Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
456. Frozen Memories 1
"... hah, hah..."
Between house and house. Hiding in the shade, Lenore breathed.
"Where have you been?"
"They must still be nearby, find them!"
While listening to the voices sounding from the front street, he adjusts his disturbed breathing.
(... here...)
It was a compartment that I hadn't visited very often, but the surrounding landscape gives me an approximate prediction.
(... this is the end of Milkerm Street.... then...)
At last, half.
Two keys remaining until the desired de-entry.
I think there's still so much distance from here, I'm going to get distracted.
In addition - if we make it, there will be soldiers deployed near the de-entry.
……
Looking at the sky from between the buildings, the cloud-covered heaven was merely silent.Now, the glittering snow has completely subsided.Nevertheless, I don't know what will happen in a few minutes.
Sew the gap between houses and just head northwest.
Don't worry about Meltina.If you're wrong, you won't get caught.
(... there... it wasn't 'him' who was ambushing me in that empty space)
Predictions made while looking at the map in advance.The guerrilla boy appeared there in front of Lenore and the others - but that was not the case.
In that case,
(... where are you now...)
He is elsewhere.And Bergrette, I'm sure.
Of the remaining chasers, these two should not confront each other from the front as Lenore.Then there are the best soldiers in the field, known as the Whites.
Kill footsteps, breaths, signs, and everything, and cross the shade from shadow to shade, lest they be found.
But now it's daytime. And there's a lot of soldiers out there looking for us.
"There he is! Over here!"
"....."
It is impossible to escape without ever finding out.
Beyond, knock, shake, hide.
We just have to do this over and over again.
The sky remained silent as if watching a skirmish between people taking place in the lower realm.
"In the future, become a fine chanter to serve the royal palace, the Mage. Like my mom."
The words of Lenin, the country's greatest court chanter (mage), were the most important indicator of Lenore's youngest days.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Lenore, who had a bright and innocent personality, encouraged her to study with a heart that wanted to see her happy face, and steadily flowered her talent as a casting magician "Mage".
I was taught to focus on practical knowledge and standing around, as the theory on the desk was useless.It was never easy, but I didn't think it was painful or that I wanted to stop.
My mother praises me when I have accomplished difficult things.With that smile in front of me, I quickly blew up the shavings and the like.
"Kaaa-sama, you've made a big frustration!"
"Kaaa-sama, I was able to make a little snowstorm!"
Every time I reported it, my mother was as happy as she was.Such a mother's smile was everything to the girl.
It was only a secondary thing, such as the increasing skill of the casting magician "Mage".I wanted my mother to praise me for my dedication to my studies, and as a result, it only led to the girl's growth.
"Mother, today I am officially the court of Badalnois | Windsor!"
"Mother, I've been awarded two names this time."Frozen Snow Storm Ventisca"... It's a great honor to be named after the great ice sperm of ancient times...! "
Lenin was as happy as she was about Lenore.
"I praised the priest today. Ehehe"
"Today, my sketch led to the arrest of an arranger."
Every day, I want to see my mother's face that makes me happy every time I make a report and even do my job.
Happiness, no dissatisfaction.
As I was walking around the city, I occasionally crossed paths with children of the same age wearing pure white robes.He is a college student at the Church of God of Cuareness.
When I see them talking so pleasantly, I feel a little bit... really a little jealous.I've never been able to call myself a friend before.
But it's okay. I have a mother.
Besides, what they learn is fixed a long time ago.... so you don't have to go. in a place called a school.
"Oh, why...?"
Six months as a court chanter (mage).
That was the first anomaly.When I came back from an assignment, I was packing in my room.
"That's funny, why not..."
All three of the recording crystal stones I was carrying for spare parts are gone.There is no problem because I didn't use it, but I don't know where it has disappeared.I didn't take it out in the first place, so I shouldn't have dropped it...
Two other court chanters (Mages) accompanied me on my assignment, so I asked them.
Yeah? Don't you know?
"Ahahaha, have you lost it?You're a good kid, Lenore. "
I didn't think it was particularly strange at that time.
Yes, she's right. She was just a kid.
On that day, near the city of Eubasullah, there were reports of C-rank resentment demons, and Lenore, his colleague Mage, and several soldiers went to the scene.
