I Became the Snow Woman I Made

76 – Landfill (3)

After a conversation with the lord, we head out to the main street.

Citizens who found us from all directions flocked to us. Unlike before, the lord’s knights blocked them as if escorting them, but there was no need for that.

“I have heard the rumors of the kingdom! Mr. Quilière!”

“Thank you for visiting Glenver!”

They didn’t come close and only expressed their gratitude.

I could feel my gratitude for saving the city from the thrill of seeing them.

Citizens praised all of us as saviors.

“…Something feels strange.”

Nell muttered, who had been silent.

I asked with a doubt.

“Why?”

“Huh? No, it’s just… It seems like just yesterday that it was called the Red Disaster. It’s kind of strange.”

“Aha.”

She knew it by the look in her eyes.

Since she has been pursued for a long time, the feeling of becoming her savior must have been strange.

“I don’t know what will happen in the real world. It’s like meeting you, Quilière.”

“That’s right.”

But with the curse lifted, she could become anything. She gave a rough match, then spat it out and blew her brain out.

“How are you?”

“Huh?”

“Power depends on how you use it. If you use it right away, you’ll become a slayer. If you use it well, just like now…”

“…To become a savior?”

Nel took the lead.

She looked around her with her bewildered eyes, and I smiled bitterly.

“Not necessarily.”

I also wanted to decline grandiose titles.

Nell, who seems to be deeply moved by her, left her and stared into the void.

“······Continent South facing.”

Where Euristia is.

A place to stop by before going to the Empire.

Trying to mumble the next destination.

Then I glanced around.

Her colleagues were looking at me with different expressions.

“Mishra.”

When I called one of them by name, she startled.

An uneasy voice came back as if he had intuition.

“No way… No way again…”

“Yes.”

Silver hair that flutters like a cicada’s wings.

I gave the confirmation by nodding.

“We have to go fast.”

“That, over there…”

“There is no time to delay.”

In a word, it means to be a means of transportation.

I’m sorry, but the difference in efficiency was overwhelming, so I couldn’t help it.

When she got flustered, the kids around her started to help.

“Hey, lizard! There’s no time.”

“My vassal, change quickly.”

“It’s easy to move because there’s a dragon nearby. Only speed is better than Urbos.”

It wasn’t Mishra, to be exact, but me.

Surprisingly, none of them are considerate.

“That… Dragon sister! Cheer up! And ask for it!”

“·······.”

No, there was only one good voice.

Paley was definitely an innocent girl.

Mishra, who had been staring at them blankly, turned to me.

“I understand.”

A voice that seemed to have given up and even became clear.

Immediately after, she raised her head.

Quaaa!

The white silver dragon king revealed his arrogant figure.

A gigantic body worthy of its prestige.

Even though they had already seen it, the knights and citizens were shocked once again.

But we stayed calm.

“Get down quickly. It’s hard to ride.”

It was the insolence created by familiarity.

Mishra turned around at Nell’s point, which was like a specimen.

[······· Kreuk.]

A somewhat dissatisfied gaze.

However, she let out an extremely brave cry and lowered her posture.

***

City-state Euristia.

The city, which harbors the sorrow of being ruled by the snake god, has made remarkable progress over the past decade thanks to Toho’s efforts. A strong defense system was built, and even if the snake god invaded again, it could be blocked without much damage.

──But.

No one expected that such a large number would come at once.

The torrent of monster flooding quickly swept through the south as well,

“Kyaaagh!”

Citizens screamed and ran away.

Unfortunately, it was the snake god who was chasing them.

aaa!

The irony of fate.

The city guards and Krasse’s secret sword prevented the mutated gods of all kinds, not black as before.

“Damn it… It’s so sudden. I’m not prepared for anything.”

Sorap, the commander of the Assassination Squad, struggled as he vomited. His aged face hardened and his eyes deepened.

The fast sword technique, which was trained to only cut off the breath of the target, also continued to develop.

Chow!

Kieheek——!

“I won’t let you do what you want. You won’t be able to lay a finger on the lord.”

Sorap clashes head-on with the monster.

The secret sword he led grew and several subunits were merged.

“Sigira!”

“Yes, Commander-in-Chief! Leave this to me!”

One of them is the Shadow Unit.

The performance of Shigira, who led him, was also outstanding.

After answering vigorously, she fought a fierce battle with the snake god along with her men.

However, it was not enough.

The difference in strength was obvious.

Qrrr!

