The place where the group nicknamed the Demon Slayers was located was in an area where the realm of demons and the realm of humans straddle.

As the areas were adjacent, fights occurred quite often and even the strongest person could be crushed like an insect.

However, the number of demon slayers was 11.

It was said that even if the army was dispatched, more than half of the people were wiped out in less than a day, and with only 11 people, they were holding out and wiping out the demons.

Some people say it doesn’t make sense, but not Llewen.

I knew because I saw his power clearly at the age of 12.

If that’s the case, it’s possible.

As a result, she had no choice but to arrive there in an even more nervous state.

Because it became clear that the person I wanted so much was here.

She entered their location full of tension.

I thought it would be closer to a gruesome battlefield since the territories clearly border each other.

It was a place where people seemed to live quite a bit, perhaps because they had been there for a long time.

There were huts scattered everywhere and various daily necessities for people to live.

‘Now that I think about it, they also said they would receive support.’

As they are the ones who eliminate demons.

There is a lot of support for them.

In particular, this is a place where territory meets territory.

There seemed to be no shortage of supplies since they could bring you something right away if you wanted.

It was while I was looking around like that.

“Are you here?”

A sturdy man came out of the hut and greeted her.

Owner of a somewhat stocky physique.

However, the powerful presence that comes from human nature made me realize that I am a strong person.

indeed.

Lewen realized why she was able to maintain this battle line with only 11 people as soon as she saw the man in front of her.

The presence in front of her was as strong as any of the people she had ever seen.

Maybe even comparable to Paladin.

If there were more than 10 of them, it would not have been unreasonable for them to survive on the front line for a long time and kill the demons.

“The leader is currently in a very bad condition. Emergency measures have been taken, but they are still insufficient.”

“I’ll check.”

“You can go into the barracks over there.”

I stood in front of the barracks that the man told me about.

Lewen took a deep breath before opening it.

Although we are currently meeting as patients, it is the first time in 14 years that we are meeting.

After controlling my racing heart and trembling, I went inside.

This is exactly what I saw as soon as I went inside.

It was the mask I saw 14 years ago.

It had been used for so long that it was worn out and almost worn out.

Do you want to cover something?

Otherwise, there would be no need to wear the same mask for 14 years.

‘… ‘Let’s start with treatment first.’

You can ask questions later.

Currently, the only time she meets him is as a patient.

So, I had to exclude personal feelings and start with treatment.

Lewen immediately began checking his condition.

After spreading divine power through his fingers, he groped his body and looked inside.

After examining it, she frowned.

‘The wound is serious… ‘

There are no major wounds visible on the outside.

But the inside was serious.

The magical energy inside is fluctuating countless times, disintegrating the internal organs.

Additionally, many of the organs themselves were severely injured, torn, or not functioning properly.

How on earth am I supposed to fight to end up like this?

Lewen pondered over the type of wound she saw for the first time and then made a decision.

‘You have to hit all the sacred power.’

Half-hearted treatment does not work at all.

This is because the demonic energy that is scattering internal organs is not ordinary demonic energy.

It’s so violent and strong that even she has a hard time doing anything about it.

To the extent that such demonic energy must be eliminated.

It was necessary to pour out a considerable amount of divine power inside.

However, a problem arises here.

It is true that the energy called divine power basically has the characteristic of healing or purifying something.

As with anything, if taken in excess, it becomes poisonous.

It was clear that if you hit the divine power as hard as you can, there will naturally be side effects or problems. Especially for those who do not have divine power.

But in the current situation, I was in no position to cover that up.

First of all, I had to survive somehow.

Judging by that, Lewen slowly raised her sacred power.

*

10 hours.

It was the time from the moment treatment began in earnest to the moment it ended.

The inside is quite a mess and the demon energy needs to be eliminated.

She had to move the sacred power herself rather than just pouring it directly into his body.

If he moved too much, he would become crippled and unable to use his magic for the rest of his life, so he was treated carefully.

