Episode 35. The real Prause (2)
“Can’t you put your arm back on?”
Maria was annoyed by Incuro’s carefree tone. She clenched her fists, hoping that another blow to him would make her feel better.
It was then.
“I’m here.”
Iris jumped off the roof and landed in front of the two warriors.
“What are you doing here?”
“I took care of some demons on the way back. The other territory also suffered considerable damage from the demons. I think I’ll be fine now.”
“Really?”
“But why were you clenching your fist?”
At her question, instead of answering, Maria stared blankly at Incuro. Iris’ gaze turns to the seriously injured Incuro.
“…… I told you not to care what that old man said. I’ll be a jerk anyway.”
“Are you an idiot?! What are you teaching little kids to say!”
Seeing Kuro’s fury, Maria reluctantly opened her fist.
“…… Be grateful just to be alive. Trash.”
“Trash. That’s too much No matter how much I reveal women, you keep your duty?”
It was the moment she tried to use her magic to wipe out the remaining demons, ignoring Incuro who expressed her regret.
Flash.
Blue light emanated from within the white coat. Maria immediately pulled out her scroll and checked her contents.
“…… Tina, Iris. Let’s clean up the demons here and go back to Sekul.”
“Seculo?”
“Master is three kul long.”
“Okay. Then I’ll clean up right away!”
“Yes. I will help.”
“No. You don’t have to.”
Maria grabbed Tina and Iris, who were about to run to her demons. As the two wonder, Maria casts her spell.
“「Detection of Magic」.”
It was a magic that detected all demons within a certain range. After detecting the entire capital of the Aeum Kingdom, Maria grasps the location of all her demons.
Then she holds her wand high and casts another spell.
“Tears of the morning dew”.
A huge cloud forms in the sky and drops one or two drops at a time. Soon after, it started pouring down.
The demons roaming the kingdom raised their heads to the water dripping onto their skin. It’s a while to see the sudden rain strangely, and again try to slaughter those who couldn’t evacuate.
However, the demons caught in the rain couldn’t move. The demons, who had been shivering while holding weapons, convulsed and collapsed one after another.
As the demons who couldn’t even say the last word started dying one by one, Tina looked back at Maria.
“Oh… …. Maria, what have you done? Demons are dying.”
Tina vomited her doubts after seeing the demons soaring between the buildings disappearing one by one.
9Th level water magic, tears of morning dew.
If you get hit by rainwater pouring down from the clouds, you can pour mana into your opponent, and by using that mana, you destroyed all the cells that a living being should have.
“If you use magic like this, you don’t have to bother with cleaning things up in one shot, right?”
“Whoa. Awesome! A few minutes can see the Master early!”
“Yes. Let’s go.”
“Yes! Oh, but what about this person?”
Tina pointed at Incuro.
“There will be no problem moving, so let’s just leave it. I don’t want to hang out with this trash.”
“Still, I think it would be better to take him. Isn’t there a reason why the master told me to save him?”
Maria made a disapproving sound. The thought of Incuro touching her body filled her with intense discomfort.
“Oh, no. Tell them to come on their own!”
“If you look closely, Maria is really reckless.”
“I don’t want to hear from you!”
Maria latched onto Tina and grabbed her arm. Iris smiled bitterly and put her hand on her Maria’s shoulder.
“「Teleport」.”
Three warriors leave by teleport.
“Are you really going to throw it away anyway……. It’s a miss, a miss…….”
Looking at the place where the three heroes stood just a moment ago, Incuro murmured in dismay.
“I don’t know what to say to someone stronger than me… ….”
Kuro, who muttered so much, sighed and put his back and his head against the wall.
She looked up at the sky.
The sky was turning purple as if the sun was setting.
He suddenly felt empty and looked bitterly at his severed arm.
“Oh, it’s hard. I want to be comforted by women.”
Even with one of his arms blown off, an Incuro was an Incuro.

“Master! We are here!! Where are you in now?!”
“I am here.”
I took out a shovel from the small shed next to the house and answered Tina’s booming voice.
“… You came early.”
All three warriors were intact.
Fortunately, it seemed that he had dealt with all of the 4th corps without getting hurt. It was like that in the game, but when you hit the limit, you get really strong.
“How was the treatment of the 4th corps?”
I asked as I closed the warehouse door.
“Whoops, of course I ended it!”
Tina raised her thumb, she said confidently. Next to Tina, Iris licked her lips in regret.
“However, I missed Stella. He created an alter ego and provoked me into a fight, then kicked me out.”
