chapter 83
83 – The Wizard of Gale and Fury (12)
The office manager, who was about to pull out his sword, saw Ornette and shouted in surprise.
“Ornette?!”
As soon as she made eye contact with the office manager, an expression of extreme embarrassment appeared on Ornette’s face.
“Sasa, sasasasa, sasa, secretary?!?!”
“Ornette? “What are you doing here?”
“Well, are you… Here… Huh… ?”
Ornette stuttered harshly, unlike usual.
Why is the manager in the devil’s castle?!
“Why are you here?!”
“I have business to do in the Demon King’s Castle. The Demon King is my friend.”
“Chi, chichi, friend… ?”
What does this mean again? The office manager is friends with the devil?!
“Okay. Explain it clearly. Why are you here and why did you attack the Demon Castle?”
“That can’t be possible… That human was in the Demon King’s Castle…? So, is that the human he was talking about?! No, that’s impossible… It can’t happen…”
Ornette did not answer the manager’s question, but she muttered gibberish to herself like a crazy person.
I couldn’t understand the situation.
I’m sure the old man said earlier that the entity Ornette is looking for is in the Demon King’s Castle, right?
“That was that person? Really? No no… Really don’t do this… You can’t do this… Why are you doing this to me… “
“Ornette. I don’t know what to say, but for now… Where are you going!!”
As the manager took a few steps closer, Ornette opened a portal behind her and ran away.
I was so confused now that I couldn’t do anything. Right now, I needed time to organize my thoughts.
Ornette returned to quarantine like that.
But no matter how much I thought about it on my own, I couldn’t come up with an answer, so I ended up looking for the old man.
Then, by chance, he gets into a fight with the office manager… Office manager?!
Why is that person involved here again?!
When the old man threw the office manager with great force and started running away, Ornette cast a spell.
Ornette ran to the old man who had collapsed after being hit by magic and noticed that the old man’s face had changed.
Demon? Was it a polymorph? You tricked me?!
“You cheater!”
Ornette shouted, grabbing the demon by the collar and shaking it.
“What’s going on in the Demon King’s Castle? Huh?! Who are you kidding?!”
There’s no way the person I was looking for was the office manager!
How dare you try to deceive me with such a shallow trick!
That can never happen!!
* * * * *
“After that, it was just like you knew.”
When Ornette’s story ended, I felt like taking a very long sigh.
I couldn’t understand what this kid was thinking. From beginning to end.
The fact that I came to think of myself as useless in the first place, and the fact that I would be holding the hem of my robe if I killed the Demon King, were all my own illusions.
This is truly absurd.
No matter how childish it is, how can something like this be so…
But that doesn’t mean I can say everything that’s in my heart right now.
Ornette is in a very serious and serious situation.
Looking at the dirty look, it seems like he had a hard time coming to an unfamiliar place alone, but I can’t complain here.
Because kids are kids.
In this case, the strong magic power and knowledge inherited from Orleans become poisonous.
They should be like children, but because they think of themselves as if they are high wizards who know everything, there is a constant gap.
Suddenly you’re angry again, that bastard Orléans.
But what?
Are there beings who treat you kindly and want you intensely?
What on earth is that?
Anyway, the priority now is to clear up Ornette’s misunderstanding.
“Ornette. I heard your story well. First of all, it is a complete misunderstanding to consider you useless. “I have never thought like that.”
“It’s a lie. I thought that way ever since the defensive magic didn’t work.”
“It’s not your fault that the defensive magic didn’t work. Why? That’s because the Tenevre kids came in after applying magic resistance oil. Plus, I deliberately told them to lower their sensitivity in case I overlapped with other visitors. That’s why.”
“What… ?”
Ornette was shocked from the first explanation.
The Demon King smiled after hearing my explanation and nodded his head.
“As Leonard said, if it is a defense magic with reduced sensitivity and a special oil, it will be almost undetectable. It will probably be recognized as a flying fly.”
“Really… ?”
As the Demon King helped, Ornette chewed her lips and rolled her eyes.
Then to phase 2.
“Well, you’re angry because I went into the Drapener Guild on my own and made matters worse, right? “I caused an accident without consulting you.”
“I was already thinking about going toe-to-toe with the Drepenners someday. It would be better to reduce the competition by at least one company. But you gave us a head start just in time, giving the Border Guard an opportunity to bust them out. It’s actually a good thing.”
“Uh, huh… ? Really… ?”
“Otherwise, we would have been in trouble dealing with those cunning snakes.”
Ornette’s eyes wavered back and forth.
As he did so, his concentration must have been lost, and the shield that had imprisoned the former Demon King faded.
“Now, wait a minute… !”
