chapter 37
37 – Mage Millia (3)
Wizard Millia (3)
The idiot and the idiot, who each thought their acting was perfect, finally arrived at Glachies Magic Tower.
“Isn’t it as cold as you expected?”
Esmeralda said with a confused expression. It was winter-like weather just because she was already near the mage tower.
However, when she arrived at the Glaci S Magic Tower, where water, freezing, and stillness are studied, it was not as much as she thought.
“If the temperature is not raised normally, the lower ones will all freeze to death when I do research.”
Glisha shrugged her shoulders as if she was no big deal.
In other words, if she uses her magic in earnest, she can freeze all the wizards who use the same type of magic.
“Aha.”
As expected, lunatics are right!
Esmeralda nodded her head as if a long-standing mystery had been resolved.
Her credibility increased when she saw statues in the form of people frozen everywhere.
As Esmeralda looked around, she saw a person approaching her.
There were a lot of people, but since everyone was keeping their distance because they were paying attention to Glisha, the lord of the mage tower, that one person’s presence was unrivaled.
No, that is probably not the only reason why their presence is unrivaled.
“Hello, Esmeralda. And hello to Irina and Jim. Nice to meet you.”
A woman with short brown hair.
She wore an unconventional outfit, an evening dress with a lot of exposure instead of the usual flat-topped robe.
Yeah, she couldn’t help but be overwhelmed.
Because of the two magic pockets that even a woman can’t help but look at.
“It suits you well. Millia.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Then, what about the baggage overflowing with s*xual desire lately?
He praised her Milia casually, but he didn’t know that her eyes would fall off her chest.
At this point, she’s staring at you with an obnoxiously explicit look.
However, the opponent is Millia. She had no objection to Jim’s blatant s*xual harassment.
No, rather…….
“Would you like to touch it if it bothers you?”
“Yes!”
“No!”
Jim reached out with an immediate answer, but Irina intercepted it midway.
For some reason, it looks like it’s wearing a pod.
When her Jim did not give in and tried to reach out her other hand, Irina smiled as it was and slammed her holy power into the palm of her Jim.
“Keee
“This must have washed away some of the dirt. It’s a good thing.”
Irina said with a grin.
When Esmeralda handed over her luggage to Irina, she felt as if she had foreseen the outcome.
‘It might be better to hand it over to Millia.’
The best of her own.
As for Jim’s treatment after work, I can’t say anything for sure. Couldn’t she risk her life to protect her luggage?
After she defeats her demon lord, she will retire and return to her country.
Because living there while plowing the fields seemed like it would be much more convenient than taking care of things and honor.
In that sense, when her journey is over, all she can do is leave her luggage with someone she trusts.
Because there is a high probability that the demon lord’s army won’t accept him since he decided to take him until he fought the demon lord.
‘Or would it be better to stand out with this bastard as the Demon King?’
Esmeralda is not thinking of killing all her demons.
Her goal is the Demon King.
The reason why the hero was born in the first place is because of the demon king, so it’s no big deal.
So if I could only defeat the demon king, I would do it.
After that? She doesn’t even know what the country of demons will be like.
The scope of what she can do is too narrow for her to think and act in the first place.
Yes, it wouldn’t be bad to force Jim into the position of the Demon King at this point. Well, if it’s an assassination threat, you’ll have to figure it out yourself, but…….
“Milia. Please be careful. Jim now has a disease that is not good if he rushes into contact with another woman.”
“Really? What is it?”
“That… ….”
“Isn’t there such a disease?”
“Whoops.”
At least I’d be happier than being placed between those two.
Esmeralda was so sure.

Lilith had been away for the latest trends on the front lines and planning a strategy to match them, but she was just about to return to her own office.
“Haa… …. So, what kind of mess is this?”
However, upon arriving at her office, all I saw was a mess of papers.
Looking at the lieutenant’s pale complexion there, it seemed that this was not an ordinary occurrence.
Lilith brushed off her lieutenant, showing her blatant displeasure.
“That, that… ….”
“I won’t scold you, so please speak comfortably. Is there a problem?”
After hearing her story, Lilith expressed her sense of intimidation while hiding the idea that she would immediately demote her.
