39 Captive Ligena (2/2)

I've heard that Kuna-sama's magic has made him like this.

I don't know why Kuna-sama attacked Parsis.

What happened?

But what bothers me more is the way he looks at me. He's been watching me since the moment he entered this room.

For some reason, when he looks at me with those eyes, a shiver runs down my spine.

Looking back, I feel like he's been looking at me the whole time I've been in Algoa. I had been avoiding him for a long time because I hated those eyes.

He's an amazingly beautiful man, but for some reason I didn't want to get close to him.

My eyes meet with Parsis.

Our eyes meet, and he laughs.

When I saw that smile, for some reason it gave me a chill.

Syrone, the Maiden of Swords

How did you do, Mr. Kaya?

I ask Kaya-san.

She had been in contact with Chiyuki-san earlier through communication magic.

We are in the room we were prepared for after finishing our conversation with Regena. In the next room, Regena is asleep. She has gone wild and Kaya has put her to sleep.

She wanted to go back to Kroki's place, but we couldn't let her leave because she was an important source of information. I feel a little sorry for her.

If I use the stone she had that was filled with transference magic, I can easily get to Kuroki's place. I was about to use it, but Kaya took it away from me. She said she can't let us do such a dangerous thing when we don't know the situation on the other side yet.

'Apparently it's going to be difficult to meet up: ......

Kaya says as she finishes speaking, touching the bracelet on her left hand.

The bracelet contains communication magic.

The communication magic is a bit of a tricky spell, and only those who can use communication magic with each other can talk to each other.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who can use the magic of communication properly. But if you use a magic tool, you can talk to them without any problems.

It's a good idea to have the same magic in the bracelet that Reina gave you, even if you can't use communication magic, because of the power of the bracelet.

We were given this bracelet by Chiyuki-san when we were separated from Reigi-kun. We are supposed to use this to contact you if something happens.

”What's going on over there, Kaya?

Kyouka asks Kaya.

'Apparently the request from the Magician's Association is quite a tricky thing, and it's not going to end any time soon.

Kaya bows to Kyouka.

''So does that mean that Rage and the others haven't returned to St. Renaria yet?

'I see that, Lady Syrone. I understand she is now in the Republic of Ariadina.

'The Republic of Ariadina?　Where are you located, Kaya?

'It is a country south of the Minon Plain, on the eastern and western borders of the continent, my lady. I hear it's a pretty big country with a thriving commerce.

Then it's pretty hard to get there: ......

You can travel quickly to St. Renaria with transition magic. But if you want to go to that Ariadina Republic, it will take a lot of time.

”So... What shall we do now? There is a possibility that Kuroki-sama will come to get her back. We can't deal with him on our own as long as we can't meet up with Rage-sama and the others.

Kaya asks us.

Kaya is right, Kroki is strong. He's so strong that he needs all of us to play against him to win. But I had no intention of going back.

'Of course, I'm going to keep going to Argoa. If Kroki's coming, it's rather convenient.

But it would still have to go.

Kaya sighs when she hears that.

''Haha, I guess that's still the case ....... But if you decide it's too dangerous, please don't force yourself to retreat.''

Yeah, I'll keep that promise.

People care about me. And I can't risk them both on my account. So I can't do it.

But I was able to meet Kroki as soon as I arrived. I'm sure they're still connected. I believe in that, and I'm going to keep going.

Goblin Prince Goz.

There are naked females lying in front of me.

Some of them are ill-equipped and some are quite beautiful.

But they're not as good as the hero's sisters or Regina.

But let's bear with this for now.

After finishing the interrogation of Regena, she was taken away by the hero's sisters.

Poor Omiros, hated by Rijena, couldn't talk to her and shrugged and went back to his lodge.

I had just finished embracing a female who had invited some of the females who had followed me to the ball to calm my lower body, which was tingling from being drugged, and I had invited some of the females who had visited the ball to join me.

The females will be happy to be held by the attractive Parsis.

But the tingling in their own lower bodies won't subside.

The effects of the potion that that abominable silver witch gave you won't go away.

A scalpel of this level is not enough to cure this tingling.

This pain needs to be calmed by Regina. ......

I start to laugh.

I found my own female that I thought was gone.

