Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 159: The Old Woman Speaks

"... I thought you could follow me, but you missed my guess."

That's what Illis said at the same time he arrived in the village.

We visited Solange's house at night and were busy for a few hours.

It was no longer midnight on the village, and none of the villagers were out there.

Only the lights in the inn were lit and I could confirm that people were still awake inside, so when I opened the door, careful not to make a loud noise, the innkeeper boy opened his eyes and stared at the two of them.

"Oh, you guys! Don't surprise me...... I thought a bandit or something had broken in."

Say so.

They had both told the Innkeeper that when they left the Inn, they would come out a little.

The employee boy would have heard that too, but he would still be surprised if the door suddenly opened.

Besides, the two of them didn't stand one footstep until they came to the front of the inn, and they were erasing the signs, so they might have been extra suspicious.

Think about it, Lulu,

"No, I'm sorry...... This is the middle of the night, and I thought it might be annoying to make too much noise."

"I appreciate that concern... but I'd be surprised if you didn't feel any signs so far. If the same thing ever happened, I wouldn't say a little louder, but I need you to make a little noise."

and received the opposite of normal attention.

Then, you two head back to your room.

Since it is a room for two, the room to return is the same.

For once, the collision came with the room, but I'm being driven towards the edge of the room saying that Illis doesn't need anything else.

I'm a good year old daughter, so I think I should be more careful... etc. I stained my relatives uncle, but don't tell me because I can see people saying "no problem" in my mouth.

When Lulu put his coat on the coat hanger in the room, he sat back on the bed and replied to the story that Illis had spoken before entering the inn.

"... Zoe didn't deserve a clear" buddy "from the beginning, like us. So I guess the longest time I've spent thinking about Solange is strong."

Lulu was born in this age as the son of a human race (human).

Memories do have that of the Demon King, but it was only from the beginning that I said clearly my blood-connected parents.

As soon as he woke up, Illis met a companion who said Lulu.

But Zoe is different.

When I woke up, there was no one there, and those I met at the beginning were children of a people (human) who might possibly be enemies.

Besides, if you do a little research, your own species is doomed and it turns out that thousands of years have passed.

In that situation, it is only natural to rely on someone with a slight connection, and if you are the person who raised a decade of months as your own daughter, it is even more so.

In the meantime, I don't know what Zoe was thinking, but there would still have been times when she thought carefully, and there was no doubt that she had missed it.

It is also more obvious than to see the fire that what comforted me at that time was the existence of Solange, a bond built between Zoë and Solange.

So it's impossible not to make the choice to go away from Solange like that and come with the Lulu's.

I thought so.

"Think about it... I was lucky to have you, my brother-in-law. In such a wide world - separated by thousands of years of months and even different to the race - I can only say that I have met... a miracle. Normally, it was supposed to be left behind in land and times where no one knew..."

And in fact, it was the Zoe that was left behind.

"... well, Zoe still had a daughter named Solange. Think of it - Zoe would be lucky too. If I never really met anyone..."

Considering that, even Lulu's body trembles.

At the end of the day, I guess I can't live without someone else, so to speak of demons.

Lulu thought so again and fell asleep in bed.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"This way please, Mother..."

Solange placed the saucer and cup in front of the zoe and poured warm liquid out of the pot there.

As that liquid that raised the hot air fills the cup, I miss the fragrance that spreads over the cabin to say.

It's the herbal tea Zoë once taught Solange.

Some, that tea, which is also mixed with less commonly used medicines in modern times, has a flavour that no one in modern times can make unless taught, and I might say this is proof that Solange is Zoe's daughter.

If you put your mouth on it, the nostalgic scent fills your nostrils and the warmth spreads to the depths of your body.

The stiffness of the body he was feeling seemed to take off, and Zoe relaxed his body as relieved.

Look at such a zoe, says Solange.

"Mother... may I ask you something unexpected?"

"... what?

Solange was a little, cruising, but without silence there, he asked slowly.

Once upon a time, Solange, who did this, would often shut up without saying anything.

That's what Zoe tells us, little by little, as she tries to fool around.

She was a surprisingly handy daughter...

With that in mind, I hear Solange say something that seems to have grown considerably since then.

"Are you sure you want to?

"... you can't say what..."

To such Zoe's words, Solange smiles.

That look is just a little mean, something that never came to mind as a child Solange.

"If you understand... I have nothing to say to you..."

"... yeah. It's okay. I... want to live with you."

"I appreciate your sentiments. Neither can I be happier than this if I can live with my mother. but..."

"but?"

"I also find it a little funny that I say this to my mother... but I don't think it's too healthy for a young man to be honest with his feelings, do you?

Unfortunately, Zoe clearly said that for a moment, she didn't know what to give back.

Up to this point, Zoe had a part of Solange who was somehow conversing with her as she intended to be.

But I knew clearly here that it wasn't.

She assumes that Solange, after decades of months since then, has bitten the sour and sweet of man's world and had a lot of experience.