Buildings are destroyed, roads are overturned, and shopping malls are smashed.

Windows were broken and torn flags fluttered.

Darkness fell over people’s hearts.

······There was a woman watching all of that.

“·······.”

A few steps away, but from a place where you can clearly see the street.

Toho Lassithea Crasse stood blankly.

The situation was too sudden to make a cold-hearted judgment as usual.

“·······Ah.”

The sound leaking out without my knowledge.

My head was pounding with confusion, and my eyes were dizzy. Why this happened

He must have been fine until yesterday…

“·······Ah. Certainly in the past.”

This is what I complained about.

That is, more than ten years ago, when the pitch-black snake god invaded.

Suddenly, such a thought came to me.

But then and now, there is no high-dimensional existence to listen to complaints.

What did you do at a time like this?

“I was preoccupied with finding a way out. Composing schemes, gathering vassals, meeting important people…”

In the end, I realized that there was no way out and fell into despair.

Lasithea’s head lowered gradually.

The flow is the same this time as well.

As an adult, she was no longer a helpless girl. However, there was nothing she could do.

“·······.”

A natural disaster that ignores human will was like that.

What will happen now? Frustrated, she continues to think somehow, as is a habit.

“If we can’t drive out the snake god, it will be the end. Just like that time.”

It was a very self-evident fact.

But how can I get rid of her? There is no other way like back then.

“I thought I finally found stability. Maybe I was complacent…”

Since making the Krasse family the losers of Euristia, he hasn’t rested even for a moment.

She worked so hard, but the price was just like this.

“Huh…”

I inadvertently bit my lip.

At that moment when I was chewing on despair, a roar rang out.

Gooooo——!

A gale of ice hits you before you even raise your head.

The snake god, who had been fighting with Sohrab in the distance, was swept away and complained of pain.

“!”

A mysterious anomaly.

Surprised, Lash Thea hurriedly looked up above her.

There was even greater astonishment in her widened eyes.

“······!”

The first thing I saw was the unforgettable bluish-white hair.

Then the ice-cold expression and well-groomed beauty caught my eyes.

She was there.

“That person is…!”

A mysterious beauty who appeared leisurely a long time ago and killed the snake god.

Quilière guesses that Lasithea is a goddess.

She looked down at the ground with a face not much different from that of ten years ago.

“·······.”

Even the crystal blue eyes were the same.

·······.

Mishura, who had been abhorred, was absorbed in her flight as soon as she departed. With graceful gestures, she raced the sky, and a strong wind beat against her face.

Nonetheless, her comfortable ride deserves to be called the best ride.

It doesn’t mean that I didn’t polish it just to ride it.

“Go south.”

Southern Euristia.

It is not a place without ties, and it was one of the three countries that were the protagonists of the Four Seasons War.

I couldn’t let it collapse like this.

Mishra faithfully carried out my instructions.

Wedge love liquid—!

Sharp plosive sound.

I added one more word there.

This time it was addressed to everyone including Mishra.

“I’m going to take care of it whenever I see mischief as I go.”

“Huh? Why?”

“They keep spreading demonic energy as long as they’re alive. Don’t let them install them.”

Colleagues quickly convinced.

So, like exterminators, we ran to the south, dealing with miscreants whenever we saw them.

The appearance of Euristia, who arrived soon after, was nothing short of catastrophic.

“…It’s a mess.”

“Yeah. It’s just as Carlaine said.”

As I listened to the lord’s words, the scene I was worried about was unfolding.

It seems that he was caught in a direct hit from the flood of monsters.

However, there were some familiar guys.

Black snakes stick out their evil tongues. I blinked my eyes in strange wonder.

“Are there any coincidences like this?”

All in all, he’s a snake god again.

Does this city have a bad relationship with snakes?

Anyway, I had to move slowly.

“Suppress it.”

Cold recitation.

Short instructions, but the answers were not.

“Okay!”

“Leave it to me! My belief Duwade-“

“It’s loud and it goes down fast.”

Allies who responded vigorously mobilized in good shape.

And it attacked the snake gods who were dumbfounded while looking at the sky. The development after that was not much different from the time of Glenver.

─────!

Mishra fired a breath, and Nell, Duwade, and Chandrafail fought bloody battles on the ground.

Paley got safely behind me.

My role here was to be in charge of magic support.

“Hmm…”

I looked down and looked for a suitable target, and I soon found it.

Aiming for a vital point.

