The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

Stories of ~ * * * * * Part 2 ~

Eventually, in the woods inhabited by the Spirit Queen of the Woods and the hunter, the hunter's family and friends, their families and even more friends gathered to form a small village.

Hunter's family and friends are all kind and good people.

It doesn't bite like a forest demon, and it works better than a forest beast to create a comfortable stain.

He taught more songs to the Spirit Queen than the birds, and lived amicably with the Spirit Queen as well as friendly forest animals and spirits.

The spirits and animals living in the village loved the dandelions, and everyone joined forces to create a paradise-like village.

Living surrounded by so many companions, the Queen of the Spirit and the Hunter are even blessed with cute man babies, and the two are full of happiness.

But that happiness doesn't last long.

Very, very unfortunately, demons are incompatible.

Until now, I had fun living with the Queens of the Spirit.

The demons can't stop hating to live happily with the Queens of the Spirit.

Until now, it was part of the forest, and the place that was free to run around was now a village and demons could not enter.

Although the village is only a fraction of a vast forest, the demons who have been deprived of their place can't stop hating it.

The angry demons attacked us one day to regain their place.

"I wonder what happened to the village?

"Village?"

"Yeah. The Spirit Village. The demons attacked me."

"Emily read me a book today about the Spirit Queen of the Woods coming out. Mother."

"Well. That's the story. So, shall my mother talk to you next?

"Mmm. Fine. I'll see you tomorrow. I promised."

Other Loveless Parent-Child Conversations Before Sleep. After enjoying such time, Elmera returned to the living room where her husband, Void, was located.

"What about the kids?

"I fell asleep."

Elmera sits next to Void as she leans in. A warrant was placed on the desk for each of them. Request to participate in the second Red Dragon Crusade from the Labyrinth Crusaders. Last time there were only two warrants delivered to Elmera. This time. Void's share is also added.

"What's on the warrant?

"Same as last time. It says to ask for help for the future of the labyrinth city. The soldiers I brought with me were polite, and I didn't threaten or coerce them."

Void scratches the contents of the letter to answer Elmera's question.

The last Red Dragon crusade ended in failure. There was no death caused by the English break between the rushing Void and Leonhardt, but there were no hands or feet against the flying opponent. More than a month has passed since then, but we have not found a way to draw the Red Dragon down to the earth.

The Red Dragon seems to have understood the magic range in advance and does not come within range. But the Red Dragon brace has a much longer range than magic because it descends according to gravity. Even though the barista was picked up from Teito, the exit of the Red Dragon hierarchy was limited to one location and the inability to travel quickly, so it seemed likely that the Red Dragon would burn down with the Red Dragon brace before setting a target for the Red Dragon.

"I'll go this time."

"No, you! If you do that……………………"

Hermella stops Void from announcing his participation in the war.

"It's okay, Elmera. I won't forget you (,,,,,,). I remember the time I spent with you from the moment we met."

Elmera holds Elmera's shoulder and puts her weight in a gentle talking void. The face was shaking with only a little anxiety.

It was in the deep hierarchy of the labyrinth of this city that Elmera met Void. Elmera called out to a man sitting on a rock in a dangerous hierarchy of demons.

"It's not safe to stay where you are."

Ever since I spoke up, I thought Elmera was a much more dumb way of speaking up. This is the depths of the labyrinth, far from the hierarchical staircase, which is a safety zone, so it is not a place where the powerless can reach it alive.

It would not be a dialogue between those who know the dangers and those who have the power to face them.

But the man replied, "Right, you should go home soon too," like hanging a child in a park at dusk.

The next day, and the next day, the man was sitting in the same place. Elmera was also concerned about the man and came to see how he was doing every day.

"Hey, how long are you gonna be there?

"I wonder until it's all gone," the man replies to Elmera, who asks.

When Elmera asks her name, she answers "Void" after making a slight gesture of thinking.

"False name," Elmera thought, from a trick to think about when asked for his name. Besides, my eyes were so vain, it seemed as if I was sitting deep in the labyrinth to die. So I'm worried and I'm here to see how things are, but I'm standing there looking the same every day.

The man who named himself Void was so quiet that he didn't look good in the labyrinth where the demons swept, but for some reason the conversation didn't engage. You said you saw him yesterday, but you always talk with that look on your face, like you've never seen him before.

However, Elmera became more and more fond of the calm atmosphere of the Void. Even though it's deep in the labyrinth, it's kind of very reassuring just to be by Void.

Blessed with the blessing of "God of Thunder", Elmera is constantly wearing thin electricity, and if she touches her complexion, she will have strong static electricity. Being able to touch her without caring was about a family completely used to static electricity. So from a young age I have always lived with care not to offend the people around me in outfits that do not show my complexion except in combat.

But Void doesn't even seem to care about Elmera's static electricity at all, which greets Elmera.

