Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

Mary slowly revealed her true colors.

Snake-thin eyes and a wide smiling mouth drew a half-moon shape.

Then she approached me little by little as if she was trying to imprison me in front of me.

“It’s amazing, Kael. Hopefully you will find out.”

She said it so playfully, but on the inside she must have been quite surprised.

The weaker and more delicate the magic, the harder it is to detect it.

It must be embarrassing for me, who is not talented in magic, to have first noticed that even Serin didn’t notice.

In fact, she seemed to be interested, and was carefully examining my expression.

“But how did you figure it out, Kael, you probably wouldn’t have noticed on your own.”

I knew it. I didn’t have to answer that question. I wouldn’t believe it if I had to call him the Demon King anyway.

When I ignored her, she began to hunt down the suspects on her own.

“There is no way that the hero Zerpa betrayed him, and no one in the Empire would know this… Ah! Come to think of it, Cael, did you go to church alone last night?”

She muttered to herself and looked at me with a realizing expression on her face.

Did you steal with that damn magic again? Besides, yesterday it was simply a visit to Ashua.

But she smiled, knowing that now she understood.

“Ah, yes. The Archbishop would have known.”

Saying that, Mary made a face that now she knew everything.

Not knowing the existence of the Demon Lord Lucia, it seems that nothing comes to mind other than that.

Let’s just let it go. The more I misunderstand, the more comfortable I am.

“Well, that’s what you think.”

Anyway, what matters now is not how I found out the identity of that flower.

The problem is that by the time I noticed the magic, the flower bloomer had already done its job.

According to Lucia, it was after the magic had already been cast, and Serine’s memories were all shown to the caster.

So I didn’t have to tell Serene.

It’s too late anyway, because there’s nothing better to tell the kid who’s so happy with just one flower.

Even when I lost to Nike, I was very heartbroken, and when I found out that I had done something wrong, I was sure to suffer from a sense of guilt.

In any case, the person who should suffer the guilt is right in front of you.

A woman who plays with other people’s weaknesses and wishes.

“Mary, what are you doing with her memories?”

“Anyway, how much do you expect that pretty face to be ruined?”

“Yeah, like when you betrayed me?”

“Fufu, this is nothing compared to your despairing expression back then. Kael, you were my best subject.”

“Ha, crazy bitch.”

I let out a sigh mixed in with laughter.

It was the same thing I heard when she betrayed me five years ago.

They were smiling the same way, and just hearing them was disgusting.

“Mary, neither you nor Aurelia have changed from five years ago.”

“Fufu. why? Have you ever been disappointed? For our gentle-hearted warrior, don’t you think it hurts that your colleagues are garbage?”

“No, it’s the other way around. To be honest, I was relieved.”

“······What?”

Mary tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

But I was sincere.

“The fact that you and Aurelia are the same doesn’t mean that Gerald is still the same. So now there’s nothing more to fuss about, right?”

Because I don’t want my heart to be weakened because I’m going to change my mind now.

Rather thank you Until now, it’s always been a piece of garbage.

“Cael. It sounds like they’re trying to get revenge on us.”

“Well. How about that?”

“Why don’t we do that and think a little more rationally?”

Having said that, Mary suddenly held out her hand.

what? Serin cut her ankle, so she wants to cut off even her hands.

But the words that followed were ridiculous and even funny.

“Marry me, Kael, and the two of us will rule this empire.”

“············”.

I was speechless for a moment.

What did these bitches do with the two of them? I’m sitting around with my repertoire.

Even the bizarre atmosphere and the eyes that said he loved me were obvious.

“Hey, I’m sorry, but Aurelia has already used it.”

“okay? But I’m different from him. Throw away all Serin and Aurelia and come to me. What are you going to do on your own anyway, aren’t you?”

She continued with a confident smile.

“Aurelia and Dimitri, all aside, you sit on that throne. I have no interest in power or anything like that.”

“·················ogue.”

“We are rewriting the history of the empire. Of course, if you want revenge for Aurelia and Gerald, I’ll be by your side to help.”

Saying that, she took my hand.

And as he was about to surrender himself very slowly to me, I waved his hand without hesitation.

“Yeah, I heard a lot of plausible bullshit, but I heard it well, so why are you the only one getting out of the revenge target?”

“Yeah, you’ll love that place. You can’t get there alone, can you? But if I, who is called the arch mage and hero, cooperates…”

“no. There is no need for that.”

I’ve come all the way to this far to get revenge, but you want me to get rid of you.

Come on now, isn’t that too conscientious?

It seems that you can’t really empathize with the pain or suffering of others.

So, Aurelia and you, just keep talking like these idiots.

I couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed her wrist and squeezed it tight.

