The Former Witch Reincarnated as A Village Girl

44 Stories: The Anomalous Monster

With the sun abominably shining, Corsal, the captain of the Saints, was exploring the city with several of his companions. All the faces of the mighty, the people of the city were also asking what was going on with their faces peering through the windows of the house. Coasal's expression is stiff. It was as if we were going to war now. No, that's not wrong. Different sizes, but they're going to get rid of monsters.

"Did you really have sightings around here?

"Yes, Captain. I'm scattering my people right now to find them. I'll surround him and slap him right away."

One of my men confidently answered Corsal's question whining while wiping the sweat flowing from his forehead. A few hours ago, there was a report of a strange monster appearance on the outskirts of the city. I don't know if it's true, but I sent a few of my men, and they didn't come back no matter how long. Determining that this could have resulted in the emergence of a truly alien monster, the coursal soon headed for a crusade that formed the Knights. And they're scattering the knights where the sightings came from, trying to hunt down the monsters.

"His body will be transported soon. Hey, this is the number. You can't beat the number of monsters."

That's what my men said as they put their arms together. I question whether the coursal would go so well with that attitude. If we do turn all the knights around, maybe we can win. But the enemy is still incomprehensible. I don't even know exactly what the purpose looks like. It's highly dangerous to set up a direct ball battle against an opponent like that. Corsal wanted to focus on his opponents first if he could. But I'm not going to let my motivated men get in the way. I called out not to force it for once, but what happens when I do? Corsall hoped it would be his own thoughts if he could, gripping and strangling his fist.

At that time, an explosion sounded from a short distance away. I don't know what happened. The coursall looks around. The knights waiting around also lowered themselves as frightened by the sound of that too loud. The explosion sounds stronger and closer eventually. And at the next moment, a monster appeared wrapped in something like a black tentacle from the private house in front of the coursers. blowing up a piece of wood. It goes down to the ground and slaps something in the hand onto the ground. It was the Holy Knight.

"Become......!!

"I will not forgive this few who hinder my way... even if that is a righteous knight...!!

That's what the monster shouted as he raised a heterogeneous voice that sounded multiple times. If you look closely, the monster came out. The private house had holes as pierced, and many knights had fallen on the other side of it. It was all the knights who were in the midst of an enemy. The monster noticed the presence of an enemy that was approaching him, and on the contrary, he came all the way here. As soon as he realizes it, Kosal pulls out the sword that was on his back. Understand how heterogeneous the enemy in front of you is and increase your alertness even further. But the men next door were different. With anger he rose his ambition and flew to the monster, waving his sword down.

"You monster. Yeah, yeah!!

"Stupid. You think you can bury me with something like that!!

But the sword I waved down was easily caught by the monster. Despite his strong clenching, the monster's arm did not get a single cut, and on the contrary, when he lifted his sword, he also lifted the man's matter as it was, slamming him vigorously on the ground. In just one blow, the man peels off his white eyes and passes out, falling into a state of non-combat. The monster threw down his sword in an abominable exhalation.

Everyone couldn't move in any way because of fear. The knights are too afraid of the monster's vicious behavior to face them. In the meantime, only Korsal approached the monster one step while gripping and strangling his sword. The monster who noticed it moved his eyeballs, visible from the gap between his tentacles, and turned his gaze towards the coursal.

"Step forward... and I will see you as my enemy. If you don't want to die, stay away from me..."

The monster advised so as its muscles amplified and turned to thick arms hardened like lead. Coursall opened his eyes unexpectedly, stopping his legs and laying his sword low, not thinking he could communicate. Only remain alert and maintain that state by being able to attack at any time. It is quick to talk if words are to be exchanged. Coursall spoke to the monster as he sent signals to his men behind him.

"Well, what do we do?... I want to avoid fighting monsters like you, even as I am. But come on, you make the city too anxious... what the hell is your purpose?

"My wish is the eradication of evil. That's it... destroy all evil and rid the world of rot"

"Ho, that's great..."

While the coursal exchanges words with the monster, the knights rise after seeing the captain facing them and regaining their will to fight. He refused to leave so as to surround the monster, and each pulled out his sword as he hid in the shadows of things. No sound is made, and the cold sound of pulling out the sword is scratched off with the sound of a piece of wood breaking down. They're all in position. How about an ambush because you can't push how many? Not something to be praised for as a knight, but this monster must be crushed here. Coursall, who instinctively felt it, tried to send a signal. But then.

"Did you think you could tailor me with such a small worker!!? Both stupid pictures!!!

The monster barked. It was all noticed. The monster looked back at his fist big enough to hit the ground. The road collapsed into its too much power, and stone fragments scattered around it. The shock blows the knights away and the fragments pierce them and scream. Everything, everything, doesn't work. The coursal stood up to the monster who, feeling desperate, lay his sword on him and attacked him.

