Although the sun hung high and the golden leaves shone everywhere, it was very refreshing, and every breath carried the smell of earth and flowers. The insects chirped incessantly, and Worcester couldn't help but wonder what season it was.

Worcester simply deduced from Estelle's cabin that the habits of the human world are basically the same as those of the demon world, although I have thought about whether the outside world is different, but obviously, the forest, the stream and even the small animals are basically in line with Worcester's impression, the only thing that is different is that Worcester has never felt the existence of magic energy.

However, Worcester himself didn't know what magic energy was, and he couldn't see or smell this thing, he could only feel that it existed. And he didn't know what it was for, and he had never been exposed to magic since he was so old. Now that I'm here, I really haven't found anything too big a problem except that I can't feel the magic energy and I'm not used to it.

.... What is the difference between the demon world and the human world, is it really only the difference between the residents? ....

"Forget it, don't care about this kind of thing, let's complete the task first."

Wooster took out the sample herbs from the basket behind him and examined them carefully.

.... Well.... I don't feel anything special, and there is one of them that also has an impression of my own.

It seems to be called bellflower, and it has a good effect on restoring physical strength when used to boil soup.

———

The sky began to turn slightly yellow, and Worcester, wet and wet, walked on the way back.

In fact, I could have gone back earlier, but something bad happened on the way to pick.....

"If only there was no broken wood....."

Wooster clenched his fists helplessly, and a sad and angry face was written on his face.

He just saved the last step of picking one of the aquatic herbs he needed, but one accidentally tripped over a stake by the stream, and he fell straight into the stream....

Of course, the herbs in the entire basket all lose their value when they are wet.

All efforts are useless.

I can only do it all over again......

———

"Why are you coming back so slowly? I kept the furnace warm all afternoon, and I didn't even have time to make dinner! ”

Estelle looked at Wooster with a disgruntled expression, but seeing that he was wet, she also guessed about it.

"Did you pick daffodils and drop the creek?"

Worcester nodded undeniably, put the basket in the room with a tired face, and then went into the room to bathe, as if he had put a lot of effort into drying the basket.

Estelle couldn't help but laugh out loud when she looked at him, she didn't expect that a very smart guy would be quite reckless.

"Anyway... It's hard work, you go to rest first, and I'll call you later! ”

Estelle continued to go back to her studio to tinker, and there was really no sign of cooking, and it was probably a while before dinner.

———

The bathroom was filled with steam, and even if the windows were constantly filled with the evening wind, it could not blow away the fog in this small room. Wooster had a little extravagance, filling the bath with hot water—not a luxury, as Estelle did when she was soaking alone, but Worcester didn't know it. He soaked his whole body in hot water, as if it were about to melt in it, and Worcester was comfortably speechless.

After all, I picked the herbs twice and got wet .... He was a little tired.

"But the magic items are almost the same.... I wish everything was a dream. ”

Worcester spits bubbles in the water, which is also heated with magic items to keep the temperature until the magic crystals are exhausted.

Speaking of which, today is the first day of my recovery.

Estelle ..... ? What a person to be close to..... Although I don't remember exactly what happened, I was still alive.

After a visit to the ghost gate, Worcester felt the preciousness of life early.

"Huh? A bath potion that has a calming effect? ”

Worcester suddenly found that the small box next to him contained a lot of potions, all of which were labeled "Calm the Nerves".

Looks like Estelle is quite good at enjoying it.

Worcester couldn't help but fantasize about Estelle taking a bath....... But he didn't think of anything strange.

It's just a simple feeling.

That's nice.

"She shouldn't find out if she steals a bottle..."

He looked hesitant on his lips, but he took off the cork directly from his hand.

The dark green liquid flows into the pool, and soon, the bath water turns a green crystal green, dipping the body in hot water.....

"It's so comfortable......"

Leaning against the edge of the pool, Worcester, slowly, slowly, began to snore.

———

"Don't!"

In the ruins of the sea of fire, several sun knights armed with spears stabbed the fallen demons who were powerless to fight back and even begged for mercy on the ruins, and the corpses burned in a few seconds, merging with the background of the sea of fire.

Odd... Do Demon Realm people burn themselves when they die?

The next second, the sound of the spellbook closing, and the hooded magician following the knight caught Worcester's attention.

"It's another piece of garbage, and I didn't find the mastermind after killing so much."

The magician disdainfully slapped the black ash off his cloak and quickly followed the group.

This is..... Worcester stood still, looking at everything around him.

