Another Life

After using the gate to return to Lake City, Elias and Amiria prepared for their journey and took their horses to Nalia, the Imperial City.

From here, to the destination Lavoc mine is two days west on horses.

The two of them kept the pain silently within, except for the conversation that was necessary as to whether the matter of Jimenez had been accommodated at all times.

Those were the two of them, but by the time the sun fell, to mislead their grief, they had become the usual two.

"Hey amily, it looks like it's time for the sun to go down, and why don't you get ready for camp?

"Hmm? If you say so. Right. Then we'll camp there in the open."

The two men who said so entered a little off the street.

Camp, long time no see.

With that said, did you bring food or a tent?... Shit, my head was itchy about Heath and I forgot.

"Hey amily. Do you have any food or tents?

"Hmm? Why do you have that stuff? We are basically local sourcing.

We, the Knights of Witches, are not as blessed as the Knights of the Holy Guide. "

And shit! The Witch Knights (Night Witches) were a group of survivors who procured locally, from food to anything.

With that in mind, Amiria said to Elias, who was flattered.

"Look, don't just stand there with your face like that, grab your knife, and we'll go into the woods there.

When it gets dark, it's hard to get food. "

Amilia, who said so, connected the horses, and went into the woods alone.

"Hey, hey, amily, wait!

And Elias hastened after Amilia, and went after him.

How long have you been walking? I don't know where I was already. This will kill you if you slip away from Amilee.

With Elias thinking about it, Amiria stopped, and when she picked up a small, round, black, positive-round object on the ground, she smelled cum.

"Amelie, what is that?

"Is this it? This is shit."

"Huh, shit? Shit, is that shit?

"That's right. This is... Horn Rabbit shit.

It's still warm... this number means there's a horn rabbit herd nearby.

Be glad, Ellis. We're having a treat today. "

Amiria, who said so, said with a nigga and a grin.

Huh? You gonna eat a horn rabbit or something? Is this the common sense of the Knights of Witches?

Besides, Horn Rabbit is a monster, you can't eat it.

In the sight of Elias, who thought so, Amiria did not kneel, but put her hand on the ground, and closed her eyes, and said:

"Command the Holy Spirit of the earth and show me the breath of life. Grand Sonar!

... That's close... I haven't even moved.

All right, Ellis, listen up, I went straight from here... right, about 200 meters away, there's a horn rabbit herd.

At this time, don't travel, you'll go to sleep solidified.

You take a detour and direct the horn rabbit this way.

The herd, I think, is about 3,40, but if it's one, it's moddly, don't deal with it. "

"No, what am I supposed to do about induction?

"A guy named Horn Rabbit, when he sees a human, he attacks in a group.

But if you kill five or six people, you don't think you're going to win, and you run away in the opposite direction of a human being at once. "

"Wait a minute, that means I'm alone with the demon."

"Can't you? These Knights of Witches are a new knight's job."

What did you say?... do it, let's do it.

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Yeah, well, the horn rabbit, even the horn, is fine."

"Oh, I get it."

And Elias, who said so, made great detours, as he was told, and went on.

Sure, he said he was ahead of us, but he was really... there.

No, I'm here, I'm here, but what are you doing? Too many.

Fifty is here, isn't it? It's time for the sun to go down, and if you don't hurry up, don't let it get wrapped up in the dark.

So thought Elias, when he slowly pulled out the sword, the branches beneath Elias' feet made a crisp sound, which was the moment when he tried to approach him quietly.

To signal it, Horn Rabbit looked in the direction of Elias simultaneously, and the eyes of all Horn Rabbits were glowing red.

Around a hundred red eyes, turned simultaneously, were disgusting enough in this bleak forest, and Elias retreated unexpectedly.

In fact, in this area, on the battlefield, I was always a samurai running through the front lines, but it was surprisingly my first time fighting demons and I couldn't figure out how to attack them.

Even if I say it's big, it's about the size of a dog, and he said it's enough for a rookie knight to take it down, so it'll be fine.

Elias thought so, as he approached the horn rabbit, the horn rabbit jumped small and approached him.

What is this? Isn't it an easy win?

It was then that Horn Rabbit, who had come to the immediate vicinity of Elias, jumped, as he thrust up from the bottom in momentum.

