Chapter 255
Until two discordant roses become an ensemble (3)
I pretended to stumble and did not see anything kicked under my feet.
Thunk. The kicked can rolls away.
"Who are you!"
The boy who had been laughing madly stopped laughing and jerked his head.
His eyes, shining in the shadows of the alley, were surprisingly deep golden, like molten gold. It is a color rarely seen in this world…… There was a strange magical energy felt near the boy's body.
This is it. I don't have to double check.
"No, how long have you been there?! How dare……."
The boy took a step back. He was ready to fight at any moment.
"Avoiding this body's eyes. Huh, are you the knights of this world? The guardian?"
I was dumbfounded.
What is he saying now? Ricdorian and I walked in openly. We didn't even hide our presence. In short, it was the other side was laughing like crazy and didn't notice us.
"We came in on foot."
The boy's eyebrows twitched at my plain words.
"Ha, are you saying that you are strong enough to avoid this body's sense? …. Hoo. This world is also interesting."
"You must have missed it because you were laughing."
"How funny. This body has not yet adapted to this body, but soon!"
A black tattoo was visible on his white arm. Its shape resembled that of a winged black dragon. It wriggled as if it was alive, and black smoke flowed out.
In the blink of an eye, the boy had a wooden staff in his hand.
That one looks similar to something from a fantasy movie popular in this world. There, it looked like a magic wand owned by an elderly wizard with a white beard growing to his stomach.
An ominous aura emanated from the tip of the curved wooden staff with a wheezing sound.
"The warlock of Rosifal! Dominate!"
"…… what."
But first I lifted one foot.
Bang!
The moment my feet hit the floor, blue energy rushed like a wave. My energy filled the alley and surrounded the boy.
"What nonsense. How."
I pressed my hand between my brows with one hand in my large jumper pocket.
"The days are getting colder, but you're the kind of person who makes my back feel cold again."
I waved my hand between my brows.
Ruumbleee.
Soon I thought I heard a familiar sound, and then I heard a shout. It was the boy's scream.
"Hey, what is this! Let go? Let go! How dare you!"
"What is it? It is a chain."
I just clenched my fists. Rumble! The blue chain moved. The chains that had been loosely tied around the boy were tied tight now.
The boy looked at me with surprised eyes and struggled. I thought for a moment about loosening the chains that had blocked his mouth, but I changed my mind.
"Hey, I understand the situation."
Looking at it a little while ago, it seemed that he was about to shout something the moment the energy formed on the staff.
If he could use magic by shouting something like Jaire, I had to keep his mouth shut.
I sighed and put my other hand in my jumper pocket.
"This place is not as lush as you think."

Although the only God I saw was the God who sent me from the other world here.
I had heard about the manager of this world from that God. This place acts like a terminal in so many dimensions, so it's affected a lot, but it's because the manager here has a strong presence.
The manager and the God of the other world agreed, so I moved like this at the cost of quickly moving over there.
"See. I'm strong enough to overpower you. I was asked to catch you."
The boy, the warlock from another world, blinked.
"Are you ready to listen quietly?"
What's the story? To be honest, I had planned to just explain the execution process and send him back to the original world right away.
To do so, the other side needed verbal consent.
The boy nodded slowly.
"Alright. If you do anything nonsense, I will just mummy you with a chain, so remember that."
I wondered if this person knew about mummy, but he must have guessed it roughly so I untied the chain. Only on the face, of course.
And that was the moment.
"Paha! How dare you take this body!"
The moment the boy shouted an incomprehensible sound, a desperate energy exploded.
Crash!
The blue chain broke into pieces and then scattered like powder. It didn't take much effort, and it didn't take much damage, but the problem was that the chain flew off and the boy's body was free.
"Ha, I was careless. Kuh, I let my guard down because of your flat face. In fact, the end of this body is not here!"
More than anything, I don't want to hear that way of speaking any more. Is it just me?
I sighed and tried to build my strength again, but faster than that, thump! I heard the sound of something hitting the floor.
Looking up, the boy was lying on the floor.
"Ummm, Iana."
Then, while stepping on the boy's back, Ricdorian tilted his head.
"Can I kill him? Oh, that's not allowed."
