Volume 7 Chapter 145, Magic Sword ~ 53
Afterward.
The whole group was on the move and ready to go. With just one more tick on their feet, they would be within sight of the city walls of Ares. The sight of the golden ears of wheat rustling in the wind was mesmerizing.
Sheryl woke up and quickly fulfilled her contract as a magical slave, and was welcomed as Satoru's new magical slave. She accepted her new status as a magical slave with great courtesy, and she faced everyone with a demeanor that showed not the slightest hint of her wild behavior of the previous night. Isolde was surprised by Sheryl's manners, which almost made her look as if she had been reborn.
First, Leia gave Sheryl a brief on how they had been doing so far
Sheryl was ashamed when she heard the details of the accident. She was horrified to learn that she had been engaged to someone like that, even though they were no longer related to each other.
She was also surprised by all the other things she was told. And once again, she realizes, that a person(Solor) who has lost the art of magic and who is living on magic is no match for Satoru, no matter how much she tries to do so.
Meanwhile, Sheryl tells Satoru that she has been using 【Detecting】 the Giant Killer as a landmark.
At that moment, Leia's expression is wide with bitterness. Sheryl realized once again that even Leia Löwenstadt, with all her wisdom, could not see everything.
The meeting was held closely.
Satoru handed Sheryl several pieces of equipment directly from his hand. After reapplying the magic power to the equipment for all the members who had lost their magic power, the 【Communication】` to communicate with Satoru and the 【Thunder Spear】 attack sorcery were added to the newly prepared rings.
The 【Thunder Spear】 is small-range offensive sorcery, and although it does not have the power to kill instantly, it can paralyze with a high probability due to the impact of lightning. According to Leia's appraisal, it can be used 100 times.
Three other magic crystals containing one-shot attack sorcery are also prepared. The magic power contained in the magic crystals is a type of disposable magic tool that is activated at the same time as the chant. The art contained in the magic crystals is a high-powered extermination type of art. In addition, earrings containing defensive arts are also presented.
Even after performing these rough tasks, Satoru's magic power did not seem to be affected, and it is said that almost everyone, including Leia, was taken aback by it.
At first, Sheryl was reluctant to accept them, but eventually, she accepted them. She would have to watch over the entire country of Ares almost by herself. She had no idea where the danger lay.
In fact, Satoru, after consulting with Leia and Solor last night, had made a preparation when he put the magic into the magic crystal, but as expected, Sheryl did not know that much, because she had passed out after running out of energy during anal intercourse.
Solor was chosen as Satoru's partner on the first day. The reason was not only the decrease in magic power due to the reversal of the magic circle but also the fact that she would have to work one more time. Solor had assured Satoru that there was almost no problem with her in her current state, but he was sure to make sure.
Sheryl also watches and is amazed by the activities of Satoru with the doll, which writhes lewdly at the hands of Satoru. She seems to be an ordinary beautiful woman. The Magic Doll, which was made in Castile, one of the ancient magical kingdoms that slept at the bottom of the Labyrinth of No Return, would probably have been used for various studies if it had been found by the Academy of the Wise or another academy.
When they were close to a certain distance, Solor made full use of 【Group Transfer】 by tracing Sheryl's mind. The magic power that had been reduced by the transfer was replenished through intercourse that night, and the next morning, the group began to move to the next location, where they are now.
「Now, Satoru-sama. I would like to borrow Solor-sama.」
Sheryl was given a total of one koku. Half a koku after the 【Group Transfer】 by Solor, the Chalk Tower is to be destroyed, and another half a koku later, the Royal Castle Strahltraun is supposed to be destroyed.
Satoru gave a stern look to Sheryl, who greeted him with a surprisingly cheerful face.
「Ah. ―Listen, don't get the purpose wrong.」
「Of course. I'll keep that in mind.」
Satoru had one concern about Sheryl. Since the day after the debauchery conduct, Sheryl has been speaking and acting honestly, and upright. There is one thing that can be sensed from this.
Satoru looked at Solor, who was standing by Sheryl's side. Solor nodded silently. In the preparation, Satoru had mentioned this to Solor in advance. There is no indication that Sheryl is aware of this.
Sheryl thanked each of Satoru's magical slaves.
「Well, I know it's a tough role, but don't neglect it.」
「If you don't do well, Satoru and we will be in trouble. I'm counting on you, okay?」
「Hmm, hmm. Take care, okay-」
Leia, Rico, and Minerva, the three oldest members of the group, sent Sheryl off with their own words. Although they were all in the same position as Satoru's slave, Sheryl's role was different from theirs. And that role is something that only Sheryl can do.
「Also for Isolde-sama. Thank you for your help.」
「Don't be. We are indebted to you as well.」
Isolde laughed, and then, with a straight face, she thrust the sword from her waist toward Sheryl.
「I will be Lord's sword and shield for you who cannot journey with us. When Lord's journey is over, I will surely return this sword to you. So ...... we shall meet again」
Sheryl did not reply directly to Isolde's voice. She simply smiled in trouble and bowed deeply.
Satoru could not help but think that Sheryl's attitude was not what he had expected. It's a problem ― but he hopes that the preparation will somehow go well.
Finally, Sheryl hung her head toward Liz. Liz had not spoken a word to Sheryl on the way here. She really hadn't said a word to Sheryl since the conversation they had on that night.
It's no wonder, Sheryl thought. No matter how much Satoru says he forgives her, no matter how she tries to explain it, she is a member of the group that caused her mother's death.
As Sheryl turned around in self-mockery, Liz spoke to her.
「Sheryl-san, you are a sly person.」
「...... sly?」
The words were so unexpected that Sheryl turned to Liz once again. Liz's lips were tightly knit and trembling, but she stared at Sheryl with a strong, determined glare.
「If you say goodbye here, it will remain in Onii-san's heart forever. Occupying a part of Onii-san's heart, that is so unfair」
「That's ......」
「I will forget about you」
Liz continued to speak to Sheryl, who was at a loss to reply, and Sheryl quickly realized the truth of her words and looked up.
Forgetting her mother's resentment―meaning that Liz does not see Sheryl as her mother's avenger. A small ball of tears floats in the corner of Liz's eye.
「When Onii-san's journey comes to an end, even if Onii-san calls you out of pity, 『What? Who are you?』 I will call out that to you!」
Liz's face turned red as she screamed, then turned away with a huff. She was like, "I've already said what I want to say,". Minerva, noticing the tears spilling from the corner of her eyes, came up to her and patted her head.
「...... I will never forget you, Liz-san.」
Sheryl replied with a firm attitude. Sheryl sighed and bowed deeply once more to Liz, then looked around at the group.
「Then. I hope you are all well.」
Sheryl took Solor's hand and flew away in a 【Group Transfer】. She has a tough negotiation and journey ahead of her.
「......My Lord」
「No, I know. Isolde, you noticed it too, didn't you?」
「...... probably not that different.」
「Sheryl-san, when it's over, you're going to die, aren't you?」
Liz, who still had her face buried in Minerva's chest, jerked at Rico's last mutter.
「I won't forgive her if she does that. ......」
Minerva said nothing but simply continued to gently stroke Liz's head.
「For the time being, I've already told Solor that. As long as Sheryl doesn't have a temper tantrum, she should be fine.」
「Hou? What magic words did you say to her?」
Leia asks, curious. Satoru gave a small laugh.
「There are no magic words. No matter how much magic is in this world. All right, let's go」
