"Ugh..."

How long have you slept since then……….

I wake up groaning at a headache that lasts intermittently, with a fuzzy time interval.

"Here... is..."

Looking around in a blurred vision, it was apparently like a forest there.

"Yikes... I'm sure, with Tausent..."

Holding on to my aching head, I remember step by step.

Yes, we must have been fighting Tausent, who took in the shards of the Evil God.

Then, following Tausent's words, who regained his self, he pierced her heart part.

"Then… what happened?

I can remember that far, but I can't recall because I'm completely out of the way from there.

Perhaps something that happened there caused the situation now.

I realize my whole body hurts terribly, not just my head.

"In the meantime... I have to chill in the river or something..."

Apparently, I'm the only one here.

Are the flams nearby? I decide to move around, including what it means to look for them.

"Ha... ha... hey..."

Apparently, I was brought to a big tree.

Leaning against that tree, he forces his painful body to stand.

"I need a cane or something for now…………"

I wasn't sure I could walk without any aid, so I could use magic to generate a stone wand.

"…… that?

But nothing happened!

That sounds like a word.

Sure, it was supposed to be magical, but there was no sign that a stone wand could be done.

On the contrary, I didn't even feel the magic that was supposed to be flowing in my body.

"Is that the price of being forced to use Demon Mode?

With that in mind, I can also understand the pain in my whole body.

The magic might also be temporarily unavailable due to its effects.

I tried to activate Demon Mode to try it, but it still didn't respond.

... I have no choice. I don't know how long this state will last, but I'll have to get through it without magic for a while.

"............... healing, right?

Don't ask anyone, I ask myself.

This scares me if I can't use magic for the rest of my life.

It originally came from a world where magic does not exist. You could live without it, but it coexisted too much with magic to be so optimistic.

The sudden inability to use what I normally use makes me terribly anxious.

"Yes! Don't be weak. Me! It's okay, I'll be sure to use it!

I scream to shake off my anxiety.

It is true that magic is currently unavailable. Now it is necessary to accept and act upon the status quo.

I thought I needed a cane for now, and when I looked around, there was an affordable thick tree branch, so I decided to replace it with a cane.

Then he started looking for the river and the flams as he dragged his painful body.

"It's the sound of a river..."

When it's been long enough since I started walking, I can hear the water flow slightly if I clear my ears.

Eighty-nine out of ten, it's supposed to be a river.

Sometimes I wanted to cool down the painful area, but I couldn't help but move my throat so my desire to moisten my dry throat quickly hurried my body.

Make sure to go one step at a time and eventually get out to the open place.

"River...... ⁉"

There was a river there, as I expected.

It's a clear and very beautiful river. But there were unexpected things waiting for me.

……

In the river, one person was taking a bath.

It's a rare dark eyed brunette in this world, her whole body is scratched but her body is tight and she even feels glossy.

Normally, Rin's face was now stained bright red with shame, and his mouth was pounding to talk about something.

...... yeah. Justina was taking a water bath in the river. Naked.

"……… Ha-ha-ha ⁉"

"My apologies! Not on purpose! No offense!

When Justina screams out of color, I turn back to me and look back.

My body hurts a lot because I moved my body all at once, but not now.

It's Setouchi who wants to know if he can accuse me of peeping. Compared to that, the pain in the body is trivial.

"A, Aruba...... you...... you!

Behind me, I hear some chatter and a rush.

Perhaps Justina is in a hurry to get dressed.

Damn it, whatever Flam or Fore... why do I have to wake up some lucky sketch with Justina.

No, well, I don't have to think you were more girly than I thought.

I didn't have breasts!

"Haa... ha... but that's enough!

I heard her voice and Justina stood, dressed in armor with her face bright red as I turned towards her.

Potatoes and hair wet enough to drop droplets are somewhat glossy.

This is not the time to think about it.

"Alba...... how far did you see it?

"I didn't see anything! I didn't think you had more breasts than I expected!

I scream like that to prove that I'm innocent.

All of a sudden, I may have spoken weird things because I was half confused, but I can't afford to skip my remarks.

"Become ⁉ Ku, Kui, you! This Elova!

Justina inflates her killer by making her red face even more red for some reason.

"It makes my sword rusty......! So long, God's Extinction Sword Scaragle!

Justina tries to summon the sword while screaming like that but nothing happened.

