Second Story Online: Aiming To Become The World's Number 1. Ideal Witch

Forest with gray trees and bright white fog just like when I used to come. In this forest where the sense of direction is also crazy because of the white mist.

I'm finally going after him so I don't lose sight of the back of the black cat running in front of me.

"I didn't know there was a place like this in this forest."

Mr. Kyle running next door squeaks.

'... because this is usually a hidden place. Of course you don't. Now that the bonds are broken, you can come in here. "

"Are you familiar with Yamato, Mr. Lucille?

Lucille, the black cat running forward. She was running unmistakably through these woods. It's as if you know what's ahead.

"A place to hide in the kingdom… Is that all this place is about?

"... I'd rather not have it, Chloe."

Whoa. You've been stabbed with a nail. Are you saying you don't need to know?

While we were talking about that, the forest gradually opened up.

"This place..."

Large lake in the open area. The white mist has disappeared somewhere and looks good. On its surface the night sky was mirrored and sparkling.

No, that's not all that's shining. Red magic formations floating in the water. If it glows like a pulse, the water also ripples. A brisk lightning strikes like a scream.

But I found that to be a beautiful but unusual sight at a glance.

the shore side of that lake. It was that red-hood man who was reaching for the lake where the magic formation floated. He will be the one causing this phenomenon.

A black shadow fell on the man.

"... ahhh. It was a good place."

A red-hood man who put up a magical barrier to prevent attacks from the black shadow. Of course it was Mr. Tsubaki who made the unintentional attack.

I was pushing my giggly knife against the barrier, but it's not going to break. As soon as he saw it, Mr. Tsubaki stepped away from the man.

The light of the lake subsides when the red-hood man leaves the lake. The magic formation that was red turned blue to show the anomaly.

"Haha. Lucille, you really want to get in my way."

'Cause I told you I wouldn't let you do what you wanted.'

Turn your grin over here to irritate me. We'll set up a weapon while we stay alert to that red-hood man.

"Ha... I guess a lot of them are passive. Well, no, I know there's an alley here, and I'll come back and break it again."

Who do you think will let you get away with this?

"Hey Lucille. I hope you don't forget your mission... but I think you should also remember that your life may soon be broken, right?

"It's..."

Will Mr. Lucille's life be broken? Does that mean you're gonna die?

"It breaks... Mr. Lucille, I want you to tell me why."

"What do you mean, Mr. Lucille?"

"Hey, what do you think, Lucille!

Mr. Tsubaki was also silently looking at Mr. Lucille. Mr. Lucille, who was asked, shook his head to the left and right.

'... I don't care about that now. Just get him. "

"You shouldn't lie, Lucille. Fine, I'll teach you instead of you."

"Stop it!

"It's a red beast you guys are trying to take down... its who Lucille is!

What. The identity of the red beast is Mr. Lucille!?

The conversation between the two of us continues in the margins of a surprising solidification.

"Yes, Lucille, the identity of that red beast who's relentlessly attacking people. Come on. Lucille didn't say anything to me? You can't say that. I'm the red beast, I'm the murderer's monster, I can't believe it... haha!

"Shut up! It's not your fault that I did it!

"Oh, scary scary scary.... Better yet, isn't it time you woke up? I was fooled. Haha, haha!

A red-hood man grinning with his belly. Lucille, a black cat who devours critical and teeth.

"Will you shut up for a second?

Too, I shot [Shadow Arrow] into the red-hood guy because that laugh was deaf. The magic was prevented by the barrier, but the laughter stopped.

"... I don't know what to do. You wanted to kill people, didn't you? Isn't it strange to attack me?

"Nothing's wrong with you. Because we're not fooled by her."

Laughing at Mr. Lucille through the black cat, the user demon. Maybe we met in the city. She's not the main body.

"She hasn't told me much about the truth. But I'm not lying."

Mr. Kyle laughs at her again, too.

Exactly. She doesn't tell the truth, but she's not lying. And there's another reason.

"If the really red beast were Lucille, it would be odd to ask her to defeat herself. It sounds more like you're lying and lying to me."

Mr. Wright pulls out his sword. Reflect the light of the stars as the Great Sword Rex bears holy light.

Mr. Tsubaki also focuses his efforts on the knife in his silent hands. Haku, next to her, also looked at the man as he stared.

"... Ha, I knew I wouldn't be fooled by a properly attached lie. But, you know, it's true that Lucille is a red beast, right?

"Don't bullshit me!

"Because it's true... you said Lucille earlier, didn't you?" What happened to me "or something."

I was caught up in that word, too. Unexpectedly sees Mr. Lucille.

'... what he's saying is true. My present body is contaminated with chaos and has become that ugly red beast'

A heavy atmosphere fell on the spot. That red beast, that beast that attacked me once, was Mr. Lucille.

The moment I understood that, I was accidentally hitting [Shadow Arrow] on the red-hood guy again.

"It's awful to attack again."

"Terrible? What are you talking about. The ones. You must be the one who turned Mr. Lucille into a red beast, right?

"Well, it is. You don't have to hide it. You're right. She was out of the way, so I tried contaminating her with chaos. Ha... I can't believe you twisted and destroyed things that were people so easily... the power of chaos is great!

A red-hood man who talks like he's excited.

"Are you still, um... woo!?

"Mr. Lucille!

A black cat suddenly collapsed in a patchouli. If you rush over, Mr. Lucille's groan looks painful.

"Oh, you seem to be dying already. I'm glad they're faithful to my request!

"That should be contaminated with chaos...... it shouldn't be done that easily. And without the power of the brave..."

"Well, surely it might be more efficient to have the power of a brave man. But if you work hard, you can take them down normally. Just in that case...... I can't purge the chaos properly, so Lucille dies, hey!

Oh no... I can't believe Mr. Lucille will die if we don't purify him correctly with the power of the brave.

That's when the roar rang from behind. Sounds like something jumped into the lake violently as the trees were knocked down.

"That's..."

Turning around was the look of that red beast. A beast falling on the shore of a lake. Slow movement, obviously dying.

Its body feels like red and black rotten, but I also found red blood flowing from the brand new wound. That stains the shoreline bright red. Whenever that beast makes a bitter roar, I also hear Mr. Lucille's bitter voice through the black cat in his arms.

"Do it! We can take him down in a little while!

A group of golden pikas out of the woods surround the beast.

Shit, if those people take down the Red Beast...

"Look, I don't seem to have time for this. Why don't you go and get him quick? Well, there's nothing Lucille can do without the power of a brave man, haha!

A red-hood man disappeared. I regret it, but the man is right. You should give priority to Mr. Lucille now.

'I don't care about me. Give me the...'

"Mr. Lucille. I don't think anyone will listen to that wish. Still, why didn't you tell me? If you say it first..."

I don't want you crusading the Red Beast, I want you to help yourself become the Red Beast. You wouldn't have even questioned me weirdly if you'd said that.

"... you guys were supposed to take him down at first, weren't you? That's why I didn't tell you. Because it was more convenient. '

"What was convenient...... are you still secretive over this period"

Is there anything else? What do you want to hide so badly......

You won't tell me if I ask. And I don't have time for that. Because Mr. Lucille's life is already about to disappear.

I leave Mr. Lucille, the black cat, with Earl. Please hide somewhere safe with me.

"Let's go help Mr. Lucille."

And I look over at my people. Everyone seems to have the same purpose.
