Chapter 127 – To the Mansion (4)

As soon as she hears about the mask’s abilities from Iris, a scene starts playing in her head.

Dark basement. The cult’s secret base. Kidnapped people. A terrible altar.

But the moment the evil ritual is about to be performed. A lightning strike suddenly knocks down the altar.

The cultists who offered blasphemous prayers, and the sacrifices wept in fear.

Everyone shuts their mouths and a strange silence flows.

Where, who and how?

By the time questions fill their heads. The sound of small steps coming from somewhere.

Turbuck. Turbuck. Turbuck.

The steps that got closer stopped at some point.

And an unidentified figure slowly appearing in the void where there should be nothing.

A robe and mask with a simple design based on black and purple. A cultist intuits the suspicious appearance.

This person is the one who interrupted the ceremony.

Doubt turned into anger and took the form of sound.

“Who are you!”

But what comes back is not an answer, but a strange feeling of pressure.

Anger quickly fades, and fear takes its place.

The masked man is still silent. However, everyone in the room knew that the surrounding area had become his domain.

Let’s imagine that far, I can’t help but breathe out of my mouth.

“Huh uh uh uh… !”

Then, I put my hand into the proud Iris’ armpit and lifted it up.

“Lord, master? What is this all of a sudden… Do you not like it?”

“No way! I’m just curious. Can you show me how to use intimidation?”

“Ah, anything like that is possible.”

Iris nodded her head once and brought her mask to her small face.

Dig.

It doesn’t have any fixing device, but it’s a mask that sticks to Iris’ face. It even shrinks little by little until it’s just the right size.

“The principle is complicated, but the usage is simple. The necessary spells are already built in, so you just need to infuse them with magic power.”

As I said that and breathed magic into it, Iris really felt a strange pressure.

“You can adjust the power according to the amount of mana you inject… I can’t do anything that harms the owner, so this is the best thing for now.”

“You mean it’s much stronger if you use it at full power?”

“That’s right. How is it? Do you like this enough?”

Iris is extremely confident in her tone even though she wants to be judged.

But this mask is worth it.

“The best! Make four like this!”

“Hmmmm. I’m proud that the owner likes it so much. Got it. Then we will proceed as it is.”

Is it also the power of age? Because Iris knows something.

Unable to control her joy, he lifted Iris and shook her up and down, giving her a ride on the plane.

“Wow!!”

“Master! I will say one more time! I! I am not a child!”

“Awesome!!!”

“Urg! Profit! What is this in front of the disciple… !”

She was Iris, who struggled violently to get away from me….

She held on tight and wouldn’t let go, and eventually she let her limbs hang limp as if she gave up.

After shaking it for a while, she carefully sat her down on her chair, and Faye, who had been watching all of this in a daze, opened her mouth with a trembling voice.

“Brother… ? What the hell is this robe and mask that you like so much?”

“Ah, that… Well….”

She thought about it but hadn’t told Fay yet.

But now Fay is also in a relationship with us.

Slowly, I need to look around the source of my knowledge. There’s a lot for Fay to do in the future.

“Now is the time to tell Fei-senpai. As for how this happened….”

It’s been a while since I’ve been thinking about where to start explaining while choosing words in my heart.

Chuck!

Suddenly, Karla raised her hand, her ruby ​​eyes twinkling.

“Master! Would it be all right if I explained it to Ms. Fay?”

“Yes? I don’t care… Out of the blue?”

“I want to take this opportunity to have a conversation about Master with Miss Fei.”

“Oh? That’s the same for me too. The story will be quite long, so leave this to us, and you can comfort Master.”

“Iris? … Ah.”

When she glanced at the seat next to her, she saw Iris, who had pulled the blanket over her again, as if it had just been taken out.

I did a good job, but did I just tease you too much?

Iris pushed her face out, puffed out her cheeks as if she had pouted.

Iris gently covered her ears.

“… Hit!”

But even as she flinched, the wind in her cheek did not escape.

She looks like she’s got a hard pout.

She smiled wryly and nodded her head.

