When I Returned From Another World I Was A Silver Haired Shrine Maiden

"Hey, are you alive?

I peek into the fallen Amoc, vigilant with all my auxiliary magic.

Amoc, who was subjected to powerful magic thunder that wouldn't even leave a charcoal extinguishing if he was a normal person, kept the figure of a person, though he was burned everywhere and in a worn out state.

"I'm not dead... well, that's all I can say"

I got a response unexpectedly.

The same magnificent attitude despite this state of affairs impresses me through a shudder.

"……… Are you alive?"

To be honest, I was relieved. I had no hesitation in taking the lives of my enemies, but I wanted to avoid killing them in this world as much as possible.

"Shall God forsake me? No, I didn't have the will of God from the beginning... I played the pioneer too."

"... it doesn't matter what God wants. I just took you down on my own."

Human beings in different worlds who can feel the presence of God close to them are generally faithful. Sometimes I feel that I have entrusted my destiny to the service of God, and from time to time I thought more of it.

"So, what are we going to do? Do you want to continue? Or do you admit to losing to the adults?

"Admit it, it's my loss - come on, just stop it"

Amoc says in a tone that sounds like he's done it somewhere. But I don't have to go out with him like that.

"……… Alicia?

I'll check with Alicia. He immediately sensed what I wanted to hear and the answer came back.

'It's all right, Mr. Ikto. Now the word has fulfilled the vow magic.'

Amoc looks surprised when he hears the words.

Now that the battle was over, I was opening a channel for a conversation with Amoc, and Alicia's words had reached Amoc as well.

"What is the meaning of the pledge..."

Certainly a pledge would be pointless to the person who says he's going to die now.

I answer Amoc's question with a chant of magic.

"Here's the thing... Highest heel healing spell."

Warm light envelops Amoc and soothes as burnt skin swells.

"... what... are you doing?

"The battle is over and your ambitions are crushed. Then there's no reason to do this any more... and if you're still willing, I'm not going to forgive you."

"... No, there's no way I can beat the brave man who defeated the Demon King. Besides, waste of resistance is not a hobby."

Amoc got his upper body up.

The eyes were as powerless and void as the possessions had fallen.

You won't be disobeyed for this.

Besides, right now I am confident that Amoc will manage to resist whatever means he tries.

"Mr. Ikto, let's close the gate."

That's what Alicia proposes in anticipation of a paragraph in her interaction with Amoc.

When I looked up, there was a black hole in the thin dark sky. It is a sphere about two meters in size and creepy.

"I don't think leaving a connection to the world over there is going to have a good effect on this world."

It is not always possible that invaders will not come across the world in the future, and vice versa. I agreed with Alicia that it was better to keep this kind of thing closed.

"But is that okay? You know, homecoming………"

This hole leads to another world. That's the world Alicia was born and raised in.

Because Alicia was an orphan raised in the temple, there were no real families in the world, but there were many people who could be described as close to Alicia.

"In that world I should be treated as one who is no longer there. Another witch will also be elected, and my return may lead to mischievous confusion '

Alicia says so and rejects my suggestion.

"Besides, Ikto's flesh used to be the key to helping me connect my path to this world. So now that Mr. Ikto's flesh has been lost, I must say, it is very unlikely that he will come back to this world again '.

"Is that so………"

I feel sorry for hearing that. I can live with my family, but Alicia doesn't even want a temporary return home.

'Never mind. Mr. Ikto's family treats me like a real family. So I am not lonely.'

"…… Thank you, Alicia."

I thanked Alicia.

"... So, what are you gonna do? As you heard, we're closing this gate now. If you're going back to the old world, now's the time."

Ask Amoc, another otherworldly man.

"Back in that world, there is no place for me, the traitor of mankind... there will be no more clans left"

Amoc looked up at the gate and said.

A lot's happened, but I don't think of Amoc personally. It wasn't this guy's instructions that I messed up with the bad guys, and I didn't feel so bad about using hostages or targeting non-combatant opponents when fighting.

So I wasn't against Amoc remaining in this world.

"Okay. However, if you want to stay in this world, there is one thing you should be sure of."

"... what is it?

"There is no magic in this world. If the existence of magic were to be recognized, this world would be surprisingly confused. That would be interference in this world now forbidden by pledge. So you have a duty to keep the magic secret... you understand?

"… ok. Let us swear by God."

'Then I will close the gate. Follow me and perform the magical chant. "

Repeating the words Alicia spins, I perform a magical chant.

The gates of light and darkness.

The magic was similar in composition to the magic I saw when I came back from another world six months ago. I spin my words to cheer them up.

"- Pray to God I won't close the door. Close the door!

And the magic activates.

When I wondered if the black sphere had worn, it gradually decreased in size and disappeared.

I can see that the connection to the other world is broken and the blessings are lost from the body.

I also thought when I came back to this world, it was a strange feeling that blessings would be lost. A unique sense of loss, like a hollow hole, where something that was filled in your heart would be lost.

'Thank you. Dear Minstia………'

"Thanks for everything...... goodbye"

I bid farewell to the gods who have empowered me so far.

The magic sword that remained in both hands shimmers and disappears.

"…… has God's blessing been lost"

Amoc, who lost his blessing just like I did, was relieved staring into his palms.

"That's right. This has kept me from engaging with the world... and you can do whatever you want without paying attention to God."

"What do you like..."

"Is there anything you want to do?

"... I don't know. I only know how to live as a priest in Daclihipos."

'Then I think we should find it from now on. There's nothing to bind you to anymore. "

"... the witch of Minstia. Did you find it? A godless way of life in this world."

'... Yikes!

"…… well."

Amoc stood up and turned his back on us. And he kept watching the sunset quietly.

"Hey! Are you okay -!?

We can hear you from afar.

That was the Ethereum that had me separated from being involved in the battle.

Ethereum was carrying a cool flower. I can see the abundant breasts of the cool flowers crumbling on the back of the pale...... jealousy.

"Are you done -!?

Ethereal inquiries are repeated.

I responded to that with a full smile and a V sign of victory.