"Ugh!

So Elias twisted his body and managed to do something about it.

This, if you can poke it up from the bottom in that corner, you could die.

Plus that number...... I think the intrusion is horn rabbit, and if I were insulting you, I'd be dead.

Well, I think I get it when I say new knight's job.

If you are cautious about appearance, you will cause death.

Do you want me to learn that in my experience… When there are more Knights of the Knights of the Holy Guidance, it's not bad to let them practice in conjunction with the Knights of Witches (Night Witches).

That's what Elias thought, tightening his feelings, headed for Horn Rabbit.

Elias took care not to be missed by the Horn Rabbit, and defeated one, and another.

And he defeated the seventh, but Horn Rabbit didn't even show him how to escape.

Hey, amily! What's going on, this is the seventh one.

Why didn't you run away?

It was Elias who thought so, but he realized that the horn rabbit's red, glowing eyes reflected fear.

They might want to escape now... but didn't the others say that nobody would escape because they wouldn't?

If so, just hang up.

And Elias felt it, and from the bottom of his belly, he shouted, and shook up his sword.

"Gina!"

Shit, I got an unexplained voice.

Behind Elias, who thought so, the horn rabbits solidified as a victory, and when the horn rabbits at the rear escaped, they fled simultaneously to cut it off.

All right, I'm a little unwilling, but if we keep going, we'll go to Amilee's.

So Elias chased a horn of rabbits.

Running through the woods in the dark darkness, Elias.

But he was desperate now.

Actually, now he's lost his way. If you lose sight of a horn rabbit herd here, you'll be completely lost in the woods.

Elias is a good level in survival technology, albeit almost amateur.

Even during the devastating incident of the Knights of the Holy Guides, he barely drank and ate until he was helped by bullets and wandered away.

But desperately fleeing horn rabbits are about twice as large, even if you say they are bigger than regular rabbits.

It was also in this forest that the tall Elias chased, branches popping out, slowly chopping up Elias' body and losing sight of it.

Shit, where have you been?

That's what I thought. On Elias' ear, he said, "Pee! And it came to pass, that a sorrowful voice said, Pea!

Over there!

So Elias, desperately going in the direction of his voice, hung three horn rabbits in a trap made of oxen.

"Oh, Ellis, you're tired. What's with your face? You're about to cry."

Amelia said so with a smile.

"Shut up, okay? So, what do we do next?

To Elias, who said a little lightly, when Amiria took the knife out of her magic back, she posed and said to Elias, "Pull something over."

"In the meantime, lend me that sword."

I wonder why? With that in mind, Elias gave Amelia the sword as she was told, and Amelia struck the back of one horn rabbit with momentum, without pulling the sword out.

"Oh, hey, amily."

"Hmm? For now, Holle"

So he said to Elias, Amelia, who gave him the knife, when he grabbed the horn of the fainted horn rabbit, slashed his neck with a knife as it was, and also his belly as it was, and put his hand inside.

"Hey, what are you doing, amily?"

"What, are you looking for a nucleus? I'm in a bit of a hurry, so stay... oh, there it is."

So what Amiria took out was like a little crystal that glowed blue.

"This is what we call the nucleus, and when we take it out of the demon, the demon doesn't disappear.

But the condition is that the demon has passed out or is asleep and unconscious.

Taking it out and dismantling it is something that people who have cooks in their profession do.

By the way, the Knights of Witches (Night Witches) work in canteens and restaurants for a month to get a cook's profession when they join.

Well, if we don't process it faster than that, I just heard the first monster.

If he comes, it could be trouble, so let's hurry.

Ellis, you dig the hole. 'Cause I'm gonna put a horn rabbit's gut in there and hide the trail. "

"Oh......"

That's what Amiria told me, and Elias thought, digging a hole.

The first demon voice you ever hear?

Could it be that voice of mine?

"Hey amily.

The first time you heard a monster's voice, did that voice sound like a horn rabbit from the direction in which it had escaped?

"It's obvious... you, you saw him?

"No... you say you saw... that... sorry, I'm the one who did that voice"

And it came to pass, when he saw Elias, who said so with a smell, that Amiria blew out, and laughed.