As a person there seemed to dwell something bigger than Zoe.

I thought from the bottom of my heart that you weren't a child anymore.

Solange continues.

"I don't know how much life the ancient demons have in their entirety...... that I don't know about being a modern people (human). My mother may be a lot older than I am now... but when I look at how she behaves, I remember."

"What the hell?

"Once, when I was traveling around the world as an adventurer, I met young people."

Hearing that, Zoe remembers that Solange became an adventurer, as he said, and for a while, he said he was working.

Technically, he says he still has a place in the Adventurers Union (guild), so he's definitely an adventurer, but he's talking about pulling into the country because the year is old.

Norma, which is supposed to be fulfilled, doesn't have to work on a regular basis either, as he is exempt on the grounds of his many years of contributions.

That's what she says, when she was circling the world as an adventurer, that would be before she pulled into the village like this.

When I was much younger than I am now.

She looks at the zoe now and says she remembers the young people she met there.

Why? Why?

To Zoë, who tilted his neck, says Solange.

"I've been an adventurer for a long time. Young people were rarely asked to mentor them. This was then - a little over twenty years ago..."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

That was just a little over forty years after Solange.

I had felt fading in my body, but I was fortunate to be a magician, and Solange had no doubt whatsoever about its usefulness even when the quality of my work changed.

One request came to her from the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

"... Guidance for Kids?

A long, luscious brunette, luscious woman - Solange said so frowning at the Adventurers Union (Alliance) officials who told her what the request was about.

The official was a young man (human), a neat looking woman with hair all together to her shoulders.

The name is for sure, Solange thinks you said Sandra-Süzel.

Sandra says.

"Yeah. The kid - he's the son of the Baron family... he seems to have talent as a magician. I was asked if you had a good teacher, so I recommended you."

Solange darkens the wrinkles on his forehead to the words he was told as he was being handed the request.

Even though I said it was a kid amulet or something, I came with the Baron's son.

Solange tried to say no, thinking instantly that he refused even if he died, such as such a request, which puffed with a troublesome smell.

But Sandra turned her palms to the front of Solange just before Solange opened her mouth.

"You can't say no, can you? Because this is a request for nomination from the Head of the Final Adventurers Union (Alliance Master). When I hear about nobility, veterans like you will probably try to say no..."

And I was hit first.

It was easy to say I still don't like it here, but my assessment from the Adventurers' Union (Guild) has dropped, and I can't say no given that, even more seriously, I could even downgrade my rank.

Solange sighed and decided he had no choice but to take that request.

At that time, I didn't forget to say something disgusting to Sandra.

"... you remember that"

But it seems accustomed to being offended by adventurers as officials.

With a beautiful smile,

"I won't forget that your work is on my paycheck. Good luck."

And they waved at me.

Absolutely right, it was Solange, who raised his hands to show defeat to a strong official woman and surrendered, leaving the Adventurers Union (Guild) building behind.

"... is this it?

Solange confirmed that the large mansion in front of him was the place, compared to the address on the requisition given to him by the Adventurers' Union (Guild), and muttered so.

Apparently, it's not wrong.

Being able to set up this many halls in the finals must be a nobleman with a lot of money.

It goes without saying that I thought I should ask around the premium instead of being an adventurer of advanced inferior rank such as myself.

But I can't help complaining.

recommended by the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

It wasn't the Baron family that chose it, it was the Adventurers' Union (guild), and it should have been against the Adventurers' Union (guild) that you should hit your anger with.

And as a member of the Adventurers Union (Guild), I can't do that.

In the end, he sighed that he had no choice but to give up and accept, and Solange spoke to one of the gatekeepers standing in front of the hall.

"I'm sorry... am I wrong here at this address?

I talked to the gatekeeper, showing him the requisition form, because this is the quickest way to do it.

I know the address is definitely because Solange confirms it himself, but when I ask him by mouth, he usually says adventurers are treated badly by the nobility, so he can be driven away.

But this way, if you show that it's a request, the more unexpectedly you listen to me.

The gatekeeper is also a job.

If I'm going to get the adventurer out of the way by taking on the request my husband made, I guess it's because I don't know what reprimand I'm going to take later.

There, feeling the sorrow between those belonging to the organization, Solange somehow felt familiar with the gatekeeper.

He was the gatekeeper who stood in front of him and stared at Solange, who was staring at the mansion in a frigid manner, but his expression was clearly softened by the fact that he showed the request form.

On the contrary, he probably had feelings for Solange similar to what Solange felt for the gatekeeper.

"... an adventurer. You got a request from your husband... Hmm. There's no doubt about the requisition form, the authentic one, and the stamp. Come here......"

and is guided inside the mansion with a firm response.

Far from the gate to the door of the mansion itself, in the meantime, as many as two or three houses are likely to be built, Solange follows the back of the gatekeeper, thinking that gold is something where it is -
