1181 City of Pleasure, Part 16 - New Request (7) -

But I felt no wonder or fear. Or maybe he thinks it's useless to feel. In the first place, because Hamitte herself does not expect much from herself or the world.

"Yae woods. It was a lowlife place I didn't even want to remember."

"Bugs and disgusting plants."

"You've been there?

"Well. As much as I saw on the far roll. Step into the back."

"I guess that is. Because if countless enemies gather from all directions instead of all strength, they will be pushed in quantities and die in no time. Something that even the Supreme Bishop and the old Warcraft needed to be quite prepared to do"

"So, did you see anything?

"... only resentment."

Hamitte did the trick of holding his body with his arms. Surely she was frightened. Brandio couldn't hide his surprise because he showed this livered woman how frightened she was.

"Heh. It's such a big deal to frighten you."

"Please don't tear me up. The information I read from there was fragmented. That should mean it's already been quite a while since Calamity got rid of that place. The first thing I found out about this."

"Farewell, what's the second?

"Calamity is probably... human."

"Humans?"

This information was surprising to Brandio as well. Because I thought Calamity was a warcraft or a demon that parasitizes people. But even for Hamitte, this may have been a less confident matter.

"The information that was played is really fragmented. What happened over there, part of it. Calamity's... oh, Calamity's face burns in my eyes and I can't leave...!

Hamitte began to tremble, wandering to recall even the terrible things. Brandio didn't think this was an emergency, but he couldn't do anything about it. Because there was too little information.

"Relax. What did you see?"

"The girl jumping into the hole... that was probably the calamity. The look on that calamity is so horrible..."

"It may be harsh to ask, but how did you do it?

"I resented everything. That's enough to destroy everything in the world. Calamity is insane anymore. You won't stop until you're dead."

"Hmm, they're crazy people. Not so much. I've dealt with a lot of them before."

"Right, so am I. Still, unlike anyone else, it's the owner of an unusual force. Be careful. And then this."

"What?

Hamitte handed it to me, the resemblance of one woman. Brandio stared at it.

"What is this?

"Maybe that's one of Calamity's manipulative individuals. If Romansland has them, be careful."

"What about Miriazal?

"I gave it to you. You might be on Romansland's mission at the Continental Peace Conference. Or one more thing."

Do you still have it?

"I don't really know what that means... 'Even though I'm a witch,' he said. That was all the voices played back. You know what that means? The supreme bishop heard the words and shut up. You know something?

"Witch, huh?"

Brandio also thought about it again. A witch he had in mind was one who was good at dealing with witchcraft. I guess that's better than a witch. But maybe it's a little different. But at the moment, there was nothing I could do. Too little material to think about.

"Wye don't know. I'll give it a try."

"Yes, that's about all I know."

"You know, that was helpful. I'll pay you in the usual way."

"I hope you play a little. Because it's going to come in for you."

"Ho, do you take any action?

"Kind of. Don't worry, I'm not thinking so disturbing"

"Please. It's going to be tough to leave it alone anyway."

Brandio, to include Hamitte, had left the scene to receive a set of tools for the journey prepared by the store owner.

At the time of the handover, the shopkeeper spoke to Brandio.

"Hey, how long since you came to Arnelia?

"I don't know, a decade or so."

"Have you been born yet?

"I don't know. I was born quite a bit, but I'm not interested."

"Sometimes you're home?

Brandio's expression seemed strong for a moment to the store owner's casual words. The shopkeeper was puzzled by the unusual look on the part of the man.

"Hey, what is it? You look scared. It's just a public story, I guess."

"... my hometown has abandoned me. Come here now and then you can go home."

"Well, I'm sorry."

"Yeah. The owner always takes care of me."

"Yotai has spoken. By the way, what side is it? That was deliberate, wasn't it? But the pronunciation is different. My instinct is that somewhere in Grabber..."

"Store owner, talk too much."

When Brandio's hands touched the store owner's head all the time, the store owner's movements stopped perfectly. And Brandio's fingertips were glowing pale.

"I thought I was the right shopkeeper, but my mouth is the source of the disaster. You handed Wye your stuff here and went home without a thing. So, yeah?

The shopkeeper snorted silently. And when Brandio smashed the store owner's head at his fingertips, the store owner fluttered and went back to his house after him.

"... you can't use this store anymore to prepare for your journey. And it reminds me so much. Chest shit bad."

Brandio looked bitter, leaving the spot behind. A few days later, the store owner's body would be found from Arnelia's waterway, but all I could tell was that the cause of death would be cardiac paralysis.