Shatia and Emerald were gathering information on monsters and knights in the city. Even so, the Knights are famous, so if you ask the people of the city, they will get an answer as soon as possible, and if you want to hear more about it, there was no problem going directly to HQ. But the information on the monster at heart did not gather inside. I don't even know how many minutes that looks like, and the sightings are terribly scarce. When this happened, we decided that we had to collect as much information as we could on our feet, and Chateau and Emerald decided to separate and investigate separately. And now, Shatia was somehow walking down the path of the King's Capital, looking around at the familiar scenery.

"It hasn't changed much around here... well, it hasn't been that long, naturally"

It was the path near the School of Magic that Shatia was walking on. Huge schools can also be seen in the distance. It hasn't been that long, so there hasn't been a significant change in appearance. Shatia looked around with chillari and leaked her voice when she fumed.

(Sure, it was around here that I first met Liika...)

Unexpectedly, Shatia remembers Lika, who was with her when she was attending the School of Magic. He is a teacher who taught magic himself for a short period of time and taught magic techniques. It's not that thick on sentiment, Shatia, but I kind of remembered her, and now I wonder what she's doing.

"Shatia...?

……

That's when I'm called in with a familiar voice from behind. Shatia looked back and there was Lika in the school uniform.

"Lika......"

"I knew it...... it's Shatia! Were you back in Wang Du?!

Shattia shrugged Pottori and Lika's name, and when she heard it, Lika nodded too and was happy to reunite with Shattia. I have more important thoughts than my friends because I am a benefactor who taught myself magic that was a downfall from Lika. Look at Lika rushing over. Shatia calls out oh too, with a gentle grin.

"Long time no see, Lika. I'm surprised to see you again."

"I'm really surprised! When did you get back? Your hands are fine now, aren't they? So when are you in school..."

"Oh, that's the thing..."

I tried to answer Lika's question pale as usual, Shatia, but I stop and think.

Truth be told, I'm not going back to that school. I got the information I originally wanted, and I knew there was nothing more I could learn at that school. Then you won't have to bother going back. Yeah, Shatia just had to tell Lika. But for some reason, I can't say what lies ahead. Often Shatia stared silently at Lika and eventually opened her mouth with a look that seemed complicated to delude her.

"Actually... I'm with my relatives now. It's kind of a mess, and I don't know when I'll be able to go back to school."

"Huh!? What's that? So you can't study with Shatia anymore...?

Shatia appropriately lied that way, and Lika gave a grieving look, terribly unfortunate. He was so excited for Shatia to come back, so he was disappointed when he found out he wasn't coming back. Shatia scratched her cheek with regret.

"I'm sorry. I miss Lika, too."

"But... you've been back in this city for a while, haven't you? Then I'll see you when you're not at school, right?

That's what Lika said in hopes. Sure, while I'm in this king's capital, I can see Lika when there's no school. But that's only while Shatia is staying in this city. It is dangerous for the existence of a witch to remain in one place. Either way, Shatia has to leave when she's done here.

"Oh...... right. I'll see you anytime."

But Shatia couldn't tell me that. She once again spat a lie, this time delighting Liika. I can't study with you at school, but I can still only see Lika while I'm in King's Capital. Even if it was only for a moment, and even if she knew the parting was coming, Shatia could not refuse Lyka's hope.

I think Shatia is fuzzy. I used to make such exchanges one of the witches. But I have never remembered such a distant past.

"Good. I wanted to teach you a lot from Shatia again. Besides, I studied a lot myself. Look at my magic next time!

"Oh, sure. I'll take a good look."

That's what Liika says as she strokes her chest down to relieve herself, promising to show her magic next time. Shatia also admitted that she was a little happy because there was no reason to say no when it came to magic.

"Bye, Shatia. I'll see you around."

"Uhm. It's good to see you, Lika"

Then, after a while of public speaking, Liika broke up with me about the time she had to go home. Until the end, Liika looked happy, caught by it and Shatia smiled. And Shatia was somewhere lonely to drop off Lika as she waved away.

"... it's really good to see you"

Zero potpourri and words. The expression on Shatia's face today had an unreadable expression of emotion at all. I wasn't happy, I wasn't sad, it was just a cold look.

What would she do if she found out she was a witch? and Shatia thinks about it. I really didn't think I'd see her again. I wasn't even going to see him. Don't leave a trail with a witch. Not to mention friends, buddies, etc. Such things are the most shackled. But Shatia wants it in her heart. Someday everyone will understand the existence of a witch. Someone from the next generation.

With that in mind, Shatia also walked away from the scene and headed towards the rendezvous point with Emerald. Join the information-gathered emerald, and as they move, Shatia exchanges information with each other.

"Hmm... I can't gather any information inside. Especially the monster."

"Well, that's why the Knights are after you. It's not that easy to get information."

Emerald adds to Château's words as he walks down the road. The content of the story discusses important matters, but I am not nervous because of their appearance. From the looks of it, it just seemed like the beautiful sisters were walking friendly.

When Shatia thought it would still be quicker to find a monster. A roar echoed from afar. The direction is towards the corner of the city. Quite apart.

"... what's that?"

"Explosion, is it..."

