Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 17: Alone Scarlet Witch

"--Graceful!! Grassoo!!"

Marona, captured by the Imperial soldiers, cries out to the burning forest.

The higher the sunset, the higher the night sky, the more proud it was to burn.

"Shut up!!

"Fufufu!?

Marona was kicked by the Imperial soldiers and rolled.

"Hey, hey! Don't be rough on your mother!!

"That's not what I'm talking about!!

Left behind Lorenzo, who crawled to Marona while in captivity, his wife crawled into the Imperial Soldiers.

There were many other villagers around, but others were detained.

"--Aren 't you just taking the woman over there!?

Lorenzo's wife, Regina.

Due to the strange state of Lorenzo recently, Marona, the village chief, disappeared, and I was questioning her vigorously for days.

Then finally knowing the situation and driven by passion, the wife shook Lorenzo out of the house at her feet and went to the Imperial soldiers who were staying in the village, talking everything with jealousy and anger.

"... what do you want to do?"

Soldiers annoying Regina, shaking fiercely, ask the commander of this army.

……

The Commander, who sweats from a hurry, thought in a difficult face, but eventually opened his mouth.

"... kill the villagers and burn the village. thoroughly."

"Ha!!

"Hmm!? What... what did you say...?"

Regardless of Regina retreating, the Commander says.

"I told you to negotiate so carefully... The Emperor must have let go of his magic first. And...."

The Commander's ruthless gaze is heading towards Regina.

"Ah, uhh, you're lying...?

"Stupid woman. Rumors of mission failure may reach your ears somewhere. I don't think I can keep you alive.... I wish this time it was convenient for me to burn the whole village in the flames of that witch."

I secretly told him that I was going to kill everyone in my chest from the beginning.

"Oh no... gah!?

"Nh, Reginaaa!!

A frightened Regina is assassinated by the Commander.

"It's noisy... This is not the end of the road.... let's get this over with and retreat! We can't let them know we're here forever!

"" "Ha!!

The gaze on Regina turned from hate to fear and was killed like a job by soldiers.

The houses were carefully set on fire from the edge....

The body is also thrown into a big fire...

"Ugh... Grace... I'm sorry, Grace..."

I regret my mistakes in the flames of the forest, weeping with tears.

"... I'm sorry, Mother...... ghh!!

Lorenzo understands the seriousness of what he did... and Marona gets skewered.

Blood drips from the blade that pierces Lorenzo and Marona's chest.

"...... Grace...... Hiru......"

……

Make sure the last old woman is dead.

"All right, burn them too. You've packed up the cargo, we need to retreat immediately."

Without turning to burning forests or villages, Imperial soldiers march on midnight countryside roads.

"You know that, don't you?

"Of course... If we know that we have failed to capture the witch we are about to witch, we will all be punished."

Immediately, the Commander and the Lieutenant speak.

"Exactly. After that...."

"I know.... hey, call the Intelligence Unit."

Give agents the task of spreading the new legend of Scarlet Land and return to the Imperial Capital in peace.

………

……

Asahi rises and the forest becomes scorched earth.

The fire of Scarlet Crystal continues to burn the ground.

In the meantime... a figure crawls out of the basement, opening the door.

"... what about...?

A frightened murmur, a weak cry calling out to her mother.

"Oi... my mother... my mother...?

He pushes anxiety and fear to kill and calls again and again.

Instead of living in a house with my mother, the woods call with wet eyes to the surroundings where everything has disappeared.

"Uhh... ah... haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The crying of a young girl who was too sad.

Too painful a scream echoes through the scorched earth.

And I cried forever.

I can't help but think of my mother and just keep crying.

But after hours, I finally remember.

I remember last night... with my last mother.

"Gu, uu... very well..."

With tears that do not stop, you stand still.

"... I'm gonna cum so hard...!

Behind Hildegart, tracing her mother's words, a red monster seeps out.

……

You'll notice.

The strong mother had little hope of actually going somewhere.

However, the existence of magic (...) in me now tries to deny it.

─ The time has come for you to understand. Like me, like my ancestors..... "

Inherited Scarlet Crystal.

……

With trembling hands... I use magic.

"─!!

... a bright red crystal was created around the flame.

It is a testament to being a witch inherited from Grace.

There is only one unique magic inherited from generation to generation.

I mean, Grace...

"Nh, uhh..."

The small body collapses.

The only thing that matters most is the sadness of losing the most important thing, which strikes at the young.

Mourn with a voice that cannot be heard from the mourning beyond a degree.

"... nh... nh... nh..."

………

……

Hildegart goes down to the village with the little gold left in the basement.

Hildegart knew that it would be dangerous to remain there forever.

……

But I don't have a guess.

