Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
17: Perselis, the grandmothers mean it.
I have rarely left the Patriarchate.
That was never forgivable, though I would have crossed the aisle to the royal palace with only a little prank.
But I tried not to be found by people, and I admonished myself not to make a scene in the diocese, and I returned in a few moments.
When I snuck into the royal palace's aerial garden, I rarely looked down on the castle town, but I never had the will to go there.
I should have had an admiration, but I don't know what.
"... I got lost"
I flew out of the Patriarchate for the first time.
Aware not to be noticed, it is there to hide yourself.
The emotion that holds my chest that I have to go somewhere just doesn't tell me where the place is.
I came and went to stand-up shops, residential neighborhoods with no gaps, streams, bridges, and parks in the town, and if I was wrong with people, I got a little suspicious about my behavior.
Even though I had never felt afraid of the people I met in the Patriarchate, I'm sure because of the anxiety of wandering alone in a strange world, it seemed very difficult to touch a stranger.
There was a cute dollhouse with decorative doors just across the slightly larger eyeglass bridge.
It was the doll of a curly hairy girl in a bright red dress that was placed in that show window. It's still a town with few people early in the morning, and the shop itself is closed, but you can see it carefully for that matter.
"Wow cute...... like makia......"
Instead of saying that, maybe it's better to say that Machia doesn't take a pull on a beautifully crafted doll.
Makia is a truly gorgeous and beautiful girl. White skin, bright reddish lips and large, slightly attached eyes give a strong impression just at first glance.
The first time I saw her was when she was cuddling with Ulysses at the ballroom, but she was nothing less than standing next to Ulysses.
…………
What a simple, mediocre, besides a child's face I am in that regard.
I sighed at what I looked like in the show window. The witch's clothes are just flickering, the colors are qualitative, and it's a shape that hasn't changed for a long time.
"Blood..."
I heard voices behind me on the lid and shook my shoulders frighteningly.
I felt chilly in that voice. A slightly trembling, creaking voice.
Looking back, there stands a blushing haired, elastic man.
"Blood..."
"... uncle... who?
My congested eyes slowly approach me as I look down at me. Driven by unspoken fear, I laid my back on the glass of the show window, grabbing Ulysses' robe all the time.
The man's arms are brown in skin and sharp in nails. I don't think it belongs to people very much.
The hand was stretched out, I couldn't move much of my fear, but suddenly I heard something like an explosion coming from the side of the eyeglass bridge that came across, and the man was distracted by you. Don't miss that moment, I slipped through the sides and fled, bending over at the side bend.
Anyway, I ran so hard.
Hold the robe tight, bite your lips in fear and weep, and don't let that man just catch you without even going.
I got lost in the alley and finally hit the end of the line.
I orotted and tried to climb the wire fence across the street but the fence had a metal spur. The pain runs in my palm because of my hasty grip.
"... said... eh"
If I had done that, I'd finally have a heavy footstep approaching.
A man comes out of a bend and approaches him with a foreboding glance. It's like a beast system. I moved my nose with a crack and noticed me.
"... what shall we do... Ulysses..."
I couldn't move off the spot and saw tears creeping up in my eyes.
I can't do anything about being a green witch at a time like this.
"Oh no, I can't believe I'm chasing my daughter from the morning... I'm not scared of starving beasts... hihi"
Suddenly, a voice came from the other side of the fence.
She was an old woman with a curved back, eyelid.
"... Egresa!!
I knew the old lady well enough to grip the fence again with less ho.
Now I'm bleeding a little.
"I don't know what to do, there's something wrong with that guy!!
"Relax, witch...... stay still"
Egresa threw away the cane until now, but said that the cane was not really necessary, but she threw it away and ran toward us with help.
Quite quickly.
"... eh"
Bouncing force enough to jump over the fence. Oh, my God. I turned it into a pocan.
The way you stepped down before me is like you don't feel old.
She stretched her spine properly and took the flue out of her pocket as she stood in front of me.
Just one swing at it, and the magical smoke surrounds the man.
The man wandered openly, keeping his nose down.
"Oh, my God, you don't like this smell, you devil. Well, I guess so. Hey, 'cause that's how it's made."
Egresa is somewhere fun.
"... Now, have you sniffed this child's magic? Hihi. Then let's treat the snake to plenty of venom."
Smoke gradually formed the shape of a snake. I'm also gnawed at the boulder. The organ at Urbanus' place seems adorable, but how poisonous her smoke snake is.
