147 – 4 as planned
On our way to Sofia, we stopped by an inn for a while.
There, I went into a room alone with Cazeros.
“Then I will see you tomorrow. Please have a good night..”
Polena greeted us lightly, then closed the door and left.
Like that, at the point where we were perfectly alone without needing to notice any more, the two of us began to quietly tilt the wine glasses in the room.
“Because it’s like this.. it definitely reminds me of the old days.”
“If you think of the old days… are you talking about that at that time? Stayed at an inn on the way to Benessa..”
Suddenly, a slightly shy smile began to form on Cazeros and me as we recalled the events of that time, which are now memories of a long time ago.
Cazeros, who stayed in the same room with me when I was wet from a storm.
Cazeros was still young at the time, and I didn’t know exactly what she thought of me, so from my point of view, that moment was a time when I had to try to resist the temptation no matter what.
“I’m confessing now, but… honestly, even back then, I thought it would be okay if it was Santana-sama. Even though I fell asleep while thinking about it.”
“Ha ha.. Back then, honestly, it wasn’t easy for me either. It’s embarrassing, but… I already had feelings for you from then on.”
Our situation at that time was really bad.
He was excommunicated as a paladin, kicked out of Milan, and practically running away to Benessa.
In addition, we suffered a lot in many ways due to an unexpected storm, and the inn we stayed in was also a really bad place compared to the place we are staying at now.
But.. nevertheless, we were able to laugh with joy while thinking about what happened at that time.
It was a difficult time at the time, but looking back, I can say that those memories gathered one by one to create the relationship between us today.
Through those things, I was able to realize my feelings for a woman named Cazeros.
Cazeros too. As I got to know more about who I was, I was able to trust myself.
Like that, the two of us began to show a deep smile on our lips as we recalled the memories of the time that came as precious time like jewels.
“Even though we broke up for a while after that… and there were difficult things like this, but I’m happy now. Because you are by my side.”
“Me too. Cazeros.. Meeting you was the greatest fortune in my life.”
While confirming each other’s feelings once again, the two of us began to carefully hug each other’s bodies as they were.
The warmth you feel each other.
warm and cozy…
And, in that sense of deep joy, we slowly began to kiss each other on the lips.
A familiar yet extremely sweet feeling.
As we savored it to our heart’s content, we slowly began to undress each other.
In order to taste the greatest happiness we can enjoy in this precious time with our loved ones..

time in the dark.
Blood and Polena, who were staying separately in the private room of the inn, were sitting and talking despite the late hour.
“So you finally came back like this. To the Dragona Empire.”
“Yeah, how did it happen? After moving along with our master, I ended up coming back here.”
“But… are you really okay? If this happens, you won’t be able to avoid their eyes anymore… you won’t be able to hide Master’s identity, right?”
Blood speaks with a voice full of concern while looking at Polena.
In response, Polena told her with a calm smile on her lips.
“You know what it is like. Because I took all of that into account in the first place and chose the path. There was no need for that anymore in the first place.”
“yes?”
Polena says something unexpected.
In response, Blood asked a question with a deep question that felt momentary.
Regarding this, Polena slightly broke her smile and spoke in a serious voice.
“Now is the time… Crucially, I found the guy I’ve been looking for all along.”
“!.. that.. those words..”
Blood looked shocked at Polena’s words for a moment.
Regarding this, Polena cast a thick shadow over her face for an instant and spoke to her disciple in front of her eyes.
“If he moves, the entire continent will surely be greatly shaken… So you should prepare in advance. In just a little while, a great storm like nothing that has ever happened before will come. The biggest reason I’m going now is also to warn the Dragona Empire about it.”
“… Umm..”
Blood with a hardened expression at Polena’s words.
But at this moment, apart from the uncomfortable feelings she was feeling, she had no doubt about the fact that things would really go like that in the future.
The world her teacher saw had never been wrong.
Although she has a seemingly sloppy appearance, her eyes to see the world and read its flow were more accurate than anything else.
Especially considering that she, her teacher, was working as a maid in the Holy Empire in the first place, to prepare for that huge trend.
And… after turning his gaze away from Blood, who was slightly afraid of the upcoming situation.
Polena quietly had a figure of a person in her mind.
She began to think of the man she was calling by the title of master.
‘The best card I’ve chosen is ready.. All that remains is to see how this man solves this matter..’

A small house located on the outskirts of Sophia Castle.
There, Soul, the Archwitch of the Dragona Empire, was busy concentrating on the training of her new disciple.
“With the feeling of slowly gathering mana and condensing it into one. That’s right.. And if you draw a magic circle in your head and then slowly release it…”
“Haa!”
Her disciple, Freddy, begins to radiate magical powers under her direction.
Right after that, the mana that escaped from Freddy’s body began to form a kind of shape as it was united as one.
A scene as if fog were gathering into one.
And after a while, a certain existence began to appear in front of Freddy’s eyes.
that’s right…
“..Whoa..”
“great job. finally succeeded To summon the Ghost Rider.”
What I saw in front of my eyes was the figure of a knight riding a horse that existed in a translucent state.
A knight whose entire body is covered in armor and radiates a menacing presence.
Seeing his figure, Freddy clenched his fists as he felt deep joy.
“at las..!”
Compared to his days as a wizard in the past, Freddy is developing differently day by day.
Although it was still a situation that was lacking compared to the ‘teacher’, nevertheless, compared to the past when he was stagnant and wandering around in agony, it was rude to make a comparison in this situation.
‘Certainly, the speed of development itself is different. Indeed.. As Master Soul said, I had a talent. As a witch, the talent to be much more vulnerable than now…’
Freddie with a smile on his lips feeling such deep joy
Seeing her like that, Soul slowly began organizing the training room.
Freddy also started to help his master clean up the traces he had made.
“Come to think of it, it seems that the time has come. It’s time to formally introduce Freddy to our lord.”
“Like I said before, I’m really fine. All I want is skill, and I have no desire to get involved in power affairs here yet.”
“Anyway, it’s special. Some people fret not to get an opportunity like this… But, I think this should probably go ahead against your will.”
“yes?”
Freddy expresses his doubts and bewilderment at Soul, who speaks unexpectedly.
Seeing her like that, Soul said with a smile on her lips.
“Actually, there is an important event in Sofia soon, so I think I should greet the lord regarding it.”