"Pu... hahaha, sorry Ellis. There won't be that voice. Gina ~ because...... hahahaha"

"Don't laugh. I don't know why I made that voice."

"Oh, I'm sorry. So, with that knife, will you hit the horn rabbit and stun me?

I'll handle it. "

"... oh"

And it came to pass, saying unto the horn rabbit, that in the eyes of Elias with his sword, he seemed as if he were begging for his life, whispering, Pea, Pea.

Ugh... no, I can't...

"Sorry, amily. I can't..."

"You're such a pitiful man, I'll do this, even Chris. Here, lend it."

Amiria, who said so, when she borrowed a sword from Elias, was handy, dismantled the horn rabbit, and went.

At a time like this, women are strong... I can't do that. If you look at me like that, you can't hurt me.

With that in mind, Elias watched the green blood dripping from Amiria and Horn Rabbit.

Nevertheless, what is this object called a nucleus?

Well, thanks to this, I don't have any trouble with the lights and it helps, so it's good.

That's what Amiria said.

"Is the nucleus strange? The truth is, we don't know either.

However, if you break it, one shilling comes out of it. That's about all I know.

All right, I got it. Ellis, I need you to slash those tree branches, and that's about it, right?

"Okay, I get it."

And Elias said, When he slaughtered the branches out of their abode, Amiria put the broken flesh upon the branches.

"Ellis, take that nucleus (core) and walk forward. That would be fine because it would be an emergency, light.

I'll show you the way. "

Amilia, who said so, went back to the first camp, letting Elias pick up the firewood on the road.

When Amiria arrived at the camp, she quickly and magically lit the firewood, and magically watered out the meat of the horn rabbit and washed it away, two were painted with plenty of vanilla and the other was bought in the Ruthai Empire, with plenty of miso, and baked.

Elias, who had seen how handy he was, had accidentally admired it and accidentally looked at it.

Amilee, if only I could do something about that personality, I would definitely make a good wife, I think.

Well, all of a sudden we got married, and that's just what Chris said about divorce the moment he was born, it sounds like Amilee.

With that in mind, Amiria noticed the gaze she was staring at, and said with a little light.

"Hey, what the..."

"No, you're a good woman if you keep your mouth shut for a long time."

"Ah? What do you mean, Cora?"

"That's it, that. When Amilee got married, and when she got divorced, everyone was surprised, but when she got divorced, I thought," Oh, you're Amilee. "

"So, what do you mean, I'm saying"

You haven't changed a thing since you were a kid.

That's what Elias said, smiling like a child.

As if at this time, when we were young, we both felt nostalgic.

If you think so, there's some kind of weak sound from the woods that pulls your legs together. I felt like I heard it.

There's something!

It was something we both recognized in common.

Soon after, from the old nostalgic air, tension ran all at once, without saying anything to each other, putting out the fire, preparing weapons, becoming back-to-back, protecting each other's backs.

There's something... this is the sound of walking with your legs pulled together. You mean bipedal, human?

But this way of walking, flirting, and slowly, walking like a pull… an undead demon?

But I've never fought an undead demon.

Sure, Iri said that the undead zombie had a head, and Skeleton said that if he didn't attack something like a stone in his body, there would be no damage elsewhere... does Amilee know?

So Elias spoke to Amiria in a low voice.

"Amilee, have you ever fought the undead?

"... None. What about you?"

"Neither do I. But I've heard from Iri about weaknesses and precautions. Zombies aim like heads and skeletons like stones.

What the hell do you think the demons are?

"What I feel is, the hell. What about you?"

"Same goes for me..."

And it came to pass, that Elias, in the midst of the conversation, heard the sound of the fallen, when he that seemed to be his demon made a sound, saying, Dossah.

Fallen?... and then there's no sign of movement.

That's not a demon!

So thought Elias, when he saw Amiria, Amiria seemed to recognize the same.

When they confirmed each other's will with their eyes, they went quietly into the woods without saying anything.

When Elias and Amiria approached each other vigilantly, an eight-year-old human boy fell.

Kid... why are you here?

With that in mind, Elias left perimeter alert to Amiria, and checking the child's pulse, there was still a slight pulse.

"Amelie, what's the perimeter?

"I'm fine. More than that, what is this kid?

