It seems too easy to "give up", and give up on the first fight.

but……

Yiel won't.

For Elle, she has been through too much. Under Will's hands, her young master always had some novel ideas and asked her to try them. After failure, she continued to improve. After improvement, she tried and trained many times, moving from quantitative changes to qualitative changes step by step.

She's used to it.

More importantly, she has no "adventurer's pride."

Yiel here is to challenge Yanlong again and again to prove that Will's mission can be completed and that she can become what Will wants.

"However, consider carefully and heal your injuries first - even if the young master is here, he will agree to this choice."

Iel looked at the map on the table of the Adventurers Association. She realized that the city was not far from the cabin where she lived.

She didn't like the cabin arranged for her by the System family. She still missed the old System family house where she and Will lived before, but it was in tatters after a cold winter. , no longer suitable for human habitation.

"Go back first. The medicine for treating burns at home is much better than the one here."

——It seems that the young master made it at that time.

——For example, ice cream made from the heart of the snow demon.

"Will, she did lose, just like you predicted...well, just like me, she didn't defeat her fateful opponent."

At the same time, inside the noisy Adventurers Association of Montedo Town, someone wearing a weird straw hat, tying up all his hair and hiding it in the straw hat, and covering half of his face with a black mask, was Talk to the "badge" on your hand.

The badge is the witch's badge. According to Liz, it is a new magic "digged" from the dungeon. It can communicate remotely within a range of about a hundred meters.

"It sounds like she lost miserably. It's just... uh... why am I the only one who looks so decadent after losing? Her mental condition seems to be okay, and she's even gearing up for the next attack."

"Zizi... Really? I think you were very motivated at that time. Hmm... As expected, you are all very dedicated to the mission I left behind."

What came from the badge was a somewhat distorted sound. In addition to the distortion, there was also some noise. Leah could only put her ears closer

"Are you still proud? Huh, you...if you hadn't faked your death, we wouldn't have indulged in your mission like this and missed you. In short, it's all your fault. Please reflect on it."

"To be honest, I didn't mean to predict it like this. Zizi... I quite hope she wins, but it's a pity... she met your ancestor."

"The noise from this crap is really too loud. Why don't you come in and talk to me in person instead of hiding outside the Adventurers Association."

"No. Yiel's nose is too sensitive. She will definitely be discovered in the same area of ​​the house. That way, meeting her would be missing..."

The person opposite the badge paused for a moment, and then spoke in a playful tone that could be heard by Leah on this side——

“It’s missing a hint of surprise~”

"That's true. We have prepared an absolutely surprising scene for her."

"Zizi...where is she going now? How likely is it to meet her in this city?"

"She wants to go home. I investigated before and found that her home is on the edge of a nearby town—oh, by the way, it's the house your family gave her. I don't know why, but the System family is actually very satisfied with her performance."

"The System family actually... doesn't treat their servants badly. The only one they treat differently... is me."

Even across the president, Leah could hear Will's somewhat sad atmosphere across from him.

The more she heard Will talking like this, the more Leah wanted to beat that damn Carver severely and put him on the fire until he was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and his skin and flesh were torn apart.

"I will help you get revenge. Even if that bastard doesn't die in my hands, I will spit on his body."

"Oh, I was just getting into the act. It seemed so successful that you started to feel miserable for me. But rather than being treated differently, I've always been more curious about the reasons behind it."

Will said it very naturally, with a smile in his tone. It was hard for Leah to tell whether he was trying to comfort her or if he really thought so.

but……

It doesn't matter anymore.

Leah believed one thing, now Will would no longer hide anything from her.

"...This kind of thing is really difficult to use. You can't see a person's expression. It's easy to misunderstand you just by using this kind of thing."

"Indeed. Let me see... let's meet in her town."

"Before that, um... I still have to practice well on how to perform the next one..."

"A character that she would definitely find miserable."

Chapter 397 He is really there (3k)

Setting off at noon, Yi'er returned to her home at dusk in the afternoon.

Dragging her suitcase, she walked slowly down the path wearing a new black maid outfit.

The bouquets of flowers she planted at home, the ones she planned to pick when they were in full bloom and place them in front of the young master's grave, now looked a little wilted because she had been out for too long and had not taken good care of them.

"I'm really sorry. As an all-powerful maid, I should find someone to help me take care of you..."

Yi'er put down the box, squatted down, and stroked the petals, feeling a little distressed.

However, it sounds a bit strange for a maid to hire other people to help her take care of the flowers.

Looking at the orange flowers blooming in front of her, which were very similar to the color of her hair, she reached out and carefully picked it off without caring about the thorns on its branches.

"Pick this one first and wear it on your chest..."

She didn't know why she did it.

Maybe it's because it has some similarities with myself.

When he goes to visit the young master's grave every year, he will be happy if he sees himself wearing similar flowers, right?

