The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

119 – Sorcery

“So, have you thought about what to do next?”

“From now on, you mean.”

Ashera asked, and White rested her chin in a slightly worried look.

‘What should I do? Or, where should I go?’

The worries were divided into two branches.

I had to do something.

Slaying demon lords is put on hold for a while.

To be honest, it was because I was exhausted from various things.

“… ….”

White looked at Ashera with only a glance at her.

It’s not just you who are tired.

She must also be in a state of accumulated fatigue due to various factors.

As much as she is, it wasn’t bad for her to take a break for a while.

She needed healing in the current situation, enough to say it was essential.

That’s why I continue to worry.

A little time was given.

If I had to put it another way, it would have been nice to say that I was able to afford it.

Of course, even at this moment, the war of nerves between the 12 demon kings and the empire would be going on in real time, but at least for now, I didn’t want to pay attention to such things.

The most important thing is rest.

It’s time to just be calm with Ashera.

It took quite a long time to think about it, but the decision was surprisingly clear.

Because there was a place I wanted to go to before.

It was White’s own wish, but at the same time, it was thought that Ashera would not reject it either.

White glanced at Ashera and opened her mouth.

“I want to go to the kingdom of sorcery once. Still, as a wizard, I was curious about what kind of country it would be for those who claim to be walking the path of magic.”

“Well, is it the kingdom of magic?”

Ashera nodded her head in her understanding.

“Not bad. It is a country that is highly regarded as a tourist destination, and I have been thinking about stopping by at least once in the past…….”

Shera muttered for a moment, then she nodded her head willingly.

“It has been decided. A date with a disciple, and the next place is the kingdom of magic.”

“… ….”

And at the words Ashera spoke with her coy eyes, White couldn’t help but flinch.

Ashera’s words, one word stuck in my heart.

“…… Is it a date?”

“Yes, any problem?”

Seeing Ashera’s question immediately and a mischievous smile, White was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

“…… It’s nothing.”

Denial, it was White who tried to turn her gaze to the side.

“Doesn’t it seem like nothing?”

Ashera has been persistently digging.

Unlike before, it seems that she intends to tease her a little more persistently.

White’s expression hardened slightly.

Of course, Ashera’s smile only grew thicker at that reaction.

“Why, are you ashamed? I’m not a kid, but I pay attention to every single word.”

“… ….”

“Oh, I thought the disciple was all grown up, but he still has a little bit of a cute side to him?”

White touched his forehead at Ashera’s attack.

Both cheeks were very slightly flushed.

“…… The Kingdom of Darkness is a little far away, so let’s start quickly.”

Wanting to change the subject openly, White stepped up even faster.

It was clearly an action that could be read clearly.

“Ahahahaha.”

Ashera smiled at him, but didn’t bother pointing it out.

The smile in her eyes changed even more.

“… ….”

White, who subtly glared at her once, moved her mana.

Ugh-

Blue mana shimmers, covering White’s entire body as if to protect it.

At the same time, slowly, his body began to rise.

If it’s simple flying magic, it’s because White has already reached full maturity.

“…… I will go first.”

Muttering in a strangely stretched voice, White flew up into the air first.

“Ah, let’s go together!”

With a smile on her face, Ashera swiftly caught up behind White, as if she was going to get over it for now.

“Wagon travel must have its own charm. Did you have to fly without a mood like this?”

“Isn’t it faster this way? It is better to focus on efficiency.”

“Didn’t you just get angry and decide on your own?”

“… ….”

White did not answer.

It just accelerates even more.

“Look, you’re right!”

And what was so fun about it, Ashera smiled single-single and matched the pace with White.

The smile on Ashera’s lips showed no signs of fading even as she strode through the air at her formidable speed.

*****

“Oh, I see.”

The sky far away from the ground.

Somewhere there, Ashera muttered, narrowing her eyes.

“That must be the capital of the Dark Kingdom, maybe.”

“…… What is perhaps?”

I wonder if the words that came after were really bothering me.

White asked, narrowing her brows, and Ashera answered confidently.

“Well, I’m not the only one who knows all the geography of the continent. Or is it not a problem that can be found again as it is not?”

“… ….”

The tone felt even impudent, and White had no choice but to forget her words for a moment.

However, despite such a reaction, Ashera did not care.

Ignoring White, who threw her persistent questioning gaze, she slowly lowered her altitude.

They climbed to a distant altitude in order to secretly cross the border of the Kingdom of Darkness, but it was because the time had come for them to descend slowly as their destination, the capital city, came into sight.

A different composition from the start, Ashera took the lead, followed by White.

“How are you going to conduct the inspection? Master.”

White asked, still plummeting to the ground in her, Ashera only nudged her head.

