I shall be hiding my figure for a brief period. The time I once again appear in front of you insects will be when it is the end of you people.
How long have I been absent minded since Creasyl said that and disappeared?
When I noticed, the girl called Yuuhi was crouching at the place where Setsu vanished, crying.
I hate all the women who approach him, but for some reason only right now I cant feel anything and feelings of sympathy welled up curiously.
I could not longer feel Setsus magic power anywhere.
He vanished. He completely vanished.
Tears didnt come out. For some reason I was completely cooled off from the depths of my body and my mind was awfully calm.
In order to thoroughly accept that his death was the way it is
About an hour elapsed since the fight between Touma, Setsu and Creasyl.
The beastmen arrived as reinforcements, the human soldiers were restrained altogether and the decisive battle on the demon continent ended in victory for the allied forces.
However, the fact they were left with reasonable sacrifices and above all the disappearance of one man was why none could propose to attack the human country.
The clout of the man called Setsu was large enough to move countries.
In good and bad meaning.
And so, if one were to ask what that central personage of the world is doing now
Hey, hand over your clothes
Haiiiih!
He was single-handedly strangling robbers.
If youve learned anything from this, then dont be doing anything evil again, got it?
I got it! Boss!
Good, now go
Yesser! Were going, lads!
I got clothes for my upper body from the robbers who attacked the carriage of a small merchant.
Ive been walking in the forest for a while, but Ive been topless you know.
Im glad these guys happened to be here, but if I enter even a single city like this Ill instantly be a criminal. That was dangerously close.
Youre not hurt are you, pops?
Ye- yeah You saved me. I have to offer you some reward for
Aah, its fine I tell you. More importantly, can you tell me the closest city from here?
City?
The attacked merchant pops racked his brains for a while over my question and came up with several candidates for me.
There is a city if you go south of here. It seems they are greatly thriving by some labyrinth. However it should take a day from here. There are places you can go in several hours, but
What is it then? Dont be biased please
Theres a village in the north. Its a largish village. Theres an inn there as well so you wont be worried about living there.
Oh, aint that place nice
For the time being Id like a place to calm myself down.
Its a huge deal, not being able to use my magic bag because I ended up losing my magic power.
I managed to fasten the broken Kuromaru on my back with a string.
Id like a backpack and its better to have a change of clothes too I guess.
If thats the case then there are no options other than going to that village which will probably take me ten minutes if I go on foot.
Ah, I cant use magic, but Ill make it work out today somehow with just my physical ability.
Its just I myself came from there, but an illness is spreading widely over there you see
Illness?
Yes. We dont know the cause, but it seems to be an illness that will rapidly break down your body. Mainly the children and the elderly develop the illness. My daughter developed the illness too you see. Now Im about to go call a skilled doctor from the city.
Illness a disease huh.
I know some of the diseases in this world in general when it comes to knowledge, but theres no name that comes to mind.
That it affects children and gramps and grannies means its the natural enemy of weak-bodied guys I guess.
well, it got nothing to do with me.
Really
If you cherish your body then its better not to go. Several dead have already turned up
Thats quite unpleasant
If dead people turns up then that changes the story.
With my current situation without magic power, Im a little anxious.
If I look at this pops looking all alive, then a short term stay is fine?
Setsu, we shall go to that village
?
Stroh who was beside me suddenly opened her mouth.
By the way, this girl whos a god doesnt seem to enter ordinary peoples field of vision as long as she doesnt try to intentionally show her appearance.
Her voice cant be heard either it seems. Aint she pretty much a phantom, this girl?
I have a clue as to the true color of the illness. If they match then it should at the very least be an incident that is involved with us gods
Its settled then.
Or rather, theres a guy in trouble in front of my eyes and yet ending the conversation with Keep at it then okay~ is painful.
If it has to do with gods, then I cant possibly not stick my nose into it.
Ill go to that village for a bit pops
He, hey! I just told you its dangerous
Ill do something about it, aight?
!
I leave behind those words and run towards the north without looking back.
Around the time I could no longer see the pops figures, Stroh who was calmly keeping pace with me looked into my face for some reason.
You are a mysterious man
Ah? What do you mean?
For some reason your words give sense of security. As if it will become reality when you say so
She keeps saying things I aint sure of.
Its the usual thing from my perspective.
If I say Ill do something about, then Ill do something about it. Even Creasyl, Ive decided to whoop her down. Thats why, I will absolutely whoop her down.
Theres no such thing as impossible if I put my mind to it.
Because the world is made that way.