"The key... let me look for it. This is the key to System's house. This is the key to Capital's house. They are neither..."

She stood at the door, flipping through the keys that belonged to her home in her pocket, but these keys were buried among the ones that she had no use for a long time, but she felt that she should keep one, maybe when she could open the door she needed. in the key.

"Oh, is this the residence of Flame Dragon Slayer? It's really beautiful. The System family is really nice to you."

She suddenly heard a familiar and impatient voice coming from behind.

"This voice is..."

There was a "hot" smell coming from the tip of her nose, and even if it passed by the tip of her nose just a little bit, she felt as if her nasal cavity was on fire.

Her perception of smells was always a bit strange, but when she smelled something like this, she completely understood who was waiting behind her.

Yiel opened her eyes wide and turned around.

"Lea...Lea...?!"

Standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, holding her hands, was Leah, who was illuminated by the sun. Her dazzling red hair complemented the sun, and even seemed to merge with the sun.

It reminded Yi Aier of the ridiculously strong Flame Dragon he encountered in the dungeon today.

wrong……

How can there be a connection between the two? One is a flame dragon and the other is a witch. There is a big gap at least in terms of species.

"That's right. It's me."

Leah, who was leaning against the fence with her hands folded, stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards Yiel.

"...I didn't expect you to come to me. I thought that after the three of us separated, we would never see each other again."

"The person who is not here really thinks so. From that day on, she took great pleasure in being her queen. We only know about her through a few words in the newspapers."

Leah shook her head.

The two of them are indeed not related, but at least there is no "class" barrier. They both still regard themselves as "adventurers".

But Treya has completely abandoned her identity as an adventurer. She even holds the "Zero Castlevania" in her hand, and is more like an "empress".

"It's okay, you won't show up here."

Yiel was a little wary, but looking at Leah, she remembered her after the three of them conquered the dungeon that day——

She gritted her teeth and allowed her tears to flow down in large drops, but she still managed not to sob or wipe away her tears. She just held the staff like that and looked down at the ground.

At least……

At that time, they were unable to "reconcile" with each other and were each other's "love rivals", but they were also "teammates" who stood on a united front and experienced common sorrow.

"Leah, just tell me. What kind of trouble did you encounter and came to me for help? As long as I can help, I will do my best to help."

As soon as these words came out, Leah was blocked by what she was about to say.

"You...you, why are you so kind-hearted all of a sudden? In the past, you didn't even consider me a teacher, and you always used different ways to say that I was short, Yi'er."

Yiel discovered something that even a person like her who was not good at capturing other people's emotions would have discovered.

Leah seems to be much more "happy" now. She is no longer the Leah who couldn't stop her tears when she cried that day and had to clenched her fists to hold it back.

She seemed to have a "relaxation" released from deep inside, as if she had completely forgotten what she had experienced before.

"...Well, it seems like this. His death has made us...all change a little bit."

She sighed.

"So, what does Leah want from me?"

"Actually, it's not what I want to do. You are now the famous Flame Dragon Killer, so... there are many people who need you."

Leah spread her hands.

"You have a new employer who wants to hire you to kill the flame dragon that is dying of ashes."

Yiel's ears stood up when she heard it.

but……

She doesn't like the word "employment."

"I can accept cooperating with someone to kill the Flame Dragon, and each will get what he needs, but... I am not hired. At most, I am accepting a commission."

"...Is it because you think that only Will can be your 'employer', or...'master'?"

"You and I have gone through the same thing. I believe you will understand when I say this."

Leah raised the corners of her mouth slightly and showed a smile, but she quickly retracted her smile.

"Meet that person first, and then you can say such things."

"Um?"

"I'll take you to him in the coffee shop in this town."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although Yi Ai'er had moved here for a long time, she had never visited any place in the town except for daily necessities. It was only when she followed Leah that she discovered a coffee shop that looked quite peaceful.

The weather was very good today. The dazzling sunset shone on the flowerbed in front of the coffee shop and on its glass windows, reflecting the bright red of the sun.

"Here, go in, the person at the innermost window."

"You... don't want to follow? Why?"

"This is a surprise for you, of course I won't follow."

"......?"

Yi Ai'er felt that Leah was a little strange. Her secretive look made her feel that Leah was hiding something from her.

He was just a client, why did Leah hide his identity?

Moreover, Yi Ai'er could not think of the benefits of Leah hiding her identity from her.

But...

Yi Ai'er had a possibility in her mind.

She was different from before, no longer the Yi Ai'er who was easily deceived.

She and Leah's intersections could be counted with a few fingers without even using one hand.

After counting the people who could be contacted...

There was only that one person left...

She knocked on the small wooden door of the coffee shop. It was unusually deserted inside, and the wind chimes in front of the window were shaking in the wind.

Looking around, all the seats in the small coffee shop were empty, and there was no one else in sight.
