CH 92

: home (3)

When the memorial service was completed, the marquis family also returned to the castle.

"Everyone, get some rest."

The marquis handed over the robes to the servant and went in first.

Sears took the sleeping Anna in her arms and said to Jamie.

"My son, go get some rest. Don't forget to wash. got it?

Do not worry.

"Who's son is he worried about? Mom, I'll go up first.

Jamie noticed Sears and Sarah going up and stretched as hard as she could.

it's all over

At least the work at Apton is completely finished.

It's only been a few days since I've been here, but it feels like I've been here for months.

'I'm a little hungry.'

I ate, but it wasn't a good atmosphere, so I ate it wisely. Because of this, I felt a little nauseous.

Jamie went up to the room and asked the maid for bread and milk. I said I would set it up separately, but it was so annoying that I asked to send it to my room.

'But he seems to have forgotten something.'

I have been feeling empty since yesterday.

But I don't know what it is.

Is it still trivial? But I think it's pretty important to think of it as a trivial thing.

I do not know.

Jamie loosened the tie and made it loose.

I was out of breath a bit.

I'll lie down in bed and rest for a while until the bread and milk arrive. With that thought in mind, I turned the doorknob that was opened and closed for several days.

And I was able to realize the identity of what I had forgotten.

Ah. vena.

master!

A pink squirrel.

It was also a cutely decorated pink squirrel with an angry face and a hand on his waist.

He was wearing a blue scarf around his neck, but when he saw the mana he could feel, it was probably the hammer.

shouted the squirrel Bena.

"How could you leave me?!"

"Bur, throw it away. I left it for a while."

"Does the person you say leave it unattended for more than a day?"

"That is, um. But where have you been?"

Jamie asked, scratching her cheek, not knowing what to say.

With a tired face, Bena took a deep breath.

"You're asking too early."

Looking at his face, it was clear that he had forgotten about it until now, far from letting him go.

how can that be

Bena was absurd, but she shook her head, wanting to think more about it.

"The day the Master left me."

"Did you throw it away? Leave it alone."

"It's a shame to leave it alone! Do you know how scared I was in the forest?"

The night in the forest was so dark that I couldn't see an inch ahead.

If it hadn't been for Philion, I would have been frightened and unable to move.

Jamie was stunned at that. Leaving the Valkyrie, he was a former warlock and feared the dark.

Indeed. So it must have been slaughtered from the warlock society.

"Anyway, I don't know the way back, and it's impossible to find a direction in the dark forest. I thought I was going to die... hey."

Bena shrugged her small shoulders.

Seeing the sullen squirrel's face made even Jamie feel a little guilty.

When she came out of Gremia, she didn't know the coordinates, so she probably didn't know where she was.

He must have been anxious because he had been neglected in that wide forest and the person he trusted did not come.

On the other hand, there were parts that I did not understand.

"But you can fly."

As Bena awakened the power of the Valkyrie, she was able to take out the fairy's wings.

It would have been enough to get out of the forest and find the marquise.

"You can't change."

" Can't you change?

Yeah.

transformation?

It's enough to become a complete Valkyrie, what kind of ghost is the sound of transforming?

Does he even know that he can be a magical girl?

Come to think of it, the reason Bena's squirrel shape is pink is because her hair is pink.

She, who had become a complete Valkyrie, obviously had red hair. Then it must be a red squirrel... It was odd that it wasn't.

"Come back to your human form."

why?

"Just come back."

Bena tilted her head and returned to her human form with a pop.

Jamie wrinkled one eye.

"Really?"

When he awakened as a Valkyrie, he had a more mature appearance, but now he has returned to his youthful appearance.

"What am I lying for?"

"That too."

"Weren't you perfectly awakened?"

I have never heard of such a case.

That was when Jamie was speechless.

The scarf around her neck came loose on its own and bang! and became a pink hammer.

[I'd better explain.]

Saying that, Philion circled around Bena.

[So Benna is such a case.]

He sat down next to Bena and continued.

[I temporarily provoked a bloody awakening to save you.]

Originally, he should have awakened his powers naturally, but the thought of only saving Jamie awakened the blood.

The problem is that the ability to maintain the power of the Valkyrie was insufficient, so it returned to its original form.

In order to bring out the power of the Valkyrie again, you will have to undergo rigorous training.

[Someday I will be able to keep that shape permanently, but right now I am too young. It needs to be done.]

Philion shook his body back and forth as if he was right.

And Jamie pointed to that hammer and asked Bena.

"Why is this?"

Yeah?

"What is it? Hey. Why is your hammer doing a live show all of a sudden? As if possessed by a ghost."

It wasn't wrong to say that the ego weapon was possessed by a ghost, but it must have been quite annoying to the hammer that heard it.

Philion shouted loudly as he turned around.

[Where do you treat the great me as a demon!]

Unfortunately, Jamie didn't hear the call.

Come on?

I just looked at it like a monster.

It was then that Bena realized that Jamie couldn't hear Philion's voice.

Philion's voice can only be heard by himself.

Philion seemed to have forgotten that fact.

Maybe that's why, Filion, who was luminous, stood tall in the air and did nothing.

" Aren't you embarrassed?

[ ] .]

Philion did not answer Bena's question.

just bang! He made a sound and returned to the ring.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Bena grabbed her stomach and started to laugh when she saw Philion hiding in embarrassment.

Jamie looked at her like that and frowned.

And after holding the pillow in my hand with the power of telekinesis-

"Stop laughing!"

"Wow!"

The pillow was pushed into Bena's face as hard as she could.

* * *

"So, is there an ego?"

" Yeah.

Bena rubbed her red nose with her hand and answered with a snort-blind voice.

