Chapter 641
It wasn’t long before Scarlett returned to the ecliptic.
Since large-scale warp spots are always in operation for supply, Scarlett was able to return to the ecliptic as soon as she received permission.
Although it was extremely far in terms of distance, goods and people could come and go at any time with a single mass teleport cast by several archmages.
Some returned to the ecliptic during the winter, but Scarlett was the first to return to the Temple since the Allied Forces were dispatched.
In fact, since most of the people capable of fighting in the Temple wandered around the battlefield, they rarely returned to the Temple.
“Whoa… … .”

After coming back and taking a shower, Scarlett collapsed on the bed.
Even Scarlett felt that the end of the gate crisis was not far away.
As such, the sense of crisis grew.
There was always the anxiety of being able to survive until the end of everything. Scarlett is incomparably stronger than a normal person, but because of that, she has suffered countless death threats.
That’s why, there was no such thing as certainty that he would be able to survive to the end.
But everything came to an abrupt end.
I’m not injured, and the gate debacle isn’t over.
Because his ability is dangerous to his allies.
So I didn’t know that being on the battlefield more would be a problem.
“… … .”
Lying face down on the bed, Scarlett lay there blankly as if dead.
As it had been before, Scarlett also knew that the allied forces wouldn’t have a big problem just because she wasn’t there.
There are titans, and there are strange armies of unknown origin.
Will the fight end like this?
There are still a lot of unresolved issues, but is fighting mysterious monsters a paragraph now?
Even Scarlett knew that all this would come to an end in death or survival.
But it’s out of the blue.
To be honest, Scarlett was distraught because she did not expect her fight to end completely like this.
I don’t feel it.
All of a sudden, without any warning.
Can you rest now?
and that word.
heard from Anna.
What was the story about never to tell Christina?
What did it mean?
At first, her eyes looked so desperate that she did as Anna told her to, but Scarlett couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
Trusting Anna means that you didn’t trust Christina after all.
If this is finished someday, let’s ask then.
In fact, it may have been something insignificant.
Scarlett is lying face down on the bed and suddenly feels it.
The smell of the fluffy duvet is too unfamiliar.
No matter how long I had wandered outside, the dormitory bed, the blanket, and the scenery in the room were too unfamiliar.
The days of beggars roaming the streets now felt like a distant past.
The war engulfed everything, and everything that preceded it was overshadowed.
Everything feels like a distant past, and everything that was once familiar is unfamiliar.
I couldn’t live outside the temple, so I tried to cling to the temple.
But now, Scarlett can live outside the Temple as much as she wants.
Even if the war is over, it will remain to wipe out the remaining monsters on the continent.
Scarlett is useful wherever a sword is needed. And the place where the sword is needed is everywhere in the world. Scarlett can live without the Temple now.
Scarlett gets up from the bed and gazes at this familiar yet unfamiliar landscape.
2nd floor of the Temple Royal Class Dormitory.
A green landscape in summer.
Can the temple be restarted?
Too many people died, and there are many deaths among students.
Scarlett should have been in the 5th grade originally.
But everything comes to a standstill in the second year.
The dormitory, education, and scenery.
Everything is still and not flowing.
“… … .”
Will humanity ever regain its original tranquility?
Suddenly, Scarlett felt sad about everything.
It would be close to impossible for the temple to operate again.
However, even if the temple is operated again.
Friends who have already disappeared will not come back no matter what.
Asher.
Delphine.
Those two can’t come back.
Miraculously, even if Temple starts classes again, their empty seats will be empty forever.
Even if peace comes again to the world, the countless vacancies of such people will never be filled.
Scarlett ends up biting her lip and starts crying little by little.
Recalling the face of Delphine, who had died instead of her, Scarlett cried for a long time with her face between her knees.
can i live
Scarlett seemed to understand Ludwig’s feelings to some extent, who had to go back as if he was forced to leave the battlefield.
I don’t think it will end like this.
I guess there’s something more I can do.
Ludwig finally underwent some kind of treatment and why he was forced to return to the battlefield with a bandage wrapped around his arm, saying that only the rear support was enough.
It seemed that he knew his heart to some extent.
Others still risk their lives, and it bothers me that they are coming back like this, no matter how good the reasons are.
But Scarlett is very different from Ludwig.
Ludwig was out of power, but Scarlett was a problem.
It was a situation that had a bigger reason to withdraw from the battlefield than Ludwig.
Scarlett herself knows best that she can’t help it.
But just like Ludwig did, Scarlett was no longer the kind of person who could slack off saying that she had nothing to fight for.
