There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

79. escape (2)

I didn’t believe that the space magic I was casting for the first time would take us to a safe place, but I thought this wasn’t the case.

That would be what we are now.

“Wow”

It was because it was descending vertically from above the clouds toward the ground.

Seria’s eyes widened as she held me in my arms.

Wounded, she would never be able to withstand the shock on her own.

So that means I have to somehow get out of this situation…

But there was one thing that was really fortunate.

Now I’m in the state of taking off the ring.

It was about being able to use magic.

We concentrated our magic toward the point where we were about to crash.

Layers of black magic were piled up to form a huge net.

Hundreds of threads of magical power were entangled and acted like a soft bed by the time I fell.

fluff.

Rolling over the net while holding Seria in my arms, I checked Seria’s condition.

“are you okay?”

It was Seria who seemed unable to answer due to the pain.

As expected, the wound on the abdomen was still open and had not healed.

Taking the ring out of my pocket, I put it back on.

What I could do was very basic healing magic, so I could only stop the bleeding, but I needed a place to rest for recovery.

“Be patient. Seria.”

After giving her a simple first aid, I started running through the woods with her on my back.

Seeing her body drooping limply, she seemed to have lost consciousness.

Although it was a forest, it was clear that there was a human village not far away from the fact that there was a proper road for a wagon.

As a result of running for about an hour out of breath, a small village about the size of Homeron came into sight.

The starlight that seemed to pour down from the sky illuminated the path.

Arriving at a village with no one on the street, we entered the center of the village where the mayor was likely to be.

Right in front of the plaza in the middle of the village, I knocked on the door of what was presumed to be the village chief’s house.

Bang bang.

An old man with a white beard greeted us with startled eyes.

“no. Who are you?”

“I have a patient. Please help.”

I was in a hurry, so I had to somehow find a place to rest for Seria.

Seeing the blood stains on Seria’s clothes and the blood on my back, the village chief was shocked and gave me one of the remaining rooms to come in.

After putting Seria to bed, I thanked the village chief once again.

“Thank you very much. Chief.”

“No, but how did a young woman get hurt so deeply? Have you met a thief?”

A doll that looks just like me stabbed my stomach.

“yes. The moment the thieves rush in and I lose my eye…”

The village chief looked at me with pitiful eyes.

“Hi-go… What about this… First of all, we will prepare clothes for the wife and children to change into, so change them first. I will bring you some herbs for me.”

“I will definitely repay this favor.”

After receiving a white robe, I returned to the room where Seria was sleeping.

She fell asleep with a frown as if in pain.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

I don’t know if she’s listening or not, but I start to take off her top anyway.

He unbuttoned the buttons on his bloodstained shirt one by one.

Of course, I didn’t take off my clothes for that reason, but I was nervous.

The gulp passed.

Well, since puberty was always the object of my curiosity, it was Seria, so it must have been.

As time passed, Seria’s white flesh, which had grown into a decent woman, was revealed.

A strong body built through exercise.

There was also blood on her white bra.

A deep cut was visible on her abdomen.

No matter who saw it, it wasn’t an ordinary throb.

The doll had already been smashed, but anger rose again.

If you go back, Ashur.

You who ignore my warning will die at my hands.

After safely putting the gown on her, I blankly watched Seria, who was closing her eyes.

There must have been an uproar in the academy by now.

It was an obvious story.

With the appearance of the demons, all faculty and students should have prepared an emergency.

The knights of the kingdom must have noticed that one of their comrades had lost their life.

But it wasn’t Seria who killed that person.

It was enough for me to kill him.

It’s me who became a demon for you, but it didn’t matter that I was accused of such crimes and false accusations.

Someone who cares far more than that.

It was Luna.

The moment I took out the ring.

She was the one who would notice faster than anyone else.

If she finds out that I ran away with the hero…

you will resent me

Even though there was an opportunity to kill the hero.

I saved Seria with the power Luna gave me, even taking out the ring.

Even if an angry Luna asked the demon king to take my life, I was willing to accept it.

If that eases her anger.

I felt like I could die laughing too.

What should I do now…

The days ahead were bleak.

Actually, I tried to ask the village chief where this place was earlier, but I was so distracted that I forgot.

Should I go back…?

I don’t know.

In fact, I was too tired to change my thoughts quickly.

I stroked Seria’s cheek in the moonlight.

“I decided to live for you, so you live for you.”

that’s the only thing i want from you

So I sat under her bed and fell asleep.

