The great mage who transcends by returning, Episode 9
“Then, I will wait for your next visit.”
The Fairy King politely bowed his head to us when we were ready to leave.
Not just the Fairy King.
Jihad or Muhyul behind him was also waving and saying good-bye.
“No, no mercy, why are you naturally caught in the middle? You said you were going today too.”
Muhyul answered my question.
“I’m going to teleport.”
“….”
“Is it because I’m older? To be honest, it’s a bit of a walk.”
It was a merciless persuasion that was not persuasive at all. Well, if this person said that, then that would be it.
let’s say that
‘The world tree… ….’
I can’t see it at all, maybe it’s because he can’t stand in front of us with his sober mind.
what can it be
With that thought in mind, I went out into the woods.
By the time the trees that were visible everywhere gradually disappeared and the plain land appeared.
“…hmm?”
An elf girl sitting on a rock and quietly waiting for us.
No, it was the world tree.
With the magic I gave her, the disguise was brilliantly successful.
When she saw us approaching, she jumped down from the rock and said,
“You are going now.”
“I mean, there are so many things to do. I should have a lot of bucket lists prepared.”
“but.”
At my words, she smiled warmly and nodded her head. A benevolent and warm smile like a world tree.
“Goodbye. If you think of it someday, you can visit me again.”
“I will.”
Anyway, I thought I would visit the forest again someday. It is a place where many memories are made.
“and….”
The world tree’s eyes turned to Wise.
Wise was looking away with a gruff expression on his face, but he didn’t feel like he was rejecting the World Tree.
“Thank you, Solomon.”
“…joy.”
“Thanks for comforting me. You may not have very good feelings for all of us.”
At that, Wise frowned and spoke to the World Tree.
“It’s Wise.”
“Okay. Wise.”
The World Tree looked at Wise with a strange smile and said.
“If you too can forgive everyone someday, come visit me. I have no shame, but I will welcome you.”
“….”
At those words, Wise looked at the world tree for a moment.
“Tsk.”
He clicked his tongue briefly and nodded his head slightly.
The world tree just laughed as if that was enough.
Her gaze turned towards the set this time.
“And sister.”
[Yeah.]
“When I saw you last time, Tot got his eyes wide open so he went looking for his sister….”
[Yes, I can’t hear you~ Set, baby.]
Set immediately covered his ears and tried to deny what the World Tree said. It is truly a tearful sight.
“Eh….”
The World Tree shook his head at the sight of such an unsatisfactory older sister. And soon, his gaze turns towards me again.
“I have one last thing I want to tell you, Mikhail. Is that okay?”
“Ah yes. Please tell me.”
I don’t know what the hell they’re trying to say, but I decided to listen anyway.
And the world tree said in a sad voice somewhere.
“The staff made from parts of me blushed quite a bit.”
“….”
this.
I didn’t have anything to say, so I glanced away, and the world tree said with a saddened expression.
“Please don’t treat me too harshly. After all, there are no demons to deal with anymore.”
“…hmm.”
It is true that there are no demons to smash heads.
I glanced at the staff.
Now it was just red.
No, it was red from before, but now it should be said that it is dark red beyond the depth.
“Yggdrasil-nim, how about looking at it with an open mind? Wouldn’t it be a mindset that is behind the times that the staff must maintain their color?”
“….”
“I think we need to look at the situation positively. If you think of it the other way around… …Now, even if there is blood on it, it won’t show.”
Yes.
Now, no matter how much blood is spilled, the color of the staff will not change.
Because there is no place left unburied.
[You’re good at talking, but doesn’t that just mean there’s nowhere else to fall?]
“….”
Set giggled from the side, but decided to pretend he hadn’t heard.
Anyway, it is.
and final conclusion.
“The staff is mine now.”
I can do whatever I want.
With those words, I quietly looked at the world tree. She looked at me and then looked up.
“…okay.”
Soon after, he nodded his head with a sad expression.
* * *
– My baby….
The world tree looked at my staff for a while with that expression, and then returned to the forest again.
Now there is really only one thing left to do to head to the next destination.
It was time to move around again.
There were many places I wanted to visit and many things I wanted to do.
‘It’s something I want to do… ….’
It was a little different before.
It was something I had to do rather than something I wanted to do. I was chased by time and I just looked ahead and moved.
I had a need for that too.
But what about now?
Now you don’t have to be bound by those restrictions. This moment is completely my own.
“After that, is this [life]?”
[Michael, did the adolescent trooper move from Lian?]
“What a terrible sound.”
Did you move from Ryan?
How could you make such a terrible and cruel sound to me? Even if you look at the set sometimes, there are times when people are really harsh.
“It’s not something to say like that. Don’t you know that there are people who can be hurt by every single word you say?”
[No, even if you say that….]
Take care of your conscience.
Set said roughly that and tapped my shoulder with his foot.
Whatever.
“The next destination is hmm…For now, I’m holding it as the Paslov estate, but I don’t know if this will be okay.”
“Is there anything going on?”
Wise asked as they walked alongside.
After talking with the World Tree, Wise feels a little more at ease than before.
Although I don’t know exactly what the story was about.
“Come to think of it, Wise.”
