The hunter has been waiting for ten years in a small house in the suburbs, but the black cat has never been in touch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

While the living doll never breaks and rots, the hunter feels that he is running out of patience.

He went to the Imperial Royal Academy and tried to find 'Aya' about the situation, but the doorman told him that Aya had been killed by the Golden Hand for conducting a large number of vicious human experiments.

Hunters have seen once in a while in the Battle of the Golden Hand, the kind of furious golden flames and extreme speed...... It is estimated that before he shoots, he will turn into a golden humanoid torch.

Now that even 'aya' is dead, who do I go to contact the black cat?

Recognizing his current situation, the hunter fell into confusion.

Just when the hunter was in a daze, the kind-hearted Imperial General saw the hunter standing at the entrance of the Royal Academy, and his whole aura was incompatible with the Academy.

"This gentleman, I'm the commander-in-chief of the Third Imperial Legion, General Estes Mushroom, I see that you seem to have something to think about here, don't you mind, can you talk to you?"

The girl who called herself the Great General looked the same age as the 'aya' the hunter had seen, probably 18 or 19 years old. But the military uniform she wears, as well as the shining medals on her uniform, are all testaments to her high status in the country.

Whether it was the girl's abyss-like momentum or the status of her medals, it was not something that a hunter could offend, so he simply honestly confided his troubles to the girl in front of him.

The hunter was ready to run away desperately, after all, the girl on the other side was still a soldier of this country, so she wouldn't tolerate a wicked person like herself, right?

"Bringing back dead souls?"

Unexpectedly, the girl had no intention of arresting him at all: "Considering the nature of your matter, the church and the formal magic association will definitely not help you, and the magicians in the opposition will not offend the god of death for the little reward you can give." Now you can't reach the demon you're talking about...... I think it's hard to fulfill your wish. ”

The hunter suddenly felt despair.

"But......" said the female general named Estes, "you know what? ”

Isn't that his own daughter Viola?!

"This ......" the hunter's eyes lit up, "yes...... Viola?"

"Heh......"

The female general looked a little surprised: "...... Oh, isn't her name Irene?"

"No, her name is Viola. ”

"Oh, Viola...... Viola......? It's Viola......

The female general muttered thoughtfully.

"Of course!"

The hunter said this categorically, and then got up and said goodbye to the female general: "...... Then this lord, I have something urgent, so I will go first. ”

"Go ahead and wish your wish to be granted. ”

The female general smiled and said goodbye to the hunter.

With this pleasant expectation, the hunter happily returned to his small house in the suburbs, took his beloved living doll, and headed to the beautiful Rose Lady Academy.

The academy's defenses were outrageously lax, and the security corps of girls who had never been through the battlefield certainly couldn't stop the hunters.

Soon, the hunter came to Viola's villa.

The witch who noticed it didn't wait for the hunter to knock on the door, and opened the door of the villa and walked out.

“......？.........！！.....................”

When she saw that the visitor was a hunter, her cold face looked a little puzzled, as if she didn't know the hunter.

But when her eyes met the living puppet in the hunter's arms, she was startled as if she had seen something incomprehensible, and fell into a long silence.

“......”

The hunter was in a hurry, though he confirmed that the witch in front of him was his daughter Viola...... But he couldn't figure out the witch's attitude, so he didn't dare to speak.

However, the witch didn't let him wait long, only to hear the witch's puzzled voice.

"Are you...... Father... Dear?"

"Yes, Viola, my child!" said the hunter, "quick, let me see your master! I know, your master can bring your mother back to life, quick, let me meet your master...... If you can't do it, you can ask for it for me!"

“...... You want to meet Sister Mushroom?"

"Yes, Viola!" said the hunter, excitedly holding up the living doll in his arms, "Look, my child, this is the witch who took your body! I made her a living doll! Let her be the sacrifice of your mother's resurrection in your place!

The witch looked at the living puppet in the hunter's hand and frowned.

“...... Erin?"

"Yes, that's right, it's this abominable witch, isn't it?" the hunter seemed to ask for credit, "I can avenge you!"

“...... Erin, does she know what you think?"

"Of course, this stupid witch, I told her that she still looks like she is willing to do anything for me, she is so stupid! Before I completely let her blood out, she still said that she loves me over and over again!?" said the hunter proudly, "and don't look at what she is...... A witch who actually framed her friends for her own freedom............ Haha, does the witch want love too? It's funny. ”

“...... Erin......"

The witch's cold face softened slightly, and then the dead silence was restored.

"I'm sorry, but my father, I have to tell you the news that she has left this world and can no longer grant your wishes. ”

Can't get my wish anymore?

“...... Ah......h

The hunter's mouth was still wide open, "My daughter, are you joking?"

"No kidding, the master she was expelled from this world...... Temporary. The witch continued, "But how long will it take to return...... I want to know, too. ”

“......”

"But it seems that there are no hundreds of years that can't come back, right?" said the witch, "The space-timewalkers from hundreds of years in the future say that they haven't seen their masters......"

“......”

"What's the matter, father, what is this ugly look of tears for?...... Oh, and took out a weapon?" the witch said in a flat tone, "...... Are you going to break down or do you want to continue? Hurry up if you can, I'll have to keep looking for my master. ”

“......”

The hunter pointed his gun at the witch in one hand and the living doll in the other, his face full of tears twisted and let out a wail:

"Wei---Ao―――――― pull――――――――――!!!!!!ahh......h

Before the roaring hunter could shoot, he was swallowed up by the purple-black swamp that poured out of his own shadow, and the swollen swamp wriggled like a living thing, making a slippery sound of chewing some kind of meat.

The sound grew louder and louder, but after a while it gradually became quieter, and finally disappeared with the swamp that had disappeared into the shadows.

All that was left was the living puppet slumped on the grass, and the swamp didn't seem to want to swallow it, so it didn't even touch it.

“............”

Even after killing her former biological father, the witch's state of mind did not fluctuate much, and she was not as attractive as the living puppet in front of her.

"I was thinking that when Kamijo Dangma killed 'Aya', I saw you in her memory, but I couldn't find you in her collection, it turned out ...... You're with your father, Irene. ”

Living dolls can't speak.

“......”

The witch stopped talking, she smiled self-deprecatingly, walked back to the villa with the living doll, and gently closed the door.