Somehow, I feel pain and discomfort.
Scarlett stares at her hand.
Think about your superpowers.
What are all these useless abilities?
In fact, strictly speaking, it’s not such a useless ability.
Since the monsters started to use their strange powers, Scarlett’s ability had a place to use.
However, the number of monsters that use magic-like powers is not so many among the various monsters. And most of them are accompanied by overwhelming physical force, so there are many cases that don’t mean much.
So, psychic powers were only an auxiliary means, and it was impossible to believe only in them.
Even the magic equipment that touches the aftermath of his abilities has now become broken.
As the ability develops, it becomes a problem.
The good news is that you can consciously control it.
It’s a relief that the magic doesn’t work at all, and the teleport magic doesn’t work.
If it was at that level, I would have had to walk alone to this far away ecliptic and return.
It doesn’t mean much to the enemy, but rather a superpower that neutralizes golems and magic equipment of allies.
If it’s a fight between humans, Scarlett knows that her powers will be of great help.
Enemy wizards wouldn’t even be able to scratch Scarlett.
But it doesn’t mean much because it’s a fight with monsters.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Scarlett wants a fight like that.
It’s useless, but it’s a good ability to be useless.
The power to neutralize magic and psychic powers.
Scarlett laughs bitterly at herself.
Because my childhood when I was shunned as a witch was funny.
In fact, isn’t he the one who is the furthest away from witches?
I don’t know how to use magic, and magic doesn’t work.
I was teased like that because I had red hair and red eyes, and the days when I was bullied became funny and lonely.
Eventually, Scarlett left the battlefield.
It’s lonely that his ability is rather harmful to his allies, but after thinking about it, it can’t be helped.
‘okay… … .’
Scarlett thought quietly.
‘A person like me is good only when he is useless… … .’
Depending on what you think, it’s a strong ability, but rather, it’s better not to use it greatly.
such power.
So come back like this and wait for the war to end, and hope that a world will come where people can live in peace even if everything cannot return to normal.
You can wish for that.
Thinking so, around the time I was thinking of going to sleep for the first time in a long time.

“… … ?”
Scarlett tilted her head at the sound coming through the window.
clearly.
It was the cry of a cat.
‘what?’
cat cry.
out the window.
That’s right, there was a cat sitting and crying on the window sill outside Scarlett’s dorm window.
It was a cat that even Scarlett knew.
The cat is looking at herself outside the window and crying.
“ah.”
Only then does Scarlett recall the forgotten existence.
Apparently, there was a time when Ellen went back to the ecliptic for a while saying she left her cat in the dormitory.
After that, Ellen had rarely come out of her barracks and hadn’t talked to her, but it seemed certain she had left the cat behind.
So, that black cat must have been living in the dormitory ever since.
-Aug
-Tok tok
The cat taps the window with one foot the size of a fern.
As if to open it.
There is Ellen’s cat.
And I also saw Ellen taking her back. Because I saw her wandering around in a cage.
It’s not strange to have a cat.
-Aug
-Tok tok
Strange thing though.
“This is the second floor… … ?”
This is the 2nd floor of the dormitory.
And because the floor height is higher than that of ordinary buildings, the 2nd floor dormitories are much higher than the 2nd floor of ordinary buildings.
How the hell can a cat get up there?
Scarlett couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see the cat.
anyway.
I don’t know how he climbed up, but wouldn’t it be a big deal if he accidentally jumped down and got hurt?
Wouldn’t it be possible for such a case to happen?
I went up because I was able to go up, but it was difficult because I didn’t know how to go down.
But that cat.
I’ve seen it since it was a kitten, so why didn’t it grow at all?
Is it a slow-growing variety?
Scarlett thought about everything, and cautiously opened the window, fearing danger.

with sound.
jump.
While doing so, the cat runs into Scarlett’s room.
however.
-thud!
while doing.
“… … !”
The cat entered Scarlett’s room and took on a human form.
“ah… … ?”
That’s what being a person is.
If you’re too surprised, you’ll just be dumbfounded and muttered.
No words come out at all.
“ah… … . ah… … ? ah… … .”
so surprised
scary
Also, I’m sorry.
While Scarlett is unable to speak.
“I’ll ask you quickly. I’m in a hurry.”
took human form.
“Before you come here. So from yesterday until now.”
To be precise, the cat in the form of Reinhardt asked.
“Christina.”
“Louis Ancton.”
“Anna de Guerna.”
“Ludwig.”
Where did the cute cat go? Reinhardt with a serious expression.
