Chapter 61
61 – Creepy Gnome Voice “Where are you going?”
***
“Did you insult me by breaking up the party with the intention of ostracizing me? all?”
Maru was getting angry with his colleagues on the street.
“You only learned cowardice from a warrior subject, Natalie. Don’t call me a warrior anywhere, it’s embarrassing. You’re a brat with no loyalty, no honor, no shit!”
“This pig… !”
“Leave me fooling around.”
Colleagues were thinking of abandoning Maru.
It was Keira’s decision.
The party leader decided, so we had to follow it.
For a hero with a bright future, a boyfriend he had at an early age was a nuisance.
Especially if the boyfriend was a poor commoner with no ability.
It only hinders the progress of the hero.
At the same time, it was just an obstacle that prevented them from enjoying a better future.
“Yoris! You don’t even deserve to serve God! You despicable priest!”
“Heaven… Please give me patience so that I can put up with this insult today.”
“Lucy! You’re always like this, so what the fuck. I did as I was doing. nothing to say fuck It would be nice to have trouble with others.”
Lucy flinched at Maru’s harsh accusation.
“Mi, I’m sorry… ”
“shut up! Even if you make that face, I know it’s fake! You must be laughing inside again!”
Maru carried the backpack with one hand and waved to everyone.
“Let’s never see each other again! Even if we meet, we will pretend not to know.”
Natalie laughed.
“That is what I am going to say. If you pretend to know even a little bit, I will break your head right on the spot.”
Lucy hung her head and said nothing.
“… … ”
Lloris waved his hand brightly toward the floor.
“I will not go far.”
After Maru left, the colleagues walked down the street chatting as if nothing had happened.
“It seems likely that the Toledo family will provide long-term support. I guess I just need to work a little harder.”
Natalie and Lloris were delighted at Keira’s words.
Unlike him, Lucy was still depressed, thinking of Maru.
She often looked back and hesitated, but finally made up her mind.
Let’s follow the floor!
“I’m sorry everyone. me. I’ll leave the party.”
Hearing Lucy’s sudden declaration, Kiera seemed taken aback for a moment, but she soon calmed down and spoke calmly.
“okay. Good bye.”
“I will pray for blessings for your future!”
Lucy immediately turned around and ran.
I wandered around the streets looking for Maru.
I was nervous about what to do if I couldn’t meet you.
Fortunately, however, I found Maru eating deer soup at a high-end restaurant.
He was crying like an asshole.
“Let’s see, bastards… I’ll do better… Sobbing.”
“Maru.”
“… … ?”
Maru was surprised to see Lucy standing next to the table, and soon wiped her tears.
In Lucy’s eyes, the look was pitiful and cute.
I smiled involuntarily.
“I’m sorry.”
“Are you here to find your lost luggage? Did I take it?”
“no. No, I left the party.”
“It sucks.”
Maru sniffed and snorted.
“Do you want to play a joke on this situation? you are really cruel I didn’t know it would be this nasty.”
“I really resigned. I’ll swear my everything If I’m lying, now take my wand. If what I am saying is a lie, you can take it and sell it right now.”
“… Did you really quit?”
Maru got up from his seat with a surprised face.
The height difference between the two was more than 20 cm.
Lucy’s head fell back as if it would break.
Both of her eyes shone brightly.
“I will go with you from now on.”
“I can’t believe it. why?”
“Because I like you.”
“Lucy… !”
Maru looked at her intently and then hugged her and gave her a passionate kiss.
And as if he had waited, a man in overalls with a mustache came out of the kitchen happily playing an instrument with his fellow members.
“A passionate love has begun~♪ Hey yohoo~”
The orchestra sang a joyous love song for the two of them, and the dancers came out and danced.
Pedestrians entered the restaurant and cheered and clapped.
Everyone congratulated them on their future.
Afterwards, Maru and Lucy went on an adventure together and sprouted love.
And one night when the moonlight was bright.
“I love you Lucy.”
“I like you too. I love you.”
The two became one.
… … … …
… … …
… …
…
.
“Floor! Are you laughing this year?”
“Are you still out of your mind?”
Maru blinked.
“Looks like the black magic hasn’t worked out.”
Lucy was lying on the floor, unconscious.
Maru, who looked at her condition for a while, lightly tapped her cheek.
“Hey, hey. wake up hey.”
“Um… . uh?”
Lucy opened her eyes and jumped up to her upper body.
“What, what? What’s up? Why am I lying down?”
Maru and Natalie, who were looking down at her, laughed dejectedly.
“Lucy! Be ashamed to say that a child who wants to become an archmage falls under the Lich’s enchanting magic!”
“The magic of seduction… ?”
Lucy looked around with a puzzled expression.
The corpses of the demons formed a mountain, and the building where the elven researchers were confined was completely destroyed.