The three snakes surrounded the man and bit him on the legs, arms, and flank as he typed his tongue.
……
"Rest assured, you witch... because you are using poison against the devil clan"
"Against the Demons......?
As Egresa raised the edge of her mouth with a niggle, she called out to the dull man who was slowly moving.
"What do you say? You'd feel a little better at first, wouldn't you?... Are you getting sleepy?
"... blood... blood..."
"If it's blood, you drink a glass in your dreams."
He fell to the ground with Dothari.
The man doesn't move anymore.
………
"Boulders are my poison, don't go around fast"
Egresa inhaled the flue intact and smoked for a long time.
"Hey, Egresa, there's something I have to go to."
"... well, where exactly does the witch say she's going to come out of the sanctuary"
I don't know.
Egresa looks a little odd because of the contradictions she's saying.
I told her a lot as I helped her shop. Something like depression I couldn't tell anyone.
"If you don't know, will you go along with this Baba shopping trip? Fluffing around town, you might think of something...... hihi"
"... okay?
"Of course, this town is a lot of noise right now, so don't leave my side. If you don't want to feel scared again."
That's how I looked around the vibrant town when I bought all the canned tomatoes, dried fish and shellfish that seemed sunny in the city.
It's just that when Egresa shows up, the market gets zazzled. I was deeply hooded but this strange gaze of people was painful.
"What's Egresa... maybe she's scared?
"Well, hey, the kids in the neighborhood will run away crying if they talk to me. She said she'd be eaten.... who are those fucking kids"
"... you're a witch."
It's draining a blatantly disastrous magic, and it smells like strong medicine, and it's an eyelid.
I've been looking after you since I was a little girl, so I feel like I can count on you, Grandma.
Egresa, who walks with a cane again, is an old woman worthy of age.
I wonder what the hell happened to me earlier.
I was a little tired of coming and going over there while I was hanging out with Egresa shopping. Nothing seems to happen to Egresa.
I observe all over town with Egresa and still feel uneasy even though I have nothing in mind.
I'm sure I've forgotten something about Ulysses.
“The Promised Place" … only that keyword remains in the depths of my heart.
Egresa watched me sideways as I tended to lean down.
…………
"It's fortune-telling coffee. Shall we have lunch here..."
And, she brought me to Occupy Coffee Verdant. It's some kind of openly disastrous magic coffee shop that looks just like someone else.
When I entered the store, it was this old woman who came out again, but she was a fluffy, nicotine old lady, the opposite of Egresa.
You're not dead yet, Egresa.
But a sudden evil with the person's seemingly good face.
"Hmm, you look good, Scruddy. Are you still running a coffee shop with no guests?"
"I don't want you to tell me."
An old lady named Scruddy looked at me. No, she made her big, dripping eyes bigger.
"This is ridiculous. Aren't you a witch?
"... you know what I mean?
"Of course. Because I am still a former royal magician. I'm just a baba in hiding now, called Scruddy Esta. I need you to know me."
A little surprised. Speaking of the Estas, in Miladrid they are a family of magicians alongside the Medithes.
But when it comes to the Medithes and Estas, we weren't close.
"Two of the usual"
"Yes, sir."
Egresa seems to be visiting somewhat well and ordered it in a familiar manner.
Scruddy has bowed his head to me.
"Witch, if you eat, you should let that Scroody divine a little. That baba only hits fortune..."
"... divination?
"Yes, it will give you a hint of what is important to you."
"... Tips"
I lay my eyes down slightly, repeating as I shrugged.
I was surprised at the lunch that came out.
The menu that came out looks really stylish and tasty, even though it is such a dark and suspicious coffee shop as to call it a witch's shop.
Three small bowls of white lined with stewed tomatoes and edamame, salmon marinade and vegetables rolled in thin raw ham, with hamburger gratin in the main. There was no hamburger on Egresa's gratin.
"This is a service to the witch. Let's raise the flag."
Scrudi smiled with Nico and raised the flag of Ruskia on my hamburger.
Drinks are carbonated water with micro-sugar lime.
"Wow! I've never had such a fine meal."
"... well, the people of the Church are trying to keep their promises of quality... but they're not good enough to eat all the food."