Reinhardt, who had a bad temper and had a bad impression.
“Have you met one of these four?”
Let alone an explanation, he brought out the main topic without hesitation.
Of course, beyond answering, Scarlett was not in a situation where she could think.

“ah… … . ah… … . iced coffee… … .”
Scarlett couldn’t say anything and just sat there.
“Sah, live… … . Help me… … .”
As if he understood why he was doing this, Reinhardt narrowed his eyes as he looked at Scarlett.
“Hey, you don’t know, but I’m in a fucking hurry right now. hurry!”
Urgent is urgent.
Still, no explanation.
However, the face of the demon king looking down at Scarlett turned red.
Clearly, there was no sign of anger that seemed angry.
“If you can’t answer quickly, put on some clothes first!”
“!!!!!”
Besides, Scarlett had just finished taking a shower and fell asleep in bed, so she was wearing her underwear.
* * *
Scarlett almost fainted.
The world’s enemy who broke into Scarlett’s room blushed and threatened to put on clothes first if she couldn’t answer the question, so Scarlett trembled and put on her clothes first.
You even gave an order to someone who broke into someone else’s room without permission.
The demon king is also a bastard.
Far from being ashamed, Scarlett was just shivering in the corner of the room, embarrassed by the situation that was happening right in front of her eyes.
what is a cat
what is the devil
what is the content of the question
what so far
If the cat is actually the devil.
What has happened so far?
Scarlett was cornered, trembling all over, unable to open her mouth.
Sadly, the problem wasn’t just with Scarlett.
“Oh, I didn’t mean to look at it. But uh anyway. in a hurry sorry. It’s because I’m in a hurry too. There is no case, you know there is no case. I know… … .”
The Demon King did it in a hurry, but he was talking nonsense as if he knew what he had done.
What was the point of seeing him in his underwear?
If you think about what’s going on in the world, this is nothing. Are you apologizing for what a big deal this is?
Scarlett is just afraid of the demon king suddenly visiting her room.
Scarlett has seen a lot of rough things since the war.
However, at a completely strange moment, the demon king, whom he should never have encountered, was in front of him, so his head became a blank sheet.
I’m afraid of the devil.
However, no matter how you look at it, the demon king who was talking gibberish seemed embarrassed and ashamed, but he had no intention of killing.
“I… … . Won’t you kill me?”
“Why am I killing you!”
Rather, he reacts like a madman.
“So now you’re embarrassed, you’re scared, you’re wondering why I did this all this time, and you don’t believe me. know. I know. not convinced It’s embarrassing, but calm down for now.”
more than before
however.
Scarlett couldn’t help but feel that way while looking at Reinhardt.
It seems that he has become a more bizarre madman than before.
It looks very similar to the time of Reinhardt in Temple, as it is.
He is like a lamb as always.
Scarlett’s tremors gradually subsided.
I don’t intend to kill myself.
If that’s not the case, then why the hell did you come here?
“What the hell are you doing here… … ?”
“Hey, when I hear those words now, there are so many things that come to my mind as to what you are curious about. I can’t figure out what you’re curious about.”
Are you talking about the gate situation?
Are you asking what I’ve been up to?
Or are you asking about this situation now?
There are so many things he’s done, so if you ask questions in a general way, you don’t know what you’re asking.
Scarlett quietly glanced at the window.
“that… … . cat?”
“yes… … .”
There must have been quite a few more important topics, but Scarlett was immediately confused about what the situation was.
Regardless of the seriousness of the work, I can’t help but be curious about the demon king pretending to be a cat.
“this… … . that… … . Well, uh, actually, this is the most complicated… … ?”
And Reinhardt and other things were quite complex and difficult to explain, but imitating a cat was the most difficult to explain.
It takes 30 minutes to explain what has happened from the planning intention to the present.
Seeing Reinhardt speechless, Scarlett asked quietly.
the most important question.
“Ellen… … . Do you know… … ?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“… … .”
despite the terrifying circumstances.
despite the fear of the opponent.
“This crazy… … . A perverted bastard… … .”
Scarlett couldn’t help but be straight.
“this… … . That’s right! That’s right, but even if I get cursed at, I have to eat it from Ellen. Why do I have to get cursed at from you?! I’d rather have been swearing at you as a pervert with that!”
“Trash… … . So shameless… … .”
I don’t know anything else, but in the end, playing with people as a cat is a pervert who has nothing to say even with ten mouths.
“… … Yes, I am the one to kill.”
The Demon King had no choice but to shut up.