“What do you want to do, disciple? Well, you can respond to the inspection normally. If that’s not the case, wouldn’t it be okay to secretly jump over the castle wall?”

“…… Aren’t you proudly declaring that you are smuggling anyway?”

Ashera responded calmly to White’s question.

“Disciple. I’m sorry, but we’ve already crossed the border of the Sorcery Kingdom secretly, right? What’s different about the capital, you wouldn’t even be able to detect us anyway.”

“… ….”

White couldn’t get her words out at the fact that flew straight ahead.

Come to think of it, it was.

In the yard where even the national border is sneakily crossed, what will be different about being the capital?

Just like she said, you wouldn’t be able to feel their presence at all.

“And if you were going to care about checkpoints, you should have moved by carriage from the start. Was it the disciple who asked me to fly first?”

“That… ….”

With no words to refute, White just dragged her words down.

Ashera raised the corners of her mouth and grabbed White’s hand.

Soon, pulling him as if leading, she began to fall slowly.

Of course, towards the center of the capital.

“Okay, let’s go. A thrilling date in the kingdom of magic is right in front of you, right?”

“… ….”

“Don’t frown and smile, disciple.”

Curling her eyebrows slightly, Ashera spat out in a strong tone.

Naturally, she couldn’t resist her words, so White could only smile subtly.

But she wondered if that was because she didn’t like her that much.

Ashera narrowed her eyes in a deliberately angry manner.

“I can’t feel your sincerity, again!”

“Yes?”

White asked back, but Ashera was adamant.

“Didn’t you hear? Smile again.”

“Yes?”

At the shortened words, White let out an embarrassed voice.

Did you just talk nonsense?

Is that Asherah?

…… To yourself?

Obvious embarrassment crossed White’s expression, but Ashera didn’t care. She

She doesn’t care, she licks her lips again.

“Come on, hurry—”

…… No.

I tried to take it off.

In the end, her words were not connected.

Hook!

“…… ?”

Ashera and White’s expressions were instantly stained with bewilderment.

Because they felt as if something or something was passing through their bodies.

The two heads turned.

From the composition of facing each other, to the form of looking down.

“…… Ah.”

And they could see.

Giying-

Unusually shaped turrets aiming their muzzles at themselves while making strange mechanical sounds.

“…… What?”

Ashera let out a panicked voice.

White’s unsure gaze turned to her.

“…… Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t detect us?”

“No, I did say that…… ?”

After answering with blankly blinking eyes, Ashera’s dim eyes lit up.

Her eyes were enhanced with mana for analysis.

And then, she noticed.

A fine but dense web of mana that clearly covers the entire city.

Ashera’s eyes widened.

“…… No, wait. Why didn’t you notice that?”

There was a feeling of embarrassment that could not be hidden in her voice as she muttered.

And at that point, could White see the same thing?

He opened his mouth with a timid expression.

“…… It doesn’t seem like magic. Master doesn’t even notice.”

However, if there is a difference between White and Ashera.

That meant that White was able to figure out the identity of the mana net covering the entire city in time.

A memory of a certain day began to emerge in White’s mind.

‘…… That was probably, at some point.’

I can’t remember the exact time.

Although it was a groundbreaking invention, it was a field that White, who was a pure-blooded wizard, was not very interested in.

…… Soon, a single word flashed through White’s mind.

‘Magic Engineering.’

A combination of magic and science, developed around the Kingdom of Darkness.

“…… At least I know it hasn’t appeared at this point.”

At White’s muttering, Ashera jerked her head.

“Do you know anything?”

“…… Yes, for now.”

Young White answered in an incomprehensible voice.

Since she had already brought out everything about regression, there was no reason why she wouldn’t explain the technology of the future.

…… It was.

Uh uh uh-

“I don’t think there will be time for a leisurely explanation.”

“…… Ah.”

At the presence of mana, which was now clearly felt, Ashera turned her gaze to the front.

Numerous turrets were aimed at the two men.

And such turrets would not hesitate to fire at any intruders who wished to sneak into their own city.

“…… Disciple.”

“Yes, Master.”

At Ashera’s call, White replied with a slightly resigned expression.

“Are we, by any chance, ruined?”

“… ….”

White is silent for a while.

Ugh, ugh!

However, at the movement of the turret, which gradually began to concentrate mana into her muzzle, White had no choice but to spit it out.

“…… Well, it seems that the carefree date is over.”

A word that made Ashera distort her expression in an instant.

────!

There was an explosion.

It was the result of the turrets turning their heads at White and Ashera in unison, spewing fire.

“…… Whoa.”

And soon, White’s shallow sighs ended.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

Above the city, there was an explosion that emitted a bright light enough to be said to be splendid.
