Becoming a magician in another world

"Thank you"

Many people were coming in and out of the capital today. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Sam saw Zoe off.

Ur and the others were not here. It would be impolite to send Zoe back directly when she said she didn't need to be seen off, so Sam came to see her off on his behalf.

Jonathan tried to express his gratitude, but Zoe clearly refused. In front of the gate at the entrance of the Sky King's capital, Sam extended his right hand to Zoe.

"Hmph. You don't need to thank me. It was Lord Douglas's order. And the result was a failure." "Even so, I am still very grateful for your help. Of course, please thank Douglas as well." "Just convey it."

Finally, instead of holding Sam's hand, Zoe snored.

Although it gave me strength, we were not able to get along well, and I had to smile bitterly with regret.

"Hey"

"what"

"You are the follower of that Repsi, right?"

"That is how the matter?"

"Do you resent me?"

I think I should listen to it.

Although there has been hostility since the first encounter, it is understandable if she is a follower of Lepsi.

It took away the master's life. It was not forced.

Although there was Douglas' order, he assisted Sam, so he can only be grateful.

So I decided to confront her.

Failed to continue to liberate Leipsy.

I have no regrets for taking Lepsy’s life for the people Sam loved and for the people who live in this country.

It was difficult to understand each other in that situation, and there was no shortage of strength to talk to each other on an equal footing.

Sam had no choice but to fight.

Nevertheless, good choices were made.

But it's not like that for Zoe. Sam thinks that he wants to face Zoe and if there is a grudge, it should be accepted.

"No - I don't hold a grudge."

But, beyond that, Zoe's answer was different than what Sam expected.

"I am grateful for the peace you gave Mr. Lepsi. However, I cannot understand why you took Mr. Lepsi's life with your dwarf strength, so I am angry. Because you are weak, it is not okay to be questioned about Mr. Lepsi's strength."

"That guy is powerful. More than anyone I've fought so far." "You know that without you having to tell me."

Yeah, Sam nodded.

Sam had no idea of ​​Repsy's power in his heyday, nor of his full strength.

Sorry about that.

I wanted to meet Repsi in his prime when he was not dominated by anger, and thought of that kind of thing.

"Let me give you a piece of advice."

"Yes, I will listen."

"I am the original vampire and the Demon King's Vivian. Although I was awarded the title of knight by Mr. Claxtons, I was judged to have the power of a quasi-Demon King. I am confused by such a wasteful evaluation, but even so, I am still better than you.

powerful. "

"right"

"You didn't react to my actions at all. But that wasn't my full effort. Do you understand? You can't survive against us demons."

“I understand that level.”

Sam is no fool.

Needless to say, Zoe in front of him, Demon King Douglas and Demon King Evangelin cannot win even if they stand upside down in their current situation.

It's nonsense to say that the blow that knocked Repsi down was a blow.

You can't shamelessly imitate magic without knowing the meaning and cost of that power and count it as your own.

"Even if Lord Douglas is friendly to you, there are fools among the demons who would kill you who defeated Lord Repsi and take the blame for the demon king. The demon kings are watching, but there's no telling when they'll appear in front of you. At best, you just need to be mentally prepared."

“Thanks for your advice.”

"Hmph. At best, you'll just have to live in fear."

Zoe's advice is something Sam is also worried about.

Bringing down a famous being comes with risks.

Even if Lepsi cannot win, if it is Sam, it would not be surprising if a demon who thinks he can win appears. It is even more likely that the demons whose ambitions have been stagnant until now will be ignited.

If it were the Sam of the past, he might have smiled and said "coming soon" to the strong man who might appear.

But Sam doesn't think so now.

Sam has people to protect. He has people he loves. If he gets hurt by them, he will definitely...

"At best, don't be ashamed of the name of Master Lepsi, and become stronger. If you can become stronger, however."

After saying this, Zoe turned her back to Sam and began to walk in the hustle and bustle.

"So, goodbye."

“Ah, here we go again.”

She said goodbye and disappeared without a sound. Once again, Sam, who had no reaction to her actions, clenched his fists.

In order not to lose this precious existence, I will become stronger. That's what I swore.
