The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 30
The demon disappeared on the spot.
It was natural.
Wasn’t it someone else’s in the first place, and wasn’t it an attempt to recreate my ‘nightmare’?
From my point of view, it was no big deal since I had already overcome it a long time ago, but from the devil’s point of view, it probably wasn’t that.
“….”
Siegfried stared at the place where the devil had been for a while.
He’s not a blind guy at all.
Besides, he seemed to have noticed from before.
I would have come to a rough conclusion.
“Siegfried.”
“Ah yes.”
As soon as I called him, he immediately took his eyes off the place.
“Are you okay?”
“Are you okay?” ….”
“You had a face like yours, didn’t you? Even if he was a demon, he wouldn’t have been in a good mood.”
At those words, Siegfried let out a wry smile.
In an instant, several emotions ran across his face, and he shook his head.
“it’s okay. As you said, wasn’t it just hunting a demon?”
“….”
Siegfried did not bother to ask anything else. No, I didn’t seem to consider them important in the first place.
It was true that he was agitated for a while, but not to the extent that the agitation continued.
“Rather than that, since I hunted demons, the chaos in the small Ilkan kingdom will soon subside.”
“What would it be?”
This time, the devil deals with nightmares, and the problem of the small kingdom of Ilkan was the suffering of the people caused by it.
And that ‘nightmare’ is a problem that will be completely solved once the devil himself disappears.
Since the demons were annihilated and the problem was resolved before the problem grew, it could be said to be the best outcome.
well that’s it… ….
“Aren’t you curious?”
“What do you mean?”
“Why is the ‘nightmare’ that the devil took from me in your form and what does the devil mean?”
“….”
At my words, Siegfried was silent for a moment. Then he stared blankly at the sky and continued talking.
“To be honest, to some extent, I noticed right away.”
“I see.”
“You have no choice but to do that.”
Siegfried scratched his head and spoke again.
“Mikhail disapproved of me from the first time we met. No, it’s not that much… ….”
“….”
“You hated me.”
It’s what the guy said.
I hated Siegfried. I felt repulsed by the fact that he became a hero, and I did my best to stop it.
“At first, it just felt unreasonable. Why does Mikhail-sama hate me so much, did I make such a big mistake… ….”
“I guess so.”
“Of course, in the end, it was my fault. Like a puppet, I was playing into the hands of the devil. But it was like that at the time.”
Siegfried continued.
“After that, things calmed down and I kept thinking about it. Why was Michael so hostile toward me? As if you already knew I didn’t deserve it… ….”
“Is it so?”
“What did you mean?”
Siegfried laughed.
“It’s just that much of a story. What do you need to go further from there? Anyway, Mikhail saved the world and I realized something important.”
“It is important….”
“My relationship with my younger brother, who almost fell apart…It’s improving somehow. I myself have changed my mind and am living again.”
yes do you think so
Siegfried’s change is welcome.
“Whatever it was, Mikhail-sama’s choice was not wrong.”
“of course.”
I responded with a snort at the guy’s words.
“If it was going to be wrong in the first place, I wouldn’t have started. I did it because I was sure.”
“Yes, if it was Mikhail, of course you would.”
Siegfried said so and inserted his sword.
It was a bonus to complain that there was nothing to use after picking it up.
“Come to think of it, how was ‘me’ in Mikhail-sama’s memory?”
“I was a jerk.”
“Something like camaraderie?”
“….”
He closed his mouth for a moment.
Brotherhood with Siegfried… ….
I was a colleague once.
There was some friction, but if I had denied that he and I were colleagues, we wouldn’t have been together until the end.
That’s why the feeling of betrayal was even greater.
“It wasn’t. Initially.”
“Initially…I mean.”
Siegfried said that and nodded. It’s an expression that said that was a sufficient answer.
Certainly those harsh times.
A guy named Siegfried was far from being a ‘hero’ who represented everyone.
Actually the results speak for themselves.
But what if it was a peaceful era when nothing special happened?
If it were a peaceful world where there was no need for harsh responsibilities or obligations… ….
“….”
I stared at him quietly.
Seeing him calm like that even though he’s been through all sorts of things, it definitely feels like he’s grown quite a bit.
“…It seems to be like now.”
“yes?”
“No, nothing. It was just a meaningless self-talk.”
I said roughly that and turned around.
“let’s go. We’ve solved the problem, so there’s no reason to stay here any longer.”
“Yes, it is.”
Siegfried obediently followed me as if he had no regrets left.
After walking for a while, he suddenly called.
“Come to think of it, Mikhail-sama, can’t we call ourselves ‘friends’ now?”
“….”
I couldn’t completely deny something about what he said.
At first, the only thing I could think of was George. ….
‘I never thought it would turn out like this.’
If it was like before, I would have knocked on him asking if he was saying such a thing, but somehow I don’t feel like that now.
I just looked at him without thinking. However, the guy shrugged his shoulders in an instant, perhaps feeling the intent to kill even with that gaze.
“If that makes you uncomfortable….”
I said to that guy.
“It’s similar.”
“…yes?”
The Demon God was also destroyed anyway, and this guy also came to his senses.
Besides, this guy from ‘before the regression’ is different from this guy now.
He showed that he had changed, but there is no reason to continue to show hostility to this guy.
I said it to the stiff guy.
“You are right. friend.”
Certainly, my relationship with this guy right now might be similar to that.
A lot has changed.
Since Siegfried has also changed, the relationship between him and me cannot be the same as before the return.
