42 Funny battle of the candy castle (2/2)

Normally, a magic shield, no matter how powerful it is, can only produce one shield. But she's deploying multiple magical shields at the same time.

Even Chiyuki can't use this much defensive magic.

The only person I know who can use this much defensive magic is Raina.

Raina doesn't do much fighting, but she's pretty strong.

She's especially good at magic and techniques related to defense, and once I asked her to let me match up with her, but her attacks didn't reach me at all.

Other than that, Raina can also use recovery magic and spirit magic.

According to Nao-chan, she's called a priest warrior, but she might be the same type.

''It's a nine-fold magic shield. Kuna can produce up to nine magic shields at the same time. Kroki says that Kuna specializes in recovery and defensive magic. Nevertheless, I was a little impatient with the attack now ....... Kroki would be able to avoid all of them, but I can't avoid that one now with Kuna.

The Silver Witch was right, indeed, Kroki had avoided this technique in the past.

It's not just this technique. When we fought in the St. Renaria Republic, Kroki easily avoided every move I could muster.

When did he really become so strong?

'But Kuna is still stronger than you. No, it's not just strength. She has bigger breasts than you and a thinner waist. Even in beauty, Kuna is superior to you!

The Silver Witch looks at me and continues.

'Nah, what's that!　You're too big that way!

I say, holding my chest.

It's true that the other side is shorter than me, but her breasts are bigger than mine. And her waist is thin and nipped.

It's frustrating, but I'm losing in style.

But I'm sure my breasts are not small. Rather, they should be larger than the average. They are too big over there.

In the first place, why do I say such a thing at this time? I don't know what that means.

'Silone, you are no longer needed. So, this kuna will make you disappear!

I could see the white witch's magic growing.

I don't know why, but I didn't want to lose.

The White Silver Witch comes towards me with her scythe at the ready.

''What? I'm never going to lose!

I will meet them with my sword at the ready.

Regina, former princess of Argoa

'Oh, your husband is here: ......'

It warms my heart.

I didn't want to be here anymore.

It reminds me of Riette.

'I used to play with you back in the day: ......

I muttered to myself.

It was sad to see the look in Riette's eyes as she hated herself.

Liette's mother was kind to me, too. The person who killed that mother was none other than her own father.

So I have every right for Liette to hate me. And so do all the others. That's why I don't want to be here.

The only one who isn't is Omiros.

But I feel bad for Omiros, but I still want to stay at the Master's.

That's why I have to hurry and go to the master's place.

Right now, there's only one other brave sister in the room besides me, called Kyouka.

The woman called Shirone or something like that was called by Kuna-sama and ran out of this room.

The woman called Kaya seems to have found her husband and this also ran out of the room.

Let's get out of this room somehow.

The woman called Kyouka doesn't seem to be very strong, but I still wouldn't be able to match her.

I steal her eyes and how do I get out?

Suddenly, there is a knock on the door.

'Who are you?　You can come in.

The door is opened. It's Omiros there. He is armed as if he is wary of the masters.

''Oh, Omiros-san. Is something wrong?

'Master Kyouka. Would you give me permission to take Rigena out?

What, you call me?

I wonder what Omiros is going to do.

'What do you think he's going to do with Mr. Regena?

”The Dark Knight has come to Argoa. Therefore, I will return Regina to the Dark Knight.

Eh, .......

The word surprises me.

'Yes, sir. If you say so, we won't say anything.

Kyouka says as if she realizes something.

'Before we do that, I'd like to go outside with Regina ...... to talk to you alone. ......

Omiros and Kyouka look at me.

'What do we do, Regina-san: ......

I see Omiros, too. I am not lying. Omiros is not going to cheat me.

Omiros really intends to bring me back to my master.

So I nod my head. To say goodbye for the last time to my childhood friend who thought of me.

''I will go.''

I stand up and head towards Omiros.

'Hold on, Miss Regena. You forgot something.

Saying that, Kyouka comes to me and holds out an object.

''This is my sword .......''

Kyouka held out a small sword that the master gave me for me.

''It's important, isn't it?　I'll give it back to you first. And don't forget to tell me that you're coming to me. I'm always waiting for you.

Kyouka smiles at that.

Isn't this young lady really a very nice person?

'I'll have to get your husband to agree to that. But I'd appreciate that sentiment alone.

I bow my head.

'So here it is: ......'

I raise my head and go to Omiros.

'Let's go, Regina,'

I'm going to follow Omiros.

Where are you going, Omiros?

I'll start with the cemetery.

Omiros answers without looking back.

'Why are you in the ...... grave?'

'Your mother's grave. If you go to Nargol, you might not be able to come back here again.

So I can see why Omiros wanted to take me to the grave. 'Omiros is going to take me to my mother's grave,' he said.

'No, I can't go!

But I refuse to accept it.

”Why, Regina?

'Because everyone left in Nargol can't visit the grave, but I can't do it alone: ......

I can't be allowed to look good when everyone else can't.

So ......

'I'm sorry Omiros ....... You said that because you were thinking of me. ......

'It's okay ....... I was happy to see Regina again.

Omiros looks back and laughs.

My heart tightens.

I am aware of Omiros' feelings. But my mind is already made up.

So even if I could stay in Argoa, I would not be able to respond to Omiros' feelings.

