Volume 2 - CH 312

Chapter 7-32. Irza Matisse

“Dacia-sama, Dacia-sama, can you hear me?”

A woman, who is fittingly described as a devil, was there.

Her appearance remains unchanged, so she looks more masculine like male.

However, her head was firmly covered with blue, pointed horns, and her wings spread out through the gaps in her clothes.

The clothes are also a kind of magic tool, and when the wings grow, they cannot be torn.

As soon as the magic power passes through them, the mechanism changes, so there is no need to worry about tearing them at all.

The crystal gradually changed to a black color, and only the ghastly eyes were visible there.

The eyes take one look at their surroundings and then focus on Irza in front of it.

[Irza huh]

A slightly muffled voice reached the scene.

But the voice was Dacia’s, and it informed her that communication was working well.

Briefly relieved, Irza shouts at the crystal in a hoarse voice.

“Was it you, Dacia-sama!? The one who plotted the attack on the Kingdom of Salettana!”

[…… ah, you didn’t know?]

[Of course I didn’t! There was no communication or anything. ……”

[So it was you who stopped the magic crystal?]

“Yes,……. I’m sorry to have interrupted you.”

[No, that’s okay. The purpose has been served. You do what you have to do.]

Although Dacia said so, for Irza, she was filled with regret.

Irza felt sorry that she had not been able to participate in the plan.

Furthermore, she had unintentionally stopped Dacia’s plan.

All of these things were causing him trouble.

Irza is a devil who has been sent here.

Her rank is that of a high-ranking devil.

She has been entrusted to experiment with magical tools here in order to prepare for the coming calamity, using her knowledge of magic and magic tool production that she has cultivated over the years.

On the day of the attack, she continued her research here in peace.

That was what she regretted.

“Why didn’t you call me ……?”

[Because …… I couldn’t have you exposed as a devil.]

“But ……”

[Put away those wings and horns. Don’t bring them out just to talk to me.]

“……Yes, ……”

Irza flicks the switch on the magic tool she just used.

Then her horns and wings disappeared and she took on a human form.

Although this is something that can only be activated inside the house, it allows her to do her business and hide her true identity.

When she goes outside, she uses a magic tool for going out and hides only her wings.

For some reason, her horns cannot be concealed with a portable magic tool, so she wears a large hat.

The hat is not always in place, but she uses magic to prevent it from coming off.

After putting away her horns and wings, Irza looked at the crystal again.

She still wasn’t convinced.

“Am I not strong enough?”

[I don’t think so. You are better than Kuti and Daroslaina. Nobody wants to leave you out.]

“Then why ……”

[……, you have been in contact with them, right?]

“…… yes.”

Dacia’s raid on the Kingdom of Salettana was top secret to Irza.

It was done for her own good and to keep an eye on her children, who were supposed to be by her side.

Dacia was a little surprised at Irza’s different living environment from the past, but seeing this, he decided not to ask her to help in this raid.

Although this was something she found out later, …….

[The Reincarnator. You must have been in contact with it. All along.]

“…… yes. That’s right.”

This is something she finally realized when Houen came to her today.

The person named Reizen that Houen mentioned should also be a reincarnator, and she realized that Ouren who is working with them is a reincarnator as well.

Why didn’t she notice it earlier?

Ouren possessed [Sanctification] and even [Great Heal] which could not even be acquired by ordinary people.

At the time, she only knew him as a person who possessed rare skills, but now she understands.

He was called the White Snake, and he had the same skills as Hiwa.

“But …… what made you know about that?”

[Abus and Iubola are good at gathering information. I didn’t understand it until I saw the [Heaven Split], but when I compared it to the information they had, I knew right away. I was surprised when I traced the reincarnator trail back to you. Besides, you’ve been doing a lot for me.]

“I-it just happened. It’s just a coincidence….”

[I know.]

After moving her eyes in the magic crystal, he began to speak again.

[We are now their enemy. It can’t be helped. But you are now different. They still trust you and depend on you. Irza, you can assist them.]

“You mean you want me to make them stop ……?”

[Perhaps that is not possible. We are bound by the curse. It is impossible to communicate in between. So please, I ask you to guide them.]

“Guide…. them ……?”

Indeed, something like this didn’t ring a bell.

Dacia explained to Irza, who tilted her head, in simple terms.

[The Human being, thin them out.]

“…… Well, that’s all we can do.”

[Humph, what a curse. I have to go so far as to say it in a roundabout way. And I have one more favor to ask.]

“What is it?”

[I need you to find out more about Garak, the Akki. I can’t reach him.]

“That’s nothing at all. Can you give me a couple of weeks? I’m afraid that in human form, my activities are severely restricted. ……”

[No problem. I’ll be waiting to hear from you. …… thank you, I’ll leave it to you.]

“Yes, sir.”

Finally, the eyes closed and faded until only a beautiful crystal remained.

Ilsa carefully put the crystal away again and locked it up tightly.

“Ouren-san, Houen-san, and Reizen-san is the black haired person I met at that time. I don’t know who the other one is yet, but I’m sure we’ll find out eventually. ……”

With a final mutter to herself, she blew on the candlestick where the candle was lit and broke the [Silence].
