“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 can’t feel anything and feelings of sympathy welled up curiously .
I could not longer feel Setsu’s magic power anywhere .
He vanished . He completely vanished .
Tears didn’t 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 you’ve learned anything from this, then don’t be doing anything evil again, got it?”
“I got it! Boss!
“Good, now go”
“Yesser! We’re going, lads!”
I got clothes for my upper body from the robbers who attacked the carriage of a small merchant .
I’ve been walking in the forest for a while, but I’ve been topless you know .
I’m glad these guys happened to be here, but if I enter even a single city like this I’ll instantly be a criminal . That was dangerously close .
“You’re not hurt are you, pops?”
“Ye- yeah… You saved me . I have to offer you some reward for――――――――”
“Aah, it’s 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? Don’t be biased please”
“ … There’s a village in the north . It’s a largish village . There’s an inn there as well so you won’t be worried about living there . ”
“Oh, ain’t that place nice”
For the time being I’d like a place to calm myself down .
It’s 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 .
I’d like a backpack and it’s better to have a change of clothes too I guess .
If that’s 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 can’t use magic, but I’ll make it work out today somehow with just my physical ability .
“It’s just… I myself came from there, but an illness is spreading widely over there you see…”
“Illness?”
“Yes . We don’t 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 I’m 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 there’s no name that comes to mind .
That it affects children and gramps and grannies means it’s the natural enemy of weak-bodied guys I guess .
… well, it got nothing to do with me .
“Really…”
“If you cherish your body then it’s better not to go . Several… dead have already turned up”
“ … That’s quite unpleasant”
If dead people turns up then that changes the story .
With my current situation without magic power, I’m 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 who’s a god doesn’t seem to enter ordinary people’s field of vision as long as she doesn’t try to intentionally show her appearance .
Her voice can’t be heard either it seems . Ain’t 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’
It’s settled then .
Or rather, there’s 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 can’t possibly not stick my nose into it .
“I’ll go to that village for a bit pops”
“He, hey! I just told you it’s dangerous――――――――”
“I’ll 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 ain’t sure of .
It’s the usual thing from my perspective .
“If I say I’ll do something about, then I’ll do something about it . Even Creasyl, I’ve decided to whoop her down . That’s why, I will absolutely whoop her down . ”
There’s no such thing as impossible if I put my mind to it .
Because the world is made that way .