I remember that day.

That day, we were driven into a goblin's den.

I was afraid of the goblins. We were running away to avoid detection.

One by one, we were down, and one by one, our friends were down. My heart felt like it was going to break with fear.

And then it appeared before us. A huge dragon that seemed to embody the horrors of this world.

When that dragon appeared, my heart was shattered.

I was so scared that I felt like crying.

But then a miracle happened.

A dark knight rode on that dragon, took off his helmet and smiled gently at us.

A dark knight on a dragon more fearsome than a goblin, even though the dark knight is even more fearsome.

The moment I saw that smile, my mind was out of control.

The fear I had before disappeared as if it were a lie.

My life in Nargol began at that moment.

Even though there were only demons around me, I was strangely not afraid of anything.

That's because I'm with my master. When the Master is by my side, I don't even remember the day I was chased by goblins.

If the most frightening being in the world smiles at me, then I shouldn't have anything to be afraid of.

I have to be without my husband. I am not safe without my Master's side.

If the Master is not there, I only have nightmares of goblins chasing me. I never have such nightmares when the Master is around.

So I want to be by the Master's side. It doesn't have to be a wife. You don't have to be one of his favorite mistresses. You don't have to be a slave. Anyway, I just want to be by your side.

So I want to return to the Master's side as soon as possible.

I'm sorry to Omiros for all the things he did for me, but there's nothing I can do about this. I apologize in my heart.

'Well, let's go to the lookout. I've asked Macusis to send an exorcism. It should be easier for the Dark Knight to find Regina there.

With that, Omiros walks away.

The watchtower is where it's higher than the rest of the city walls to keep an eye on Nargol.

Surely the master will be able to find me there.

We head there.

After a short walk, we reach the lookout point.

The place where we climbed up the ladder was surprisingly large and could accommodate 2 to 30 people.

I'm sure they'll find us here soon enough.

Omiros laughs.

'Thank you, Omiros,'

I thank Omiros.

I wonder where the Master is? I look around.

'Wait, Regina!　Someone's coming!

I hurry and hide my face at Omiros' words.

I am hated by the people of Algore. It's tricky when they find me.

I hear someone coming up the ladder.

'Who's there!　You're supposed to not let anyone come here!

Omiros says to the one coming up.

'It is I, my prince,'

Lord Parsis?

It was Parsis who climbed up.

He climbed the ladder and stood on top of the viewing platform.

'Lord Parsis!　Where have you been all this time!　And why are you here!

Omiros packs up to Parsis.

'No, I saw the prince climb up to the viewing platform. ...... 'More importantly, I have a question for the prince as well. Why have you brought Princess Regina to this place?

I hid my face, but I think it was obvious. I make a face.

'That shouldn't be any of your business. I want you to get out of here as soon as possible!

But Parsis shakes his head and laughs.

'That's not irrelevant, Prince .......

What do you mean by that?

'But more importantly, why did you bring the princess here?

I wonder at the words. Why would he ask me that?

I understand. I'll tell you: ....... It's to give the Dark Knight the regena. Now you know. Now get out of here, please.

A rootless Omiros replies to Parsis.

'It shouldn't be ....... That's not allowed, Prince .......

Pulsis shakes his head and replies in a muttered voice.

I feel something disturbing in his appearance.

I wonder what it is, I have a bad feeling about something. The sword he wears is ringing.

I look at Omiros. The shield Omiros is holding feels like it's shining.

'What is the matter, Parsi ......?　Hmm, the shield?

Omiros looks at his shield, noticing that it is shining.

''Sshhhhhh!

It was sudden. Pulsis suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at Omiros.

The movement was so fast that he didn't even have time to call out to Omiros.

But even more than that, Omiros's shield moved quickly to catch the sword. It was as if it had a will of its own.

''What ......?''

Omiros steps back and comes over to me.

Are you okay, Omiros?

'Yeah, the shield moved on its own ....... It looks like they protected me .......

Omiros says, looking at the shield.

The shield has a faint glow to it. It looks like a magical shield. I wonder where he got this shield.

Then he looks at Parsis. Why did I do this?

'What are you doing, Master Parsis!　What do you mean by that?!

Omiros glares at Parsis.

'd*mn. ....... You've been defended. I was going to kill you with this blow...oh .......

Pulsis' tone changes. It's as if the polite tone he used earlier is a lie.

''Nah...... Parsis-dono?''

The face of Parsis blurs. And as the blurred face becomes clearer, a completely different face appears there.

I look at the face and almost scream.

'Oh ....... You're ......'

The face was familiar. Abominable memories that had been sealed in the depths of my consciousness come back to me.

'You're ...... Goz?!

Omiros calls out the name.

'Yes ...... it's Goz, Omiros. I didn't think you'd remember me.

Omiros shook his head at those words from Goz.

'I'll never forget you even if I wanted to, Goz ....... I never once forgot the day I met you. I never thought it was you, Parsis, .......

Omiros draws his sword.

'I am honoured to be remembered, my prince. Kukuku.

Goz laughs cryptically.

'Back off, Regina,'

Omiros tells me to step back a bit. But there's no way out on this lookout.

Goz's eyes catch me. I get goosebumps when he looks at me with those eyes.

'Come here, Regina. I'm coming for you.

Goz grins at that.
