As soon as I heard that she was a lover, I couldn’t help but look at her with a questioning expression. Why on earth do people call us lovers even when we introduce them?

Sarah must have already had doubts about the relationship between me and her, but it only increased the doubts.

“Woman, are you a lover?”

As expected, Sera asked Hiria with a look as if she really heard what she heard.

Hiria nodded to him.

“uh.”

‘What is wrong? freezing.’

My mouth was completely blocked, so I had no choice but to shout from my heart.

Sarah looked at me.

I tried to shake my head to say no, but even that was blocked.

When exactly was the magic used? Even the position of the face was fixed.

I could solve it if I wanted to, but I stayed quiet, thinking that he might have something on his mind.

“Well, I see.”

Sarah shook her head as if she understood.

The old man, who had been lying down with his head on the ground, had calmed down to some extent and was standing up.

I tapped Hiria’s arm, which was covering my mouth.

Only then did Hyria’s hand, which was covering my mouth, come down, and I spoke in a low voice that only she could hear.

“What are you thinking?”

“What?”

“Well. The one you introduced as your lover.”

“It’s easier to use it as an excuse when we hang out together later. That’s the most understandable excuse right now, right?”

“How?”

A warrior party 500 years ago.

How on earth does it seem like an acceptable excuse to be in a romantic relationship with a magician there?

Rather, it is clear that people will only be suspicious and think it is strange.

“Then what are you going to say here?”

“That’s it… ”

As I was about to speak, I had no choice but to close my mouth for a moment.

As Hiria said, I couldn’t think of any excuse.

From the moment you are already related to her, it is difficult to understand with normal excuses.

‘But still. ‘Lovers.’

It’s a strange situation no matter what excuse you use, but if I were to suddenly become a woman with a person from 500 years ago, wouldn’t I also become a person from 500 years ago?

‘Either that or he’s a crazy person who became lovers even though we only met for a short time.’

Rather, we became friends through just talking.

It was absurd to say this when I could just say this much.

I kept my mouth shut as she looked at me and said that she would not allow any more rebuttal.

“Anyway. It’s like that.

Hiria said this with a satisfied smile.

I said with a sigh.

“First of all… Let’s go out.”

Although I am quite embarrassed by the current situation, I had to go out first and talk about it gradually.

I sighed and drew my sword.

The silver-colored sword boasting a brilliant sword body sparkles.

“Everyone, please step back for a moment.”

The three people who distanced themselves from me.

What I was going to do from now on was to cut down the entire ruins.

Although it can be said to be a bit extreme.

‘Because that’s the only way to take Hiria out.’

The reason why causality became distorted here.

That’s because she, who was the mage of the warrior party 500 years ago and now has the status of a transcendent, is sealed here.

Since we are sealing a being that is not just an idiot but has that level of status, it is inevitable that the causality will be distorted.

Therefore, there was no other way than to cut down the historical site, which could be said to be the seal itself.

“Hyria.”

“Are you asking me to move in space?”

“Uh… ”

She seemed to know right away what I was going to do and say.

I could only nod awkwardly.

‘Why does it feel like you know me so well?’

I don’t feel like I figured it out because I had good insight.

It felt like he had known me for a long time.

“… Then do it right away.”

First, I put aside thoughts about this and focused on the present.

This is a sealing place created by the goddess.

For most things, it wouldn’t budge.

I somehow raised my spiritual power more clearly.

The resulting waves flew here and there and swept the surrounding area.

The strong wind blew and expanded the area, but Hiria stepped in and blocked it before it could.

Thanks to this, I was able to increase my strength even more with peace of mind.

Cheesy!

Sparks fly.

The moment when you feel like you have gained some strength.

I swung my sword.

Sigh!

An afterimage remains where the sword cuts through.

At the same time as light explodes from the huge afterimage,

attacked the historical site.

A historic site that is gradually starting to collapse.

Then, the shackles that were constricting her soul seemed to be loosening.

She also raised her eyes wide as she felt the shackles that were confining her being loosened.

“Is it possible?”

The shackles are almost gone.

There were a few left, but I thought I could cut this much off on my own.

Hiria smiled and nodded as if that thought was true.

“Then.”

She extends her hand.

Magical power spreads across her palms.

The magic power that spread out formed a single magic circle.

The magic circle that emerged soon became a blade and cut the shackles that were holding her down.

She has completely regained her freedom.

Her eyes became slightly complex and subtle, and she looked down at her hands and smiled.

“Let’s go out.”

Hyria snapped her fingers.

Then, my vision was distorted and the space changed in an instant.

The space that appears again is the entrance to the historic site.

I returned there again.

Hyria immediately completely suppressed her power.

Unlike the historical site where causality was distorted, this was a normal place, so I had no choice but to suppress my strength and stay.

‘But you completely suppressed it?’

Like me, you could still use a little bit of strength.

She suppressed all of her power and sealed it away.

I wanted to know why, but looking at her frowning expression, it seemed like she didn’t mean to.

“Perhaps due to the influence of being sealed, all power is suppressed.”

“Are you no different from ordinary people?”

“That’s not it. Most people don’t even have to lift a finger. It might be a little difficult for those who are known to be strong among humans. however… ”

Her eyes turned to me.

“You will take care of that.”

“… That’s right, though. Something feels strange.”

Eyes filled with strong trust.

From my perspective, it wasn’t a bad thing, but I was a little embarrassed to suddenly receive such trusting looks after previously giving me untrustworthy looks in parts I couldn’t remember.

“So you don’t like it?”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.”

It’s just absurd.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like it.

She smiled at my answer and turned her head.

When I also turned my gaze, I saw Sarah and the old man with very shocked faces.

The old man seemed to have finally come to his senses.

He didn’t even make any facial expressions before.

Like a person who has finally figured out the situation properly.

“… I thought it was something unusual. It has something to do with something that happened 500 years ago… ”

Then, the old man gave me a look of disbelief.

I roughly figured out what the old man was thinking.

“I’m not a hero.”

If you think about it, he’s a warrior from another world.

At least it had nothing to do with this world.

After correcting the old man’s misunderstanding, I finally said what could be considered the last thing.

“Have you achieved everything you wanted?”

“Okay… Even though my colleagues are not here… I achieved what I wanted… My colleagues must be happy up there too.”

The old man’s face was filled with relief when he said that and smiled.

It was probably natural as I achieved something I had dreamed of for a long time.

As I was smiling at the thought of being so fortunate, Hiria blurted out.

“If it were my colleagues, would they still be alive?”

Her words made me and the old man look like idiots at the same time.

When I looked at her with eyes asking me to explain, she fell asleep as if thinking about an old memory, and then opened her mouth as if it had just come to mind.

“You fell into a trap at the ruins, right? At that time, it was my first time to see humans who had gone that deep, so I saved them. However, I was so out of my mind at the time that I just cast a sleep spell and put him to sleep.”

In an instant, the old man’s face turned pale.

It seemed like they thought it would be buried in the ruins they had left behind, but I thought differently.

“You’re in a different space.”

“Uh. I’ll load it right now.”

Hyria immediately snapped her fingers.

Then a portal appeared in the air.

From there, four humans slowly fall.

His eyes were closed, as if the sleep spell had not yet worn off.

As soon as the old man saw them, he knelt down.

Seeing his colleagues whom he thought he would never see again, the old man burst into tears on the spot.

The colleagues carefully settle down on the ground.

The old man kept shouting while looking at them.

“Thank you… thank you… thank you… ”

Sarah shed tears as if she empathized with the old man’s feelings.

Hiria and I just waited quietly until the old man wiped away all his tears of joy.