"It's always a grain itch"
…………
Eglesa and Scruddy were face-to-face with their respective expressions, but I did not hesitate to say "Thank you for the grace of the earth" and pray pose. When I close my eyes for a little while and finish my decided prayer, I get excited to take a fork and have lunch.
"... oh, yummy..."
Oh, my God. Very tasty and moisturizing eyes.
"Well, if you only know such a bad meal in the diocese, the food here would be delicious."
"What do you mean, Egresa? My food would be delicious, wouldn't it?
They were bumping into each other, but I was hungry for what I hadn't even had for breakfast, and I was obsessed with eating.
As I eat, all the things I was straining loose, and I can cry.
"... Witch? What's up, were you hot?
"Yeah, it's not... it's delicious..."
My face was in trouble because I didn't stop eating if I cried luxuriously.
Scruddy came with a white cloth and wiped my face. Still don't stop crying with hickhicks.
I'm really a child.
"Well, I've seen the scary eye."
"...... I jumped out of the Church with a lot of momentum, but I couldn't find it in anything, and it annoyed Egresa..."
"That's not true... Lunch with a witch is not something you can do that...... Hihi. My grandson hasn't seen Baba lately because of his own son."
"Yes, yes. My grandchildren have been thinking about the royal palace and forgetting about me... And I'm thrilled to have the witch eat here."
Scruddy brought me a post-meal gelato.
Green melon gelato.
"Oh, why not? My cigarettes are running out..."
"You don't smoke here. It's poison to the witch.... this is why the magician of Medite"
The two are still gutting at each other.
I was eating gelato with a silver spoon and watching wonders how it was going.
"Hey... why are you two close?
"Do you say that when you see this, witch?"
"I've been friends with this baba for a long time, ho ho ho"
I don't know what you're saying, but I guess Egresa wouldn't even bring me to this store if we weren't really close.
"When each other still burst into active duty... I was called" Snake Empress, "and this guy was... er... oh what was it"
"You're finally messed up, Eglesa."
"Yeah, they called me a rainbow witch."
"... rainbow?
I tilted my neck.
Egresa finally sneaks out the flue and starts blowing it. It seemed like some kind of magic was being done to keep the smoke from coming towards me.
It's all due to that. Go to Scruddy next door.
Egresa continued.
"I wasn't in charge yet, I was in an exotic fact-finding mission, so I went east or sneak into the north... Gohon. No, well... I'm not traveling."
"Ever been to a foreign country called Egresa?
"When I was younger."
Scruddy laughs couscous.
"I worked as a royal palace magician, so I bumped into a lot of things at the investigation debriefing with this guy. Because the idea of magic was the opposite. Well, he was a rival."
"Hihi...... rivals hey. You were just hungry because I was taking people from you."
"Just remembering doesn't make me angry."
"It's the past. It's good to forget."
"I'll forget it anyway"
With Nico's face, Scrudi twisted the skin on the back of Egresa's bumpy hand next door.
Those are the old ladies who don't know if they're really close or not.
After eating dessert, Scruddy brought seven stones to the table.
It was in various shapes, but divided into seven colours, like the colour of a rainbow.
"Now, this is the tool that I was told was a seven-colored witch."
"... stone?
"Yep... I will guide you through the keywords of the soul behind the witch's heart"
she said. That this is one name: power as a witch.
Seven are arranged in a circle, and at its center is a piece of paper depicted by my name.
Scruddy lay his hands on the seven stones and was casting a spell.
The stone emits a pout and a dull light.
"Red is anger, orange is easy, yellow is joy, green is love, blue is fascination, blue is pity, purple is hate... touch each stone"
"... yeah"
I touched it one by one.
Every time he touches her, Scruddy makes her face hazy.
"... Anger is' Fools and Braves'... Fun is' Evening '... Joy is' Birth ', Love is' White Flower '... Lost is' Marriage ', Pity is' Death '... Hate is' Holy Land '... Rainbow Bridge is' Previous Life ''
Keywords at a time, she said.
"The letters I saw are about this much. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. … just one thing, most of the keywords that live in your soul seem to be from“ previous life ”"
"... previous life?
"Yep..."
I get that keyword, dokun and heartbeat-like feeling.
The heartbeat grew faster and faster, and the sweat flowed from my forehead.
"Mayday's life means“ first name ”. Keywords, will, and meaning that dwell in your soul can be managed by name. That's true in previous life. … If you want to know something more certain, remember the name of something important. That way... we'll find out what the witch wants to know."
