Chapter 306 The Mage’s Slave, and the Traces of War (1)

"I see. That is worrying."

Melchior hearing my words wrinkled the brows.

"Well will heal if a while."

"...Understood. If anything please say."

Opened the mouth immediately after I said, but after hesitating an instant answered that while smiling.

Something incongruity.

Something unknown.

"Even so a war that seems to drag on. Let us quickly settle so as not to touch Lord Asahi’s body."

Melchior said that and glared at the other side of the large crater I made.

With those words felt like understood the identity of the incongruity.

"Miss Melchior. Did I do something?"

Melchior strangely caring for me.

"Please stop attaching san to me. I am already Lord Asahi’s Dule."

Then Melchior said that to me.

......Ha?

"Um, no memory but..."

Completely no memory.

Looked at the faces of Muriel and Rosina beside me both sides, but both were sighing with expressions as if enlightened somewhere.

As if saying again.

No really did not know.

"Even if saying that, like this..."

Melchior took off her own robe, removed the chest string of the short tunic wearing and slid from the shoulders, exposed the upper body.

There were the splendid breasts seen before.

On the large breasts about the same as Muriel light cherry-colored nipples were on.

No not that, raising the gaze a little up around above the right breast a familiar crest was engraved.

That was indeed my crest.

"I-indeed..."

Even staring did not change.

"...Is this as is fine?"

Whether misunderstanding something looking at me staring at the chest Melchior said that.

"A-no, not that meaning..."

Tried to hurriedly make an excuse, then suddenly noticed.

"...No cracks."

Yes, there were cracks like glass broken around the chest, but that completely none.

Soft-looking fine-grained beautiful skin.

"Yes, this too thanks to Lord Asahi creating a soul for me."

Applying both arms to her own exposed chest affectionately Melchior said that deeply moved.

...What happened while I lost memory?

"...Really no memory?"

When silently unable to say anything in anxiety and confusion Melchior asked me suspiciously.

"Eh, a-yes."

"I see... right. Understood. But the fact that I am Lord Asahi’s Dule does not change. I will sit in the lowest seat of the Dules who can be here, but is that fine?"

When I affirmed though falteringly Melchior bowed her head applying a hand to the chin as if thinking something and nodded.

But whether having some idea immediately raised the gaze and looked at my face, then declared becoming a Dule.

Well for form taking understanding from me.

"A-no, well, w-understood."

Further falteringly I understood.

"Then from now please call Mel. Then please not to use honorifics either. What should I call? Again ’Master’ fine?"

Melchior floated a smile and asked requests and questions to me in rapid succession.

Around talking really happily felt floating.

Became a legend, but looking at such places felt cute.

Ah, no more than that...

"Please wait a little. For now put aside the Dule talk, just now did you not say I created a soul?"

"Yes. With that I became a Dule. Things without souls cannot become Dules either, nor hold Dules."

That was right.

Dules were something like a contract established by handing over or receiving souls.

Without a soul this contract did not establish.

But...

"Me creating a soul..."

No way able.

What could do that was...

There it came to mind.

"Were you able to meet a god?"

Such a thing only a god could do, and therefore Melchior was searching for a god.

"Unknown. But at that time Lord Asahi was godly."

Godly, that...

Then me a god?

No way.

"Miss Melchior. Master is tired. Please do not make such out-of-the-blue talk."

Muriel entered the talk of me and Melchior and cautioned Melchior.

Up to here seemed hesitating, but considering the fact Melchior was my Dule entered the talk, probably.

"Right. Understood. Let us do this talk again later."

Melchior too cautioned by Muriel without appearance of harming mood directed a smile to Muriel too and answered.

Me too because the inside of the head confused now maybe better to think after putting a little time.

"Already the talk ended? Lord Mel, what should we do?"

Whether waiting for our talk to end from behind Melchior Floche talked to Melchior.

Beside Niagara was there too.

"I of course am thinking of supporting Lord Asahi under Lord Asahi. If can be together with me will you not support Lord Asahi together? With Lord Asahi’s permission even becoming the same Dule as me fine I think..."

"No way! Absolutely refuse!"

Before Melchior finished talking Floche denied as if shouting.

Was I disliked that much?

Did not know much about Floche, and even if disliked no such thing as dejected, but the mood became bad.

