Chapter 80 – 80. Quarantine

The excursion has been discontinued. This is because it was not possible to see the autumn leaves while the forest, which had a nice view, was burning more than halfway.

Evangeline began gnashing her teeth at the arsonists who had ruined her own perfect plan her. I don’t know who the culprit was, but Yohan sent his regards to them.

‘Foolish bastards…… Even if I touch you today…….’

The time they had walked all the way to this place was colorless, and the party returned to the cabin with Margaret’s magic. Returning to the cabin, Master threw away all his belongings to his and immediately started looking for the culprit.

“What kind of guys! I want to see your face!”

This forest of hers is the forest of her monsters her, where she has lived for over hundreds of years and has made it her own territory her. The whole forest was thickly covered with her magic power, and the sound of witch’s magic meant that the entire forest was like her limbs.

She usually shuts off her nerves and doesn’t know what’s going on in the surrounding forest, but if she wanted to, she could figure out the number of monsters living in this forest, and even how many legs the crawling bugs had.

She did Soon after, after checking the number of humans who had wandered through the forest and the scent they left behind, he began to vomit.

“Ooh-!”
“Master!? Are you okay!?”
“Ah, uh… The downside is that if you use this for too long, you will get a headache…….”

Evangeline gulps her water and pushes the vomit up her chin. After wiping the dripping water from her mouth, she located those who dared set fire to her territory.

“Haha, these bastards…… Are you having fun?”

Unfortunately, it seemed that those who burned the forest sprinkled holy water on my body as soon as they left the forest. I couldn’t track the body of those who had left the forest. Instead, the disgusting scent of holy water penetrated her senses.

However, with this, it was possible to know that the people who were targeting the forest were from the church. Holy water is something that only a very few priests can make by sweating blood, but there couldn’t have been that many powers that could pour it into the ground.

“John.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I’m sorry, but can your master destroy a city around here?”
“…… What do you mean by that?”

At the sound of destroying her city’s civilization her, John looked at her in dismay. Evangeline smiled and opened her mouth as if she was no big deal.

“There seem to be kids who hate me for no reason—so I’m trying to give them a reason to hate me.”

“…… I’m going to completely pretend to be with the church- then, I’m going to be a little uncomfortable.”

“Yes. Right. A city will disappear. You won’t be able to easily find meat nearby, and you’ll have to rebuild all the credit you’ve built up over the years…….”

Evangeline said that and began to look at John. It was true that I was angry at the church members who had suddenly set fire to the forest and fled, but it was anger enough to see cockroaches laying eggs in their house.

If the disciple who cared for the cockroach asked her to leave it alone, she would let out a few rounds of anger—something that would make her turn a blind eye to it—but she would n’t do anything against his opinion of her .

“I’m OK.”
“Really? Are people dying?”
“It’s okay. If Master wants it…….”

John recalled what Regina had told him not long ago.
You are like a witch

True to her words, she was more familiar with the witches than with the people here. When humans didn’t treat him as a human, only witches treated him like a human.

He felt more familiar with witches than with humans. More so than to the savage medieval fantasy inhabitants, to the pretty and beautiful witches—.

“Huh—our John, has grown up a lot. I was really cold when he said he wanted to become a paladin…….”

Evangeline smiled and looked at Margaret. Margaret met her eyes, realized what Evangeline wanted, and immediately began to warm up.

“Okay then. Master will be gone for a while. Stay here John.”
“…… Bye.”
“Do you want something to eat? I will buy it if there is.”
“No, not really.”
“Okay? Just wait!”

After saying that, Evangeline and Margaret disappeared. Yohan, who was looking at the disappearance of the two people, belatedly sat down on a chair and fell into trouble.

Regarding what he did, he was deeply concerned about whether he really did the right thing…….

* * *

The moment two beauties appeared in the city, people didn’t like seeing the beauties, but started running away in fear.

It was because I realized that the two beauties were witches because they suddenly appeared in the air without any warning.

