Volume 7 Chapter 28 The Saint Who Breaks Commandment, Return To Japan
In a chilly morning, filled with tension, a private jet landed on the runway of Haneda Airport. Two men and two women emerged from it.
"Yasukawa-sama, we sincerely appreciate the assistance you have provided us. We will never forget this kindness."
"Oh no, Mevia-san, this is nothing compared to what you have done for us. If you ever encounter any trouble, please don't hesitate to reach out. I will do everything in my power to help."
Yasukawa replied with a smile, addressing the young girl.
The girl had vibrant golden hair and distinctive red eyes, making her quite a sight to behold. Her adorable smile and the gesture of bowing her head to Yasukawa stirred feelings of protectiveness in everyone present.
Mevia, the Saint of Asteris, performed flawlessly as a skilled Saint. If Yuusuke were here, he would probably whisper, "A youkai in disguise as a cat," under his breath.
In reality, beneath her smile, Mevia harbored various hidden motives.
Yasukawa, the man known for his wealth, had a daughter who suffered from an illness that rendered her unable to walk.
Mevea watched as he tended to his daughter, having sold her gratitude.
Despite the freedom she experienced on this planet, she had come to America, repeating such activities.
“Ugh..., finally on the ground...!”
Looking at the ground with emotion was a man with his hood pulled over his head, carrying a huge box on his back and breathing a sigh of relief.
Nest Anguise, one of the guardians.
In the box he carried, the 'key' girl, Bertina, was sleeping.
Bertina was cursed after a battle with demons and was in a coma. She was currently being sustained by Mevea's magic, but the root curse remained unbroken.
She had come to Japan to break this curse.
For people from another world who live in the forest, the small airplane was shockingly different.
After recovering from the dizziness a bit, Nest asked Sebas, who was walking next to him.
"Is there someone in this country who can lift Bertina's curse?"
"Well, it seems that the likelihood is the highest. That's probably correct."
"Still, I'm grateful."
Nest couldn't do anything else. If there was even a glimmer of hope, he would cling to it.
"So, where are we going next?"
"First, let's meet up with Mevia-sama's companions in this land. We never know when demons will attack, so it's better to have as many forces as possible——S"
Sebas was about to say that when it happened.
The world turned black.
"An attack?!"
Nest immediately jumped backwards and hid behind the shadow of a jet plane.
Sebas calmly surveyed the surroundings, while Mevia turned around and clicked her tongue at the two.
Yasukawa was nowhere to be found. Only the three of them were trapped.
Before the three, who were on guard against an attack, something unexpected happened.
"...What is this?"
"Oh, I see."
"Tch, how troublesome."
The black scenery suddenly burst into color.
A deep green, ignoring the seasons, covered the surroundings, and the jet plane where Nest was hiding was swallowed by vines.
In a matter of seconds, the three found themselves in a deep forest.
It wasn't just the scenery. The warmth of the sunlight filtering through the trees, the scent of dense greenery, it was all real.
Looking at the jet plane covered in greenery, Mevia opened her mouth.
"It seems like we've been captured by the Magic Domain rather than being teleported."
"It appears so."
"It appears so, huh?! That's not it!"
Mevia kicked Sebas' legs as she nodded. Gone was her elegant demeanor from earlier, replaced by a fierce kick that would make any adventurer flinch.
"You're here to protect me, huh? But you're letting yourself get caught so easily."
"I apologize. This Sebas, no matter what punishment he might receive."
"You're just happy, aren't you, you jerk!"
While the two of them were arguing, Nest was hiding in the shadows, watching.
He was suddenly captured in the Magic Domain.
Even when he didn't know what kind of attack might come, they were exposing themselves carelessly.
(This is the people who traveled with the hero...)
Nest was a novice. He didn't participate in the God-Demon War, but he would ask others about the situation in distant lands.
Even Nest, who knew so little about the world, knew many of the heroes (eiyuu)' great deeds.
He didn't know Sebas, but since he was a guardian of Mevia, he shouldn't be weak.
"Seriously, just when I wanted to quickly join up with Yuusuke and the others. It's a pain in the neck."
"I guess it's the perfect gift. Isn't that right?"
"I don't need any gifts when I'm around. It's rude."
"My apologies."
"Well, whatever."
Mevia was staring into the depths of the forest.
"Come out quickly. I'll face you."
As if they had been waiting for that word, something appeared.
It's an out-of-place sound of metal clashing in the forest. From the green depths, a knight in old-fashioned western armor appeared.
They held a lance in their right hand and a kite shield in their left.
It looked very strange to modern people, but the three people who lived in Asteris were used to it.
(Demon...? No...?)
Nest was a hunter. He didn't have much experience fighting demon.
Maybe that's why he couldn't tell if the armor was human or demon.
The armor swung his lance in a circle and stopped it in front of him.
"I am the guidebook of justice (Grimoire)! Vincent Luger! You evil thieves from another world, face me fair and square!"
A voice like a bomb of sound echoed. The grass shook with a shock, and Mevia made a clear face of disgust.
And one word.
"Sebas, go and shut that idiot up."
"As you wish."
Right after, Sebas's magic power was quietly, but fiercely, shaped.
Vincent also prepared his lance and shield, and stared at Sebas.
There was no signal.
But then, ahe ground exploded, and the two magicians clashed.