As if playing an FPS game, aim the ice spear and pierce the snake’s forehead.

Hwaaak─

I added a halo around that point.

There was no need to refuse if the treatment changed with just one of these. Albeit a bit excessive.

Did I gain enlightenment just by experiencing it once?

The development up to this point was as quick and natural as flowing water.

“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

I asked with a little pride.

The answer came from behind.

“Yes? Yes! I think so. I like it because it’s less scary than before!”

“Yes.”

Paley’s hand holding my collar was trembling slightly.

It’s a much weaker vibration than before.

There was a moment when she looked at her for a moment and then turned her gaze in all directions.

Something caught.

“Oh.”

A person who wears fancy clothes as if to indicate his status.

An alluring beauty with ebony-like black hair was looking up.

Like everyone else, it was a devastated look.

I tilted my head for a moment, but I soon succeeded in recognizing who it was.

“…Lassithea.”

It’s been a while.

Looking at her, she felt the passage of time again.

She used to be just a fledgling little girl, but now she’s an adult to anyone’s eyes.

“You’ve grown up a lot. You’ve matured quite a bit.”

After that brief impression, I looked away.

She took her attention away from her and focused on her fire support.

In the first place, she was just that much of an impression on me.

But was it different for her?

Within a short time, after the situation was almost settled, Lasitea approached me as she approached the ground.

“That! Go ahead… Mr. Quilière.”

I was going to pick up the kids and leave right away, but I turned my head for now.

She bowed with a cautious expression.

“Why?”

“······You’ve been helped again. Thank you for bowing your head.”

Exceptional courtesy.

Even the gesture of lowering oneself showed a sense of dignity.

My answer was just nonchalant.

“Yes.”

Anyway, ‘Quillier-sama’ and ‘Tto’ are like that, don’t you remember me too closely?

Is your memory better than you thought?

“I never expected to see you again.”

“…Me too. That day, you left Euristia after killing the snake god.”

As if recalling old memories, Lassithea’s pupils overflowed. I decided to deal with it once.

“I did.”

“I thought he had gone to a land where humans couldn’t live…”

He looks at me as if asking if it’s true.

I affirmed with a nod of my head, and a voice filled with emotion continued.

“To come to us at a moment of crisis like that time… With the thought of saving us from the beginning-“

“No.”

The story was about to fall into three thousand fours again, so I took out a single knife.

“I just stopped by on the way.”

“… Huh? Way to go?”

“Yeah. Don’t get me wrong.”

It’s true that I helped, but it was also true that I didn’t think much of it.

I kept talking.

“I’m thinking of going to the Empire.”

“The Empire… It must be a complete mess right now.”

“That’s why we’re going. We need to keep track of the imperial army’s march toward the landfill.”

“······Ah!”

There’s no way she doesn’t know, even though she’s the head of her household, so she brings up things she knows.

She also opened her eyes wide, and that was an understandable reaction.

“·······.”

Followed by shutting both of her mouths in her agony.

It seemed like there was still more to be said, but at this point, I had finished all the tidbits.

All of a sudden, everyone gathered around Mishra.

“Then good work.”

I spit out and turned around.

Rashi Thea was startled and stretched out her hand,

“Ah! Wait a minute! Mr. Quilière-“

Pudder the duck—!

A flurry of wings broke her voice.

We have a long way to go.

Climbing on the back, we ran quickly without looking back.

·······.

······Quillier left for the Empire with her personal guard.

Thanks to her, the city was out of danger, but it would take some time for it to enter a period of stability as it was already in an uproar.

However, it is expected that the recovery will be quicker than other cities because it is Euristia, which has experienced a similar crisis once.

“Stop procrastinating! Hurry up and move!”

“Yes! Captain!”

Around the time when each of them worked together to prepare a foothold for recovery, such as transporting the injured and clearing the wreckage.

Tohorashi Thea also returned to the office of her mansion and thought.

“Mr. Quilière…”

The subject was, of course, the woman he saw during the day.

Lassi Thea, who was impressed by Quilière’s words and deeds and thoroughly investigated her.

She heard the rumors that she, too, was presumed to belong to Quilière, who was also the goddess of rumors.

Today’s situation broke out while I was thinking about sending someone, but anyway.

“He is heading to the Empire…”

She sensed something.

It was a huge flow.

Judging from the rumors, it was easy to guess that Quilière and the enemy of the world were in conflict.

Black Calamity.

Recalling that diabolical existence, Lasithea opened the locker.