“…… She was visited by the Commander of the Five Corps, and she rummaged through the Lieutenant General’s desk at will.”
“Five corps commander? Were you thinking of protesting against this incident?”
“I don’t know. He just said that if I tried to dry myself, everything would burn up and disappear…….”
“I see. Understand. Then, would you like to prepare a cup of coffee for a while? I guess I’ll have to check what Commander Five found here.”
Lilith put aside the idea of demoting her lieutenant for now.
If he is a corps commander, he has the same rank as himself, but in reality he is more like a superior.
She was also comfortable thinking that since Lilith had three stars for her parachute in the first place, she was equal to her and all of her ranks were higher than hers.
“Hmm, I guess you looked through the papers about Mr. Jim… ….”
Corps Commander Five said that he had neither established nor authorized such an operation to infiltrate the warriors’ party.
Of course, the threat level of the warrior party at the time was a bit low for her to care. However, the problem was that such an operation was carried out without even being reviewed by Five. It is said that she forged the seal of her superior.
“This side has been quite busy too… ….”
Lilith thought about what the purpose of the five corps commander was.
Maybe one of the two.
She goes to find Jim who is doing this operation.
Or, try to find traces of the person who carried out this operation.
‘Extra lieutenant colonel… ….’
The field-level executive who forcibly carried out this operation. And killed by a hero in a volunteer mission to retrieve Jim.
‘Are you really dead?’
Like a minor role in a play.
The current situation where he disappeared so easily and no one cares about his death.
Lilith felt uneasy.
“Lieutenant General, coffee… ….”
“I will go out for a while. In the meantime, please organize the incoming papers and sort them on the desk.”
“Oh yes!”
Lilith left the room without even touching the coffee her lieutenant brought her.
The more involved she is with her luggage, the more something alien to her remains inside her.
Then I have no choice but to check.
‘First, I’ll have to go to the place where the extra lieutenant colonel was murdered.’
The corps commander, Five is likely to be there.
***
I open my eyes with a thrilling sensation.
“uuu!”
I remember moving her hand towards Milia’s chest as if possessed by something, but the memory immediately after that is hazy.
Did I have dementia?
Why do I feel like there are holes in my memory lately?
“Oh, Mr. Jim. Are you okay?”
“Oh, that’s fine.”
While I was feeling the tingling sensation in my palms, I drank the water someone gave me.
When I drank it, it wasn’t water. Still, the refreshing feeling was fine, so I inhaled it.
After quenching my throat like that, I saw the figure of the saintess, Irina.
“This is delicious. Is it carbonated water?”
“I thought I was sick, so I drank some holy water.”
“Aha?”
Somehow, it had a pungent taste.
It must have been a taste that made my esophagus vomit.
Still, it didn’t bother me that much, maybe because it was a little bit.
Maybe it’s because stimulating and unhealthy food is delicious.
“How is it? Do you feel that the dirt inside is being washed away a little?”
“Oh, yes. Yes.”
“I will ride often from now on. Until all the dirt in your body is gone.”
“… ….”
Irina smiles softly.
It was a neat and beautiful smile as always, but it was still uneasy.
“Jim, are you feeling better?”
“Ah, Millia-sama was there too. No, there is also a warrior. I don’t know what to do with everyone worrying about me like this. It couldn’t have been better if that worry was a little too much and led to the conclusion that I couldn’t accompany him on the journey ahead.”
“If I don’t have luggage, I can’t because I have no one to read with me.”
“Right, Mr. Jim. Colleagues are precious. Will we continue to be together? Until I kill the Demon King.”
“hahahaha… ….”
It’s like these savages.
Why don’t you solve it through dialogue?
I also want to meet the demon king myself, but why do humans all call demons enemies?
Honestly, when I look at them as I don’t belong anywhere, there’s not much difference between the two.
“Jim.”
“Oh, yes. Milia. I didn’t think anything of it.”
Really.
You guys didn’t swear.
The thief made an excuse as if he were going to give up, but judging from Millia’s expression, it seemed that he was worried about me.
She said with an expressionless face.
“Tell me if you are having a hard time.”
“It’s okay.”
“I’ll let you touch your chest.”
“I am having a hard time.”
There really was too much going on.
