Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

That day Cordelia was coming to the woods of Vienna, one of the nearby woods.

The sky was clear in the morning, so suddenly Cordelia told Ronnie and Carla, "Let's go to Vienna." Ronnie was surprised and said, "I'm afraid of later. I'm afraid of Master Elvis," he muttered, but Cordelia pretended not to hear him. If we don't find out, we'll be fine. Carla looked like she didn't really know what kind of forest Vienna was.

The forests of Vienna are said to have streams flowing in the centre and inhabited by the Holy Spirit of many waters. The Holy Spirit of water is said to be the protector of rest and to heal people. But on the other hand, people don't often visit this place. Spirit-dwelling forests have a slightly higher incidence of demons than other forests. So if you're going to visit, you're going to need an escort, and I can't say enough that you're safe with the escort.

But in spite of such a place, Cordelia was beginning to enter and exit this forest after the age of eleven. I keep it to Elvis, by the way. I've met demons several times while I was in and out, but I haven't had anything to worry about because Ronnie and Ishma are here. Conversely, it should be called practical training, or Cordelia herself had succeeded in developing a little combat ability against demons. I can't use witchcraft or swordsmanship that would destroy demons like my brother, but the way I used plants and turned them into geese was one of the good witchcraft.

(... Well, I don't plan on becoming a combat lady, but escort is important, right?)

Cordelia shrugged as she suppressed her hair and regained her mind as the wind soared.

"There is more magic in these woods than in the city. So, Carla, your magic might be easy to find."

Cordelia told Carla that from above her beloved horse, riding Ronnie's horse. But Karla was more surprised by the clear rocks that were colliding with the water than that. The closer this forest rock is to the water, the more transparent it is. This is what the magic of the forest is making you do, and if you bring it back to the king's capital, for example, it will turn it into just stone. So it's a sight you won't see unless you come to this forest.

If you don't know, it's early to see - yes, as Cordelia thought, Carla was feeling the effect of magic on the forest with her skin. Carla, who had been stunned for a while, eventually opened her mouth slowly.

"This too, magic?

"Magic...... maybe. You can't see a landscape like this without magic."

"Magic is so beautiful"

Carla, who jumped without sound from Ronnie's horse, looked purely surprised.

Cordelia also listens to the words as she gets off the horse. Carla continued.

"I really didn't have a very good image of magic."

"I wonder why?

"'Cause fairy tale witches aren't all bad people. Some of them are savior witches, but even then there will be hostile bad witches."

Carla pointed her mouth as she said so. Cordelia smiled bitterly. Because you can't deny it. Cordelia, however, returns her claims in doubt.

"Then why did you want to work in a mansion that would use magic?

"... because I have money. I'm poor, but money matters. And yet learning magic - I hadn't thought about that at all. Ronnie's a good teacher of letters, and he doesn't teach magic to you."

"Carla, please, remember to read some more words and air. Your tone is pissed off lately because of the way I talk to my lady."

To Carla, who did not hesitate to say her own claims, Ronnie interrupted the conversation by placing her hand on her forehead as if she were 'here'. Apparently Carla's attitude is diagonal to the imagination, even with Ronnie the boulder. But Carla is the same claim as Ronnie.

"But I think I just figured it out a little bit. Lady said she wasn't a bad witch."

"Is that what you thought at first?

"I accept it so lightly, it was suspicious the other way around."

Karla, who shrugs her shoulders lightly and exposes them, is not bad at all, but said slightly dissatisfied.

"I wish the lady was a little worse witch"

"Oh, why?

"Then I think the witch's been hard on me - too. I'm just a paycheck thief trying to make you learn how to spell."

Cordelia laughed quietly at those words. And I said, "Hey, Carla. Look at that," he said, pointing all the way at the flowers blooming on the water. "Wow," Carla raised a rare voice.

"Ma'am, what are those white flowers called?

"Swiren, right. They say it's a flower that reflects a pure heart. Strong vitality, too."

"Swiren......"

Apparently she had never heard or seen it, and she repeated it in a small voice. Cordelia keeps her words to Karla like that.

"Those flowers change color with the magic they give you."

With that said, Cordelia flied her magic gently toward the flowers. The flowers changed color from white to light peach.

"You want to try, too?

"But I don't know how to do it."

"The teacher is here. Ronnie?"

"Yes, yes, are you talking about extracurricular classes today?"