Still in a vortex of endless grief, she was only drawn to nature and nearby villages.

Dressed in a robe covering his entire body, he walks into the village alone, with no sense of step.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

Talk to big guys walking in front of you.

"Ah, [Scarlet Witch], right?

……

Hildegart's feet stopped.

"That's right. It's been a long time, that monster. Don't you dare say that!"

"I don't know, but it looks like it's close by. He said he burned the whole village because he failed to seduce a man."

... Hildegart starts walking.

As the legend suggests. Damn, if you want so many men, I'll... "

I bump into a man's arm.

"Ah? Hey, kid. Watch your step."

――

"Hmm!?

An unusual angry gaze peeks from the hood, pressurizing the big man.

It was an imminent triumph for a young girl.

"Oh, hey, leave the kids alone. Let's go."

"Ah, ahh...."

The men are leaving.

"............!"

... the stopped little body trembles.

Fists and bitten teeth.

Tears filled again with regret and sadness.

But no matter how much you endure, there is no mother who can help you anymore.

………

……

After that, I turned around the village... and whispered to [Scarlet Witch] everywhere.

He ran unexpectedly to the deserted forest.

I couldn't stand it.

I don't know anything about that mother.

Something about that sweet, strong, noble mother.

After that, I lived alone in the woods.

My mother taught me how to live by myself.

Days, months, years...

I definitely didn't want to hear about Scarlet Witch anymore.

Eventually, I couldn't stand the loneliness of loneliness, and I didn't know that I would leave the forest and wander around.

And from the events along the way... you will notice the existence of a 'child' who is not attracted to you even if you are close by.

In exchange for the new grief that awaits...

I wander through the wilderness in disappointment... and now Hildegart has no way of knowing all of them, including what Madame will pick me up.

……

Until the other day, I cheeked on the mushrooms that my mother had eaten with her hands, overflowing with hunger.

Still in the woods for a few days.

It was always the best.

Hell is a warm day without a mother, and loneliness adds to the suffering.

"... uuu..."

Wipe tears off sleeves.

Born power, inherited magic.

Those were still small children.

She was an innocent girl who was suddenly deprived of her happy days with her mother without the knowledge of the world.

It's painful.

Sad.

I need your help.

No... I want to go back.

I want to go back to those days.

I lied and just wanted to get back to that happy day.

On that day with my sweet mother.

"Mother....."

Tears do not stop.

But my mother said.

"Hilde, live strong“ You can give up... "

The words my mother would never say resonate.

The imprinted magic eye intervenes in Hildegart's memory.

"You can give up, Hilde..."

Hildegart's heartbroken memory of the epic sorrow of the past.

"Leave the rest to me. Don't even think about it... leave it to me" "

Your body is relaxing.

Maybe it was not strong, but strong.

Covered in a mask of fiery fire, covered with enormous magic, built walls, intimidated, and desperately hid.

It all ended up in jail.

"The world rejected us. I'm the only one who can love you." "

I still did.

Whether you try to be loved or live strong, everything was in vain.

Whether they were children who were not fascinated by their appearance or not, they were frightened and turned their backs and fled.

That time and now...

There is no one beside me.

No matter how much money you get, no matter how strong you get, no one gets lonely... no one...

It's just my mother.

It's still just my mother.

My mother is the only one who loves me. If only I could go back when my mother was around...

♢♢♢

"... it looks like you're finally frustrated. It's harder than I thought..."

At the center of the Scarlet Crystal covering the ground, Hildegalt with his fictitious eyes shed tears.

Immediately after exercising the Magic Eye, magic was activated from the defensive reaction, and the burning crystals spread around from Hildegart.

But there was no hegemony until the earliest, and the proud flame was sinking, and now there was an innocent girl devoured by despair.

All you have to do is imprint the memory that your instructions are absolute.

"Magic Eyes and Modifications."

To be precise, it imprints another memory and transforms the opponent into something convenient for the surgeon.

Depending on how you do it, your values, personality, and thoughts can all be finished separately. It's an extremely vicious magical eye.

"Rest assured. From now on, Ashishi will be your owner. I will love you because everyone hates you and denies you. I'll use your filthy self. She's a pretty doll, of course."

Madame laughs at the joy of surrendering, immersing himself in the aftermath of victory.

……

Does Hildegart already have a loose shell or just shed tears?

Madame had already seen the way ahead.

The gospel of the more familiar archbishops also grows larger.

Convinced that there is nothing to be afraid of in this world at the earliest, Madame's desire is directed even higher.

"Anyway, let's get this kid to help us with Princess Celestia and the Black Knight..."

--Ah, I feel terribly sick...

A childish voice that throws up and throws up.

