdom tell Emil, the current hero, about this?
Even if they are not active in the capital yet, the kingdom that was said to quietly watch over them did not even tell them this important information?
Emil, who looked even more surprised than I was, pulled the uni out of the scabbard and was checking to see if that was really true.
“UNI! “Is that really true?”
[I-I don’t even know! The previous hero was the devil…]
“Even if you ask that kid, he won’t know. In the first place, the Holy Sword of the present is different from the Holy Sword of the past, so you won’t know.”
“But if you listen to Yuni’s words, she also knew information about the previous hero, or even the first hero before that!”
“The current Holy Sword only has memories of the previous warriors, doesn’t it? Isn’t that right, Uni?”
[But… I really don’t know who the Sentai hero is. I’m sure everyone who had me before that knows, but I can’t remember anything, as if there was a white fog around the entire time.]
Why did the memories of the former warriors disappear?
And we fell together… So no matter how you look at the current Uni, it is a holy sword itself.