Didn't you come to see me today, and Ronnie changed her attitude to what the teacher looked like, even though she stayed away a little.

"Well, it's easier to understand if there's anything you can do... but you have to try it on hand first"

That said, Ronnie reached over and handed over to Swillen, which was relatively close by. And he cut off the flowers under the candles, and gave them to Karla.

"I'm not very good at sensory expressions... but somehow, you know, I'm haunted by fluffiness?

Carla didn't shake her head immediately to Ronnie's words and showed her how to think a little. I don't know for sure. But I guess I felt something.

"Well, I hope by the end of the day even the colors of the flower abyss will change"

Ronnie did throw up words to watch the likely harvest in the long run.

After all, Karla had not been able to change the color of the flowers after noon.

But gradually her senses are sharpening, and she can see, 'Sure, there's something there'. She looked more nerve-sharpening than usual. It also seemed to affect Ronnie's slight change of swiren to water color when he said, "Well, Ronnie can change it and show it to me." Will Ronnie for Carla be closer to the competition than being a teacher?

"I know what color Carla will change the flowers to."

Cordelia said that to Carla in a bad fight. Then Karla raised her face from Swillen as she was played, "You should never say it!!," he stabbed Cordelia with a goose. Cordelia laughed at the way it looked.

"But you should take a break. Concentration is something you can't keep out."

And Cordelia called Carla and Ronnie out of the shade. Ronnie is delighted with the break, but Carla seems very dissatisfied. Though it was good to come to the shade of the tree, it looked like I said it was pretty shabby.

"I can feel the warm magic coming from this tree," Cordelia told Carla, still naturally not concerned.

"Hey, why don't you get some sleep?"

"Huh?"

"Sleep is the quickest way to regain the magic you've consumed, isn't it? I'm sure I'll be back."

That said, Cordelia rolled all the way over the grass. It's a bold act that the ladies have never done since reincarnation. Besides, Ronnie was surprised, but didn't say anything to Cordelia, who closed her eyes and felt quietly magical. Carla wasn't surprised, by contrast, but she fell asleep beside Cordelia, "I've consumed magic. I don't really feel anything... well, something seems to make me feel good," she said. Then I guess it felt good to be out there, Carla, who had felt the grass for a while, said, "Why don't you sleep with Ronnie, too?," he invited. Ronnie leaked her sigh as if she were frightened.

"Carla, you forgot this is a forest full of demons, right? I'm an escort."

"Uh. I don't feel well, though. Hey, lady?

Carla asked Cordelia for her consent. Ronnie tried to say, "So no," and showed Cordelia on the way. "I don't know, a little bit."

"See, that's why it's good... is that okay!?

"That's what the lady said."

To his surprise Ronnie, Carla blocked her ear just when she shut up. Cordelia glanced at Ronnie. Ronnie looked into his eyes and took a little breath. "I wonder if that's such a surprise," Carla shouted.

"... if that's what the lady says"

Ronnie sat down and brought it to the tree. Apparently, he's not even willing to fall asleep.

And I shrugged.

"You haven't made a mistake yet, have you?"

and.

Clouds flow and winds make noise. A comfortable space anyway, with the sound of rocking trees, the sound of running water and the occasional sound of birds. Cordelia thought it felt good. I don't want to destroy this space.

That's why I really thought it was a waste.

Cordelia kept her eyes closed and strongly remembered. It's a stretch.

The grasshopper leaves himself to the sensation of life and pours his magic into the magic that he considers. And he glowed grasshoppers, and let them grow rapidly. The rapidly growing grasshopper was capturing Carla, who was trying to grip the knife over the cordelia and wave it down. And on Carla's neck, Ronnie's knife, which would have moved quickly, captures it all the way to inches.

"Think you really slept?

"... eh"

Cordelia briefly said, Cordelia slowly woke up her body. I knew this would happen.

"You... you're really here to kill me, aren't you?

"Eh,"

I wasn't surprised. I had a hunch about it originally, and I knew this was gonna happen, and Cordelia...

"You're in the Dark Alliance."

"... yes"

"There are few footsteps, and I'm pretty light on myself. I have the technology... yet, awkward. I can't believe there was no sound today when I got off the horse, because I unconsciously relaxed, right? There's no way a normal person wouldn't be able to make footsteps. But is that why you were entrusted with the assassination of a child?