"Is that so? When helped by Lord Asahi praised..."

"Ah! Ah! No such thing! What are you saying!"

Floche reddened her face and shouted overlapping Melchior’s words.

"Fufufu. Please do as you think. And... until now thank you very much."

Melchior floated a smile, waited for Floche’s voice to cut off and said that while looking at Floche and Niagara.

Then bowed her head deeply.

Floche and Niagara were looking at that dumbfounded.

"Now then with this let us make the last."

Melchior walked out passing between us and Floche and them, and went outside the barrier.

In front of the eyes the enemy army that began setting up camp around the rear of the large crater was there.

Whether survived that vicious fireball that could be called a great disaster, or evacuated somewhere.

"Though should not match Lord Asahi my magic can be used a little too."

Melchior who turned this way and smiled nikkori faced forward again and stretched both hands forward.

"..."

Because facing the other side the content unknown, but seemed chanting a spell.

"Absolute Nothingness"

Then at the same time the chanting ended gripped the open both hands.

Then as if cut out the things that should have been there became nothing.

Abruptly, suddenly.

Like magic.

The monsters that should have been there without a single one remaining gone.

Not only the monsters.

The ground was scraped off too.

That connected to the large hole, and the appearance of the still wriggling lava flowing from there visible.

Whether even the air gone in that space wind was blowing wildly.

I who was dumbfounded directed the gaze to Melchior.

Melchior had both knees and both hands on the ground and was breathing roughly.

"Fine!?"

I hurriedly ran to beside Melchior.

"Haa, haa, a little, got carried away, nku, haa, haa, haa"

Melchior was streaming sweat from the forehead.

The complexion bad too.

"Used up magic power~."

Rosina said as if amazed.

Haa.

"Please sit there."

"Haa, haa, please, haa, haa"

Melchior who somewhat arranged the breathing sat down on the spot.

I touched the left hand to the right breast of the still exposed chest and sent magic power directly from the first crest.

"Aaa!!!"

Suppressed the back of Melchior who tried to arch with the right hand and sent further.

Normally if sending the master’s magic power to the first crest would feel pleasure and continue climaxing, but that became rapid replenishment when magic power gone too.

Though as done to Sophia before connecting the most efficient.

No way able in such a place moreover against Melchior with still completely no sense of reality.

Melchior while reddening her face was shaking her waist.

Muriel and Rosina and them were looking at Melchior amazed, but Floche and Niagara early turned their backs as if unbearable to see.

"Aa, aa, ya, as expected, your, Du, Dule, is it, nnn!!"

Melchior said that and floated an ecstatic expression looking at me.

...Definitely my Dule.

With this the defense war of Lubeck city against the Demon Lord army ended.

Many of the soldiers still stationed at the east gate because there might be remnants, but the mercenary groups and mage units, priest units etc. entered the city and dissolved.

To do post-war processing Freit and the city’s leadership were having meeting after meeting, but as one part of that we were called too.

There the captain class of the units that participated this time all participated.

But not a single one of those subordinates.

The ones brought for escort were waiting in a separate room.

Muriel and Rosina who came with me no exception.

Then first regarding the mercenary groups...

"The Dragon Fang mercenary group did not participate much in this war, right."

"As you say. Though outside our assumption missing the dragons is a fact."

Rosa the captain of the Dragon Fang mercenary group without denying Freit’s modest words specifically stated and acknowledged.

Well abandoned the fight in front of the fire dragon that if left as is not strange even if the entire army annihilated not just the Dule unit.

Thinking being blamed from Lubeck city side unavoidable, but...

"Let us pay the participation fee. But still the whereabouts of the remaining two dragons not grasped. If possible please remain as is for a while."

Freit said that matter-of-factly with a cool face.

"...That itself better to request that gentleman there?"

Rosa who was dumbfounded for an instant whether unexpected pointed at me and returned that to Freit.

"Right. But Lord Hiroyuki is one person. Might request other errands, and first might not be here."

"Insurance for that time?"

"Right. For dragon extermination no one surpasses the Dragon Fang mercenary group."

Freit said that without even grinning.

"Understood. Let us stay here for a while. Please treat us well."

Rosa looked at me and smiled wryly, then bowed her head toward Freit.