"Lenore, we'll help you.Don't shoot so badly, concentrate on chanting.A powerful blow, please.Yeah, I'll do my best... "
His name is Androise Les Orlandes.She was one of the most prestigious housemaids in Badalnois.
Follow her instructions and focus on chanting in the rear while watching the battle in the front.
Now, Lenore!
Yes!
Blow your enemies away with an all-out snowstorm.Put your hands forward.
Yike-!
The moment I unleashed my power,
"----huh?"
Gakin, it's frozen. A snowstorm broke out.It froze the sleeves of the robes Lenore was wearing.
That's not all. It was a full blow.The aftermath of the blizzard instantly covered the right half of Lenore - precisely the robe it was wearing.
"... ahh!?"
Ice that corrodes clothing.It was so sharp that it pierced Lenore's arm.
"Ugh...!"
As a general rule, I will not be hurt by my divine chanting technique "Oracle".But ice attributes can be an exception in a sense.An object that physically touches and weighs ice returns its properties as a solid without feeling cold air when it touches itself.In other words, it creates sharp ice, and if it pierces, even the surgeon will be wounded.
Ice stuck to clothes is more pronounced, and if you're not a master, you'll be out of the control of the surgeon, so the cold will also mercilessly attack you.
…………
As a result of that blow, Lenore's consciousness, exposed to intense cold air, quickly drifted away.
I let go and my clothes froze.
With that in mind, Lenore's thoughts fell to the deep bottom.
"Ahahaha, Lenore is also an outsider.I can't believe the Loeb's talisman, The Rune, came off.You have to be careful. "
Androise laughed.
The talisman "Rune". It is a necessary amulet for the caster "Mage", who protects what he is wearing from his triggered magic.
People born in this world... Especially in the casting magician "Mage" and other deep houses, learn how to make things first when you have a heart.
It is common to sew onto clothing, but it is adapted to the occasion depending on what you wear.
In response to this incident, my mother Lenin blued her face and wondered about her daughter."It's about your life," he said.I worried too much.
Even this "penta" can self-destruct without knowing how to use his power.It was called "God's Choice" in ancient times. For example, if the flamethrower did not wear the protective talisman "Rune", he would fly into his clothes and be wrapped in fire.
The rune, a protective talisman to prevent such situations.For the chanter "Mage", it is also important to call it a lifeline.
That's why it's impossible.
I can't believe I accidentally forgot, let alone peeled it off without knowing.
Lenore is good.It's the daughter of Lenin, the best in the country.It's like a promised future, isn't it?... even if there was a mistake like this the other day. Fufufu. "
... I'm late to find out.
Just look forward and try even harder.I thought that was fine.
But...
I can't see my hands trying to pull my legs from behind just looking forward.
It was no longer uncommon for personal belongings to disappear, and in severe cases, the surgeon was struck clearly from behind as he went down the stairs.Staying aggressively and looking back, there was no one.It was only for the first time, and then the opponent stopped hiding.
"Ah, wow. That's the star of hope.They don't fall down the stairs. "
Looking down from the top, Androise laughed.
"No, don't get me wrong. Practical practice?Look, you don't know when or where the attack comes from, do you? Ahahaha. "
She wasn't alone anymore.
I was sprinkled with nothing, and when I realized it, I was isolated.
I learned later, but originally everyone was dissatisfied.
The very existence of Lenore, the youngest person in history, who became a court chanter (mage) at just 11 years of age.
... just look forward and try even harder.I thought that was fine.
But there were too many things that I couldn't see.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as my mother is there, Lenore Schne-Growthwitz can move on.
My mother is the only one who recognizes me in this world...
"Oh, my God, you're so loud. Are you going to be proud?"
One day, a year passed since becoming a court chanter (mage).
The words, which were suddenly bathed by her mother, cut deep into the girl's heart.It feels like something invisible in your body has been slashed.
A report that I should have wanted to be commended as usual.
I wanted to forget about the malicious harassment at the palace here, and I was reporting something to my mother if it was okay.... of course, all the nasty things lie down.
But instead of rejoicing, Mother distorted her face.
When she saw her daughter who stood up unexpectedly, she felt as if she had returned to me.
"Shit, I'm sorry I said such a terrible thing.Mom, what's wrong with you.... "
And I hugged her.