……

"And I really don't think I want to do that"

"... what makes you think that?"

I wonder if it's because you've been lost on me for a long time.

If you're serious, you should be able to move faster. Yes, Cordelia said, grabbing Carla's arm. Carla showed a reluctant bare gesture, but her body tangled in grasshoppers doesn't move as she thinks.

"You're under a very powerful curse. I wonder if he's getting a curse all over his right arm. If they implanted this much contaminated technique, they'd finally disobey orders."

……

Carla answers nothing. I was just grinning my lips with regret. Cordelia calls Ronnie's name as she sees how it goes. Ronnie finally got his hands off Carla's neck there. And I threw Carla's sleeve up.

"Wow, I didn't think so, but it's more complicated than I thought... I mean, I guess I should disarm it, this..."

"You'll do it, won't you?

"Let's get to where we can."

Yes, Ronnie said to relieve the earlier pressures.

The curse to which Karla was subjected was that she would suffer if she acted against the will of the operator. It's naturally one of the forbidden sorceries. Cordelia thought that Carla's magic was sometimes strong originally and that the suffering would have been amplified.

Curses are often complicated. And as Ronnie says, the curse Carla was under was a very complicated one.

But Cordelia was still treading in this clear place that Ronnie might be able to disarm it if he had the power to do so. If Ronnie's ability, he can break down and crush the magic.

Cordelia slowly approached the riverside and soaked the water when she first left it to Ronnie. And water Carla's arm where the tattoo is. Somewhat this would also help. And to further help, Cordelia pulled out herbs native to the waterfront. Sage.

The sage, originally called the herb of salvation, has a very strong antioxidant effect. I had therefore heard in previous life that houses with sage said that there would be no dead people. On top of that, the sage of this world was engulfed with a very strong and sober magic. So Cordelia thought that amplifying the power could be one of the countermeasures to the curse. I had brought the sage from home once, but if you have something planted, you should use it. Especially when dealing with living magic like this one.

Maybe Ronnie's power alone can disarm it, of course. But if you don't have stronger powers than the cursed to break the curse, it's not infrequent that you get caught 'eating together' and share the curse.

Even with Sage, Ronnie's eyes were serious on the back of what seemed an unscrupulous word, even though it did not involve a dangerous mission. Cordelia also instilled magic in Sage and hit Carla with that power. Carla raised her voice for a moment complaining of the pain, but it was immediately bitten and swallowed.

"Gu......"

Ronnie's forehead seeps through the procedure with her fingers.

Breathing is rough, tension is increasing, and the air is tense.

"Ahhh... I wish I'd abandoned my apprentice halfway too..."

Only Ronnie's voice is far from nervous, however, and the phase of nervousness remains the same. The aftermath also passed into Cordelia's hands, and he was painfully feeling the power of that curse. Little did I hear Ronnie say that to you, "Lady, you can't get involved and eat together, well, hang in there," and you're not willing to give up any more.

That shouldn't have been long in time. But we all felt as if it had been a terribly long time.

Eventually the light played out, and although Carla's arms left a blurry mark, the cursing ceremony had disappeared.

Ronnie had fallen asleep on the grass and breathed up as if she had taken a full walk. That doesn't change Cordelia much either. Put one hand on the ground and exhale rough breaths.

"... duh, duh"

Ronnie, still a rough breath, said to Carla, who had made her tears pass on but had not grasped the situation. "The lady intended to lift your curse from the beginning," he said.

"I'm the one with the little kid taking this too, and as soon as I got the situation out, I thought it was over with disarming him and letting him get away with it... well, that's why the lady couldn't care less"

"... why? Worried about the chaser?

Cordelia shook her head at Carla, who was stunned.

"Though I may have wanted to see how you move and what you think... I wanted to make a request to you"

That said, Cordelia cut off one of her own hair with magic.

And I said it as I let Carla grip it.

"First of all, pretend you've got a handle on it. And then... can you tell me your real name?

Cordelia grinned.

After half the night, a short distance away from the Wang capital is the detachment of the Qi.

Carla had Cordelia's hair and stepped into her own agate, faceless and dim. There was a witch who imbued herself with magic - the Lord of this Dark Alliance. The witch turns her back on the entrance and hangs herself in a chair.

Carla proceeded to the room without saying anything, placing one Cordelia's hair on the central table. The hair has enough magical residual incense to be immediately noticed if you are capable of feeling magic.