“The emperor’s personal letter.”

What I took out was a letter from Rank Zero.

About the meeting and the conquest of the landfill, handed over by an imperial envoy who recently visited the city.

It contained a question for all continents whether they would join the cause.

She hadn’t decided yet.

Until just now.

“Inundation of monsters that must have been catastrophic… To head to the Empire at this point. I’m sure your goal is the same.”

It couldn’t have been.

Because there was no other reason.

Rashi Thea wrapped her personal letter carefully, then sat down in her office chair and picked up her quill.

“I can’t wipe my mouth with help twice.”

Now that he has shed his old skin.

She had to raise a hand for herself and her continent. Lasithea’s white wrist moves,

Crunchy Square─

Her family’s seal was engraved on her personal letter.

***

Islands night.

There was always a place where the fire was not extinguished in a place that was bright even at night due to the turmoil and turmoil that raged every day.

That is the Agnarz Lab.

Regarding that phenomenon, some say that research continues even in times of war… And that is half correct.

Because the military periodically came and received the procured magical engineering equipment.

In any case, war brings progress, and that’s why the prestige of a researcher became stronger at times like this.

However, it was not a perfect answer.

Crunchy Square─

Deep inside the lab, a private lab.

In the quiet place, only the sound of handwriting was filled.

“·······.”

The culprit was the theologian Agnatsu.

After several nights, he was engrossed in recording with eyes full of dark circles.

“Appearance and activity 10 years ago… And now, 10 years later. Recent events…”

He mumbles like a madman and constantly shakes his hands. For several tens of minutes, the movement of the hands had not stopped.

The tension that wrapped around his whole body was the same as the first time.

“First defeat of disaster, defense against the dead, search and annihilation of the elder lich…”

Each one is a great achievement that ordinary people cannot accomplish in their lifetime. Agnatsu looked at the paper on which the achievement was written with bloodshot eyes.

A story of a woman.

Qulière’s actions have been vividly revived on paper.

“It’s not only that. An ancient being who is the goddess’s servant… Perhaps the Silver Dragon King Pankaji Mishra.”

A goddess who preached on the terrace of the Great Temple.

The dragon met her and took her away.

People just call it a dragon and don’t know exactly what it is, but as a theologian he succeeded in making a reasonable guess.

“This is a rod of the white dragon tribe that remains in ancient documents and is said to have served the god of winter in ancient times. Is she still serving her master…?”

It was a surprise.

However, the old scholar’s thinking does not stop there, but expands without hesitation.

He didn’t care about his own dark complexion.

“And the current situation. It is called the flood of monsters, but… They are false gods.”

These were failures that he named himself a long time ago.

It is a failure because it is a mutation that was caused by not being able to accept the power of the source, the divine power.

Or you could call it Chimera, it didn’t matter.

“Currently, the consensus is that the black catastrophe was determined to annihilate the continent. Because of that, the outrageous landfill conquest plan passed relatively easily.”

The fear of destruction made me overcome the fear that had been sitting for a long time.

But Agnatsu had a different idea.

Not narrow-minded thinking eroded by fear, but with a macroscopic perspective.

“Disasters are never stupid. On the contrary, they are very clever. That’s why they have been able to scatter countless disasters.”

But isn’t the current situation quite strange?

Mainly the movements of the monsters that overturned the continent.

The feeling that the monsters were wandering was strong to invade the continent.

It is not judged that there are clear orders and goals. At least that’s how he felt.

“Isn’t it just like invading the place where humans live?”

Unbeknownst to cunning and catastrophic behavior so far.

Based on this, Agnatsu was able to assemble a new hypothesis.

Square······.

In an instant, the flamboyant hand movements stood firm.

The quill, which was dancing like crazy, also stopped.

It was the fault of the flash that hit his brain.

Yes, the current situation is not based on an elaborate ruse. The general opinion is that it is a counterattack against the affairs of the Church, but this is rather—

“······Isn’t it close to an outburst?”

Not a counterattack, but an outburst.

In a word, the hypothesis that disaster fears the goddess.

Just when he was about to say something very plausible, all of a sudden.

Took- Toduk-

Blood flowed.

Red blood soaking through the top.

It was a nosebleed.

“Oops… It’s time to take a break.”

It was too much work.

At the signal the body gave, Agnatsu put down the pen.

Then I got up and stretched.

Finally, the documents were organized and stored in the strictest place. So no one can steal it.
