Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

(Memory - 2)
About 2100 years ago.
Vabilofos, a continent and sanctuary in the south
Yunosis: 100s to
From somewhere, officials from the southern sanctuary came to me when I was sitting down in the royal palace of the kingdom of Fresta in the east and teaching white magic to many disciples. They said it was sparta for what it looked like.
Then I think I got along with the sanctuary and started traveling south and east more than once.
"Black Demon King of the North...... is it? Yeah, I know. You think there's a hell of a black magic user who says he created a demonic nation? I've never met him..."
"So do you know the Red Witch of the West?
"Red Witch...? No, I've never heard that before."
………
A little while after being invited to Vabilofos, the Holy Land of Maidea, on the southern continent, the elders of the inhabitants of the sanctuary told me about the demon kings of other continents.
The western continent has never stood down since the Spirit Survey.
So I've never heard of the Red Witch before.
"Like you and the Black Demon King, they're like witches who don't get old. You think you're always looking like a beautiful mid-teenage daughter? He's a name witch, and he's dating the kingdom of the west, but the stories he hears are, well... horrible things, no good rumors."
"... heh. That's what someone said. I'd love to meet you."
………
"What's wrong, Elder?"
The elders of the inhabitants of the sanctuary seemed somewhere deeply out of sight and gave some direction to those on the side.
The spirits who were underfoot or on their knees chat with each other, "Hey, it's sacred" and "It's reclining".
"Dear White Sage, check this out"
Residents brought something elongated wrapped in a white cloth.
As I took that white cloth, a thin golden cane came out of it.
It's a splendid thing, like an epitome of the enclosed cross that means the spirits. That just showed up in front of me, and I can see the air was nervous.
"... this is... amazing magic."
"I want to give you this scepter. In Mayday mythology, it is the" Tin of the Spirit King ”, the artifact of Para Utis, known as the Spirit God. We keep some of these artifacts in the sanctuary, but if someone shows up who can handle them, we're supposed to give them to them."
"... Tin of the Spirit King"
I felt quiet and nostalgic in front of the scepter, and there was something I could not help but attract, and I received it without thinking. After receiving it, ha-ha, ask the elders.
"I can't believe it's an artifact... it must be very valuable. Are you sure you want me to handle this?
"Of course. I just want to ask you one thing..."
"Say?
"I told you earlier, it's about the Black Demon King and the Red Witch. I hear stories here lately about those two demon kings arguing with each other from a survey group of sanctuaries scattered around the world. I want you to see why. And if you can, I want you to stop it before it matters."
………
Oh.
I listened to the story and tightened my face just a little bit.
Because the tin of the Spirit King in his hand conveys twitching and ancient magic, or because he was inspired to go and meet a demon king who was similar to himself?
By this time, I didn't know.
What the hell is the battle between demon kings?
It was war.
Yeah, they showed off the war at a speed that didn't go unnoticed.
Coming to the kingdom of Jolweh on the northern continent. Yes, I saw the battle between the Black Demon King and the Red Witch between those successive snow mountains.
The identity could not be ascertained, but the fluctuations of flying magic will be transmitted to the village at the foot.
I was taken aback. I don't even think this is the first time I've seen this scale of demon leadership.
Because this is not a magic guide versus a demon guide, but just a battle between two magicians, the boulder is only rumored to be the name of the demon king.
I've never heard the North abandon their land in a dispute between two magicians.
The inhabitants were evacuating the disputed places of the demon kings, but some are on purpose to visit. How smooth.
But well, the battle between the two also seemed to have some rules.
Surprisingly, no harm seems to have been done to humans.
"Come on, brother, you better not go ahead from here."
Just as I tried to step into the Dangerous Zone after the battle, the inhabitants there stopped me for a long time.
"That mountain's been blown away. Look at that."
"... oh my God"
I saw it before I met the Black Demon King and the Red Witch, a trail of contention between the two of them.
The mountains were scraped apart. I just lose my word.
This is a huge nuisance to the inhabitants of this country.
"They're basically not harmful to the average person. Well, very rarely do they get involved. I can't help it because I'm a fool who likes things I've been to see so close... but I'll always be fighting like that, so I can't feel safe here. We can't get close to the mountains.... Yes, the Red Witch comes all the way from the West Continent."
In the town at the foot of Snow Mountain in the north, where the Black Demon King is said to be, we learned a lot about it as we heard from the residents.
The Black Demon King said he had a demonic kingdom in the mountains, but that no one could find it. But you think the Red Witch made it? I don't know what the hell is the original contention, but I hear stories of the Red Witch wanting the blood of the Black Demon King's Harlem woman mischievously, or the female favorite Black Demon King giving a little bit to the Red Witch to piss her off, lying or true.
But I wonder.
All this is something we don't know anything about unless we try to meet them in person.