“Okay. Then explain it to Fei-senpai.”

“Leave it to me, Master! Let’s see… Where did Master Fei Yang know about this? Did she ever think of doing it?”

“Yes. It has been like that since the first time we met.”

“There are reasons for everything. For some reason, the owner always pulls back and doesn’t tell me properly, but what happened….”

Guri-guri platypus.

“That’s how it happened!”

“Wow… My junior… That’s why you brought a recipe the other day, where you don’t know the proportions but only know the ingredients.”

Fey nods her head as if she finally understands.

In H&A, if you only have materials, you can make an object with one button, so it is not possible to know the exact manufacturing method.

So, there are a few commissions I entrusted with just letting you know the ingredients and results… At that time, she must have still remembered the work.

Well, since it was right before the dungeon practice, it hasn’t been that long.

“There you go, junior. So, juniors, is your goal rooting out cultists?”

“Oh, come to think of it, I never said that part.”

She always gave a rough outline and what had to be done right away, but never detailed the end goal.

The people here are the ones who intend to go with me until the end and have no choice but to do so, so it should be fine.

“It’s a purpose… In a way, it can also be said to be rooting out cultists, as Fei-senpai said.”

I thought it was an important story, so I continued talking after looking around at the women who were focusing on me.

“To defeat all evil spirits. That is my end goal.”

“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”

Is it because the story is too big? For a moment, everyone in the room kept their mouths shut.

Sudden silence. The first to break this was Iris, who was munching on my portion of dessert as a condition to relieve her anger.

“O master. Does defeating an evil spirit mean death?”

“Right.”

“Um….”

She was Iris who was drooling as if she was contemplating what to say, but she swallowed the tart with a clucking sound before opening her mouth.

“About 300 years ago. I have participated in the great wars of the gods.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Because Iris is over 500 years old.

“At the time, I was only a lieutenant mage, so I couldn’t go to the front line. However, I am well aware of the ferocity of evil spirits. All right It’s only natural since I’ve seen it myself.”

“Master… Have you ever seen it yourself? Evil spirits?”

“Yes, brother. As you said, I saw it in person, even from afar.”

Did you recall the memories of that time? Iris shuddered.

“A turbid union… It was a mass of flesh bigger than a mountain. The body, which was made by putting countless living things together, was at the same time a wild beast, a water beast, a flying beast, and nothing else.”

Oh I must have seen a turbid union.

He’s a guy who just gritted his teeth after being hurt by me… The turbid unity in its heyday was truly terrifying.

If it’s pure fighting power, it’s enough to be counted among three fingers among evil gods.

“Every step I took along the way, everything was eaten and disappeared. It was only when I saw the sword master’s sword attack and the archmage’s magic that he ate away that I realized it. I mean, the evil god is also a god.”

“Ha, but aren’t they all sealed now, Master?”

“Okay. It was sealed with the power of the hero Rahim and the good god. However, that was only possible thanks to the unparalleled genius of the Hero and the gods who descended directly.”

After kindly answering Elisha’s question, Iris turned her gaze towards me.

“O master. I can guess the owner’s origins, so I understand what it means. Obviously, evil spirits must be killed and destroyed.”

Then he spoke calmly with his sunken eyes.

“But honestly, I don’t think it’s possible. At the very least, if the good gods descended to the earth like in the last great war, the beings that cannot be helped with human power alone are evil gods.”

“What… I guess so.”

“Rather than defeating evil spirits, wouldn’t it be better to constantly subdue the cultists and maintain the seal? As someone who has been through the Great War firsthand, I think this is much more realistic. … Of course, if the master commands it, I will obey.”

Perhaps realizing that she overreacted now, Iris cautiously added back remarks.

She nodded her head, indicating that it was okay.

“I know what you mean. I want to too.”

Really. Seriously, I want to too.

“… If you can.”

“What is that… ?”

He shared a secret he hadn’t told anyone before, to Iris who was taken aback, and to Carla, Elisha, and Fay.

“Seal. It will be solved in a few years.”