“hmm?”
“Are you feeling more comfortable?”
At my words, Wise quietly looked the other way and said in passing.
“Something.”
“That’s it.”
After all, there are no gods in this world anymore, and there are very few demigods who have memories of the age of mythology.
And it won’t last forever either. Regardless of the time, the number of transcendent people like the World Tree, including the apostles, will decrease one by one.
The more that happens, the more important the ‘now’ is. Now that we can share each other’s memories.
All of them will become precious memories and support everyone.
“It wouldn’t be bad to talk about this and that in the future. After all, she and the apostles are the only ones who remember that distant past.”
“that….”
It wouldn’t have been completely resolved if it had accumulated just this much.
But if Weiss wants to reach out, I’ll do anything. Of course, I have no intention of forcing you to make that choice.
Whichever way it goes, isn’t it all Wise’s choice?
Either way, Weiss wouldn’t be particularly unhappy. He’s a wise guy in the first place and will move in the right direction for himself.
“Don’t worry about anything.”
Weiss immediately laughed.
He shrugged his shoulders as if there was no need to worry.
“There is a lot of time. It may not be forever, but enough to get your feelings under control and rebuild your relationship.”
“hmm.”
“It means that the time allowed for me is enough as long as you are leisurely walking around fulfilling that bucket list or something.”
That’s why we won’t be in a hurry, Weiss said.
If he’s like that, then that’s it.
“Well, that’s it.”
I nodded at his words and started walking towards my destination again.
“But are you going to go there on foot again?”
“It is, however.”
“…Again, it will take a lot of time. This is true.”
Wise grunted but followed me, walking side by side.
“Oh, and then there’s a story about an unknown assailant appearing lately.”
“…monster?”
“I don’t know, but they say he’s walking around with a lot of resentment. Did you say revenge?”
Revenge in this day and age.
I think it can’t be a really bloody goal.
“If anyone is in trouble on such a subject, he helps like a ghost…I don’t know who the hell you’re taking revenge on.”
“hmm.”
A good revenge demon… ….
I don’t know what it is, but first of all, I think the revenge target will be pretty hard.
Still, I was quite intrigued, so I sneakily asked Weiss.
“Have you heard anything about looks? Or maybe it’s a feature.”
“Hmm, if it’s a feature….”
Wise tilted his head and then spoke to me.
“I heard that it suddenly jumps out of the ground? I don’t know.”
“….”
At that, I was silent for a moment.
For a moment, ‘someone’ I knew passed through my mind.
Emerging from the ground, strangely kind and with a firm vendetta against someone in particular… ….
“…hmm.”
It’s not that I don’t remember anything.
…wouldn’t it?
probably not
* * *
It takes quite a bit of time to walk purely on foot from the forest to the Parslov Manor.
Of course, there were several territories that had to be passed through in the process.
And that also meant that I could leisurely look at various scenery and encounter a variety of situations.
Naturally, of course.
“hmm.”
In the process, it also meant that the ‘bucket list’ I had prepared would come true one by one.
“Ouch! you the hell… …!”
Watching the thieves fall down screaming, I crossed a line on my bucket list.
39. Defeating bandits
Well, at this speed, it might be possible to solve the entire bucket list surprisingly quickly.
Thinking so, I looked around.
“Big….”
Groups of thieves scattered everywhere in a mess.
They are the ones who are pampering themselves by taking advantage of the recently lax security.
“You bastard….”
The guy who seemed to be the leader of the thieves spoke with his eyes wide open.
“I heard that a ‘hero’ has recently been roaming around this area, but you… …Are you the hero’s companion?”
“…what?”
what a bullshit again
I haven’t been around here lately. Besides, even though they are heroes, these guys are third-rate people who don’t even need to use magic.
He probably didn’t have enough contact to look at me like that.
“Ha, the hero’s colleague… …Keck!”
Before he could even finish his words, my furious staff hit the head of the head of the thief.
“Where are you talking half-bastard?”
“City City….”
“city?”
He quietly glared at him with his eyes wide open.
“I will correct…?”
Then, he slowly corrects his words and turns his head.
yes it should be
A guy who lives sucking other people’s blood is mean to me. back very far
“Even if there were heroes in the first place, would they bother to pass this area? If it’s just you guys, just one decent territory knight is all it takes.”
“…I have a hero.”
The thief boss, who had been taught etiquette, spoke politely.
“Right now, I heard that a warrior appeared yesterday and defeated the monster….”
“What is your name?”
“No that…What was it?”
The leader of the thieves tilted his head as if he couldn’t remember, then shouted.
“ah!”
“Oh yes.”
“Mikhail…!”
“Yes, Mikhail.”
That’s my name right… ….
“Purbalgis!”
“….”
I hit the thief’s head again as he tried to shout something.
“What is this bastard talking about again….”
“Ke-ke-hek! Oh no, that’s right! The hero himself said that?!”
The boss shouted urgently.
“It’s Mikhail Purvalgis!”
“….”
I quietly looked up at the sky.
Even so, I am quite proud of my family.
I made a promise to that.
‘kill.’
I don’t know what kind of guy is pretending to be me, but I’ll split his head no matter what.