That's what she said, touching my cheek somewhere upset, frowning and smiling.
Leaving Fortune Coffee Verdant, we came and went in the king's capital again.
Egresa's shopping volume is amazing, and she's a horrible old lady who moves around so much again and is undisturbed in her footsteps.
But I think maybe you're hanging out with that desperate search for something, looking around town like I'm in a hurry.
"... I'm sorry, Egresa... That's enough..."
"When I say"
"I can't find it anyway... even though Scruddy divined it for me. I can't remember at all..."
……
The keywords she presented did rush me.
I know there's definitely something out there.
"It's supposed to be that far... but I don't know why, but the big door in my heart is looming so far, it won't open at all.... Why?
"... the key to that door must be what Scruddy said earlier."
"I can't remember at all..."
I stopped at the end of the road, and I leaned down.
Egresa looks up at the sky a little, and then again at me.
"... Now let me give you a hand.... hehe, it will be a rough cure."
"............... is there any way?
"Yep... Scruddy said the witch's“ previous life ”made sense. That... I know that, too. It means a lot to you in your previous life."
"... previous life"
Docun......
I had another big heartbeat.
"If you really want to know that, let me give you a hand...... Shall we go to my shop, because it's kind of like an evening stand coming today... Hihihi"
…………
Hands on restless chest, I nod small.
And I looked up hard.
Midgard, the first demon-led grocery store I came to, was a dark suspicious store, as I had asked Urbanus. More and more.
"Ha ha..."
There was no one in front of the store as if they were avoided.
"Come on, come on, witch, come in."
When I come in, magical accessories and accessories are arranged.
Lined with sparkling crystals, skull-shaped candlesticks, and a wide range.
"So, Witch, I thought I'd try regressive hypnosis now"
"... degenerative hypnosis?
"It's what I call past life therapy. But this is how you decide your trauma. People can keep themselves by forgetting trauma. That's what I'm saying... get ready."
"If I do that, can I remember?
"Yeah... if I can hold onto my first name."
"Then I won't get lost."
I snort again.
Much better than I can remember. Better than not knowing anything like this.
If you say there's something in my previous life, I'll find it.
I lay down on Egresa's prepared sleeping table and took a deep breath.
There is a slightly bitter incense caged.
"Come on, witch, relax… I'm going to sleep and I remember the keywords that Scruddy showed me earlier"
………
Red...... that's anger. "Fools and Braves"
Orange...... that's fun. "Evening wave"
Huang...... it is joy. "Birth"
Green...... it's love. "White Flowers"
Blue...... that's lost. "Marriage"
Blue...... that's pity. "Death."
Purple...... it's hate. "Holy Land"
The Rainbow Bridge is "Previous Life"
………
I felt fluffy and nostalgic.
The world ahead of me with my eyes closed.
It seems like my consciousness is gradually going away and I'm flying towards the bright white light.
Sawa Sawa......
The pale green leaves are shaking.
The sky peeks through the gap of a giant tree.
Is that... the Great Tree of the Holy Land?
Bird chirping.
Small animals are climbing trees.
That's strange.
Now that tree is out of sight in the sky, “back then," you were spreading a cup of leaves in the gentle sun.
... back then?
"... will you name this child? Dear White Sage,"
"I'm not a name witch. I'm a name... will you be all right"
I have a very nostalgic voice. Couscous and laughing voice.
Three figures at the root of the great tree. One is a woman and one is a young man in white. The woman can hold the baby and the young man sees how it goes.
Who's there?
Who the hell are you people?
"Right...... Okay, Eiratia. … This child's name is Ayretia"
"Well, you mean the tree of grace. It's lovely."
That's right.
“I” was given a name by this man.
Its name is Eiratia.
...... kachari.
One door unlocks.
But it's still not enough.
There must be another name to know the truth.
"The Green Witch... I won't be called that anymore. 'Cause this kid's gonna take over."
"Thank you. You were a fine green witch... and you've done your part."
…………
The woman looked kind of tired, horny, but somewhere lonely.
And when he strokes the baby's forehead in a loving way, he turns to the youth with his eyes still on.
"Keep an eye on this child... for me. Like you watched me from birth."
"... witch"
The young man nodded slowly.
"Yeah, of course. Let's keep an eye on this kid until I'm done."
"Thank you... White Sage... Dear Yunosis"
Oh.
I do know that name.
Your name is "Eunosis".
