Egret

The smell of blood from the wind was very dark.

Judas gets off the horse and informs Edan of the situation.

“Something must have happened to Lan. I have to go back.”

“Yes, sir. ”

Edan, who was quick to notice, quickly understood what he meant. When he sends a simple call, all the knights he was watching get off the horse.

When ready, Uni creates a wind and draws a circle around the group like a sorcerer. I want to use a high-end spirit that moves me straight to the place I remember once.

Soon, when the "Indian of the Wind" launched, the group was surrounded by all the green winds, including by the end of the year.

Pot!

I wanted a strong air stream to wrap around me, and suddenly the scene changed.

As soon as I arrived, the flames soared in front of my eyes. A blazing fire lit up the evening sky like the middle of the day.

The heat pushes the hook and Sage, who covers his face with his arm, raises his head with surprise.

“Lan's house...! ”

Borat Castle was on fire. Surprised by the fire, the horses grumble roughly.

“Damn it." Ran! Where are you! ”

Baikal roars around, but Pixie is nowhere to be seen.

Judas grazed the grass with his own hands, not even in spite of the burning fire. The juicy blood came out on my fingers.

‘Bloodstain.’

Not long after the incident, the blood has not hardened yet.

I looked closely and saw that someone's blood was pouring on the floor.

"Behind the house. But there's a situation right now, huh?

Uni sighs with her arms crossed.

It was then.

“Argh!”

I heard someone screaming.

Judas ran straight to the back of the house where he heard the sound. Between the burning wooden pillars, there was a redder bloodstain than a flame.

I faced a Borat Nymph looking back at him with his blood turned upside down.

“What the hell..... ”

Moaning flows between the followers. Hell was spread out before my eyes.

Carney said in a grumpy voice.

"Pixie certainly hates killing, but it's not because she's weak.

Argh! A man nearby howls with his hands covered in blood.

When I looked closely, my hands were cut off and I flew away. Such injuries, however, were better than fortunate. Around the tree stalk, the dead body was strangled or pierced through the chest.

Standing in the middle of the body, Ran looked different than before.

His stubborn eyes, his torn clothes, and his graceful braided hair were scattered.

In the meantime, the unmistakable dancing light that caught people's gaze reveals itself and creates a sensual atmosphere.

With purple hair loosened under her beautiful face like a goddess of the night, she waved in the heat of the wind with only the edges of her shimmering dress.

"Oh, my God, you did it right. Normal Pixie would have chosen to leave her residence and run away when she felt in danger.

In the first place, I don't think it's easy to put that fiction in the ordinary category.

Yes, I do.

Ran was an undeniable nerd fixie, starting with a peculiar taste that already enjoyed bugcookies.

But this is weird. You weren't a murdering mutant, were you? I can't believe I can upset that much of Pixie who was stuck in a house by herself so quietly.

"If it's human power, it's human power.

"Woong, aren't you angry that the house burned down?

“You devil! ”

The spirits stared at the side where they heard the sound, not shouting.

There were still survivors. Judging by the situation, Ran seems to have been brutally massacred, but Judas knows that this is not the case.

‘Weapons of mass murder in specialty armor difficult for the general public to obtain. Knowing that the opponent was a plant egg, he set the fire first. You're the ones who've been planning on picking up Pixie from the start. ’

They were mercenaries who had been instructed to fight witches.

Ran handed over information about her at the grocery store where she was trading regularly. Today is the day of the trade and all information about the place that appears mainly with the place of the trade has gone into the hands of mercenaries.

There were many who wanted the witch to disappear just because it was so ominous.

If Lan hadn't used a radical method, it would have been her, not humans, who are bleeding here now.

The tree stalk, which had already strangled the dead body, sank to the ground.

A mercenary staring at the blue tired face of a dead comrade grinds his teeth and shouts.

“I was tempted to pretend to be a naive virgin. You were an enchanting, man-eating witch! ”

“I never seduced you. You burned my house down first. ”

“Shut up, you wicked witch! ”

“ ……. ”

Ran shut up and stared at the remaining mercenaries.

Unlike the mysterious purple hair, the pupils were as dark as black as if they were cut open to the night sky.

The reason Judas didn't get right in the middle was because of her eyes.

The black pupil, shaken like a wave full of glass, did not end up crying.

Judas, however, recognized the wounds hidden in it.

‘You are unbearable now. ’

Getting used to it didn't hurt. The pain felt by humans and fairies is no different.

I just got used to being patient.

As long as it's alive, everyone's wounds are equally painful.

“...... why did you burn down my house that ‘Dad’ built and try to kill me? ”

Lan grabs the edge of the torn skirt.

“Why do you call me a demon? ”

She really didn't understand.

Ran has never harmed anyone in his life. Rather, I did the good deed of rescuing and returning those who were lost and wandering in the deep mountains.

In the process, I was mostly surprised by her bizarre taste, but I didn't care if I ran away.

I just didn't want to see people die in front of me, so I helped. I bought a misunderstanding as a witch and took a finger, but I didn't really care until there.