Apparently, the dispute between the two demon kings takes place once a month at intervals.
They just happened to run into each other that month, so even if we wait for the two of them now, we have to stay here for another month.
I thought it would be a hassle, and I decided to go into the mountains and look for the Black Demon King.
Climb the mountains high and high, even on the ground to punish the tin of the Spirit King given in the sanctuary.
Well, I had the spirits, so I don't suffer from the fierceness of nature. It wouldn't be cold if there was a Spirit of Fire.
But wherever you look, you can't find the demonic kingdom that says it was created by the Black Demon King.
Ask the spirits, "Come on," he puts his head up. I didn't know the spirits had land they didn't understand.
"Sage, do you mind?
"Hey, Tarantella."
"Maybe the Black Demon King is in a different space. In a space where the spirits can't be involved."
"... what about spatial magic?
"Yes, I am."
Tarantella, who is always on my shoulder, was the spirit of a clever poisonous spider. But I'm a calm, cute one.
"Yuno!! Prana, I actually found it. The walls of space."
"... what?
Hachidori's Spirit Plana has been suddenly stopped in space since just now.
It's like hitting an invisible wall over and over again.
"It's true... it's a different space from here"
"But wise men, sometimes, we can't do anything. Spatial magic and spiritual magic are subtly incompatible."
"In short, you can't beat the Black Demon King in Yuno."
"Master Sage, are we going to lose? You're gonna lose?
The spirits are gathered and secretly deliberating.
I put my hand on the invisible wall and held my head.
"Nothing. I'm not here to fight the Black Demon King. I'm here to talk to you."
"But the Black Demon King is the King of the Demons. He must be so scared ~"
"Oh, but I've heard of a good man."
"Even wise men are good men!!... a little unreliable though"
………
The spirits can say whatever they want. They'd be the only ones at this time who'd like to say anything to me like this.
After that, I tried everything I could to see the Black Demon King, but I still couldn't get the Spirit involved in another space that was closed to perfection, and I decided to give up and go down the mountain and meet the Red Witch.
The fact that she wasn't a beauty.
The western continent is a stable and good place for the climate.
I heard there was a Red Witch in the forest west of the Kingdom of Grizine, so I just asked someone from the Kingdom of Grizine to take me.
So unlike in the time of the Black Demon King, I think we were able to get to her place in no time.
It's a wooden little cabin. Beautiful and quiet, a really small cabin surrounded by woods with no one.
It was a little surprising. I heard you were getting a luxury guarantee on the kingdom in a semi-threatening state, so I was wondering if you live in a more splendid house.
"Be careful, Master White Sage. She's a very bad girl."
"... oh. Well, let's be careful."
The user is somewhere blue in front of the Red Witch's cabin.
Is he bringing a gift from the kingdom to her?
"The Red Witch may drain your blood."
"Could they take it?
"Could it be boned out?
The spirits are hissohisso rumors. When I scold them "quietly," they get quiet all at once.
When I tried to knock on the door, that wooden door opened on its own.
"... who"
……
First impression, bright red. And she's beautiful and cute enough to take a breath.
The girl in front of you looks like she's about 16 or 17 years old. Bright red long hair, bright red robe dress, I'm very concerned about the color of the aqua blue eyes as accents, that was an impressive and poor girl.
What is this the infamous Red Witch......
"Nice to meet you, Red Witch. I've come from the eastern continent… well, it's called the White Sage."
"... White Sage. You've heard of it."
After she looked up at me seriously, she gave a slightly cooler gaze to the user on her side and gave me a sarcastic grin.
My impression just now has changed. Pinned magic will pass me by.
"Oh, the use of Gridgene? Did you bring some crap again?
"You're in a good mood, Red Witch. I have a gift from His Majesty the King."
………
She narrowed her big eyes softly and received it.
"You're not the daughters of death row inmates or slaves or anything today. Uh, uh, there was some magic I wanted to try - too bad. I have some vinegar pickles from those girls I brought in before, but maybe I'll take them back for a souvenir?
To the frightened user, she had a rather evil look and mouthfeel.
When the user shook his head with pride, he said, "I will do this," and left the place to flee.
………
"Ha ha....... oh, dumb guys"
When she raised her voice and laughed, she looked up at me like she was finally out of the way.
I think you're observing my attitude, especially when it doesn't change my expression.
"Why are you lying like that?
"... what's a lie?
"It's what my daughters say about pickling vinegar. Because I don't smell like that, and the spirits with good noses don't look weird. They like humans."
………
She shook her eyes a little surprised for a moment, but laughing niggly at the spirits and me, she said, "Fine, come in" and drew me into the house.
This was my first contact with the Red Witch. It was calm like this at first.
In front of a witch's house where no one likes and tries to lean in the quiet west woods.
It would have been a delicate line to say whether I would have expected it at this time if we would have fought each other so hard that we could not go back.