"... apparently, this is the first time you've been able to work. I feel a rare wave of magic."

Yes, the witch said without looking at Carla. Carla answered nothing.

"I thought I was going to make some pretty good moves, but I was just going to do it because I'm more in love than I thought."

………

"What? I can't believe I'm complimenting you, but I'm not happy."

Laughing lusciously, the witch finally looked back...... and realized. Behind Karla, to have two humans in hoods. The witch frowns at the signs of being pushed to death.

Meanwhile, the man in that hood sighed what could be called a witch turning around or no or exaggerating.

"I wondered what kind of beauty you are having fun with these kids... wasn't it as good as I thought? Besides, I didn't know the person behind you wouldn't notice this one, even though he erased the signs. Am I better?

In those words, the witch hoisted her eyebrows.

"Carla, I didn't tell you to bring people in. I curse you both... Yikes?!

Before the witch could finish saying it, the shadow stuck a dagger in the witch's throat. The suddenly popping shadow was flying its hood back. And screw the witch down.

"I've been crushing a few places with the intention of getting used to my shoulders before I got here, but if I did, I'd be damned. Ma'am, did you aim for wheat, including Kaina Village, because you lost a lot of profit?

Ronnie's face out of the hood was unparalleled cold. And asked the witch in a sharp voice. That's what I told him. "This, Ronnie. Little lady's gonna be scared," his boss says. But there is a lot of air with my boss that I am in a state of imminent war and that I am no longer willing to miss a witch. The witch struck her tongue.

"Seems a little usable when it comes to forbidden curses, but on the contrary, I don't know you're a witch who can only be cursed, even if it's lifted. This is the fairy tale witch herself."

Ronnie shook his head for Christ's sake, and paid off the foot of a witch who tried to activate the curse with anger. The witch fell into abundance. In the meantime, Ronnie moves handsomely to the next action.

"At this close range, it's not as magical as that."

That's what Ronnie said as she tied the witch's hand with her magical chains, sighing in a big sigh.

"Something clapped out. I can't believe the home base was the thinnest. I thought there was someone stronger."

"... from now on, it's like you've been crushing our aside"

"I crushed it. It was your daughter's life, wasn't it? The rest of the way, my predecessors are on their way. You don't seem to have the means to communicate information faster than your sister."

"What? Crushed? You think I believe that?

Ronnie looked down but laughed with her nose at the witch who looked like she was laughing.

"Who do you think we are? He's a Pamela magician."

and.

At the same time, Cordelia was preparing a single report.

"The” right report ”to your father is seriously verbal... I wonder if the written upside has wiped out the Dark Alliance by a report from the girl who came looking for help... I didn't even let him get hurt, and if he sticks it out to the right place, you're done. … keep quiet about going to Vienna"

After breaking Carla's curse, the three hurried back to Pameladia's mansion. And Cordelia showed Carla the bounty neck list. As expected, the majority of the members of the Dark Alliance where Carla was, it was the difference in the prize money, with their names and likenesses on it. There were some that weren't listed, but if we keep the base down, we'll figure it out. Needless to say Cordelia thought it was going to be a little easier to handle afterwards for that.

Cordelia herself, of course, was just not allowed to get into the enemy land (begged Ronnie to quit if he wanted to), and if the Lord of Magic was nearby even though he had his hair because of it in the first place, it would all be meaningless. So Cordelia was finishing the report exactly while they were working.

"It was never a massive dark guild, though I would use a ban... but it would have been as much of a restraint"

The kid did it to me. I don't know if it gets that far. But Cordelia herself doesn't want that much. No, it would be nice to pass it on, but that would be fine if they just recognised that there would be no forgiveness if they got their hands on Pamela at least.

Cordelia also knew there had originally been frequent raids on Pameladia. And every time you do, you're out of it. But for that reason, I am sorry to be seen down as so raw that I think I can make a frontal breakthrough. Most of all, it has never been a big place before. I know. Something with some power doesn't fit in for it, such as attacking Pamela Media. But that's not why we're talking about failing to eradicate featherworms.

"I'm going to do some herbal research... well, sometimes, or..."

A few days ago, I said to my father, 'I want to try to crush one dark guild'. Cordelia, who had completed it for a moment, looked out the window and said, "Carla... no, maybe Lara could help us improve the stationery." The stars were still shining beautifully today.