“Mary, you will be paid for all the sins you have committed.”

“Oh, okay?”

“Uh, I’ll make it that way no matter what I do.”

“Fufu. I’m sorry. But you’d better follow me.”

But she patted her head with her opposite hand and pointed her gaze behind me.

There, I saw Serin sitting at the table and eating.

“Aren’t you excited to see what I’ll do to Serin?”

“Huh, so?”

“If you stand by my side, I won’t touch Serin. Add a throne on top of that. How about this?”

“Do you think you’ll be intimidated by just stealing some memories?”

“Yeah, that’s why I wrote the numbers down for that alone.”

She gave a relaxed smile as if she had caught some great weakness.

But no matter what she said, even if I had to die, I had no intention of accepting that offer.

“Then I can smash your numbers.”

“Whoa, Kael. No matter how strong you are, you can’t control my magic. You know that? Magic can only be broken with stronger magic.”

No matter how well he wields the sword and strong power, he cannot dispel magic.

That was fully realized while traveling with her. Every time I entered the sealed space, I borrowed her power.

The other way is to kill the magician, but there were too many eyes to see now to kill her.

If you kill her, who hasn’t been proven guilty yet, things could get messed up in the future.

knowing that, even if you come within my range now, you can be relaxed like that.

“Then, Cael, think carefully and let me know later. Whoops.”

Having said that, she passed me by and entered the venue.

I was left alone on the terrace and watched Mary’s back view as she walked away.

A relaxed and disgusting smile that never loses.

From the beginning to the end, he is confident that he has the upper hand and looks down on his opponent.

I know where that leeway comes from.

One comes from the belief that I will never be able to kill myself,

Another was the freedom that came from not feeling any pain even if I killed him.

A magic that eliminates pain and negates pain.

It is a magic that she developed independently and has not shared it with anyone and has been using it alone until now.

On the subject of enjoying hurting others, he does not allow his own suffering.

That arrogance, that leisure and arrogance.

“I’m going to strangle you today.”

As she said, a mage with more magical power was needed to dispel magic and rites.

And there is no mage stronger than Mary on this continent right now.

Yes, among ‘humans’.

I contacted Siege with Artifact. Since it was in the Imperial Household, there was no fear of being eavesdropped.

“Oh, Shizu. Leave now.”

I don’t know exactly what will happen next.

Because it has already completely changed from the first plan.

But one thing is for sure,

“Yeah, don’t forget to bring him too.”

Today Mary will feel her powerlessness deeply.

*

Mary returned to the chairperson and sat down at the table again.

The banquet was approaching the end of part one,

She continued to enjoy the party, moderately dealing with the approaching nobles.

“Huhu.”

Even though she had been rejected by Cael, she was still smiling happily.

No, I was pretty sure.

That Cael will eventually have to listen to him.

“Am I still? Whoops, that’s the case with you, Cael.”

He knew that the thing he cherished the most was his colleagues.

But five years ago, he was betrayed and he lost all his colleagues. No, it would be correct to say that they all left.

There was only one person who could call him a colleague now, Serin.

‘There’s no way he can abandon his comrade.’

The Kael he knew had never abandoned his comrades under any circumstances.

And it was still the same five years later.

At first, he thought that the throne was approaching him covetously, but all he talked about was the blooming of flowers.

Rather, he was not interested in the throne or power.

‘Is my colleague Serin so precious? That’s a bit envious.’

Mary gave a mischievous smile as she watched Serine stacking and eating.

After the party, I was planning to kidnap him and use it as a test subject, but it became more difficult to kill because it was superior as a material for intimidation.

It’s possible that he killed him for no reason, and his eyes would turn around in a flash.

Mary pondered for a moment how to dispose of Serine, then came up with a good idea.

‘That’s right, it’s okay if you don’t kill it. You just need to be alive, right?’

He threatens that and keeps Kael by his side.

After all, the vitality of an elf is ten times that of a human, so it will be possible even to death.

Mary sips the wine with an intolerable laugh.

‘Then it’s a bit early, but let’s start the operation.’

With that in mind, Mary was about to use her transfer magic.

“Is it you?”

A woman’s voice came in without warning.

Even in the midst of the music and chatter, it was clearly audible for some reason.

Besides, the strange thing was unfamiliar, but it didn’t seem like it was the first time I’d heard it.

“You’re the kid who bullies Kael, right?”

The owner of the voice suddenly stood in front of Mary.

Mary raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.

And as soon as I saw your face, it just hardened.

“uh?”

clink-

Mary dropped the glass with a shriek,

There I looked up,

“found. Cael’s enemy.”

Demon Lord Lucia was looking down at him.