Death, flames, collapsed houses, screams in the background.

and the wooden statue of the god of harvest, which symbolizes the god of harvest in the flames, burns.

All sorts of festive banners were reduced to ashes in the flames.

Worcester lost his strength in an instant, and sat down on the ground, his pupils constricted, frightened.

"Don't!"

Wooster hugged his head in distraction, and for a moment, the picture turned.

"Worcester! Certain.... To live! ”

Worcester saw a woman kneeling on the edge of a cliff, calling out her name.

Yes, yes.... This is Mother!

Worcester cried out, stretched out his hand, and wept, but found himself unable to move half a step, while the knights behind him walked forward step by step, giving the townsfolk the last despair.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and blood and tears had replaced the original tears.

"Even humans have a way to demonize ......"

Mother slowly stood up and smiled sadly at the closing knights.

It is the seal of the father.

Mom and Dad have said that their bond is greater than all the love in the world. I didn't understand it all along, but I understand it now.

Mother slashed her finger with the seal, blood flowed into the seal, and in an instant, purple light bloomed slightly.

"What do you want to do!"

The knights shouted, they sensed something was wrong, and the rabbits would bite if they were in a hurry.

The mother inserted the seal into her body as if she had no feeling, and the seal merged with her mother in an instant.

"Ahh

The mother turned into a giant monster in the blink of an eye.

Worcester recognized that it was his father's race.

The mother roared and rushed towards the knight, and the rest of the inhabitants rushed forward, it was the realm, and the mother's realm strengthened all the inhabitants and inspired them to survive.

But... So what, there is no suspense about the collision of physical strength and sword magic.

Worcester was already in tears, and his mother collapsed at the last minute.

———

"Phew, bad luck. The Demon Realm is just as disgusting as the legend says. ”

There are no living creatures left in the town, and the knight soldiers are cleaning up the corpses of their own people, so that several knights can carry the demonized body of their mother.

The knights carrying their mothers talked.

"The loosening of the seal of the Demon Realm is really unheard of..."

"But I didn't expect humans to exist in this kind of ghost place."

"This is the first time we've ... Ah no, the first time the human world has come into contact with the demon world, right? ”

"If it weren't for the priest, I really wouldn't believe that this monster girl was human, it's outrageous."

"Don't talk nonsense, although there is human blood, the genes are only so faint! This is what the priest himself said. Take it out of context and kill us carefully! ”

"Forget it, listen to the captain first, let's not say anything, just send this monster back to the army honestly."

The knightly soldiers who were slowly converging all over the town were also muttering to themselves, and there were many who complained.

"Hurry up the evacuation! The loosening of the seal of the Demon Realm seems to be about to be lifted, so be careful not to get trapped here. ”

The soldiers immediately seemed to be in combat mode, and soon, all the soldiers except the dead soldiers had converged at the entrance to the sealed border.

Even then, together there were thousands of people, the number of a whole regiment.

With the opening of teleportation magic, the human army left the demon world one by one, and behind the vast plain was the still burning town, and the forces in the demon world gradually noticed the strangeness here and discovered this tragic event.

The first contact between humans and the demon world began with the slaughter of the city, just like the legend of Genesis.

———

"Are you awake? You can soak in heat stroke in the bath, but you really have yours. ”

When Worcester opened his eyes, he saw Estelle with a disgruntled face.

"Eh, why are you crying?"

Cry....? Wooster touched his face with his hand, and yes, tears were streaming down his face.

Some headaches should not be caused by heat stroke.

"It's okay..."

Wooster clutched his head and took a deep breath.

"It's really all for you today. Really. Estelle looked at Wooster angrily, "Forget it for you to see that gaffe, pick herbs and let me stay by the stove for an afternoon, finally finish the finishing work and have to make my own dinner, when I saw you, I ended up soaking in water and half dead and let me rescue you until now, my stomach is still empty!" ”

"I'm sorry...."Worcester could only bow his head and scratch the back of his head in shame, after all, he was really not very worrying.

"Forget it, don't make any noise about you resting, see you tomorrow." As soon as she finished speaking, Estelle disappeared and used flash magic in her own home, which may have been a little angry.

But Worcester's guess is more likely to be out for dinner........

The oil lamp was extinguished, and the bright moonlight shone into the house, very bright.

Worcester leaned back on his pillow and remembered everything about today.

"Today is a really bad day, and I have caused a lot of trouble for Sister Dale...."

"But the ..... I just saw"

"What are they? ....... I don't remember at all. ”