After a bloody battle that lasted 10 hours, the treatment was successful.

After finishing treatment, Lewen wiped away the sweat and checked his condition.

It was because he was worried that there might be something he didn’t know.

Fortunately, there was nothing there, so she sighed in relief and opened it with difficulty.

It was to leave room for a moment of stability.

“… Holy woman.”

However, Lewen stopped walking when she heard his voice immediately.

It is a voice heard for the first time in 14 years.

Although my voice was cracked due to an encounter that was quite different from what I had imagined.

That alone made her heart beat like crazy.

How should I answer?

As I was thinking about it, he spoke again.

“… You must be tired from the long treatment, so please stay here for a while. There are no empty barracks, so rest here.”

“… Yes.”

At first glance, it’s a recommendation that doesn’t seem particularly strange.

Llewen settled into her seat again, knowing that it was her intention to have a conversation for the first time in a long time.

The silence continued for a while.

This time, Llewen spoke first.

“… It’s been a while.”

“It’s been a while… ”

He got up.

Llewen tried to stop him, but he opened his palm as if it was okay.

“After… I’m sorry to greet you like this. Apparently, a lot of things happened. You couldn’t keep your promise.”

“It’s okay. I am glad to have met you like this, and more than anything, I have no intention of blaming you for setting out to catch the demons.”

“Is that so…? ”

His eyes met Llewen’s eyes.

“… Come to think of it, I didn’t explain my name… My name is… This is Kael.”

“Kael… Kael… I will remember.”

This is the name of my benefactor that I heard for the first time in 14 years.

Llewen pondered it with the determination to never forget it.

Kael said while looking at her.

“By the way, you have become a proper saint.”

“Of course. Since then, I have been trying only to become where I am now. It’s all thanks to you.”

“It is solely the saint’s capabilities. I just reminded you.”

“Even so, without you, I would have become a puppet of the high priests. I came here only because of you.”

Llewen gave an intense look in her eyes as if she couldn’t give up on this much.

Kael met her gaze.

Although his face could not be seen properly because it was covered by a mask, Llewen could easily tell that he was smiling.

“… But. Isn’t that uncomfortable? I think I’ve been using it for over 14 years.”

“You can call me my companion, so I don’t feel uncomfortable.”

“… Can you show your bare face?”

I know it won’t work.

But Lewen asked with a desire to see his face.

I wonder if he will listen to what he says.

There was no impure intention.

I just wanted to see everything about him by facing his face.

Kael seemed to have noticed Lewen’s expression and looked embarrassed.

His eyes were filled with quite a bit of trouble.

“That seems difficult… There are circumstances.”

“It’s a shame. I wanted to see your face once.”

“I’ll show you someday.”

“I will definitely remember it.”

“Yes.”

Lewen had a calm smile on her lips.

“Still… It’s so nice to see you after such a long time.”

Even though it is a mask rather than a bare face.

In fact, this alone gave her a fleeting sense of satisfaction.

Becoming a full-fledged saint and talking to him face to face was something I had always dreamed of.

also.

“You asked us to work together for a while, right?

She was glad that she didn’t break up with him right away.

Because I just had to gradually find out what I was curious about.

As Lewen had such thoughts, she suddenly remembered the conversation she had with the warrior.

The hero’s words as if he liked him.

Although he was aware of it to some extent, Llewen at the time denied that fact.

But the moment she faced him like this, Llewen knew.

that she likes him.

That too a lot.

‘Do you think the same as me?’

In fact, the meeting time was short.

For her, it was more intense and memorable than anything else, so the feelings at that time transformed into feelings of love.

He could have thought differently.

Although she recognizes how big of a deal it is, she may not actually have any feelings for her.

But Llewen wasn’t worried.

Although she has lived her entire life away from men, she objectively knows what she is like.

A look and body that no one can beat.

It’s a bit obscene, but so what?

She planned to use any means, obscene or otherwise, to seduce her lover.

Don’t let me leave like that again.
