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

I finished the launch with everyone, the next day. I was walking in the dusk woods towards a certain place.

It's Mr. Lucille's fault that I'm walking here. The other day, she disappeared while telling me to come see you again. I stopped by that house in the city of Die Road again, but it's still a shell. There was no sign of Mr. Lucille, or of the black cat of the user demon.

So where the hell is she? There was only one place I could think of naturally when I thought of it that way.

Still in the dim woods. An eye that is trying to blend into its lush trees. A visibly torn entrance attached to an invisible wall of junction. I made it, it's the entrance to the future.

"If you're here, it's the only place you can be."

I'll make sure there's no one around, and then I'll come in through that entrance. If it had been before, Nil would have stopped coming in. It was quiet.

Step into it and you'll change from a dark forest to a gray forest. Something like white mist stood in, and it became difficult to see Earl, who was next door.

I feel strange behind me and look back. The entrance to the rift that came in was gradually smaller. As if to repair what was torn.

"... so you can't go home"

I'm not running away. Or is there another reason?

"Here we go, Earl"

Calm the panicking Earl and take that hand.

"Let's keep our hands together."

In this fog. It will be difficult to rendezvous once it is detached. Walk in the fog holding hands with Earl. It's like I'm here for a picnic. Waving my hand.

I'm doing that, but I didn't forget. That this forest will get lost if we are not careful. As always, the data on the map is black and shows nothing. It was when I was thinking about shooting in magic again.

"What is it?

The bracelet I was equipped with on my arm. This is that bracelet Mr. Lucille gave me. It was moving to be attracted in response to something. Follow that direction and walk away.

"This place..."

The white fog suddenly cleared and the forest opened. It is the blue lake I saw then that spreads in front of me. water surface that reflects the sun's light. I just didn't see that magic formation in the water today. It just looks like a normal beautiful lake.

"Nyaar."

"Black Cat......"

When I looked over there relying on my voice, a black cat walked over here along the shore of the lake. Having this child means...

"Are you finally here? I almost fell asleep waiting."

An old witch woven with black robes behind that black cat. There was Mr. Lucille, who grinned and laughed happily making wrinkles.

"Because a mean person didn't tell me where to meet you"

"Are you kidding me? Until I thought Chloe would know where I was. Because if you don't know, it's to that extent, and it's not worth meeting.... and that reading didn't seem off. I didn't waste my time working on your bracelet."

Laughing without offense, Mr. Lucille. You didn't tell me where it was on purpose. And is the bracelet array your fault too?

"This is how we met again. We'll talk about it. Everything I want to know."

"Fine. Why don't I talk to you? Just like we talked about earlier. You don't have to know what I'm going to talk about. You'll know something extra. Are you prepared to know that, and can you take responsibility for knowing that?

In the meantime, Mr. Lucille seemed to say that he could turn back now. The expression was also serious, as if wearing some kind of mask.

"There's no way you can keep coming this far and turn back. Come on, let's talk about it, shall we, Mr. Lucille?

It's not Chloe who gets drunk by that atmosphere. She's the one who goes anyway if you're concerned. Seeing me like that, Mr. Lucille grins again. It was a reassuring grin somewhere.

"So first, Mr. Lucille, can you tell me exactly who you are?

"He's just a clumsy sorcerer."

"Didn't you tell me?

"Well, well, this is not a mistake, though. I'm a regular magician. I don't have any special powers like a brave man. Except I have a special title."

"Title?"

"Guardian of the Seal. I am the one who keeps the seal in this forest as a guardian. You know your demon from this forest."

View Chirali and Nil. I certainly didn't think you were trying to keep me away from the White Forest or showing much vigilance about Mr. Lucille. If Nil was a former forest resident, it wouldn't be strange to know about her.

My partner like that stopped on Earl's shoulder and stared at Mr. Lucille in front of him. I feel like a gaze of respect for something special. I was just trying to narrow my eyes to see if there was another gaze in, too, sometimes something.

"So, the seal you're protecting and the magic formation on that lake?

"Oh, yeah. Because that lake itself is a magic formation of seals."

"So what does that magic formation seal?

"I know this far. You don't have to ask. That's how much you know, right?

You won't tell me again, Mr. Lucille. Well, if you do have all this information, you'll see. If you don't even seem to know that, it would mean you won't tell me beyond.

Now... is that something sealed over there? Mr. Lucille was stopping that red-hood man from breaking the seal. Even though I was being eroded by chaos. Sealed in this junction because of it is so dangerous that it had to be stopped at any cost.

Such a dangerous thing. There is only one thing in this world.

"Chaos...... right?

"Um, you're right. This is the great chaos that once sealed with the power of the gods of the stars, the culprit, as the root of all the chaos that exists in this world."

I see. If what was sealed is so much, I'm convinced.

"I'm surprised there's such a big magic formation of seals on those things."

"You know that too, don't you? The power of chaos scattered around the world was sealed everywhere. Something like this. There are similarly sealed magic formations around the world... but I don't know how many of them are."

It was also in official history that the seal was sealed. I didn't think it would be next to such an early city.

"Once all the seals have been lifted, the world will once again be in chaos. I can't insult just one thing being solved. For example, if the sealed junction here in the forest is unraveled, the whole area will be consumed with chaos, and that is what makes the creature an inanimate land"

"So you stopped that man until you sacrificed yourself."

"That's what I'm talking about"

I can also snort at Mr. Lucille's desperate defense of the sealed junction. If I thought about the seal being broken, I might have been cursed by chaos too.

"Then who the hell is that man? He seemed to know what was sealed here from his mouth..."

"I hear there are people trying to unseal the great chaos. He would be a flavor there.... they are really troublesome people. I don't even know where the hell I sniffed this place, but I missed it even though they knew it existed here..."

This sealed land will be a place to be kept secret. Don't let it get in those raw ears. However, not only did that guy find me this time, I missed it.

"He'll be back. Get ready. I don't know when that's going to happen, but until then, I..."

"... Mr. Lucille?

Mr. Lucille quietly approaches the lake. In the sunset light that had fallen, the lake was glowing in gold. No, it's not just the lake. The gray trees that were around also became golden trees in the sunset and the reflecting light of the lake. That sight would be exactly what you deserve to call [Dusk Forest].

"It'll be beautiful. It is thanks to the magic that is here that this forest can shine."

Mr. Lucille looks at me out of sight from the lake. A gentle smile, but why do you feel anxious......