At this time, the girl realized that her mother was not an omnipotent being, but a human being.Sometimes I'm in a good mood, sometimes I'm in a bad mood.I decided not to report it for my own convenience.
Renore, who loved and respected her mother wholeheartedly, thought so naturally.
If you don't like it, you can leave it in your own mind.As long as you can endure it.
After a while, I was with my mother and finally realized something.
Lenin's chanter, Maggie, was clearly in trouble.Lack of concentration, fine controls, etc., were not working well.
But I didn't tell Lenore.
I can't show my daughter how weak she is.As the country's greatest court chanter (mage), you can't look pathetic.That's what I think.
Inside Lenore, who saw the figure, there was courage.
Even my mother does her best not to leak a weak voice even if it is difficult.I need to be stronger, too.
What is harassment? There's nothing wrong with that...
"Lenore, shut up a little bit."
Eventually, my mother stopped feeling anything but frustration at her daughter's words.
Regardless of the content, it didn't take long before I started to feel disgusted with the daughter I was talking to.
"... I'm sorry, Mother"
The bright shadow from the girl always disappeared, and she began to speak in an unnatural way that looked at the other person's face.
That's why my mother said, "Root darkness," "I don't know what you're thinking," "If you have something to say, say it clearly."
To conclude, my mother was a little mentally ill.
There must have been a struggle raising a daughter by herself.There must have been a lot of pressure on countries to show the norm as the most important.
"If you have time for me, polish the accuracy of your technique.I'm listening. The other day, at Uncle Briniton's request, you had a rough look. "
No. It was' them 'who set it up...
It came out to my throat and I swallowed it desperately.I can't say anything extra to my mother. I don't want to say it.
Alright? If there was a big meltdown that one day the Protective Character Rune was peeling off, it would be a matter of trust. Stay with me. "
He didn't say, "Your life is at stake."
But I don't mind.
I have to do my best to get my mother back on track now.
I have to show my results and reassure my mother that she doesn't have to feel unnecessary pressure....
"Mr. Lenore, you're not feeling well right now."
"... I'm sorry."
While placing his hand on the left side of his back and near his flank, Lenore laid his eyes down.
The minister who stroked his splendid beard talked slightly.
"Hmm... I'm still on the front line, and even if something happens to you, it's troublesome.Even here, I can't apologize to Lenin. "
My colleagues, mainly Androise, are interrupting me more and more often than not.
The other day, my brother Svorne came to the Mansion unusual, leaving a thankful message.Don't act ashamed of Grosvitz's name.
"How is Lord Lenin?"
"... yes... it looks like something's still going on..."
"Hmm, mother and daughter together, it's a little far from here...."
"... yes, no.... not yet.... I can still do my best."
"I see. Actually, I'm getting a request from someone."
"... yes"
"I need some help from the imperial chantress (Mage).It's very good, too. "
The minister, with his clumsy eyes closed, laughs innocently, as if he were a prank boy.It's a trick that doesn't suit me, but it was an expression that made me feel affectionate.
"That's why I want you to take it.... hmm. No, I'm sure you'll be surprised. "
On the outskirts of one city, the mansion was like a castle of ice.
White and majestic, it was also different from the Ice Glow Palace's "Palace Shell On" and Svorne's Mansion.
It was a beautiful building full of qualities that seemed like a fairy tale.
"... wow..."
Holding it down on the left side of your back and around your flank, only your breath of exclamation leaks.
Looking up stunned, he opened the door and the person appeared.
Does he look like he's about 20 years old?It is the incarnation of pure white. There is also skin that feels like falling out.It also has smooth hair that reaches the back.Cats tend to have big eyes.Long eyelashes adorn its edges.A well-balanced, luxurious body.Gothic dressy outfits.
A mysterious snow sperm appeared.So illusory.
She smiles when she admits her appearance.
"Oh, you're the guard this time?You're such a cute little girl.Thank you very much. "
"... hah... hah, hah, yes.... my name is Les, Lenore... Schne-Growthwitz...!"
"Fufu, don't be so nervous.Nice to meet you, Mr. Lenore. - My name is Mertina El Di Snow. "
An elegant thank you, not to be named.
No one in this Badalnois knows her name.
This was the encounter with Mertina, known as the hero of the Salvation.
