I Picked Up a Witch With Amnesia

8. Bianca del Castana – 12

“…Good night, Bianca.”

I finally passed out in my arms and gently laid Bianca to the ground. Gently caressing her body, I could feel that the mana of the whole body had finally been exhausted. Come to think of it, it was natural if it was natural. It wasn’t long after fighting Aria so bloodily that she even fought me afterwards, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable for her to lose her mind like this.

“…ha…”

Take a deep breath, exhale deeply. At the same time as she let go of the tension in her body that was in an extreme state, an indescribable, terrible pang of pain began to surge through her whole body.

“…Ah, ugh.”

The whole body was covered with scars. The left arm, which received Bianca’s ‘Sigh of the White Flame’, was barely attached to the body and could not feel any sensation. It was twisted and shattered.

The skin of the whole body was terribly tattered like rags after receiving all kinds of injuries that humans can suffer from, such as lacerations, burns, and frostbite. Perhaps because of the crazy act of converting life force into an aura and using it, the whole body has no strength at all. There was no It felt as if the concept of vitality had completely disappeared from my body. It was just my expectation, but due to the aftermath of the fight with Bianca just now, I felt as if at least a few months’ worth of life had been cut off.

“…There is no business left.”

It was a well-deserved promise. The opponent I wanted to face was one of the strongest wizards in existence as well as the strongest part of mankind. In other words, it was not a level where a crap like me could dare to thrust a sword. It was a miracle that he managed to win against her with only this much injury.

…Besides, wouldn’t it be a hundred times better to have my lifespan cut off by a few months than to see one of Arya or Bianca die? Except for one thing, that my whole body literally broke apart and my whole body was f*cking sore.

“…Cool-!”

In the end, he vomited black, dead blood from his mouth. It seems that the frequency of vomiting blood has increased too much lately. The ominous imagination that I might not be able to die on my own came to my mind. Perhaps it was a reaction from vomiting blood, it seemed as if the vision in front of her eyes was gradually blurring.

Tuck, Tuck.

It was then. In my ears, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching this way.

“Good work, Cain-nim.”

“…aria.”

In my eyes, on the verge of becoming trash, someone’s figure comes into view. For a moment, I almost couldn’t recognize who the other person was because my eyes were blurred, but I was able to realize that the person in front of me was Aria through her voice.

“…you overdo it. That’s great too.”

As she said that, Arya wiped the sweat and blood from my face with the hem of her dress. Her clean, neat clothes were quickly soiled by my blood. However, as if Arya didn’t care about that at all, she meticulously wiped off the sweat and blood from my body, then took a step back from me with a satisfied face.

“…I didn’t have to do this to the extent of getting your clothes dirty.”

“How can you say such pitiful things? I’m Cain’s exclusive maid. And, at this moment, the only thing I can do for Cain is this.”

As she answered, Arya only showed a mature smile that was clearly different from her usual smile.

“Cain-nim, if you don’t mind rudeness, would it be all right if I ask you one thing?”

“…What? And I would like you to ask me as quickly as possible.”

Seeing how you’ve been seen as two people from earlier, I think I’m going to lose my mind sooner or later.

“Um, nothing different. It’s just a simple check. Cain. Right after you were kidnapped by Bianca del Castana, you lost your memory at her hands, right?”

“…Yes, it was.”

As long as Aria had ears, she would have been able to listen to the conversation between me and Bianca, so it wasn’t something to hide and sleep on now. I nodded my head in affirmation of Arya’s words.

“By the way, Cain-sama’s memories aren’t actually complete, are they?”

tall.

The moment he heard Arya’s words, his body froze. The faintly faded consciousness is instantly transformed into something clear.

“You know what? Cain-nim, while I haven’t met you in the meantime, your personality has changed a lot. It hasn’t changed to the fundamentals, but should I say it feels a little more serious and calm?”

Well, it doesn’t matter whether it’s my past personality or my current personality, since I’m both within the permissible range, Aria muttered to herself, “It doesn’t matter.”

…Actually, everything Arya said was right. I was able to recover my memories through a connection unknown even to myself, but the memories I recovered were not complete memories. It was easy to recognize that there was still a big hole in the middle of my memory.

Well, it wasn’t a fatal defect that interfered with my daily life or made me unable to think of other people, so I roughly accepted it and passed it on, but that doesn’t mean that I have the same memories as the ‘me before’. If you look at it in that sense, it must be that something has definitely changed in the eyes of others.

“…How did know? Did you show off that much?”

I didn’t mean to interrogate Arya. It was just a self-deprecating question, whether I had been so obvious in the eyes of others.