I hope I will think like this.
“under.”
Because it’s not really funny.
* * *
“Thank you very much Siegfried-sama, hero…!”
Leo II bowed his head and expressed his deep gratitude.
We accepted the gratitude in moderation and left the palace.
Anyway, the rest of the issues are for the King himself to solve, and our work is over here.
“There won’t be any problems, right?”
“doesn’t exist. You confirmed that there are no more demons, and you checked all possible other problems.”
Now, at least it can be said that the Ilkan small kingdom won’t have a headache over things related to demons.
Although Leo II spoke of a reward, he refused. I wouldn’t have known in the past, but to be honest, I’m not lacking enough to receive anything.
“Come to think of it, did you say that the next destination is Gyoguk?”
“What is it, but….”
If this was the original plan, of course I would have gone straight to the church.
but.
“My father is keeping his eyes wide open, but it’s a bit like going to church now openly.”
“ah.”
In an instant, Siegfried’s eyes changed to those of pity.
“You have to approach it with some caution.”
“…I still think so.”
I even thought about the smoke screen operation because of that.
Still, if I worked hard to avoid my father for three years, wouldn’t my anger subside to some extent?
Of course it’s hopeful, but… ….
“Come to think of it, what about Ariandel?”
“Ah, if it’s a saintess… ….”
Siegfried said to me as if nothing was wrong.
“Are you just working hard?”
“As expected.”
“Anyway, a position is a position, so there are a lot of responsibilities. well of course… ….”
Siegfried continued with a subtle expression.
“…Although there are times when you stare blankly into space.”
“I see.”
Whatever it is, it will be something to go and see.
I nodded my head at the guy’s words while stroking the long hair I was used to.
Anyway, let’s have a small talk and arrive at the place where the party is.
[What are you done already?]
The first thing you see is a set that is lying around and then slowly raises itself.
After being released from his duties as an apostle to a certain extent, Set was quickly becoming a foodie.
“Today, too, you are living an endless life like a slug, Set.”
[A slug isn’t bad either.]
“….”
In the old days, people would have gone wild after hearing this, but the child was liberated in many ways.
[Uhhh….]
Anyway, the set glided up and climbed up my arm, then fell flat on my shoulder.
And then… ….
“Are you here?”
“Are you here soon?”
Ryan and Eileen.
Both of them were lounging around leisurely.
If it was like the old days, I would have practiced in my free time, but I think these two have solved a lot.
And finally, Wise.
“Mikhail, let’s bounce quickly!”
No, why are you suddenly like this?
He was urging me to sweat like crazy. As if the danger of death was imminent, the vivid fear dwelling in both eyes… ….
“Why are you like this all of a sudden?”
“Why are you doing this! I don’t want to be captured by Walpurgis!”
“….”
no i don’t like that… ….
Of course, it’s understandable why Wise is doing this.
‘I don’t want to die.’
Wise, as the originator of ‘Walpurgis’, would not be worried only about Remegeton.
Wasn’t the father also one of Wise’s ‘descendants’?
From Wise’s point of view, it was utterly disrespectful.
In a way, there must be a feeling of not being able to solve my karma and passing it on to my father.
“I’m still thinking about jumping.”
Dad’s touch should be a little better.
In my opinion, staying still here is no different from committing suicide.
“Of course, don’t worry too much. Even after all this, I’m a great mage from the 10th circle. Even if it seems that there is little chance of being caught if the distance is widened like this… ….”
“So you jumped out like that?”
“….”
They hit me with facts in a mean way, really.
Anyway, I’m aware that I can’t stay here for long as I’m on the run.
I asked Leo II to crack down on it, but rumors don’t stop spreading just because they’re cracked down.
“Come on, stand up.”
I immediately decided to leave the small kingdom of Ilkhan after telling the party to stand up.
“Siegfried, what are you going to do?”
“As I said, I plan to rest here for a while.”
Siegfried said that with tired eyes and buried himself on a nearby sofa.
“Besides, if His Excellency the Marquis of Walpurgis comes, wouldn’t it be necessary to have a role to spread false information in moderation?”
“Can you?”
“I’ll do whatever I can.”
Siegfried said that and shrugged.
“Well then, you decide to do that….”
I looked back at my companions and said.
“Come on, let’s jump.”
“Where are you going?”
“That’s a good question.”
Responding to Eileen’s words, I decided to tell you about the ‘probable plan’ I had just made.
“Going to church right away is suicide. There’s no way my father could have predicted my destination.”
“…So?”
“But what if I teleport to random coordinates?”
It’s roughly excluding our territories or religious states from the candidate pool and moving anywhere with random coordinates.
“No, they said they were going on foot. Where did you throw away your beliefs?”
“Believe and nothing is more important than survival.”
“Right.”
Lian nodded.
Then Weiss said softly.
“By the way, even if you exclude those two regions as candidate groups, there is no chance at all, right? There is no such thing as 0% coordinates, right?”
“Eh, even if I tried, there would be a 0.01% chance, would that take it?”
Considering that my regression success was 1% on the premise of ’10 circles’, the overall probability would be about 0.001%.
Only 10 times that chance.
This is a very unlikely chance unless you’re extremely lucky.
“Gazua!”
With a confident voice, he immediately dragged the party and attempted to teleport.
and.
Welcome to the estate of the Marquis of Walpurgis!
As soon as I arrived, the familiar flag fluttered in front of my eyes. Standing in front of it, I muttered quietly.
“Oh Evande.”
I’m tired
