Chapter 598 – #121_I’m Back (6)

#598

One.
“What? Is that stupid middle school sophomore a while ago?”
“Are you really a witch of the deep sea?”
“Are you making another real girlfriend? Assistant? Sincerity?”
“I’m glad you came back safely…. Will you continue to do this?”
“Right! How many already, assistant!”
“It’s like a butler irresponsibly bringing a cat!”

The twins, who were delighted with Si-woo’s safe return, realized the whole truth and roasted Si-woo together.

“Siw…. Ha….”

By the time Deneb, who had confirmed his safety with his own eyes, was relieved and started to develop himself.

“Where have these guys gone? Hot… ! Deneb… ! You again… !”

Around the time when Albireo, who was searching for the twins, hurriedly rushed into a nearby room for the first time in months.

“Ugh….”

Leruhe was walking down her aisle, barely holding herself together.

“Ha, oh, that’s ridiculous. Since she is an apprentice witch, I was generous with her, but she didn’t expect it to come out like this.”

Although she showed a very ugly appearance in front of Odile and Odette’s joint attack, Leruhe’s mental victory defense was beyond imagination.

She was in a situation where she was holding a penalty anyway.
As long as she recovers her body later, she will only have to pay back double or triple.

“The next time we meet, we will not look down on you and scold you.”

She recovered quickly and courageously chose to tour the mansion alone.

Gehenna, the city of witches, is aesthetically excellent and sophisticated enough to make Lruhe’s little world under the sea seem insignificant.
In particular, this mansion was so beautiful that it was not a waste of expression to be a palace.

“One day you will come under my control.”

Looking at each of her beautiful landscapes, Leruye was thinking of herself as the one who would one day dominate this wonderful city.

And coincidentally, at that time, Amelia, Sharon, and Eloa, who had come to the present world for the search, had returned to Gehenna.

It wasn’t because Albireo intentionally delayed the message that ‘Siwoo has returned safely’, it was purely a product of coincidence.

Originally, Amelia is busy paying her fine, Sharon is giving lessons to her twins, and Elroah is busy with different reasons: fixing her messy world order.
Siwoo’s safety and life and death were more important than those things, so he just risked his life and death to continue the search.

However, Siu’s safety is 99.9% certain thanks to the recording tape that Leruhe secretly inserted.
Because of the uncertainty of +0.01% of the anger towards the witch of the deep sea who was provoking outrageous provocations, the search continued, but after a month of additional searches, her driving force gradually ran out.
The aspect of the search was also not as earnest and urgent as before.

Therefore, the three agreed to temporarily suspend the search and take a break.

Once back in Gehenna, it was time to rest.

“Hmm, that is also a pretty cool fountain.

A rose vine arranged in an orderly fashion, like well-stacked blocks.
In the meantime, Leruhe, who was walking quietly along her promenade, stopped abruptly.
It was because she found a very foreign existence in front of her eyes.

She was a witch in mortal attire, wearing comfortable shorts and a windbreaker.

In Akula, it would be very difficult to see even one witch’s face, but this is the city of witches.
There is no reason to think that it is foreign to meet a witch dressed in mundane clothes.

The reason why Leruhe classified the witch as a heterogeneous being was that her appearance was so unique.

First of all, the color of her hair tied back is strange.
Light pink like cherry blossom leaves falling from the sky.
And the color of her eyes is also strange.
An intense magenta color that seems to glow even when she does not use magical powers.

The witch, too, seems to have recognized Rruye, and casts a stare at her while standing still.
Even if he meets her eyes, Leruhe’s eyebrows twitch at the defiantly thrown eyes without any intention of avoiding them.

“What are you staring at?”
“…….”

A maid who was arrogant, twins, and even a witch who looked up and down her as if observing her openly.
This city does not have basic courtesy for a queen.

“If you have something to say, say it. However, if it is not an important agenda, a passing expression would be good. Jim is very uncomfortable right now.”

However, she also had Siwoo’s message not to cause an accident for nothing, and more than anything, she confirmed through experience that she was in poor physical condition.
Leruhe was about to complete her tour by passing by the witch who was staring at her without saying anything.

“Stop.”

A determined voice grabbed the hem of Leruhe’s clothes.
It was a voice with restrained emotions like a warrior, but with a clear intaglio of passion that could not be hidden.

Most of the witches who live in this world and Gehenna know about her pink-haired Duke.
Duke of Eloa Tiphareth of the 23rd rank.

How many battlefields she has crossed.
How many homunculus did she subjugate throughout her life?
Why does the hero who goes wild running wild run away when he sees his magenta eyes?
I know.

“Hoo? Did you just tell Jim to stop? Just a thousand?”

Unfortunately, Leruye did not know about her identity.
That’s why she looked back at Elroa with a smile as if she had been waiting for her to fight her.

And that moment.

Flinch.
Without realizing it, I shivered.

Lips showing resolute determination and a straight gaze.
Even though he is slightly shorter than Rruye, he feels the weight of being weighed down by a mountain.

The opponent is just sticking his hand in the pocket of the windshield, but the sharpness of a very sharp sword aimed at this side cuts his spine.
It was the first time in my life that I felt such pressure.

Is this really the pressure that can emanate from the same witch?

