The elegant daily routine of sage Grecas - here we go with a lovely 'Sage Hall' life!

◇

The castle of Arktiles rocked.

Continuous explosions and shocks make the window frame creak.

"Mother Manu (Mom), come here!"

It was Spiarno, the half-beast with dog ears, who stopped Manuferno.

"Relieved. Supi, you were there...!"

"The children are safe."

Next to the room where the tea ceremony was held, Spiarno had a castle in the closet room of the waiting room.

During the tea ceremony, Manuferno took the young porcupine and mint to Spiarno for safekeeping in the next room.She hides behind a table set up as a shield facing the window and holds two toddlers.

When Manuferno rushed over, Portura and Mint did not cry, but were held in Spiarno's chest with satisfaction.

There are only stones and four children growing up.I think the feeling of security is different.When I held Riola in my arms, she immediately came out.Could it have something to do with the size of the chest?

"Thank you. Thank you."

Manuferno gently took the two toddlers from Spiarno.When I hugged her like a bouquet of flowers, I was relieved by the weight and warmth and almost wept.

"My boobs are so big."

"Breastfeeding. You'll be saved."

"Recently, my kids have been drinking too much."

Manuferno noticed that the four children of Spiarno were not nearby.

"Shiko. What about the sppi kids?!"

I wondered if they were hiding with the Chikko Legion, which was so dumb and blind.

Dog ear eldest daughter Meeru, cat ear eldest son Niano.Nappi, the second daughter of a cat ear, and Nata, the second son of a dog ear.Also, I couldn't find Lana and Lars, who played the leading (...) roles.

"Everyone's fine. The castle's underground dining room."I went to eat delicious food with Lana and Lars.Faria's sister, uh...... Fondine invited me. "

Roger that. Then you can rest assured......

I let my chest down when I knew everyone was safe.

Spiarno would have had the option of evacuating to an underground cafeteria.However, with her high crisis-sensing ability, she decided that it was better to wait in a position where she could see the situation and stay close to Manuferno.Spiarno, who had excellent physical abilities, would be able to escape quickly if he became Isa.

The gentle tea ceremony turned out to be an outrageous uproar.

The Saintess's plan to summon the black demon-like monster and try to blame the wise man Gugrecas, even if it was, was broken by Plumb's discovery.

From the middle, it was already a mess.The Pulucian witch was disoriented and rampaged.It was no longer a magic beating, but it developed into a brawl.

The outside became quieter with the great shock.

"Whoa!? Something big triggered it."

"Amazed. That's... Hempero-chan's magic"

What I saw through the window was a tower of grass that had just grown to reach the sky.

The vines that have grown above the roofs of the second floor are certainly the magic of Hemperosa.She is the only disciple of a wise man who can use such magic when searching the world.

That one's cleaned up, right?

See how Spiarno approaches the window.

At the tip of the green tower, where the vines were intertwined and grown, the saintly lady was captured with her whole body as if she were a mosquito.

White flowers blossom in the midst of the grass, and it looks like a funeral.

Destroyed. You defeated the witch, Hempero-chan.

"Ahh. You can't wake up like that."Rikishi is the most disciple of the wise man, so he's relentless. "

Spiarno smiles at his magnificent victory.

Pantilaski Kejarkov, the Saintess of Prussia, had his eyes peeled and his mouth wide open.

Looks like things are coming to an end.

I heard people rushing around in a hurry.Various staff working in the castle to help the wounded, as ordered by the guards.

Rendezvous with the sppi children.

That's right.

Spiarno left the room first.Manuferno, who was about to go after him, suddenly stopped and looked back.

……

A saintly woman trapped at the tip of a green tower and exposed her pants in a pathetic upside-down state.

No, the witch Pantillaski Kejarkov. Because she seemed to overlap with herself for a moment.

"Same. You were... just like me."

The Saintess of Prussia. The essence of her magical powers, as she was called, belonged to the darkness.

It was a decaying (...) genealogy of the same lineage as Manuferno.Is it hometown, or is the bloodline connected somewhere?I don't have any way of knowing, and I don't want to know, but it was very similar.

The abominable power of darkness.

The magic of decay degenerates the target.

If the creature is a curse, it will weaken and die.It can produce biological toxins, stop the heart, or make it septic.If it's a plant, it dies.

Since ancient times, it has been known as the genealogy of the source of dark sorcery, written in various grimoires.

Manuferno maintains a rare form of “healing magic” by controlling the power of highly toxic decay.

Excessive poison would kill the life form, but it was the same reasoning that it could be used as a medicine if it was a trace amount.

It suppresses the excessive activity of the fine spirits (annotations, microorganisms) responsible for decomposition, enhances the effect of vitality activation, and is used as a cure.

That's just the difference.

A past comes to my mind that I don't even want to remember.

Manuferno's hometown was an unnamed cold village long north of Prusia.

It was a poor, lonely village with nothing but gray skies and a thin land.

The flowers withered just because she touched them!

The cursed child...!!

The power of the devil lies in you.

It's your fault the crops got weak and sick!?

You're the reason my cow died!

All your stored food has rotted away!because you were near yesterday...! '

I couldn't control my magic and it definitely affected my surroundings.But there was something to be said.

"Silence (……)"

He endured the beating and the kicking.

When I was a child, I kept my mouth shut and was treated as badly as livestock in the village.