“It’s okay. I killed Stella.”
“Oh! After all, Master!”
The warriors admire with their eyes shining. Even though it was nothing compared to the achievements they had made, there was always something that exaggeratedly reacted to my achievements.
Still, it was fortunate that the 4th Legion was defeated.
If we can defeat the demon king now, we will be able to live in peace for hundreds of years.
There is only one step left. A very heavy step.
Of course, there was still a lot of work to be done before that.
I looked down at the shovel I was holding before entering the house. The warriors naturally follow me.
“By the way, Master, what is that shovel?”
I didn’t answer the warriors. I was just taking a step.
The warriors noticed something strange about my reaction and followed me without saying anything.
“I’m back!”
“It feels like coming back after a really long time.”
I stood the shovel beside the table while listening to the warriors talking peacefully without knowing anything yet.
I go into my father’s room.
After accepting Maria’s suggestion and expanding the house, the father’s room had not been touched. So that you can stay and go anytime you come.
But it seemed meaningless now.
“Huh? There!”
“Has the teacher’s father come by any chance?!”
“Father!”
The warriors enter the room while refreshingly singing Paroko.
Perhaps seeing Parocco with his eyes closed on the bed, the warriors who had been talking refreshingly a moment ago held their breath.
“Ahhh… …. Were you sleeping? Did you make too much noise?”
“Ugh, Tina.”
“I wasn’t the only one who liked you. Iris’s voice was also loud, well.”
“It’s okay. Even if you talk loudly.”
I wiped her body and changed into clean clothes.
“Yes?”
“Because I can’t hear it anymore anyway.”
“What does that mean… ….”
“No way… ….”
The warriors in the back understood my meaningful words and hurriedly approached the side of the bed.
Looking down at her nose with her eyes closed calmly, Tina shook her head as if denying reality.
Because she has eyes to see the essence, she knows what her father’s condition is. Perhaps he was embarrassed because he couldn’t even see the slightest bit of life in his father.
“This is how it should be… no… …. Why… ….”
Clenching her fists, she hurriedly puts her hand under Paro’s nose. The warriors who watched Tina’s actions are also convinced.
Paroco is dead.
“…… Isn’t it?”
Tina turns her body around and looks up at me. She grabs my clothes and lifts the corners of her mouth to smile.
“Isn’t it? Are you pretending to be dead?”
I turned away from her earnest gaze.
Tina shouts “Kuu!” She let out a short moan and shouted as she tightened her grip on her clothes.
“Master! Say something!”
“Tina!”
Iris dries Tina. Her grip on my clothes loosened slightly.
“Why… …. Why… ….”
“The thing that killed my father… ….”
She was about to say that she was Stella, but when she saw Iris, she was speechless. Speaking of which, she felt that Iris would feel guilty for missing Stella.
“…… I don’t know either. When I went, she was already dead with her heart pierced.”
“Then…… Did the demon king order you to kill your father?”
“Perhaps. Until now, my actions were only things that the demon king would be offended by. I should have expected and prepared for an assassination attempt like this. I was complacent.”
“I’m going to kill you. Right now! I can’t forgive you! Never!”
Tina can’t hide her resentment. Tears welled up in her eyes before she knew it, and at the moment of flickering, they seemed to flow like a flood.
She exhales wildly and her chest rises. Uncontrollable anger was felt in her bloodshot eyes.
Even though it wasn’t her own father, she was so angry that her own father died.
“What are you doing! Get ready quickly!”
“Calm down, Tina.”
“Looks so real now—!”
Tina stopped her words at Maria’s words.
Maria, who usually doesn’t show her crying because of her pride, was quietly saddened.
“I have to bury him first.”
“Yes. That comes first, Tina.”
From noble mtl dot com
Iris said, holding back her tears. She desperately tries to hide her sadness, but her limp tail shows no signs of coming back up.
“Prause, are you there?”
The door opens and footsteps are heard from outside. Eventually, he finds us and enters his father’s room. It was quite crowded with six people entering the small room.
“Prause, I received a coffin from the villagers.”
“I brought a cloth to wrap the parocco and some flowers to decorate it with.”
It seemed that Ella and Ariel had brought what they asked for safely. Ella, who belatedly saw the warriors, said as if muttering.
“Ah, the disciples came too… ….”
I sighed and let go of Tina’s hand from her clothes.
Since the preparations for the funeral seem to have been made to some extent, it seemed okay to start slowly.
“Let’s go.”
Let’s do our best to hold the funeral so that he can go away comfortably.