It didn't take much longer for such void secrets to be revealed.

This is a deep layer of the labyrinth. There are always strong demons wandering. And sometimes there are stronger demons than usual.

Void literally stood up to me and covered Elmera in crisis. Void's wound, which defeated the demon as it was, looked fatal, but instantly blocked and disappeared. Every attack of an attacking demon is wiped out by Void's skill, The Vain Walk.

Void, who had defeated the demon so much, looked back at Elmera and laughed calmly,

"Are you okay? Lady (,,,,)"

I rang.

Void had completely forgotten about Elmera and the few days he spent with Elmera.

Hermella had heard of the S-rank adventurer known as "Vacancy". It is said to be an invincible shield boasting the defense of the iron wall and superhuman resilience.

"Every time my body recovers, my memories disappear. I won't forget it's like words or social norms......"

Void replied calmly, as usual, to the questioning Elmera. He had a book in his hand, and inside it were tightly scribbled in small letters. It's his diary. I describe it as "forgetting" for convenience, but I don't recall it because my memory disappears rather than forgetting it.

The new page in the diary that I started writing to leave something that I felt a little dear to said about Elmera was surprisingly spelled out.

"I can't believe you forgot your name."

I didn't think I'd lose my name, so I didn't write it anywhere in my diary. That's what I say and laugh at, Void.

"There are so many people in Imperial Capital who call themselves my parents and brothers."

The marked page said so.

Deceived, deceived, deceived.

I can't even remember my name, forgetting I was fooled.

The invincible, the iron wall, the supreme shield, and being treated with it, I don't remember all of it.

On the other side of The Vain Walk, swallowing all enemy attacks, thoughts and memories seem to have swallowed everything that would make me who I am.

Then all you have to do is get swallowed. That's why I was sitting in the labyrinth (here) on the diary page. The words, the way you fight, even the fact that you were a person, until you lost everything.

"Don't cry, Elmera. I'm fine."

Void speaks gently to Elmera, who spills tears and cries.

"It's because I've forgotten all about joy and sadness."

Hermella thinks he's a sweet person. He seems to be the only one who can read from his diary records that have been deceived and injured many times, but is still glad that he is the only one who has been hurt.

"Don't cry, Elmera. You're not as fast as I am. [M] Your body, your mind. So don't be so sad."

Hermella thinks that's not true. It must be sadder than hurting to lose even a broken memory. So isn't this guy sitting alone in the depths of such a labyrinth?

"That's not true!

Elmera cuddles to the void with emotion. It's sadder than anything for her that Void isn't sad.

Sensitive young daughters are raising their emotions to tears. Well, let's sweeten up the thunder control, too.

Babababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababababah

"Ah! Oh, I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. It's not the voltage. Because the other person was a void, it was a catastrophe that had to rush into the healing magician if it was normal, although it went right back to normal after just breathing out smoke for a moment. He said he had been trying to distance himself from people and control them since childhood so that this wouldn't happen.

"No, I'm fine. You're quite exciting, Hermella."

Void, however, was elusive, smiling and forgiving.

"Eh? My name, remember?

"Is that it?"

Later, in a needless development, Void followed the labyrinth with Elmera and lived with her under false identity. Elmera stood out both as head of the herbal department and as the 'Thunder Emperor', so her husband, Void, lived quietly until now without attracting anyone's attention and never forgetting the time she spent with Elmera.

Grandpa Gark, who heard the story later,

"You don't forget the words, do you? Didn't the electric shock make you remember the same thing?

And though he said something without romance, Elmera on a flattering young day, no, perhaps even now that he has two children, considers it a miracle of love.

There's no basis, and I can't do it because it's horrible, like validation. Elmera doesn't even want to think that Void and I would eventually lose the time he spent with three or four more families. I don't even know how long Void's been alive. If you stop by the information Ermela has collected, it seems that you only live a common sense number of years. But it's not necessarily that Void's ability doesn't even heal his old age. Elmera is happy whenever she starts to live with her and finds wrinkles thinly carved under Void's eyes or just a little mixed gray hair in her hair.

Void has always fought for someone. Therefore, I think that I (Hermella) should fight for the rest. Void wants you to spend your life quietly and peacefully.

Elmera recalls the Red Dragon crusade ahead. I went out without informing Void, but Void rushed me to the crisis in Elmera about how he found out. Because of that, Elmera took her life, but that's when Void saw Elmera with a slightly strange face.

It's like I forgot who I was.

That time, you managed to remember me, but next time, I might really lose my memory.

"You don't have to worry so much, Elmera. If you want me to disable the attack without a plan, I say no. But this letter says we found a way to attack the Red Dragon."

Void draws his beloved wife to reassure her.

"Even I don't want to lose my exciting days and memories with you and your children."

The eyes of her husband, which Elmera looked up to, were once vain, not that, but that a definite future could be seen.