"... oh, shit! Yeah, you couldn't use magic for some reason."

Seeing nothing happen, Justina says that abominably.

"Justina can't use magic either?

"" And "? That means you can't use it either?

When I ask her a question, Justina looks this way and asks back.

"……… For now, let's settle down."

"…… Right."

In this way, I was able to escape the dishonorable crime of Peeping Demon safely because the mutual interests of understanding the status quo were consistent.

"Later, I'll hear the opening."

Foreword withdrawn. There was no escape.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Before we were able to understand each other's current situation, our thirst was limited, so we moistened our throats while cooling the affected area.

"Steady, the colour of your eyes is changing……………"

When I checked my face when drinking water, it was already dry but there was blood coming from my head.

Apparently, this is what caused the headache.

At the same time, I notice that the color of my right eye is changing.

I used to have yellow eyes in both eyes, but now only my right eye is red.

Probably the harm of being forced to continue using Demon Mode.

If I were you, I'd be a wow odd eye! Or I would have been happy.

"Well, I can't help it"

I just regretted it, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I have no choice but to accept it honestly.

Compared to the inability to use magic, it's trivial.

"Is it time?

When I look at my face, Justina talks to me, so I snort.

"Elova, how far do you remember?

"Excuse me, please really give me a break for calling Eloba"

I can't get back on my feet if they call me that, not only by my people, but also by my enemies.

"… I have no choice. So, what do you say?

Justina asks, sighing deliberately.

I thank her for her generosity.

"All I can remember is sticking a weapon in Tausent's heart..."

Then I hear Tausent say something and the area turns bright white, where my memory is interrupted.

"Hey, what the hell happened after that? Besides, where is this place?

"I don't know what happened after that either. He just said what resonance was like. Given what we have in common, it would be reasonable to assume that the power of the Evil God has erupted in some way."

If you ask me, I think Tausent said something like that.

"So it's about this place… I don't know that either. I know that magic can't be used and there are no demons at all."

"Speaking of which, there's no sign of demons at all."

This is the first time Justina has told me.

My body hurts. I couldn't use magic. There was so much going on that I didn't notice.

"Is the curse of the Evil God also gone, now I have nothing but physical abilities that are no different from ordinary people? Well, I knew there was no sign of the demon, so I was taking a bath... but I didn't expect to get a peek."

"So that's force majeure...!

Surprisingly persistent, so is Justina.

"…… well, forget the joke"

Was it a joke? That didn't sound like a joke.

"This feeling is similar to what it felt like when you were wearing a nothingness bracelet (debug ring). Maybe………"

"Can't you use all the magical stuff while you're in this forest?

Justina nodded when I took over the words.

Honestly, I've never heard of a land where the whole forest would have that effect, even though it was a substitute I'd never even heard of a nothingness bracelet (debug ring).

It's hard to believe, but I'm actually experiencing it, so I'll have to admit it.

"I don't know what happened to your people, but we should probably assume that the outburst of evil god power has caused everyone to fly somewhere. Me and you were close by chance, but not everyone else."

That's true.

The flams…… I hope they are safe.

"In the meantime, this is the current situation……………"

Justina tries to go somewhere when she just stands up and says she's done talking.

"Where are you going?

"I don't want to be in the woods forever for no reason. Get the hell out of here."

That's true. The Flams are worried, and there's no reason to stay here forever.

I try to stand up and follow Justina with a wooden branch instead of a cane.

"Why are you following me?

Then Justina asks with a fundamentally strange look.

"…… No?

To be honest, I've been traveling with the Flams so suddenly I'm anxious to be alone.

Besides, I just don't know where this place is.

Although enemies, Justina is very dependable, so I'd like to accompany her if I can.

"No... I just wanted to say that there's something about Weissman. It would be better to have more power. I have no choice but to stay with you until you join your people."

Apparently, that's what Justina says as she pushes the attitude of reluctance across the board about whether she thought the same thing.

Tundele! I wanted to get stuck with it, but I can't let Justina get in the mood, so I feel good about it.

"Thank you, that would help. And then, what happened... My whole body hurts, so it would be helpful if you lent me your shoulder."

To my words, Justina lends me a shoulder even as she exhales a grand sigh.

Yeah, I knew it was a tundra.

Thus began the strange journey between me and Justina.
