Chapter 199 – Episode 191 Post-Womb RPG ~Capturing the Demon King’s Castle (Light) Umi Does Nothing (Axis)

The next morning. Umi got up from her seat, unable to rest her head due to her hangover.

After listening to Heeju’s story yesterday, I was reminded of a shocking truth.

It may be because I drank too much compared to the original amount to forget my sadness.

One of the reasons was that she pretended to be as calm as possible to Su-ah and Naru, who joined her late in the day, and tried not to show her sad face.

Although Woo-mi heard the truth due to Hee-ju’s slip of the tongue,

Ahead of the final battle with the Demon King…

It was an act of agreement that there was no need to reveal the truth about the mascot to Sua and Naru.

“… “This is the end of my training.”

Due to the addition of other magical girls, Umi’s party was significantly strengthened.

Jina, who has developed the skills of a martial artist, Ara, who has developed the skills of a scholar, and even Heeju, who can summon the food she ate.

It literally feels like the specs have been raised to the point where only the subjugation of the demon lord is left, and Gina actually answered yes.

Using the scroll that Heeju had, you can go to the Demon King’s Castle in just one step. She no longer has any reason to remain under Nigredo’s training.

After only training since the battle with the elves, it’s the final battle against the devil.

It feels like something was omitted, but…

“Well, it doesn’t matter as long as I can go back home.”

The delicacies eaten in this world, such as barbecue and soup, were definitely delicious. But now I miss home-cooked meals.

Anyway, Umi’s roots are Korean. After not being able to eat kimchi for nearly a month, I felt like the scent of butter was coming from inside.

I also wanted to see the faces of Umi’s parents who believed in her and her younger sister Hina, who only giggled and said what she wanted.

“…”

As I thought about my family, my thoughts naturally turned to the story I heard yesterday.

“Brother…”

Just as Joo-hyuk’s older brother was forgotten by the world, Umi’s older brother was also forgotten as if he never existed in this world.

So much so that even Umi herself completely forgot about its existence.

After she became a magical girl, for the first few days she returned home, she thought there was a room next to her room that was used as a ‘storeroom’.

I thought, ‘Since when did a place like this exist?’, But I just assumed it was natural and moved on.

It didn’t take long for her to pretend the room never existed in the first place.

As she was reading the diary, she suddenly remembered how she had sobbed in front of the room.

“That room was her brother’s room.”

Even though the affairs of this world are over, and she somehow returns home, she has learned the truth that she cannot be completely happy.

Now I can’t help but be conscious of the existence of my older brother, whom other family members don’t even remember.

“… Huh?”

As Umi turned her gaze towards Joo-hyuk, who was sleeping soundly, something occurred to her.

[Pink Worm character goods are sold overnight, and experience and reputation points increase slightly!]

[Babababam! Post-womb magic girl Erutus (Park Woo-mi) has reached level 30!]

“… !”

Last night, other magical girls also purchased Pink Worm goods to farm Umi’s experience points…

It seems that there was someone who purchased Pink Worm goods even after that.

Due to the added experience, Umi has reached a level where she can use a familiar.

“… With this, I too…”

You can see Terus again.

But Umi hesitated for a moment.

Even if they recall the memories inside the flask, the mascots cannot remember their past.

Stormerk, Regtech, and Terus.

Magical girls have been treated as if they were mascots for ordinary magical girls.

Will I be able to control my emotional whirlwind while looking at Terus like that?

But… We must accept it.

As if she had decided, Umi called the name quietly.

“… Terus.”

“Did you call me?”

Instead of an unfamiliar system window showing rejection, a very familiar and very familiar voice was heard.

When I looked back, I saw Terus in the form of a round cylinder revealing her appearance in the air.

“It’s been a while, kyung!”

“… Huh. “Yeah, it’s been a while.”

Terus slightly tilted her head, perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was different.

“… What are those eyes full of excellence? “How much trouble did you go through while I was gone?”

“There was a lot of hardship… “If it hadn’t been for the uterine condition, I wouldn’t have gone through this trouble.”

When Umi snatched Terus, who was floating in the air, Terus screamed, squeezing juice out of his hole as if he had suffered something.

“Wow! It’s been a while since we last met, but I wonder if this is happening! I am against violence! “It’s a delicate part, so treat it kindly!”

“Hmph. “On a fictional day, my real uterus is being treated harshly, so how can I be gentle?”

Unlike her grunting voice, Umi gently stroked Terus.

“… Umi, who I haven’t seen in a long time, is warm. “What happened?”

“… No.”

It’s nothing.

Umi picked up the words that rose up to her throat and swallowed them.

I think it will take some time to get used to being like this.

While I’m getting used to things like getting out of the womb.

This arrangement was nothing.

* * *

As planned in advance, the other magical girls gathered in front of Nigredo’s house.

Umi, who had freed herself from the uterine state for the first time in a long time by asking Terus, enjoyed her freedom by moving around.

“It feels like a dream to not have to walk awkwardly while wearing pants! I feel empty now that I’ve been wandering around for a month… !”

“If it’s empty, you can always drop it off again!”

“… “I want to die.”

While Umi was having a comical conversation with Terus that wasn’t a comical conversation.