"What? What... child?

And the LORD of his voice came out of the flame, walking flat.

"... you're not allowed in here. Go home before they eat."

"You'll be late. Shut your mouth."

"Nh...."

Quiet anger without saying anything.

A surprised madam breathes without thinking of the eyes of a faint child.

"Hildegart... maybe you're mistaken."

A child walks up from behind Hildegart without thinking of Scarlet Crystal, covering his empty eyes like a hug... from behind her.

It's like a clear voice that's different.

A pure voice without any evil thoughts.

……

"You're loved by so many people."

Words that convey your thoughts with all your heart.

"The kindness you've given us has certainly reached us."

Looking back on the past few days, he said.

"You worried me. He gave me a job. He scolded me. You stayed with me. He led me...."

Gives a gentle word in the heart of the burning tower.

"It was clumsy, but it was a very warm thing to think about us. Thank you if it doesn't cut. Thank you, sweet witch."

Speak slowly to the unresponsive Hildegart as he tries to convey a little inside his chest.

"I didn't think you were the rumored [scarlet witch].... it must have been a painful and spectacular day. You will have experienced unthinkable suffering and grief. And yet you... gave us so much."

Behind the black-haired child were four noisy children chasing after him.

Did you put some water on it? It looks like it's wet and muddy.

"It is not in vain that you have lived hard. [M] Those kids you've been looking all over for me, they're proof of that. --You 're certainly loved."

……

The children stepped back into the flaming Hanazuki Pavilion, risking their lives.

I was running around looking for the only force that could help Hildegart.

"I had a really good time with you. It's an irreplaceable memory. Thank you, Hilde...."

Communicate your thoughts so as to envelop.

"Next....."

And a gladiator's flame lit up in the eyes of a dark-haired child.

It's our turn.

Hildegart's tears grew.

Warm tears shed away tears that seemed to freeze cold.

"I won't let you do it again. I'll manage if you're sad. [M] I don't want to see you sad. [M] If anyone hurts you...."

A black-haired child looks up at Madame.

"... I'll be your opponent"

Powerful gaze and hot words from children.

Thank you for everything you've done so far, and hold your fist to protect you from the future.

"... Ho. Do you know what it means to be on his side? Or are you so stupid that you don't even know that? I don't know because I'm not interested."

"What does that mean? Say it."

Standing in front of Hildegard, he opposed Madame, who gave me a boring gaze.

"I can see white eyes from all over the world and be persecuted just like her. I can throw stones and get scolded by people I've been close to."

"It doesn't matter. I'll do what I want. Even if my family and friends turn against me, I won't waver. Whatever happens. Whatever happens, I'm on her side."

……

Madame's 'arrogance' is cold enough to make his spine cold.

Madame, who assumed that he had the power to reach heaven, could not ignore that attitude, which was too invincible.

"Even if everyone neglects her and the world wants to eliminate her as a disaster, I won't allow it."

"Ohohoho, what can you do like you? Children don't help the heroes and heroes who live in this country. The woman is a [jealous lewd devil]. It's because he's an evil god."

"That's funny......"

The hands of a child who tries to walk with a confident smile are taken from Madame, who does not seem to laugh in the eyes.

……

……

Slowly let go of Hildegart's little hand, which grips with the utmost force.

"... your way of life is not wrong. I won't let anyone deny it."

……

Say that with a soft smile and wipe Hildegart's tears with your fingers.

I'll prove it.

"Wait...."

Walk back to Madame with Hildegart, who is still weak.

"If a brave man or a hero can't reach out, can I?

"... I'm not stupid"

"Even if you're stupid, if you don't fight here, it's not me."

"Oh, really?

Hmm...

Many mud dolls are born from the feet, and they cover the children one after the other.

"Nh!!

"Kokto!!

Covered in front of Hildegart until domed in a mud glove.

The cry of the frog was also void, and the snake was completely swallowed by the mud as it flowed to tighten it up.

"You don't have to talk anymore, just die in pain. Now, let's start over again."

"You...."

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Hildegart, driven by rage, can help himself up.

Madam, who can't wait to stand up mentally weakened, stares into agony.

--Darkness erupts.

"What!?

"Hmm!? Kuu...!!

A dark black magic that pushes Madame back into the mud.

"Let's not laugh at her....."

It's overflowing with kneeling.

"Nh...!!

"Uhh...."

The momentum is tremendous, and it erupts indefinitely.

"Nh... I'll do it..."

Eventually, when it subsided, there was a black-haired man who stood at ease in the same posture as the child earlier.

"I'm in a pretty bad mood seeing Hilde crying. I think you've done too much, so scatter it flashy."

"... ho ho!! I wonder if you can do it...?