Ornette muttered to herself as if she was looking for the next card.
Meanwhile, a harpy came softly and whispered something to the demon king.
“Leonard. How about lamb steak for dinner tonight? I’m thinking of slaughtering a sheep with an injured leg.”
“Good. I go with medium.”
“Okay. What about you? Are you going to have dinner too?”
The Demon King asked the former Demon King over my shoulder.
“Ha… Rare.”
The Sentai Demon Lord sighed at that absurd question and said that everything would happen as it should.
“Okay. What about you, wizard?”
“Give it to this one cooked thoroughly. Because it’s a baby.”
“Two rare, one medium, one well done.”
As the harpy received the order left the room, Ornette raised his head.
“When I was fighting with the Drapener guild members! None of my magic worked, so it didn’t help, and I couldn’t find the hidden room or tie the rope properly…!”
Is it that one this time?
“Didn’t you tell me back then? The Drapeners also applied magic resistance oil. That’s why your magic didn’t work. It’s genuine demon hunter oil, so only a decent wizard can’t overcome it.”
“That’s true. The oil made by demon hunters is very good.”
The devil helped me again.
“And isn’t finding hidden rooms or trapping people what a wizard does? It would be great if you did well, but I don’t think it diminishes your value as a wizard if you don’t.”
“Ugh…”
Ornet opened his mouth as if he was speechless.
It looks like we successfully defended until Phase 3.
There are no more cards to take out now, right?
“Giant warrior!”
“Lucene?”
“A giant warrior has joined the guild, so I’m no longer needed!”
Lucene comes from here?
“You kept saying that magicians are expensive and cannot be used in guilds. But now that warriors have arrived who are much more capable of using defensive magic that doesn’t work, there is no need for money-consuming magicians!”
“No, what kind of logic is that? Wizards and warriors have completely different roles, Ornette. Of course, Lucene was the one who preemptively prevented the surprise attack, but just because of that alone, Lucene can’t replace you.”< Br﹥
“You’re lying!” You only praised the giant warrior and didn’t say a word to me!”
“Huh?”
The Demon King smiled, and the former Demon King snorted and sarcastically.
“You’re jealous, that thing.”
“You’re so loud! You don’t even know! What do you know? You’ve been kicked out!”
“Profit! That kid!?”
“Don’t fight, guys.”
The Demon King smiled and held out his hand.
“I cast an illusion spell on you back then, allowing you to use all your Demon Hunter skills! But no one said anything about it! Normally, I would have told you that you did a good job!”
Did I do that? Is that possible?
After briefly remembering, I snapped my fingers.
At that time, I was completely absorbed in planning a way to completely destroy the Drapener Guild and compete with the Montaigne Guild.
That’s why I didn’t say anything to Ornette.
I thought about making an excuse, but decided to quit.
There is no point in making excuses now.
“Now that I think about it, I really did. It was my fault, Ornette.”
Ornet glared at me with an expression of resentment all the way down to his head.
“I’m sorry, Ornette. I was too insensitive back then. And you did a good job.”
“It’s already too late.”
Ornet turned his head and responded coldly.
“Even if it’s late, it’s a good thing.”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
“If you hadn’t cast the illusion spell on me, no one knows what would have happened.”
Ornet closed his eyes tightly, as if he didn’t want to hear any more.
“It’s all thanks to you that I’m alive and well. Thank you.”
Then he stretched out his hand and stroked Ornette’s head.
When my hand touched him, Ornet flinched and turned his head to the side.
When I took his hand towards him, Ornette this time slapped my hand away and turned in the opposite direction.
“Ornette.”
“I hate it! I hate it!”
He stretched out his arms and hugged Ornette tightly to prevent her from running away.
Ornette, who was forcibly dragged in, suddenly burst into tears.
“aa!!”
Ornette hugged my waist as hard as she could, shedding tears like chicken shit.
The Demon King was still smiling, and the previous Demon King covered his ears, saying it was noisy.
“A delicious dish has been served. Oh my? Why are you crying?”
The harpy, who had brought in a series of plates filled with food along with small monsters, saw Ornette and opened his raptor-like round eyes
“She said she was upset because the guy she liked didn’t pay attention to her. It’s so ridiculous. Ugh!”
As Ornette cried and lifted his finger her, the snarky Sentai Demon King flew away and crashed into the wall.I thought as I stroked the head of Ornette, who was crying loudly in my arms.
I can’t believe I ran away all this far away from home because of a misunderstanding that could have been easily resolved through conversation.
I can’t tell if he’s timid or bold.
No matter how much he is a part of High Wizard Orleans, he is still a kid.
“Ahhhhh!
But did they at least use loudspeaker magic? It’s very noisy.