Ligeena had been trapped by that silvery white witch.

I don't know much about that silvery white witch. Because I didn't have much interest in Nargol's affairs.

First of all, there are many monsters in Nargol that are much stronger than me.

So I didn't want to get too close to them, so I don't know much about Nargol.

So I didn't know that there was such a beautiful witch.

According to Ligeena's story, she's the princess of the Demon King.

It's hard to believe that that ugly demon king would have such a beautiful princess born, but she looks like the demon king's queen that I saw in a magical video before, so it must be so.

Honestly, I'm glad she doesn't look like the Demon King.

And he's the master of the dark knight who defeated the brave man.

And I don't know why, but he came to the Veros Kingdom with Regina.

I myself had been immobilized during the ball.

And after I was able to move, I was summoned to the king's office because it had something to do with Argoa.

And then I met Regena again.

Somehow, it seems that she was captured by the hero's sisters.

Well, since Nargol is the enemy of those females, it's only natural that they would capture Regena, who was brought to them by the White Silver Witch and her servant, the Dark Knight. And fortunately, he doesn't seem to have any intention of killing Regena.

The opportunity to get Regena again came around.

After all, it seemed that he and Regena were bound together by fate.

I felt like praying to Casa, the goddess of fate.

This time, I won't miss it.

I won't give it to the brave man or the white silver witch.

For that, Kyouka and the others would be in the way first.

So I had to think about it.

Dark Knight Kroki.

Regena's in captivity?

In the morning, he received a report that Regena had been captured in her own mansion in Nargol.

That was reported by a member of Regena's clan who had gone with Regena to Velos.

She was apparently on her way to Algoa in the morning with Silone and the others.

She apparently saw Regena being taken away in a carriage. Then she hurried back to say that she was in trouble.

And one of Regena's few clansmen has been begging her to help Regena.

'Please, please help Princess-sama: ......'

She reports back and asks herself to help Regena. As I recall, she was Regena's old lady. I remember taking her to Velos with Regena.

Apparently she didn't sneak into the ballroom like Regena did, she was in the city of Velos.

'If you go to Argoa, the princess may be killed ....... Or you may be met with terrible things ....... Please, sir, please save the princess.

Rigena's old lady is on the verge of tears. Lizena's family is screaming, too.

'It's okay. Rigena won't be killed or treated badly so easily.

All of them look surprised when they hear their own words.

'How do you know that ......?'

I say that to reassure the old lady in Ligeena. This is not a lie.

'It's a brave fellow who captured him, isn't it ....... Then you'll be fine. At least Shirone won't sit back and watch you do something to hurt a frail girl. If anyone tries to do that, Sirone will do his best to stop them. You can bet your bottom dollar that he will.

Because she's a justice of the peace. She's the one who helps the princess. She would never let a weak girl go through a terrible time.

So it's not going to be terrible for Regina.

I assure myself.

Then I suddenly look at Kuna's face.

Kuna's face is puffy.

'Kroki knows a lot about this woman called Shirone or something: ......

Coona seemed unhappy for some reason.

'What's wrong, Coona?'

It's nothing, Kroki!

I told him it was nothing, but his tone was angry.

'Humph!'

With a pout, Cuna turns to the side. Then she walks out of this room, looking unhappy.

What the hell is this?

Are you sure it's okay?

The old woman in Rižena asks me.

'Of course. Besides, we're going to help Regena now. You guys don't have to worry about anything.

Ha. ...... Yes.

Rigena's family says so and bows their heads. And then they walk out of this room. And I am left alone in this room.

I look around. When I see that no one is here, I hold my head up.

'This is bad ....... This is very bad ......'

I didn't expect Regena to be caught. It's like that with my head in my hands. I can't let anyone see me like this.

”Ugh. ....... It's not good. It's definitely not good, this .......

He rolled around on the carpeted floor with his head in his hands.

There is only one reason why Silone has captured Rijena. He is inviting himself to join her. Honestly, I don't want to see Cyrone.

But why was Regena captured anyway?

No, no. ......

I get up and shake my head and mutter.

There are quite a lot of reasons for Regena to be caught.

Just a few minutes ago, I learned that Regena's mother was a noble of the Velos Kingdom.