“Personality is bound to be in a complementary relationship with memory, right? As experience accumulates through memory, a person’s personality gradually changes over and over again. But even taking that into account, I think Cain’s personality has changed a bit. I just judged that it was a bit dramatic to say that it was a change in just 40 days.”

“…..”

“Actually, there are a few things I don’t understand. It seems that not only my personality has improved, but also my overall physical abilities, including swordsmanship, have improved, but no matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it well.”

Arya murmured something she couldn’t easily understand, saying, “Could it be the plot of that sinister elf who is stuck in the great forest and doesn’t come out very often?”

Why? I thought that the aria standing in front of me was not the aria I was familiar with. No, it was definitely different. That expression of smiling softly at me as if flirting with me, that way of speaking that was far more intellectual than usual, and that atmosphere that exudes an old-fashioned demeanor, all of which I had never seen before in my life.

…No, it wasn’t. It wasn’t the first time I’d seen Arya like that. I’m sure I’ve seen Arya like that one day. that’s obviously-

“…Aria, you, no way…”

Beetle.

I tried to say something to Arya, but I guess I was at my limit now. I desperately tried to maintain my consciousness, but my vision, which was still blurry, quickly started to go dark.

Then, there was someone who wrapped and hugged my body as it slowly collapsed towards the floor with soft arms.

“…thank you. give me a name thanks Until the end, for being by my side. thanks for making me happy.”

“And thank you. For trusting me to the end.”

For some reason, I feel relieved at the pleasant touch that is embracing me, and I surrender to the surging demon. Just before my consciousness goes out, someone whispers these words in my ear in a very small voice.

“I’ll promise. That I, too, will be by your side until the very last moment.”

So, I will make sure to prove that the choice you made today was the right one.

So, at least for this moment, rest in peace.

****

And so, a fight ended. With a roar that shattered the heavens and the earth, the fight in which each tried to carry out their own convictions ended with one man’s victory.

And in that bay, there was a woman who could not even breathe properly and just watched the fight they had. Her name is Iris El Devhard. She was the teacher and lover of a man named Cain von Estel, and at the same time a woman who was in a relationship with him, who promised to do everything together.

“…Cain.”

saw everything I put it all in my eyes. Your struggle, your will, and your determination.

…Actually, every time you got hurt and hurt by that woman’s hand, I wanted to run towards you. However, I persevered. It was because you couldn’t turn away your efforts standing there with everything you risked.

In the end, you won. You have proven your worth only with your own strength. Its appearance was so brilliant that it could not be compared to anything else in the world.

It was wonderful. Along with that, the desire to possess you also grew.

I want to run to your side right now and take you to the Islands as I did in the past. I wanted to make you only look at me, smile at me, and love only me. This time, I want to be happy with you until the moment the world ends.

When I imagine being with you, my heart starts pounding like crazy. Imagining you being by my side forever, I start to feel so happy. I feel satisfied that this rich feeling that fills my heart is love.

“Cain.”

Iris’s eyes begin to glow with greed. He didn’t notice or pay attention to the things around him.

Now, I also want to get a man like you in earnest.

“…was the best, really.”

Kyrie el Denaris, who is called the guardian of the world tree in the very center of the great forest, was trembling with her face flushed.

The scene that Kirie had been secretly voyeurizing a while ago was an amazing sight that she had never seen before even in her long life. Really, it was great. It was thrilling. Although some time had passed, the excitement did not go away from his whole body. It was an extreme pleasure, as if a woman’s private parts were wet.

“…Ah, that’s really cool. If this is enough, I think it could be equivalent to Iris El Devhart?”

In Kyrie’s personal opinion, Cain at that time was the coolest, but today, too, it was quite challenging. Also, no matter how many times I watched it, I never got tired of it. The sight of the human she loved burning everything of herself based on her own beliefs was a terrifyingly ecstatic sight to her.

Kirie involuntarily stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. thirsty This alone was not enough. In order to relieve the boredom accumulated over and over again in a far-off long life, this alone was not enough. More entertainment was needed.

“Ah, I see.”

Suddenly, it popped into my mind. That there was still one word she hadn’t moved.

Ariel Thiers. As far as Kyrie knows, she’s the most soggy, shady, and more insane than Bianca.

Of course, it took quite a while for her to be quite smart and partially aware of the truth of the world, but Kyrie knew all too well what the key to driving that serpentine woman was.

“Come on, Ariel Thiers. What kind of scene will you direct me to?”

At the moment when everything comes together and all the truth is revealed, what choice will he make? It seemed that for the time being, just imagining such a future would not be boring.