Ricdorian had a huge sword in his hand. That sword engraved with a red rose was a unique weapon shaped by his guardian deity Pudding.
"This person has insulted you."
Insulted me? Oh, he said I had a flat face.
I wasn't particularly offended, but I looked at Ricdorian and the sword aimed at the boy's neck with a puzzled face.
Pudding, which became a weapon, also clamored in my head not to leave the boy alone.
"…… I don't think it's an insult at all."
"It's an insult. He's been peeping at you."
"Was he?"
"I was looking."
I rolled my eyes and scratched my cheek.
"No killing for now."
"Then won't only the soul come out?"
"No. The body belongs to that student."
I didn't want to leave a scar on the body of a young man with a bright future. Besides, the soul didn't come out just by killing like Ricdorian said.
"For now, Rian, hold the sword as it is. Your posture is just right."
Ricdorian did a better job of subduing than I thought.
Judging by how far away the staff the boy was holding, it seemed that Ricdorian had kicked it away as soon as he stepped out.
I squatted in front of the boy and met his gaze. Because the other side was lying down, it naturally looked like I was looking down.
"Look, actually we came to settle it very peacefully."
In fact, I heard that it was not these people's fault that their souls came over. It's because they came across it by accident.
It's a very, very rare case to be called artificially like me.

So I don't blame these people. I made up my mind to solve it very peacefully. Although God advised that there would be conflict.
The boy who was staring at me immediately shouted with a red face.
"You are a siren! A siren! Were there monsters in this world? It's no use trying to bewitch me with your looks!"
Why are you shouting while tied up? I said while frowning.
"Hey, did you have a crush on me?"
For some reason, the boy's face turned red uncontrollably. It was as if the body had not seen the sun, and it was visible because it had pure white skin.
"That, that can't be! This body is the warlock of the great empire Rosifal……."
"Let him go and tell me."
"Iana, wouldn't it be better to kill him too?"
"Rian, don't be too aggressive."
However, Ricdorian's face had already hardened too much.
But as soon as our eyes met, he smiled innocently, as if he had never done that before.
"No. Iana. I don't mean to kill him. When I think about it. I don't think this soul needs to go back."
"…… yes?"
"The guardian deity of the red rose says there is a way to damage even the soul."
Ricdorian continued to speak kindly with a mild face.
"Can I use that, Iana?"
"No."
What are you talking about? Ricdorian was visibly sullen at being rejected, saying things that didn't match his innocent face at all.
At the same time, I felt a cold sweat running down my back for the first time in a while.
Thinking about it, this man was a beast who accepted only my words like his rein. To put it bluntly, wasn't his power itself beastly?
I quickly lowered my head.
"Did you hear? He wants your soul to disappear without a sound. I just want you to go back quietly."
He must have overheard our conversation. The boy finally agreed to return with a frozen face, perhaps feeling the unusual atmosphere.
Rather, it seemed that he had succumbed to the sharp, terrifying aura that flowed from Ricdorian.
"Alright, I'll go back. I will go back!"
At the same time, a huge blue spell circle formation spread in this alley. It was my strength that suddenly led me to perform ceremonies as an errand from God.
"When you go back, don't come back here again. We may not be able to return you peacefully next time."
Right before going back, at the same words as my warning, the translucent person who returned as a spirit nodded his head.
After that, I wanted to look at Ricdorian, but he glanced at me.
-If…… you come to my dimension……. At least a name…….
"Rose, the door will close."
"What? Ah. Right. Run along, you."
The spirit's words were too small to be heard, but I couldn't open the door for long like Ricdorian, so I quickly sent the spirit away.
That's how our first repatriation was completed.
As soon as the work was over, Ricdorian hugged me tight. Of course, because of his huge size, I drowned.
"Iana, it's fortunate that the threat went well……."
"A threat? Ah. Could it be that you said that on purpose?"
Raising his head, Ricdorian rolled his eyes and gave a small smile.
"I knew you were attractive to everyone."
Ricdorian whispered softly, barely audible.
"But I was really jealous at the end."
Huh? What could Rian be jealous of?
His lips curved down as I looked back. I immediately smiled and kissed his lips.