The problem was the murder of the existence itself.

Just being afraid and reluctant and wanting to step on life to get it out were different weights to accept.

Ran had no idea why he had to be killed.

And the mercenaries who came to eliminate her were not merciful enough to solve that question.

“Die!"

A sharp blade flies at Lan's heart.

Lan, who was bowing helplessly, sat still slowly. I didn't even think to stop it. Even if I was stabbed like this, it wouldn't be so bad.

But at that moment, huge rocks rose from the ground, blocking the attack.

Kwagaga-Gang!

It was a solid boulder, but instead of a prick, the sword that held the side blade and swinged it was stuck with loud friction without bouncing off.

The mercenary, struck by the wrist, stares at the abruptly rising rock with a frowning impression.

“What is this again?! ”

"Hehe, Tonida.

I didn't hear a voice, but a small spirit that materialized sat at the end of the sword.

Suddenly, Tony shows up, and the mercenaries' eyes twitch.

Let's do this for a while! I want Igrett to hold you back.

Tony twirls his fingers with a smile. Then a pile of dirt rose up from all over the place, like a woodpecker.

Laryngoscope!

Suddenly, the dirt on the mercenaries' ankles hardened and turned into rock.

A scream of panic and horror erupted among those who fell asleep with their legs in the rocks.

“ ……! ”

Then Lan, who was hesitant to sit down, sat down on his knees to adjust his eyes to the warm golden eyes that looked at him.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah……. ”

Glub.

The tears, which were just about to overflow with black eyes, poured down on Ran's cheeks, even as if they were allowed to.

Judas threw up Lan's back without giving a look to a mercenary who couldn't budge with his legs tied.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh. ”

Ran buried his face in Judas' arms and found a father who knew neither his face nor his name.

Of course, he wasn't a father because he was a wood-born fairy, but he was the one who helped Pixie see the light of the world.

Ran exclaimed at him, weeping for the title he had secretly called out to him.

“Dad, the house you left behind. It's on fire."

“It's not your fault. ”

“And the tree my father raised. ”

“Lan, it's not your fault. ”

“It's all gone. ”

His hands trembled like a rope around Judas' collar.

The object Lan was projecting to Judas was a human she believed to be her father.

She just trembled like a little bird in the rain.

‘I'm really alone. ’

Pixies are fairies that originally lived in the forest.

So I didn't have to live a social life. However, Lan had a cozy space where he lived with his heart.

The tree from which he was born, the old house where the man who took care of it would have lived until he died.

That was enough. Lan was living like a tree with roots on the ground and branches to the sky alone.

And today, her roots are all gone.

“What are they doing? I heard the Night Witch goes alone. ”

“ ……. ”

Mercenaries suddenly look at the knights who appear and shake their shoulders.

I couldn't back off because my feet were tied, but I didn't mean to surrender to the enemy, so it was a reckless move.

Judas, who was quietly waiting for Lan's back, slowly stood up.

“Are you fools possessed by witches? Wake up! What kind of bitch is that...! ”

The mercenary who warned Judas of his group as captain of the Rebellion made no more noise.

It wasn't exactly physical pressure, but I shut up myself.

It was because of the instinctive fear when faced with a tranquil, sunken gold eye.

I felt strongly opposed to the fact that I was a human being who dared to face my eyes.

It didn't take long for mercenaries to come up with the same idea.

‘No, never the same. ’

Like a mouse in front of a snake, the opponent was clearly the parent.

I only realized that before my head.

“This child is not a witch. ”

“But we got a referral. ”

“I am also responsible for those of you who accepted the quest with uncertain information. Step back.”

The expression was complete, but Judas was giving orders, not requests.

As he reaches out his hand, Tony flies into a crack and sits down on the palm of his hand. At the same time, the rubble of dirt that was sealing the mercenaries' legs collapsed and was easily crumbled to nothing.

“ ……. ”

The mercenaries who stepped back after shattering the broken soil without a mac saw each other.

Of the 12 mercenaries sent to combat witches, only four have survived to date. Eight people died, one suffered a severe cut in the hand, and at least three others were in good condition.

I don't know if the witch is alone, but I can't even deal with Judas' group who suddenly showed up in this situation.

Judgment was as swift as a mercenary going through countless quest sites.

Right now, life was more important than a quest.

Nod.

The surviving mercenaries turned their backs without foolishness, according to the instructions of the Consolymer.

I didn't even intend to chase and kill an enemy that didn't have any slaughter. She was already tired.

“What?”

Ran lifts his head to Judas' call.

At some point, Rooney and Kani used their power to defeat the flames. However, Lan's house and trees were already burned black and far from their original appearance.

“You know, I killed a man. Tons of them.”

“Yes.”

Lan opens his mouth again, giving Judas an unobtrusive answer.

“I thought we shouldn't kill him. He tried to kill me. I was so surprised that I tried to stop the trees and people just died there. ”

“You did.”

“Man died surprisingly easily. ”

Ran laughed like he was crying.

“I think I'm really a witch. ”