Noticed the roar, Chateau and Emerald turn their gaze in that direction. I see signs of the destruction of private houses, though thin. The people of the city were making noise about something too, and it got mildly noisy. Shatia and the others pull themselves off the spot to avoid being drunk by a wave of people, and ascend to the high ground to see where there was a roar.

"Emerald, you'll get there faster. Go."

"Uh... but..."

"I'll be right after you, too. See what happened and do what you think... Now go."

Shatia's instructions. Emerald tried to return the word, but Shatia's powerful tone erased the word. Apparently, Shatia, who is good at exploring signs of magic, has noticed something. Emerald nodded, deciding to follow honestly here, and ran off the spot. After confirming that Emerald had gone towards him, Shatia sighs quietly and explores the magic around her.

"I feel two strange magic powers... one being the one with the explosion... the other, what? This."

The magic Shatia felt. One was something I felt from where there was a roar. Speculation, but this disastrous magic will be the monster of the matter. There is no mixing of impurities whatsoever and it is filled by a struggle that is truly worthy of calling itself a beast. So, what about the other one? The source is unknown. I just do feel that magic emits a heterogeneous object, and Shatia cared about it.

"Somewhere, is the mastermind hidden? … for example, the guy manipulating the monster…"

I didn't even ask anybody, and Shatia muttered quietly like that. The very existence of a monster is strange in the first place. There is no such thing as a demon, and the race is unknown. Well, would a creature destroy a city for no purpose? If there's a creature manipulating a monster, isn't that more obvious to you? Shatia made that hypothesis and wanted to examine the source of this magic.

After a noisy crowd, she walked out on an unpopular path and began to act for the purpose.

Bounced, pushed, and flown. The sword, which should have been built to cleave, did not mean anything to the alien monster opponent, and the coursal spit blood out of his mouth. Monsters and fists loom right in front of you, swords at critical places to prevent direct strikes, but are blown away by impact. Corsal rolled around as he struck his back on the hard ground, and when the momentum finally subsided he rose in pain all over his body.

"Huh... Huh!

"Brilliant. Unlike the hypocrites who just talk about justice there... a warrior of solid strength and strong will, you are. But that sword won't reach me!

That's what the monster said as he gave praise to the coursall still standing. Around there are demolished civilian houses and knights falling apart. The only thing standing at the earliest was the coursal. The armor that was also wrapped around the coursal was snapped, destroyed, and worn out enough to break if the sword was eaten even after a single blow. While wiping the blood flowing from his mouth, Kosal kept his consciousness firmly in place, pointing his sword at the monster.

"I don't know... it's my job. I must defeat you at all costs."

"Hmm... that's a tricky thing. Fine, then I'll give you my own guidance."

Coursall is not going to run away. He has a responsibility to protect dozens of his men and the people of the city, even if he does what he has to do. Because that's the job. The mission he was given by the king. I'm not going to run away. He shook up his sword, not to be afraid of the approaching monster.

"Ha!!

Whether it was anger or a means to deceive fear, the coursal raised its ambition and waved its sword down against the monster. But the next moment the monster disappeared. A tremendous killing sprang from behind. Immediately Kosal changed the axis of his body and looked back, waving his sword as it stood. Monsters receive swords along with metal sounds. Then the sword broke. Before being restrained, Korsal pulls his sword off the spot, borrowing his sword from the hands of his fainting men.

"It's no use! Give up, sink!!!

"Gu......!

But by the time I realized it, the monster was approaching right in front of me. I can't get out of response. Causal felt sharp pain from his abdomen and his vision was pointing into the sky the next moment. After standing for a few seconds, he realizes that he has been beaten up, and the coursal makes a dull noise on the ground and falls. I couldn't breathe, I managed to exhale as I exhaled blood, and the Causal kept on being conscious. But I can't move my legs anymore. It was the limit of my health.

"Damn... ha... ha..."

"That's it. You fought well. Sleep in peace."

The monster is slowly approaching. I felt dizzy and it was getting harder even to stay conscious at the earliest opportunity, and the coursal just had to shut up and stare at it. As he approached him in front of him, the monster shook up his fist ruthlessly. And when I tried to wave it down without hesitation, a huge mass of magic suddenly flew towards the monster. Where you are, the monster jumps and dodges it, and the mass of magic hits the ground directly to create a giant crater on the spot.

"Who is it!! This fool who obstructs my actions!!

"I avoided the one now......!? Rumors seem to be true that he's a monster."

At the same time as the monster screamed with anger, he heard a bell-like tone that did not resemble him on this occasion. When the coursal looked up in fading consciousness, there stood a beautiful girl like a doll with golden hair. Impossible. Such a little girl...... so thought Kosal let go of consciousness and passed out on the spot.

"What? What! You are!! I don't condone anyone interrupting women and children......!!

"Thanks for the advice. But I'm not worried... I'm not that easy..."

Emerald, a beautiful blonde girl with no fear of monster screams, says so forcefully. The two confronted each other and the monster raised his guard against that heterogeneous presence that appeared. Emerald is also alert to that heterogeneous figure of the monster he finally finds, and doesn't move inside.

The battle between witches and monsters begins.
