Yomigaeri no Maou

To Lulu's question, Solange put on a stunned look for a moment as if he had returned to me.

Then I looked at Iris' face again,

"... no, no... sorry. Because it was too similar to someone I knew... well looked at, someone else. But the color of that hair..."

and starts to say bump.

There's no way Lulu and Illis don't know what that word means, and think about what it's good to say.

Perhaps, the person Solange called "Mother," whom she corrected to know, was an ancient demon, or an associate thereof.

The reference to the color of the hair is arguably proof of this.

In modern times, both Lulu and Illis have only seen Crail, the one with silver hair.

Maybe some people in the world have silver hair, unrelated to the Ancient Demons, but it would be wrong to think about that possibility and take the choice of saying ask Solange nothing.

So Lulu asked.

"Is there something in the color of Iris' hair?

It starts with an unusual story.

It's not bad to poke the core all of a sudden, but it wouldn't be good to surprise the old man too much.

Solange seems to have gradually calmed down and is gradually returning to his expression and attitude.

"Oh... as I said earlier, I know someone. I had the same color of hair as my daughter, Iris. Silver hair that just shines. I've never seen anyone with hair like this other than that one... I'm surprised. Sorry, my daughter."

Solange said that with regret.

It was an apology for suddenly mistaken for someone.

That just didn't matter to Iris or Lulu.

I knew Solange, and I really wanted to ask him what that was like.

So I go in and listen more and more.

In Solange's tone, I understood that he probably wasn't the person I could see that often, or that he didn't feel the possibility that he was dead anymore, and that he shouldn't normally ask too deeply.

But still, you can't keep quiet.

As much, it was definitely important to both of us.

says Illis.

"No... I don't mind at all. More than that... Earlier, Mr. Solange called me" Mother "..."

"Oh, yeah. I said acquaintance. My mother. That said, there's no blood connected at all. You can tell by the color of this hair, can't you?

That's what I said and pulled her hair, black.

I'm impressed with the fact that you've been able to maintain so much colour that year.

I mean, herself, she's not an ancient demon, no matter how she sees it.

"But... Hmm. Right..."

That's what Solange said.

He seemed to be thinking of something, but I don't know what that is to Lulu or to Illis.

I wonder what's wrong, Lulu asks.

"What? You got something for me?

"No... you know what? The ancient demons, a species that existed a long time ago, had silver hair..."

The words are too abrupt, and both Lulu and Illis, for a moment, attract their expressions.

Maybe Solange didn't mean anything.

But the reaction between the two seemed obvious as to what it meant for Solange.

Then she brightened her expression a little,

"Well... I see. Is this... Do you guys have time for tonight?

That's what I've been asking.

I can see that you're going to tell the Lulu people something.

And I'm going out of my way to change time, because here and now, there's Yurk and Stefani.

They stared anxiously at Solange from earlier.

The way Solange looks right now, he looks pretty unusual doing them.

However, he seemed to know that he was talking about something important with the Lulu people, and he was listening without pinching his mouth.

Solange is stroking his head to reassure them both.

That look is completely back to normal and has no startling colour when you see Illis.

There was just an invisible look on the bottom of an old lady there, like a taunt of something.

That was the type of person Lulu and Illis were the worst at.

But I really want to hear her story.

If you say that no one can talk without pinching it, this has to get on.

I would have left the village by the end of the day to go for the Castle City Final, plus the Logsuela Mountains, but this doesn't seem like anything more than giving up.

Lulu and Illis gazed at each other and agreed to the matter, then Lulu said on his behalf.

"Ah. I have time. I'm going to spend the night in the village today."

to the words, Solange looked happy,

"Oh well. That's good...... so why don't you come over to my house tonight? What, the forest at night is dangerous... but you guys (...) wouldn't have a problem, would you?

There may not have been any profound meaning to the word.

It was just simply that, as a magician, I might have decided that you two had enough strength.

But to this day, I never felt that her words had any profound meaning.

It's just an overthought, maybe it's my fault.

They nodded at Solange's words, then finished their stand-up on the spot and decided to return.

The route is to go to the house of Solange once, and from there return to the path that came.

The role of sending two children was naturally assumed by Lulu and Illis.

Usually, when Solange puts an archery on the Yurks, they say she'll follow them both on the way and home, but she'll be fine because they have the Lulu's today, so to speak.

On the way back to the village, Lulu tells Iris, staring at Yurk and Stefani, who seem to enjoy themselves.

"That old lady... who do you think she is?

Iris put his finger on his chin to the question and thought a little,

"... I don't know. Too little information. But there seems to be no doubt that I, in other words, know someone with the same color as our (...) distinctive hair."

"Right... that's right. And the problem is…"

Illis continues the words that Lulu cut.

"Yeah. You know what (...) and how far (...)..."

Like that.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

You can hear demons and animals barking from all directions as you walk through the woods in the dark.

I also feel numerous wild glances at Lulu and Illis, but nothing strikes me.

Perhaps they can tell, in the muddled wild, that they have lived in a weak and strong diet.