“There is something I want to ask you.”

Every time the pink witch took a step closer, she instinctively found herself backing away.
And she is humiliated.
No matter how weakened, the queen of the Nukelabhi dynasty only backs away in fear of an approaching opponent?

“What! Don’t come any closer! Ask there!”

This is unacceptable.
Leruye roused her voice as much as she could, then stretched out her chest and opened her eyes.
She is a pink witch who seems to have succumbed to her dignity and stopped in place.

“Can you recognize this?”

She took out a cassette tape, a compact magnetic tape storage medium smaller than the palm of her hand, from her pocket.

It was something familiar even to Leruhe.
It was because he secretly inserted a video recording of his relationship with Siu and a declaration of war.

In other words, taking that out of her bosom means that the pink-haired witch is also Shin Si-woo’s lover.

“I know, too.”

She didn’t answer, but the pink-haired witch, like her seasoned detective, guessed her identity from Leruhe’s reaction.

Leruye was confident in her skills.
The confidence to repel any powerful enemy with the power of familiars and demons.
Even in a weakened state, she had the optimism that she would solve it somehow with the dignity of a queen, so she was walking around her mansion casually.

However, her optimism is shattered when she sees an opponent randomly shoving her tape into her pocket.

What were you recording at the time?
She’s a thousand things, so I’ll allow her to be her concubine.

I can’t believe that karma will come like this.

“So, are you also Shin Si-woo’s lover?”
“Yes, you must be the witch of the deep sea, right?”
“For a moment! I told you not to move from there!”

For the first time in her life, she felt fear when she saw Elroy approaching at frighteningly fast steps.

“Then let me ask you one more question. Where is Siu now?”

First of all, you have to stay away.
The opponent was a strong player who could not guarantee a victory even if he faced them in an intact state.
A picture of herself being beheaded by her savage witch of Gehenna seems to shimmer in her head.

“Dive deep!”

Despite her inexperience, Leruye is the Archwitch.
Using her failure against the twins as a teacher on the other hand, this time she managed to use magic without mistakes even with her limited power.

Waves of magical power attacking from the left and right.
It was an intention to cheat with this and escape with all their might.

“Let’s see! I will deal with you next time I regain my strength! Keck!”

However, Leruye, who had been restrained by the back of her neck, fell behind her just as she was running.
Looking up, I see the face of her opponent, who is expressionlessly crushing Leruhe.

“Uh… How… ?”

I saw a clearly defenseless opponent swept away by the crashing waves.
No matter how magical it was at the level of an apprentice witch, it was not weak magic.
If there was no magic, it would not be strange if the bones were broken and rolled around.
However, the opponent squeezed through the gap without using magic and subdued Leruhe.

“Hey… !”

Leruet horrified at the sight of her fists casting her shadow across her face with her clench.
If the regime that is holding on to the face of Leruhe, who has collapsed like this, is heading towards her, she has no choice but to give it up defenselessly.

It must hurt terribly!

“…….”

However, there was no pain or shock even after waiting for a long time with her eyes tightly closed until her tears welled up.
When she slowly opens one eye, she sees the face of a pink witch who hesitates instead of anger.

As a bonus, the force that had been squeezing the back of her neck loosened.

In fact, Elloa realized her true identity as soon as he faced Rruye.
This is because, unlike her twin, who couldn’t hear Leruhe’s recordings due to mental problems, she clearly remembered the unique way of speaking and voice.

According to Siwoo, she’s not a bad witch, but since she provoked her like that, it’s only natural to make her pay the price she deserves.

Originally, it was my intention to punish her until she shed tears….

A deep-sea witch who can’t fully demonstrate her powers, even if she doesn’t know what kind of English it is.
What’s more, looking at what she’s doing, she’s an immature young witch with no flaws.

She wanted something to be seen seriously.

“Did you come back with Siwoo? Is he all right?”
“Yes, yes!”

Leruet got up quickly and ripped off the hem of his clothes.

“Where is he?”
“It is over there in the mansion.”

The pink witch nodded her head as she pointed to her main building, which she had slipped out of earlier.
After a moment’s hesitation, she quickly turned her feet and turned her back to Leruhe.

In a fight she had won all, she resigned herself.

Maybe this?
She is an opponent who, in fact, gets the chance to win, but doesn’t deal any extra blows and backs down.

Didn’t he realize that this time he shouldn’t touch the majesty of Lruhe?
In other words, isn’t L’rueh’s charisma winning over simple strength?

“Pink hair!”

By the time the distance between the two is far enough.
Leluet regains her confidence and shouts at the back of Elroy’s head.

“Right now, Jim’s power is limited and he showed ugliness, but he wants to compete again in two or three weeks! At that time, I will not let you go as easily as now!”

Eloah’s expression went blank as she hurriedly went to see her Siu.

Of course, it’s not because I was overwhelmed by charisma or scared, just like Leruhe’s happy circuit.
In the first place, he turned his back on Leruhe, who still had questions to ask, and found Siu because their priorities were different.
At that moment, I heard a request for a blockade.
It was the first time in her life.

“Enjoy the happy moments of the rest of your life until that day!”

Elroa stared for a long time at the back of Lruhe, who threw out his words and ran quickly.