Moreover, she was the current king's pardoned wife. Apparently that Regena's mother had eloped with the previous king of Argoa.

And Regina looks like her mother. So if you took Regena to such a place, there was a possibility of problems.

Moreover, even Regena's childhood friend, the Prince of Argoa, had come to Velos. This would be like asking them to catch him.

He knew that Goz was going to Velos, but he didn't know that Omiros was coming.

What's more, I've never heard of Goz and Regina meeting in the past.

I wonder what on earth is going on.

If I had known, I would have been more considerate.

But it's too late to regret it now.

I'm angry at my own carelessness.

This is due to the fact that I didn't pry too much into Regena's past.

Ligena was punished by the people of Argoa by being sent to a goblin den. Because of this, most of Regena's clan was killed by the goblins. Only a few of them have survived. Perhaps Rižena wants to get revenge on those who drove her out of her home, but she wants to be a part of that revenge.

But I didn't want to be a part of that revenge.

That's why I didn't ask any questions and didn't look into it.

That was my mistake.

It's my own fault.

However, if it was just the people of the kingdom of Velos or Goz, I could probably have managed it by myself.

But the people who captured Regena include Shirone and the others, that's the problem.

The relationship between himself and Regena must be known to Shirone and the others. Syrone, who has never done anything horrible to a girl, must have been the one who captured Regena.

And perhaps he's waiting for himself to come to save Regena.

'I wonder what to do: ......

I was feeling a little overwhelmed.

I should go for help.

But I'm pretty sure she'll be waiting for me. I don't know if I'm gonna have to fight this thing again. I don't want to.

That's why I'm slowing down.

Maybe Cyrone hates himself. After all, she has hurt Rage, who Shirone loves.

He knows how women treat a man who has turned against Rage. That was harsh.

Those women and Syrone overlap.

I imagine Cyrone looking at me with cold eyes and hatred. It's not very comfortable.

That's why I had to cover my face with my helmet. He didn't want it to be Kroki, but something else called Dihardt, so that he could hate her.

But they've already found out who he is. Syrone would hate himself.

So I don't want to see her.

I have a feeling that it's better to not see her all the time than to be looked at coldly.

There's nothing I can do about it now. I'm in desperate need of progress.

I'm a pathetic ...... self.

He hides his true identity so that people won't hate him while he fights with Rage.

What a cowardly and shameless man.

This is why Shirone chooses Rage over himself.

If it was Rage, he would have saved Regena as fast as he could.

I think Regena is also unlucky. She was picked up by such a pathetic man.

If it really wasn't for Goz, Regena would be better off going straight back to Argoa.

As far as Coona is concerned, Goz doesn't seem to be of a very good nature. So it's probably best not to give Regena to Goz.

If I had to entrust Regena to him, it would be Omiros.

From what Kuna has told me, Omiros is a very single-minded man.

Omiros is so devoted to Regena that he will go into any dangerous goblin den as often as he can to find her.

Come to think of it, Regena would be better off on the side of Omiros in the light human world than on her own side of the dark Nargol.

If the two of them could make it work, then Regena wouldn't need her anymore.

Maybe Regena isn't being held captive, but rather she's not coming back to Nargol because she's doing well with Omiros.

If that's the case, I'd be very dumb to go and save Regena. He's a ridiculous clown.

The third villain who stands in the way of their love life should be Dihalt, and the righteous one who helps them.

And the righteous Silone ...... is the one who helps them.

'That sounds like a possible scene: ......

I imagine and mutter that much. That's the best happy ending. If that's the case, I'll be the villain.

Of course, there's a chance that it won't be.

So I don't want to see Cyrone, but I have to go to Regena's place to check it out.

I don't want to see Cyrone, but I have to do something about it.

Where is Regena now? Ligena should have the small sword she gave herself.

That sword is filled with her own magic power.

Concentrate your mind to explore the magic of the sword.

It seems that Ligeena and her friends are heading towards Argoa.

Then we must go to Argoa.

And then I think about Regena.

A girl whose family was killed and sent to a horrible goblin den.

It's a harsh life that I, who was born in peaceful Japan, can't even imagine.

But I saved her life. Now that I've saved her life, I want her to be happy.　I can't help but hope that she will be happy.