These clothes and shoes are worn out, and first of all, the clothes and shoes are not the right size at all... you've been stealing this, this.

If you leave her here this season, she'll freeze to death. "

"We're gonna have to help."

And Elias, who said so, held a child, and said,

―――――――――

But could this child have been in distress?

If so, I have to send him to his parents... in the city on the way, should I leave him to the sheriff's department?

But I can't believe that amylie.

With that in mind, Elias was holding the child and warming it up in front of the burning fire, and there was Amiria.

"Hmm? What is it?"

And Amiria, who said so, said with a little light.

"No, I was wondering if this kid was wrecked in the woods."

"Maybe not.

This kid's clothes and shoes were stolen, no matter what. If you're in a shipwreck, you can ask for help in the house you stole.

I didn't do it because I had to avoid people... bandits or escape from the eyes.

In this case, I guess the latter. This kid's hand is not the hand of a bandit... one way or another, it's like a manual worker's hand.

Besides, this child's body is unusually thin... is the days gone by as long as he goes into the woods, or is he a poor house boy, or... "

I know what Amirie's trying to say.

On the inexplicable books of the Gaston Chamber of Commerce, this overly skinny, carnal worker-like child.

When this is connected, it becomes a hell of a big case.

Heath, are you still going to stay at the Gaston Chamber of Commerce?

When Elias thought about it, he noticed the child.

"Uhhh..."

"Oh, have you noticed?

Elias was kind to the child.

"... uhh... hih!

The child he noticed, obviously threatening Elias, clinging to Amiria's knee.

"Look, Ellis. I'm afraid of your face.

Relieved, that uncle, his face is weird, but he's sweet.

I'm Amiria, and that weird-faced uncle says, "Area sucks." What did you say your name was?

Elias smiled at Amelia's strange face without being angry in front of the child.

And the child also looked at the two and told them if they were a little relieved.

"... teto"

"All right, Tet, are you hungry? All we got is meat, you want some?

And when Amiria, who had said so, was cooking in the burning fire, and cut off the meat of the horn rabbit, and offered it to Tet, he reached out vigilantly at first, and the moment he grabbed the meat, he ate it out vigorously.

"I know you're hungry, but all of a sudden, you're gonna freak out your body.

Eat slowly and little by little. "

So Amilia stroked Tet's head gently, and said, Did Tet understand, or snorted?

"Good boy... how could Tet have fallen in the woods at the place?

"... has escaped"

"Running away?

"No... I've been fleeing the mine"

And when he heard the word of Tet, Elias and Amiria looked at each other.

"Teto, it's gonna be hard, but can you talk to me? Maybe I can help you."

And when Amiria said so, Teto thought for a while, and opened his heavy mouth.

"I was an orphan with no parents, and I grew up in an orphanage in the village of Sixa, in a northern church.

One day I heard that the nobles would send me for adoption, and when I got in the carriage, it was a mine... there were about as many children working there as I did, and if I ran away, I would kill all those who remained, chase them everywhere, catch them and kill them, the security forces, they told me to give up because they were one of us.

But one day, a new girl named Belinda said,

This empire has been at war with the Kingdom of Salz for years.

So we figured out a plan to escape together, to escape to the kingdom of Salz. Because I'm not close to the Empire there, so I thought the chaser would never come.

But... but... "

Tetto, who said so, wore out large tears and clogged the words.

Elias and Amilia could have imagined what would have happened to them in these tears.

And Amilia stroked Tet's head gently, and said as if she were her mother.

"Well done, Teto.

Your sister and uncle will get you out of here to safety, but there's something I need you to help me with. What are we gonna do?

This is going to help the other kids, can you?

And Tet thought for a while, and wiped the tears of the great grain, and looked at Amilia's face, and said,

"Yeah, I'll do anything."

"Well said Tet, that's the man.

Tomorrow, our boss... will see a great man. So I want you to be honest with me about what you know.

After that, I will definitely catch those bad people and help the same kind of children.

Sleep tight today. 'Cause my uncle there will do the lookout. "

It was me, ignoring Elias, who was gesturing, and Amelia said, "When Tet finished eating meat, was he too tired or sleeping with Suyasuya on Amiria's knee pillow?"

"Have you slept yet? You were too tired."