"It was an ego ring."

Jamie looked around the ring-shaped Philion with a curious expression.

When I found it in Gremia's warehouse, I thought it was unusual, but I never thought it was an ego ring.

"The ego ring that squeaked into the air even though I couldn't hear it anyway. Right?

"Why are you asking me again?"

"Why? You're telling me to be more embarrassed."

The ring trembled.

Perhaps he was angry.

As she looked at Bena to confirm, she nodded and said.

"Are you insulting yourself with your dirty snout?"

"An honorable horn."

Jamie tossed the ring like a coin and tossed it on the floor.

"Ah! Why are you throwing it!"

Noisy. He sounds like an annoying ring guy."

"As he noticed that he had to tell me."

"Noisy, noisy! Stay away because you are tired."

Jamie roughly pushed Bena with her feet and laid down on the bed.

Bena groaned and put Filion back on her finger.

[That naughty little boy! Returned little boy!]

"You are patient."

[There will come a day when I will be treated like this. angry decomposition!]

Disassembly is unavoidable.

Because Bena's owner was Jamie.

Jamie asked Bena as she lay down.

"Anyway, so according to the ring guy."

"It's Philion."

"I don't know the name. To awaken the power of the Valkyrie again, you need to practice, right?"

Yeah.

"Ha- I thought it was useful now."

I thought I would be able to use it with enough power because I could withstand even the Baron of the Demon Realm.

But in a day or two, it will go back to the beginning.

"It's not the origin."

okay. If it's the same as back then, is that a person?"

"Excuse me "

"Where else did you get those abbreviations?"

"The maids here use it."

Where did you learn something strange... .

Jamie looked at Bena with a grin on her face.

"Why, why?"

Bena swallowed dry saliva for nothing, as Jamie's gaze was burdensome.

"Performance."

Listening to the meditation, I remembered the conversation I had with Beiril earlier.

Now that he decided to learn the sword, he was the one who needed as much training as Vena.

'It's not that I haven't used a sword before.'

It was about the level of just swinging a blade. Or swung a sword crafted by magic.

But those things could not be called swordsmanship.

He lived his entire life immersed in magic.

Far from learning the sword, I didn't even think about learning it.

Because I felt I didn't need it.

I've seen a lot of people who have reached a strong state with a sword, but the one who was stronger than them was me in the end.

Learning weak skills is a waste of time. I thought so.

'But in the end even magic had its limits.'

Even the black magic created only for the sake of the gods could not exceed the 12 gods.

I know magic isn't the only problem.

There were many complex reasons, but the power used in battle was magic.

But magic alone failed.

'I still don't know if mastering a sword is a good choice.'

I can't really predict what will happen.

What will happen in the future, and will it be possible to defeat the 12 gods in this lifetime?

Otherwise, they may not reach the level of their previous lives and die in vain.

However, when I came to Apton, I realized something.

'The old way is not too young.'

Acting like a solitary general, the magical subjectivity that he achieved in his previous life, and the way he insisted on only magic.

I have no intention of repeating failure.

Even if the new path is wrong, you just have to find another path.

'This body still has a lot of time. It's different from back then.'

The situation is not as good as it used to be after the division of the 12 believers

Now is the time to do the most.

As soon as he returns home, he will ask his father, Earl Wellton, to teach him the sword.

The blood of Welton, who produced great swordsmen from generation to generation, flowed through his body, and the Orb of Life provided a stronger body.

As Beiryl said, it may be the body optimized for learning the sword. Saving it is shit.

"It's exciting."

There were no new lessons for him.

After tens of thousands of years, my heart began to pound.

Jamie looked up at the ceiling and began to laugh.

master ?"

And Bena looked at my master with fearful eyes.

I was worried that I might have lost my mind.

* * *

next day.

From early in the morning, the bodies of Archbishop Sepira and the priests who died in this incident were collected and prepared to depart for the Archdiocese.

Jamie opened her mouth to see the people busy packing.

"They have been working hard since morning."

"Because it's a procession to the Grand Bridge."

Ricky was standing next to him.

"When are you leaving?"

"I will do it soon."

"Apostle! Get ready!"

As soon as that story came out, Lars called Ricky from afar.

Wow. Look at the timing."

"Now is the time to really go."

Ricky turned to Jamie with a pretty sad face.

Jamie glared at her with a smirk.

Why?

"This child. Do you have anything to say when your friend is leaving for a long way?"

"It's not something I'll never see in my life."

Jamie wasn't the type to say embarrassing things, and even if she could, her body refused to do it, so she didn't want to.

Knowing Jamie's personality like that, Ricky laughed too.

Jamie looked at Ricky, who was standing there without a word, and said as if tossing.

See you next.

At that, Ricky made a slightly startled face, then smiled again and nodded.

okay. I don't know when it will be, but I'll see you again.

"Next time I see you, you shouldn't be as weak as you are now."

"You must not catch up with me."

"You try for a million years. Will you follow my toes?"

"The ignorant bastard."

"Now do you know?"

"Kuk. I've known you for a long time."

Ricky said that and started walking forward.

Jamie looked at Ricky's back without a word.

When we arrived at Apton, Ricky wept bitterly, saying he didn't want to fall.

But now he was walking on his own path.

'A blunt horn.'

Jamie chuckled.

Ricky, walking forward pretending to be innocent, must have been biting his lip to keep from crying by now.

He's such a soft-hearted guy.

The problem is that the apostle of the Goddess is too fragile, but I hoped that the next time we met, he would be a little more firm.

bye.

Ricky raised his hand and waved at Jamie's last goodbye.

The journey that has been continuing since Heis came to an end here.