Nigredo glanced at the magical girl who was leaving to catch her demon lord and smiled happily.

“I didn’t know you had such a reliable comrade. But… As I have said time and time again, you cannot be at ease.”

Nigredo gave Joo-hyeok the precious sword she used.

“With this, I will finish what I couldn’t finish.”

Is this the same sword that was used in the battle with the Demon King?

It seemed difficult to hold because it was a heavy and heavy sword,

Joo-hyuk, who had become capable of swinging through his training, nodded his head while stroking the underside of his nose.

“Thank you.”

“Umi, you too… “I was sorry.”

After taking care of Joohyuk, Nigredo turned her head towards Umi.

It seems Nigredo still hasn’t forgotten her first meeting with Umi. Of course, it was the same for Umi.

“… Nigredo.”

“Hmm.”

“We will definitely complete what you couldn’t do. So don’t worry.”

“… “If you have that level of ambition, there’s no need to worry.”

Nigredo stroked Umi’s head.

“Ruler. “Enough to say goodbye and welcome back.”

At Heeju’s words, Umi gasped and ran to where the other magical girls were.

When Heeju opened the scroll, a glowing magic circle appeared below.

Umi waved her hand for the last time and said hello to Nigredo, her wife, and the children who also greeted her.

There is a flash, the vision becomes distorted as if it disappears, and the scenery in front of you suddenly changes.

Tall spires and majestic castle gates. Black sky.

Before Umi’s eyes, the scenery of the Demon King’s Castle unfolded exactly as she had imagined.

You can tell at a glance. The atmosphere is completely opposite to that of the church. If a priest or a saint were to pop out from there, it would be a very awkward picture.

I can’t even tell how far it is from the original village.

“… Let’s go.”

How can Umi herself help? It was a vague feeling, though.

She had no choice but to hit as hard as she could.

* * *

If you climb up the Demon Castle step by step, you can meet the boss, the Demon King, but like other Demon Castles, there is no easy way to let adventurers through.

Since it is the height of a six-story building, if you defeat the mid-boss five times, you can reach the place where you meet the devil. Heeju said it that way.

What was waiting on the first floor was an undead skeleton soldier.

A considerable number of skeleton soldiers, each heavily armed, rushed towards Umi and the others.

But Umi and the others did not sit idly by.

First, Joo Hyuk, who could ignore the turn-based battle and move, approached the skeleton soldiers with a great sword.

Although he could not use skills and had no support for his personal abilities, he had a complete advantage in attacking the soldiers who could not move.

Naru subdued the skeleton soldiers by firing a bullet that received divine energy under the protection of her saint.

For evil attribute soldiers, the saint is like a natural enemy.

Bonus damage was added to various skills, and the skeleton soldiers fell like snow was melting.

Heeju was no easy feat either. Perhaps because he had learned how to utilize the class called Summoner, he went around with cute deformed food summoners and attacked the remaining soldiers.

A summon reminiscent of a Tommy Hawk steak was stronger than the skeleton’s meager bones, and a slime summon reminiscent of potato soup turned the skeleton into stagnant soup.

The magical girl’s activity continued on the next floor.

What was waiting on the second floor was a heavy Orc unit.

Ara seemed to have mastered a number of secret techniques that aided her magical power, and used the magic related to her previous mystery novels without hesitation.

When she used the skill called [Burning Court], Several orc soldiers burned black as if they had been set on fire,

When the skill [Three Coffins] Was used, huge coffins fell from the sky and crushed the Orc soldiers.

Gina must have advanced considerably in her training as a martial artist, so she grabbed the first turn and continued practicing irregular martial arts.

Every time Gina’s light-fast legs passed by, the orc soldier’s body fell down helplessly.

What was waiting on the third floor was a Mimic disguised as a strange box.

Su-ah also did not stay still. She summoned dozens of arms and forced the Mimic’s mouth open, then stole the key to the next floor inside her with the steel she had learned from Rube.

“Now is the time! Everyone, hurry up!”

While the monsters waiting on every floor meet yet another violent death and collapse into nothingness,

The magical girls hurried up the stairs to the next floor.

After a spectacular battle, the magical girls exchange words of encouragement and joy with each other.

Umi was uneasy.

“… “I didn’t do anything, did I?”

“No matter what, Umi, who is not post-uterine, has no personality, so there is nothing we can do about it!”

“Individuality? “Did you say it had no individuality?”

However, while tackling Terus’ words, Umi also felt that there was nothing she could do.

I did some training, but it was only training focused on magical disguise techniques.

This is because I had no choice but to shake my head when asked whether actual combat power had increased.

“… Are you okay! “I will have a chance to be active on the next floor!”

Even though she has an introverted personality, Woomi is the kind of person who can’t bear to take the group assignment bus.

Even if you are reluctant to appear in front of others, you cannot endure being treated as if you cannot properly serve one person.

Behind Umi, who is determined to somehow become active in the next level.

“The door to the next floor… It won’t open, what should I do?”

“… ?”

Sua muttered as she picked up the mess of rusty keys taken out of the Mimic.

The door is closed with a tight lock.

Umi and his party were intercepted at an unexpected section.