The sunless land of the Far North would have taken light and kindness from people's hearts.

A winter that seemed to last forever.

The people around me began to fall bumpy from the disease.It was due to epidemic disease.But, as a matter of course, Manuferno was blamed and killed.

Kill me!

"It's all because of this cursed kid!"

"Killing in the village will bring disaster...!"

"Exile, into the deserted wilderness of the north!"

The young Manuferno was banished to the winter wilderness.

I walked barefoot, but soon I was given an unexpected hand.

"I found it, Our Lady."

He was saved and surrounded by the Order of Eternal Darkness, a devil worshiper.

The Order of Eternal Darkness. A cult of devil worship born from the darkness that is deeply rooted in cold villages all over the world.

- The light has abandoned us, it has abandoned the land.But darkness will never be forsaken.The oppressed, the most exhausted in the world, the exiled in the wilderness, all equally encompassed in darkness.

As a dark saintess (...) who embodied the power of the devil, Manuferno was a superior material.

Life has changed.

The lack of food and clothing has disappeared.

Freedom to live as a bird in a cage was given, as were books and knowledge.I even had time to paint.Filled with delusions, the wings of my imagination were free.

The surrounding adults continued to touch the swelling.If you make eye contact, you will become blind. If you touch it, your limbs will rot.

I got used to being alone and scared.

Distorted but peaceful days followed.

However, a turning point is coming.

A madman who called himself Demon King Denmark declared war on the entire world.

At first, the humans of the Order rejoiced."This brings us to the era of darkness, our own era..."However, the situation changed when the monsters activated and began to attack people.

The monsters of the forest attacked and devoured even the humans of the Order, who were martyred by the doctrine of darkness, without mercy.

The extinct order was in the woods.The monster wanders and catches dead meat.He couldn't even get out of the cage, and Manuferno was weakened and dying.

The monsters fell apart as the flash flashed.

Let's go with us!

It was Ergonote and Faria who saved us.

Did you happen to pass by on your journey?Or did they escape from the Demon King's army?It soon became clear that they were two very well-established people.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I also have a cute cat ear, a young boy.The painful restraint marks on his neck and ankles told of his slavery.

"...... Shugen (Yeah)"

Manuferno was thus saved.

I got real freedom.

At the same time, it was the beginning of a battle for life.

A fierce battle journey called the Demon King's Crusade.Meet a bunch of people and start an epic adventure.

Well, well...

Yeah, I see.

“Think back. I'm sorry, I just remembered the old days.”

The painful past is far from being remembered.

Guggle loved himself like this.He told me we needed to live together for the rest of our lives.

I'm incredibly happy.

I gently hold my two precious toddlers in my chest.

Tears spilled.

God, please.

"If there really is a god..."

May these children... be ordinary children with nothing to do with magic, such as Portura and Mint.

Although Guglé was expecting the children.

I don't want magic from these children (...).

A normal child without the power of magic is fine.

Like Riola and Iola, at Ganbari-san.No, as long as you grow up well.

I want you to grasp the modest ordinary happiness of living normally in a corner of town.

It might be my parents' wish.

Manuferno leaned his cheeks against the children, as he prayed.

Outside the window, she, Pantillaski Kejarkov, could not resist the black magic runaway and desire.

I understand a bit.

Unlike my own situation, I once rampaged the magic of decay and withered the surrounding forests.

At that time, Gugre-kun stood up and stopped me.Is there such a person in her life?

"Ahh! Mother Manu (Mom)! What are you so puzzled about!?"

Spiarno came back in a hurry.He pulls his hand back and tries to get him out of the room.

Looking back again.

And I saw something unbelievable.

"D-Dragon!? And three beatings!" Damn, damn, damn! "

Spiarno trembled and pushed Manuferno's back.

Giant dragons came from the sky.Black and green dragon. And a total of three dragons with beautiful silver scales.

They were dragons with wings in the sky.

It's really not cool.

Kejarkov, you can't get back on your feet.

I uttered a human language. No, it was a magic wave.So those dragons must be Pruvusian wizards.

... but he's one of us.

A giant silver dragon grabbed Pantilaski Kejarkov with its claws and tore away the restraint of the vines.

"Ah, ahhh...! Beautiful Voznesense-sama...!"You're here to help me!I'm happy, I'm happy... "

Kejarkov rejoiced and wept.

"- Don't get me wrong. You can still use it."It's a wonderful feat to apply the Zero Remortier Encroachment to gargoyles."It's a hint of an autonomous, full-fledged magic army..."However, the results are sporadic. "

Magic communication is by nature inaudible to others.But is it possible that the magic waves of Manuferno and Kejerkov are similar?They are unaware of Manuferno's presence.

"W-what is this...?" I'm a wise man... and I've been beaten up by my disciples of Guglecus... "

"Humph, you're pathetic. I didn't expect you to be ranked second in the ranking."

― ― Guglecus the Sage wasn't scared enough.False wizards, such as Katsuzumi.The next time I see you, I will be perfect, and I will close the curtain with my victory. "

"The Rock is dear Lord Voznesense...!"

-Let's leave here, Voznesense-sama.

The dragons soared into the sky.

--You have company, thank goodness.

The saintly lady and the dragons were soon distant and invisible.Manuferno felt a little relieved and walked out with Spiarno.