Since ancient times, nothing good has happened since a witch revealed herself. At least so far it has been.

Seeing the people running away screaming at them, Evangeline began to grumble.

“That’s too much. Do you run away screaming when you see a beautiful woman like me?”
“Before being a beauty, she is a witch. Even if it were me, I would run away.”
“Ritz, you are noisy.”

When the two of them went into a nearby store and were shopping for food that was difficult to find in the forest, such as bread and meat, the Paladins who received reports from people appeared.

Appearing in consecrated, new armor and holding swords, they stiffened at the sight of the two faces. It was mainly Elesis.

“…… You guys.”
“Hello.”

Evangeline, who recognized my face and greeted the stiff Elesis, immediately explained why they had come here to save her face and to hide the fact that she had an affair with them.

“Yes. Did you know there is a forest near here? It’s called the monster’s forest.”

“…… Know. Therefore?”

“Yes. You guys set the forest on fire. So I came here to do the same…… A little too much to just kill?”

Evangeline, who put a finger on her cheek cutely, smiled and declared to the paladins.

“I’m planning on destroying this city in an hour from now—so why don’t you take the people with you?”

“…… Why should we?”

“Oh, I said that I think of you guys…… Or, would you like to die here?”

Evangeline looked at the paladins with cold eyes. Although he said he would kill them all, he also thought that it would be nice if the paladins took the people and disappeared.

Killing people breeds resentment. It is an unforgettable grudge. All mankind will share that grudge, and will come for her life.

For Evangeline, who lives in the woods, this is like a situation in which two-legged cockroaches periodically come to her house.

Even so, finding and killing humans one by one is tedious. Even though there are people who find and kill all the insects that have laid eggs in their house, there is no one who goes outside the house to try to make the insects extinct…….

So, the most reasonable way was to leave a warning to humans without holding grudge against them. Fortunately, it seemed that the paladin wasn’t too bad of a suggestion.

“…… I need some time to think.”
“Sir Elesis!?”

“No. Decide right here and now.”

While the Paladins were shocked to see Elesis, Evangeline threatened them with a magic orb floating on top of her hand.

Elesis, who had been thinking for a long time, nodded. Was it because she saw the horrors of Evangeline and Margaret herself, or because she thought that her strength was insufficient to deal with two witches at the same time?

Elesis went straight back to the church. Seeing this, Evangeline let out a sigh of relief.

“Thank god. Is it not it?”
“Why do you hate killing people?”
“But, the smell of human blood doesn’t come out well. I hang out with Yohan every day, but Yohan will hate it if I smell blood…….”

The two witches had a rather trivial conversation.
The promised time has passed.
Evangeline took a bite of the bread she bought in the city and flew over the city.

On that day, a city completely disappeared.

* * *

“I’m back!”

Evangeline, who had left the house, came back about an hour after she left.

Realizing that it was already this time, Yohan quickly got up and prepared dinner.

“I’m sorry, Master. Ready to eat soon…….”
“Ah, okay. I bought something to eat, so let’s eat it roughly.”

Evangeline said that and held out bread and meat. Civilized things. So, the things that make me think that maybe the thing that Evangeline was trying to solve didn’t end peacefully.

As the bread was being cut and warmed, John asked Evangeline.

“Did you come back after work?”
“Yes. I came after destroying everything.”
“…… Yes?”
“Perhaps this forest will never be touched again? Well, in a few years, I’ll forget about it again and do the same thing…….”

Seeing Evangeline calmly spitting out the story of destroying a city, Yohan thought he had heard it wrong.

It was too peaceful for someone who had just destroyed a city. As if she felt that it was no big deal.

‘…… What if it’s not really a big deal?’

Watching Evangeline casually making and eating a sandwich out of bread, Yohan realized that if she put her mind to it, she could turn the entire planet into a mess.

She is a delicate woman who cries in my arms at night, but inside of her there is a tremendous magical power…….