That the magic is erupting that the two of them are now remarkably nervous and usually suppressing.

Besides, next to the two, one little dragon (Liga Dragon), who wasn't there during the day, is stuck flying.

"Cucumber ~"

Maybe that voice, which is ringing like a singer, also had the effect of not letting the demons in.

When we reach Solange's cabin, a small magic light (light) is lit in front of the house, warmly welcoming the two of us.

We seemed to see Solange's character in places like this, and the two of us who saw it thought we might be a little too nervous, so we took a deep breath and relaxed our minds.

"... I'll slap you"

When Lulu said so, Illis nodded, so Lulu decided his heart and knocked on the door of Solange's cabin.

- Hello.

And, when I knocked on the soft tree, the distinctive sound rang, and after a while Solange opened the door to the opening of the house to welcome them both.

The look on his face is a smile.

"Oh, you've come a long way. It would have been tough going back and forth on the stretched path of the grass...... hmm? Is that... Little Dragon? Well... come on in."

The words are gentle and I don't feel hostile or harmful

Coming here, the two understood that their tension was on foot, and their shoulders fell off forever.

Because he found out to Solange that he didn't intend to do this to the Lulu people in every way.

They bowed their heads to Solange, then took Rigadora and went inside.

Three people on the same table.

Rigadora is obsessed with food on a plate placed on the ground and eating it.

And

- Things.

and in the cup placed in front of them was a clear green liquid that stood fluffy and hot.

The fragrance was refreshing, sober to the nose, and when I applied my mouth it made my tongue tingle, it tasted refreshing and refreshing.

And it seems a little nostalgic - I also felt that way.

"It's my special herbal tea. I don't really serve anything other than villagers, but today is special."

That's what Solange smiles at.

There was certainly a small vegetable garden in front of the cabin, where some herbs were also seen to be grown.

If she herself made it by formulating it, she is quite skilled.

It's not strange to let it out in Wang Du's shop, that's the level.

So the next word she unleashed was unexpected.

"- Your mother taught me. This is what we (...) used to drink,"

Not the two of us who don't know what that “we” refers to.

This was my first time putting this word out face to face, other than Gran and Yumis, but surprisingly, it came out all the time myself.

- An ancient demon clan?

To the answer, Solange snorted deeper with a grin.

Then, without anyone saying anything, the silent time lasted for a while, but I couldn't stand it any longer, not to enter while I was able to be natural, Solange said.

"I am... I used to be an orphan... Decades ago, there was a small rivalry between nobles in the area. That's when all my parents and relatives died."

"It's..."

That was tough, I also felt I should say, but Solange seemed to have already broken it off, and I felt it was just a cliché to dare say that now.

I've been told more than once, because I saw the look on his face and I knew it.

So without going ahead, Lulu mumbles.

Without Iris saying anything either, I listened to Solange.

"The villagers think I've lived in this village all my life... because I didn't tell them about myself, and the villagers' parents and grandfathers didn't tell their children about it. Thank you for your consideration."

At all times, it is a reaction to the stranger, especially not a weak feeling for orphans.

I usually show my face in a mundane place, even when I deal with it normally.

He said it was something else.

I guess that means the villagers hated that kind of discrimination.

I think it's a fine thing for both of us.

"Above all, because I was a person who could contribute to the village... but I learned all of that technology from my mother... Once, when I lost all my relatives, I flowed around this village. Because I didn't feel like I could count on anyone. I knew there was a village nearby, but I dared to live in the back of the woods... and, hey, one day, I realized"

"... to what, is it?

That's what Iris asked as he urged.

Solange laughed all the time,

"That's... what are we talking about here. I need to go somewhere. Will you follow me?

That's what I said and got up.

There is no denial to the Lulu and they decide to follow her and walk.

Rigadora was also finished eating the bait Solange had prepared for her, so she set it aside and flew quickly with him to get on Lulu's head.

"Cuckoo!"

And as I walked in the woods, it sounded like fun all the time.

Solange looked at such ligadra,

"It's another busy little dragon (Liga Dragon). But if Xiaolong (Liga Dragon) was ringing, there would normally be demons dropping by... you wouldn't come at all. Strange."

And I was leaning my neck.

It's not funny how Rigadora is really just a dragon (Riga Dragon).

Xiaolong (Liga Dragon) is a weak demon.

No creature has ever been more convenient to feed.

But in fact, Rigadora is an ancient dragon.

There can't be such things as demons with the courage to tell you to eat something like that.

So for Lulu and Illis, who know that, it's no wonder or anything that demons don't come by.

However, I decided to say something appropriate to make it once and for all convincing.

"Rigadora - Until just now, he was screwed with a double-headed dragon with our carriage. Isn't that what you smell like?

and.

Solange seemed convinced by that dialogue,

"I see. A double-headed dragon... I can't believe you're making a" horse ”of that stuff... well, maybe it's no surprise. If it's like you guys (...)"

And he said it in bad rhetoric to my heart again.
