Chapter 19

“Where are you? Where did you go?”

The situation was concluded, and a while later, I heard a young voice from within the forest as I put my throwing knives away in my briefcase.

“Where are you?!”

“She rode a cane and flew away, chairman.”

“Huh!”

Her eyes opened wide when she noticed the devil with a hole through its head.

“You’ve already done it!”

“…”

I tried to clean the blood off my face with Cleanse, but the mana in the blood resisted my magic. I had no choice but to wipe it with a handkerchief and throw it away.

“As expected of a Yukline wizard! You just killed a devil! What magic did you use? Ah! Metal seemed to have penetrated this part of him…is this, by any chance, caused by the [Gale Blade Awl] that I created?!”

“What a childish name.”

My voice unconsciously sounded sharp, causing the chairman to throw her head back in surprise.

“W-what? Everyone said it was good!”

“Who do you think would dare say such a painful truth to the chairman?”

I turned around after saying that. I heard her murmur in reply.

“R-really? Is it really not good?”

“Yes.”

“Ah…”

She grew sullen. Her habit of pretending to be immature made me uncomfortable, but what happened after that was filled with blood. The chairman picked up the devil’s body and threw it away.

Thwaaang—!

It grazed my shoulder before falling onto the ground, its flesh and blood splattering all over the place.

“The [Gale Blade Awl] isn’t a good name…”

The chairman muttered indifferently, and I calmly walked in the middle of the carnage. Thanks to psychokinesis, not a single drop of blood managed to splatter onto me. When I came down the mountain, many wizards had already gathered in front of the tower.
