Becoming a magician in another world

"So, magicians are different, right?"

"How is Lady Catherine?"

"Yeah. I don't feel any discomfort at all."

Sam also peered out the window from behind Mizuki, not that the view had changed much.

It's not that the sky is purple, or that the forest is covered in lush, dark, creepy clouds.

However, compared to the east side of the continent, there is more magic power.

For Mizuki, who was not a magician, the touch seemed slightly different, but for Sam, the thick concentration of magic was very comfortable.

"Hey! Sam! Look at that!"

Mizuki noticed something and pointed loudly.

Sam gasped as he looked in the direction she was pointing.

"--what is that?"

A huge crack appeared on the ground in the direction of the carriage's movement.

It was like a straight crack that extended vertically to nowhere, with no idea of ​​its depth.

It's just a huge valley.

But somehow, in Sam's eyes, he understood that the crack in front of him was not natural, but man-made.

"Ah, most people would be surprised to see that."

"What is that? It's not natural, is it?"

"Ah, that was done by Master Lepsi's blow."

"--What?"

I couldn't understand what Zoe meant.

It's not just Sam.

Mizuki, and even Catherine, turned around and looked at Zoe stiffly.

"Before the battle with the hero, there was a large human country nearby, but it was destroyed by Lord Lepsi. That is what is left."

"...That's hilarious. What kind of trouble would be brought to this point?"

"In addition to his family, Lord Repsi also has many servants. The kindhearted Repsi protected those who had nowhere to go, gave them shelter, food, and work. Humans are very grateful. However, some people are very grateful to those who were saved by Lord Repsi.

People don't take it seriously. That's the country. They foolishly boasted about purging Lord Lepsi and his men, but they all got their revenge. It happens all the time."

"Well, is it okay for us to meet more often?"

To Mizuki who had a tense face, Zoe said calmly, as if it was nothing.

"In the past - in the era before the founding of the Sky Kingdom, there were many demons and humans living on the west side of the continent, and there were many disputes. Especially humans, although they forgot their names, they believed in gods, and the demons' evil thoughts spread. However, that religion no longer exists."

"Peaceful, then?"

"Peace is impossible. There are still many human countries. Although there are countries that have entered the protection of the Demon King, there are also countries with unknown meanings such as taking back land from the demons. They can only fight."

"It's not controlled by the Demon King, right?"

"In fact, it can be said that the western side of the continent is ruled by the demon kings, but it's not just the people who disapprove, the demons also have their counterparts."

Zoe shrugged, but Sam, Mizuki, and Katherine didn't know how to react.

Even someone with overwhelming power like the Demon King did not fight. If this is not possible, how long will humans, no, living things, fight?

(——Even so, Lepsi actually has the power to tear the earth apart. How many times stronger than my skill?)

Perhaps, Lepsi, who was fighting in the basement of the palace, cut corners because he wanted to die.

If he could tear the earth apart, he could easily kill himself on the spot even without the power of his prime.

(Toi, even if we don't kill Lepsi, who has such great power, the heroes of the Sky Kingdom who defeated and sealed it are quite powerful, right?)

I don't know what kind of power the hero possesses, but at least he has power comparable to that of a demon king.

No, perhaps, even a very powerful and kind-hearted demon king might be defeated on his own initiative out of hatred and stop rampaging.

"Um, Zoe."

"what?"

"Repsi, maybe... No, nothing."

After I passed away, there was nothing I could do even if I said hypothetical things, so I just kept quiet.

Zoe showed a slightly gentler expression to Sam. "Lord Lepsi always looks miserable. Every time he devotes himself to revenge and ravages humans, he cries in his heart. But now he feels at ease. That's all."

“…I see.”

Zoe said nothing to Lepsi afterwards. Meanwhile, the carriage moved forward, running over the cracks in the earth.

"Come on, let's fly from here. We're still a few hours away from Lady Vivian's Kingdom of Night."

Zoe's words made Sam and the others nervous.

Already entered the territory of the demons.

I feel uneasy when I think about what kind of encounters and events I will have in the future. ——It’s more exciting than that.

Sam was restless and had higher expectations than this, looking forward to meeting the Demon King.