“Yes.”

Pain felt in the abdomen.

An unfamiliar ceiling came into view.

My memory of yesterday was hazy.

I’m sure… I was stabbed by Yoo-wol…

no. It wasn’t Yuwol.

I allowed another being in the form of Yuwol to attack me.

And the proof must be the excruciating pain I feel in my stomach right now.

The moment you thought you were dead.

The one who saved me was the person I hated so much.

Dog star.

no. It was June with red eyes.

I didn’t want to believe it, but his voice played in my head once more.

[Look at me. Ceria.]

His sad-looking voice.

[This is me. It’s Sirius June.]

His figure exuding more intense demonic energy than any demon I’ve ever seen…

It was as if I was seeing the demon king’s son.

My body was weak, so I only turned my head and found a man leaning on the bed and keeping his eyes closed.

The demon who saved me from the danger of death.

It was June.

He reached out and stroked his head.

It was crumbly from not washing properly, but that didn’t matter.

“Yuwol-ah…”

His voice didn’t come out properly, but he started moving his body in response to my voice.

“…what happened? Seria?”

he called my name

Instead of Sirius, who had always drawn the line for being a hero, he properly called her Seria.

“…huh.”

Yu-Wol got up and brought a chair next to me and sat down.

My body didn’t listen and my voice didn’t come out properly, but I still had to ask.

“…Yuwol-ah.”

“huh.”

He who does not deny himself and does not answer.

“I want to ask you something.”

“say.”

I took a moment to catch my breath before asking.

“Are you… a demon?”

Yu-Wol didn’t answer and ran a hand through my hair.

After staring at me for a long time, he opened his mouth.

“huh.”

As expected… I must have seen what I saw.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

Yu-Wol nodded.

“Once the wound heals. at that time. I’ll tell you.”

He left the room with the words to rest for a while.

Left alone in the room, I had so many things I wanted to ask him.

How did he become a demon?

Why didn’t you reveal your identity to me?

What on earth is your relationship with Luna?

What happened in the village that day?

Why did you enter the academy?

why did you betray me

I didn’t even know where to start asking.

Soon he returned to the room with the old man who seemed to be the owner of the house.

“Greetings. Ceria. He is the chief of this village.”

I was lying in my mind that I should definitely express my gratitude, but I staggered to my feet.

“Thank you very much.”

“No. no are you okay? miss? You looked very hurt yesterday.”

The old man asked as if he was worried.

“Thanks to you, it seems to be much better!”

I smiled and answered.

The village chief recommended that I eat the soup made with herbal infusion, and Yu-wol, who took over the bowl, sat down next to me in a chair.

Naturally, I held the bowl in my hand and tried to eat it with a spoon, but for some reason he refused to hand it over.

“…Wouldn’t you give it to me?”

I asked, holding out my hand.

Without a word, Yu-Wol scooped up a large spoonful of soup and blew it into his mouth.

He propped up the spoon with his other hand and held it in front of my mouth.

“…because it hurts. Only this time.”

Yoo-wol turned her head slightly, as if she was embarrassed by what she had said.

It was funny to feel this way in this situation, but I thought he was cute.

“thank you.”

I smiled at him.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such warm food.

It was obviously a nasty tasteless herbal soup, but I felt like I could eat two bowls today.

It felt like that.

A familiar Magi that somehow resembles me.

I knew the owner of this magical power.

It was natural.

Yes, that magical power was bestowed with the power of my blood.

Amelia’s second disciple. It was Sirius’ magical power.

Why he had to take the ring off I couldn’t figure out.

The moment he lifted the seal on the ring, I began to move to a place where I felt magical power.

I could boast that I had arrived at the spot before anyone else, but when I arrived, all that was left was a doll of Mr. Peanus, damaged beyond recognition by being scorched with magical black flames, and a human corpse presumed to be a knight.

And the black magic circle remaining on the floor.

Certainly this… was the space magic circle that Amelia-sama told us about.

I could feel the presence of humans screaming and running towards the forest from afar.

I had to leave to avoid suspicion.

Returning to Sirius’ empty room, I shut the door.

I didn’t know exactly what had happened, so I decided to wait.

Sirius’ choice was too uninformed to either defend or criticize.

Sirius will come back.

because you swore to me

No matter what. that you will stand by my side

But even after a day.

Even after two days.

he didn’t come back

with warriors.