However, the elves were enjoying their joy as they gathered here and there to see if they had escaped safely and were grateful for being alive.
“There was a leader among the demons.”
Maru squatted down and brushed back the hair covering her face.
“It was a lich mage, but it was very difficult because he tricked you into attacking us.”
“You should have been sober! How stupid would you have been to receive a mental attack uncharacteristic of you! They even cast Meteor! Maru and I almost died!”
Natalie’s voice was so loud that it hurt her ears, as if she was still full of energy.
“I will go to Meteor… ?”
“Look over there!”
Natalie pointed to the building where the elves were imprisoned.
“You beat me!”
“… … ”
Lucy slightly furrowed her brow.
I couldn’t remember anything.
In her head, there was only the memory of having a happy adventure with Maru.
But all those good things were dreams from the devil, Lucy biting her lower lip in displeasure.
“Fuck… ”
“I wish I could have come to my senses. You won anyway.”
Maru smiled and stood up.
He took a healing potion and a rejuvenation potion out of his pocket and drank them one after another.
“You drink too.”
When Natalie is handed two bottles of potion, she looks at Lucy and screams, then opens her eyes wide in surprise.
“Me too… ?”
“why?”
“Oh, no.”
Natalie took the two bottles of potion with trembling hands.
I’m glad she smiled softly.
“Thank you.”
“I’m giving it to you because you had a hard time catching the Lich Wizard with me.”
Looking at the scene, Lucy drooped her shoulders and sulked.
On the other hand, Natalie’s smile grew thicker and her expression brightened.
“When we were fighting earlier, I was surprised that we got along so well. Shall we party forever?”
“Don’t push me at this time.”
Maru said right away and picked up the black cloak that was scattered on the floor.
It was a cloak large enough to be used as a blanket.
“Lucy, do you know what this is? It’s the cloak that the Lich Wizard left behind when he died. It looks good, so I’m going to use it.”
“It’s not too big… ?”
Lucy looked at him curiously.
Maru beckoned to the nearby Fairy Queen.
“Any sword or ax didn’t work for the Lich Wizard, so I called the Fairy Queen in a hurry. Thanks to the enchantment on the weapon, I was able to catch it easily.”
The Fairy Queen flew with the fairies that were smaller than herself, shining with light.
When Maru held out the cloak to her, she hit it with a magic wand.
The cloak soon shrunk to fit.
In the meantime, Maru had a short conversation with someone and looked at Lucy and Natalie.
“Glomadina just said, the guy we caught wasn’t just a lich mage? Is it Niduatus, the staff member of the Demon King’s Army?”
“uh? really?”
“Besides, this cloak is the one worn by the king of the undead.”
“Five! Put it on quickly!”
Natalie was surprised that she had caught such a great guy, and Lucy bit her lip slightly as she sat down on the floor.
Between Maru and Natalie, I felt like I was alone.
‘It would have been nice if we caught it together.’
Why did I get seduced like an idiot?
I don’t know when the more serious thing happened.
He thought about Maru throughout the battle, and when he finished thinking about Maru, the situation was sorted out before he knew it.
“Haa, that really looks like an asshole.”
A sigh escaped Lucy’s lips.
How is he reflected in Maru right now?
Maybe you think of it like a lump of luggage?
Or a backhanded treatment?
Alas, that shouldn’t be the case.
I don’t want to be hated by him.
If abandoned by him… I didn’t know if I would commit suicide.
“Look at this! Crazy really!”
Maru, dressed in a cape, jumped up a five-story high-rise building, and when he came down, he landed on the ground at high speed leaving an afterimage in a zigzag pattern.
“Lucy! Throw a magic spell! anything!”
“uh? Ugh! okay!”
When Lucy hurriedly threw a fireball, Maru wrapped her cloak around her arm and lightly blocked it.
“Is it magic defense?”
“Are you going to stop everything?”
“It won’t.”
Lucy and Natalie ran up to the floor and touched the cloak here and there, marveling at it.
And there was someone who secretly peeped at it among the destroyed buildings, and it was Laura, the daughter of the Demon King.
She opened her eyes and her eyes flashed.
“Azra, following Electrogas, even Niduatus… All the heroes were locked up on the 47th floor, but I thought there would be someone else with the same strength as the heroes.”
Laura hid behind a building and spread her black wings wide.
“I have to tell the Demon King.”
It was the moment when I flew and floated in the air.
Something ran at a speed as if cutting through the wind, spurred wall after wall, jumped up and down, and out of nowhere grabbed her by the tail.
Laura was startled and screamed.
I hurriedly looked down and saw Maru grinning while holding on to her tail.
“Where?”
“… … !?”
Laura’s eyes widened.
Immediately after that, Maru pulled her tail and crashed down together.