And Amilia, who said so, gazed upon Elias, and said with a serious face.

Ellis, this isn't just about the Gaston Chamber of Commerce.

"Oh, the Northern Church is involved, and worst of all, the Northern Union is involved, and it could be a war.

When it comes to the village of Sixa, there is a bishop of the Northern Church, and all the inhabitants are the followers of the Church… It may come to pass again in Panas. "

What Elias is saying was a massacre of all the inhabitants.

"Right...... with the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, His Excellency is likely to choose that policy.

Besides, Teto said that the Sheriff's Corps was also a member of the Gaston Chamber of Commerce. It could be dangerous to be in Naria. "

"Then I'll be one foot away, I'll go back to Lake City alone, and I'll bring Lynn in. If you transfer space there, you'll be fine.

Right, you can leave now. "

"Right, is that all you got?

But this place, even though it's off the streets, if the sun goes up, there are people in the streets, and there's a high risk of Teto being found, so get back there. "

"Okay, I get it."

And it came to pass, that Elias, who had said so, rose up, and was ready to depart, and Tet arose, and said, Sleeping down.

"... Uncle, where are you going?

"My uncle will bring someone who will take me to safety.

Amilia's Aunt...... "

"Sister!

Amelie... weird place, obsessed.

"Keep your sister safe and quiet, okay?

"... yeah"

To Teto, who said anxiously, Elias laughed with a grin, and jumped on the horse, and ran out on the night road toward Naria the Empire.

―――――――――

It's been a long time since I've been on guard.

With that in mind, Amilia was wary of the streets as she lent Tet Tet her knees.

And it came to pass, when the sun was rising, that a voice was heard coming and going from the side of the street.

Not good, should I hide in the woods?

"Tet, are you awake?

"Yeah......"

"A lot of people are coming. We'll go into the woods and hide."

"Yeah. What about your uncle?

"They'll be here soon, look, put this on. Because it should be warmer than that worn out garment."

Amiria, who said so, put it on Tet when she gave him a coat of military uniform from Magic Buck.

The size of Tet's body was not right, but when Tet wore his coat, he said to Amiria, happily.

"Sister, you're warm"

"That's good"

Amilia, who said so, gently stroked Tet's head.

Well, we just need to get into the woods, but what are we gonna do with the horses?

With that in mind, Amiria felt signs of men from the woods behind her.

There's someone!

Amelia, who thought so, grabbed the sword with her hand in the magic back of her hips and was on guard, four men came out and one of them spoke to Amelia.

"Hey, what are you doing here?

Are they from the Gaston Chamber of Commerce?

"Whatever's good. Get over there now."

"You're a prestigious, sister...... hmm? The clothes the kid is wearing are Coalition uniforms.

The rank is Colonel, and its Troop Chapter is Knights of Witches (Night Witches)... Thunder Emperor, Amelia McGregor!

"Chip, I've become a celebrity, too."

"Well, no. Colonel McGregor, will you give me that child? Maybe it's the kid we're looking for.

I can't say I don't like it. It's a felony for a soldier to break the law. "

Are they from the Gaston Chamber of Commerce?

What do we do? We can fight here, but Teto's in the way...... hmm, space transfer?

Amiria's vision showed black smoke of space transfer over the head of the man she was speaking to.

Lynn!

Amiria thought so, and the moment she held Tet in her arms and prevented him from looking at the men, a spear came out of the space transfer and blew the man's skull away.

"Hey, what the fuck!

"Why!"

It was before the eyes of men who did not know what had happened that Lynn came out of the spatial metastasis.

"You did this, just..."

Lynn's spear ruthlessly pierces the chest of a man threatening Lynn.

Seeing the sight, one of the two remaining fled to the woods, but in the attack of Lin's spatial metastasis, he was pierced through his heart from behind and fell abruptly.

And it was Amiria who stopped at the moment she tried to pierce the spear against the man who had lost his hips in the appearance of Lynn, who had killed three people in an instant.

"Lynn, that's it!

In Amilia's voice, Lynn's spear tip stopped perfectly in front of the man's face, and the man was relieved.

"He might have some information. I'll keep taking him."

When Amiria said so, Lynn nodded.

Eventually, when Elias came, the Amirias went back to Lake City with Lin's spatial transfer.
